You know, as strange as it may sound, I feel like anime has become more willing to put characters in clear relationships. It used to be that characters had these long growths, and that you'd be lucky to see characters enter into any kind of obvious romantic relationship until the very end. Now it feels like that's throw in your face in a way. Either it's a big part of the story, or it's made to happen sooner rather than later. I enjoy that steady growth of friendship to a romantic relationship in the characters' off time, when they're not busy killing things or doing whatever it is they do for work. Maybe that's just because I'm older now... In a way it seems almost cliche. Two characters have romantic potential. They must date! THEY MUST DATE NOW! Perhaps it's just a general complaint though?

If I go back and rewatch anime from the 90s....it actually seems that characters get FAR more development nowadays than they did back then....and same goes for romance as well. Like one example with Rurouni Kenshin....yeah, he and Kaoru have a couple moments of chemistry and interaction....and then by episode 08 it's announced they're in love. .................... I was like "...............damn, that was fast." o_O Things seemed to improve once 2000 hit.

And besides, do they REALLY have to date? Just because a couple has great romantic potential doesn't mean they must date the first time they see each other.
Even real life couples don't do that. |

I know a manga that has has an "end couple" but they only meet in the last arc, the previous arcs are about the love interests both members of the couple had before they met.I found it to be an interesting approach.

This one is probably more like a stereotype than a cliche but I hate to see women are often depicted as 'porn-haters'. They often beat their guys(husband or boyfriend) for discovering their xxx-stash. Not just in anime but also in other popular media as well. I really hated it because it not based on fact or reality. Yes women do hate porn but they only hate men's porn. What about their porn? How about some xxx-rated novels you can see in local bookstores and libraries. These "novels" are easier to get than men's porn(DVDs, magazines) because there's no age restrictions to it. The book store clerk and librarian won't ask for your ID when buying/borrowing them.
The only reason I hate this 'cliche' is its double-standard. I've seen too many women throwing away and even burned their man's xxx-stash, beat him up for it but I never saw a man burning his woman's xxx-novels. |

And honestly, "double standards" and "absolutely unrealistic depictions of women" are the gravest "sins" of anime and manga
