Tropes in Anime that annoy you

Figured I'd make another version of this thread. What are some common tropes, cliches, or other frequent occurrences in anime that get on your nerves? Mine are as follows: -Dense male lead who somehow ends up with 3 school girls around his chabudai every meal (shiro, kohta) -Character who's incredibly annoying or useless but made to be a fanservice magnet to compensate (yoshida) -Character runs out the house with toast in mouth when they're late (daisuke) -Amnesiac tsundere who doesn't change overtime and forgets the calm, caring moments (louise, kaname) -Their masochistic male counterparts who continue to take beatings from them (saito). One reason I leally liked Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma was because he didn't take shit from anyone. -(not really a trope) but characters with nasally voices (except youhei from Clannad) -"monster of the week" -all the girls in the cast have really high pitched voices -excessive use of lateral camera panning -when they put 2 or more subtitles on the screen and expect us to read them both in a split second, much less know who's saying what since they all sound the same -When VAs change between dubs -When the show is supposed to be having an emotional moment but the music during or after ruins the mood I'll add more later.

  • Filler. I realize most shows with a coherent plot will make use of filler and/or padding, but it's just so prevalent in anime. Having giant chunks of the series just take up space is terrible for a story. Bonus points when either: A. It later contradicts something B. A new, annoying character is introduced and doesn't go away
