Top 10 WORST Anime Art Tropes (And I Draw Them All) || SPEEDPAINT + COMMENTARY

Protect this kid at all cost

As someone who consumes a LOT and I mean A LOT of BL, Yaoi or just generally MxM content because I myself am gay, I can say that big hands can be attractive.
Now, difference inbetween "big hands" and "yaoi hands"...
Yaoi hands look fucking ridiculous and are by no means attractive, but a large imposing character with large hands who could grab someone (or me) by extension- To ME is attractive. Not everyone feels that way and that's okay!
But the crazy yaoi hands you're showing off? Nah, I got NO idea whose the target audience of that bologna.

Personally, I have a grudge against the “boring protagonist”
These are common, especially in isekai, where the main character is usually a 15 year old dude, with short and dark hair, dark eyes and a skinny body. There’s rarely any variety other than that.

Sometimes you’ll get a guy with a stronger build or color eyes, but I’ve rarely ever seen anything else. This even applies to reincarnated protagonists, who have the same short hair, but occasionally different colors.

The worst of all, is their goddamn personality. There’s never any uniqueness to their character. Usually, they’re just morally good, ignorant, dense and dumb to the point where the plot just shapes around them to work.

Of course, there are exceptions, but I can guarantee you’ll find at least one of these traits on the protagonist, if not all of them.

You know what I actually hate about anime. THERE'S SO MUCH FREAKING SEXUALIZATION, like bro. It's to the point of detracting from the story. I don't like fanservice too. Lolis are the single worst and most creepy trope of all, they are literally drawn in the most sexual positions possible and no higher up bats an eye. Touhou has a few loli characters, cough the scarlet sisters cough Suwako *cough*. It's fine though since they aren't sexualized, and they actually are cool characters that can kick ass, but you wouldn't want to see the shit that these characters are drawn in during fanworks.

Underage characters looking like/being paired up with older teens or adults (Shugo Chara is a prime example of this. THESE ARE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS???)

Pretty sure with monogatari they dont justify Araragi being a lolicon. It just does it

Edgeworth in the thumbnail 😭

I like that your example for yaoi hands in the thumbnail isn’t even actual yaoi, it’s Miles Edgeworth. I mean, Ace Attorney might as well be honorary yaoi.

Overall, plenty of women find larger hands to be attractive, up to a certain extent. When they look too disproportionate, it doesn't look good.
Also, when boobs are too big, it also doesn't look sexy, just disproportionate. Also, I agree that human ears on cat girls are a mistake, same as the cheek mouth. Real fangs are cute.

PLEASE DO MORE

Atsushi's face made me start wheezing everytime it did that so the serious moments where he's breaking down and fucking dying im just giggling

I know Duchess Celestia there are case's of small body and Big Boob's in the Philippines, and they being cast as a joke and maybe being threatened by rude people, also it's being in news and documentary like KMJS short of Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho, we're there's a topic of body shaming of girl that has almost kid height and a huge melons even a actress that has cases.

i always found the fisheye view in bsd silly, granted its ruined serious scenes, but its always been silly

As a guy that likes guys, big massive hands are supposed to show off a masculine and strong vibe, reinforcing that guy is the top. Hands are symbols of domination, power, strenght, so it`s used to better diferenciate between bottoms and tops in anime (along with things like muscles, height, pp size, etc)

My personal opinion? It is stupid and horrible, but I see where it comes from

I love Bungo Stray Dogs, I love it to death, but dear god... they did poor Atsushi so dirty

Lite yahami should not be there

Went through reasoning the cat ears and ears combo thing, Didint pass. As character designer rather be the only one who knows theres ears behind the hair rather than showing it with the cat ears on top!


I always thought maybe they just do the chin mouth thing because they hate animating the jaw movement. Which jaw movement kinda seems way much easier though than that. Dont know how mouth pespective went so distorted through the time. But im sure we can blame a few specific anime studios for this.😂

I don't hate most of these but I get why someone would, the one I that I truly agreed with was the age thing, I like my MILFs with a some wrinkles.

Personally, I think making kids act like adults just because some adults act like kids is pretty dumb. Some people find subversion of societal norms amusing, but when done wrong it just becomes disgusting/weird to look at.

Mmmmm😑😑😑

As a guy totally into boobs, Im into the unrealistic depitions of them. I also don't mind the flesh fang, i think its supposed to be a tooth they didnt bother coloring. I think it looks cute but the lack of coloring it is lazy.

I hate the boring brown hair protagonist so much. Im not so much bothered by their boring looks but the fact that they have no personality. Kaiba from Yugioh despite looking quite generic actually is a fun character being an antgonist and a heel. Kaiba is such a fun character to hate I dont think he belongs on this list, but he does blend in with the crowd of lazy boring designs.

I hate hate HATEEE the trope of a female teacher wearing really exposing clothing and acting really inappropriately with her students!!! And the way that it’s never questioned!! For example, My Hero Academia, Midnight is wearing a skin tight body suit, with cuffs AND A WHIP??? And she acts so so weird with 1A! Like the fight of her against mineta and sero!!! And on that topic, MINETAAAA!! I hate when there’s a perverted character and their actions are never questioned.. like Mineta is a fucking creep and the teachers definitely know, BUT HE GETS ZERO PUNISHMENT!!??? How he hasn’t been expelled is beyond me. And in general I hate when female characters have the most dog shit writing ever!! This is mostly in Shonen if I’m being honest, not all obviously but all the damn time the female characters are so boring with no personality and just have big tits 😭
These are less so about art more characters but yeah I just needed to share that lol

Busty people exist, even without surgery. Seems like she's sourgraping because she lacks an hourglass figure

random straight guy here:
i hate the giant boobs trope...
either there are meaningless and just there to bounce around for the audience, or they are "plot points" to create cringe situations..

anyway my most hated trope is the
"almost, but still not pantie shots."
don't get my wrong, i don't want pantie shots in all my anime, not at all. and i also don't mind if the show is full of them (if im in the mood for this kind of genre)
but what i can't stand are the "almost/so close" shows. (not one time shots/jokes, but if they do them over and over)
people jumping around, doing handstands, flying around while all clothes go crazy, but somehow the skirt always defies physic to always stay in that position you can't see anything. or the open legged girls sitting but always has that one leg up, so her ankle can cover up the spot.
not to mention the "missing underwear" camera angles. always below sideways where just the thighs cover everything up, but in reality there would be underwear anyway.

just put on normal full pants, skorts, or don't go for these camera angles at all.
this constant baiting for "maybe it will happen" is just annoying.

Очень душно, но это твоем мнение :/

The one trope that often annoys me is impossibly dense hair, like a (usually female) character will have enough hair to add tresses and ponytails to a regular already dense head of hair. Dunno, could be I'm just jealous.
I don't really mind the nose stuff or the flesh fang. I think they aren't to be taken litterally and I sure don't, just a representation thing to draw attention to arousal, sleepiness or mischief.
Impossible bodies do annoy me too but that's in all media basically.

The reason I like the big hands is because..... Its just grown on me

atsushi looks less terrifying than when akutagawa got the fish-eye treatment

okay take this with a grain of salt because I dont watch a lot of anime but like...some of those 'ugly' characters feel off and i cant tell if its cuz they break from the same face syndrome or if its smth else but either way smth feels off. then again i guess thats what they're tryna do so can I judge that???

SDS made me hate the. "eye covered by hair still shows" as well as the extremely small chins. Also God breasts arent fucking...bouncy balls?? Bro i don't,I don't know

Does anyone know what the first trope was?

I personally absolutely hate that in anime most female characters have massive boobs even as a kid and have really revealing clothing 😢 like ik most anime girls are for fan service and not even written good but sexualizing all your female characters😭

Bro, I fkn HATE the big boob trope. Characters like Tomoe from Madoka Magica have big boobs, but it's still humanly possible, and she actually has a personality other than her melons. She's actually my favorite, considering her weapon and fighting style lmao

See I used to be bad with the age looking the same for all characters and like only difference being height or how they acted I finally have figured out how to add wrinkles and other things that happen when you age to my very cartoony + anime influenced style and now people can actually tell if the person is a teen, middle age, or elderly

I immediately disliked when you said you were a lesbian
Please get mental help immediately

the first trope reminds me of that character from the disastrous life of saiki k who is described as boring lol

I hate when theres BIG MASIVE eyes on such a small face character

the bungo stray dogs fisheye lens is so normal to me now but its still so funny

Giant hands are a yaoi thing...does that mean Sonic the Hedgehog is actually a yaoi series?

I'd argue that besides the "dramatic boob💀" scenes in HOTD their body proportion is pretty realistic.

Oh. I never knew that was a snot bubble until this video. 🤧

why'd you think that you're the target audience for melon boobs if lesbians are never considered in making media😔you as a woman are looking at other women from a perspective similar to theirs, but men who generally make female characters with melon boobs for their target audience who is also men are looking at women as objects existing to satisfy their fetishes. i as a lesbian myself think that lesbians are not prone to fetishize women to the extent hetero men do, and that's why this kind of fanservice feels wrong. while you were drawing Celestia to illustrate melon boobs trope i literally felt my back breaking in half, and the thought that somebody finds this attractive terrifies me!

but anyway, this was a fun video to watch, and i hope you'd continue the series. thank you for the video!
