Weird Anime Cliches

Anime is something that alot of people love and it's something that's getting alot of media attention (mostly due to bad live action movies ) but it's also something that has a lot of cliches and since there not going away any time soon I thought let's bring them up and shine a big shiny light on them.

The Main Character Always Sits On The Same Side Of The Class

Yeah I have no idea why this is a thing but for some reason main characters like to sit next to a window in the class room I wish I could say that this adds something to their characters but the fact is 9 times out of 10 all it does is tell us that their dreamers and that's it.

Main Characters Will Mostly Have Colored Hair 

Unlike the last one I have an idea as to why this is a cliche but it's still strange to think that only main characters have colored hair and it's done to make them stand out from the rest of the characters so I do get why they do it but even still one cannot deney it's still a weird cliche.

American Characters Find Themselves In Japan

The last time I saw this was in Batman Ninja but for some reason whenever Japan creates something be it a film or TV series featuring a well known American character that character and maybe one or two others find themselves in Japan and I cannot understand why they do it to me that makes no sense at all.

Gravity Defying Boobs

This is something that mostly appears in any ecchi series but for some reason all of the girls seem to have gravity defying boobs I mean look at most of the female characters in HighSchool Of The Dead for instance there is no way all of the girls aren't in extreme back pain every single freaking day that's not the only show tho that uses this cliche but is it perhaps one of the most well known.

The Beach Episode

I wasn't going to mention this cliche since it's so well known but the more I thought about the more I thought "yeah let's include it" and again this is mostly found in ecchi shows but for some reason they like to have an episode where the main characters go to the beach and the only reason for this that I can think of is so they can have alot of fan service and not have it effect the main story the only problem is it's an obvious excuse for a filler episode.

Filler , Filler And More Filler

Now I assume that it's common knowledge as to why we have filler episodes of popular (it's so they don't catch up with the manga fyi) but even so alot of them are really bizarre and their always a mixed bag in terms of quality.

Errors In Animation

Honestly can we all just agree that animation errors are now an anime cliche because they happen all the time and all of the time they are funny as heck to see the most weird one tho that I can think of is in episode of Fairy Tail 2014 where there's this pretty good scene happening but for some reason the camera holds on Erza with her finger on her lips.

Now I know there are alot more cliches but if I talked about every single of them I wouldn't ever get to publish this post and if you like filler episodes then good for you and the same goes if you like beach episodes so then anime fans we'll talk again soon.

The 100 Season 5 "Eden" Review

Fans of The 100 rejoice for season 5 is here and for the first time ever i'm posting a review on it and i'm going to stick with the schedule i'm doing for The Walking Dead reviews so that's premier , mid-season finale , mid-season premier and season finale then now we've got that out of the way here is my review of the season 5 premier Eden.

The basic set up of this episode is it's six years since the season 4 finale earth is all but a wasteland and there are new threats to deal with. That's honestly the best way I could describe this episode since most of it is just catching up with the characters but I will say that the episode is pretty interesting.

Starring in the episode are Eliza Taylor , Marie Avgeropoulos , Bob Morley , Lindsey Morgan and Lola Flanery. I have to to say that this episode really is a tour da force for Eliza who really does a fantastic job she and Lola have great chemistry together and I cannot wait to see what else they got up to in the coming weeks and months.

There is a time skip as I mentioned before but a huge chunk on this episode episode actually takes place several weeks after the season 4 finale and for a large portion of the episode we just follow Clarke and that to me was when the episode was the most interesting because we got to see this headstrong character at her lowest moment and see how she would cope with that situation.

For this series there's shockingly not that much action with like I said a large portion of the episode spent catching up with the characters but when there is an action sequence for me it was very raw and grounded in reality but tho the action sequence didn't really last long in fact it was only a few minuets which when you take into account that the episode is forty five minuets long really doesn't take up that much time.

I have no idea who does the CGI for this show but bra and vo because the opening shot is freaking fantastic to look at it's not movie quality by any means but it's better then most of the CGI you'd see on television these days and for me that's better then nothing at all.

Overall this was a decent return for the series and it kinda serves as soft reboot for the show as well which honestly i'm ok with but I can see die hard fans getting angry with that but for me this episode gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
