What event occuring in anime do you hate the most?
kristen:
Accidental infringement. It's way too overused, and it's just forcing fanservice instead of letting it come naturally. For instance, any time somebody is on a step ladder, they will fall off resulting in a guy's face in a girl's panties. If you want to have ecchi that badly, make something like Ikkitousen with paper clothing. =.=
hoppurr:
recap episodes...
not all of them are bad but some are just plain old horrible and even the good ones aren't really necessary
as for what i said earlier about filler episodes not progressing the plot, well that would defeat the point of them being 'filler' if they made such a change to the story as to make the anime too far out of sync with the manga
not to say it never happens but when it does im sure it would be even worse then the filler itself.

I'm not sure what I hate the most but...
1. When a comedic anime inevitably forces a serious situation near the end in order to form some kind of conclusion. Excel Saga comes to mind, though it was ironic fashion - there are plenty of love comedies or slice of life ones that end on this painful, bittersweet, overly sappy conclusion.
2. Using a transfer student as a means of generating conflict or pushing the plot forward. It's just so very hackney at this point, especially when there's one every other episode like with Infinite Stratos.
3. The repetition of the shonen battle-manga formula of the protagonist losing in competition to his (as it usually is a he) rival or arch nemesis, somehow surviving, dwelling on the defeat, seeking some new power which dwarfs his former capabilities, then having a rematch resulting ultimately in victory. There simply must exists a better way to do things then rehashing this over and over and over again.
4. When they force sympathy for the villain. Naruto did/does this far too much. Either the sympathy should flow naturally from the story telling, or it shouldn't happen at all.
5. With the rare exception of Baccano! and the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi - I hate disjointed chronology in story telling - like when they start in the middle of story and then return to the beginning simply because they want to introduce all the characters early to draw interest.
6. Transformation sequences.
7. When they use 3-D CGI when two-dimensional animation would simply fit better. Nodame Cantabile and Gundam Seed come to mind immediately.
8. Repetition of stop-action sequences in lieu of actually spending the effort on animation.
9. When a character is supposedly killed at some point - only to be miraculously revived later.
10. When it's so close to being pornography, it's like.. why bother? You might as well just go for the real thing. Queen's Blade is hardly alone, but it stands out.
Roven:
Anythung that is not Lucky Star pisses me off ;D jk
WhiteSparrow:
When the writers introduce characters with disabilities just for the sake of accidental booby grabs/crotch-to-teh-face!/panty shot moments.
Then they leave all the nasty, unattractive parts off. Balance Disorder is no laughing matter! >:(
Seriously, the amount of accidental trip-trip-tripping there is in some animes just makes me question "why doesn't s/he go see a doctor about that?".
2nd thing that causes fits of rage is bad story writing, and everything that results from that. I can sit through a lot of repetitive transformation sequences, deliverances of Large Ham and other assorted, over-used clichés... As long as the story manages to keep me in its grip.
