GURREN LAGANN GOT 100! BEAT THAT!

Define "important characters," and how many is too much characters?

you should know...
characters that are actually related to the story

and too many characters.... that depends...
they could introduce a lot of characters, but they all get = screen time balancing it out
think naruto or dbz too many characters
they have so many characters, that they abandon them and get left behind in the dust...

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM THE MOTHERF***ING GURREN LAGANN!

Gundam Seed/Destiny scored: 60 +/- 10
Samurai 7 scored: 95 (I have no idea if /a/ talks about it or not so I gave it half the credit.)
Solty Rei scored: 95 (same reason)

You do realize that your test could give a show -145 points right? This test also fails to list positive traits that could give a show a higher score to make up for some of the negative traits already put up.

yes
negative meaning avoid at all cost

positive? nahhhhh
it's enough...
that's pretty much all the elements there are...

Hey, no fair. Infinite Ryvius gets a 60 for too many characters and no deaths. But the +400 characters are justifiedand the fact that nobody dies at the end is more a relief than a cop out. I add 30 points for fairness but keep out 10 for the crappy romance between Juli and Airs Blue and that annoying thirteen year old. (And I don't care if you are from Saturn, who names their kid 'Airs'?)

.................
who names their kid....
*i'll get back to you once i think of a silly animu name*
