Most annoying cliche

The useless girl:
Some shows have female characters who stand around and do nothing else but comment on the main (usually male) characters. A good example would be Sakura from Naruto. She’s supposed to be just as much a ninja as anyone else in the series, but compared to the other ninjas SHE DOES NOTHING. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate that. A good counter-character would be Fay Valentine from Cowboy Bebop.

The horny, spiky-haired male lead:
See Sorceror Hunters. An opposite would be, say…Tsukasa, from Hack Sign. Or the lead female (can’t remember names too well) from Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)

PS: I know it has nothing to do with this but would you believe that in a farm town in the midle of my country (A particular region where there is ABSOLUTELY nothing), there is a town that has a 7 meters tall stone Mazinger on the central plaza?

What Mazinger?

Mazinger Z? Great Mazinger? Evil Mazinger Z? Mazinkaiser?

I can say that i hate “uber heroes” like Dark Schneider from Bastard (and there’s a LOT of them…)

Mazinger Z.

And I made a mistake, it’s 12 meters tall. It’s beautiful, the painting, the design and all that is completly perfect.

I loathe bad dubbing.

So do I. Someone should zap those translators… They make such blatant mistakes!

I hate it when an anime series turns into a trash show. The begining is good and all but then, next ep it’s nothing but lame and dumb stuff. That sucks… -_-;;

When shitty company’s are granted the rights to a good anime. Poor Shaman King…forced to be edited and chopped to hell and back by 4 Kids…sniff ;_;

If you don’t like it then buy the Japanese dub and translate it yourself… OH WAIT! YOU CAN’T! So either deal with it or stop whining. And half of the time it’s not a blatant mistake, but a direct translation, which wouldn’t make too much sence in English.

Oh yeah? And when they don’t translate the expressions and make a huge mess, eh?!

Ditzy, stupid female types like Usagi, I want to stick needles in her eyes and set her on fire.

Stuff that pisses me off:

  1. Bad dubbing. This is somewhat overlookable, if the show is good enough. For example, DBZ had HORRIBLE dubbing when it started, but towards the end, it got a lot better.

  2. Pointless nudity. Tastefull nudity is perfectly acceptable in my eyes, but I don’t want people ripping off their shirts every five seconds for no reason. If I wanted to see that, I’d get a porno movie.

  3. Really BAD plots. I hate these. A good plot is needed to draw people in, no matter how many explosions or fancy graphics you have.

And I echo Sil’s comment: people have nipples, all right?! Start drawing them in, for pete’s sake! [/b]

It’s the artist that’s wants to make it look like the hair’s blocking the nipples but if it’s something like Sephiroth’s case. I don’t know. Lucky bastard. But if a woman has nothing blocking her and has no nipples, that is annoying.

But what i find more annoying are 100 episode seasons like Sailor Moon or Pokemon. Main reason I lost interest in most saturday morning anime.

BTW, I saw that Megaman NT Warrior thing. Now I’m waiting for Fidelman to come in.:o (for those of you who did not watch Link’s Quest for Ass, why are you still here?)
