여친님의 소개로 알게 된 홈페이지인데, 한 번 빠지니 도끼자루 썩는 줄을 모르겠네요.

이 곳을 간략하게 소개하자면, 소설/게임/애니/만화 등에 나오는 여러가지 이야기 패턴을 모아 작품소개와 함께 보여주는 형식입니다.  엔하위키와 비슷한 느낌이지만 이야기 구조와 형식을 분석하는 데에 전문화되었다는 느낌입니다.

예를 들어서 '패트레이버'를 검색을 하면.. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Patlabor)

- 패트레이버에 대한 소개
- 리뷰 소개 (있다면)
- 이 작품에 나오는 이야기 형식이나 패턴(Tropes) 소개

가 나옵니다. 이중에서도 tropes 소개가 이 홈페이지의 백미죠.

예를 들어 위에서 검색한 패트레이버의 경우는...

Action Girl: Noah, Kanuka and Takeo—both in and out of a labor. Noah is less a badass out of her labor than in, but she's the only one who can last more than 3 seconds against Takeo in Judo. She lasts 8. And Noah also defeated a crminal who was armed with a knife, she only used her bare hands.

Alternate Continuity: Three of them - the comic; the first OVA and the three movies; and the TV series and second OVA.

Anime Theme Song

Arson Murder And Life Saving

A Simple Plan

Ascended Fangirl: Noa — she joined the police force in the hopes of piloting a Labor because she'd spent her childhood watching Mecha Anime.

As The Good Book Says: The first movie.

Badass:

• Badass Adorable: Noa
• Badass Crew: SV-2. Everyone has a little bit of Badass in one form or another.
• Badass Grandpa: Sakaki. Even the labor pilots fear Sakaki. Considering he's in charge of the mechanics that maintain their machines, their fear is somewhat justified.
• Colonel Badass: Gotoh was "exiled" to the SV.2 because he was such a Badass, HQ didn't want to deal with him ruffling all sorts of feather. Obfuscating Stupidity is his current trademark.

Benevolent Boss: Gotoh, Nagumo.

Berserk Button: Word to the wise - do not insult Shinshi's wife.

• Also somewhat applies to Izumi when Alphonse (her Labor) is damaged.

 

(이하 너무 길어 생략)

이런 식으로 이 작품에 나오는 이야기 형식들을 A~Z까지 소개하고 있습니다. 당연히 각각의 형식은 자세히 소개가 되어 있어 어떤 이야기 흐름에서 나오는가, 유사한 형식은 무엇인가, 어떤 작품에서 사례를 들수 있나.. 이런 식으로 주욱 나옵니다.

예를 들어서 맨 처음 나온 Action Girl을 클릭해보면...

The Action Girl is, essentially, Action Heroism molded into a female frame: a female character who is spunky, agile, and can take you down with an array of kicks, punches, or diverse Weapons Of Choice.

She is not a Distressed Damsel. She doesn't sit around waiting to be rescued. She doesn't only plan how to rescue herself. She doesn't talk/manipulate/charm her way out of problems. She's got physical moves of her own to make, and she's not afraid to use them.

Subtropes of Action Girl:

By age:

• Cute Bruiser: Very young Action Girls who are noted especially for physical strength.
• Little Miss Badass: Very young Action Girls who are notable for skills and abilities other than, or in addition to, physical strength.
• Lady Of War: Adult Action Girls who are noble and graceful.
  • Jeanne d'Archetype: Action girls modelled on Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc).
• Action Mom: Adult, and works with a group of younger people whom she considers her "children" (whether blood-related or not).
  • Pregnant Badass: If she's capable of fighting while pregnant.
• Mama Bear: Adult, and only becomes an Action Girl when her children are threatened. However, sometimes Mama Bear was already an Action Mom, in which case threatening her children is likely an effective form of suicide.
• Never Mess with Granny: Senior citizen; may also be an Old Master.

By preferred weapon or method of fighting:

• Black Magician Girl or Magical Girl Warrior: Prefers magic.
• Girls With Guns: Prefer firearms.
  • Small Girl Big Gun: ... especially big firearms.
• Hot Chick With A Sword: Prefer swords.
• Kick Chick: Prefers to fight unarmed, specifically with her feet rather than her hands.
