What's the most used cliche in all anime?

Teenage protagonist.

'An average high school student'...

Animation.

Parents both gone overseas

Tsundere girl is getting fed warm milk by bottle because her mom isn't feeding her properly but they never depict the bottle having an airhole to cover in order for the milk to flow steadily like a vacuum, as it would with real breasts.

I hate immersion breaking ones like that, it doesn't vent make sense.

Main girl is pure.

main character is transported into another world

Usual Japanese Schoolkid as the MC. Virgin and afraid of girls

Female characters hitting/abusing main male character.

door locks doesn't exist

That's not a cliche; most interior doors don't have locks in Japan unless it's a newer construction or you put them in yourself.

Student Council President has the power to impose martial law guaranteed by the Diet.

That

A truly average high school student is pretty rare.
Super special ancestry secret powers destined for greatness high school student who thinks he is an average one however is pretty common.

High School MC who sits in the row near the windows, second from the back

It would be funny if for once they had this happen and the girl character farted.

MC gropes girl on accident.

>MC gropes tsundere girl in magical school by accident, she practically runs the place and challenges MC to duel

>he somehow wins and she ends up being his slave

>more girls show up over the next few episodes and same shit happens to them too until harem is completed

MC has chronic diarrhea and dies from dehydration just as he's about to win best girl.

Anime characters being white

Running in the OP

kids and teens are always better than adults

not being good

Giving me herpes.

Can't beat this

Best girl doesn't win.

>What's the most used cliche in all anime?
girl punch boy in the face - funny
boy punch girl in the face - EVIL

but what if girl(male) punches boy(female) in the face?

IT'S THE WAY THAT YA LIKE TO BEEEE

...

Parents are dead overseas.

90% of modern anime use this

"cute girls doing cute things" is used a lot too

But then there are a few different ones that are about an average college student who basically looks the same as anime high school students. Or average cakes that look the same as high school students.

>Due to some reason the MC trips
>Falls hands/face first into girl's bossom
>Some comment on how it feels soft, like he fell on a pillow/he squeezes
>He looks up to see an angry/disgusted/scared woman
>Camera pans up
>KYAAAAAAA~
>Loud smacking sound

Just for once I'd like to see one where the MC explains it was an accident and a slightly flustered female lead says "It's fine, but don't do that again!"

to be honest, highschool theme is being dominant in these last decade.

Maybe it has something to do with escapism and that modern otakus are nostalgic about their highschool days.

Humans.

"draw a girl, call it a boy"

Accidental boob grab surely, And it's easily the worst one.

Drop worthy if a show uses that to open up an episode.

boy meets girl

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

I don't see why an otaku would be nostalgic about their high school career, since they were probably lonely and bullied in high school, too. I'm sure the main reason a high school setting is so prominent is because most anime viewers in Japan are in high school or, if they're not, then most everybody went to high school and can relate to the characters to some degree.

Fast pan up to the sky while everyone says "WHAAAAAAT!?"

>I don't see why an otaku would be nostalgic about their high school career
If I can give my own personal perspective without being berated for "blogposting", I consider high school the best period in my life. I wasn't exactly popular, but I had a small group of friends (mostly because in high school you're constantly forced to hang out with other people so you almost automatically make friends) and had a purpose in life. Especially after graduating from university I've felt directionless and alone (though I'd consider this the second best period in my life, if only due to the large degree of freedom).

I imagine a lot of otaku feel the same. They long for the simple days when you had a clear long-term goal, clear expectations and always had at least one or two people willing to hang out with you. Especially when you consider that in Japanese high schools, clubs are a big deal so you always end up with a little "nakama".

And let's not forget that high school is where most people get their first touch of love, which in the eyes of a lot of people is a big deal. A lot of otaku feel like they're "too late" for romance (because all the women worth dating are already taken and sometimes even married), so they long back to the days of high school when finding your future wife while she was still pure and virginal was still an option.

In short, high school is where you discover who you are and what you want to do with life. A lot of otaku feel like they were somehow cheated out of that opportunity, so they compensate with escapism. This is also why in anime, a lot of "high schoolers" behave like adults: to an extent, they behave the same way many Otaku wished they had behaved back then. Or maybe I'm just projecting.

>they were probably lonely and bullied in high school

that's the point, they want to recreate those days by being awesome or doing something out of this world.

> I'm sure the main reason a high school setting is so prominent is because most anime viewers in Japan are in high school or, if they're not, then most everybody went to high school and can relate to the characters to some degree.

There is shonen and shoujo, sure. But there is anime/manga aired to adult males or females that still use the highschool theme.

Running with toast in mouth

>I'm just projecting.

I like your explanation. And yeah, that's the point of anime/manga/comics/videogames, self insert hard so you get hook up and keep buying stuff.

Unable to confess

hand bleeds

>A boy falls in love with a girl.
>Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number.

being hungry and loud rumbling from stomach as something embarrassing

...

I don't mind this cliché because it makes sense and you don't really notice it unless you pay active attention to it. Even then, it doesn't really change anything about the plot.

It also makes a lot of sense because it's relatively far from the teacher, allowing more plot-relevant events and conversations to take place.
