waifu wars are not a fandom thing , it's created on purpose by the authors to make their works more popular

Incest or sexualization of lolis would be my choice. I love lolis and I hate it when they're ruined by the creators sexualizing them. I know pedophiles are people too and that it makes sense to target some anime towards them, but it's honestly too common so having it all done away with would be a net positive.

Plot armour aka sudden power up to win the fight.

I'm not presumptous enough to think that things I don't personally enjoy are unworthy of existing and do not wish to deprive others of things they like in anime simply because I deem it wrong. I also am aware that I have no right to police fiction and that I'm not the arbiter in what is appropraite to depict in fiction and what isn't.

Every reference to the sky, or anything to do with the sky. But, and this is the kicker, I wouldn't tell anyone. From then on, no anime would ever show anything above like head level and no-one would ever know why. All the camera angles would be awkwardly pointing downwards, there would be no aeroplanes or anyone talking about them, and no-one would ever look up. And no-one would know why.

Animators and artists would just do these things, and not think about why they weren't putting the sky in any shots any more. Editors would frantically censor puddles that showed reflections, but wouldnt be able to say what was wrong if asked.

It wouldn't be noticed immediately. You could do quite a bit with endless scenes of people inside, or with top-down views like in a videogame. But sooner or later someone would notice - past May of 2019, there was no sky in anime. People would slowly begin to ask questions. They'd write letters to studios and producers, politely pointing out the odd choice - because it has to be a choice, right? - and asking why. They'd receive no answer.

But it's not just that. Old anime would be rereleased as 'remastered' versions, edited out so that there was no sky - it would be awkwardly cropped out, or covered by unlikely-looking skylines and buildings and ceilings and canvas sheets for no reason. But nevertheless the anime comes out. Some suffer worse than others - the Miyazaki folio is almost entirely unwatchable.

Eventually someone in the industry notices. Eventually, people involved in making anime slowly begin to realise something's not right - but it's hard to break what's now become a tradition, and every attempt to put the sky back in anime is rejected by editors - editors who, people start pointing out, never seem to go outside, or who only ever look at the floor and never raise their gaze.

But, as the old guard retire and new blood is brought in, it happens - for the first time in ten years, there's a show that has the sky in it. It's trash - a web novel adaptation about a kid who's hit by a truck and sent to a fantasy world along with his parole officer who is transformed into a cute wolverine mascot - but about once an episode there's a shot that shows things above the characters' heads. The clouds look like crap, because no-one's been drawing them for years, but they're there.

Soon, more and more shows show more and more sky, and people just put the odd decade where anime didn't show the sky behind them. No-one knows how it started, or why it ended. Only a handful of people even remember the thread that started it all.

But we know. We'll always know.

Thank you! Was just about to say this. I would go broader and say I'd remove all scenes where a girl hits a guy for no justified reason that's played off as a joke, not treated as a big deal, and has no plot relevance.

I wanted to say the ecchi kind of fanservice, but lately I have grown to like that. Only in pure ecchi shows though. The problem with fanservice is its often just really badly done.

I want anime without stupid animation frames for overreacting when the characters convey emotions. It is hard to describe it with words, so I would give examples.

Higurashi (when they cry) - a masterpiece horror thriller, that keeps you on your toes, except the first episode, where characters either do "cute things" or tease each other. While that would be a normal high-school life, the animation that depicts the teasing is so childish.

Your lie in April - a drama with so deep stories poking the world of musicians, but the comedy scenes are so childishly drawn.

There are a lot of other anime that does this kind of fooling around. Now if this is a comedy and there is intention behind it, I am not against it. The problem is when it is out-of-place. But that could be said for everything. Fanservice is actually good for ecchi, harem and even certain types of love stories, it is only bad if you start watching serious anime, and suddenly it is there.

I would most certainly remove the 12+ minutes flashbacks shown every big fight or basically every two episodes that anime tend to do, specifically the ones that tend to show the same thing over and over again.
