''Stereotypes'' indicates that there are many characters with known and stereotypical personalities in the anime, e.g. there is the klutz, the quiet girl, the intellectual girl with glasses, the rich arrogant girl, etc. Generally this is seen in bishoujo (harem) anime to satisfy fetishes, but not always so.
