Lampshade Hanging/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Daughter of Twenty Faces]]'' seems to enjoy hanging lampshades on many of its [[Trope|tropes]], such as [[Big Brother Instinct|the relationship between the heroine and a junior member]] of the [[Gentleman Thief|Gentleman Thief's]] gang, or [[Improbable Age|the fact that the heroine is a bit young]] to be a cat burglar.

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' hangs lampshades in order to help ''subvert'' its [[Trope|tropes]] -- the [[Bishounen|pretty boy]] main character is so pretty that his callsign and half-mocking nickname among his friends is Princess (to his chagrin); when Klein, a [[Human Aliens|Zentraedi]] who [[Sleep Mode Size|has trouble with her "height"]] when human-sized, is teased by an old friend about it, the old friend jokes that if they ever got romantically involved the friend would probably get arrested for pedophilia.

** Kyon's [[First-Person Smartass]] narration lampshades just about everything.

** Haruhi has lines in "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" that show the dangers of ''not'' lampshading when necessary. When Kyon suggests that there's no reason for "combat waitress" Mikuru to be from the future, she says "We can think about it if someone pokes fun at it. We can just ignore the question if we can't think up an excuse for it. [[Rule of Cool|Anything goes if it's interesting]]!"
