    You know, this has been bugging me for a long time.

    I have watched Anime for most of my life, and this the first time I've ever seen an Anime Girl with breasts that... "Exagerated".

    They look pretty realistic the rest of the time, appart from the occasional over sised ones, and even then they're still pretty "real".

    Yeah but thats exactly my point. He ISNT the strongest even though it was said at least twice in the anime that he IS the strongest. Yamamoto aside of course.
    Where did they say that in the anime? I honestly don't remember aside from several lines by Ikkaku about "he's strong. Stronger than anything you've ever experienced" and "you'll know when you see him."

    I don't recall in the manga or the anime anyone ever saying "Zaraki Kenpachi is the strongest captain in the Soul Society".

    That's from the series "Mahoromatic" which is essentially softcore porn pretending to have a plot.

    Nothing wrong with cliche's so long as they are well used and implemented. Shows like Trigun or Rurouni Kenshin rely on a great deal of cliche's, but it's the sharp and original writing and animation that makes the jokes special.

    And there is nothing wrong with shonen or shojo type anime either. Some of them can be annoying since some shows really don't try anything new, while others succeed because they focus on the characters and making them stand out and feel special. GTO is a great shonen anime that excels at this. and unedited sailor moon is also pretty special because of many of the developments that were edited out of the english dub.

    as for some of my personal pet peeves in anime?

    Bishonen badarses that have deeply sensitive sides despite being utterly homicidal lunatics. Heero Yui and Trowa Barton from Gundam Wing, I'm looking in your direction right now. I personally think that particular archetype has been played out worse then the whole (you killed my "insert loved one(s) here" and I'm now gonna kill you" plot device.

    Super whiny main characters that never grow up. Shinji Ikari from evangelion, and I'm even gonna throw cloud strife from Advent Children in there. Yah, lifes real tough guys. Build an effin bridge and get over it already

    Lackluster endings. Okay, so you produced the show while the manga was still being written just to make an extra buck. Then you realized you had to end the bloody thing before the manga, hunkered down over a film real and deposited the smelliest ending your bowels could deliver. I'm sure the fans are REALLY gonna be satisfied with that one. Rurouni Kenshin, GTO, Inu Yasha, all apply here.

    Most people can jump at least 30m high with ease and land perfectly fine, even in heels.

    The anime women always have massive, perfect breasts. Oh wait, you said worst.

    1. It sucks.

    2. Everyone is a loser who has nothing useful to say.

    3. Badasses are abound, and they usually are are so overfocused, say very little, and have a retarded background. "Look at me, I'm a badass, I'll be enigmatic because I can! Badass!

    4. Every woman is usually either pathetic or a tomboy.

    Cat ears, cards, 'mons' and robots. There's so many cliches. Probably the reson I don't watch many animes anymore, nothing new, it's all been done. And done. And done. And Done. And done again.........

    YES. Can't believe I forgot that. Not just Manga-based either. Last Exile, for example, is an Awesome Awesome Show. The ending builds and builds to something epic, and the result just doesn't feel as great as it was building up to be. It's still a very fine ending, but I personally was expecting something more. Last Exile is still an "almost-cliche-free" series I'd recommend, but not before the stuff I mentioned before which have more satisfying endings.

    Again, anyone who thinks anime sucks or has nothing new/good should check out Gankutsuou, RahXephon and Eureka 7.

    There is one cliche (which i find rather amusing) in which when a character is punched or blown up they bounce around the room and walls like 20 times at high speed before suddenly coming to a halt. Another is the the sparkle when a character is punched/blown into the sky.

    The best examples of these are Love Hina, Bleach and Pokemon.

    Eureka 7 is pretty great. But it does highlight another silly cliche - random, nonsensical names for things!

    "Cut back drop turn!"
