    There is a certain cliche involving every anime, and that cliche is that they are terrible.

    Anime is full of lemon-y goodness.

    When some guy does summin stupid, and everyone lands flat on the ground, with no pupils in their eye lids. They give some dopey, gay look to make it look effective.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    I remember one now that I like when it is well used. The Nosebleed! that can be entertaining and funny. That was quite fun in Karin.

    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    Nosebleed was never funny. Partially because I've never seen anyone getting nosebleed from watching a pair of boobs.

    I've always wanted the infinite hammerspace that all anime females possess.

    Example: Boyfriend says something stupid, making girlfriend whip out bazooka from seemingly nowhere and shoot missile at him (which only makes him kind of black colored for one scene but otherwise he sustains no injury).

    Why, with an anime hammerspace, I'd have all the gatling guns I could ever need .

    Also, if Filler Arcs have been used enough to count as a cliche, then I will definitely list that under "annoyance."

    I can't believe I forgot about Hammerspace! That is so evident in so many different animes that I just must have become immune to it(immune to hammerspace.... that would be odd).
    And it just isn't females that have it, males also posses it from time to time .


    As for entertainment I think it is just fine for it to be of a kind that doesn't occur irl(such as hammerspace and the nosebleed).

    I dunno if anyone's already said this because I cba to sift through all the other posts. Anyway. When characters make a statement, then another character will make a stupid statement or action then everybody goes DUUUH and there's a gong sound or something and everybody but the stupid guy fall on the floor with their limbs all stuck out at weird angles and stuff. Is that supposed to be something that happens in real life? I've never seen anybody do that before.

    Only bishies.

    I also played an RP where they had incorporated hammerspaces. As always, items taken from the hammerspace never inflicts damage.

    Anvils = love. Anvils from hammerspace = comedy.

    1) Hammerspace is awesome.

    2) Yeah, the people falling down with limbs at odd angles to symbolize their dismay, and the nosebleeds to show their arousal, are totally unrealistic and don't belong in any kind of show featuring any of (But not limited to) the following:

    Giant robots
    Giant space robots
    Aliens
    Vampires
    Magic
    Ninjas who can destroy fully armed military batallions/tanks/helicopters
    Schoolgirls who can destroy fully armed military batallions/tanks/helicopters
    Schoolgirls who can destroy continents/planets/galaxies/dimensions
    Anthropomorphic animals
    Anthropomorphic jellies

    Because we all understand the cultural background of everything in a foreign show.
