| while im not opposed to fanservice it is a problem when its the only thing a show has when people beat around the bush in a romance anime and dont get to confessing till the last episode predictability is sometimes annoying the thing i hate most is when shows end too soon, sometimes i just cant get enough of certain characters or shows for that matter.It pains me when these shows only have 12 episodes or cant get more than 1 season (chihayafuru might be an example of this) |
| Fanservice is a big one. If it's done right then obviously I don't mind it. But when it's hidden into action anime and shown at all the wrong times, it gets very annoying. Another is cliches, particularly romance cliches. I don't dislike cliches as much as I do fanservice because, let's face it, almost every anime is going to have them. But they're still a pain. Guys walking in on girls in the shower, getting slapped, apathetic main characters(?), seeing love interest with another girl (or boy) and getting the wrong idea, etc, etc. |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| Those EXTREMELY, WHITE BRIGHT LIGHTS!!! Damn it! I'm going blind Censors take note |
| The whole harem thing, while entertaining, is pretty ridiculous sometimes. How most MCs always have some grand weird revelation. A good example would be when a male MC declares his love for some chick completely out of nowhere. |
| Lemme smang it girl. |

Fan service should be for animes which are made for that -.- These days I really don't like the fan service in Guilty Crown. I really find it annoying. |

| I pick my animes carefully and I hardly ever get terribly dissatisfied about it.. But there is one small thing that really pisses me off in about most anime... The fact that about 99.9% of animes I watched have official pairings which includes the female being older than the male.. I mean seriously,why are the manga/anime creators are soo interested in making the male character interested in older women.. Its just my opinion but you can't deny the fact that alot of the animes nowadays makes the girl older than the guy in their romantic relationship. Not that im against it,but its just irritating.. |

That's funny because other people remark about how lolicons and pedos are in every anime. Man, if only someone would organize a meeting of Exaggerators Anonymous to keep everyone on the same page. |

big boobs... it is very very hard to take a character seriously when their jugs are bigger than their head... |
| Incest... which is ironic because I'm watching an anime with incest in it. The parts without it are nice though... |
 |
| Sometimes the main characters or generaly characters are screaming and yelling like hell... but i can put up with it :P |
| Gore, Blood, "infections". |
 |
| The endless fillers and flashback/recap episodes. |
 |
| When they try to make the animation high tech or 3D and I'm like ...don't do that. |
curiouser and curiouser :) |
| I really fucking hate that nose bleed when some dude get's a boner. It's the worst thing in anime ever. This make's me hate latest one piece episode's because of that damn Sanji. Edit: Forgot to add "in my opinion" |

Edit: Forgot to add "in my opinion" Except nose bleeds don't mean the character has a boner. It's used to indicate sexual arousal(boner not required). It's a cultural thing. |

| A lot of anime needs to find some better sources of conflict. There are way too many conflicts that arise simply from a lack of communication that is either really stupid on the parts of the parties involved or simply unrealistic. Sure, arguments do generally stem from misunderstandings, but to have whole episodes or plot arcs based on something like this is... unfortunate and ultimately frustrating. Examples that come to mind: Basically all of Toradora!, but especially Ep. 12 when Minorin and Ryuuji fail to communicate to each other concerning their differences in opinion about Taiga's dad. In particular, Minorin should have told him about what had happened before since that's the piece of information that would basically resolve the issue. Ryuuji also should have listened to her considering that she's known Taiga longer than he has and that she clearly has some knowledge he doesn't and is not just acting like she is in order to screw with Taiga. Also, Index Ep. 12: sure, getting shocked over and over and calling Misaka's bluff is gutsy and certainly makes a point, but in the end all it did was to buy time for him to figure out what his proposal would be. Either think faster or at least try to explain yourself using some words. The situation felt way too contrived and unnecessary. |

A lot of anime needs to find some better sources of conflict. There's no way to do that. The anime that are already created aren't going to be remade with some new conflicts that appease you and the anime that are still in the mind's of their creators are going to have conflicts their creators want, not you. |

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. This thread is for listing things that "you generally dislike about anime." When I say that anime needs to find better sources of conflict, I don't mean that the creators should go back and change things. I mean that contrived sources of conflict bother me, i.e. it is something that I generally dislike about anime since it is annoyingly common. I find this to be a very reasonable opinion to hold. |

And I was just saying maybe you should keep your personal dislike personal instead of implying anime creators need to or should abide by your preferences. It's not really reasonable. You've taken proven sources of conflict and labeled negatively just because you dislike them and want anime creators to dream up new sources. That just being new for the sake of being new things which is short-sighted, fickle, and ignorant of the need to make relateable subject matter. |

| Too much modern Japanese weird culture. I love the ideals and philosophies of old Japan, but post WW2 Japan can get weird. Sticking tongue out and licking is kinda annoying. Weird Anime IE reason why there are so many weird Anime fans that are socially awkward and the image that they create for the rest of the fans. School girls, over the top anime art you see in these school girl anime, and WAY WAY too much borderline Pedophilia. Too much fanservice. It can be ok in moderation, but other times it takes away from the seriousness of a situation or show. Trying to somehow involve Japan into everything. I completely understand why for obvious reasons. Japanese overstereotyping other cultures. You will see a Japanese person in anime with blonde hair and blue eyes and they basically look like a stylized White person, but then in the same Anime you see a Chinese person wearing 2nd century gowns with traditional makeup/over the top accents. You see Japanese/Europeans looking one way in some of these Anime, but every other culture can look completely different which can have many different hidden meanings. Look at Code Geass. Kururugi is supposed to be Japanese? LeLouch, while supposedly 100% Britannian(british) ends up looking super Japanese and he is the main character. Yet, the Indian scientist in that anime and certain other cultures are made to look distinctly different. |
 |
| I also hate it when Japanese animation is too Japanese and it sucks when those damn Japanese don't place my cultural norms on a pedestal. Those bitches need to use knives and forks, Toriko has it right. |

Anime_Name said: And I was just saying maybe you should keep your personal dislike personal instead of implying anime creators need to or should abide by your preferences. I would agree with this in almost all occasions... except for when the thread is explicitly asking for my personal dislikes. How about this? If you want me to keep my opinions to myself, keep yours to yourself as well. On the other hand, if you want to explain to me why I am wrong to dislike certain types of conflict in anime, not on the merit of the conflict itself, but because of some technicality in how I phrased things, then I would like to kindly point out that you are full of bullshit. When I say "a lot of anime needs to find better sources of conflict," it is the same as saying "I dislike some of the conflicts that don't work so well in a lot of anime." Nothing pretentious about that - it's just my personal opinion as you've kindly pointed out. I don't think that anime creators have any trouble with dreaming up new sources of conflict. In fact, they don't even have to be new - I enjoy conflicts that have been done many times before if they work well. Please note that the two examples I have come up with come from my second favorite anime series and the parent series of my favorite anime series. In other words, I enjoyed what the anime creators have come up with, both new and "proven." However, I was less than satisfied with those specific examples, not because they were not new enough for me, but because they felt contrived. I was frustrated when I watched those scenes, and I think that I am following in the spirit of this thread in explaining some of that frustration. If you really enjoyed those specific scenes, do tell what made them so great for you. Otherwise, please re-read the topic of this thread and understand that I was following directions, innocently putting my opinion out there when I was attacked for no reason other than the first sentence of my post which was only phrased in the way it was for rhetorical effect. |

I would agree with this in almost all occasions... except for when the thread is explicitly asking for my personal dislikes. 'So are you implying that you are incapable of expressing personal opinion without also saying that whatever you dislike needs to change? How about this? If you want me to keep my opinions to myself, keep yours to yourself as well. I don't have your disability. I dislike chocolate cake but I don't want my bakery to stop making or change it's chocolate cakes because I am able to find cakes I do like and am capable of understanding my dislike doesn't indicate a fundamental failing of chocolate cakes that must be addressed. I can apply that to anime aswell. Anything I dislike is just that and the only change that needs to be done is me changing the channel/stream/disc to something that I prefer. |

| Let's go bowling. |
| @AbstractCalamity I thank you for the epic nostalgia trip that video just gave me as I identified quite a few scenes from openings in there. I am sick of seeing animes like ikkitousen which revolve around massive fanservice. Everything in moderation. |
| I simply hate it when the girl in the anime cries all the time. And then the guy is all ''I'll protect you'' and stuff. Then they fall in love, and the girl keeps crying. |
 |
| Characters that gave up their humanity and morality just for sake of viewers' entertainment, I mean yandere. |
| --- |
| i hate it when main char is stupid |
| I find girls getting treated like spoilt toddlers tiresome at times... She gets upset way too easy and if she isn't obnoxiously bashful, she takes violent tantrums - there's no attempt to reason with her and when she turns on the waterworks, the guy must be 'the one to protect her'; resolve her problems and mollycoddle wheather or not she' one in the right. Using moe and tsundere is fine, but when she becomes the guys responsability it lowers the tone and brings down both characters. If 'pet girlfriend' was listed in a series tags, I'd avoid (but that would spoil the series for some). |
 |
| Too much s**tload of fan services |
 |
| when the main character is stupid (which most animes especially harems suffer) and harems alway suffer the main girl always win 90% of the time (ichigo 100% is an exception) and sometimes the main girl is usually too needy or really boring sterotypical need a prince to save her |
| Pretty sure I posted here before, but whatever... Anyway, confessions sometimes make me wanna smack my head into a wall. Like when one person is all like, "I...I like you..." the other person kinda stands there to think, and not even five minutes later we hear, "I've loved you for the longest time too! I've always loved you!" But there's no real development between them either, so it makes it that much more unbelievable. |
| Things I dislike about anime? That eventually has to end no matter how long it lasts it eventually ends. Like it did with bleach and dragonball |
  |
| the 20 min ep's. they should make it longer to like 30 min each. and also how they always have a cliffhanger ending at the end of each ep.. its not like im not gonna come back if "1" ep has a bad ending... |

| Hmm making men look like women... anime has seriously made me confused as to whether it is a male or a female, now luckily lately I've been choosing my anime carefully and don't bump into such things.The men are men and the women, women. But damn, I once watched Kinos Journey and was baffled as to whether Kino was a boy or a girl, then is when i was like "oh shit, what is wrong with me?" xD I know Japan has a thing for guys that look like girls but half the time it's just annoying because it's always so damn confusing, if both have short hair and wear neutral clothing I'm confused xD Oh, and that thing with the glasses, you know when the character lifts a finger and pushes the glasses back, the frames becoming blurry sometimes, gets into a quite serious mode. Lol, I dunno if I made myself clear but I see that almost everywhere when there is a characters that wear glasses. Wtf? |

| Disclaimer: Not all anime fit these descriptives 1) Weak male or female main protagonists (overly shy, avoids confrontations at all costs) 2) Anime that start going downhill halfway through as if a different writer took the wheel (ex. Demon King Daimao ep 6 and on, FMA) 3) Anime that trip on the finish line. A series you follow from episode one and the ending is so atrocious it pisses you off (ex. Rosario + Vampire, Yuyu Hakusho) 4) When anime stories just become completely convoluted as if the writers have no idea where the story should go next (ex. Shuffle, Full Metal Alchemist, Evangelion, Queen's Blade) Few of the issues I see in several anime |

| Reset button endings (I'm looking at you, KEY) Cheesy male leads that overcome all odds with determination alone (Shounen) Anime that try to be 'mindfuck' Good always winning Rie as a tsundere character |
| how it sometimes exaggerates life. |
| don't save her, she don't wanna be saved. |
| Probably how most animes are really short and end usually during the 12th or 24th episode. & how a lot of them have an unclear ending. :C |
