The 'it starts and then there is the middle part and then there is the ending' cliche

I consider straight black hair beatiful, tho I rather them short, also the Japanese probably do consider it beatiful and their standards of the "perfect woman" are different for them than for them than for the others.

When an anime uses yuri undertones to draw you in but then gives you no actual yuri.

"There is a character who exists and there may or may not be other significant characters around that character and the anime is about their actions" is a big one, as well as my least favorite one

being about concepts/having a structure that people can probably grasp is so tired, we can never achieve objective greatness if this unoriginal drivel keeps up

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

It's fucking annoying.

MC is late to the fight is a cliche in almost every battle shounen.

I guess it's a cultural thing. Here in Israel it's common. Blonde is considered the elite hair.

A rainbow-colored Skrillex-style hair is the most beautiful.

Dyed hair is the best hair there is, especially blue.

True, practically in evey romance anime theres the "promise" or something like that. And its also cliche how the mc in every romance anime does not remember his childhood friends, its like alzheimers.

2 or more girls compare their cup sizes. This involves non-consensual breast fondling
The love letter inside the shoe locker. Confesses to that person underneath a tree/school balcony.
The compulsory characters running in OP/ED
Just a fuck ton of -dere tropes here and there

MC beats the shit out of a bad guy-> 3 eps later bad guy returns as a good guy
The same bad guy turns back into a bad guy later on. THEN PLOTTU TWISTO it was just an act to fool the other/new bad guys.

Important/semi-important character dies in a massive explosion
5 eps later makes his dramatic return just when everyone needs him.
Then they find out he survived the nuclear explosion by hiding in cardboard box 'cus the explosion couldn't find him(that's how much sense the explanations usually make)

Character get shot/stabbed/slashed etc. few thousand times
"Hah you missed all my vital organs"

The biggest anime cliche is people calling or complaining on cliches. :/

Jk.

I don't really have anything against cliches for the most part, but if we talk general it's either the boob grab or misunderstandings to the very core, tsundere archetype winning the main male character (not an issue in itself mind you xD nothing against that).

"Walking in at the worst possible moment."

Probably not as big as the others, but I still love it when it happens because it makes you keep silent until you see the reaction of the characters (especially when the characters are in rather awkward "positions").

Oh here another one.

An average guy from the normal world is transported to another planet, dimension or etc, where he is tasked with saving said place. Depsite not knowing anything about place or not having any useful skills. This dude will somehow save the place. Oh no, the natives can't save themselves, but somehow the average​ Joe has power to? Lol. Please stop.

The "It's not what it looks like cliche"

Ever heard... of knocking the door first.. and entering... without any permission/didn't notice that the door was locked...

Every PLAIN... Dense BETA ONES... encountered this situation..

It's a Trap Isn't It?

No matter how you would explain the whole everything while she's naked... It won't work... unless someone just kick or punch you or neither slap you for no reason..
