Since anyone has their own opinion on the many kinds of anime outhere, I thought maybe they have their own opinion on anime cliches. Sure, most of the time it's only use appears to be ruining a perfectly good anime series, but just like any other kind of cliches, there's at least one we just love to watch over and over (at least most times). If this is true, please post which anime cliche do you think is at least bearable, and just for fun, which one should've never come out from the dephts of the human brain.
Naturally, I will begin with my own favorite anime cliche, which is "bad guys going good (or kinda at least)". I know this sounds childish, but since I saw Robotech for the first time ( first anime I saw, too) I can't help but to like that kind of thing, unless it turns out to be just an excuse to extend a character's life span, as I think a change like that needs to have some basis.
As with the worst anime cliche, I would go with "Dumb guy, lots of hot fangirls". I know some seriously good anime series have revolved around this very cliche (Saber J, Love Hina) but I think it has been exploited way too much. It just isn't fun anymore, but that's just me.
Long post, huh? Well, if you can, post your own with your own words, and remember, this is supposed to be fun, so post anything you want. Bye.
