Can't be bothered to remember everyone in a show with Loads and Loads of Characters? Neither can some writers. The best solution is to split the cast into distinct groups. This allows for enough characterization, because we always see them together and that's enough net personality for characters whose physical descriptions are probably longer than those of their personalities. Examples of Cast Herd include:

This allows for enough characterization, because we always see them together and that's enough net personality for characters whose physical descriptions are probably longer than those of their personalities. This can be really obvious when you notice that with the exception of perhaps the main Cast Herd, all the others Herd Leaders only talk to their own herd, or other Herd Leaders; A huge amount of the people are never given casual conversation. If you can't quite tell who the spokesman of a Cast Herd is, imagine it in terms of screentime value. Only a Cast Herd's spokesman would probably appear in the Non-Serial Movie or OAV. Shows which allow for the format of a literal team will always use this trope. See also Geodesic Cast which repeats the structure of the main character's group and Planet of Hats when this is done with entire worlds/species. Examples of Cast Herd include:
