what grinds your gears in anime?

[Kyle Nuva]

characters are stupid, slow, forgetful and blind at the worst times

they forget they have powers

the strongest may be an idiot, looking at you jojo and many more

yelling for no reason, not when they are angry but just yelling

brain dead clueless when a monster is right there but thinking its a harmless pet
that was a cat but its true form is a dog. looking at you, magic knights rayearth

asspull powers

plot armor

friendship is magic, oh the villains have friends? tough ♥♥♥♥, you dont get that benefit. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

powers, level ups and transformations NOT EARNED BUT GIVEN BECAUSE GOTTA MAKE IT BABY MODE FOR A MAGICAL GIRL ANIME

false transformations, i didnt see her sword change at all, instead it grew two more inches. lame

when a character or thing exists that can do everything but stop the enemy........

characters speaking in riddles

having no reaction, ♥♥♥♥ and late to super late

recaps and recaps in every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ episode

flash backs, flashbacks in flashbacks and filler

99% of anime sucks these days there have been maybe only 3 modern day animes that I've enjoyed, it mostly comes down to this:
-Needless fanservice episodes/moments, sure we can get fanservice from time to time but if the entire anime is just boobs and butts then yeah, no.
-Annoying characters that a lot of people like for some reason, my examples are Chika Fujiwara and Kanna Kamui.
-Dumb plot, guy getting sent to a girls-only school etc.
-Every show has filler episodes but anime is where it happens the most.
-Obnoxious fandom, say one bad thing about their "waifu" who looks 5 y.o but is actually 65406045 in dog years or some ♥♥♥♥ I don't care and they'll come to your house with pitchforks and torches.
-Strong plot armor you've mentioned, I think JoJo is the only anime where they aren't afraid to kill off a likeable character.
-Women getting overly sexualized, you can create an attractive female heroine or a character without making her too sexualized but in anime that's just not possible.
-Moments that would just have a 1 in million chance of happening, guy bumping into a girl and when he falls he accidentally grabs her boobs woow she calls him a pervert so funny..

Anime don't grind my gears. That's too lewd.

Jk. I just drop it. Why keep watching inferior anime?

[Xero_Daxter]

When the villain talks too much giving the hero enough time to save the day.

Girls who get changed in the open where they can be seen then attack a dude for accidentally seeing her.

Guys who have a girl literally rubbing against him and coming onto him strong and not knowing what her deal is and says, "She can't possibly like me that way" lol bro come on.

yeah.. anime girls are evil ♥♥♥♥♥.

Not an anime complaint since I really just read these days but most shonen manga I’ve read just has awful pacing. It’s hard to even follow what’s happening sometimes. Seeing some random attack name and a couple really busy panels just doesn’t work in my head. Idk if it’s just me or what.

jojo 8 and bleach were a pain

It's especially related to fantasy themed animes, but generally speaking.. How they scream before they do something.
I just can't take it.. So I completely mute or lower the volume as to find it bearable..

Then, the character obsession over one another. That's just too unrealistic and makes no sense to me.
Somebody's got superpowers that could come in handy if they were to get into relationship with them? Fair, but get real.. Why'd ever such a person be interested in them?
It's as if they were all unable to come to terms with the reality (within the fictional reality according to the story) and accept it..


There're a few more things that I would wanna nitpick, but even I'm aware of how controversial and inappropriate they might be to mention, let alone talk about, and so that's pretty much it for the time being.
Perhaps, I'll add some more during the day..

or having powers is the problem in the relationship

When the anime changes studio and downgrade the anime's artstyle and atmosphere.

When the anime skips the best ark or stop getting a continuation because the studio couldn't handle the source material.

When a masterpiece is left unfinished due to studio getting bankrupt or the bad treatment of the writer.

When the game's pv trailer animations is better than the official anime adoption.

ouch

Dragging. One Piece is the worst example I can think of, its not that story is a drag, far from it, its the anime that tries to not catch up completely with a manga while remaining a weekly show.



Scenes drag unnecessarily long, nothing important happens, characters run like they're in a planet sized building and talk about things I've already seen and know, its actually unwatchable. x2 speed is an absolute necessity, and even with it being twice as fast it feels like a drag.

one piss is all filler

theres more to life than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boobs

i hate brats and evil females

no plots either

or the smallest one is a brat

well some deaths are bs in jojo. ceaser and zipley. next time a old man says yous gonna die? ♥♥♥♥ him. you choose your life, not some monk ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

its never funny seeing males get abused because females only ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ think we are nothing but perverts... :/

[I'm_Tired]

The main shounen character that gets all nervous, sweaty and cut off when the girl he knows is interested in him.

That ♥♥♥♥ is annoying and ruins it when you really want them to be together.

[Sigma957]

Characters are all starting to look the same. Except in certain shows.

Also generic looking GUNDAMs that looked slapped together (and where the hell are their feet). Also fights go on way too long (Dragonball syndrome).

Funny thing about that. Anime that try to stray from the tropes don't do as well with the core anime fans but anime that do stray from the tropes do better with people who don't hate anime but watch it sometimes. So there's more money to make in troping but it does create a samey feeling for sure.

[Chuuya Nakahara]

-I hate fan service.
-The ♥♥♥♥♥♥ whiny females annoy me.
-Overly using sexual jokes or sexualizing characters too damn much.

The list goes on. Its probably why I have drifted from anime and rarely find any that peak my interest. Too much same old recipie tropes used in majority of anime.
