Figured I'd make another version of this thread. What are some common tropes, cliches, or other frequent occurrences in anime that get on your nerves? Mine are as follows:
-Dense male lead who somehow ends up with 3 school girls around his chabudai every meal (shiro, kohta)
-Character who's incredibly annoying or useless but made to be a fanservice magnet to compensate (yoshida)
-Character runs out the house with toast in mouth when they're late (daisuke)
-Amnesiac tsundere who doesn't change overtime and forgets the calm, caring moments (louise, kaname)
-Their masochistic male counterparts who continue to take beatings from them (saito). One reason I leally liked Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma was because he didn't take shit from anyone.
-(not really a trope) but characters with nasally voices (except youhei from Clannad)
-"monster of the week"
-all the girls in the cast have really high pitched voices
-excessive use of lateral camera panning
-when they put 2 or more subtitles on the screen and expect us to read them both in a split second, much less know who's saying what since they all sound the same
-When VAs change between dubs
-When the show is supposed to be having an emotional moment but the music during or after ruins the mood
I'll add more later.
