| I haven't heard the term Bishie in a very long time, along with the whole genderfluid character archetype Christmas Cake - i remember it being being fairly common back in the days of Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, where the girls teacher is considered an old hag for not being married at the old age of 26. |

| For example: - A girl/boy running to school with toast in mouth yelling "Chikoku chikoku!". - A boy getting nosebleed from sexual excitement. Nowadays, these are often used in parody shows as nostalgic memes rather than being used seriously as sincere tropes. |

What do you mean it's "outdated", that's just Japanese slang for top and bottom in gay relationships. To get more nerdy, 攻め(seme) means "attack; offensive" and 受け(uke) means "defense".

What makes you say it's disappearing? It's one of most basic visual gags in Japan along with a bubble coming out of your nose when asleep or nosebleeds after seeing too much culture.
| @Captain-577 I don't have any actual data, but it seems to me that all these tropes were way more common 15+ years ago (like basically a 100% chance to see them in comedy anime in the past, whereas they're way less common nowadays). |

| The sweet potato sales man during fall sunset, Sweet Potato Seller in Autumn was Once a staple fall episodes in urban areas , the slow-moving cart and echoing “yaki-imo” as kids return from school or playground.. This call signaled changing seasons and temperatures drop as mentioned by Komachi in kochikame. the bamboo sales man mid day during peak summer heat..Bamboo Seller in Summer was A visual cule for peak heat, cicadas and summer festival prep. The gathering leaves and roasting chestnuts during fall.These were traditions gave characters a reason to bond with friends outdoors. Huge Chimney Bathhouses where the whole neighborhood community made awkward encounters, and slapstick nudity. Shows like Ranma ½, Urusei Yatsura, and Kochikame where bathhouses into battlegrounds of chaos. Also the annual hanami showdown, where friendships are tested for the best cherry blossom viewing spot and it used to become a turf war of absurd tactics.. |

TheBlockernator said: Outdated anime tropes and slang you don't really see much anymore While random scenes of characters grabbing each others boobs has certainly not gone away, nor has common scenes of female characters just being shown in their underwear, in non-sexual ways. The extremely brief cheeky random incidental gratuitous panty upskirt shot has basically gone completely extinct in contemporary Anime. lol  While they were extremely cheeky depictions, they weren't inherently meant to be sexually gratifying. It was just one of those things that Japanese Anime made more realistic when dealing with camera angles in action scenes when a female character wears something like a short skirt. Because in most other animated mediums, animators would basically just steer clear of even animated such a thing or give a character some magical skirt that never incidentally briefly flips up exposing their underwear. Even if a female character wears an extremely short skirt, scenes like falling feet-first off a tall building with the camera angle looking straight up should accidentally reveal underwear. lol Even in the 2010s if this type of shit happened, it would mostly only be displayed in shit that gets stamped with an "Ecchi" tag. Of course there could be outliers to this, but this is just something that used to be extremely common in this medium, for what I remember being 3 decades straight between the 80s up to late 2000s, that I have noticed has practically completely faded out over time in contemporary Anime. |

| Chuunibyou I never heard that anime trope/slang today anyone. Maybe bc isekai anime got popular so people aware reality of the real world and want to go other world so they can use magic or something. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |

| A girl running late to school with half eaten bread in her mouth. Then again, I don't watch shoujo, so if anyone does, can you tell me if this trope's disappearing? |
