Constantly crimson red blushing girls who find every situation erabarrassing, whether it even really is or not. I personally think Karin/Chibi Vampire proves my point. I opened up a Chibi Vampire manga and all I saw was blushing on every page. |: Yeah, it's cute when it's... say, necessary.

Common Tropes in Anime (that you would do away with)
- Thread starter Summit
- Start date
It's something along those lines, but it's more like there are arrows swarming all over this one character where one is pointing to their fuzzy eyes saying: "Hasn't slept in two days" and another is pointing to their thin stomach where it says: "Living on nothing but gum" and another is pointing at their wet hair saying: "Gave in and took a bath in a nearby lake". Stuff like that where details on the side are kinda pointless because the reader can already get the idea of what happened by just looking at the way the character is drawn.

BTW is there an anime trope just called Sasuke Uchiha syndrome? Because I could live another day without that

I'm not wasting my time on TV Tropes to look up what I mean when I can just type it myself. And if I did, I rather explain them since I don't even know what people talk about in the first place when they bring that site up, and I know I'm not the only person on this site that thinks that.

I think that's just the Japanese facination with cuteness at work here.

How was her attitude a plot point again? I haven't watched the show in a while; so I'd appreciate it if you refreshed my memory.
Even so, after a while watching the show just aggravated me because she took abuse from EVERYONE (even her old hometown "friend" flew to the USA just to tell her how much she sucked!) for no reason at all and never seemed to be all that upset about it. She was so unnaturally calm and nice to her tormentors that part of me wondered if the show would end with her snapping and bringing an AK-47 to the circus.
I think Kalos from season 2 of Kaleido Star counts. He was a badass in season 1. But by season 2 he, and every other character on the show....

....were basically Leon's b*tches. LOL
Her attitude is the one thing Akito could never understand or control. Even when Akito lashes out and hurts Tohru, she still smiles and that infuriates Akito, because Akito has a God complex, and that snowballs with the other Zodiacs to take Tohru's side, etc. It also balances Kyo's extremely pessimestic personality.

My list is the same as this one. I'd like to add that a strong female character isn't a token lead girl who also serves as an romantic interest for the protaganist, quite often loses her temper and "comedically" hits every person in the room.
I will never understand the fascination with giant mecha. I've tried getting into many of the shows, but the only one I honestly liked was probably ZoiRAB. Everything else just seemed really overdramatic to enjoy.

I agree. It'd be nice to see a female in the lead for once (and written well and not eye-candy for men, I mean)
I enjoyed ZoiRAB (Chaotic Century, anyway, not Zero), though I don't consider ZoiRAB in the same category as giant super robots like Gundams. The Transformers are fine as well,mainly because they're actual characters and not just vehicles.

I'll probably change it.
EDIT: Well, too tell you the truth It was originally going to be this.
Are you tired of seeing the same old overrated fanservice in anime and manga today? Are you tire of hearing about it wherever you go? Are you tired of fanfreaks worshipping it to no end like it was Jesus Christ himself, scolding whoever says one thing against it, and bashing fiction not from Japan, especially USA's? Do you want to get away from it all?
Then come visit the ASF, where we protect and preserve western fiction and talk about the flaws and see the downsides of Japanese fiction. Oh, and don't let the name fool you. We like some of Japan's cartoons. Some of us like it before it was cool and popular and didn't have an ego.
But, do to limitness on the sig, I had to shorten it.

I wholeheartedly agree. I would like to see an anime that takes time to develop the relationship rather them be the "hitting" type or the "way too perfect to be real" type. (This is why "Cross Game" is awesome)
But...but it's giant robots...
Remeraber the song? "We dig giant robots, I dig giant robots, you dig giant robots, chicks dig giant robots."
I mean, chicks dig giant robots. How can you argue with that logic!?
(I'm joking about this of course)

A few tropes that I've noticed are:
Cars that unrealisticly turn 90 degree corners (Deathnote, Lupin III Fiat\2cv chase)
Unrealistic driving physics in serious animes (You can't go 60+ and drift about in a Model T!)
Nearly any car that corners HAS to drift (Deathnote, FMA, Lupin III)
Slow-Mo effects, these are okay sometimes.
Still vehicles with moving backgrounRAB, like old movies.
A cheap animation technique where grass or the background may move while a character walks in place, sometimes this is okay but in an episode One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist 3 it looked bad, its a technique to avoid plus mouth flapping dosen't look as fake.
Puppy eyes, but thats a given with most animes
Rock music for intros
Robots, but thats not a bad thing.
Teenaged males as main characters that often have dreams like "I want to be king of the pirates!", "I want to be the best doctor in the world", "I'm going to be a Pokemon master!", "I'm going to be the best racer in the world someday!", "I'm going to be a Hokage!", and "I want to be the best sworRABman ever!".

Thing is, alot of the shonen series are escapist fantasy for kiRAB. They're not being written for 20 year old guys sitting at their computer waiting for the new scanlation chapter to come out. KiRAB do spend alot of time saying 'When I grow up, wanna be...". Those kind of stories indulge that mentality, which is good. Might not hold up to an older audience but it's not meant to. You don't see me comparing the Beano's Dennis the Menace to views on antisocial behaviour as seen in A Clockwork Orange.
Something I've noticed, though, is that taking out the calling out of attack names removes a lot of the 'life' out of the fights. I mean, it's really all more for style and presentation than anything. That's like saying you should take out transformation sequences because in real life no one would let them finish. You lose a lot when you try to go for 'realism'. I mean, these are kiRAB shows after all. What's Bleach without "Ban...kai!"
As long as it stays in shounen, I really don't see the problem. When Revy starts shouting "BULLET BARRAGE!" or Guts calls out "HACK AND SLASH!" then we can talk.
