Anime Cute

A kind of Tryhard Cuteness in which the playing character has been made to be overbearingly "cute" with features like big eyes, a soft voice, and either be peppy or reclusive. Many Cute Girls and Lambs may be considered Anime Cute, but not everyone who is Anime Cute is either a Cute Girl or Lamb. Being designed as an Anime Cute character can lead to roles like the Wimp or Useless Secondary that the audience finds as an annoying presence in the franchise who only gets in the way of the Good Guys and story. Characters who are Anime Cute may also end up being Fan Favorites if they're not excessively cute and shallow.

Compare to Anime Cool, a kind of Tryhard Coolness that has has a similar way of making characters, but with that UnTrash, it's to make them cool, not cute.
