Cliches. I absolutely DESPISE cliches. It shows that the writers are too lazy to come up with anything original, and IT TICKS ME OFF.

..............

BUT there are those cliches that आप just can't help but love. Whether it's because they're cool, funny, या downright awesome, आप just can't resist loving the crap out of them! And it's no wonder they never seem to leave.

My name is Jared, and today we're counting down My चोटी, शीर्ष 10 ऐनीमे Cliches!

#10. Deserved Slapstick

What I mean द्वारा this is a character doing something wrong/bad and paying for it. It's not only satisfying to see the douche-bag of a person they are getting what they deserved to them RIGHT in the face, but it also creates a sense of comedy.

And I KNOW I've mentioned COUNTLESS times where this was done wrong because the writers were too stupid to realize that a character needs to do something wrong for this to take effect in the right way, but that really does need to be at least MENTIONED when talking about slapstick.

But when आप do it right, OH MAN do आप do it right! आप often not only see a mean and generally unlikable character having it दिया to them School Days style, but it's just so fun to watch.

I know it's been done INFINITY times and I know it's getting old at this point of time, but I can't help but at least chuckle every time I see this.

And that's why it makes #10 on this list.

#9. The Relaxing Episode

Alright, so आप have five episodes IN A ROW of hardcore fighting and a deep story. Yeah, it's cool to watch, but it also gets hard to keep on doing so.

Non-stop action and story, and trust me on this one, will ALWAYS eventually bore आप to death. So what do आप do? A Relax episode.

What I mean द्वारा that is an episode that generally has a lot of comedy in it and is there to keep a good pace in the show. I like these because not only does it give us a chance to breathe and just enjoy the दिखाना without taking in much information, but it keeps the ऐनीमे consistent and well-paced.

And there's not much else I can say on this one. I just like a good episode where I can wind down and enjoy some funny moments.

And that's why they make #9 on this list.

#8. The Past

Finally, a SERIOUS entry on this list! It's about time!

Anyways, what I'm referring to here is when a character reveals a very dark and depressing past that has scarred them to this day. This is not only EPIC AS HELL, but we also get quite a lot of character development and story here!

And don't lie, when your प्रिय character in an ऐनीमे gets some good backstory, आप GO HYPER FAN-GIRL 5,000!

And it's hard not to get completely sucked into what's happening on the screen. These moments are often done really well with some dramatic as hell संगीत in the background, and आप can bet I shed a few tears on each one.

And that's why these moments are #8 on this list.

#7. The Epic Character

आप KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! That ONE character that is such a BADASS आप can't help but fall right out of your chair whenever आप see the-

*Falls out of chair* OW!

So, yeah! A lot of ऐनीमे use this cliche and even though it's getting kind of dated, आप still gotta प्यार it. I mean, where would we be without our Kazuma Yagami? Our Kyoya Tategami, our Meta Knight, our Masquerade, and our Bass.EXE?

I don't think I have to say much more, I just like that one REALLY cool character! They're awesome, powerful, and put a sense of triumph in every ऐनीमे they appear in.

And that's why they make number 7 on this list.

#6. Swords

That literally it. Just.... Swords! I mean, आप can't have a कूलर weapon than a freaking SWORD!

I don't even know why I picked these out of all the weapons in the ऐनीमे world, they're just so awesome! And that statement is even और true in सूपरनॅचुरल anime.

Characters could be using Pyrokinesis, Cryokinesis, summoning monsters, they have so many options for powers!

But when आप pick a sword in a world where everyone has magical abilities and सूपरनॅचुरल powers, THEN आप ARE THE MOST EPIC BAD-ASS ON EPIC BAD-ASS AVENUE.

But द्वारा far the best type of sword is the flame sword. Words cannot possibly comprehend how epic the आग sword is.

Epic is a severe understatement. Saying it's awesome is insulting it. No word in any dictionary ever made can even come close to stating how truly amazing the flame sword is.

It takes anything and annihilates everything. Enough said.

#5. The Hopeless Moment

Now we get into the चोटी, शीर्ष 5, starting with The Hopeless Moment.

What I'm referring to when I say that is a situation in an ऐनीमे that seems like there's no solution. A part of the दिखाना that seems like आप can't do anything, and that the हीरोस have lost.

For example, let's take the सेकंड श्रेक movie. (SPOILERS FOR THE FEW PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET THAT HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MOVIE.)

In the near-end, everybody is tied up and left in a dungeon. The Prince and Fiona are already starting their dance, and it seems like there's no way out of it.

But then Gingy, being the epic bad-ass of a gingerbread he is, manages to untie everyone's chains and set our हीरोस free so they can stop the Prince from चुंबन Fiona before midnight.

........................

I can't believe I just talked about श्रेक in an ऐनीमे article. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! =D

Anyways, this isn't really JUST for ऐनीमे as आप just saw, but it's one of the better examples of how this can be handled.

The most epic part of "The Hopeless Moment" is when something miraculous happens that saves the heroes, like the earlier mentioned Gingy.

Plus, it's ALWAYS hilarious seeing the bad guy be all like "WHAT!? But I KILLED YOU! @___@" And having them being slaughtered द्वारा the hero.

And that's why The Hopeless Moment makes #5 on this list.

#4. The Funny Character

Do I even need to explain this? XD

Similar to the relaxing episode, The Funny Character not only gives a sense of comedy and relief during the middle of the serious moments, (While not actually ruining the serious moments) but it just makes the दिखाना और enjoyable.

A great example of this is Sunohara from Clannad. He's always doing silly things that make the audience laugh while never really coming off as annoying.

*COUGH COUGH प्यार HINA COUGH COUGH*

Lastly, I can't believe I put the funny character over the epic one..... Wow Jared.

Wow.

SO YEAH. With that one funny character always making the best out of the worst situations, they make #4 on this list. =D

#3. A Catchy Theme Song

HELL YEAH! I was waiting to get to this one for a LONG time.

So, theme songs. A great opportunity to not only get your viewer interested into your show, but to give them a fun and catchy song to sing to!

FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.......

All jokes aside, I प्यार a great opening. But आप know what I HATE!? When an ऐनीमे has a great theme song and downright ABANDONS it.

I know I say that a lot, but I can't help it, IT'S SO ANNOYING.

And that's all there is to say about good theme songs. They hype us up for the दिखाना and make us glad we're alive.

And that's why catchy theme songs are #3 on this list.

#2. Twists

Have आप ever watched an ऐनीमे and one part made आप go "WOAH! :O"? That's what I mean.

Twists not only offer a drastic turn in the anime's story, but often reveal a key plot-point that was earlier in the story, या just a reveal of an amazing fact.

It really keeps आप intrigued in the ऐनीमे while also telling a story, and that's harder to do than it sounds.

Plus, let's face it, twists will probably never die. And आप can't blame everyone for using it either, because twists in the story are just that effective.

And that's all I can say for this segment. They're effective and always surprise the hell out of you.

And that's why twists make #2 on this list.

#1. Secret Evil Organizations

HELL. FUCKING. YES.

Yeah, आप didn't see this one coming did you?

AND THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TWIST! =D

Seriously though, I downright प्यार these in anime. They're so mysterious, so bad-ass, and so funny ALL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME!

Some examples of this are World Three/The WWW from Megaman Network Warrior, Ragnarok from Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple, and a million others out there that are so COOL.

And that's one of the best parts of these, just how downright AWESOME they are.

They also really add a good story to the anime, and I feel that they always turn out great.

Secret evil organizations are mysterious, epic, and sometimes even funny! And that's why they're #1 on my list.
