      Miscommunication can work really well. A good writer can easily start out with a small case of miscommunication and build it up to write a good emotional conflict. The problem is that in a lot of anime, writers make use of this trope way too lightheartedly, resulting in poor plot lines that make you facepalm and think "All this could have been resolved if they just talked for two fucking minutes"

      @@alpha-sama Yeah I agree. Misunderstandings that don't come from shenanigans but from fundamental character flaws make for fantastic character drama. Resolution would require active attempts at trying to understand each other, not just silly interruptions and blaming for the sake of creating false tension.

    I'm surprised my most hated trope wasn't on the list: "accidental interruptions". I bloody hate it when two characters are having a moment, bonding, or taking their relationship to the next level, and then someone walks into the room, shouts from across the street, or bloody falls from the sky, interrupting them. It's the most infuriating thing ever. Dear author, I don't care you're scared that you won't have anything to write about in the future if you let things progress too quickly - just let my characters develop their relationship at their own pace!

      @@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 many authors write in a way they make characters and the story develops around those characters. Or they make a world and let the story develop by itself. Like - ok, what would happen next, how would these characters react to this situation? So the relationship have some natural pace. It is typical for character driven stories - you have the feeling that it is exactly how the character would react and that´s why the story is the way it is
      And you can have - ok - I want this and this and this to happen, and you drag your characters through the story. In this case, characters can act out of their own personalities because the author just needed to push them somewhere and if it is done badly, the audience always notice that the characters acted wierdly
      And then you have different attitude - ok, I need this supsension between those characters and they will always be "maybe" - like all those 90s series like X-files.
      I think there are many ways you can approach the writing, also depending on the purpose of your work.

A cliché reflects patterns that are no longer effective, and can even be derogatory or damaging.
      A trope is a tried and true story element that people like, and nearly every story has one or several. A cliche just means something has been used too much

      I think that a perfect example of making a tragic backstory would be the story of the city director in Ergo Proxy, it is not even a backstory we see the climax of the decline of his life pass at the beginning, we just don't realize that said event is related to him until the end of the anime and that hits hard when you realize that his motivations make very specific sense.

    Vinland Saga alone is enough to demonstrate how awesome time skips are, also my favorite trope as well, easily. Great way to refresh a cast/setting and give us something that's not HS. H/V teamup is also a great way to refresh the cast/plot and the tournament arc is just refreshing in general.

    • @zxcvb3772
      @zxcvb3772 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would have to disagree. Timeskip is one of my favorite tropes and Vinland Saga's not the best example of it. I do agree that it's a good way to refresh the setting like you put it, but that is really it for Vinland Saga. Like Garnt said, my favorite part is seeing how much the characters grew, their new attacks and the mystery that comes with it. Vinland Saga's time skip is just a transition to get to the next narrative point in Thorfinn's life.
      Take Naruto for example, before the time skip, he's a little kid following instruction, and after the time skip, he's some kids senior in the village. That change in dynamics is pretty cool to see with the main characters, it's like the Naruto and Konohamaru dynamic. Later down the line, you'll see Konohamaru grown and act as the next generation's 'senpai' and inspiration, and I think that is what I like about time skip the most.

    Hey Garnt,
    Philosophy student here. The term "Deconstruction" comes originally from the writings of the French philosopher Jacque Derrida, who defined it in a purposely ambiguous way, because it essentially has to do with the inherently unstable meaning of language, so not knowing what deconstruction specifically means or whether something is or is not a deconstruction is part of the point. However, my own understanding after reading a whole lot of Derrida is that deconstruction is essentially the ability of a text to be taken apart into its different elements and re-construct its meaning in a way different than the original speaker or author intended the text to be read. A lot of Derrida's works are unconventional readings of texts in the western cannon, which go against their conventional meaning and find very different and new interpretations of them.
    In light of that, I would say that to use the term "genre deconstruction" appropriately, the work would have to be one which takes the tropes of the original genre and makes a new meaning out of them - for example, Gon is a quintessential Shonen protagonist, but he's so happy-go-lucky all the time in a world that's harsh and brutal because he's a bit of an amoral sociopath. It's not just subverting a trope - it's taking the trope as it is, but actually digging into it's possible meanings, conclusions, and logical extremes

    • @KokaKolaMusic
      @KokaKolaMusic 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      When used to talk about a show as a whole, it's generally seen as a love letter but also a roast of the genre tropes. Eva being a teen mecha show, but instead of focusing on the mecha it's centered in the absurdity and psychological damage done to the kids. Madoka being......well everything in madoka being a call out of magical girl shows.
      But yeah, technically anything can be a deconstruction, as long as there's a level of self-awareness about it. Kill la kill is intentionally absurd. Generic Isekai of the week is generally not self-aware enough to realize what it's doing.

    As a female anime watcher, all of the fanservicey type tropes go in F-tier for me. I definitely don't mind hot characters of either gender, but when it's constant panty shots or jiggle physics, it gets really annoying and at times disgusting and unnecessary. Even when it's fanservice of male characters, it just gets so stale so quicky and detracts from the story.

    Watching Jujutsu Kaisen made me want more filler episodes in anime. Every "emotional" moment on Shibuya had a flashback about something that easily could have been a filler episode on the show (the closer we got were the Jujutsu shorts on the first season and it was THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE SEASON). Shaman King had a lot of filler (the old one) and it was great because the characters were great and expanden a lot about them.
    I just think that Naruto or Bleach style filler is so horrid, but if they add like 3-5 filler episodes between arcs, it could have been WAAAY better in some anime.

    • @life-destiny1196
      @life-destiny1196 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You know what show really proved that filler isn't always bad? Literally the Pokemon anime. I'm not caught up with the new series, but as an adaptation of a game about encountering hundreds of weird fantastical creatures and befriending/battling them, the well for filler is incredibly deep--here's a Pokemon we haven't shown off before, or not for a long time, and so every filler episode is a chance to show off someone's favorite Pokemon that otherwise there would have been no excuse to include. If Ash simply rushed from point A to point B doing only the stuff immediately relevant to the Pokemon League tournament, there just wouldn't be time to explore all of that--and besides, Pokemon is an RPG, of course there's gotta be some level grinding, right?
      I don't think anyone's out here calling it the best anime ever, but I think it gets a bad rap in part because of the filler, but also it has a better excuse to have filler than most shows do.

    My favorite Demon Slayer specific trope is the 'my sickly mom/das'. Let's consider how many characters this applies to. Tanjiro, Rengoku, Muichiro, Akaza, Daki/Gyutaro, Yoriichi, literally the entire Ubuyashiki clan, and probably some other minor characters I forgot. Hell, Akaza even gets TWO sickly loved ones, lucky guy. You also have the characters themselves that were sickly, like Muzan, Rui, Tamayo, and Yushiro. Seriously, like over half of the tragic backstories involve a sick parent, and most of the rest it's the character themselves that are sick. It's literally a more common backstory than the 'demon massacre orphan' variety, though sometimes the two are combined.
    I just wanted to add this, since I found it hilarious.

    The thing about absent parents is that their presence could often completely "solve" situations. Since you mentioned SAO imagine the parents being around when Asuna isn't truly released from the game by the creep developer/whatever and basically kidnapped. Kirito wants to do something about it but can't, imagine what having Asunas parents around would have done to that situation?
    This continues for tons of situations in a wide variety of manga/anime. Yeah sure the situations are probably stupid plothole zone anyhow, but always having absent parents ontop of it just makes it worse as a trope.

    4:00 I think this has to do with the attack being magic-related or requiring some sort of encantation for it to charge up and work.
    It doesn't *have* to be this way, but if your brain associates it with the concept of shouting out the name being a requirement for the attack to work (or be more effective), then it would make sense, there's now a reason to do it, and as such it's not cringe anymore.
    For example, in Harry Potter movies, live action, they scream attack names, it's cool as shit, cuz there's some sort of logical reason behind it, that being the name/encantation strengthens the spell.
    Now this trope is very present in anime, *because* these kinds of magical attacks are very present in anime.
    However, this trope has become a thing even in moments where a person is doing a normal punch attack for example, I assume this is because the trope became so prevalent in anime that anime watchers became used to it and they can accept it on any attack at this point as long as its in anime form. It could even be used in a comedy manner, such as Anya's dodge ball attack in spy family.
