The Otaku Spirit Animecast hosts have explored many of the archetypes in anime, but never tackled one in-depth. After some recent discussion about the anime trap, they decided to dive into what it is, why it exists, and talk about some of their favorite characters that have come out of it.
Topics this episode: The Broken Trap Term, Traits, The Draw, History or Origin, Usages In Storytelling, and character breakdowns!
