Personal cliche that I hate with a burning passion: Anime girls who cannot cook at all, but will happily make disgusting concoctions without taste-testing them, and then feed them to the objects of their affections and demand he eat and enjoy whatever foul mess she's cooked up. Just, no.
How the fuck hard can it be to take two slices of bread, spread butter, put a slice of ham, apply mustard, put a slice of cheese, apply sliced tomatoes, and voila! AND ANIME GIRLS SCREW EVEN THAT UP! And those idiots happily go and serve a disgusting concoction to their victims with big smiles and expect them to eat it. Didn't they not taste test their own food? Don't they know the meaning of walk before run? If one has never cooked before, why in the name of all that is holy is one trying to halfass something without even using a cookbook? I'm forgiving of most things except kitchen stupidity. Because that shit can get you killed. (I have been sidelined with food poisoning. Was not a pleasant experience. Vomit should not be red-tinted.) The sad thing is that in my experience, this is actually a reflection of the modern girl, who on average does not know how to cook. Though one of the most ridiculous examples has to be Mitusrugi Meiya's failed attempt at rice balls, which ends up as basically charcoal. With eggshells in it. (How the fuck did she get eggshells into rice what is this I don't even.)

Harem alone is Sexist enough. We've seen many Harem ending, right? But if a Girl has a harem, no way that's gonna happen. She will have to choose one of them only.
Not that I mind Harem. Plus, Goose, Shirogane could handle a dimension jump, so Meiya's food is nothing. Beside, imagine she poisoned him and then has to wear a nurse outfit and take care of him. Mutiply it with Yuuya/Yui and Hibiki/Yuzuka... |

Spoiler for Sexism and harems rant:
On an unrelated matter: There's a cliche that always bothers me immensely, and it's those traitorous movements in organizations. Those people who want to overthrow their leaders for, more often than not, reasons that are senseless. Everything from Code Geass to Space Battleship Yamato has this! Where I seem to see it the most, however, is in situations where a lack of unity can jeopardize the entire organization. It's almost never, "I think we should do this, but I recognize that it's all or nothing," but rather: "I think we should do this, and I'm going to kill people until we do that, even though us being a unified body is literally the difference between total failure and success!" And on another note, a more general and non-anime cliche is the whole rebelling against the government thing. Especially with the average dystopian story, it's always this fight against the overbearing leaders of society, even if society is significantly better now than it has ever been. No crime, good health, happy lives? Better overthrow the government! Sometimes it even happens when this came about to literally save the human race from extinction. Lastly, is there such a thing as a supporting character that isn't a prodigy? Seriously. If I had a nickel for every supporting character with a skill or hobby that they were basically godlike at, I'd be a primary investor in this industry.

Well, if they don't rebellion, then what is there to tell? I mean, overdramatic is always Anime's field. For example, if the Black Knight never kick Lelouch out, it would be too easy. And I fear that it won't lead to the stunning ending that we all know. Plus, that leave room for Fanfic writer.
Back to the Harem problem. Yes, I could agree that most male-lead Harem is for comedy. But what about something like School Days VN? They do have a Harem ending. Plus, in contrast of the "Failed Housewife", there is also "Failed Lover" to, usually the Male who just can't not act galantly with their girlfriends. Edit: Ok, back to the Harem problem, I just realize what I hate is the sudden transfering from Selfish to Unselfish of the Harem. All the girls engaged in a battle royale for the boy, and yet in the end they just admitted defeat and share the prize? The only answer that I could think of is Yuri inside a Harem, but it never happen. Female-lead Harem retain their selfish, though - Man's nature. Last edited by Fireminer; 2014-01-24 at 18:24. |

My mom is a pretty awesome cook, but when I was first learning to cook, I was atrocious at it. I had to start out simple: Toast, then marmite toast, then grilled cheese sandwiches (which, admittedly, are ridiculously easy in an oven toaster ), then boiling water, then rice, then fried rice, then stir fry... Basically you work your way up, but these girls try to force their way through cooking. -_-;; Quote:

Not a popular trope, but i absolutely absolutely hate that "cure lesbianism" development the most.... More popular in manga rather anime, i supposed..
You know what i means, two girls in close relationship, or even just skin-ship/sisterhood/class-S. Then a prick entered and turned the story into hetero romance drama. No disrespect to the author if he chose that trope, but just thinking about it making me want to puke
