Anime Trends for better or worst, YOUR opinion

(1/9) > >>

Mabz:
I thought it would be interesting to see the communitys thoughts on trends and outright cliche's in anime series today.

Simply name a trend, cliche, or some sort of up and coming change that you have noticed in most series and mention if it is for the benefit of anime or simply a distraction.

An example would be the use of "fan service" shots for a general ratings boost, in some cases yeah its a decent change of pace in a comedy (such as the panty flash during Zetsubou Sensei to instigate an already crazy episodic plot) and at other times its just a lame excuse to keep your attention on what is a mediocre series.

Don't think too hard into a trend! If you have seen it in a few series it's probably popping up in many more. Just share your opinion on if a particular trend is distracting, keeps you coming back to anime, or if it is only entertaining in certain circumstances.

Benpc91:
Moe.

It's everywhere.

If you create a series today, and it has no moe, it will not succeed.

Cien Laguoire:
Bishonens and sexual ambiguity.

Much like moe, if the cast doesn't have some bishonens or implied/blatant homolust in it, it's not going to be as popular as it should. Not that I have anything against it, but it's becoming too trendy.

Too many episodes of bad shows.

Too little episodes of good shows.
