Why do people hate on cliches in anime made in this day and age if basically all the cliches and tropes have already been used?

I believe it shouldn't really matter anymore. Do you guys feel the same? Or do you think it's better to forget about the stories after you are done watching them?
 
that's so funny star
i really didn't think you would say it that way and i think i will have to agree as well and we have gone through all the famous clichés
 
I think it is unavoidable that soime tropes end up being used more than another. When a cliché gets used to the point where it seems to be almost always applied in the same kind of situation it can become pretty tiring. Specially if it feels like it is something that cheapens the story.

Overused tropes changes with the years too, sometimes the trope created to overturn the clichés in one decade, become themselves clichés of the next.

People usually don't like some particular cliches more so than not liking them in general. For example, in the horror movies of a person running from someone or something chasing them there's that suspensul part where the victim "trips and completely falls into the ground".

In the television shows there was the goofy, good natured man as protagonists in the tv series, then people tired of it go to the other side and bring the asocial genius that is not evil but doesn't show attachments or feelings easy as the protagonists and we have shows like Dr. House, Sherlock Holmes, etc... When they get overused another arquetype will be used to challenge them and become its own cliché.

So almost everything that happens is a trope anyway, and the important thing is what the writers do with them and how well they work than the tropes themselves. I'm all down for a cliché scene if they play their cards rights and it all fits well with what they are doing.
 
May be they can't predict it beforehand man.
Authors can be really good at writing in hiding things sometimes. Don't underestimate them
 
I mean, it does get pretty tiring sometimes when you see the same exact tropes over and over.

Oh look ANOTHER isekai with an OP protagonist that magically has a harem for no reason

Oh look, ANOTHER harem protagonist that’s denser than black matter and is an accidental pervert.

Yeah, the isekai genre did that a little too quickly. Once you get to the third wave of any genre fad, it starts to get into what I call “freak show” territory, where you have to come up with outlandish gimmicks to make a name for yourself.

I'd argue that it worked in some cases, like Reincarnated Slime. But yeah I got tired of it. Apparently the fad right now is adapting Korean manga.

yes i agree
and it's not easy to do that and many potential anime failed because of that

that's only because we ran out of everything a long time ago
and after sometime it can form a loop. i can't think of anything that can surprise me at this point, in anime

I'm not totally understanding this but it kinda ticks me of when I watch an anime or read a story and then realize that it's the same plot from another story with just a small twist and different characters. I absolutely dislike the fact that most anime is set in highschools. Like omg there are so many other places to focus on. It's anime you can do anything you want..think outside of the box not go with the flow. Not sure if that's what you were speaking of but it's my thoughts
