SoL is to plot what abstinence is to sex positions. No plot, no holes.

As for hole-free story telling: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009), Steins;Gate (2011) and Monster (2004) come to mind.

Slice of life and CGDCT anime primarily focus on everyday experiences and character interactions rather than complex plots. This emphasis on result in fewer plot holes compared to more intricate genres. However, it’s not entirely accurate to say they lack plot holes altogether.

In these anime, the narrative revolves around daily life and personal growth, which can make plot inconsistencies less noticeable and less impactfull ..

Its not that hard to have a story without plot holes. so there isn't really a "least" when so many shows are at 0.

@inim

Father is a walking plot hole of a character.

He's made from "human blood" which is complete nonsense given what we know about the rules of alchemy. Its left as vague as possible hoping no one hangs onto it long enough to realize it makes no sense, which worked but still.

Its also funny to be that a character who's entire point was that he got rid of his 7 deadly sins lost purely because of his pride.

Steins;gate's ending is a HEAVILY debated topic that may or may not have plot holes, but the debates around that are honestly so convoluted half the people in it could write actual science papers with how much work they have done to talk about it, I can share you a document I made on it if you want (which is STILL incorrect if you ask the even more hardcore fans).

Monster... I personally didn't notice anything, so I give you that one. even though its kind of unfair since its the only show out of these 3 that I have only seen once.

If I had to name some show that I am pretty certain don't have plot holes, are finished, and are also really good, i would name:

Mob psycho 100
Akudama drive
Megalo box

@DesuMaiden A plot hole is a controdiction. And Its not that hard to write a story that doesn't have it. Specially if its a simple one.

"a man went to the store and bought milk"

that is a story without plot holes. Humans can't make perfection, true, but this is the sort of error that any author can avoid if they polish their story enough.

The anime with the least amount of plotholes are ones with no plot at all. Not even a little. So by that logic, I'd say Inferno Cop is pretty far up there.

Steins Gate actually has quite a few plotholes. For example, they realize their actions could change the reality because of the time machine thing so they promise to be extrremely careful when they use it but somehow right after that when the MC goes to the maid girl to ask for a favour in exchange for using the time machine he lets her use it without a care about what she will change, and as a result Akihibara goes poof.

As for Monster, Johan getting shot head in the twice and surviivng without any scars whatsoever is a plothole. There are some other plotholes but this is the most obvious one.

@APolygons2 Which is why the OG Full Metal Alchemist just works better! IMO anyway. And the Homunculi were cooler in the first version, too. Them being partly born from the Gate Children worked much better than the Origin Story in Brotherhood.

@APolygons2 Characters making horrible decisions they realistically never would in order to move the plot along absolutely is a plot hole.
Identifying such examples can quickly get murky, but if you agree that there is no rational justification for the character or characters in question to make the choice they did, you agree that it is a plot hole (unless you just don't know what a plot hole is)

@kutuya But that's not an example of an action "so dumb that it goes against their character".

Before then none of their actions had, had a big affect, the scene with akihabara being different is one of the best in the show, because it is only then were okabe realizes just how big the changes they are making are.

And even then, its not about how dumb the action is, its about how out of character it is.

And I 100% buy okabe making a mistake like that, at that point into the story.

And even with all that, I would not call that type of error a "plot hole". counting inconsistent character traits as "plot holes" gets way too messy way too quick. It makes way more sense to consider them as a different thing.

@APolygons2 I was replying to your statement that "characters doing dumb things isn't a 'plot hole'" and nothing else.
Whether or not the Steins;Gate example should be considered a plot hole is irrelevant to my point.

And even with all that, I would not call that type of error a "plot hole". counting inconsistent character traits as "plot holes" gets way too messy way too quick. It makes way more sense to consider them as a different thing.

You're right, it's only a plot hole when it happens purely to progress the plot, because at that point there is an actual hole in the story that has been filled by a farfetched contrivance.

I personally disagree. I see that as a lazy way of progressing the plot, not a plot hole. As you said it yourself, it's a hole that:

kutuya said:
has been filled by a farfetched contrivance.


which for m automatically makes it not a plot hole, the hole has been filled. It could be filled in the laziest, dumbest, most poor way possible, but the way I see it those are separate issues. in my mind holes aren't just illogical, they break rules. They directly contradict.

not that it even matters though, poor writing is poor writing, what we call those errors is just names we put on them. Ultimately it doesn't REALLY even matter if they count as plot holes or not lol
