what is the worst trend in anime? moe? isekai? harem? something else?
What is the worst trend in anime? moe? isekai? harem? something else?
for me it's the turbovirgin MC that hides from women throwing themselves at him
they don't need to all be chads but when they will hide their faces from seeing an undressed girl and not try to peek it's just unbelievable
feminism
Faggots on Yas Forums complaining about shit they don't have to watch.
>Hey are you complaining, you don't have to live in this country
False analogy. It would be like complaining about a country you don't live in.
Probably substanceless hyperweeb moe shit that does highly NSFW shit despite often having a PG-13 rating.. Isekai is 90% trash, even good shows like overlord have cringe all over them but at least it's not a terrible thing from its core.
This and pic related on this post.
traps
enough already with the trap bullshit already, every anime nowadays has a trap in it.
underwear and bodily fluids
This, plus a serious lack of muscles and manliness. Also I'm fucking tired of traps already
Not watching cartoons is significantly less of a burden than emigrating.
overused comedy cliches
give me something like grand blue level of comedy or gamers level of the comedic art of misunderstanding
Every weeb anime has to have at least or more:
>Empty trap character
>Empty (sexualized) loli
>Sweet/wholesome female character that still gets sexualized
>Other empty female characters that are only there to appeal to certain sexual preferences
>Plot is heavily sex-oriented (ahm devilman)
The idea that the end of highschool is the death of magic. Its in the same boat as "and then they lived happily ever after", ending your story with "and then nothing remarkable happened to the protag ever again"
I gst that its trying to capture the bittetsweet nostalgia of a corporate serf looking back on their youth, but its an unhealthy attitude that encourages adults to just give up rather than fight to protect the things that make life worth living
The tsundere character archetype.
Tell me how d frag fits in there
worse than a food analogy
You are the kind or person who ruins niche hobbies
pandering to the west
You are not a kind
Stop putting lolis in anime. No one likes em.
>they don't need to all be chads
Why not? It'd be great to see a MC with a bit of self confident, especially an adult MC.
because the MC is supposed to be easy to identify with for the kind of customers who pay for this industry.
Moe isekai harem.
Pure girls. Stuff like virgin succubus, nice gyaru, delinquents, hooker with a heart of gold. Cause you never get anything fun like a straight up asshole bitch delinquent who fights and never goes to school. Its its always tame crap where the only thing gyaru or delinquent about the girl is the appearence. All of em have the same generic bland personality
Hooker with a heart of gold whose just stripping to pay for college doesnt work when every stripper is the same.
Cgdct anime where male characters are almost non existent. As they are set at one of the million all girl schools.
Look at this low test faggot
>isekai? harem?
The issue with a lot from both of these and other genres is the same, they try to fill them with interesting characters yet everything centres around the most boring character.
My main beefs with the Japs are around their inability to understand how relationships work and how also they could spice up their tiresome, at this point, formula:
>comical amounts of fanservice
>the infuriating and unnatural trope of "more dense than a black hole" around love and sexual attraction male teenage+ MC (fucking Ichika from IS)
>childhood friend rarely wins MCbowls
>MILF/mature character almost never wins MCbowls
>every male is a pervert that ends up getting his ass kicked by half-naked females when he accidentally looks them, despite the fact that it was those bitches' fault of not locking the door or parading like that in the building, or even another girl undressed them (doesn't matter the male at the scene will still be the one to get slapped)
I'd also like a lot less kiddy shounens, isekais and harems and more interesting and mature shows like Code Geass, SG, Black Lagoon etc.
You just pretend to like 'em to be different.
The worst trend is the copy the leader mentality anime makers have. Not many studios and companies are willing to try anything new and just produce more of whatever is popular.What's that? Robot anime is the big shit? Better pump out more of this shit to get the bux rolling. Manga adaptations are doing well? Better just pump out as many of those as possible regardless of whether or not the source material is actually good. Supernatural high school harem Light Novels? Better get on that shit, jack. Moe and Isekai are just more of the same and once people get tired of this shit they'll move on to whatever else is popular at the time. I know they need to make money at the end of the day to pay their employees and continue being in business, but it's just so tiresome.
>muh maturity
Every time you fags say the same thing
Yeah you pussy, believe it or not anime had more mature themes in earlier decades before the flow of moeshit. I don't mind lighthearted and comfy show, but I also need thought-provoking anime with mature themes that hook me up and keep me at the edge of my seat.
>pic related
That's cherry picking, really. There were plenty of beta MCs back then and there are plenty of alpha MCs now
If you think any of those are killing anime, you should just quit watching it.
This is true but if you watch enough anime, there’s a lot of strong female characters already in the medium. It’s the fact that anime is becoming mainstream in the west.
Shinji isn't beta
This meme will always piss me off, he reacted like how a normal fucking human being would act.
This general trend is not exclusive to anime. Where are the Western "action hero" movies now? They've been absent since the turn of the century. How about the Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic stuff that inspired things like Akira and FotNS? Gone since the end of the 80s.
I certainly prefer the left side of that image, but anime is just following along.
And a normal human being =/= beta?
It's not like every other guy out there is Kenshiro or something
Who?
Everyone is a bitch who looks like a twink, he is obligatorily surrounded by fapbait females to give him some value and "cool" factor (despite the fact that he didn't earn it other than being "nice", which is the most beta thing ever). Also usually edgy and emo as fuck. And all this so that lifeless losers can relate.
Thankfully, at least some recent, dime in the dozen, MC guys like Kazuma by design break that mold and that's why they become so liked and popular in an instant. It's like everyone knows (both the creators and the fans) at this point how tiresome and full of cliche anime has became and thus wink at each other.
Last truly chad MC that i can remember right now who ended up having everything but the body was Rock from Black Lagoon.
I will agree to that for the most part. The main differences though are:
1) Anime is still Jap-centric (and thus free of SJWs). Is it not?
2) It's entirely fictional, meaning you can do every sort of things you want with it, providing the budget.
Off the top of my head? This guy. Although to be fair, he does seem to be created specifically in defiance of the trend that you describe.
Still, you have shows like OPM, AoT, Noragami, Tanya the Evil, Psycho Pass, etc, etc. Sure, 90% of new shows is crap, but that's how it always have been
does that even exist in anime?
No, it's either the MC is a dumbass and shy or the MC is very perverted but when the girls actually want sex, he becomes shy. Fuck this anime trope.
Was the only time I saw this man smile was in the flashback and when he saw the goddess was actually the princess before he died?
3DCG
>OPM, AoT, Noragami, Tanya the Evil, Psycho Pass
But those are fucking garbage, mate are you alright?
>one punch meme battleshonen "satire" which ended become just another battleshonen
>Mary sue Pass, an awkward rehash of western cyberpunk
>Tanya a faggoty isekai for mentally ill mutts who fantasize about becoming a little girl
>How about the Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic stuff that inspired things like Akira and FotNS?
We had a fourth Mad Max movie in 2015, and it was a masterpiece. If anything it's great that the "chuck norris fucks up X country" trend is over.
>Everyone is a bitch who looks like a twink, he is obligatorily surrounded by fapbait females to give him some value and "cool" factor (despite the fact that he didn't earn it other than being "nice", which is the most beta thing ever).
I was replying to that specific complaint. As for whether these shows are trash or not is really a matter of opinion. Personally, I enjoyed them (although both OPM and Psycho Pass did have inferior 2nd seasons and I agree that there was absolutely no reason for Tanya to be a little girl)
>I was replying to that specific complaint.
Mate, even answering to that complaint, you didn't have to pick this kinda garbage. If you wanted the opposite of twinkMCs, just try Baki, Kengan Ashura,Dorohedoro, Golden Kamui,etc.
Plenty of great stuff, you only have to look out for it.
You're a retard who thinks it's a sign of good taste to indiscriminately shit on newer anime while looking at past anime with rose-tinted glasses.
As I said, I did enjoy them and don't think they're garbage, but thanks for the recommendations nevertheless
>before the flow of moeshit
So before the 80s?
You're a fucking retard who doesn't even read the posts he replies to. Is Kengan Ashura old? I only picked recent series, even some are even newer than opm and psycho pass.
Seriously take some time to read before answering.
You don't think Tanya is garbage?
>people have different opinions?
>impossible
shounenshit. all of it.
>You don't think Tanya is garbage?
I don't like that the author decided to make the MC a little girl, but other than that I think it's pretty good as far as isekais go. The setting is rather original as well
Pandering to the masses rather than creating works that the author personally enjoys.
There was also Ousawa Akatsuki from Hagure Yuusha.
>rants about how he hates twink beta MCs
>likes a literal little girl MC
>rants abput too many anime being wish fullfillment
>likes a literal isekai
I thought you were joking.
low quality CGI being used to save money
the most annoying trope is MC not behaving like a human being and being appropriately scared of his situation when dealing with supernatural shit or isekai
same for the random bitches that fall for him when they have no reason to
it's hard to enjoy a story when the people don't act like people
Not sure who you think you're replying to, I didn't write Besides, if you have actually seen Tanya the Evil, you would have known that the protagonist is not actually a litte girl, nor is this anime wish fulfillment. It's the opposite, in fact - the main running gag/theme is the MC trying to secure a comfortable position in the rear and everyone else assuming he/she is an ardent patriot who wishes for nothing else but to serve on the frontlines.
Definitely not moe
