Anime Question

What annoys you the most about anime?

I have no doubt that everybody on this club loves anime ( as do I ) but sometimes there is something in a show that ANNOYS YOU to NO END, like a certain character type, or a overused plot device, etc.. And I want to know what that is .... please :3
*
I don't really know. I really love anime but there are quite a few things that bother me, but I can't name any them. xD

I dislike how some series use fanservice to attract audiences.
I also dislike how in harem/reverse harem series, they usually make the main fairly bland.

I agree with that. >.< One of the things that kind of bother me about anime is the over-sexualization of a lot of the girls, but then again you get used to it. It's a big part of anime.

-Fillers
-Characters that are "made of wood" In other words: they don't have much any kind of personality, nor anything that makes them even slightest bit unique. They just randomly pop up, just to either admire, look up for the main character or try to beat them, but always end up failing easily.
-Main characters that are super weak, and always need to be saved by someone. (It had be even more annoying if this character is loved by his/her saviors. And super, duper, hyper annoying if they are girly, scary-cats, or repeat a lot of meaningless"uhm..." "eh.." "ugh.." "Sorry..." "Hm..")
-Main characters that are over powered, and never lose. Sheesh, they can lose! Even once.
-Story line that doesn't really teach anything. (Might sound weird..., but if it's only for entertainment, it's nothing, but a waste of time. Don't get me wrong: comedy and such are fun, but if there is nothing happening. Just ecchi scenes where boobs are bouncing and girls screaming.... no thank you.)
-Overall over sexual people.
-Stereotypes...
-Ships were two characters are forced be together and fall in love
-Blushing 24/7 (it's cute, but doing if doing it too much..)
-People who have utter sad past and constantly whine over it
-People who have utter sad past, but they don't show anything that relates to it. (Like a girl who's dad raped her, before dying, but now acts all naïvely and sweetly, goes fall in love with bad boys and doesn't seem to have any kind of traumas from past)

So yeah, couple of things...~
-Oh, and those who can never stand up for themselves, or are simply weak and yet look down and the ones whom are stronger then they. (Show some respect)

Yes, I agree so much with you! Even though I like some sad and dramatic people here and there. X'D Their sadness makes me glad I'm not them.

If its a short show i dont mind if they're long but if the show is really long and the transformations get repeated like a billion times it does get really annoying if theyre too long i agree.

^Since I read the manga it wasn't a problem. However I did watch a little bit of Sailor Moon before giving up because of the annoying transformations =,= and the same thing over and over again

The thing that annoys me the most about anime is some of the fans. Not all, but certain parts of different fan bases. That's the number one thing.

Other than that I sometimes dislike how the main in action anime get's godlike powers compared with everyone else. It's not always bad if the rest of the story/characters are good, but it often turns me off of an anime.

I also hate how people in some anime always get very horribly wounded constantly and nobody (or hardly anyone) ever dies. It's not very suspenseful or thrilling if you know that no matter how badly someone gets hurt the good guys never die (for good).

Occasionally the characters will ruin a series for me, because I feel that the characters and their development (or lack thereof) are the most important factor in determining how good an anime is. A subpar, cliche plot may not necessarily ruin a show (for me) if the characters are good. Usually though, I just find some of the mains boring. It's rare that a main character by him/herself will irritate me to the point of not liking a show.

There are a few more things, but the're relatively minor.

One rule of Anime: Main chara will most likely get into deadly situations, but is apparently NEVER able to die.
Cutepet87 posted over a year ago

Well usually the main character doesn't die. But in anime like Bleach where hardly any of the main characters die no matter how badly injured they get. That's what I meant by that.
Dewheart posted over a year ago

That's also not really the one rule of anime. That's more like the rule of mainstream shounen anime.

@Cutepet I don't know about that. I've seen a handful of anime where the mc dies.

Well, usually I prefer watching anime in English dub because I can understand it better that way so it really annoys me when I come across an amazing anime but it has a horrible dub~

I also don't like some anime fans. It really bothers me when I see people who are obsessed and in love with the country of Japan, but they are just because of anime and nothing else and don't even know anything about it beyond that. I mean, I do love anime, but it does not nearly represent the beauty of that nation. Japan has an incredible history, language, culture, ect. and I think it's awful to love a whole nation solely for just that~

I also don't like how some fans will go crazy and start flaming whenever someone states that they don't like anime~ I personally think anime is one of the most amazing things ever, but it's not for everyone and the fans need to understand that.

I also hate how some animes will have an amazing plot but are so full of fanservice and ecchi to lure fans in that it just ruins everything ~

That's all I can think of for now.

To be honest, a lot of the fans.
Especially people who call themselves an "otaku" and always say stuff is "kawaii".
That annoys me SO much.

Well i know there are people here that do that so nothing against you as people but it really does annoy me.

And the other thing would be the ridiculous amounts of fanservice in some shows.

OMG the fans thing! THAT IS SOO TRUE!!!! so many times, I am with a anime loving friend and all she talks about is how 'kawaii' this is and how 'kawaii' that is and her favorite 'kawaii' dress and .....-_- its like the only word they even know in japanese is 'kawaii', and they only thing that they know about Japan is anime and people who are like 'IM A TOTAL OTAKU!!" when that is widely regarded a really bad thing in Japan.... so yeah i agree with u :p

laughinghyena omg i could not agree with you more about the cartoon thing. I do not understand how some people get so pissed off and go on rants about how anime is better than cartoons (or vice versa, whatever) cause they are literally the same thing, just one is produced in japan... which doesnt change what it is.

Cutepet87 said:
I have some.
1: Stereotypes that all anime has everyone screaming and stupid stuff like DragonBall.
2: Fanpairings that don't make sense / aren't shown in anime. (ex. Sakura x Itachi from Naruto)
3: DUBS. No offense, but some of the dubbers sound like they are trying too hard, and that makes them sound amateurish.
4: Sakura from Naruto. She stinks, then nags Naruto for how "bad" he does.
Jeez.

i agree with you about the dubs. genereally i NEVER watch dubs because i just think the VA's are trying WAAAYY to hard to match up the originial character and most of the time they cant, so i think they should just portray the character in a way that would suit the language more but I dont think that happens much but... whatever. some dubs are pretty good :)
animegurl235 posted over a year ago

Yeah, but I actually like watching dubs though because I like understanding what they're saying without having to look at the bottom of the screen. But I do like subs too. And I agree that it does get really annoying when English dubbers try too hard to have a "cute" squeaky voice. -_-

That's what turned me off about that show. I thought it was going to be a really awesome zombie anime, but it basically only focuses on fanservice.

I admire Anime an awful lot, but if I there's one thing that does bother me it's the fact that there has to be a lot of "panyshots" and "ecchi" content in certain shows. I am aware though it's what makes Anime for what it is, but sometimes scenes and moments like that drive me crazy and I am not a fan of situations like that.

Agreed. It's alright for girls to show some cleavage here and there during the series and I'm completely fine with that, but to SOLELY focuss on that the entire show is just ridiculous! I mean seriously... just call it hentai, 'cause that's basically what it is.

^I'm not a fan of excessive fanservice either, but there's a big difference between ecchi and hentai.

I don't like the way that, in a lot of shoujos, the main character is always pretty but ditsy, overly innocent and naïve, and cannot stand up for herself or deal with her own problems without some 'mysterious' boy to rescue her. It would be nice if, for a change, there was a shoujo main who was strong and well capable of caring for herself, and perhaps isn't quite so sickeningly girly as some are...

That used to bother me a lot too but now i've kinda grown to like the innocent naive main characters with a big heart.... I still find it annoying if they cant stand up for themselves but I like it if they seem innocent and naive and then end up having a strong personality underneath that.
bubblegum_kiss posted over a year ago

Yeah, some are nice, and they do have personality; Tohru Honda is a nice girl in general, and I must say despite her girliness I did snigger at Usagi in the first chapter I read of the Sailor Moon manga. But I'd quite like to see some different mains too, as there just seem to be quite a lot of those characters from what I've seen.

well, Kaichou wa maid sama doesn't have a ditzy main chara. I knowe what you mean, but Kaichou really is awesome and doesn't follow that stereotype.
