Anime cliches you're sick of!

-silver haired pretty boy who'se supposed to be a fagg0t but the women love him anyway
-the guy in the glasses/shades who adjusts them before saying anything cool
-the two friends who just step outside the closet and just admit that they are gay (Mido Ban and Ginji come to mind)
-the super cutesy chick who needs to grow up
-the funny guy always eats a lot and really fast (stopped being funny in the 80's)
-anytime the hero looks like he's sacrificing his own wellbeing for others...and then turns around and says "don't get me wrong...i'm doing it for myself!"

what else?

- mecha genres is all about war
- 1 episode 1 enemy

1. Big boobed chicks.

2. Girls who's voices are so soft and have so much fear in them that they sound like they're under oxygenated/girls who gasp before and after every word. (Hinata, Orihime).

Orihime dissuaded me from watching the Bleach anime at all.

3. When in a fight the two warriors stand in one spot for ten minutes and look at each other, sweating.

good one! yeah they need to stop that shite 😂

here are some more...
-at really tense scenes, you can't see the character's eyes as he's about to do something cool (or what japanese consider cool anyway)
-some japanese jackass trying to speak english to look cool when we all know they shouldn't try to
-when someone's about to do a new move, they will zoom on everyone and they will all say "that...." "that is..." "that can't be....." "t-that..."
-when the writers can't tell the difference between being best friends and being bumchums
-the funny guy always has a big mouth and yells...and is most likely from Osaka
-a 14 yo girl has **** bigger than melons
-panty flashes
-the silent guy who thinks saying "hmph" with a smile is very cool
-the above with the a)eyes not showing b)the glasses shining so you can't see his eyes c) or his hat covering his eyes
-people who go into contortions to shoot a round...when it can all be done pretty simply and more accurately in a normal way
-the "cool" guys walks hunched over

The reasons stated in this thread are mainly why I stopped watching most Anime and stick to Manga.

Insanely shy characters are always boring, not to mind those who eat inhuman amounts of food. You said it hasn't been funny since the 80s? I don 't recall anyone laughing back then either haermm

Last second saves.

Characters suddenly "falling down" whenever a funny/embarrassing moment occurs, or maybe that's just in the shows I've watched. ermm

Bloody noses at perverted things.

yeah probably 😂

there's also the star shaped eyes.

no it happens often. way too often.

one of the cliches i REALLY hate is when a person smiles with his eyes closed. when does anyone ever smile like that?

oh and one of the recent cliches that have come up is the guy walking in a bar and ordering something ridiculous (milk, strawberry sundae etc)

These aren't all cliche's that have been listed, just characteristics of anime mhmm

Amnesia always ALWAYS pisses me off. In anime or not.

1.When people get angry, their eyes grow big, they grow what appears to be fangs, and flames coming out of their ears or nostrils. We get that they're angry, no need to put so much **** to show it.

2.Big hair

3.Creatures that talk by saying their names (for god sakes pokemon shut up).

When a character takes 10 hours to start an attack, and the other character/s is just standing there going "ZOMG IS YOU JAYSUS?"

Alternate futures where everybody dies, not really an anime only thing. But, it's the most abused plot device in fiction IMO.

rotflmao funny replies

yeah, closing eyes when smiling or happy, so cute! lol

im sick of Naruto

Emo emotionless characters(Sasuke)
Fillers
The girls who always hit the main character for no reason(Sakura)

The emo kid who is always whining, complaining, and being a general dick to everyone despite several people in the show having it worse than he did, and is so pathetic and b!tchy he loses all traces of his heterosexuality.

Androgenous villains.

People walking around, and doing things with closed eyes. Even if one of my favorite characters from Prince of Tennis and Samurai Deeper Kyo do it.

-That the pretty girls(usually when they first pop up in a manga chapter) always are standing on one foot like a damn flamingo.
-When stare offs in any fight.
-Whatever the hell you call Bobobo-bobobobobo.
-Characters who look like skeletons wearing Prada, yet are freakishly fast and/or strong.
-Impossibily buff characters(what there's no such thing as average?)
-"I believe in you! Don't give up!" moments.
