Also the epic ruseman that has a dumb plan that only works due to contrivanes.

>several episodes later
>just kidding, they are fine
Anthony Fisher
>best friend character is either a spaz that creeps out every woman he meets or a faggot
>other than the main character every other character is female
>literally only happens so the self insert herbivore male protag has no completion for the ladies
Especially in series where haremshit isn't the main focus.

Shut the fuck up.

Clannad is a shit example of that. All of the girls had one issue or another and Tomoya adopted them all.

>Fights are often about technique and strategy at the start.
>Author isn't creative enough to keep the momentum.
>Last quarter or so becomes pure power level wank with constant asspulls and powerups.

is it a common thing in Japan for little kids to call strangers big brother or sister?

Creepy.
Justin Young
That's literally what a slice of life is, retard.
Samuel Torres
>either everyone is dead by the end or no one dies or gets hurt at all and survive shit no one else would
I'm fine with characters dying, it just gets tiresome and repetitive when everyone is dead by the end of the series.
Evan Martin
>episode ends on cliffhanger
>next one starts with a flashback
isn't exclusive to anime, but i still hate it nonetheless
Jayden Clark

You want K-on the be 800 episodes 60 percent of which is them sleeping / doing chores?

i try to avoid watching previews just because of spoilers.
Joseph Lewis

What a good feeling.

Fucker I live in Eastern Jersey and it still takes me 2 hours to hit the shore (though 30% of that is traffic), land masses are fucking big
Ryan Murphy
Or this but the MC is a spaz that creeps out all the ladies and despite knowing this he still does it anyway. Remind why do people like konosuba again, I've been reading the LN but kazuma's constant fuck ups are rage inducing.
Ryder Davis
THIS
THIS IS THE FUCKING WORST
It's worse when the girl is disliked (GEE MAYBE NOT MAKE THE OBVIOUS WINNER ANNOYING AS SHIT) and so the Author has to fucking drag the other female characters through the mud and humiliate them. SOMETIMES PUBLICLY
If you're a writer and so many people are vehemently against your character maybe A. Don't fucking start your main female lead off as unlikable and understand the basic fucking concept of first impressions, or B. Have her develop WITHOUT FUCKING OVER THE OTHER CAST AND SEE MAYBE IF NOW PEOPLE WILL LIKE HER MORE BEFORE GETTING MAD AT YOUR OWN FUCKING CHARACTERS
FUCK ROMANCE AND HAREM WRITERS, FUCK JAPANESE CONVENTIONS, FUCK *ALL OF IT*
Daniel Rogers
Yes
Gavin Garcia
Who was it?

What's so bad about this?
Jose Martinez

This line is in every god damn anime
Andrew Stewart
>MC is has large harem
>is absolutely clueless about them having feelings for him
That guy from Infinite Stratos is more dense than fucking osmium
Ethan Johnson
How about the fact that previews exist to begin with. I never want to see a preview in my life. What the fuck is their purpose?
Juan Long
>Or this but the MC is a spaz that creeps out all the ladies and despite knowing this he still does it anyway
Urusei Yatsura is the absolute fucking worst at this shit.

Fucking Kill la Kill.

KOTH is anime though.

Adam Rogers
God fucking dammit, this drives me up the wall. You already get the spotlight for the rest of the series, you attention whore. Let the B-lister have his moment!
