| I'm talking about the generic main character, with the help of his generic childhood friend that likes him and his generic comedy relief best friend, must defeat the generic villain for some generic reason. |
| Nothing can be more generic than asterisk > help of his generic childhood friend everytime someone say that word "childhood friends" , i become salty their endings are the most tragic |

| @EcchiKingMamster i heard that in hundred the mc didn't chose the tsundere that make it less generic |

tragedydesu said: @EcchiKingMamster i heard that in hundred the mc didn't chose the tsundere that make it less generic i just fucking lol'd irl.. eh.. idk man, i had some pretty good reads watching Hundred i'd never had such an easy time predicting what was gonna happen in an anime XD |
|
| mhm, idk I find many seasonal animes to produce a lot of generic animes. But As others always stated, Hundred and Asterisk just stands out to me as pure generic. Also Rewrite and Luck and Logic, idk those animes couldn't do it for me, they just screamed generic so much lol |
| Why yu gettin' cheeky? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| DanMachi Fairy Tail My top 2 contenders |
 |
| Fairy Tail kind of combines every generic thing the shonen genre has including every flaw. But any SAO rip off that takes place in generic high school setting....I can think of 5 at the top of my head. Captain_Toad said: Honestly I'd have to say my hero academia. Lots of the characters feel plain and boring and almost as if they were just introduced for the sake of having lots of heroes. Although thats not to say that the action scenes aren't amazing. They get fleshed out as the story goes on, the anime has only covered 3 arcs so far... |

| those crappy scifi harem series that beginners usually worship just no i'm bitter abut that |

| i think fairy tail manages to copy and screw every shonen cliche on the book, during its run so i guess for shonen fans that would be the most obvious choice people keep saying fairy tail is exactely like that for light novels, but i will never watch the dawn thing to find out if that is true or not |
| Can you give me some examples? i'm curious. |

| I heard somewhere that the Smartphone show this season is horribly generic. |
| Cowboy Bebop, Planetes, Luluco and Uchuu Kyoudai You see, they're all just ripping off Legend of the Galactic Heroes because they have outer space. Tired of this derivative schlock, where's the creativity man? >_> |

| So far this season Isekai Smartphone is the most generic I've seen. |

Taifood said: I definitely agree that Asterisk War is pretty damn generic. Not only does it not do anything new but the entire plotline is completely pointless. An anime I saw recently, Sister Testament, is also one of the most generic shows I've ever seen.The main character Basura looks almost identical to Issei. Absolute garbage. Issei will never reach Basara's level of awesomeness and the girls in Testament are hotter than DxD. DxD is weak sauce compared to Testament in ecchi. |

Taifood said: Paul said: I mean yeah, sister testament has better ecchi, but if that's all you really care about in a storyline then go watch hentai dude. Some of us actually don't want to bang our heads against a wall. Issei will never reach Basara's level of awesomeness and the girls in Testament are hotter than DxD. DxD is weak sauce compared to Testament in ecchi. I'm not saying DxD has a such a great plot either, but at least it makes sense in the context of Issei's characterization. Sister testament makes no fucking sense and is cursed with incest vibes. I think you need to go watch the garbage that is Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai if you want a better contender. |

Naru said: Honestly, the people saying FAIRY TAIL probably haven't seen enough anime. It's sure as hell generic, don't get me wrong there, but calling it "the most generic anime ever" is going way too far when you consider how many things are out there. If you think FT is generic, then you have't seen jack until you've watched this series: Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku ^Now THIS series is what I call generic, it's possibly one of the most generic pieces of trash to have ever existed. Fairy Tail is a masterpiece compared to this (and FTW I didn't even like FT much). Wait a second, I didn't dislike Fortune Arterial lol |

MangaOverAnime said: 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.Can you give me some examples? i'm curious. |

Adonc said: MangaOverAnime said: See Hundred, Asterisk War, Infinite Stratos, Masou Gakuen HxH, To Love-RuCan you give me some examples? i'm curious. literally what do any of those series have in common aside from "harem" I mean, I would really love an explanation over how a comparison of Asterisk War and To Love-Ru specifically makes even the smallest amount of sense ._. One's sci-fi is understated and revolving around aliens from outer space, the other is overstated and more reliant on future technology than anything remotely involving aliens and outer space. One is a straight up ecchi-comedy while the other takes itself dead seriously. One is a manga with the source focusing on art and sexualization, one is an LN series with the source focusing heavily on the minutiae of its' worldbuilding. This is almost like saying Blue and Red are the same color, from where I stand. I mean, Julis and Lala/Momo are the leads and all 3 have pink hair, I guess. Creativity must be truly dead, smh. But even then, I find the other comparisons to be...strange. Hundred and Masou HxH - Hundred is primarily a harem with somewhat understated fanservice and generally more focused on being action. Masou HxH is incredibly ecchi without any shame whatsoever and pretty much everything else is understated. Those two don't even compute at a core level, really. Again, unless your standard for "unoriginal" here is just "being a harem." I guess they both have characters wearing tight suits when they fight stuff, though? I know that most of these "all harem/ecchi are the same thing" argument is usually just relying on vague claims and broad, sweeping statements, but this is a case where I find it outright baffling ._. |

| Can't really think of many from the top of my head, so I'm just going to say last seasons Hinako Note. It wasn't bad, it was just generic and didn't stand out much, although I think that was what it was going for. |

Naru said: It's not the most well known series, but I'm pretty sure that most people who've watched it will say it isn't good. But this somewhat interesting, since you responded to my post about Fortune Arterial the same way I responded to the people saying FT was generic. I would like to know, what series wold YOU consider to be the most generic? Is there a series out there that makes Fortune Arterial look like a masterpiece in comparison? LOL nah i didn't love Fortune Arterial; I think i gave it a low-mid 6/10, i just didn't think it was horrible. Personally I haven't watched Fairy Tail so my perspective on that is quite limited. (I'm like the opposite huh? Seen Fortune Arterial but not Fairy Tail D:) I dont think Fortune Arterial could look like a master piece next to almost anything except maybe the likes of Mars of Destruction of Seklter;Heaven. But to answer your question.. most generic... hmmm.... I agree Asterisk Wars is probably close to the top of the list. Uhhh I got another one - Dog Days. If you want something slightly less known maybe Escha & Logy Atelier - Alchemists of the Dusk Sky. Throw Absolute Duo in there. |

Wasshio said: Can't decide which is the most generic series ever for seeing a lot of shows but I'll just put my least favorite when it comes to that regard: Ushio to Tora. That show is generic to the core, and not only generic to the core, but I also disliked every single minute of it after few episodes. Some at least entertained me but nothing comes close to that in my head. Without my bias either Fairy Tail or Naruto. At least to me. LOL Ushio is one of the whiniest annoying male shounen characters I've ever seen. He makes Naruto look like Light Yagami .. |

| Why do people equate bad=generic. They're not necessarily the same thing. Ot. I dunno, Honobono Log or something. |
| There are a lot of generic characters in this generic genre: romance. |
