So, OP: What are your suggestions for making them act more like stereotypical male Japanese teenagers? Because see, I don't know any large groups of male Japanese teenagers and so I don't really know how they are supposed to act? "Not like that" isn't really very detailed information. While I agree that their behaviour isn't exactly stereotypically male, I'm not exactly sure what's supposed to be so particularly female about it? At least in the realm of anime personality traits, they always read fairly... neutral to me.

They called each other 'chan', this isn't something boys usually do, it's more a girls thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah well yes, I remember that. Although I always thought it was at least partly an inside joke by Nagisa based on the fact that they knew each other since they were pretty young?

[(Anonymous)]

If I remember correctly, only Nagisa called *everyone* "-chan" as a child and now.
Makoto called Haruka "Haru-chan" as a child and they've known each other since before kindergarten. As a teenager, he only did it in the first episode (which was probably meant as a callback) and never again after.
No one else does.

That and a lot of the characters are not exactly happy with Nagisa chan-ing them all the time? So it's not like they all go into super-moe-chan-girlfriend-mode all the time...

[(Anonymous)]

Technically, even if he's known them since elementary, it's still kind of weird that Nagisa "-chan"s the other boys because they're all a year older than him. The fact that Nagisa appends "-chan" the moment he sees Rei's given name (deciding in that moment that Rei, a boy with a girly name, is destined to be in the swim club) where seconds before he said "Ryuugazaki-kun" definitely makes it a moe quirk.

[(Anonymous)]

That is Nagisa teasing them. Children do call each other -chan, and they've known each other since they were small. It isn't unusual. Nagisa is moe and carries it through, but that's his personality - and not really representative of the other boys.

I dunno what real Japanese guys call each other, but I've seen more anime guys using -chan, even tough-guy characters (like the bikers in Gantz). It might not be common but I don't think it's that strange.

[glo_unit]

It may be a joke thing too, since most of the male characters have feminine names.

[takaraikarin]

Some guys gets called 'chan'. It's a term of endearment. I've mentioned above, but guys like the one in my icon gets called that all the time.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who lives in Japan, you are full of shit. Guys do it all the time; it's a CUTE thing, a CLOSE/AFFECTIONATE thing, not a girly thing.
