View Full Version : Girls that trip and fall down on their face the most

I've seen this ditzy female character stereotype several types - the type that can't take too many steps before falling down on their face. The female leads from Air and Kage Kara Mamoru come to mind. I'm sure there are more but can't think of any right now other than Usagi Tsukino (who doesn't really fall down that much).
I'm trying to figure out which female character falls down the most frequently on average per episode. Any thoughts?

hmmm, it does happen often, or so it seems. off the top of my head:

- Excel from Excel Saga
- Kaho from Sister Princess

that's all I got for reoccuring. I think every female anime character falls pretty much at least once.

and that girl from Air, her name is Kamio Misuzu

Akira Miyata (the clumsy redhead) from Pani Poni Dash! is probably pretty high up there. She falls down at least once almost every time she shows up.

First to come to my mind is Minawa from Mahoromatic.

I think he knows that, it's like, his favorite show or nearly so XD He was talking in the plural about multiple of the female leads though.

Sae Sawanoguchi from Magic User's Club falls down quite a bit. Not sure on average per episode... There is one point where she falls over several times in a brief period of time, because she's in such a big rush.

Anyone who's played To Heart 2 knows that Yuma Tonami is the Klutz Queen.

Although she's usually sent to the floor by one of the other characters, Miu from Strawberry Marshmallow spends a decent amount of time with her face plastered against the ground.

How about Kuzuha from I My Me! Strawberry Eggs?

Mihoshi from Tenchi. I did like how she was in the OVA's. She did as amny good thuings as clutzy ones, even if she did not mean to:)

Amelia from Slayers, she grows but not completely out of her cluelessness.

Naga from Slayers, she almost gets it right.

The one girl from Your Under Arrest, I will have to update the name later.

Usagi/Sailor Moon did a fair amount of tripping through the series. /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

Since I was watching Kanon earlier, I'll say Ayu, even though she doesn't technically trip.

Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon and Excel from Excel Saga would be my choices.

Yoriko, maybe? I can't think of anyone else that is clumsy, but she really isn't that much, just seems inept compared to the others.

I'd go with Michelle from ROD TV. A little ditzy, yes, but she fits the bill heh. With Anita taking shots at her, she sees the floor a lot.

Osaka of Azumanga Daioh

Taeko Minazuki from Ai Yori Aoshi is a good candidate.

oh... I got a good one...

Minawa-chan from Mahoromatic ~ Something More Beautiful

I know it's cruel of me, but I LOL so much everytime she trips (which is like 2 or 3 times every episode)... I love her so, heehee

I have a warm spot in my heart for Mihoshi from Tenchi.

Amelia from Slayers started out as a clutz but she improved as the show went on. She even did a tight rope walk in high heals during TRY, nice stunt:)

Sawanoguchi from Magic User's Club is my first choice for this catagory.

Team Rocket should get an honorable meantion though.

We shouldn't forget adorable milquetoast Matsuri Sakuragi from Strawberry Marshmallow!
Obviously, she doesn't run much to begin with; but on the occassions she has tried, it has been nothing but a face-slam fest! XD

That's mostly when she's tied to Chiyo-chan /images/graemlins/wink.gif

...although I wouldn't like to guess how many bad experiences she's had with escalators..

I seem to recall Wendy in the ROD OVAs being clutzy, and that unfortunate secretary-type girl in Elfen Lied.

re-watching Cardcaptor Sakura the other day, I spotted one of these types...

Erica Fontine from Sakura Taisen 3 game, or Sakura Taisen OVA Encole De Paris.

She trips and takes a whole set of outdoor cafe tables with her! XD
