Scorpion Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hello all! I would just like to give a special thank you to the administrators and others who work on Kametsu and making available an immense amount of Anime for those of us who cannot viably watch it. (Not being shown on TV, poor internet speeds to stream etc)With that out of the way, I was thinking of posing to question to any and all that would like to answer or participate. Now using the rules that I will provide in a moment, I would like to see your own personal team made up of any and all Anime Characters that have to cross over into the same universe to confront a reality threatening peril. Now the rules are...1) You can only choose anime characters (duh)2) You must choose a character for each of the 5 roles corresponding and adhering with TV Tropes.com's "5 Man Band."To explain the concept of the "5 Man Band," here is an excerpt from their site..."The Five-Man Band is a group of characters whose members fall into archetypes which all complement one another. They are a very specific team with skills that contribute to the group in a unique way. The group traditionally includes (Using a music band twist):• The Hero — (lead singer) The leader of the group. Can be clean-cut and upstanding, bold and charismatic, serious and driven, or some combination of the three. • The Lancer — (lead guitar) The second-in-command, usually a contrast to The Hero. If the Hero is clean-cut and/or uptight, the Lancer is a grizzled Anti-Hero or Deadpan Snarker; if the Hero is driven and somewhat amoral, the Lancer is more relaxed and level-headed. • The Smart Guy — (keyboardist) The physically weak, but intelligent or clever member. Often nerdy and awkward played for comic relief. Sometimes unconventionally young (early- to mid-teens). Sometimes a trickster and a buddy of the Big Guy. May be the one with all the "street" connections.• The Big Guy — (drummer) The strongman of the team. May be dumb. Or mute. • The Chick — (vocal effects, tambourine) A peacekeeping role to balance out the other members' aggression, bringing them to a nice or at least manageable medium. The Chick is often considered the heart of the group. Not always female, but the role is usually taken by the Token Girl (hence the name). Sometimes referred to as "the useless girl".Now for example, for the Anime Dragonball Z during "The Saiyan Saga" the 5 Man Band is listed as...The Hero : GokuThe Lancer : PiccoloThe Smart Guy : KrillinThe Big Guy : TienThe Chick : BulmaNow that is an example for one Anime, the challenge is to make a 5 Man Band from any anime adhering to the above conventions that you would like to face a Reality-Threatening disaster with.... Goku working with Itachi from Naruto is the start of quite a team I would think...And Ready.... Set....GO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
