Comic Relief: The main problem with this tag is that it can be very subjective. Comic
Relief characters should be those whose entire presence is essentially
to provide humour. Often they will be the butt of everyone’s jokes, the
one that everyone picks on for a laugh and their role outside of comedy
content would probably be either very limited or non-existent. It’s
unlikely that any ‘Main’ characters would get this tag, as they often
serve more purpose than just being “the funny one” – but that isn’t to
say it’s impossible, likewise I wouldn’t expect to see ANY characters
from a full-on comedy series getting this tag, since it’s expected that
people are supposed to be funny. Having a comic relief character in a
comedy series IMO shows an epic fail on the part of the anime.
The best example I can think of for a comic relief character is Kon from Bleach.
He is ridiculed a hell of a lot – firstly by being in plus lion form,
and then by often being beaten up, trodden on or forced to wear frilly
pink clothes by Ichigo’s sister. Outside of this his role is that of a
glorified babysitter for Ichigo’s body, he doesn’t fight or really play
much part at all. Basically unless Tite Kubo decides to suddenly make
him the messiah that will save everyone from total destruction (at which
point I will seriously give up on Bleach on the basis of it’s creator
having lost his freaking mind) then Kon really is the ideal candidate
for the comic relief tag.
I was thinking about posting this on those submissions but people get weird about revealing certain things to the public. anyway I hope you know I wasn't trying to be a dick. I've just gotten into trouble from time to time by adding based on assumptions, and close enough tags. I did that with the Angel Beats! entry and sothis basically ripped me a new one. so I'm just trying to be careful to do as she, and the other old school mods have decided.
