Anime Hair Color and other Clichés

Recommended Posts

As the author of "How to be an Anime Character" (Available on Amazon) I've categorized a lot of the clichés that make anime what it is. So what have you noticed? 

 

 

For example who here had noticed that certain hair colors in anime mean certain things? 

 

For example girls (and some boys) with pink hair are often psychotic, but after they try to kill you they will often be apologetic or at least take their punishment, where as the white haired and gray haired guys who try to murder you (and they ALWAYS betray somebody) will do the same thing, but won't apologize. Ever. light blue (cyan) is close to this. 

 

Dark blue and green indicates high intelligence

 

Red hair and purple seem to imply a high libido

 

Black and orange are fairly generic

 

Blonds are split between geniuses, Nazi jerks, and bimbos. 

 

Bald guys are usually pretty serious.

 

 

Any other clichés? Agree-disagree?
