Main character is sitting in the back of the class near the window spinning his pen.

Parents are dead (accident, disease, ebolaaaa)

Life of the main character turns from boring to either, a super amazing fun life, the life of a harem, the world turns upside down (in a bad way).

Well I wouldn't say dead parents are the trope, more of parents that are always traveling for work/on vacation/ or in general are almost never home. Those damn lucky japanese teenagers ..

Sovereign decision right there.....frightening. Anyway, one of the biggest cliches is the high school boy having special powers that no one else has or he's transferred into a school in which he's the only boy in an all girl school.

Female drops books or whatever and the mc happens to be there, simultaneously trying to pick up the books with her, and boom, love at first sight.

This happens in every entertainment medium though

- The unintentional groping of boobs.
- The getting slapped by a female character because of a misunderstanding.
- The getting asked a question by the teacher for spacing out while sitting beside the window.
- The switch to extremely cartoon-ish animation during comic scenes.
- The childhood female friend that lives just across, can jump into your room and comes to wake you up.
- The cute little sister.
- The 'I hope you didn't wait long/ No i just got here" on date scenes.
- The "Main Character-kun no baakaa".
- The falling on female character/ seeing her panties / walking into the bathroom with her half naked inside etc.

What are the biggest anime cliches that you can think of?

For example:
-if there is a romance anime and the 2 main characters go camping, they will end up getting lost/falling off a cliff and spending the night together.
-several characters are probably parentless or a least live on their own

This. I have nothing against it though.

Also:
*Male characters, mostly mcs screaming whenever a cute girl jumps on them (and they just yell and push the girl away).
*Dumb good-for-nothing mcs having a hidden super power.
*People blushing whenever they hear the word "tomodachi".
*People getting random (godly) help whenever they're about to die.

Oh and PEOPLE ALWAYS FALL WHEN THEY RUN AWAY CRYING! ALWAYS.

That's all i can remember right now.

it's always in the eyes for me
they are the window to the soul

character tropes are practically born on the creation of their eyes

i think it's funny when they throw you for a loop like in toradora

When the MC ends up with a violent tsundere
Beach/pool/hot spring episode because the audience is thirsty.
In Shounen, when the characters get stronger with the power of motivation talk/friendship!
In Shoujo, when the girl falls in love with mpboth her childhood friend and a new kid and ends up with the new guy.

The "accidental pervert", or when an MC gets beat up by a girl for through no fault of his own seeing her in a state of undress. It's a stupid trope and it needs to stop

The biggest villain in tear jerker anime that takes place in a contemporary setting, A Truck. A major character will either die by a truck or the MC saves others from the Truck when he is nearby. Its so frequent that the Truck might as well be a death flag in an anime.

The placid, blue-haired girl who is probably flat-chested is a cliche only done right in NGE.

Also, bland long hair girl is considered beautiful. What? Since when straight black hair was beautiful?
