| The clueless boy that has a harem of women throwing boobies in his face and he's still clueless. Stupid. cliche and overused. "Omg and on top of it we were child hood friends and I promised to marry you after saving you?" Yeah.. |
| "People die if they get killed" who knew. |
| I really hate the Harem cliche, where the male lead stands there and have 5 girls fall in love with him. I really feel like punching those male leads in the face. |

AnimeSweden said: Embah said: Tsunderes. I've yet to find one that I didn't want to punch in the throat. Shitty male leads. Way too many crappy harem leads out there. Shitty female leads. I love shoujo, but most shoujo leads are helpless pussies. This. That indeed. Except I don't like shoujo. And I'm sure it was already said, but guys who want to save lives and become heroes. There's an annoying one. |

| The Power of Friendship. The "Looks like I'm going to have to use that!" cliche. Probably more, but I don't remember. Will be back when I remember though. Those are annoying as fuck. That and they are overused. |

| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |

| Wow, where to begin.. ok let's try: -Nakama power! Geez, yea I know what you are trying to do here, but please for the love of science, tone the nakama bs down will you? -Endless faceoffs. Yea, standing there, expalining what you are about to do for 2+ep.... Just bloody do it! I feel this quote is in order here" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AW2xyXl2tTI#t=13 -Clueless male leads. Oh my god.. just please make them gay or something so it at least makes sense that they avoid all the hot chicks, that are literally throwing themselves at them... It hurts just to watch that. -Forced fanservice. Hell even some anime make jokes and break the 4th wall about this... Look I like a bit of fanservice just as much as the other guy, but don't freakin' force it! Try to at least make it seem natural, instead of making a girl fall down a big ass staircase, in a way that would break her neck and most of her bones, just so you can get more panty and boob shots in there.. -The cute one, the serious one, the tomboy, the energetic one and the shy one. Can you please come up with something more original than this? Or at least don't include all in pretty much any harem anime ever.. Add some uniqueness there people! Geez... -Deus ex machina. It sux no matter the media, but it sux especially bad in anime. -Open endings. Look you made the anime, so freaking tell us how it ends! It's a complete and selfcontained product, don't leave us hanging and force us to "imagine our own ending" It freaking sux balls, I want to know what the creator had in mind for the ending! Imagine if Billy made us figure out our own ending to Hamlet. Yea... There is more, but I'm done for now.. because I'm getting annoyed just thinking about those, lol |

| Stupid annoying female characters that aren't capable of doing anything by themselves - I say females because the ratio of male characters to female characters like this is about 1:25 |

| Most annoying for me: Presumably native english speaking characters whose english text gets voiced by japanese seiyuus with thick accent and/or in broken english. I mean come on, even Japanese people must notice that this is not proper english. The only anime I've seen that did this right is Ika Musume. They at least hired a native speaker for the episode where they speak english. |

About Nakama - I believe that this is a fine idea that isn't used correctly. Higurashi pulled this pretty well if I believe. But in combat, I would love to see using "friendship" as "Gangbang the villain, coordinating attacks or some other crazy awesome shit" that actually makes sense in context. |

Yes that would make so much more sense, but unfortunately it is very rare (it's there tho). Instead of just standing there in the back and going "we believe in you!" and the lead getting over 9000 nakama power level from it, how about you all fight as one, eh? That would be much more awesome and logical, than your typical nakama bull. Or hell, even do what Final Fantasy:AC did, that was also way batter than "nakama power up!": http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hF2wr2puZu8#t=88 Simple, yet effective, getting help from friends to reach your goal, let's say. |

Gorim said: Have to add one more: Preaching. You know what Shonen animes do. Naruto and Ichigo preach a little to their enemies about justice and how they don't care about someone randoms feelings at all who they self met 1 hour ago and now know everything about them and are so good themself that they can go telling other people how bad they are... That's just too arrogant and annoying, and their words have effect on the enemy by either way: a) Antagonist shouts: "WHAT DO YOU KNOW!! BLAARGH DIIIE Im too hurt by your justful words, I have to kill youuuuuu!!!" b) "I don't care... I have nothing good in me, i have no morals or objective Im just so damn evil that I want every1 to suffer, for Im le boréd" ^ THIS. Kind of what bothers me about Natsu sometimes. Also, I'm not a huge fan of whiny characters or characters who promote their gender far too often. ie, "BECAUSE I'M A MAN!" "A MAN DOES THAT!" |

| reverse harem shows where dudes fall in love with the female lead who has nothing going for her and is a damsel in distress question- has there ever been a quality reverse harem show? i think ouran high host club might be one but i haven't watched it |
| 1. When a girl beats up a boy and everyone laughs and thinks it's cute. 2. When a girl hits a boy for seeing her panties/bra/any nude related clothing. 3. Uninteresting names. (many japanese names are boring and hard to remember). Ever wondered why most of the popular anime characters have unique and short names? Ex: L, Ichigo, Naruto, Luffy, Natsu, Levi, etc etc. 4. Schoolgirls out of place. Look at the show called "Coppelion" and you know exactly what I mean. No matter what the concept behind the show, the producers always seems to implement a shoolgirl somehow. 5. Generic characters. How hard is it to change the facial structure when making different characters? It almost feels like the eyes of every anime girl are drawn by the same guy. And that goes for the V shaped faces as well. BORING! |
| My most hated cliche The female childhood friend being rejected by the guy and gose with a girl he's known for a shorter time then the childhood friend, What the hell is wrong with the males in series that have this cliche, they are idiots an it pisses me off so bad, iv seen it in loads of anime an iv seen the childhood friend girl get her man in only 2 anime and the others in other series was rejected, the guy Is a idiot or ignores there feelings, Hey I know I'll go out with this girl iv known for a short while an dump my childhood friend iv known nearly or most of my life, or brake a promise I'd marry her, I wish the childhood friend has her man more |

Actually, it's not just anime this happens in... oh yeah this. or they're like "no i'm not going to kill you directly i'm going to torture you a bit more heheahehahee" like god damn just kill them already |

Red_Keys said: ^ I don't think you have the slightest idea how human emotions and relationships work. I'm sure the childhood friend male doesn't know how his female childhood feels either, Like e.g Waiting in the summer The male lead was told that his childhood friend loved him and he was trying to ignore how she felt about him and even when he saw her going for he's arm he ran for it to not let it happen and was told again and ................ that little s*** irritates me because she was crying because he broke her heart, and goes for a alien chick that he knew for only a few weeks A man who makes a woman cry is scum By the way how was your time outside the MAL community red keys ya cooled off |

| I dislike all the one-dimensional female characters in harem series that all fall in love with a main character who has no personality what so ever for no reason, and I hate those male characters even more because they are so boring and I really don't see anything attractive or even a personality in the man that is supposed to be so great that he has 5 or 6 girls minimum chasing after him. I really dislike the emotionless characters who doesn't seem to have any personality or any reason for why they don't have emotions. If there is a reason then I'd like it to be explained and give a proper reason for why they are like that, like in Princess Tutu or Tsubasa chronicle. But if they just stay emotionless without any change whatsover then they just become annyoing. And most of all I really dislike the whiny protagonist. Doesn't matter whether it's a girl or boy, the main thing is that they keep on whining through several episodes if not the whole series. Sure they often start out as the powerless ordinary character cast into something they don't want to be a part of, but after several episodes of their whining you begin to ask why they can't realize that they're not gonna get back to their normal life by just whining about it and being annoying. |

That made me think of the show called Katekyo Hitman Reborn. You described the main character Tsuna very well with that comment. |

jellyroll95 said: You really think Udon is gong to turn all evil like? Snot boy going over to the darkside. And I don't think Konohomaru likes Moegi or there was any romance in that group just like I don't think Tsunade liked Orochimaru. So that love triangle thing basically only works with Naruto and Kakashi's generations. But I agree, they do make them quite similar. And every team has to have 2 guys and 1 girl. Though idk if you would call this a cliche, but I guess they do use something similar in a lot of anime.I just wanted to note something from Naruto that I'm not very fond of. The generations are basically copies of previous generations. Like Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke are pretty much younger versions of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, and the same relationship follows with Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi, as well as Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, and there's always that stupid love triangle. It's just so.. trite. It'd be much more interesting and realistic if there were some variations in character relationship, even if there were two girls instead of two boys. Just something less repetitive and predictable. |

Well it's true it doesn't adhere that strictly to the stereotype—LOLOL I doubt snot boy will turn his back on everyone he loves and storm off in a fit of rage proclaiming to have his revenge and all that. And as for the love triangle stuff I probably don't remember enough about the series that I can point fingers it's more that I prefer shounen without romance cough silghtly biased cough but c'mon I love seeing characters with depth, and the repetition just kinda detracts from it all X Detracts how? It's on purpose because Jiraya mentored Naruto, Orchimaru 'sorta' mentored Sasuke and Tsunade mentored Sakura. I quite liked the similarity between the two teams. Plus I don't know how you can call it repetitive and trite when only two teams are similar (Oro/Jiraya/Tsunade and Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura). I can also find different aspects between them, one was already stated by turtle. The other teams are completely different even the Kakashi/Obito/Rin team is different. |

| School Idol cliche (mostly in shoujo) is probably the cliche I dislike the most. The protagonist falls for the school idol, because of appearance (since the school idol usually has terrible personality). |
| The fact that most romance anime involves socially awkward teenagers in a relationship that goes nowhere. |
