They're annoying. Sometimes funny. They're cliches.
Cliches is a thing where a situation becomes overused, that the viewers might think it's too irritating or annoying now. The worst part that it's... EVERYWHERE! Whether it's an unpopular anime or popular anime they're still there. Unless it's a really good anime.
Now.. Let's go to the cliches!

'Accidentally tripped then got into a weird situation with another person'



A perfect example of this is Hayate no Gotoku!.
This is a common happening in some ecchi, harem or romance animes.

The 'overeating character'



Eat. Eat some more. Eat much more.
These characters have a really BIG appetite. It's almost as their stomach is a black hole! Perfect examples of this cliche is Goku from Dragon Ball and Luffy from One Piece.

Only the special kinds of guys get a harem



Ah.. Doesn't this make you jealous if you're a guy? Those special guys always get a harem. Hayate from Hayate no Gotoku! is a special kind of guy who got a harem, he's an unlucky guy and a butler, Raku from Nisekoi is also a special kind of guy, he met all the girls in his harem (well.. Maybe not all of them, considering Onodera's sister.). God, I want to kill all of those guys who has a harem..

The (Super) Dense guy and the Tsunderes



"I-It's not like I like you or anything... Baka."
This dere type has been popular to the anime fans ever since, the tsundere. These tsunderes always been shipped with dense characters. Super dense that they didn't even know his/her feeling! Io and Tsumiki from Acchi Kocchi is a great example. Well, sometimes I always rage and say 'COME ON AND DON'T BE DENSE ANYMORE!!'

Nosebleed



*sees some fanservice*
*nosebleeds*
I-I'm just fine. Nosebleeds usually happens when they hear a romance-y line, or seeing a girl in a swimsuit (Perverts). Like Kouta in Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu.



Run for nothing!



The title says it all! In almost EVERY opening, there will be a running scene!
Like in the 2nd season of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Little Busters! and Yuru Yuri.

Fan-service



Fan-service is the most essential item for ecchi animes! Panty shots, hot springs, bras, almost naked girls and more!! Examples of these fan-service thingies are Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Haganai) and Shuffle!.

No Parents

No pictures for this since there's no pictures describing this.
You're extremely unlucky if you don't have parents. This cliche is about NO PARENTS at all. Either your parents died (Riki from Little Busters!, Naruto from Naruto and Bossun from SKET Dance) or something. The examples are already given.

"Oh no! I'm running late! I should run with a toast in my mouth!"



*PRRNNGG*
"10 more minutes.."
"..."
"Oh no! I'm going to be late for school!"
*Puts bread in toaster*
After that, bite the toast then run to school.
Yeah, a really common happening in Slice of Life, School Life animes. Sometimes, when you're late, you just gotta eat a slice of toast and run to school while eating the toast. In some episode(s) of K-On!, Nisekoi and Sailor Moon .

Bounce Bounce



THE LAST ONE!!
The one that makes some women jealous. I usually hate Physics but except for THIS ONE!! No examples since they're too many.

Well, guys that's all! Sayonara!
