The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to You Know That Show and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
It should be psychologically damaging, but they're unaffected? Anime
What sort of Psychology Tropes or trope fits this scenario:
In an episode of an anime about bounty hunters Alice and Bob, they see a mighty battle take place on the field, involving a Captain Ersatz of The Incredible Hulk, and death, Stuff Blowing Up, even body parts. This sort of thing should be psychologically damaging to the average person (Alice and Bob are humans in this Fantasy Kitchen Sink), but Bob laughs it off and says "Ehh, I've seen worse, in the fires of Hell."
Is there a trope for where a character finds war on Earth so desensitizing because they've seen worse in a place like Hell?
Character dead in main continuity, but revived in another due to popularity? Anime
Is there a trope for where a character who is officially Killed Off for Real and Deader Than Dead in main continuity, but brought back to life in a Non-Serial Movie or Spin-Off due to their popularity?
Basically, a character brought back from the dead due to popularity with the audience, but without using any supernatural means to revive them.
Refuge in audacity, but for creators Anime
Sometimes, the creator really does not want to bother with too much realism - and at the same wants to discourage fan nitpicking. So, said creator just makes things BLATANTLY unrealistic. As in "hey, you see where this is going, so forget your logic filters and just enjoy".
The example I am thinking of is AKB 0048. Girls open the door of a jet that is taxiing (on a railway, ok) and preparing to take off, just to pull their friend in. The friend is able to run at taxiing speed, but more importantly, the takeoff is not cancelled and the girls are not caught - the doors just close right after they pull her in. Bonus points: the creator is Shoji Kawamori, an aviation enthusiast. So he's obviously making a blatantly unrealistic moment just for the sake of it.

Please help me find the tv show Anime
I have been searching everywhere, and nobody seems to know what the name of this tv show is. The tv show is a cartoon that took place on maybe cartoon network, or disney channel, im really not sure, it was about a young girl, looked the age of 11 or so, she has black hair, pale skin, she lives with a mean female guardian, her dad is dead i think and she starts to look for her mother. She also wants to become a ballerina like her mother, and a an odd guy with a black goat and a black top hat tries to help, but he's quite dangerous. She also have a best friend who is a guy around same age as her. The cartoon itself looks quite natural, not an anime where the people have huge boobs and are goofy, it's quite a serious cartoon that i enjoyed very much. The show might also be french since the name of it was quite exotic and fancy.
Time travel show or movie Anime
When I was about 9 I remember watching an anime which had a time travel aspect to it. There was a girl and a boy and the boys future self came back to the past to protect her from something or someone dangerous. There's a specific scene I remember when the boy and himself from the future meet in a graveyard.
Childish rubber ring Anime
Is there a trope about a character carrying a rubber ring to the sea to give them a chidish vibe? I've seen that quite often…

No glasses when transformed (not Clark-Kenting) Anime
When the character has glasses and doesn’t wear them when transformed (magical girl style).
Where a Guy is Chosen to Participate in a Female Only Team Anime
This is something I've seen often enough, I was wondering if it was a Trope. It's usually seen as part of Another World type shows. Examples include Natsuru Senou in Kämpfer, and Kazuki Yotsuga in Dual!
Two characters run at each other in a fight Anime
Two characters (usually hero and villain) run at each other during a fight and attack when they run past each other. Sort of like they’re jousting. After they run past each after, they stop and a distance and one character (usually the overconfident villain) notices that he was severely injured and falls (maybe dies) while the other character stands still. Usually both expected before the fight for the outcome to be the opposite.

Looking for Specific Death Trope Anime
The one I'm looking for is about someone with an extreme fear of dying, to the point of either thinking about it constantly, or spending most of/their entire lives doing everything they can to prolong their existence. I need it so I can update the Kamigari character page for Maken-ki!.
The closest one I've found is I Don't Want to Die, but according to the trope description, that one only applies to heroic characters and is more about the phrase itself. Any help would be appreciated.
Something which everybody contributes a little, and the result is stupid/hilarious Anime
I felt like seeing similar plots in Anime, Manga and Live Action TV:
A group of people decided to make something, but they can't reach a consensus on its functions or style or color, so they say "We all make a part of it and put it together", and the result is something very stupid...
Is there a Trope for this?

Series Movie?? Anime
Is a Non-Serial Movie an Alternate Continuity, or a different trope altogether? What's the major difference these two tropes have??
Character singing a weird song? Anime
There is this thing I've seen in anime where a character, for whatever, is singing a song with strange lyrics, possibly while in a "guru pose" or something, sometimes while just walking along. I noticed it just now in an episode of Toradora (Episode 17, starts around 5:42 on Crunchyroll) when Minorin is sitting on a desk in a bald cap with what appears to be a piece of bamboo in her mouth, singing about her leg muscles).
It isn't super common, but it's definitely a thing I've seen in other shows (I wish I could recall which). Do we have it? Do we have a name for it? Does it reference a Japanese cultural trope I'm not familiar with?
Double-Meaning Insult Anime
In this situation, the main character is your average everyday young man (who just so happens to be the protagonist of an anime). And it just so happens that he was selected to be a (or possibly the first) member of a Magical Girl team. Naturally, him having the wrong gender is easily rectified by having him turn into a girl in the process, then revert back to a guy when powering down, which leads to a humorously serious conversation when one of the properly female members develops A-Cup Angst:
Glowing eye asymmetry Anime
That thing in anime where a character's eyes are glowing, and one of their eye has only pupil glow through their dynamic shading while the other eye is shown completely.

Is there a comprehensive list of "Character Tropes"? Anime
Basically things that describe a character in Anime(or other media) rather than the medium itself.
Anime: State the name; pause for effect Anime Anime
I'm watching Hero Mask on Netflix and besides the agonising long stares in conversations, I'm noticing how much characters just say a person's name and nothing more. There's a heck of a lot of "Monica." when she's not there, but also saying the name of someone who's just entered the scene or is leaving (e.g. soooo much "Theo!" at one point). What are these terrible writing tropes that seem to just fill air time?
