Ive been watching an unusually large amount of anime recently and i thought it would be funny to make a list of all the anime cliches we see so often
1. If a character falls on another character of the opposite gender, they must fall in an awkward semi-romantic face to face manner. (Additionally, there is a high chance that if the falling character is male, he will grab the female characters boobs as he falls)
2. Whenever a character makes a confident statement, then a side character (usually female) will proceed to say the characters name in awe followed by ... ex Bacon: I will destroy that evil character and save the world Hot Bacony Side Character: Bacon-kun...
3. If the mentor to the main character is male, he must be a pervert.
4. The love interest of any character must be an air-head who acts like a 10 year old, but is strangely ok with sexualized situations
5. If a side character is female and whose sole purpose is to be "cute" she will have a very repetitive catch phrase. For some reason 50% of the time this catch phrase will be "nyan"
6. If a female character is friends with a main male character and she is a dick to him, she is also in love with him
7. The villain of an action anime has a 50% chance to lose to the power of friendship.
Please post more! These were fun to come up with

1. If a character is turned on their nose bleeds
2. If a character is late to school they run to school with food (usually bread or toast) in their mouth
3. The character sitting next to the window in class is always either the delinquent main character, the shy/quirky love interest, and/or the mysterious transfer student In all cases the majority of classroom scenes take place next to that window
4. Many things in anime openings
5. If the vilian wears glasses they always either have glare or he adjusts them at a dramatic time If the villian hasnt been revealed yet you can usually guess based on how much attention is given to the character's glasses, the more glare or adjustment, the more likely that character is to be an evil sociopath
6. If breasts are of size E or larger they always have no regard for the laws of physics DD is in a quantum superposition, sometimes they obey physics sometimes they dont
7. If a character is female and doesnt have a "normal" hair color she is always a 'dere character type and the animators always color code the character types Tsunderes always have pink, light red or light purple hair color Yanderes always have light pink, red, dark red or dark purple hair Kuuderes always have teal, light blue, green, or greyish-blue hair Danderes always have greyish-light-purple, dark blue, blue, or aqua

1. waterworld at some point, no matter how improbable, physically impossible or inexplicable, there will be a hot spring / bathhouse scene. the exact outcome will be: 1 character unconscious due to nosebleed; 1 character unconscious due to peeping and being caught; 1 character blissfully ignorant of this; the rest in general chaos. optionally: 1 character fell on another while toweled*
*does not care about physics bullshit
2. the cool guy hunch** the angle of hunch is directly related to coolness of character. while this applies to both good and evil characters, evil has an addendum where, if they are hunched past a critical point, they can be creepy instead
**only applies if character usually has their hands in their pockets, behind their head or just generally not where a normal person keeps them. otherwise, it can be inferred that the character is simply over 80 years old and is just bent
3. his power level is... exactly a bit higher than yours was at the start of the fight, and slightly lower than it after
