I mean, I'm not saying I don't like oppai but the thing is it has been used way too often and it's starting to be annoying rather than something that's an "Oh, lol that happened!" moment. It's like Isekai: not a bad idea, but an overused one.

Cliche is good. Balances your expectations.

Although, if there was one cliche I could hate on is that blase "But you had promised we would get married when we were 6 years old!!!". Man, drag that fuck outta here pls...

The childhood friend that likes the male protagonist, sometimes even the real life one. At the end of the day if the childhood friend is of the opposite sex, then 90% of the time they have liked the male protagonist at some point of their life. Every time I see that, the childhood friend will almost always lose.

As much as I absolutely swear off any kind of harem anime, if I ever get around to watch Nisekoi, I am instantly going to put that character who brings up that childhood-proposal card in my shit-list. :D

Friendship with KreatorX ended. Now nobody is my best friend.

Free violence against men from a pair of walking tits (because calling these things characters would be an insult to writing).
That sounded really bad... welp.

Also the "misteryous quote from a character pointing out at the fact that they know more about the plot than us but the MC acts as if he didnt heard said character right or brushes off that character instantly".
The blue girl in Toradora became completely irrelevant after her first episode and became that cliche.
Also the white haired girl in "love comedy" (name too long, anime too shit to learn the name).

Also beta male self insert virgin goody two shoes blank slate reference thrower characters.

ikr
well i just cannot stand their personality
i do feel like this cliche undermines both characterization and character development in a way it makes the story unenjoyable when the outcomes are usually predictable and you know, mc will mostly, if not always, succeed and solve the problems
combined with their emotionlessness, they just seem condescending

yes! the protag from aldnoah is such an emotionless piece of meat. i'm not sure what they were thinking when trying to make his "character." it's like they wanted to make him as bland as possible.

hachiman is also a bit of an annoyance. he's way too edgy for me at the beginning and while i do know the point of his character arc is to overcome that edginess, it's just so irritating to watch him be a dick to everyone.

Off the top of my head, that cliche of starting an episode (or even a scene) in the middle of a random scene, with the protagonist saying something like "how did things end up like this?", and then the show proceeds to give the context with a mini flashback. When I first saw that in Steins Gate's 2nd or 3rd episode back when I was new to anime, I thought it was pretty creative, but it quickly became annoying because it's way overused, especially when telling the events in a regular linear way would be much better.

When it starts raining when a character is about to cry. Pretty considerate of mother nature to spray some water all over the character so that they wouldn't feel embarrassed for crying.
And speaking of rain, characters catching a cold instantly after getting a little wet in the rain. How weak is the immune system of Japanese people?

The weird grunting sounds like "khuh" that characters make when the show give you a reaction shot of their face.

Cockblocked kiss scenes. Not showing kisses. Kissing only at the end of the show.

NTR moments in shoujo/josei anime. They're in almost every single one of them (the ones I watched anyway).

1. The male character gets hit just because he saw her naked. (There's a thing called locks). If anything when a female character sees anything "lewd" he gets hit.

2. Epic battle but first, let me tell you about my past. (If this a excuse to give you pity then failed)

3. Male characters gets a instant harem. (This type of shit is unnatural in every way) I don't mind it if slowly becomes one but when it just happens with a snap it grinds my gears.

I have several I hate.

  • Male MC walks in on girl/s changing and then proceeds to get slapped, insulted, etc. Like Jesus Christ, have they heard of locking, or putting a note on the door if it ain't a room designed for changing?
  • The whole childhood promise BS. It's just, so darn cringey.
  • Dense as hell MC. Makes me want to rip my brain out.
  • Test of Courage, specifically the stuff that tends to happen between love interests during it.

This is all I can think of currently.
