Can you give me some examples? i'm curious.
See Hundred, Asterisk War, Infinite Stratos, Masou Gakuen HxH, To Love-Ru, Shuffle!, and Freezing. That'll give you a good idea. Might as well throw in Date A Live in there too, but I actually liked that one.


Shuffle! is a good show. Don't lump it in with everything else.

Well, I normally have the good sense to avoid shows that are ridiculously generic but some will slip through the cracks every now and then. I think the most generic show I've watched was this

https://myanimelist.net/anime/31914/Shoujo-tachi_wa_Kouya_wo_Mezasu

But I highly doubt that's the most generic show ever. I mean, making a visual novel isn't that common of a premise. After all, I haven't checked out shit like this https://myanimelist.net/anime/35203/Isekai_wa_Smartphone_to_Tomo_ni

My first choice would be Dragonball (Z) - don't wanna repeat the reasons again -, but the others are Tsubasa Chronicles and Tales of Zestiria & Granblue Fantasy & Chain Chronicles.
Although I rated the last three anime with 7 (by ToZ the 2nd half), because they were nevertheless very enjoyable and I loved the styles, colors and openings and endings. Chain Chronicle had also a quite different storytelling.
Tho the plot of them were as a whole like an educational book for authors "How to write all the clichés in High Fantasy." ^^"

Guys lets not forget ammm...Seraph of the End. It's just awful in term of originality. It's like a mix of every battle shounen out there. It was bearable because of the beautiful art, but the friendship and family babling made me drop it in the end. It was trying to top Fairy Tail in that cruteria. The anime was even worse lol! But still, nothing can top Fairy Tail in terms of noncostistent and cliche plot, deus ex machina, zero well handled characters and so on. It even managed to make me not care about one of my favourite nuts characters, which is just impressive tbh

Major and Yu Yu Hakusho dont count , the romance is not even the main point here

'i said pick childhood friend over tsundere' , in other words i want to see a tsundere get rejected ,in kanon there is no tsundere

You two can't shitpost for shit. No creativity; we could see these coming from a mile away. You need a more crestocie entry, like Ergo Proxy. Now that is a shitpost entry.

I think my shitpost is really good, actually. I can copy/paste it and just replace a few key words and I've got something entirely new and the intent of mocking the sheer stupidity of a specific type of sentiment is still there.

TTGL, Valverave, Evangelion and Aldnoah.Zero

They all have giant robots, how unoriginal can you get? Tired of this derivative schlock, where's the creativity man? >_>


Madoka, Heartcatch Precure, Nanoha and Ikusei Keikaku

They all have mahou shoujo, how unoriginal can you get? Tired of this derivative schlock, where's the creativity man? >_>


Slam Dunk, Kuroko no Basket, and Ro-Kyu-Bu!

They all have basketball, how unoriginal can you get? Tired of this derivative schlock, where's the creativity man? >_>


It's almost like it's such a vague catch-all just being tossed out as a derivative negative, that you can just turn it around and apply to anything and not be *technically* incorrect. Even if it is a fucking stupid thing to say.

In "Orange Road", the hero starts in a new town, so apparently no chance for a childhood friend. And then, the final episodes reveal...
Anyway, it already exists. ^^

edit: add Love Hina where the hero dreams about finding the girlfriend of his early childhood because they made a promise to be together.

@tragedesu But Hikaru is only the other girl's childhood friend (she might be "nice" but she 's mainly the over-energetic girl of the show), while
[spoiler] the other girl has a childhood relationship with the hero.[/quote]
Also, I don't know what "to be cucked" mean but Hiyama Hikaru is "kept" by the hero partially because she's a safe bet (not only)

Almost all romance/slice of life/harem/ecchi anime in school setting that was been made in the last decade.
But to be honest i didn´t seen most of them, so:
From those i have seen, definitely Strike the Blood. Guilty Crown and Deadman Wonderland comes close.

erm i think i know what your trying to say?

i didn't say SOA took idea's from hack my point was just that SOA is a generic anime. The whole stuck in a game has been done before the MC has little to no character development and there's nothing about it that really stook out to me that i haven't already seen.

Then they made a second season that was just like the first one
