The artists of 2ch have risen to the challenge of illustrating their version of some of the most common anime character types, 12 in all, each providing a unique style of art and interpretation of the character template.
A translation of the template for explanatory purposes – the character archetypes should be instantly recognisable to anime and manga fans:
The original:

Number 26 is hands down the best.
The fujoshi in 26 is obviously a reference to Ogiue from Genshiken, so I thought the other ones might be references too... any ideas?
Hakase reminds me of Dr. Wiley. 26 also gets bonus points for the "hohohoho" drill-haired ojou-sama. Fans are also acceptable.
Actually... #26 looks like a tribute to the trollface or 8D, if you ask me.
I liked 15.
i like it as well. creativity and pose stands out.
I laughed so hard when I reached 26...
If you only checked the rori box, please have a seat...
and here i thought i was the only 1
*Shoots himself
rori.. rori.... OH! loli
*sits down*
Sure my friend! :3
There are other boxes?!
loli ftw
Nope, megane and fujoshi here. (Why no love for fujoshi? Afraid they'll try to play out their BL fantasies on you?)
Fujoshi are easy and very interesting in the bedroom. ;)
-seconds- they'll get hot imagining stuff if you simply whisper into their ear.....
I cant control myself anymore after seeing the loli in pic 3.
No, I only check the Megane (girl) one...
.. and the one tagged with ロリ..
Am I the oddball for checking all of boxes?
All the same, so have a seat.
With pleasure :3
*Gladly sits down and wait for a loli to sit on my lap..
I get the feeling people at 2ch are more talented than the ones at 4ch.
Or at least the ones at /b/
/co/ is where all the awesome drawfags live.
Is "fag" a term of endearment now, fag?
Lurk moar
Seriously, newfag, lurk more.
That's general knowledge, obviously.
The ingredients to a guaranteed average cast!
According to 12...
Yaoi fangirl = Golem?
XD

Wow, that fujoshi really is "rotten".
Be careful not to get bitten by a fujoshi, you'll start craving BL.
They draw nice but not to my taste. They really are all normalfags. a shameful display.
I dunno. They all look like 2 minute sketches. I'm pretty sure this is just a statement rather than a specific intent to show off their skills.
If they draw fully with pretty details and colours, I bet you'd end up calling them "Too much time on hands." instead...
Someone took the Kanji to literally...
MY favorite was 12.
025 is a definite furry
I am kissing one with 12x Chuck Norris face...
Missing I meant >_>
ADMIT! Confess what you Wrote!

"MAN" up to yer ID when ya speed typed out ur 'snark'!
Chuck Norris wouldn't back down...
"Chara" isn't BL-type, it's more like.. show-off.
Yeah! What is the stupid reference to BL??? Chara is a show off, main character type.
Sheesh, for a site that is focussing on Japan's anime and manga culture, you sure failed hard.
Something about the last one terrifies me.
Second one looks like it was illustrated by Junji Ito.
Hooray for the raccoon!
Owl, a fujoshi? HOLYCOW
Fat Ojou turns me on
the last is the beste :D
