The ULTIMATE Anime Tropes Tier List

[@thomasffrench3639]

The problem with seasonal anime is that some series don’t get continuations. This is changing but it’s been a problem. Filler arcs can be good, but it’s pretty hard to make good.

[@PrograError]

Also some of the adaptations just have shit art/ animation compare to the story... it's basically cookie cutter character design and animation framing... IMO Ascension of the Bookworm is one series that comes to mind. The design and background is very basic, and the story just have too much cuts... (tho it does hit many of the beats.) it's basically the classic manga/ LV promo anime

[@NihongoWakannai]

​@@PrograError yeah, some anime adaptations are just trash compared to the manga because they put so little effort in. If an adaptation is really well done, I prefer it over manga. But a well drawn manga with a unique artstyle is waaaay better than a mediocre anime with a generic art style and no interesting animation.

[@MohaASeck]

Sometimes Fillers add consistency to some scenes or development of characters thinking about Law’s flashbacks being developed in the anime more than in the manga.

[@FreakyD83]

My most hated trope is when the villains have OP powers that can be activated Thanos style. Theres always the bad guy who can instantly mow down millions of people with no effort. Imagine this from the npc's standpoint, where you're just mowing your lawn and some bad guy strolls in and makes you explode for the lolz. Obviously this is done to show off how bad they are and what a threat they are in general, and especially to the heros. But the villains often times don't use these insta-kill abilities against the hero, or the protag has a special ability tat stops it from working on them for some reason. Seems so contrived to me. Also prudish male protags. Girls are literally trying to drown the dude in their wetness, and he's like "NOOOOO MY PRECIOUS PURITY! BEGONE THOTT". Dude in one of this seasons animes literally jumps out a window every time the thirsty-ass fairy queen remotely suggests shacking up. As if any single old dude in their right mind would be opposed to that attention. Especially when its a f'n AI video game character coming on to him.

[@D4rkn3ss2000]

you know? in Symphogear the girls don't shout out their attacks, their attack names appear in a very stylish way on the screen. yet another reason to watch Symphogear ;)

[@trollface9903]

Recently I've been having a nostalgia trip with the Beyblade series. For sure what makes that show fun despite being a toy commercial is that its a sports anime with signature attacks.

[@ericamborsky3230]

There's a sick part of me that wishes that the 'tradition' kissing under the mistletoe was known to the makers of romcom anime and manga, purely for the shenanigans it might cause. It has already caused so many shenanigans in Archie comics.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I don’t know if that tradition is a thing in Japan.

[@bernieburton6520]

I've only ever seen that done in a series that actually takes place in the US or Europe. It's not a Japanese custom. Christmas in Japan is basically three things, it's a big date day for couples, it's the biggest day of the year for eating KFC chicken and strawberry cakes. Actual Western Christmas customs aren't really understood or practiced in Japan for the most part.

[@ivansoto9723]

@@thomasffrench3639 Idek if its still a thing in the US tbh lol. It's one of those ancient things you see in old Christmas movies but not anywhere else.

[@tims3329]

Inner monologues, and Power Ups are some of my favourite tropes. But goddam when they are abused, they are painful as fuck to witness. The most recent best example of this is Tanjirou in Demon Slayer. (incoming rant) He doesn't shut the hell up in his own head, and it's not about strategising, it's just him repeating "I can't give up", "I can't breathe", "my leg is broken (while running on it)". And the absolute asspulls of his powerups. He had THREE flashback powerups in ONE fight. Flashback powerups are already F tier. Three of them is just criminal. They have done training arcs decently so far though. Not too long or short, and not overly boring.

[@natalimoina]

It's part of his character to let's call it "hype himself up". Dunno what you mean by flashback powerups though. Only one that comes to mind is the one in ep 19, which was extremely well set up and you can't really consider an asspull.

[@lasaboteur]

[@Truck-kun11]

I personally didn't have many problems with the "Power of Friendship" in Fairy Tail for the most part as the Series explains early on that Magic is fueled by emotions so a character gaining a power boost due to great determination or strong emotions for the most part time made sense....However, I'm not blind to say that the Series didn't use too much, especially towards the end. But it's still one of my favorite animes (Partly due to nostalgia)

[@tiosevenstars]

They tried to turn the troupe "explosive emotions" into the power system itself like how explaining your powers makes you stronger in JJK. Unfortunately the anime fandom's influence is stronger, and anything they tried to do just still appear as the same thing to the fandom TuT

[@Stars01853]

Besides a certain couple of Erza examples, I think Fairy Tail actually does an okay job with the PoF by actually making it an in-verse source of strength for the characters.

Absent parents sadly a sort of must. You cant be free with storytelling if your characters half+ story is "how to dodge the parent chain" You want something like a Dexters lab, where nobody in the neighbourhood realise there's a mountain of sci-fi crap is going on in the backyard? Or you want to avoid the "lobby" problem. How can you create a grand, world exploring adventure if you have obligation to turn up somewhere? In rom-com we want to have the "alone scene" so parents are dead or on a business trip for eternity... Hornimiya played the parents card right, every other show usually either plays the abusive parent - female lead becomes a damsell trope or parent come up with a prearranged marriage arc... Not many shows can play it correctly. My guess MHA is so hyped, because it does have a generational appeal. Its a family shounen that you could watch with your kids, because its not just kids in school changing the world. We do see some parent moment that a parent watcher can enjoy too. But I guess why its unrealistic. For me, whats on the same level as this specific "trope" is the "we ALWAYS have time" in a romance show. Learning? Working? House chores? Who cares. If you want a full day scene you get a full day scene even if the gimmick of certain character is (s)he is a workaholic. I know its hardcore mutual simping, but sometime you must say "I don't have time" And this is tied together where the whole damn harem just decide to improvise at the same place at the same time... Lets create some moments together with characters, make some synergies instead: "oh no... I accidentally walked into a lingery store, and EVERY girl I know somehow knows ONLY THIS shop in whole Tokyo, and every girl buys stuff at the same day"

Stop explaining powers. Let the viewers figure it out alongside the characters.

That can in some cases just leave to confusion and misconception, those explanation are there for solidify answers and not guessing. It really comes down to how its handled and what purpose it serves as something inbetween is ideal. This "explanation trope" is more relevant to fantasy stories and such where the rules work differently to real life, hence why animes about gun shooting doesn't need explanation because the goal is just shoot the target rather than explain abilities, etc.

Honestly as someone who likes watching death battle anime (or just battle anime in general, like Food Wars) when i got nothing in my watchlist, you just get used to it. I think I've watched well over 20 series from that kind of genre alone (stuff like Darwin's Game or 5 Minute Battle) and there's definitely good and bad execution. I think there's two key aspects of good execution: treating the viewers as smart people, and having a narrator that leans into the hype instead of turning it into a lecture. When it does both of those things, i find it's not really a hindrance to my experience.

Can we talk about the “if we move your fringe to the side out of your eyes, you’ll be 10x hotter” trope.

Recent examples were Amane from Angel next door, Tomozaki from bottom tier character Tomozaki, and Mizuto from StepMom’s daughter is my Ex, at least from memory. Mind you, these were all produced by Studio Project No.9 so idk if its their own design input or actually in their respective mangas.

[@ulrik03]

On Frieren: up to now in the anime my impression is that Frieren is, physically, a teenager, or the equivalent of 20 years at most. That still affects her mental, even if she has a millenia of life behind her. It does not look as if elves in Frieren-world age for a relatively short amount of years (25 or 60 or 100 in other settings), instead it's just....stretched out. Kraft treats her like a youngster, and she looks like it as well. Millennia old introvert/neurodivergent teenager is a vibe.

I wouldn't be surprise if they don't have a concrete age. Since they're lack romantic feelings or a urge to reproduce.

You know not all species develop the same as humans but just on different timescales, right? Humans actually have an exceptionally long maturation time relative to our life expectancy. And there's no particular reason why elves would have to develop more slowly. Furthermore, anyone gets treated as a youngster when they are... younger. In some industries you'll be surrounded by very old people and be treated as a youngster even if you're like 50 years old.

Harems is a solid C tier. It can be done well, but it is stupid in most series. It’s something that should exist, but not as often as it is used in anime. I pretty much hate the trope, and it is a good filter for me so I don’t have to watch it.

It's a matter of looking at things in reverse as well. A "bad" trope is POSSIBLE to be done well, but it's easy and commonly done poorly. And a "good" trope CAN be done well, but also be done bad. It's not quite as nuanced as "case by case basis" since there is clear skews and trends in what tropes can easily be identified as having negative impacts on the story. But it is close.

[@Smilomaniac]

The worst tropes are missing. 1. The single worst one is guys getting the absolute shit beaten out of them by some girl and it being played off like nothing happened. I don't mean slapstick, I don't mean the pervert getting his just rewards, I mean full on violence because an entitled brat feels a little embarrassed or doesn't like the response or reaction they get. It is absolutely reprehensible and it is deeply hypocritical when male on female violence is a massive taboo. Not only is it entirely appalling, I think it has become irresponsible. Oreimo is an example of this where the sister will slap, punch, gut-shot, nut-kick and headbutt her brother to the point where he's filled a trash bin with bloody tissues. The show even indicates that she is way out of line but never addresses it. 'Tomo-chan is a girl' is another example of this, where she beats up her love interest, but while it's played off like brothers fighting, she's also a literal martial artist renowned for being very strong and very violent. He can't even fight back and has to manage her being completely serious when she does this and not only protect himself, but not hurt her. This is abuse on display. If a woman gets deeply offended and slaps a guy, then that's enough. There doesn't need to be more than that. In fact an abusive wife who doesn't outright beat her husband, but slaps him on the regular and can make him flinch is so much more of an effective character if that's the goal. I got into a lot of fights when I was a kit and it was horrible. What was done to me and how far I went in return is something that I still carry several decades later and it makes me so sad and so disappointed that people don't understand the consequences of the physical and mental harm. At this point it stops being fiction and it gets a little too close to reality without addressing it and it's just flat out wrong. 2. Strong characters when it's not appropriate. A 4 foot tall girl in a medieval setting who swings not just a sword, but a buster sword like it's a game, with zero explanation of how that person got that strength. Note that I'm not talking about magical characters or game characters. Guts is admittedly also an example of this, but the story very much gives reasons for why he should be able to, even if those are bad. When there is no reason, when people just carry around gigantic weapons like Aisha Belka from 'is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon' who has this massive cutlass, it more than strains the suspension of disbelief. It's one thing when it's an eight foot hulking monster of a man who's about to pop all his arteries, it's another when it's a slender prostitute who spends most of her days in the red light district. 3. This is more of a Western thing, anime has been pretty good at avoiding it, but tiny 40kg girls who take out 12 male soldiers by herself is also just an awful trope. Under Ninja gives a great example of a woman who's a survivor of a battle royale upbringing and has become monstrously ripped and toughened. She has a great reason and the right body to pull off the feats that she does. I don't mind strong/physically capable women at all, that's not my big issue with the gender difference, it's that it demeans women when they are judged by the standards of men. Women have their own amazing capabilities and strengths that make them distinctly different from men and better in some situations. It's okay to have a physically strong woman, but then she's the exception, she has to be rare in order for this to be an effective character. When it's a trope, it becomes utterly meaningless and it devalues the effort put into being such a strong and skilled person to pull off incredible feats of strength. 4. The "misunderstanding". Someone barging in on a person during an unfortunate situation that is immediately misread because it really isn't what it looks like. Or someone confronting a person to hear their explanation and then within half a second deciding what the person means without hearing them out at all. These are lazy and cheap drama triggers. They're awful.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I feel like you just aren’t a huge fan of cartoon logic in your anime, which is pretty strange. It’s an animated product, and a bunch of other things that aren’t realistic appear in anime that you completely ignore such as anime characters that would have to be either on Steroids or are anorexic to get chiseled muscles. It also makes only men be capable of these crazy feats, but not women. It seems like you are giving different standards for different genders.

[@Smilomaniac]

@@thomasffrench3639 If you want to talk about this, talk, but don't give me this "you just don't get cartoons" or "you believe sexes are different" BS. Sexes, by the way, not "gender". Men and women. Boys and girls. Let me just hammer this home for you immediately; If you think men and women aren't fundamentally different, you have not been explained something very basic, or you've raised with or have bought into outright disinformation. The strength difference between men and women as soon as puberty hits is enormous. 12 year old boys beat professional women, who are in their prime, in sports. An average male who rarely works out, or even is sedentary for most of their life, can *easily* overpower women who train on the regular and perform martial arts. Doesn't mean they'll always win in a fight, it means the inherent advantage to testosterone and bone structure of men is massive. I'll just drive this stake down to the floor while I'm at it: There are no men's sports. Women are entirely free to participate in the NBA, NHL, NFL, FIFA or whatever sport they want if they're capable enough. Women's leagues specifically exist to exclude men due to the performance differences. If you further think that this somehow is misogyny, then you are a child. Women are socially far more competent than men and have a superior awareness of immediate and non-immediate circumstances, they see a broader spectrum of colors. Men have better spacial awareness. All of this to differing degrees of course. Recognizing these truths is important to respecting the sexes. Holding men and women to the same standard on certain things is not equal, it's very much unfair discrimination. Finally being chiseled means having a low fat percentage and being dehydrated, it doesn't mean you're anorexic (you wouldn't be able to build muscle mass) or on steroids. Just wrong, wrong and wrong. Next time you respond to someone, engage with what they're saying instead of firing off some prejudiced statement and unfounded information. Have some damn humility.

@@Smilomaniac​​⁠I never said they weren’t different, and sorry for using gender instead of sex. I said that saying that men can be unrealistic but not women is just strange.

Lyrical Nanoha is the best hero and villain team ups because at the end of the First Nanoha no matter the original series from 2004 opr the Nanoha the 1st movie, Nanoha Takamachi's bond and friendship with Fate Testarossa is one of the best moments in anime history, best example of an anime protagonist and antagonist teaming up, and then that antagonist becomes a good guy/deuteragonist in the next continuity, even in A's with the servants of the Book of Darkness(Signum, Vita, Zafira, and Shamal), they were enemies with Nanoha's group at first, and working hard to try and cure their master, Hayate Yagami, and then in the later parts close to the climax they team during the fight against the big bad guys, and stays allies in every future continuity, and Hayate joins Nanoha and Fate to become, "The Three Aces".

[@sutayabe]

How good is Nanoha? I was obsessed over the first 3 seasons when I was 10 something. I left it at StrikerS, but those 3 original iterations had shaped who I am today. My IGN is from Sutaraito Bureika (Starlight Breaker) one of the iconic attacks for me. The original season 2 was the best for me. The introduction of Vita and the fight with Natchwal was an out of world experience for me.

Ara ara trope is F tier for me because nowadays its clearly artificial and its on the same level of fanservice because the moment someone says ara ara its clearly an attempt to make horny bait to sell well and I dont like that artificial feeling of it especially since like every Vtuber ever gets this request everytime and it sounds cringe and awful and devalues the word.

[@meiwasstruc2914]

I agree, "Ara Ara" became bad as soon as it became a trope because now it feels forced almost every time you hear it

[@yaya-eh3fi]

Garnt have to play The coffin of Andy and Leyley on stream, I want to see his reaction

[@sageoftruth]

Loved his take on the deres. The best ones are the characters who become them by coincidence. When you set out from the start to make a dere, everything else that actually makes them good characters gets shunted down and forgotten. Honestly, I could probably say that about most of these tropes. If the writers are troping just for the sake of troping, they should just get a new job.

1000 year old loli not being S tier is a huge L

[@Onii-chans-neko]

I think the only "trope" i actively hate, is just chicks that hit or be ass's to dudes (mcs) for no reason, or a reason of their fault. Like in the shitty anime where they don't lock a door and the dude walk in, and gets hit...even though that was probably his own house or something. also like the Certain magical Index, index herself made me so angry, just leave the MC alone, stop biting him and acting like a child.

[@nat5281]

is this specific tier list actually available on tiermaker cos I cant seem to find it

[@dingding7289]

for me the best of hero/villain teamup is viral and spiral king, i only recently watched gurren lagann but god the second i saw those 2 i just knew i was going to love them.

[@SB-hw7hp]

As Monogatari fan, I didn't expect Gigguk mentioned many Monogatari stuff this time. Where is "Caught naked girl on accident" ? (No, it's not like I like it. Just wondering. Lol) Also in most case I like the trope "Sport match in non-sport anime" like tennis in Spy×Family, baseball in Haruhi Suzumiya, etc.

[@Ricardo_Rick]

i guess that is in the fanservice part

[@royalfun1031]

HxH

[@lsoli7021]

I like Gigguk but this video im not going to watch... just because it's just about his own taste and i dont want to see my favorite "tropes" rated low. Still liked to support.

[@tiborsipos1174]

Anime fillers are a bane of the industry. You, as a reader realise that there are NO progression. You just see an advert of the original work. A shounen story just repeats their own moves, a romance story don't have any step anywhere. Ok... it doesn't have anyway, but there's a difference between everyone steps1 or nobody moves, but at least they had screentime. I dropped so many good stories because of fillers. I dropped One Piece at the Dragon filler once, and dropped for years at the rainbow mist saga. When I was whinging about DGreyMan "team rocket" filler saga on a forum, someone explained to me what filler guides are. I know we have One Piece G8 and Bleach Zanpakuto rebellion filler, but that's like saying you can make a living by playing the lottery... The only exception for fillers are gag comedy series. Ie: Ranma1/2 and Gintama, concept are so goofy you would not realise its a filler, because setup can be so idiotic, I'm sure the author enjoys filler like "yo, why didn't I come with that shit up?"

[@ibrahimihsan2090]

52:50: KimiZero. And High Score Girl. That is if harem simply means a character loved by more than one girl. I don't hate that they did it but it made it less fun and more frustrating. Like, what's the point? Also, Oshi no Ko isn't easily considered a harem. I don't even think Akane Kurokawa has truly realized feelings for Aqua. Then again, I haven't read the manga. I love that show deep down in my heart anyways. And just hope season 2 is a banger with as great an opening song and ending song as the first season. I hope it comes out by August.

[@dramasense0000]

9:23 They shout attack names is Kamen Rider and they're not cringe. For me atleast🙂

[@Cyberengel14]

Honestly most choke dogVA perfomance by my boy grant in a long time. Fanservice is easily S Tier. Just because some people put too much spice in their soup, does that make the spice bad? No its the cook that is F Tier, the spice remains S tier. Literaly unwatchable.

[@runespar]

Nothing kills my excitement for a show the way a beach episode does.

[@rickchakraborty2087]

Maybe because you dislike fanservice in general.

[@runespar]

You're not wrong.

Shouting attack Dragon ball z "Final flash" aka hes fine attack Beach ep is C nothing happens super mid my hot take Slime girls and dragon girls go crazy also beta form eminence in shadows 100% agree with fan service is a spice a little is nice too much and it's trash Filler answer as a kid I watched dbz and caught bits and pieces of Naruto and bleach then as a teen I sat and watched Naruto all of it and God I was like y are so many episodes bs then I looked into it and learned of filler Hear me out fairy tale is good and when u realize what Natsu is it makes sense fighting to save your friends life is a good adrenaline booster I feel harem isekai or 80% trash Also old little girl Y like at least make then teens not fucking 8 year olds Power ups is S tier Over powered Mc is A tier for all the good it has lots of bad but the good is so good Time skips save u from so much bs I love them

[@isoshii]

If you hate Mineta check what his name means in polish, i don't believe it's a coincedence

[@bliss6417]

On that harem take, I feel like harem (or more precisely the degeneracy that comes with the trope) is what eventually ruined SAO. If you look at stuff like SAO: Progressive, you can see that having less characters to always have around makes up room for more interesting characters that actually matter to the plot.

[@leonardomiguelgarcia9458]

you forgot the anime hair trope hahahah

[@auro8236]

The trope that instantly de-values any piece of media and it’s writing to me is when a character being a pervert is played off as a joke. It makes me instantly despise the character, especially if it’s a reoccurring thing. That’s an issue when said character is meant to be your protagonist. I don’t want to watch someone I hate succeed. It’s why I instantly quit 7 Deadly Sins as soon as the protagonist started acting like a pervert 2 episodes in a row. It’s lazy, extremely unfunny, and makes me question the writer’s morales. If a show has a character consistently acting like a complete creep for no reason, whether it be a side character or a main character, the show gets dropped down a couple from whatever number I was going to rate it without that character. If the writer can’t care enough to give their character something good, I’m not going to care either.

What about the "this is many things but isekai sent one" isekais. I despise so many ch how every fantasy anime needs to start with 10 minutes of person dying getting reincarnated an then never have him being from the real world affecting anything even the slightest bit

The absolute best beach episode in my opinion was the ALTA beach episode with Azula, Zuko, Ty Lee, and Mai

The reason why calling your attack works is for a simple reason. Anime is secretly Pro wrestling in disguise.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Ever heard of Kinnikuman? That’s why most battle series are just like Pre Wrestling.
