I love anime, i love everything bout it, so no hate towards it ;)
Just stating what most common things you guys see in anime

What most common things do you see in anime? post id like to know :P


This is my top 10.

-Obsession with Demons

-Some male character getting beat up for supposedly doing something perverted (even if it wasn't on purpose)
Sexual harassment is not met with arrests and lawsuits, they're met with violence and sending the pervert into orbit.

-Cleavage/fanservice

-Main character sitting beside the window



-Nagging female character that will just piss you off with no end throughout the whole series.

-confusing/odd/cliffhanger endings

-Unnatural Hair colour

-Sudden pauses for unreasonably long conversations during an intense battle.
having flashbacks and pretending the bad guy isnt there.
(you'd think the enemy could just strike them while they're in flashback mode lol)

-parent(s) of the main character have passed away or are missing and they live by themselves
and they're really moody or serious because of their past

-Protagonist in a near death situation suddenly unleashes his true power or transforms.

Just realized, why is the window to their left? Why not on the right? Never noticed it. Japanese schools designed that way or anime?

The class room is designed all the same. The window will be on the "left" because of where the professor will be at. They face the professor and will have windows to the left. Generally the opposite side classrooms should have windows on the right. Although I wouldnt really know this :P I have seen anime where the windows are to their right.
