Title is self explanatory. I want to know what, you believe, is the cringiest line you've ever heard.

For me, it's without a doubt from the Strike the Blood series. For those who've watched it, you should know exactly which phrase I'm referencing.

Protagonist - "From now on, this is my fight!"
Female Protagonist - "No senpai. It's our fight!"

***dies inside from the cringe

Those aren't that dumb. The former makes perfect sense, and the latter is half a sentence. The full sentence is "People die if they are killed, that's the way it's supposed to be". In context, he's talking about how avalon revives him whenever he "should" die, while other people (who are hypothetically more "deserving" than he is) have to die. He's also referring to the accident when he was a kid that Kiritsugu saved him from, which is his metaphorical death and rebirth.

Not the most cringe ever, but I'm watching AoButa right now, and I roll my eyes every single time Futaba starts talking about BS science like quantum teleportation.

I know, this guy kinda sounds like he ACTUALLY likes the inferior system of "Capitalism", whereas the superior and far optimal choice is Communism.

Nevertheless,
most cringey line goes to "I'm so glad this romantic anime ended without anything going passed a light peck on the lips"

Oh! Wait! FROM an anime....Not ABOUT an anime....

Unnecessary line that starts with "so this is" when someone is shocked by the power/skills of another character. For example:
"So this is the power of level 5" 🙀
"So this is how powerful captain level is" 🙀
"So this is the the skill of someone who is part of xy organization" 🙀

Fairy Tail had plenty for me. I'd rather not try and remember.

Sakuta (AoButa) gave me a painful dose of cringe with some of his lines, and it's even worse when the series actually makes some of that crap work in his favour lol

"Don't believe yourself. Believe in me that believes in you."

You just don't mesh up optimistic words together and call it a motivational quote. This was definitely very cringey.

One word, that applies to KnY too. "Animation". Still can't believe people rate it over Parasyte and initial AOT.

You stole my line XD.

Also Shirou is super annoying in Saber route because he acts way too male chauvinism.
He has the best personality in HF though.

its suppose to be "just because youre (scientifically or factually) correct does not mean youre (morally) right" and it makes sense since science and ethics are separate

Literally any line that starts with "In this world..." Doesn't matter what they put after it, it could be anything. But seeing "In this world..." in a sentence makes me switch off immediately. I remember seeing it recently when I watched Weathering With You (I think it's literally the first line in the movie) and that set my mood for the rest of it

"In this world, there is no escaping lazy ways of making a sentence sound dramatic. You may as well go 'boogedy boogedy boo' for all the impact it has."

The exception, of course, is Berserk. Boogedy boogedy boo.

I can't help but laugh whenever a shounen has the line, "H-he's fast!" or something similar, right in the middle of the anime showing us how fast said character is. It's definitely not the cringiest line in anime, but I've seen it so often that's it's somehow become funny to me.

I don't remember exactly what it was like, but Rem's speech in Re:Zero S2 before she
was super cringey.

Also, everything Hachiman says is so pretentious that at this point it's just cringe.

Maybe it became a classic because it's literally the most philosophical anime out there? Not surprising if you ask me.

There are a lot of people who are just biased towards some shows, and don't see faults in them. Even I do it sometimes.(lol)
And Gurren Laggan is a lot of cringe. Atleast a dozen people have asked me "You don't find colliding galaxies amazing?? You have bad taste!!1!."
I mean, do they even know what they're saying?

lol right , the last fight was just too much for me , it was just hype to the lead up but the fight was kind of like an asspill , hell most of the fights in TTGL were absolute asspulls though I overall liked the show , I am still conflicted whether I should give it a 7 or a 8 , in no way was it good enough for me to give it a 10 like most people do and yup , it had a lot of cringe

A lot of people badmouth fairy tail. IMO, both GL and FT are very similar shows. Good setting, good music, good characters, horrible stories and bad villains, Same power of friendship bullshit and a lot of fanservice.

And people badmouth one while praising other, because one of them doesn't have movie animation.
And both are 6 or 7 at best.
