RE: Ask Anime Week #2: What's Your Pet Peeve Anime Trope?

in The Anime Realm10 months ago (edited)

The biggest trope I have issues with is "nuding the loli." This trope revolves around young girls (Example: Maria in Haganai) or the "500 year old" (main female lead of Dance in the Vampire Bund) being completely naked in a scene with no reason or hiding. This trope can be less problematic (see A Sister's All You Need or Onimai for partial subversions) but often is just tasteless.

Sort:  

One of the problematic ones I've identified too. Not just in loli in particular but to all characters (including men). Just being nude for the sake of nude and fan service unless there's an intended gag leading up to some confusion about the nude state like an ecchi or comedic genre. Even nude gags become stale after subsequent use.

Definitely agree there. I have this saying: “Context is everything”. I’d like to think I’m a bit more tolerant of standard fan service but it can be too much for all ages
