In Every Anime there is...

[Blood]

Have you Ever noticed that in almost EVERY anime in existance there is:

The Leaf that flies past the charecters face, you know the one with the circle cut out of the side, always the same shape.

The little animle of some kind that follows the charecters everywhere, Weather they know it or not.

Unbreakable strings, in some form or another, someone fights using strings that usualy can catch on fire due to something or other.

And other sorts of things like that? There is, its like some Rule for if you intend to make an anime it MUST contain said Items, for every anime I have had the pleasure of veiwing, has had these things and others, please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed this

[Sushigirl]

hmmm well i do notice some of this but i think it's just alot of anime is the same and use that kinda stuff cuz they like it or sumtin...

[Gyro Zeppeli]

None of those are on s-CRY-ed

[Cream Soda]

figures...........

[Blood]

Are you sure Kazuma? I am pretty sure I saw all of them in there...but I have no idea its been forever since I've had TV lol

[Gyro Zeppeli]

There is no creature following them (unless you count Mujo who is a different sort of "creature")

Ive only seen trees once on the island in one episode and it never shows leaves blowing.

And I havent seen any strings other than Zetsuei's ribbons which never are caught on fire and they break rather easily

[Blood]

Well I knew I saw the strings at least... And at the beging of the anime isn't there an episode where they are in a memory and back at grrr that one guys houes (I don't remember his name, blue hair?) and there were trees and leafs there

[Gyro Zeppeli]

the trees are in the background in the flashback and they arent blowing (its a recurring flasback so I know it pretty well). The strings are similar but slightly different than the cliche dictates

[Blood]

the cliche states that someone fights with them Usually they catch on fire due to something or another (though sometimes not, hence the usually)
And >.< I really don't know the show as well as I would like to

[thirdimpact6633]

There is always an incredibly hot girl (usually has big t!ts), and the guy that is always serious.

[Blood]

>.< Sad, but true

[Duuz]

I've never seen any of these things in Legend of Galactic Heroes, Mobile Suit Gundam, AT Votoms or Armor Hunter Mellowlink.

cuase those are like an anime trademark
tokyo mew mew
bleach
naruto*i think they were black*
but theres tons of other animes with them in it too

THERE ALWAYS HAS TO BE TWO GUYS FIGHTIN EACH OTHER BUT THEYRE ON THE SAME SIDE
ALWAYS!
and that is so f'ed up

sasuke & naruto
ichigo & ishida
kyo & yuki
ed & roy
any season of digimon

~unless its a girl anime but sometimes theres girls who fight each other too like sailor moon with sailor mars~
but either way THAT IS AN ANIME LAW!!!!

I was talking to a friend of mine about these anime cliches a few years back and would like to add in that majority of animes that I have seen there is this character standing at the topmost part of a tree (or wherever high) overlooking the scenery, an anime character with wings or just feathers flying everywhere...and yeah, the cherry blossoms is overrated.

[Kyo_Kitty999]

the funny thing about the cherry blossom petals is that i can never draw them right

[Katsuyo]
