Although I like such harem leads, the idea that you have to work for your harem to deserve it is actually pretty overrated to me. Well, of course, I believe you have to do something to deserve your girl, but if it's the girl who likes you without you doing anything (or doing something you're not aware of), what can you do?

my pet peeve of anime is how many times professional armies are made to look like useless fools either so incompetent we shouldn't have em at all or so weak despite great technology and discipline they fail due overpowering of monsters and forces humanity to depend on something that could turn on it or in many cases too foolish etc to to truly trust its peeve i got for a while and it came to a head after reading the fanfic known as the humans strike back.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that not even the Stormtrooper Effect (thanks wikipedia for literally being worthless for one of the first times EVER when trying to hyperlink to useful information) would save them in most cases. Yeah there's some psychology behind the faceless villains and the indoctrinated soldier masses fighting the pure-hearted rabble. Not "that" much though. Even worse I think is putting a huge gap between the average soldier and the characters. It always bothers me in anime and manga when the main characters just flick those nameless soldiers away like flies. Naruto is such a great example of this. We constantly see new characters introduced and mentioned with some great ninja abilities sometimes and they have some degree of prowess, but any faceless and nameless soldiers are completely worthless and serve no purpose whatsoever. For a property that's bristling with unique family lines passing on powerful jutsus, and people that are skilled in their method of choice, the vast majority of ninja are really bad at being... Well being ninjas. It gets worse when the characters are using guns. You're telling me the average trained soldier is less capable of fighting than some guy who picked a gun up for the first time in the first episode? Oh man...

What I hate the most about anime is the lack of balance. You have anime that is your typical setting and characters that we've seen a million times before. Then you have anime that "takes risks" except they end up being wtf and basically were just different to be different. It's rare when you get an anime that presents an interesting idea that doesn't go overboard, while retaining its quality and expectations throughout.

On most people who don't watch anime or anything, they see only the hentai and yaoi. And say all it is, is girls with big boobs showing.
And they don't see the storylines or anything else that makes a anime good.

given that even modern warfare has advanced a lot.... i still takes time to aim a tank or a helicopter to hit a very fast moving object......around 3-5 seconds for a tank and 2-4 seconds for a flying machine, and this is not including the chance to miss. so your theory has some good points..... but the mecha always win because of their speed even if they are big. also the thing i hate the most is the level difference between "fodder" characters and the hero. in real life no matter how strong you get you always find a weak person who just K.O's you in one hit.....but not in anime.....here the hero is like a god compared to the rest.....it is annoying sometimes.

Wasted potential - for whatever bullshit reasons.
Like High School of the Dead. Why just why was it reduced to tits and asses galore! The show had interesting premise. But, for whatever reason the director seemed to think people(men mostly) just think with their lower body. So, we have a zombie apocalypse just so our protagonist (along with the gun-maniac) could shack with all the hot girls in his school *facewall* *facewall* - because that's what it got reduced to.

I'll definitely agree that the show would have been much better if they had toned down the fanservice in my eyes, but that's just not the kind of show it wanted to be. It drew in the crowd that wanted the over-the-top boobs and violence, and I'm not one to rain on their parade.

I just realized I've never posted a proper response here, or if I have I don't remember it.
If there's one thing I strongly dislike about anime trends right now is the very large amount of generic, repetitive and predictable concepts. It's largely a matter of "you've seen this once and you've seen it a-thousand times" to me. Light novel adaptations usually tend to be the same thing, some sort of badly-executed adventure or weird romantic comedy series both with harem elements on the side. Eroge adaptations are usually always some light-hearted romantic slice of life with the heroines largely as the main draw. Visual novel adaptations usually tend to be either horror, science-fiction or psychological stories. Etc. etc. That isn't to say there aren't exceptions to the repetition and predictability, but often those exceptions aren't always obvious and even if they do manage to make themselves apparent it does not mean it'll be significant enough to save the show from whatever horridness that may plague it. I do realize this is more of a safeguard for the industry though. If the more ambitious and risk-taking projects don't take off, they can always fall back on the generic stuff because they are almost guaranteed to make a profit off of otaku habits. Unfortunately thanks to this, there's very little broadcast recently that actually intrigues me and I usually only watch 1 to 3 shows a season. I'm not one of those people who is capable of trying everything.

Even the best anime refuse to invest in a wardrobe for characters. One of the things that stood out to me in the Haruhi Endless Eight, to give an example, was the different clothing in every episode. On the more American side, this is one of the things I really liked about Archer. I think people often forget that if you give an audience something to watch, they'll ignore literally every single important thing and focus on all the stuff you thought that was minor.
