Types of anime - Part II

Keitaro Urashima - Wants to get into Tokyo University

Keitaro Urashima when he was four years old made a promise to a girl to meet her in Tokyo University. Now 19 years of age, he finds himself waiting to retake the exam for the third time, having failed to get in for the second year running. We watch as he tries to study to get in there. One more point, he's living in a girls dormitory, leading to many funny problems with the residents.

Tenchi Masaki - Simply wants to survive the girls Tenchi Masaki is just an ordinary Tokyo schoolboy, when in his usual summer vacation in Okayama, working in his grandfathers shrine, he unleashes an ancient demon from a cave. He eventually subdues her with a mysterious sword his family has had for generations. Following that, several new female visitors enter their household, and he has to look after them all to prevent them fighting, and getting to grips with his new found power. What he doesn't realise is they all like him and choose to stay because of him.
Shinji Ikari - A troubled boy, who has low self-esteem and no confidence in his abilities

Shinji Ikari lives in a world devastated by a meteor impact, called the Second Impact. He's been called to Tokyo-3 by his father who he hasn't seen in many years. He's been employed by NERV to destroy an enemy known as the Angels, and he's been assigned to pilot a giant mecha. From the start he despises his job, and we view his inner turmoil, and those around him, as the series progresses to the final conclusion.

Son Goku - A young carefree boy who becomes the strongest warrior in the universe Son Goku's tale is one that has spanned three series, 508 episodes long in total, with 18 movies, as we watch him grow up from a young boy searching for seven Dragonballs which could grant any wish, to destroying evil empires, killing aliens from other planets, saving the Earth many times and even the entire galaxy eventually. His power increases exponentially as he learns about his origins, becoming a better fighter.
