Romantic Comedy
Romantic comedy (also known as romcom or rom-com) is a subgenre of comedy and slice of life fiction, focusing on lighthearted, humorous plot lines centered on romantic ideas, such as how true love is able to surmount most obstacles. In a typical romantic comedy, the two lovers tend to be young, likeable, and seemingly meant for each other, yet they are kept apart by some complicating circumstance (e.g., class differences, parental interference, a previous girlfriend or boyfriend) until, surmounting all obstacles, they are finally united. A fairy-tale-style happy ending is a typical feature. Romantic comedy films are a certain genre of comedy films as well as of romance films, and may also have elements of screwball comedies.

Kensuke Aida
The Japanese anime television series ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' has an extensive cast of characters that were created by Gainax. The show's protagonist is Shinji Ikari, a teenage boy whose father Gendo recruits him to the shadowy organization Nerv to pilot a giant, bio-machine mecha named " Evangelion", which goes into combat with beings known as "Angels". The character designs were drawn by artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, who designed each character to easily be identified from its silhouette. The personalities were based on that of Hideaki Anno, the show's director and main scriptwriter. Many of the heroes in the second half of the series suffer trauma or physical violence, exacerbating their anxieties and fears, and the episodes give ample space to their inner monologues, with which they question the meanings of their actions and lives. This narrative choice culminates in the two final episodes, whose narrative pivot on Shinji's streams of consciousness; the finale, however ...
