As noticed in my pages and numerous others, there is a significance placed on the blood type of anime characters. In just about every anime book you can find a section for every character telling their blood type, as it signifies characteristics of that person. After some searching on the net etc., these seem to be the most common explanations of the significance of blood typing (thanks to sushi for Animazement's descriptions):

Type A
Advantages: obedient, careful, sympathetic, empathetic, self-sacrificing, polite, willing to compromise, honest, loyal
Disadvantages: worries a lot, emotional, weak-willed, indecisive, introverted, anti-social, wishy-washy, nervous
Type B
Advantages: cheerful, outgoing, optimistic, adventurous, active, sensitive, kind
Disadvantages: forgetful, undecided, disorganized, noisy, spontaneous, prone to exaggeration
Type AB
Advantages: sensitive, proud, diplomatic, discriminating, easy-going, sympathetic, efficient, learns quickly
Disadvantages: short-tempered, complains, dependent, moody, brooding
Type O
Advantages: confident, strong-willed, judgemental, dedicated, self-deterministic
Disadvantages: workaholic, insecure, emotional, stubborn, uncompromising, cold personality, over-confident, self-centered
