Worst offenders?

Too many animes to count...

What makes it popular?

Because it promotes "character/plot development" by making another character miss them or something...

Reason for the hate?

So overdone, so unrealistic, and makes me facepalm every time

Is the hate worth it?
Maybe, maybe not...but it really is sort of ridiculous how often animes utilize this plot device. Do Japanese people have the weakest immunity systems ever?
