Something like this: "Until I Die, I'll fight to the bitter end"
Yeah, something like that.

Repeat forever. Promise forever

Things along the lines of:
- "I'm going to be the best"
- "You will be the one to supass me"
- "He'll be stronger then all of us!"
- "'This person' is the chosen one"
- "I'll protect everyone"
- "I never leave behind a friend"
- "I never give up on a friend"
- "I don't want to be alone again"
- "We should all live in peace and harmony"
- "You pervert!"
Along with any power of love speach during conflict, delivered by a female who instantly becomes 'damzel in destress'.

Repetitive calling, yelling, screaming of someone's name, i.e., "InuYasha!" "Kigome"(sp)
Something/someone to protect
Pervert! (and the general misuse of the word)
"KAWAII~"
I want to become stronger.
Do your best./I'll do my best.
Not a phrase but when girls half bend over, throw the peace sign, close there eyes and smile.

I never get tired of "Baka" and "Probably". (It'll work out fine . . . . probably.)

THE "PERVERT" SCENARIO!

*Girl standing there, guy comes along, maybe ball or someone else come outta nowhere, guy ends up falling into girl or visa versa, or tripping, falling, or maybe even girl comes onto him, then either landing in some kinda stupid position with hand on boob or face in crotch and then THE LINE!...*

"AHHHHH! SKEBE! ECCHI!!! HENTAI!!!! TASKETTE!!! HENTAI!!!"

Orrrrrr

*Girl coming onto guy, or scenario above, and someone else coming in the room, and trying to beat the guy up while shouting....*

"Kiiii...SAAAAAMMMMAAAA!!! SHHIIIINNNEEEHHH!!!"

Any touting of power levels. There are lots of them, but it's early dbz that practically makes it famous, with scooters and all. "It's over 9,000/8,000!" "My power level is over 530,000" etc I only remember z putting numbers to it but it's often a villian' s boast with what's possible with their current or new level of power.
Also another shoenen one, Any variation of "it'll take more than this to kill me" or "I'm made of tougher stuff than that" sometimes uttered by characters who have lost 5 men's worth of blood and are still alive. Seriously Zack in angels of death is bleeding for 2 episodes and he's still in it.
"I don't want to die" uttered by a single person followed by a genocide of their people

When they spot their love interest just talking or even standing with someone else and misunderstand the situation:
watashi/boku to iu mono ga arinagara - Even though you have me

The person is obviously not even interested in you, stop being self-entitled and delusional, it's not even funny.

Well, a few of those:

  1. Baka (バカ), because you can use yarou (野郎), retard (リタード) or kisama (貴様) and all of them sound better than baka.
  2. Any phrase that contains この世界 (kono sekai – this world), because it sounds too global (I think that you aren't allowed to speak from the face of the whole world or about the whole world, because your occasion is private in 100% of times).
  3. Overusing of desu (です), especially after the verbs, like: 「では、行きましょうです」, because it's gramatically incorrect.
  4. "Urusai!" (うるさい), just because "Damare!" (黙れ!) sounds better.
  5. "Fight for freedom!" – fuck off, there's no absolute freedom in our live, only the relative one.
  6. "Fight for the ones you love!" – so cliche.
  7. "I can change this world!" – too global plus too cliche.
  8. The use of senpai (先輩) and (less frequent though) kouhai (後輩). There's nothing wrong with it, but just calling a person "elder" or "younger" is kinda weird to me.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhh!" This one I hate.

Forgot to add "Onii-chan". I think I'm one of the minority who prefer "Nii-san" or "Aneki" more.

After seeing all the post in this discussion, I think the characters should stay shut the whole anime, you know like Tom and Jerry.

The phrase I hate the most is 'Thank you for your hard work', its something like oskare sama des in Japanese, they say this to every person they meet in business world like in party or in the office I mean just say Hello it's so annoying listening to the same phrases 10 to 20 times in each episode.

"-Why do you do that ?
-Because I love him/her/you."

At first I found it kinda cute, but it very quickly became annoying.
There are still exemples in which the characters' relationship is so well done this line remains touching and meaningful, but it is very often used only to give a dull explanation for the character to sacrifice themself for someone they barely know. And the tone, mixed with the generic piano music, mixed with the generic facial expressions, just makes me want to slam my face on my screen instead of crying over how "kawaiiiii" that is.

You know it:
"This is my fight!"
"No, Senpai, this is OUR fight!!"
-Strike the Blood.

I actually wouldn't have it any other way, it's basically a staple now XD
Still cliche and (slightly) annoying though.

Good god, yes. I hate this!

About the "I want to protect the ones I love!": I only hate it, if it feels superficial to me, if I don't get the feeling that they have a strong bond.

Senpai/kouhai doesn't mean elder/younger though. At all. You can have a senpai who is 10 years younger than you and vice versa with kouhai.
It's more like experience-based honorific.


OK, didn't know about that, thanks for the info!

Not exactly a phrase, but...I've come to hate the squeaky sound all adult characters make when they take their first sip of beer in the day.
Look, I get it, the first sip is extra good and refreshing and whatnot. But it's become SUCH a cliché to show 'this is a hardworking adult' and I just kinda hate it? We can be adults without drinking. We can enjoy a drink quietly without moaning through the whole room. Please stop making that noise! x.x

Instead of killing the protagonist after torture him in a fight, you interrogate him again knowing he didn't know everything and then get deus ex machina'ed
