Anime Which trope in Anime you like and which you don't like?

[OmegaPunch's icon OmegaPunch OmegaPunch]

My favorite trope is when the opening theme song begins and ends the same way.
As in, the song's beginning Melody is the same as it's end.
My least favorite, however:
Pervert characters.
They're not (and have never been) funny at all.
(With some exceptions)

Love: Slow moving scenes, to take in the atmosphere; and to save money on animation ;)

e.g. the elevator scene with asuka and rei in evangelion.

Good movies do this, they don't tell you what the character thinks, they let you speculate.

Hate: slice of life anime, kinda boring.

Grooms the onee-san the groomed him now that she's half his age

What's the fuck this show's deal? I went into it thinking it was just about developing eroge for 90s computers but then it hits me with some matrix-level, time traveling shit.

I'm confused about that.

I don't like when the story revolves around a chosen one, seems lazy and more of the same. I also don't like fillers that are too long or don't add anything to the story or characters. I like characters improving over time, both their personality as their skills.

A chosen one story could work when done well.

I mean Dune is basically about it and is considered to be one of the greatest piece of fiction.

As character development I kinda like when they end up being darker and more radical as things evolve.

Yeah, but it rarely does in anime lol, at least the ones i saw were bad.

It's a cool twist, i like it as well. Just like Anakin becoming Darth Vader

Favorite Anime Trope
- Characters who grow, form actual meaningful relationship with other characters and earn their happy endings.
- Good world building, I'm in love with Dungeon Meshi's world building! Every chapter of the manga introduces something that is expands the world building and can be relevant to the plot in future chapters!
Or how Frieren: Beyond Journey's End set the rules for using magic.
- BIG MEN/OLD MEN who are the Team's Dad

HATED Anime Trope
- Character who explains everything that is happening in a battle
- Idiot Unlikable Protagonists who gets 0 Character development (Recent example Bucchigiri?!)
- Anime with Beastfolks where the Males are actual Anthro animal men but the females are just human women with animal cosplay accessories.
- Anime where the protagonist looks like Kirito from Sword Art Online! A Gary Stu, Made to be "Relatable Self Insert" to the audience! Pic Related

- Fanservice! Made EVEN WORSE when the Faservice gets shoved in a scene of an episode with huge serious tone, not only it destroys the scene's tone and it comes out as extremely Desperated (Fire Force DROPPED After Episode 9!)
Mood Whiplash is not enough to describe it

Western anime fans kinda mocked the hairstyle back then but in retrospect it's also what made some iconic.

I liked sword art online. But yes when everyone copies it, it gets rather tiring.

So many based replies… besides that one guy

Just want to add on that fanservice can get really annoying really fast. I get appealing to fans and it’s tolerable when it’s written okay, but fanservice can easily get way too in your face

 

[MadzombieBane]

like : silent protag
dislike: pervy characters, tsundere and the main character is always gonna win

 

[Yankee]

I hate socially awkward and anxious characters like Bocchi, Tomoko, Komi, Midoriya to a lesser extent but kind of. I don't relate to them in the slightest and they're pathetic, not cute.

For what I like: Chad perverts like Roshi, Jiraiya, Onizuka, and Lupin. Bouncing boobies and pantyshot fanservice. Villains who are just evil, like Dio, with no deep explanation or relatability.

 

[sunofpearl89]

Fanservice of all kinds is my favorite anime trope. All the boobage!

My least favorite anime trope is when a romance or conflict or battle or whatever takes several episodes to start moving again. The stalling drives me nuts. This is one of the benefits of manga, since you can spend as much or little time on a particular arc as you want.

 

[zacharinolongpants]

I like the Bladerunner type of machine consciousness themes in stuff like Ghost in the Shell. I love elaborately drawn outrageous sleezy body horror. I also like the monster of the month episodic horror based on Japanese folklore and stuff like Mushishi and Mononoke.

I lose all interest when writers start "killing" characters off and then set up these tragic moments only to bring the people usually like right back to life due to some contrived nonsense. It's so cheap and the show loses all tension and sense of stakes lol. I know that's something that happens in other media than anime too but it's REALLY bad in that world.

 

[ThePeon]

I got no favorite trope I just like a good story that get me engaed.

Tropes I hate is. Violent girls always being up the main charter for every mistake he makes and yet he falls for the same girl they must be masochists.

Annoying girls will never be cute the are only annoying.

Perverted Male charters in sexist towards males and just insulting. If you gonna have a pervert male then also have a pervert female.

Power of loves saves the days it never will and history has proven love has caused more wars than it should have so no Power of love is bull. Also power of friend ships is bull we all know that no human alive has friends like that. Yes I know it´s anime and anime never makes sense but a bit if realism never hurt and it´s just a tired trope at this point.

 

[The Missing Link]

The one where the main character gets his ass kicked really bad, but because his friends are his power, he unlocks a new transformation or totally OP ability and starts making the antagonist shit his pants lol.

 

[Deleted member 179251]

I don't like or dislike a trope. A trope is but a tool. There is no such thing as a good tool or a bad tool. Its how you use is that matters.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I don't know if it's a proper trope but when the antagonist does a hard damage on the main character, stays on the ground, has him saying something like "finally, he's down so I can continue my scheme" then the protag gets up as if nothing happened while throwing a small quip (such as "already done? I was merely warming up." then finally the antagonist getting surprised ("You're still not dead?").

It's both expected yet still badass to see that the character can survive a hard strike.
