Anime cliches you're sick of!

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Sado22
-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?

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

Final Blaxican
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.

Sado22
good one! yeah they need to stop that shite laughing out loud

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

Kris Blaze
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

Quincy
Last second saves.

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

Kento
Bloody noses at perverted things.

Kirikaze Fuuma
save the world

Sado22
yeah probably laughing out loud


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)

~Sado

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

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

Nemesis X
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).

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

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

GamineChic
rotflmao funny replies

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

im sick of Naruto

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

ThunderGodEneru
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.

Kento
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.

Eman5805
-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.

ThunderGodEneru
...B-but I love the impossibly buff characters.

First_Tsurugi06
-Kids who's voices sound ten to twenty years too old (and vice versa in some cases).

-Suave, silent prettyboys who never take their hands out of their pockets.

-Paint-by-numbers perverts ('cept for Master Roshi, he's got those shades).

-Beautiful/cute/voluptuously built girls with articulate/polite/shy/modest/naive personalities. Like there's such thing as that kind of combination in real life http://images.killermovies.com/forums/icons/v2/icon2.gif (Though I do have like...two exceptions)

-Any kind of time-based crisis scene that involves a few seconds but is played out for a third of the episode.

Indeed. Take for example none other than the Strong Arm Alchemist himself...

Oh, and Broly too.

big juggy man
If its the Manga or Anime neither have real plots. 2nd Villians who kill for no reason like Freeza ( His lowest power level was 530,000 or thousand and the highest Saiyan was maybe 20,000 not to mention they seemed happy killing for him so why blow up their planet out of so called fear? 3rd The perverted old guy. 4th Main characters that rules of the show dont apply too like Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. How could a retarded guy like Naruto learn the Rasengan in 1 month when the 4th Hokage took 3 years to learn. 5th The Mertosexual looking male characters.

You can go on and on how anime/manga suck and how american comics are alot better. Well it is american and made by our people so it must be better

Eman5805
There's a few exceptions. And Mr. Clean Armstrong is one of them.

Of course he's also hilarious. So, I let him slide.

ThunderGodEneru
Not to mention Naruto by this point has obviously proven to be a bona fide genius.

Eman5805
With a mountain load of chakra to pour into each jutsu, which I'm sure helps make up for lack of control...

ThunderGodEneru
Not really, mountains of chakra only made learning Rasengan more difficult.

Eman5805
I was really thinking more of how he uses shadow clones to do everything, but you're still right.

Nemesis X
-"Believe it."
-Gay characters (for the love of god, quit putting people like that in anime/mangas! It's disturbing.)
-Main characters who get their asses beat all the time and manage to beat the bad guy right when the series ends.

big juggy man
You do realized the 4th invented it so of course it took longer...

Do you realize Naruto is the main character of Naruto so the rules dont apply to him? At the point in time eh had poor chakra control was a total idiot and yet every single thing he tries he findse away to do it. Kisame has more chakra than anybody in the Akatsuke but does he have the best Jutsu? No because he isnt the main character.

Kisame has more chakra than anybody in the Akatsuke but does he have the best Jutsu? No because he isnt the main character. You do also realize Naruto never actually COMPLETELY learned the Rasengan and has to use clones for it right under his normal chakra?? And..if you want to compare him to somebody try comparing him learning it so quick to Jiraiya..Not the person who created it. Minato worked out the gimick and perfected it. Of course it would take a little bit to do so.

And Naruto also is a genius at learning moves....Before he had ANY reasonable chakra control, which he learns during the tree climbing thing, he was able to learn a forbidden jutsu in just a day, and use it effectively. And with his bad chakra control ties with Sasuke in the tree climbing thing. Learned Sage Mode and perfected it in just a bit. So...yea he's a genius when it comes to learning moves.

Sado22
-the guy with his eyes permanently closed shut
-anytime a new badguy who is supposed to look all invincible is attacked, but is standing right behind the hero and either says "slow" or says "you must be faster". NOTE: in their next encounter he'll NEVER do that because by then the hero has improved and he's supposed to job now.
-the silent sad biatch who just whines and whines (eg. claymore protagonist)
-the two uneasy allies who just keep saying they'll kill each other after this is done but that never seems to happen.
-the overly long dumbass explanations given for the origin of a sword or any other weapon. almost ALWAYS dumb and stupid.
-hermaphrodites in hentais...............that shite is just wrongno expression

~Sado

Quincy
I always get annoyed at the explainations of their moves. Not so much if it's an observer of a match explaining to someone else, but if like a character shows something new and is like "This is called "blah Blah" and it does this and this and this and this because it has this and this and I know that you were gonna that and this."

-Flat chested useless women. Ya I've had wonder bread slices plumper than some of those girls that get otakus dicks hard. If the chest and ass are that flat , why don't you **** a man ******?


You know what screw this list. If orihime stopped you from watching bleach and you are a male I think you should have your sexually straightened out.

Mido ban and Ginji are not gay those other 2 guys in the show were. Mido ban and Ginji are only gay when you fantasize about them alone in your room while you beat you buffalo to yaoi and gay porn.

Take this in ******* you're watching shows originally made and planned for children if they don't seem realistic go ****ing figure eh?

sounds just like you big grin

I hate the fact when backup non main characters like sakura always end up in a fight with naruto or somebody else but cant do shit cus they suck ass at fighting. If your not gonna help then get the **** away and leave.

Again do you realize Naruto is the Star of the show? How hard is that to get? At the begging of show every single adult character from Kakashi and Jiraya to Orochomaru said Naruto had little real talent at being a ninja? So since the show is called Naruto you know everything he does he will accompish. Again why are you trying to tell me what you think? The question is Annoying Anime Cliches and that is a Cliche, The rules of the show never apply to the Title Characters.

Sado22
as long as the girl's cock isn't bigger than mine, i'm happy laughing out loud
besides, Kitami is cute (especially when she was young). that and the fact that she got to screw Takashiro more than anyone else on the show.
Takashiro love


okay so you ride in your car with your best friend resting his head on your shoulder and know in your heart any time he's hurt and burst into tears if you see him after a few hours? where are you from bub? san fransisco? laughing out loud

Knock that off. We don't tolerate that kind of crap, as I told you in a private message. Consider that a warning.

Oh god can you make one post without sounding so angry?

First of all cool glasses have been done so much that they're not even cool anymore.

Second of all it shouldn't matter if a woman is flat chested or not. Breasts does not make the character, if it does for you then I am sorry. Besides I won't do a man because he lacks the thing I want from a woman when I do "Do" her which is vagina thats why we won't do a man.

If you think only gay people don't like watching Orihime then you have serious problems.

Question: What does it mean to beat you buffalo?

And last but not least you are so wrong. Bleach and Naruto are not intended for children. Considering that so many people die and bleed in that show and the cursing...yeah that wasn't planned for children.

Be level with me, I know you've ****ed a guy in the ass? Maybe it was that Naruto Cosplayer? Or are you more into Sasuke.

Stop stalking my posts, lol I know you're looking for some nice men to talk to online ever since I ditched you @ the kenshiro vs. Konoha thread.

Not really, not really into guys and I definately hate Naruto and the anime. No one is stalking you either, don't be so paranoid my socky friend. I don't think you really ditched me more like that part of the debate just ended.

He got better later on, but I always liked kamina better. Those glasses that katana, that never say die attitude was badass.

SmashBro
I get sick when a young hero, a homegrown nobody, manage to not only hang with more older, experienced and world wide talents of the same field but also manage to actually beat'em somehow (usually with luck).

psycho gundam
un-japanese characteristics on characters that are homegrown full japanese.

if it's explained like the person is half something else, wearing cosmetics, or the character is from another country or something that's fine, but most of the time it's passed off as the usual and sticks out like a sore thumb.

Nemesis X
-anything you see in Shin Chan, you're sick of it already.
-stars popping up in peoples eyes.
-hearts appearing in backgrounds when characters have a "moment".
-videogame based animes that go from good to bad (DMC I'm lookin at you).
-there's too much romance mangas (love is so old when you read that crap).

Off-kilter
Ahh the usual
-Mecha/military animes in where the world depends on a handful of children/teenagers. (like Adults dont have the experience?)
- harem animes. They should be obliterated.
-pink haired 'kawaii's, ridiculously proportioned girls with the most minuscule noses and lips that all seem to be bred inferior to males and use their own names instead of 'I'
-Long haired bishounen. I cannot stand a man that has longer hair than me.
-Dramatic dialogue. anywhere, anytime.
eg. "we've got 5 seconds on the clock, let's do this for kei, his life depended on winning and no matter what, no one will win it like us!"
my god, I can't even ATTEMPT to speak like them. it's ridiculous.
-But I take solace in knowing that things like this are Only in anime, and that japanese people are actually quite normal, so I tolerate it all.
-albeit barely.

killermover
Dudes who have the most hype yet suck ass in the long run.

Main Heroes who just have psuedo gay relationships with their rivals or best freinds.

Main characters who have an IQ of 81 but are geniuses of fighting.

Chicks with big boobs, fiesty tempers, and lame ass obvious dialouge.

Nope. I think his losing streak is still ongoing in the manga as well. He graduated top of his class at the Hercules Factory and was thought to be the best of the best, but he is nothing but a jobber.

Sado22
speaking of people who are hyped but suck in the long run......anyone notice that in the anime of Grappler Baki, the aikido dude who wanted a rematch against Yujiro always kept talking about everyone's moves, knew everything about every art known or unknown.............and couldn't even beat a sumo and got eliminated in the 1st round of the tournament. and after all that, he had the nerve to start lecturing everyone again laughing
