CATDOLL: Japanese netizens complained that the heroines of novel adaptations are all the same and can be copied from the same template

The first episodes of the two October anime series "Asterisk: Battle of Gakuen" and "The Heroic Tale of the Fallen Knight" which were recently aired were pointed out by Japanese netizens to have extremely high similarities in plot and setting. This topic is now even more heatedly discussed by netizens. Many netizens even pointed out that light novel adaptations to animations have always had the problem of similar settings and similar heroines, and some people have specifically listed the necessary heroine templates for light novel adaptations to animations.

I think the current light novel adaptation anime characters are nothing more than this:

No. 1: Red hair and twin ponytails, tsundere, violent, prone to rampage;

No. 2: Blonde curly hair, a big lady, very proud, rival of No. 1;

No. 3: Silver medium-length hair, cute, very clingy, and lacks confidence;

No. 4: Black ponytail, serious, cadre-like, calm

No. 5: Short silver hair, three-nothing, relatively pure and cold.

Anyway, no matter what the setting of the work is, there will definitely be similar attributes and personality combinations, and as the plot unfolds, the conflicts and reconciliations between the characters will also be similar.

The two new works in October are highly similar

Generally speaking, red-haired girls are the heroines, while blue-haired girls are the rivals. Speaking of which, green-haired girls are often the out-of-this-world or mysterious types.

Regarding the hair color issue, the girls drawn by the character designer all look the same. If they all had black hair, it would be hard to tell who was who. So they were specially divided into these hair colors?

In fact, it seems that judging personality by hair color has been around for 20 years, right?

It seems that it is time for the era of "colorless" hair, and baldness will rule us next...

This makes it even harder to tell who is who!

Isn't this a good thing? From now on, just watching one work is equivalent to watching the entire genre, which can save a lot of time.

It can be seen that Japanese netizens have become a little powerless to complain about this phenomenon. We have said before that many light novels in Japan have similar plots and settings, which is also a drawback of commercialization. As more and more light novels are adapted into animations, these problems are slowly exposed. If the industry still does not pay attention to these situations, then as netizens said, in the future we can only identify various girls by their hair color...
