Cliche' - -Is a phrase, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially when at some time it was considered distinctively forceful or novel. The term is generally used in a negative context.

Anime has lots of cliche'. Share it with us

example:

During the battle, they always explain their new technique to their opponent right in the middle of the battle

there's always a flashback right in the middle of the game.

most of male emo anime characters habulin ng mga babae, while reversed naman pag girl ung emo

how about you guys?

Hmm... Anime Cliche'...

+ In most Sports themed Anime Series, the Main Character will lose to an opponent ONLY ONCE then he/she will never be beaten again. Usually, the one who beat him/her up just so happens to be his/her "RIVAL".

+ In most Anime Series, a guy who's timid, shy, nerdy gets all the girls. Same with girls who are ditzy, noisy, etc. ---> Read: Miaka of Fushigi Yuugi

+ This also applies to Movies, the Gun-wielding Lead Character NEVER misses a shot except if it is part to distract another character and add to drama or comedy... wherever. ---> Saiyuki, Black Cat

Hey, don't forget The Law of Unlimited Ammunition!!!

Vash the Stampede has a .45mm gun with a 15 shot capacity... yet he can shoot down 20 bad guys and STILL have enough ammo for the "Boss"

And also...

Anime characters have hair color in all the shades of the spectrum... and they are all naturals... no one dyes his or her hair in anime!

I beg to disagree as Kanou Kyousuke of Hungry Heart DYED his hair orange from his natural hair color of blue...

Tokyo is always the target

In anime, it's easy to spot "the Smart One" coz all smart people wear glasses.

College and High-School teachers look just about the same age as their students.

Little spinning tops have enough power to destroy Tokyo.
