So.. if the "majority of anime is simple-minded trash aimed at kids" ... perhaps it would be helpful if MrProphet provided some examples of anime he thinks highly of?
Otherwise, I call troll because you can reduce *any* story or piece of literature to shreds by labeling characters using cardboard archetypes and then making generalized assertions. The four terms you define ("sanguine" ,etc) are fine but they are western based archetypes for western literature. Eastern literature uses different enough archetypes that it is more useful to use eastern terms for them ... otherwise the labels never really fit.
