• You've probably seen this before - kids running in slow motion with enormous smiles or huge gaping mouths, and the audio is just the sound of laughter (which doesn't quite sync too well with the video).  It's as if the kids have been taking ecstasy (or whatever the drug is called), or just plain mental (either way, explains why they're so messed up when they're older).  I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to take from these scenes, but apparently, they're there to express "happiness as children".  Seems like the writers can't think of an intuitive way to demonstrate their idea...
  
• Like above, but with excessive crying/screaming, and showing pictures of the kid who's generating all the ruckus.  Okay, it's a more realistic way to show sadness, but does everyone have to resort to these generic measures?

  What?  It's the perfect way to keep extending a story.  If you've exhausted all the possibilities of the fantasy world you created, easiest thing to do it change the world.  After all, something like the "power" above can go on forever, and you'll easily squeeze out hundreds of episodes as long as you keep adding new stuff to the mix (and in doing so, make the viewer wonder why this never occurred in the first few episodes of the show).
  Example, in Bleach (note, I've only seen the first ~67 episodes, so IDK what happens later), when the audience is tired of seeing the "release" animations, all you have to do is add in a more powerful "full release" to the mix.  Once that gets exhausted, just add in a "super release" or something like that, and you've got new animations to spark new interest and the basis for a whole new storyline...
  
• Like above, but the good guy manages to beat the bad guy, who's 1000x stronger, only because they've discovered some hidden ability.
  
• Fair battles and grace time.  Remember, always wait for the enemy to fully charge-up/prepare before commencing your attack.  Dirty tricks like the logical idea of attacking beforehand is unethical. (example, Mai-Otome - they've got guns ready to shoot the girl down, but no, they are enthralled by the transformation scene (or the bout of nudity in it))
  
• Talking about animations and attacks, everyone knows that you need a 30-90 second animation for the awesomest moves/transformations (which is repeated every time it needs to be performed).  For attacks, every awesome move must have its own name, and the person performing the move must yell their lungs out saying it before actually doing the attack.
  
• Okay, everyone knows this one but it still deserves a mention.  The main character can withstand hundreds of hits but the baddie dies after one...
  
• To cure a bout of retardedness, just slap the guy/gal out of it!
  
• When the mood is gloomy, it rains.  When it's happy, it's nice and sunny.  I really wonder who's it's actually based off though.  I mean, what if someone is gloomy, and another is ecstatic?
  
• Oooh ooh, it's halfway through this comedy/romance anime and it looks like the main girl/guy is about to kiss!  ...wait, where's the person to interrupt the moment?
  
• Character feels down about an issue.  Others worry about the character for their feeling down.  Character feels even more down because they're making other people worry which causes other people to worry even more...

I didn't really care about that but now that you mention it in a way where they look like they've taken ectasy I think I'll find asument looking at it that way

Okay I haven't watched Bleach But that I know is evident in DBZ

I'm not sure, it's been awhile since I've seen that sort of defeat.
As for DBZ though. It wasn't Goku alone, it was everyone on earth who gave power to Goku to make powerful spirit bomb.

Did you say transform scene?
Nanoha's transformation has nudity in it but her enemies don't care about it.
Otherwise, [2 year into the future edit] I don't might if that reused animation is flashy though.

Okay so I do find that kind of annoying. But chanting is a form of spell casting.

So can a video game character.
Sonic the hedgehog might get knife thrown at his face and he don't bleed or get any cuts. He just loses all his rings :p

If you find that annoying why don't you think up of a different method?
Like splash cold water or something?

I do find that it is very cliched but it doesn't annoying.
On the other hand I am happy when it rains and not as happy when it's sunny.

10/10 for accuracy, but only 1/10 for creativity.  You see, people shouldn't just die when they're killed.  They need to talk in a creaky stuttered voice to someone they're dear to, before slumping down.

They obviously do if they don't attack during the transformation...

Well, it is in the anime section, so it probably refers to anime.

---

My list (of stuff I dislike in anime).

• Completely stupid/weak/useless main character, but for some reason, all the girls he ever comes into contact with wants his dick. Also, the useless guy in question has been living under the rock for all his years, absolutely does not know how to act infront of a girl, blushes whenever a girl looks at him, and downgrades his ability of speech to that of a 5yo kid when a girl talks to him. Gets annoying when it's always like that like every show. Like 70% the harem (and some of the romance) shows are like that.
  
• That interrupted kiss thing Zinga mentioned. Really annoying. God really hates you.
  
• Inconsistent power. Normally, the enemy can take all the punishment in the world. But when the crucial time comes, he lvls down 100 levels, and gets defeated in 1 hit (or the other way around, and gets much stronger)... Happens with both good guys and bad guys.
  
• Again, similar to above, the "Power of love/friendship/whatever" allowing the main character to resist massive pain, gain extreme power and overcome impossible odds. I mean if you have the ability climb back up and assrape everyone when you're almost dead on the ground, I don't think you'd want to wait until you decide you "love someone" before doing it.
  
• Like Zinga said, good guys somehow managing to beat the bad guys even though the chance of that happening is 0.0001%. Like you do NOT sprint a 200M clear stretch with 10 people gunning you, and somehow dodge all the bullets, while at the same time killing half of them by blind shooting backwards. AND the bad guys never finishing the job for the times they do win. Like OMG, I'm going to let you walk off, so you can come back later and rape me from behind. (Happens a lot in games too).
  
• Stupid retarded governments/authority. Seriously, if the whole country wants to find/kill you, they most likely can. They probably WILL know if you own "secret" massive research facilities, weapons factories, and personal armies. And they probably will be smart enough to spot completely obvious traps my sister can spot while half asleep.
  
• Very unlikely coincidences. I don't think I need to explain this one. It's ok when it ocasionally happens, but 3 times in the same episode = they're running your of ideas.
  
• Plain unrealisticness. Bad story writing. Stuff happening when they really wouldn't happen.
