The clothing trope is not a trope, it actually has purpose. Consistency in the design is used to make the character iconic and easily recognizable. Take cosplaying as an example. You can recognize the character they're portraying because of the consistent design.

[@Commenter839]

I think Cardcaptor Sakura is the only exception to this that I know of. Sakura (and most of the characters) have a new outfit in pretty much every episode, in addition to Sakura putting on a new costume every time she's about to get up to her magical girl shenanigans- all in all, Sakura alone has had at least 100 outfit changes. And a ton of her outfits are instantly recognizable, too. I can only guess whoever designed her really liked their job

[@Kaisona2017]

The Strawhats have many outfit changes over the course of the series. It’s a 50/50 chance they’ll get changed, whenever they go to a new island.

[@loocydity6119]

@@Commenter839 I think that's probably bcs their target audience are mostly young girls and they brand their anime as a shojo anime that's focused on magical girls and dress ups. Though the ones that are consistent are their style of clothing and accesories like staffs that makes them recognizable cmiiw

[@loocydity6119]

@@Kaisona2017 true truee.. but still they kept the same outfit if they're still in the same island, no? Even though it took.. idk probably 50 episodes to clear an island (sorry, i don't watch OP). I say that's long enough to make ppl get familiar with the outfits and plus, their striking features (like hats) are such a huge boost to their design

[@Commenter839]

@@loocydity6119 Even by magical girl standards, Sakura changes outfits a lot. The creators actively decided against giving her a default costume to transform into, the way most magical girls do. So the "stock transformation footage" is really just her key turning into a wand, usually edited each episode to match whatever outfit she's wearing. She does have a "signature" outfit that's seen on a lot of promotional art, but she only wears that outfit in the first opening. The in-universe explanation for all this is that her friend enjoys designing a variety of outfits and costumes (there's leotards, jester outfits, fluffy dresses, and just about everything in between) This is on top of Sakura and everyone else never wearing the same casual outfits twice. It's no exaggeration when I say whoever did the character designs had to have loved their job

Don't think the same clothes trope is really a big deal considering that one, is a common thing in most cartoons these days, two keeping to one outfit consistently allows for recognizability, (like with the case of the color pallatte block to where you can tell a certain character just by their colors), and three it saves time. Yeah, realistically, people don't wear the same thing every day, but when it comes to animation and shows, choosing one outfit and sticking to it makes it easy for animators and illustrators. That isn't to say a character can't change outfits every now and then, but having one single outfit that is most common is a way for the character to stick out or fit a theme. Changing it up can symbolize other things such as character progression.

[@itapi697]

My theory about the fatherless main character is because of Japanese society. Most of the time that dad works a job really late and isn’t involved with his child’s life or he doesn’t get to see his family because of how brutal work culture in Japan is.

The trope that annoys me the most is in isekai when the main character attempts to justify owning slaves because they “treat them well.” At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how well you treat your slaves because you already lost all base that you could have in an argument as you support a system which kidnaps other people and forces them into bondage. And what’s worse is when they try to justify it because slavery is “part of (insert kingdom’s name here)’s culture.” Like bro, you’ve literally broken almost every single law in the kingdom and have ignored almost every custom said kingdom has, but somehow owning another person is the one thing you can’t change because it’s “part of their customs?” 🙄

If you reveal the details of your abilities and your weaknesses, stuff that it’s clearly advantageous to your opponent, you get a boost to your own cursed energy.

[@thenew4559]

The trope which I hate the most is when the main hero gets so hung-up about refusing to kill the villain, even when no realistic alternative exists for stopping the guy (like he's too powerful to safely put in jail). This is an especially pernicious trope in battle shounen stories, where just about every protagonist is like this (besides ironically some of the most popular, like Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach). When Mr Big Bad has already killed countless innocent people and is a threat to the entire world, it is more than justified to kill him...he 100% deserves to die. No, killing him would not be "murder" nor would it make the hero just as bad as the villain, that's stupid. I could understand if it were just the hero having difficulty coming to terms with the grave nature of killing someone, but it's never just that; the hero always has to make a moral issue about it. And as a result, more often than not, the author will warp to plot to come up with some contrived way for the hero to defeat the villain without directly killing him (or at least, the hero himself won't be the one to kill the villain). This can easily ruin an otherwise great story for me.

[@akazienoel2009]

Well, the hxh cast is also kind of an exception, nearly everyone killed at least once, even the younger or more innocent looking (This comment honestly has no further goal, other than to push hxh whenever I can)

[@300kyuubi]

This is why the hero society is flawed in my hero academia. Kill the main villain, save a million lives. Take the main villain to jail, only to have him and many other very dangerous villains escape, lose a million lives, then have innocent people blame you for this happening, have the whole world hate you because you couldn’t stop all said villains. Nah, I COULD stop it! If you let me oh I don’t know….KILL THEM SO THIS WOULDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN!?!?! But oh no no, that will look bad in the image of the public and ruin your reputation and status as a hero. You can’t kill villains now mr.hero, because killing is wrong. Despite the fact this bastard just shot up a whole orphanage, did unspeakable things to 18 women, and had one parking violation. Nope! Can’t kill him for that, take him to jail to make him think about what he’s done. Oh yeah, here’s some money for saving the day hero. Jesus Christ AllMight you should have killed All For One when you did…..

The trope that annoys me is when the main character is pretty much afraid of p*ssy despite all his inner thoughts being about his sexual interest in girls and eyeing up one of his friends, but as soon as one of them gets near him he just stiffens up like a plank with whited-out eyes and gritted teeth and freaks tf out.

That reminds me of Yamcha in early Dragonball, though he actively wanted to overcome that fear and eventually succeeded.

My most hated tropes are anime nose bleeds and tsunderes. The nose bleeding got so annoying I actually dropped an anime series for it (forgot the name, but I know it was a pretty old anime). The same can be said for Toradora. It was a great romance anime, but everytime the mc would get he's head clobbered in, I wanted to just stop the episode. Ngl, I think tsunderes made me love villainous mc's. If someone tried punching the villainous mc, man would break the person's arm and pull a reverse card, man or female. Or just defend himself. Kazuma and Guts are two examples.

It should be pointed out that one of the romance anime's you were showing, 'Komi-san can't Communicate' is actually a more better done version that doesn't have the standard tropes. The Main Character is not a loser, he's just a completely average guy, he doesn't start the series by having a crush on his love interest, he becomes her friend because she has a communication disorder that he found out and agree's to help her with, spurring her attraction to him that eventually becomes mutual. The series is not entirely romantic, with most of it being a slice of life with Tadano trying to help Komi improve in speaking to others and being more social. So while it panders to the typical tropes of a romantic highschool anime, it does them in a much more fun and inventive way that either makes you laugh, or feel entertained.

I think the "explain the ability" trope can be kind of fixed if it implies the character thinking their next moves in their head instead of saying out loud. We audience still need some kind of info to know wassup,in which case, solving it by using the character's inner monologue.

[@cassualtea2040]

I like it better in times where we kind of figure it out as we go along. It adds a feeling of urgency and panic when you dont know anything and have to guess with context clues along with the opponent in the fight. It makes the threat more threatening when we need to see it to learn more about it.

[@kyriss12]

Like in the guy Richie Sherlock Holmes movies where he would plan every step of a fight before hand, or kirito vs heclif fight in sao abridged where they subvert the trope with kirito getting knocked on his ass while his still coming up with his fight plan.

[@remwastaken]

i think that whole trope is a crutch for authors to explain what the fuck is going on without having to put in the effort to flesh out the abilities and/or to just make shit flashy for the sake of it so you don't know what's happening, more prominent in manga imo. Like great mangakas will be able to explain the flow of a fight with just their drawings, but if you're not able to do that all that well you just put some random smear lines on their legs and arms and have the sidekick explain the fight in the background. No shade to artists/storywriters since i've never tried either so i don't know how good i could be but it really feels like the easy way out sometimes.

Mei Mei from jujutsu kaisen was also very unlikeable in the shibuya arc since all of her dialogue with her *kid* brother were basically innuendos.

Japan romance tends to break the moments just to have longer stories and it also tends to have fast romance progress.

So from her stance, she thought the whole 'loli' stuff wasn't as bad because she was always mistaken for a child and has those sorts of features, so she believed it's just an appearance thing that can't be controlled.

I like your list here, and i'm just going to add some of mine: 1) the "kind" MC trope: where MC is set as a kind person but is actually just naive. Example is that thing i read where MC is getting bullied by her "bestfriend". Bully is not even hiding it, but MC is still "she's my bestfriend even tho she's blatantly bullying me we're still friends", "coz i'm a good person, i'm not gonna defend myself and just show my bestfriend(bully) the power of kindness by treating obviously mean people kindly coz i'm nice". Like hello? There's a difference between kindness and stup!dity. You are not kind, you are just dumb. Tried giving it a chance so i read 100+ ch but nothing's changed so i dropped it. 2) the naive/clumsy = cute trope: there are some where being naive/clumsy is cute, but some manga is over doing it that it's just annoying. Female lead always dropping things, always falling down, doing stup!d things, have no self awareness, always trusting people, etc. It's too much, it's annoying. Maybe that's why i like characters that are smart, and actually have a backbone.
