A date episode
Cicdas aren't really a cliche though, if you're outside in a temperate climate it's usually loud as fuck with insects, especially at night.
I guess putting emphasis on them is a cliche.
>he thinks it's a "practice date"
>she thinks it's real
That's true. First time I watched EVA I thought that they were actually outside and not in the tv. Turned out to be both. That was very confusing.

...
Everyone or almost everyone falling upside down when one character does something stupid.

Some cheese lines about the guy being ok with flat chest if it it belongs to the love interest.
>friends turning into enemies
>enemies turning into friends
>girl hears it and gets mad
>insults or punches the guy
>blushes afterwards
>girl pretends to be a clumsy airhead but is actually a scheming, mischievous wench
Guy walks in while girl is naked/half naked
Girl challenges him in a duel

Guy wins or the duel ends with draw
Guy saves the girl.
Girl falls in love with the guy.

>popular girly gal has secret otaku hobbies
>loser MC whose only strength is incredibly strong willpower
>lazy, lazy Sensei
>delinquent is actually the nicest person ever, they're just misunderstood because of rough look/personality

MADA MADA.
I love that cliche.
>lively girl feels up shy girl's boobs in the locker room
>girl acts like an old pervert in general
>delinquent wears geta, has a rope for a belt and talks in kansai dialect
>delinquent is actually the nicest person ever, they're just misunderstood because of rough look/personality
The ones I think of of the top of my hat are Toradora and that shitty OVA with the chunni who said the MC was a king.
Both did this delinquent is nice thing terribly.
What anime did it right?
Ippo maybe?
>there's no opening to indicate shit is going down this episode
As for actual in-story cliches
>butt monkey gets his serious scene or episode that is not played for laughs later
>character that has his eyes closed all the time opens them
none
Someone should edit that so the falling dollars have laughing Lupin faces on them
>dollars
>long-forgotten plot points are now relevant in the final fight
>MC and Group beats up some Villian
>The true antagonist shows up
>Whoops their ass in 5 seconds without even trying
>Bonus points even he actually kills one of the good guys
>Negative points if he let's them live because omoshiroi
I haven't watched Lupin in forever I don't remember if the episode takes place in Japan or not.
There, banknotes, are you happy?
>MC's hyped-as-hell overpowered weapon backfires/is destroyed

Tomboyish girls.
>OP updates
>fatherly/motherly mentor does good
>Normal human can punch through walls and be a badass.
>cybernetic enhancements that make you stronger
>losing all hope, when help suddenly arrives and the MC kicks ass.
Self-sacrifice, but only when done right. far too many times is treated lightly, which completely ruins the purpose
also
>Character keeps fighting even after receiving several serious wounds that actually reduce his capacities
This one. Man when I heard the OP start I knew it was gonna be cool.
Don't watch if you intend to watch Jojo any time soon.
running girl toast
Now that's some really shitty gif you have there.
>there's a rival MC fought against and either barely lost to or barely beat
>MC goes through big training arc
>comes back and absolutely annihilates the rival like it was nothing
Always gets my blood pumping
That's always great
What is Moomintroll doing in that gif?
post better wanker
>main characters dance in the ED
>apparent generic background character that turns out to be important later on, maybe even becoming part of the main cast
>mooks are competent and pose a constant threat throughout the entire show as they aren't BTFO in one hit

>Tall misunderstood girl who secretly loves cute things and wants to be girly
>Blonde haired foreigner asks protagonists directions in not Japanese, language barrier hijinx ensue
>Female delinquent with a deredere side

>Protag is insanely dense (I don't care, I love it)

Texhnolyze did this wonderfully.
>extremely manly man that's super serious and quiet all the time.
>they secretly love girly things

>rival pops in and blocks like it's nothing
>hey, looking bad there small fry
>it's a beach episode
>Basara's song play anytime the captain has his car's radio on in Macross Frontier
Only good thing about that shitshow
>grew up in a literal house in the middle of the woods
>literal months where there would not be a single SECOND of ANY day without the constant SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>relate to cicada anime on the deepest personal level
The only time this was ever good was at TTGL ep6
Didn't it happen on Samurai Champloo?
I think for Michiko Hachin too
Early Manglobe stuff, I guess
>cicadas got into the basement
>couldn't fucking find them because they shut up when you get near
thank god winter came
>MC and love interest get together early on, with relatively little relationship drama
Thank you Ore Monogatari
>they spent years maturing inside the earth only to leave, get stuck in your basement and freeze to death without ever accomplishing their goal of passing on their genes
>kissu at the end
yet so many series fuck it up
how hard is it

That hurt to read.
Dostedt?

>all the MC's are female and they sing the OP/ED together
