Anime Cool

''Do you have a character who just isn't awesome enough for you? Anime Cool them to hell with eye-poking hair, Oversized Weapons, and heterochromia!''

Anime Cool is a form of pseudo-coolness in which the actorundefined applies unnecessary or flashy details to a character, item (likely a weapon), or piece of gear in order to make that object more interesting to the audience and more likely to be loved by them. This UnTrash got its name from anime and how its characters, especially guys in the Main Cast, have spiky hair, scars (Bonus Points if the scar is over an eye), eye patches, Oversized Weapons or hair, unnatural hair and eye colors or shapes, body cuts, or other distinguishing bodily features that are intended to make the character they're on more appealing to the audience. Anime Cool also applies to abilities and other traits a character has in their moveset such as Elemental Kinesis, Animal Shape-Shifting (excluding always having animal-like body parts), and Super Strength. Having multiple superpowers at once as well has being capable of using them in extreme ways can lead to the character becoming Powerful Beyond Belief, therefore degrading them to an Extreme Extremity who acts outside of their tier on the Epic Scale and is hard to like as a member of the franchise's cast.

The behaviorism of the applied character can determine if they're Anime Cool. Keh speech is a sure sign of someone being Anime Cool, as well as them being a Badass or Lone Wolf. An Anime Cool character can also be identified by their posture. If they sit with one leg up and another one down or have their arms crossed often, they're likely Anime Cool. A nearly sure sign of the creators trying to make an Anime Cool character is by spiking them with insanity, which is typically reserved for antagonists or lead Villains despite them rarely showing any real signs of being insane.

Anime Cool can be compared to Anime Cute, a form of Tryhard Cuteness that more often applies to female characters.
