Generational Archetypes in Anime
#1
For the sake of brevity, I've included only one character per anime per archetype (ex: for Black Lagoon, I could have also included Dutch as reactive Gen), with a few anime including characters from multiple archetypes.
For the sake of avoiding confusion, I avoided examples that would place generations out of order (ex: Lelouch vs Suzaku in Code Geass seems like Idealist Gen vs Civic Gen, but as they are the same age, this would not make sense).

Idealist
- Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)
- All Might (My Hero Academia)
- Light Yagami (Death Note)
- Hoenheim (Full Metal Alchemist)
- Yahiko Myogin (Rurouni Kenshin)

Reactive
- Yusuke Yurameshi (Yu Yu Hakusho)
- Eraserhead (My Hero Academia)
- Monkey D Luffy (One Piece)
- Bando (Elfen Lied)
- Balalaika (Black Lagoon)
- Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Beebop)
- Kazuma Yagami (Kaze no Stigma)
- Vegeta (Dragonball Z)

Civic
- Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia)
- Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer)
- Rock (Black Lagoon)
- Yuzuru Otonashi (Angel Beats) 
- Tetsuya Kuroko (Kuroko no Basket)


Adaptive 
- Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin)
- Tamaki Suo (Ouran Highschool Host Club)
- Kirito Kiragaya (Sword Art Online)
- Gohan (Dragon Ball Z)
- Shinji Ikari (Evangelion)
- Professor Oak (Pokemon)

honorable mention: Avatar isn't technically an anime, but I think we can solidly place Katara as Civic Gen and Uncle Iroh as Adaptive Gen
