Anime Tropes etc. website

I have no idea how good or accurate this site is, but it's pretty entertaining, and of course most of it is valid (or invalid, as the case may be) for manga as well. You can find entries for things like the ever-popular paper fan of doom (wielded with such authority by Sanzo in Saiyuki, among others), individual shows (including Fruits Basket and Bleach) - with notes about which tropes each includes- , and character types, like the Wrench Wench and the Idiot from Osaka.

It's also a Wiki, so if you're into that, you can help build it better, deeper, and more complete.

I've spent most of yesterday evening and today just surfing the site, reliving classic scenes from favorite shows.

Hee ... these days, I hardly watch TV at all, but I used to watch it all the time, including while doing my homework in high school ... . And the anime stuff on the site has been very entertaining. (I need to make an icon that says something like "Manga saved my sanity" because it's been such a welcome distraction recently.)
