| Superdeformed - cliche of anime and manga |
|
Superdeformed, or Chibi, is a clichι
of
anime and
manga, in which characters will become small and chubby, with deformed
limbs and oversized heads, in order to express intense emotion, especially
in the cases of anger or surprise. It is used for comedic effect in show
such as
Dragon Half and
Magic Knight Rayearth, and some series have entire Superdeformed
parody series running alongside the main series (Gundam).
