ITT: Anime cliches you love.

Zany gaijin doing zany things.

When a serious or action-focused show does an episode where the characters just do mundane things.

>Character doing something embarrassing in public
>"Mom, what's that man / woman doing?"
>"Don't look at him/her"

The silly guy who is hyper-competent when he gets serious.

>show does something completely dumb
>character in the show breaks 4th wall for a second to joke about how dumb it was

>First and best antagonist becomes friends with MC
>Helps defeat the less liked second antagonist
>Anime's OP or ED plays during the final fight

>mc is super edgy
>heroine is genki and always smile
>journey together through thick and thin
>mc start to open his heart and slowly becomes kind

>protag blacks out
>gets a power up and enrages

I mark out every time.

> Everyone is in love with the protagonist.
> And by everyone, I mean everyone.

the low health/berserker/rage power up
just something about being down but not out

>Mc and antagonist run out of power
>Resort to fighting barehanded

...

>Usual moralfags witnesses one of their allies die/or thinks they have died
>Suddenly they lose their shit and go mad

>mc has love interest with girl
>isn't a fag and actually makes moves on said girl

>Childhood friends!

>Bitchy tsunderes who turn out alright

>MC has something he is fighting for that isn't due to some random bullshit event that happened when he was like 5

Best
Partially related: when the fox eyes character opens eyes. Doesn't matter what's the context.

>MC gets an upgraded mecha for the second half / last third of the story

genuine friendship

>MC manages to beat a stronger opponent by using brains

>MC is overpowered
Come on, let's not pretend we didn't enjoy Onii sama, guys.

>Duel between two characters with extremely similar abilities/the exact same ability

Guns not being particularly effective in the universe.

>MC who doesn't give a shit but is op

>Draw a Girl
>Call it a Boy

>Character goes berserker on the enemy after being triggered hard

>Draw boy
>Call it a girl

> Girls

>In the middle of the fight character manages to understand his/her opponent's special technique and develops his/her own, albeit weaker or unstable, version.

>girl has generic yamato nadeshiko hair
>cuts it for character development
I'm so lucky that I find shortish hair on girls aesthetically appealing.

>Super natural powers
>Power system
>No stupid bullshit like fairytale

>MC with a weaker power manages to beat an enemy with far greater power because he knows how to use his ability better

>MC is losing against the final boss
>-i want to protect that smile-
>full_power.exe

most chuuni thread ive seen in a while

>jerk with a heart of gold
>pic unrelated

Stupid reaction faces. I seriously can't get enough of it regardless what the show is about.

If the series is shit but has good reaction images, i am in.

>Something serious happens to MC
>Changes his character for the rest of the story

>MC goes berserker and kills everything even his friends

>Imouto

>MC gets an upgraded mecha at the last minute and it solves everything in the last third of the final episode of a relatively long-running series

Delinquent protagonists. So common back in the day, and now they're all gone.

>MC actually fucks his/her crush BEFORE the ending/final arc

The fuck do you think cliche means nigger.

>something physical happens to a character
>sticks with the character design the rest of the series

That dynamic always gets me.

>MC actually fucks his sister before the ending/final arc

How is that good?

They're fun, unless it happens constantly, because then the effect is lost.
Although, if it does happen constantly it's fine if the style is consistent, like in GTO, or that they're not completely over the top.

I GET MORE POWERFUL WHEN IM IN A PINCH

>The enemy throws lightning fast punches and kicks and the MC somehow dodges them all
>MC then throws one punch and it hits the enemy directly the first time and knocks them out

You probably love Prison School and GTO

I tend to enjoy 4th wall breakages, especially in shows that don't do them very much or have never done them before. Like Jotaro just casually mentioning being the Main character in Stardust, or characters who mention episodes.

>main character is taken on by former expert who is now a shadow of their former glory, only for MC to eventually surpass them

>MC actually gets bloody fatigued and worn out during fights
>even is in the hospital after fights

Sakamoto, desu ga?

>Sports anime/manga
>character enters "The Zone"

I unironically love romantic arcs where the couple doesn't get together until the very end and might not even kiss after that.

>Final fight in the last episode has the opening theme playing. Bonus points if it's the first opening theme if there are more than one.

>edgy asshole gets hit with massive amounts of suffering until they break and become better
>weak ass bitch gets hit with massive amounts of suffering until they break, change their hair/clothing and become a stone cold badass

the best

>Early Gash Bell

>serious fight
>fight is done in black and white

>MC is not a dense virgin and actually scores girls and fucks them sometimes

Oh, who am I kidding? No such thing exists in japland.

>insert track is only used for one scene in the entire series (at least, in full)
>it's the best part of the OST by far

>silly character leitmotif is done in an epic, sweeping orchestra style for their best moment

Probably not exactly what you had in mind but he counts.

Not exactly what I had in mind but a breath of fresh air nonetheless.

Grisaia has that

That type of MC is just another self-insert. Get over yourself.

I often feel emberassed about how chuuni my taste is
>Well written and thoroughly followed power systems
Nen in Hunter x Hunter made my dick ascend to the heavens
>"Edgy" Self sacrifice power mechanics / Characters persevering through pain
E.G. when Deku does literally anything, Gon vs Pitou
>When a Main charachters Loses the smile he wanted to protect and goes berserk

You say that about every MC.

>self-insert

Nice meme.

>joke character is actually THE FUCKING STRONG

Yes, I'm a structuralist.

Prison School is ok.
GTO is great now that we have scans that are actually good and not fucking blue all over the place.

>not fucking blue all over the place
Hold on, seriously?

Shit nigger. The zone is the worst fucking thing in all of sprots manga or anime.

I didn't mind the basketball superpowers or the zone, but I hated how they just declared "Yeah, some people can't do it".

Emo hairbangs guy deserved better.

Yes. Good scans for the entire series are finaly scaned.

That fucking blue combined with awful translation killed the manga a bit for me the first time i read it. Really glad i re-read it with good scans.

Look at this fucking bullshit. This is the only scan that was bellow the early Berserk scans. Thank fucking god for that Tokyo pop torrent that was scanned.

>not liking the Zone
>not sharing your Zone with your teammates
Also, Baby Steps and Yowamushi did it right.

KnB was trash.

no u

The zone was not bad in pedal, but the show was not that good anyway.

>I bike to once a week a long distance, and a decent distance every day.
>Magicaly beats people who have been serious about the sport for at least 2 years due to nakama power.

If the MC wasn't such a piece of shit i would have enjoyed it way than i did. Still need to finish season 2.

I'm so glad they translated the !

>dramatic scene
>credits and end theme start playing in the background while the scene continues
>episode ends at the height of tension

Nothing makes me want to see the next episode more than this

>beach episode
>test of courage episode

Fuck you, Nisio.

>Still need to finish season 2.
you are in for a ride *badum tss*
New Ride is also good and shit is going to go down soon.

>parodies of other anime and Western films

>Joker/Easy Going character whose eyes are always closed suddenly opens them

>Japanese teenager is the protagonist.
>There is always a gang of horn dogs trying to lead random girls who are waiting for their friends away for rape in public.
>MC doesn't just fuck the girls who want to fuck him.

>The final fight has no music and it's sketchy black and white
>Whole story takes place in the spawn of a night
>Attacks break the ground
>MC desintegrates himself in the final attack

>dream sequence where the MC experiences a life where he had made a radically different decision and wonders about what would've happened afterward
>realizes midway through that the decision he made was the right one and tears apart the illusion

what
how is that a cliche

>Mc has fire/red abilities etc
>piece of shit underdog mc I can self insert into
>badass boss rush

>MC that's a normal human with no special powers that fights against monsters and demons and wins

>MC is a weak character but passionate
>Works hard to progress
>Doesn't magically beat characters who are far more experienced/skilled even with nakama powers.
Which is why I love Sesuji wo Pin to

>>badass boss rush
This always gets me, it's so good.

>pacifist faggot mc gets the fuck beat out of him by ubermensch antagonist and never recovers
