It's really hard to find a show where the characters don't "huh?" at everything. it's like:

Ano: I don't want to eat this apple.
Beno: You don't have to eat it.
Ano: Huh? [:o}

It's kinda funny though.

Nani the fuck?
It's not exactly huh.

It's no common either, mostly used when characters are confused.

Because people make weird sounds. That's just the way it is and many anime exaggerate their reactions ... and it's really cute and funny sometimes. XD

Why there are so many anime? Why there are so many idiots? Why there is so many useless threads? No one has the exact answer to this questions in this tiny universe try maybe break the 4th wall and search in the multiverse to obtain such desired answer.

This made me chuckle. I think it is a common thing to say to someone you didn't hear. But I know what you are talking about, I think its main use in anime is for harems. When the one character says something that obviously shows how they love the main character, then the main character goes "huh" and we all yell in anger.

okay, i think i fucked this up, sorry. i'll try to make it clearer.

what i'm saying is not the lazy "huh?", that characters use when they don't understand something.

i'm talking about the ones that implie surprise. like when a character is apologizing to someone, looking at the ground with a sad face. then you have like 3 seconds of silence, and the other character say something like "oh you don't have to apologize", and the first character says "huh?" with a surprised face, eyes wide open. Then everyone starts crying, they hug, then they kiss, then we have the hentai spinoff.

got it ?

I'm so glad you made this thread.

I remember I cringed so hard when I was watching the first season of Sidonia No Kishi. Literally 20% of the freaking dialog was just the female characters going "Uh" "Oh" at everything while blushing sometimes.

Awful stuff.

Umm, there is way more than just the english "huh" or "what" in japanese. Like: nani, eee, are, haaa, etc.
Some japanese words have so many variations, for example "I" can be expressed in over 20 ways.

Because you don't need to have a shakespearian knowledge to understand what "huh" means. Now, embrace that we're all plebs.

Because that's how the Japs think they speak. Well, that's how they want to sound like at least. All cutesy and funny, but that is just because they're insecure about how socially retarded each and every one of are, because that's how they're raised. Have you ever heard a formal conversation between two Japanese people? it's the most awkward thing ever.

let me reverse the question
why there are so many people in real life that when someone ask a question, even if they heard our sentence carefully, they still said "what ?" few times ? and made that someone repeat the question. and sometimes they still said "what ?"

It portrays modern people speaking though. It can be interpreted in different ways like either they are not interested, shocked, or have no follow up to continue the conversation.
