Since we've got a few anime threads going, let's get to the inevitable: The Anime Pet Peeves/Hates

Hates and pet peeves that come to your mind when you watch an anime/read a manga. Those things, from cliches to specific characters, just let it out.

-Yes this my seem a flame thread, but please don't address each other in a bad tone.

Alright--Start!

friendship speeches....

Emo music, pop music, nu-metal... and blokes who think they're satanic.

"I'm strong so I don't need friends" speeches

People who take their small accent and made it much much worse.

Haha, very funny. I'm in a bad mood because I had to deal with the most selfish spoiled idiotic little f*ck I've ever encountered [not you]. But this could turn into a running gag, a joke between us two. ;D

For me: The entire Harim genre. Just how they only stick with the cliches rather than add something to reestablish it. If I were to write one I'd add in a shy-glasses-nerd-girl and a rapist that offscreen rapes one of the many female characters each episode, before it starts. Then there'll be an arc trying to find aqnd stop him after he gets the shy-glasses-nerd-girl, because that's the only one the male character likes.

Yeah...I just really dislike the genre...

I don't get it...

when villans become instant freinds with protagonists

I meant the running joke part...

You know, like we disrespect the rules of each other's threads for a few posts as an inside joke. You in?

Anime: One of the many places where "I will never forgive you" means "I will love you in five episodes at least/max"

fillers where they recap clips and reveal no new information

You mean Fill ARCS!!!! Those really aren't bad unless they are written so badly! See, Reborn's fillers aren't really fillers, just more of normal anime episodes with its own conflicts and conclusions. And they're fun, and not arcs. Once an episode has a plot that could reach into more episodes, it means an important arc.

When all the characters with actual powers are afraid of the worthless secondary female character who follows them around. It's just so played out.

That brings me to a point: Useless characters; especially when they make them female. Seriously--What the hell????

I hate rediculous hair in anime.
I hate super powerful "deststroy worlds with my pinky" animes.
I hate animes where the only form of humor they have is screaming.
I hate super cutesy anime.
I hate Inuyasha.
I hate the high school life genre, especialy when they throw in unrealistic things every so often in an attempt to make it interesting.

I love almost all anime.
Except sh*t like Gurran Lagan, or however you spell it.
In it, "Your power is equal to the strength of your fighting spirit!"
They stop something reminiscent of the f*cking Big Bang.

That was the idea of the show, if you didn't get it.

Probably... my friend only showed me part of it... it still seemed so BS-ish, sorry if you are a fan.

Not really, I'm justing pointing things out.

This pisses me off to the most vile extent, and for not liking it I was once called a noob to anime. It definitely has no connection to the plot, but this is the ending theme to an entire anime. *Warning!* Do not watch if under the age of 16.

Spoiler:

I hate the emo characters in most animes.

Oh yes Key, an issue stemming from that sadist Monty... I remember him vaguely, as a man who thought he was smarter than he was...
anyways... I hate characters in anime that serve entirely as a plot device, especially if they have potential.

Funny, I actually like them.

So true, brother. Some character could prove to be useful, there was good development, then BOOM!!! They're dead or have to leave the team.

That brings me to yet another point--Lack of character development. You know it happens.

Or even better, they get kidnapped, or even better they suddenly know of a great place where you can get stronger or train, and everyone goes there!

I know, really? Potential is Essential!
