Attempts to create a meaningless tear-jerker - the industry is getting slowly buried in matter over mind, in immediate sensation which is ephemeral and valueless. A lot of "popular" series are trying to force this reaction from its viewers, instead of providing interesting narratives and introducing people to concepts which will ultimately lead to the very same joyous or sorrowful reaction, however in a more refined way and through meaningful, meticulously devised scenes and happenings.

Overpowered characters without any flaws attached to them - a character which is somehow the most powerful in the world... is an end game character. Like Naruto post all the suffering and sacrifice. However, when such a character exists without having gone through what Naruto has, and the series is supposed to go somewhere, then the problem becomes clear - the development is an illusion. There is also One Punch Man, where the main character is the strongest known being. However, he is utterly apathetic and has no idea what to do with his life (before he starts meeting new friends and comrades) and as a result spends his daily life playing games and reading comics. That is a proper way to represent a powerful character - many strengths, several weaknesses.

Preposterous presentation of Love - Japanese language has different words for what poor English is forced to encompass into the collective "love". Koi (affection), ren'ai (romantic love), jin'ai (benevolence/platonic love). Ai (Love). All of these mean different things which, on a human level, have different implications in the interpersonal interactions. And despite having a word for it, love is still something scientifically inexplicable to the humans. HOWEVER, being mindful of these differences of the meaning, some Japanese "creators" nevertheless decide to present it badly - equating koi and ren'ai to Ai on the linguistic level, pretending romantic "love" is the same as the real love. Within their weak, irresponsible narratives they create a fantasy which is not re-produced in the reality. Ultimately rendering their stories nothing more but hardly believable tales. In worst cases, self-serving essays into "what my perfect life should have looked like".

deus ex machina
generic overused tropes
underdeveloped everything (story characters, world etc.)

This only counts for show that i actually treat seriously, i care about other things when watching trashy shows just for the fun of it. Some things i can't stand in those shows are:

actually trying to do something with the story
focus on sideplots that are not as funny as the main one

Gary Stus/Mary Sues.Any OP character without flaws.

Harem where the main girl is decided from the very first episode.What's the point of harem.And any harem which relies heavily on ecchi tropes.

The clueless/dense people in romance anime that don't pick up on anything and end up causing problems for themselves and everyone around them in the process.

The girl from Kimi ni Todoke, the girl from Orange, etc. Biggest pet peeve.

EDIT: Oh. 3 things.

Making elements of a story, or even the whole thing (looking at you Evangelion) vague on purpose even though it's quite simple in hindsight.

Bad/open endings after an otherwise stellar show.

Harems/Open Harem Endings

Open harem endings I especially don't like because I feel like I wasted my time watching. Bad enough harems are pretty much always a bunch of females falling for subpar guys for little to no reason but somehow not a single one of them ever has the courage to confess. (Not all instances) I used to like them but I've grown bitter the longer I've stayed single. So yes, I am salty at all of the harems MCs for their unbelievable luck. Makes my hatred towards them even worse when they refuse to make a choice. lol

People watching with me

I like to watch anime alone. I prefer to not have someone hovering over me and talking when I'm trying to silently watch. I like to absorb everything on my own without outside interference.

Random misunderstandings that end with unjust beatings

Kinda specific here really. I don't mind misunderstandings in shows as a whole. However I do hate the ones that end with Person A getting punched by Person B even though it is very clearly shown to Person B that Person C pushed Person A into the room at the wrong time. That misunderstanding just gets to me every time for no reason.

Another example variation is Person B sees Person C borderline molesting Person A and yet Person B feels it necessary to drop kick Person A and say they're disgusting.

- Overwhelmingly loud sound effect, such as in OPM2 or Darwin's Game.
- Characters acting like a retard because there wouldn't be drama or tension otherwise.
- When characters stop doing whatever they're supposed to be doing in a life or death situation, just for the sake of drama, dialogue, or any other trivial reasons. The rooftop scene in S;G0 is the biggest offender of this.

Poor, soulless productions, like a show that only exists to fill a quota for the season, that no one really wanted to make, but did because people needed to be paid.

- dead butt or what’s even worse - when ass bones start to hurt [if I forget a second cushion];
- can’t get my legs into comfortable position;
- rape scenes, especially the unexpected ones. Like f-cking thank you Berserk, Dororo and Vinland Saga, you ruined my life.

And of course the honorable mention - sexualized minors.

I honestly do not remember Vinland or Dororo having any rape. The closest I remember for Dororo is that girl seliing off her body in order for her and the kids to survive but that is not rape. As for Vinland, I'm gonna assume you mean the manga because the anime did not include rape, only implied.


Vinland Saga had some implied rape, like Askeladd's gang members carrying captive women away. It was disgusting anyway.

As for Dororo - a child forced to sell her body during war, when she literally has no other sources of income was indeed been raped. She was f-cking singing the song during the whole thing not to go mad. Wtf is wrong with you.

Asspulls where the main character is weak as shit always wins no matter the strength of the enemy.

Stuff which is every movie where stuff happens at the last second like a bullet is a inch away then all of a sudden you are saved right before it hits you... yeah ok sure.


Also when the mc gets embarrassed by every single thing like when he just gets within 2 feet of a female.

It is not against her will though since she is gaining something from it (money or other valuable things like food). It's an exchange she is willing to take. Nobody forced her down or blackmailed her. It's disgusting that she has to make that choice and I hated watching that scene too but I can't call it rape, sorry.

- when one character says another character's name over and over again to the point it's 70% of their dialogue (the most grating example of this for me is "naofumi-sama")

- fight scenes that kinda just happen for no reason other than being exciting

- the feeling that the only thing the animators cared about was the characters' hair waving about
