Overuse of; fanservice, cliche character types (tsundere, moe, dopey hero) and the notion of 'teenage chosen one'.

I dislike when I know what is going to happen in the ending. Unless of course, it is based on a manga I read. Otherwise, I deem them uncreative because they become like any other anime.

Or when anime are like video games, the plot is only actually going from point a to point b but on the way I am going to take eleven fillers and help this lost cat.

Kids overpowering strong, experienced fighters by determination and strong will.
^But this irritates me mainly in Naruto somehow.

I dislike characters oblivious to girls being in love with them.

Sacrificing time which could be used better on fanservice.

Lame tsunderes(like that little bitch from Kore wa Zombi).

Especially that. Characters that just charge in a suicide situation then have some magical blast of power that helps them defeat the villain.

Also, can't stand how the main female lead in action anime are horribly weak compared to the male lead character. -Ex: Sakura from naruto, Rukia from bleach- I know the female leads usually aren't the main focus, but will it kill them to make it so they don't always have to get saved by other characters?

Fan service. It ruined HoTD completely.

Also, heros who should, logically lose. They then previal due to incredible circumstances and luck, and believe that's they won due to friendship or faith or even that they're genuinely more skilled. I always feel sorry for the bad guy in those situations. That trope isn't just in anime though.

When a guy isn't happy with the situation hes in even if hes got like ten girls after him, he misses his old life or somewhat.
When a guy has a crush on more than one girl.
When a girl has boobs the size of mountains.
When a character stutters too much.
Cheesy fights.
I think thats about it..

I really do not like all the hentai, yaoi stuff. It just grosses me out! So many of my guy friends get so frustrated with how much porn, and other adult things plague the internet. Sometimes I also feel it degrades women and men.

My complaint is more with stuff surrounding anime. And by that I mean like the merchandise and stuff. God forbid I like a female character in an anime and want to get like a poster or something. Can't do that because she'll more often than not be wearing next no clothes and in a questionable pose. Its like C'mon man.

I guess that falls under fanservice though which I don't have a problem with in an actual anime just how overblown it is outside of it.

THIS!
At Anime Boston 2010, I had wanted to get something of Taiga from Toradora. The only item I found was a towel with her in a bikini and it was starting to fall off so she was covering herself.

Also:
I really do like tsundere characters, however I do think that they are overdone.

most animes tend to have monologues by either the main character or another important character usually about standing up for yourself, not being afraid of something or love ...now i dont mind that they do these monologues but why do they have to say such corny things ...they do it in a way that makes me feel embarrassed for the character

Top five:

5)The girl is a guy or the guy is a a girl. (the less common)
4)Random power increase in a shonen.
3)Only the main character can defeat the main enemy.
2)Fanservice. (the MORE common)

1)5 minutes of recap BEFORE start the episode xD.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. I especially love what you wrote about the seating (I never really noticed until you mentioned it) and the "I'm stronger than you because I have friends". Another common thing is the overnight school trips and the sports festival.

Oh, and any obsessing over the ocean. You know the whole getting hot and bothered whenever they reach the beach or blathering about how they've never seen the ocean before.
I mean, seriously, Japan is a bloody island nation, how the fuck can someone live their entire life without seeing the ocean? and even if they've never bothered slogging down to it, then they should at least have a general idea of what it's like, big, blue and wet, and have no reason to get their panties in a bunch when they see it.


haha, that's so true. I never understood why they get so overly excited.

Generic, bullshit, clueless, dense motherfucker main harem protagonist. They frustrate me so much. The only reason why I watch harems is because of all the lovable characters. I think the only main character I actually from a harem is Haru from Yosuga no Sora. At least the sex they have actually have some meaning, instead of it just pointless, so far.

I also hate fanservice. (unless it's gay)

Who did that? Maybe there was a prologue you skipped that explained the characters are star-crossed lovers who have been in love before and reincarnated OR the character saying they love other people so easily is some kind of casanova/hopeless romantic and falling in love is part of the character?

I dislike how insular a lot of anime is. It caters to its fans far too much, at the expense of things like interesting characters or good stories. I would love to see more anime that attempt to handle real life issues or adapt mature storylines from quality literature, rather than adapting countless light novels.

noitaminA does this to some extent, however I would love to see more anime breaking out from the cliches and taking a few risks to create something new and interesting. It can work- Madoka, for all its problems did do something a little different with the Mahou Shoujo genre and it proved to be quite a success.

The "OMG we have to protect her and be extra nice just because she's a girl" when the girl can clearly protect herself and doesn't deserve such a treatment.

When it's okay for girl to kick the living shit out of the guy and it's considered "funny" and "cute" but it's the end of the world if the guy does the same.

When characters and worshipped and liked by everyone, and have the "saint" attitude.

When there's a serious action scene and they focus the camera angle on the girl's boobs, a complete turn off.

Well that's simple, when anime is made, 99% of the time it follows a manga or a VN or a manga that follows a VN right? Anime always screws up something - story, art, characters - and in some cases everything to the point that you say wtf am I watching.
