What event occuring in anime do you hate the most?

[capnmorgan]

"This is just the beginning.."

*anime ends*

Cliffhangers at the last episode of an anime. Why? This won't make me want to read the manga, it'll make me wish the manga would end sooner so the anime will continue.

Do not watch "Bastard!" then.  They do that exact same thing.   

Dude, don't take anything in Bastard!  seriously.  It's as long as it needs to be and the great thing about it is if it needs to be picked up again, it can be.  If not, then leave it in that little nostalgic bit of our memories.  You don't want to drag it on and run out of stuff to do or a budget and then get dropped right in the middle of stuff do you?

Comedic moments in tense/dramatic situations.
Power-ups that take too damn long.
In the same vein, bad pacing blows.
Stupid characters. Wait, no. Stupid characters are fine. I despise stupid leads.
Wussy leads.
One-dimension characters/characters with no development.
Action series that refuse to kill anyone.
Straying from the manga/novel to create your own ending.
Recap episodes. Of any kind.

When the protagonist compares the current situation to an eroge.
(Because this is actually my favorite event that occurs in anime and I hate myself.)

[Slysoft]

Generic harem with idiot male leads

[Tatsujin]

Repetitive screens, boring, loose holes (usually the major ones that never get answered). Sloppy work, animation, drawings, directing. Everything that kills an anime, basically. Something like Gargantia is one hell of an amazing work. Something like Total Eclipse is one fucked up sloppy shitty work.

Those aren't "events", really.

I'm only annoyed they stopped it there, when there's still a whole manga left to animate.  That's the only thing that annoyed me about Bastard.

So, I hate when they say "this is only the beginning..." then the anime ends.

lol

[F1restar]

When a character doesn't do anything (and they actually can) when there's something terrible happening right in front of them, especially when their friends are taking the blows while they just stay there... ANYTHING is better than nothing god dammit

[capnmorgan]

Gundams aren't meant to be podiums where you can spout your views to someone across a battlefield.  Just shoot the prick and be done with it!

As for anime branching off the manga in their own ending, I can think of one instance where that worked out well.  Hellsing was a good series, but they caught up to the manga and had to do something to finish it.  They couldn't just sit and wait for new episodes for as long as the manga was still unfinished. Now that the Manga's finally done, we have ultimate Hellsing which is faithful to the story so we get two different stories.  Kind of reminds me of that Clue movie from the 80s.  But here's what REALLY happened!   

[SchoolDaysEX]

Reviving a character
When a tough female character becomes cute in action anime
Girls with absolutely no grasp on reality. (such as pet girl of sakurasou)
Teenagers saving the world
overconfident overpowered characters destroying absolutely everything in their way
insert songs, but not if it is actually being sung by a character or is an OP or ED or remix of one
early marriage

[megido-rev.M]

Random betrayals.

[Commerce]

Deus ex Machinas. Anybody who uses them should be shot and hanged by the police... Twice. 

[Inq]

Can't stand how every single anime on every single Christmas eve has to have snow with characters yelling WHAITO KHRISMAS

[sackii]

Useless Harems when we all know from the very first episode which bitch's gonna win. It's like they don't even bother with the mystery or suspense just for the sake of fan-service or fantasies of a niche market.

// Sometimes I really wish I wasn't wrong about the niche market thing :/

[1000mAh]

^ heh, those series are easy to avoid, switch to shoujo or seinen anime.

Implying you can't find harem shows in there, which is a load of bull.

[1000mAh]

^ that are rare... True enough...
But the good harem shows are out there tho few in numbers.

A thread I made some time ago I detailed exactly everything that gets on my nerves in anime, I'll quote it: -

One day a young man who wants to follow his dream sets off to explore the land as he perfects the training he received from his master about understanding certain ideas and teachings.

Along his travels he meets two women, beautiful women whom he befriends until later he realises after they say goodbye, they have stolen all his money so he wishes to seek justice, moments later he see the two women being raped by a huge tentacle monster that is, until he wakes up in the dungeon of a dirty tyrant whom the women were working for and used sleep gas to abduct him as it turned out, his teacher was the famed grand master of the last hyper dimension pursuit force.

After some random series of events that the young man explains to a friend who happens to also appear by way of using the phrase "due to certain circumstances", plot holes appear and tear through the universe requiring the formation of a new hyper dimension pursuit force that our man happens to have learned the skills necessary from his teacher to perform.

Friend dies, boy meets girl (at high school) who was a close childhood friend, evil is conquered by will power, THE END.

At somepoint during or after, there will be a filler/extra episode where everyone will go to a hot spring (separated by sex of course) where the men will try to peep through a tiny hole followed by tipping the wall over and subsequently the men will all suffer nosebleeds.

My pet peeve is when the story is continued much by way similar to that of "Deus Ex Machina"  in that for example, a new character or event is introduced without any regard for the story that had taken place so far and to explain this introduction/even, a main character explains that it was "due to a certain set of circumstances". It's that line that pisses me the most off.

Examples?
