Geez, a lot of animes are guilty of all of this. XD It wipes out many ideas for animes.

xDD True it does. But while they could use a basic overused concept the makers can put a new twist on it but many creators choose not to. Technically just about every basic story has been done but you can always put new ideas in old stories. xD

Personally, i get really tired of the ecchi all the time. As a fellow girl, i dont get much excitement from a flash of panties, or too much cleavage. I know that most anime is made by guys, but mostly girls watch it (this is nothing against the guys, but it is true there are more girl otaku than guys) plus, i really do wonder if anime girls get cold sometimes, because some dont wear enough clothing.

You're wrong. There's a ton of guy otakus in fact. It's probably around the same as females. Males are not a minority in otakus. In fact most of the time stereotypical "a guy" is the otaku and you think of an male otaku first but that isn't to say that aren't tons of female fans but females do not overrun the otakus.

She's not really wrong actually. Maybe considering "Otaku" types the genders might be even but anime has more female viewers than males.

^Um no she isn't right. There's not more girls or more guys. It's about even. Stereotypical a guy is seen as otaku. But there are tons of girls. The number is even. Especially in Japan.

Anyway the anime viewers amount is even as well. It's about even. Go to forum. I can show you sites upon aites where your and her notion is wrong. There are not more girl anime watchers than guys. It's even.

don't like ecchi... so when i watched HOTD (Highschool of the dead) i just thought it ruined everything.
since i'm a girl i don't usually take notice when panties show a little somewhere but when it happens all the time & a lot it gets pretty annoying... HOTD would've been such a great anime without the ecchi.

and in the beginning of Fairy Tail i think they use "wierd" & "funny" faces a lot. i usually think it's funny but when it's almost as much of those faces as the original ones i get tired of watching them.
luckily i think they took it down a little... or i just got used to it.

i agree about HOTD, tits an ass in an anime dont usually bother me but it got to where it was interfering with the coolness of the series i even had guys say they wish it would just get back to the zombies lol

Glad to see I'm not the only one who dislikes this. Too much ecchi and "funny" faces get really, really boring after a while.

In most animes, such as One Piece, it seems like all they say is "I'm a Rubberman!" or something like that whenever they fight. YES LUFFY, WE KNOW YOU'RE A RUBBERMAN.

Hentai stuff :I
plus in hentai animes the guy ALWAYS freaks out when he's faced with a big breasted beauty and the big breasted beauties ALWAYS misjudge the situation and think he's done something perverted. And he ALWAYS is unabled to tell them the truth -_-

The hyperactive, boisterous, brawn-before-brains main character... Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo, Natsu, Inuyasha.... Overused but I actually don't mind it; I love those characters :D.

One thing I DO mind though is the useless girl characters... Sakura, Orihime, Lucy, Kagome (at least, at first they're all useless; some become less useless... but still pretty useless all the same)

The calling out attacks thing was good to mention. I mean seriously how do you expect to beat someone if you're constantly telling them your next move?

Anyways the one thing a lot of animes that have males (not just main character males either) give the males a superior role and it's annoying. It's like if the main character is female and there's a male side character the male character will do/say something that overrides the main female character and it's really aggravating. If he's not the main character he's not the main character simple as that.

Fight scenes are also overrated and over done. I don't mind a good fight scene as long as I can't predict the ending. If I already know how the fight is going to end then why bother watching it? The only fight scene I thoroughly enjoyed was the final Ga-Rei: Zero fight between Yomi and Kagura because I couldn't predict what would happen. I might have thought Yomi was probably going to die but the way they showed the secrets and true reason Yomi was fighting was completely unpredictable NO ONE could have seen that coming I don't care who you are.

Zombies, Vampires, Ninjas! Oh my! But yeah seriously these are overused. I don't mind the use of Zombies or Vampires or Ninjas it just depends on placement and usage. There were zombies in Mnemosyne but only temporarily. Also not just the appearance of these beings in an anime but animes surrounded by the idea of zombies. And that goes for real life shows too. Enough with the zombie shows they got old a long time ago.

Excessive blood and such things. Humans bleed but they don't bleed THAT MUCH.

The severe lack in Yuri slice of life animes is also annoying DX It's all stupid magic crap or guys that get stuck in a female body. And just for the record THAT'S NOT YURI. It doesn't count if the only thing "female" is the body. Like seriously GTFO >.> Sorry that just really ticks me off...

Everything also depends on usage. Annoying elements can be decent when used properly and placed correctly. Random picture is random x3
