* A JustForFun/TropeOverdosed animated work depicting the epic, world-changing adventures of a diverse group of undersupervised young people. While there are obvious fantastic elements, it falls well outside the conventions of MedievalEuropeanFantasy. The cast includes a kind, goofy boy on the brink of adolescence who has air-related elemental powers; a snarky teenage boy with a sword who acts as the Manly Man to the air-power boy's Sensitive Guy; a rather femme ActionGirl (whose name begins with the letter K) who tries to be the TeamMom to her similarly-aged friends and has unusual supernatural attributes associated with blood; a badass blind girl (whose name begins with a T) who learned an unusual means of nonvisual perception from supernatural creatures; a sympathetic paraplegic boy (whose name also begins with a T) with a flying wheelchair; an adorable flying bovine; a BadassAdorable girl with some {{Animesque}} traits who has an OddFriendship with a much less cutesy young aristocrat; a snarky young lady who is the Dark Feminine of a LightFeminineDarkFeminine pair and wields pointy objects; a highly competitive, manipulative, very troubled adolescent girl with an abusive parental figure, who is associated with the color blue and belongs to a technologically advanced, militaristic culture; a cranky but sympathetic adolescent male from the same culture as the aforementioned troubled girl, who is the descendent of a Messianic figure and something of a foil to the goofy boy with wind powers; and a Creator/DanteBasco character. The series has a large, active fandom, including an abundance of {{Shipping}}, which the creators are aware of and have affectionately parodied.\\

* These two works feature the tale of a FarmBoy who discovers a PlotCoupon sent to a [[TheMentor wise old mentor]] by a [[DistressedDamsel captured princess]], and has his uncle who raised him killed by the impenetrably hooded servants of the EvilEmpire. The two set off for justice. The mentor is a former knight who teaches the farmboy how to use his mystical powers in about five days (not that his magic is much use until he becomes stronger) and gives him a sword that belonged to his father before he "bought the farm". Luckily, the farmboy meets up with a Badass AntiHero, rescues the princess, who is also a major player in the Rebel army, and joins [[LaResistance the rebellion]], becoming a key member before going to train with a half-mad old hermit in the forest. After this, he discovers that his father was TheEmpire's [[TheDragon right-hand man]] and he's been betrayed by his own family...\\

* [[AmbiguousDisorder Possibly autistic]] guy who likes to punch people has an awkward, chaste romance with a Chinese high school girl until he meets a mysterious, blue-haired woman with a dangerous past and cosmic powers given to her by twisted experiments.\\

* The story involves peril, adventure, and shadowy conspiratorial goings-on, but the emotional heart centers around an OddCouple of two men who are ''very'' fond of each other. The younger one is a genius GuileHero with killer cheekbones who has sociopathic tendencies but remains on the side of good (in an antiheroic sort of way) and could even be seen as a bit of an understated woobie (or at least a sympathetic BrokenAce). The older one is a bit shorter, more cute than male-model handsome, very competent in his own skill set, and rather nicer than his partner. One of the guys has an AmbiguousDisorder. The other once served in the military and is an excellent shot. A sexually ambiguous dark-haired young man with a fondness for messing with the guys' heads makes an appearance as a villain. Who are this dynamic duo?\\

* This show is the sequel series to another show, becoming DarkerAndEdgier in the process. Many of the concepts from the first show are {{Retcon}}ned to come from aliens; for example, the protagonist turns out to have descended from aliens, despite looking human. One of the villians from the first series joins up with the hero, now much older than the first series, and the protagonist's female sidekick, the smartest of the group, acts as [[TheChick the group's bonding force]]. The female sidekick begins having a romance with a dark, brooding villain who switches sides every so often, while the hero becomes friends with one of the most powerful beings in the universe. One of the main plots in the show includes the heroes journeying from planet to planet to find several parts of a whole item which grants power beyond anyone's comprehension. Also, the show is criticized for having quite a lot of filler. The show, which was aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork, has several sequel series of its own. Whether this is better than the original or not depends on the viewer.\\

* Let's see...four person main cast, but many characters among the guest stars, including politicians, alien ambassadors, allies and a large RoguesGallery. [[TheHero The field commander]] is borderline suicidal and lost his family due to tragedy. TheChick is a scientist who likely has the most common sense, but is still a trained fighter. [[TheSmartGuy There's a Ph.D.]] who signed on reluctantly, is grossly underpowered compared to his teammates, but can be really dangerous if pushed. And a [[TheBigGuy walking tank bred to be a fighter]] who is the only non-human crew. The commander back home has the unenviable task of putting up with both the team's antics and the crooked politicians trying to shut the project down.\\

* This work has become one of the most well-known examples of a popular genre of the late 80s-90s, despite being in many ways a more philosophical Deconstruction of that genre, possibly due to CreatorBreakdown. It concerns a young man whose estranged father commands him to become a man of action; contrary to most of the genre's heroes, however, the son struggles with the psychological and philosophical implications of this role, even though there are moments when he performs admirably; in one scene, he performs the sort of action that his father wanted him to while his mother is present. The work lends itself well to Freudian analysis, probably because of the main character's mother issues. His only real confidante is a male friend with whom there is a hint of sexual attraction; one of his female love interests has to be institutionalized before dying along with most of the other characters in a KillEmAll ending.\\

* A girl becomes friends with her [[IllGirl Ill Boy]] of a cousin and helps her cousin improve himself in a dark, [[BigFancyHouse big, fancy]], rambling Gothic mansion, owned by a reclusive, Byronic man (whose sanity began significantly slipping after the death of his beloved), located at the edge of a moor where the wind is always "wutherin'."\\

Now, is this heroine named ''Film/{{Madeline}}'' or ''Film/{{Annie}}''?

* The protagonist of this story is a teenage boy [[GenderBender who turns into a girl]] at the worst possible times. He soon meets his future love interest, a girl named Akane who [[{{Tsundere}} alternates between shy/calm and rude/bitchy]]. Eventually, the protagonist soon nets a [[HaremGenre Harem]] of both girls and guys which he has trouble escaping. Several characters who enter the story are animals with human-like tendencies. Eventually, the show itself gradually switches from an action series with some {{fanservice}} to a comedy that ramps the fanservice UpToEleven.\\

* This takes place in a world where the time period and technology level/aesthetic [[SchizoTech don't quite add up.]] The story centers around a [[DysfunctionJunction dysfunctional]] [[TrueCompanions yet tight-knit]] team of nine mercenaries. Said mercenaries include: [[TheMedic a medic]]; [[TheEngineer a friendly, easy-going mechanic]]; [[InsistentTerminology a Professional With Standards]]; [[ScaryBlackMan an intimidating black person]]; [[ShellShockedVeteran a soldier who's still stuck on a war that ended long ago]]; someone who's [[MysteriousPast past is unknown]] because he is secretive; someone who's [[MysteriousPast past is unknown]] because he/she is [[TheUnintelligible imcomprehensible]]; an [[GenkiGuy enthusiastic]], [[ManChild somewhat childish]] guy; and a [[TheBigGuy rather large,]] HotBlooded fellow who is [[ICallItVera very attached to his guns.]] There are {{Nice Hat}}s aplenty.\\

* The action of this story takes place within a 3-ringed walled city built to keep out the villains, whose power comes from the sun. But all is not well within the city, as it's ruled by a PuppetKing and a [[SecretPolice shadowy secret police]] that [[{{Brainwashed}} wipes the people's memories to keep them under control]], which happens to a young man with dark brown hair, a fighting style that involves lots of acrobatics and DualWielding, two friends, one stoic and black-haired, the other shorter and more emotional, and he has a [[{{Revenge}} strong hatred]] of the villains after they killed his parents that outright pushes him into HeWhoFightsMonsters territory, though his BlackAndWhiteInsanity [[CharacterDevelopment does get somewhat better.]] The first young AntiVillain we meet must capture the protagonist (who's heir to a long line of people with special peacekeeping powers and who can access his predecessors' memories as a guide) in order to go home and [[WellDoneSonGuy see their father again.]] (They also have their fair share of FoeYay with the HeWhoFightsMonsters character, though that seems to have diminished due to one party's mineral-related possible death.) After a hundred years of relative peace and several unsuccessful attempts by the villains to break through the city's walls, they send a team of 3 kids, consisting of a outgoing, friendly one, a shy, quiet one, and a cold, ruthless girl whose name starts with an A, who eventually succeed. The heroes succeed in overthrowing the SecretPolice and exposing the GovernmentConspiracy, though that's more of a HopeSpot than anything else, and the season 2 finale takes place in a cavern lit by glowing crystals.\\
