Anime fans have ranked what they consider to be the most hackneyed and cliched situations ever to plague virtually every anime ever made…
1. The wishy-washy protagonist gets all the girls
2. A new power awakens in a desperate pinch!
3. After starting out as an enemy, after many tribulations they become an ally!
4. A hitherto invincible new enemy character somehow loses to the protagonist…
5. Despite being excessively popular, for some reason the protagonist is completely insensitive
6. The useless drop-out protagonist becomes the heroic saviour of the world
7. The heroine descends from on high
8. As soon as a girl is accidentally pushed over, someone will burst in and leap to conclusions
9. The girls and boys whose beauty is revealed only when they take off their glasses…
10. The rival who is both sporty and clever
A ranking which could probably be summed up as “harem anime”…
we require more vespene gas!
ok though seriously, yes, f♥♥k, all of that are getting annoying
anything and everything that trolls anything from 1-10 gets an instant legendary status on my books, that says something, and theres like only ONE fucking anime made in the last fifteen years that’s on my legendary status (modoka’s just an evangelion)
Minasan, welcome to the “I-Have-No-Ideas-But-With-A-Clichè-I-Can-Produce-A-40-Tankobon-Story-That-Everybody-Will-Find-Very-Innovative” way of thinking.

XX> Any female character, related even remotely to the main character in any way, who shows competency is fighting will:
1) Fall for the hero like a ton of bricks when he delivers HER ONE AND ONLY DEFEAT IN HER LIFE.
2) will harbor a secret crush on the protagonist, often shown as extreme Tsuntsun in front of people, and obscene deredere if they’re alone.
3) will somehow lose all her fighting capacity and become a passive clinger to the hero who needs to resolve her mini-plot instead.
4) will be kidnapped and brainwashed into being a loyal henchmen of the villain and serve as the foil for the hero/main love interest.
5) Collery of #4, when she manages to finally break the mind control she will selflessly sacrifice herself to protect the hero from the Bigbad’s ultimate “you can not survive this, which the hero always does anyway” attack. Then as she lay dying clutched in his arms, she will tearfully express her love for him by agonizingly recount her backstory that relates to her and the hero. She’ll then heartbreakingly die, either by trying to reach up and stroke his cheek, or just a second after he gives her her first kiss.
XD looking at To Aru Majutsu no Index does have lots of these cliches:
#1 yes he’s pretty much wishy-washy in relationship but he always determined to protect and fight.
#2 so far his power haven’t changed yet (actually only one of the enemy realized he has secondary support abilities but it’s not new).
#3 is Accelerator.
#4 Accelerator VS Touma.
#5 no explanation needed.
#6 he’s nearly drop out, but not yet XD.
#7 yeah and she landed on his porch too XD.
#8 pretty much in a lot of scene lol.
#9 nggg~ this one doesnt exist in Index.
#10 is Misaka can be counted as his Rival?
But U have too admit this series is interesting. interesting
I like Railgun more, Touma is sooo annoying. Ruined the show for me.
