You’ve never had a bitchy tsundere gf in real life? The bitchiness is what makes the sex so hot, it’s like hate-fucking except you love each other too.

FOTNS had the right idea. Kenshiro has two or three allies, and everyone else dies or falls to the wayside. That way we can focus on the adventure rather than which of the overstuffed cast has the best Win-Loss ratio, or what some character from three arcs ago is doing, or a million other little things about a million other stupid characters who can't be killed off or their fans will bitch.

Problem is that some heroes want to have their cake and eat it (Naruto and Deku especially come to mind), when the author spending chapters having a borderline semi-god competing against kids.
Am I supposed to be impressed when Naruto beats up Kiba and Neji? The power gap between is far larger than say Tensei vs Tenten which was over quickly. They get all these benefits of their lineage but hardly any drawback. Same deal with half of MHA arcs being Deku competing against his classmates when he’s got the God Quirk.

That thing where the character has a murder fuckall power that can kill the normal man instantly but bullies insist on picking on her because she is different, and they are very well aware of said difference - a difference that can result in their deaths - and then everyone blames her for inevitably killing them.

Some people have no survival instinct I swear. Then again, the TRUE bullies of our world do some stupid shit too, things that lead them to have a 42% chance of commiting suicide.

Most notable example is THE scene in Elfen Lied. I think Fruits Basket did it too.

Not tropes but unecessary fan services. Im a dude but it makes me feel like shit person. Loli fanservice can go to hell.

Also, Rescue Romance trope that unfortunately often amplifies the Damsel in Distress trope to maximum sexist portrayals, especially when it purposely makes the female character falling in love so easily with her male rescuer, not to mention most of the execution makes her look like "saving a women will guarantee the man will get her romantic attraction" superficial belief

Ok, i admit a catfight right out of the bat would be too bad, but this level of cooperation between love rivals makes no sense to me. Yeah, you won't simply hate a girl now because a dick is in the way, but it IS a competition to see who can make him fall in love first, so to help your opponents is nonsensical. It's mostly used by writers to extend the status quo, or make more silly misunderstandings

Like holy shit, school fucking sucks. I get that Japan (and most other East Asian countries as well) has a really bad work culture, but come on, it's not like your life ends the moment you turn 18. I'm sure that not everyone in Japan is just miserable and depressed all the time. Yeah being a salaryman in Tokyo is probably tough, but not everyone's a salaryman in Tokyo. And yeah, anime is primarily marketed at kids, but it's not like kids only want to watch shows about highschoolers. Like, the three biggest anime of the past two decades were/are One Piece, Attack On Titan, and Naruto. None of these shows are about highschool (except maybe Naruto cause they're in Ninja school at the start, but it's nothing like actual schooling). It's not like your average highschooler in the US only watches teen dramas, and I'm sure that your average highschooler in Japan doesn't only watch highschool anime/dramas either. I'm not saying highschool anime is bad, but I wish there was an anime like breaking bad where an ordinary guy tries to balance normal adult life and crime life or something like that (If there's one like this pls recommend it as long as it isn't slice of life). Hell, I don't think I've ever seen an anime about the Yakuza, which is kinda surprising considering how Yakuza movies are their own little subgenre over there (also just like before, pls recommend me one as long as it isn't slice of life/comedy). Man, I get that there are weirdos and creeps that's into minors, but I'm not one of them. There are highschool anime that I love/think are good, but I feel like there are an infinite number of settings that people can draw from, and too many of them are using highschool.

I HATE tsunderes, especially those that abuse or otherwise mistreat the MC. Like imagine if a girl irl handed you a box of chocolates on valentine's day and said:
>Here you go idiot, happy valentines day. It's not like i like you or anything, ok? Fucking pervert.
I would take that as an insult. I would throw that shit in the trash or stomp on it right away. Like, what is your problem lady? I wouldn't want to spend time with a sour bitch like that and i don't want them in my anime either.
For example, i didn't watch dungeon meshi past the second episode only because of Marcille. I liked the concept, i liked the art and everything but i couldn't get over that cunt.

I second this more than anything else in the thread.
I absolutely love Kanon but it's essentially an anthology of love stories where one half of them is the most generic motherfucker in the world. And since everything is narrated from his perspective, re-reading it is a real slog at times.

At least he's generic enough for me to believe that Mai would love me.

In case you saw none of Welcome to the NHK:
literally Misaki, the girl that numerous anons wish would come to their door. In the manga, she's straight up a piece of shit, who lied about being abused by her stepfather, iirc. In the novel and manga, the story with her stepfather is real, and she ultimately saw Satou as someone more pathetic than her. Thus, she wanted him to depend on her. She wasn't actually helping him out of the kindness of her heart. Somehow, this flies over people's heads because she's the cute girl and "gosh, it'd be so nice if the cute girl knocked on my door"

>MC gets isekai'd but his previous life actually influences the story
my biggest issue with isekai's is that there is usually no fucking reason for them to be isekais. other than the first chapter MC's previous life mever adds any context or issue or growth or becomes an underlaying plotline. he sufferes no culture shock, he doesn't het homesick, he has no hangups, we mever see how his loved ones are doing, he doesn't care about going back, and it's never mentioned again
>>
>>275205922
Maybe there haven't been threads like that for a while. The covid shutdown fucked with my sense of time, but I definitely read numerous threads here with anons blatantly wishing to have a Misaki in their lives.

It's already been mentioned but characters leaving their genocidal enemies to live is rage inducing
I will add that characters, especially villains who are about to be killed get a save by the author pulling some stupid ass shit just so they can bring them back into the story later. Something like
>Before the Hero could deal the final blow to the Insectoid villainess Queen Chitania, the earth bellows as the cave ceiling begins to collapse from the stress of their battle. The Hero quickly sheathes his blade, dodging the falling debris and protecting the rescued princess. Like waves washing against a shore, a swarm of Hench-Bugs approach their defeated Queen in the ensuing chaos, quickly carrying her body further below into the deep nest. As the chaos subsides, the Hero triumphantly holds the princess against him, the sunlight cascading from the now open-air roof on the once dark battlefield. Before leaving the Hero gazes at a collapsed wall where the Queen was dragged to safety as he realizes the war is not yet over...

to be desu, I'm only okay with it happening if the villain is such a good character that it's worth bringing them back but most of the time they're not worth it and have overstayed their welcome.

Anon please..that Manga is NOT a good example, they have confessed to each other 3 times and then right after that arc 1) Medaka doesn't learn SHIT or change at all except...oh she now eat meat and can outshine everyone in sports club making them feel bad, plus she decided she won't have any contact with Zenkichi until they are 18....which turns out to be a lie since they don't do anything for 10 years, she becomes a dog lady and even then is another "nu uh we have to fight AGAIN and then this time we marry FOR REAL" the end....fuck NISIO.

It bothered me, but I have seen much much worse and honestly they still had progress, she kissed him again, she said she was doing it out of her own volition.....honestly I hope the ecchi isn't just for show and the guy gets some action before the end of the of the series though and is not fade to black either.

A new trend in these past years has become to have 2 people married from the start, at first I liked it but in the wrong hands it just highlight how terrible they are authors and human beings, you can't have two people, say they are married and then they can't even look at each other eyes or touch their hands.

There's two things going on here:

1. You're needing your anime to preach to you lessons so simple and generic that you don't even need to state them aloud.

2. This is a painfully Western perspective. Japanese audiences generally like their characters to have connections to special bloodlines or prophesies. Which is why you see it often attached in ways that doesn't change anything or give any benefit eg. Naruto.

Honestly, that's just another trope I hate

>No... I'm a bad person. I'm only helping you for my own reasons...

It's all so eye rolling, the idea that you always have to have pure intentions at all times is beyond ridiculous. If you're in trouble and someone pulls you out, you're not gonna care about anything except that they helped you. The action is all that matters, intentions aren't worth shit.

With Misaki's case it's a little more murky because her actions were also to try make him depend on her, but the idea that "She's bad, because impure intentions" is stupid and I hate seeing anime constantly rehash that concept.

When a support character is a better version of MC yet he's denied love with one of the girl because that girl is supposed to be attracted to MC like every girls in the show.
