Im not talking about the stuff you always hear like Tsundere, incest, Harems and generic complaints like that. For example I absolutely hate it when they do the "Giiiiiiii" sound when they stare at someone. I mean really? Fucking hell.

So is there a really specific small thing in anime that happens to annoy you?

That brings me to general weird voices and name-endings. Like where there has to be that one girl that ends every sentence with -desuro or some shit, as if she where a friggin pokemon.

You mean where the "gleam" out of their eyes dissapear and they bocme blank? Yeah that one is pretty stupid too, it works sometimes for comedic purposes tough.

One more that came to mind is the unnecesary internal monologue. Like where every unnecesary thought is spilled and handed to the viewer in the form of a monologue, as if we where too bloody retarded to simply be able to deduct it from a simple facial experession in that context.

You imagine right. You know how some people say a childs laughter is the most beautiful thing? Well I can tell you for a fact that its the worst thing possble on a sunday morning at 8 am when you just went to bed at 5 am. Its infuriating.

Maybe thats one of the reasons why I absolutely cant stand high pitched voices.

Being the oldest of four siblings, there are times where it can be a bother. On the other hand two of my siblings are girls and are very precious to me. So when they call me for something I'm happy to help them with anything they need. To an extent.

Onii chan.

Seriously, this one is so annoying, I really get into rage mode. Why on earth would Japanese be into this kind of shit?

Senpai is also probably on the same level.

Or anything that those shy, stupid girls say in anime. Ugh.

How about the generic fodders group who always jumping before attacking the protagonist but all of them got one shot down. (read : mostly used on One Piece)

Honestly this kind of scene really annoys me especially it been used for millions time already.--

Pulling down the eye lids and/or sticking out their tongues at people, the long cheesy speeches you tend to see in battle shounens, treating viewers like idiots (this is really small but a lot of anime do this, I think G-reco is the most blatant one I've seen in a while), little looking girls that are aged like 20+ so chris hanson doesn't get the weird people that get off on that and I think the worst one is spectacle creep, this isn't an anime only thing but it tends to happen in a lot of action anime. This isn't usually a bad thing but anime handles it in such a forced and bad way most of the time.. it also generally involves breaking the rules of the show or some other shit.

I can't stand the "-desu" shit or any other artificial way of speaking. If I can pick it out and don't even speak Japanese, it's probably annoying.

This happens all the time in anime, maybe I didnt explain myself.

This is the first that came to my mind but every anime episode is full of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNFjt3iFSV0#t=1703

Its when they say someones name without any dialogue on it, just the name

It's actually NOT artificial, it's a common Japanese word. Desu means "to be". The Japanese language is structured differently than English. In a Japanese sentence, the topic comes before the comment, so " desu" would almost always come at the end of a sentence (unless it's followed by ka, ga, yo or ne).

This and I'm also tired of main characters having girls all over them throwing out innuendos that they want to marry or sleep with them. Not only that but the damn boob jokes, typical bossy bitches or tsundere, child soldiers (as seen in Evangelion, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Code Geass or every Gundam series), lots of shows having endings with characters running, the tireless white collar workers groping women in subways and even the same old painfully shy male protagonists always stammering, getting nosebleeds, passing out, running/screaming or some combination whenever some girl makes the first move.
