| High school garbage. You'd easily think that anime, a medium aimed at youth would be about anything but schools and otherwise sterile urban things. You'd also be thinking wrong. I'm convinced that it is some sort of propaganda. Also harems, comedies. You know the drill. |

| This is probably a more rare personal preference, but when a major character is a huge influence in the show, and I can't stand them, I won't be able to stand watching the anime, even if everything else about it is good. It's all right if it's a side character, but some major characters in some anime are so all-encompassing and irritating that I will just give up on the anime completely. |
 |
| Re-cap episodes, but that isn't specific to anime When they kill off my favourite character. it happens a lot, I'm thinking it's a conspiracy Reverse Harems Cliches like 'Haruhi is Haruhi' that in particular irritates me |
-Solo said: recheebts said: Willhelmina from Shakugan no Shana ending every one of her sentences with "de-arimasu". It was never funny and it never will be. That annoyed me too. But it was never supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be unique to her character, just like how Naruto says "dattebayo" a lot. The worst part is the SS-Eclipse subs decided to sub this everytime it was said. Made me notice it and made me hate it. It didn't make her unique at all, either. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| The fans who complain constantly about well established genres and common themes in anime. It's hard to understand why they even continue watching. |
gosimmons said: Eirikz said: The main character being a loser who doesn't have the guts to pull the trigger of a gun, or hurt kill people in general. I wouldn't say reluctance to kill is always an automatic red flag, but I can think of several protagonists that profess pacifism to the point of infuriating. (I'm looking at you Vash) I have to disagree about Vash. He actually had a reason for being a pacifist. Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin is a similar case, where an adult that's experienced a lot of hardship makes a mature decision to not take a life. On the other hand, a lot of other characters that refuse to kill merely do so because they're young. What really bothers me are characters that would normally be willing to kill, but arbitrarily decide not to, as though the squeamishness of the more merciful characters have infected them. |
| Sincerely, (and possibly, with much ferocity), zoroken |
| I don't know...maybe the fact that almost no anime has a real ending...almost everytime I wonder what will happen next and am forced to read the manga which sometimes isn't even far enough. Second would be the whole love situation...I really don't like it if right from episode 1 you know that two characters love each other, but in the whole show they never confess or stuff like that. |
 |
| I'm getting tired of all these series where girls meet the MC by "falling out of the sky" and end up living with him. Do the authors have no better way to introduce female characters. |

| Horrible script writing. Nothing takes me out of a show like unnatural dialogue. |
| Fillers and incest. Yup... |
 |
| Re-cap episodes Blushing Romance when it was unnecessary/didn't want it High-pitched female voices OP's that contain spoilers I'm going to shut up now before I post a long list. |

| Fillers and rushed stories. Also, fans that say that an anime sucks without a viable reason. |
Xtc said: Fillers and rushed stories. Also, fans that say that an anime sucks without a viable reason. Gawd I hate fillers -___- and rushed stories. The only anime I say sucks, is Persona 4. Sure, I've only watched 5 episodes, but comparing it to the game? God, it's dreadful. |
 |
| Surprised nobody hasn't mentioned this already. One of my pet hates with some anime is a generally dislikeable cast. Wherein none of the cast be it main, support or miscellaneous characters warm up to me at all or spark my interest in how the rest of their character may develop. |
 |
| romance anime having a "magical girl" episode. and "The REAL fight starts now!" and Recap episodes and many more that i can't think of on top of my head. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |

Wherein none of the cast be it main, support or miscellaneous characters warm up to me at all or spark my interest in how the rest of their character may develop. Because that's a rare occurrence. That only happens when a writer willfully makes a cast full of dislikable characters like School Days, Gilgamesh, and White Album, at which point is arguable that those characters are what drives the store. The other time the majority of the cast is dislikable is when someone confuses not liking characters with said characters being dislikable. |

| I hate the handful of shota animes like Mamoru-kun and Kanokon that have a young prepubescent boy and a teenage girl as the main couple. They feel so wrong to me, I can never enjoy these kinds of shows. I can take yaoi, yuri, lolicons, ecchi or anything else fine but can't stand shota |

So give me a moment, I'm busy thinking about cake. |
| @Stark700: Agreed. Fillers -_- awful... I know sometimes they need to put in episodes that aren't about the main story....which is ok...but it makes the anime longer *sigh* Then again it does add new characters into those few fillers, but then we never see them again >.< |

| I'm not sure if someone else posted this, but in almost every anime the villain is a super over powered, meglomanical, highly insensitive, manipulative and disrespectful prick who loves to remind the antagonist(s) of how helpless they are before his awesome might and how only he is fit to rule/poses said power/or whatever. It's cliche to the point of irritation and frankly, its kinda one sided and two dimensional. |
| Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again. Evelyn Underhill |
| I'm sure its been posted, but it gets on my nerves when a new student(usually a girl) walks into class and everyone is like "she's so pretty!" even though she doesn't look much different from all the similarly drawn classmates/characters. |

The main villain won't be very effective for the plot if it doesn't have some combination of those traits you call irritating and cliche. What do you propose as an alternative for stories that use villains and heroes? Is it also cliche for anime to have people walk upright and talk out of their mouths? |

| Sigh...you seem to like just disagreeing with people for the sake of it it seems. Perhaps you share those same traits with said characters and are merely a one dimensional being yourself. And to answer your question, I'd like to see a little more realism, as it were. Cause "evil" people are rarely evil to that point. They are a mix of good and evil. Grey, like most things truly are. Sorry your view of the world is so black and white, I feel sad for you. |

My view of the world has nothing to do with it and if it did you'd have to prove that the powers that be are not and have never been megalomaniacs, manipulative, and insensitive. That sir, would be quite the feat. But even with all those traits the villains that have them in stories are rarely completely evil, unless you're referring to simple villians from Disney films. In anime however, villains typically are morally grey. Fictional stories are not realistic. You simply can't have a story about super-powered individuals and have the main villain be weaker in power or resources than the main hero. There would be no conflict as the hero could remove whatever threat that villain posed without effort, kind of like Superman vs random-thug-on-the-street. |

| Fillers. And a lot of ecchi. |
"People fall in love with a person, not a gender." |
| Fillers. Not unless they're short (1-3 episodes) and are actually entertaining. Then they're okay. But fillers that drag on forever is... blagh. I'm also cool with most ecchi, but I can't stand excessive censoring. Trust me when I say I'm not watching for the mosaics. DrRatekkusu said: Fights where the combatants feel compelled to describe their powers. Kill each other already, jeez. Nope, that'd be too easy. They have to describe every little detail. Villains are especially compelled to describe, after all they can't lose. So they might as well tell the heroes or let them figure out their super-powered flaw. After all they can't lose. /sarcasm. |

This is an excellent thread on what not to do 95% of the time if you want to stay original Nobody is trying to stay original. The people that make anime/manga were inspired to do so by anime/manga they saw as kids and they pay tribute to stories of the past with things like homages and using various ideas from those older shows. ofc doing that causes "cliche" topics like this from the peanut gallery. |

Anime_Name said: plus, at this point in time, nothing is truly original - everything comes from something else via inspiration or downright exploitation - the nature of art/music/anime/fashion and everything else...so why not just enjoy what you enjoy and not pick everything to pieces? the key to great anime/manga is creating a truly moving and well written story line....This is an excellent thread on what not to do 95% of the time if you want to stay original Nobody is trying to stay original.

You're pretty much spot-on with Anime Name. He does seem to just go around to topics for the sake of disagreeing. It's a form of trolling, especially in a topic like this which is everyone simply stating their opinions and since we're all human, we are not all going to have the same view points. |

You can disagree with opinions bro. However calling people names and insulting me is a form of saying you have more right to state your opinion than I do. Not having the same viewpoints means disagree from time to time. |

I would agree with you on this if this was a thread in which that made sense, but you're going and telling people "Your opinion is wrong". This thread was made for people to express what THEY PERSONALLY do not like in anime. Like, what THEY avoid. So it's personal, you can't say that someone is wrong for disliking certain elements of a series. I also was not calling you names. I said you were trolling, which seems to be the case. |

I asked the person I quoted how can a writer make a story with heroes and villains without having the main villain being in a more powerful position than the hero. That guy isn't "wrong" for not liking it but I wondered if he was up to the challenge to tell a story that didn't use the cliche he is sick of. I never said he should feel that way or he should watch more of the crap he doesn't like. You've missed the entire point of comments by not even thinking about the questions I raise. Being personal doesn't make an irrational opinion from being any less irrational. |
