Common Tropes in Anime (that you would do away with)

I think there's some kind of miscommunication here. Charachters never change expressions in these shows? Is that what you're saying? I've seen a lot of shows, both popular and obscure, adn I've never seen one where a charachter never chagnes their expression, unless it's something intentional to make them seem more robotic(they usually are a robot/android in these cases), such as Yuki from Haruhi or Rei from Evangelion. Those two are charachters I've just realize never change their expressions, but its done on purpose.
 
You mean emotion? I thought we were saying that, when a character starts talking, the rest of their face (and sometimes body) go perfectly still and doesn't move, despite whether their displaying emotion like an angry or sad face. Like, only the mouth moves.
 
So you mean that the charachters always have a blank expression when talking? I still don`t understand.

Or do you mean that they don`t change expressions while talking? Unless people are being very emotional, I don`t think people change their expressions mid-sentance in real life either. Like, If I`m sayign somethign in anger, my face isn`t going to stop being angry and change to something else while I`m yelling.
 
More like the latter. Like, raising an eyebrow or something while talking. Or, if you were yelling at me, to use your example, you'd maybe widen your eyes at me and/or get right up in my face when emphasizing exactly why you're yelling at me.

I guess I can remeraber some anime shows do do that, but there are others that don't.
 
I think he means those shows that seem like wish-fulfillment settings. Like say, a harem anime or even something like Lucky Star. It stars some dork or geek that manages to get lucky or does things that are otherwise viewed as geeky in the real world.
