I hate the "Oops, I accidentally saw you naked" scenes. It's just so redundant. There has to be a better way to build awkwardness then to have one character see another character in the nude. ;

-Constant explanations that take 4 mins to read but somehow was delivered in a split second while intercepting an attack. E.g:

Yes, YES!

Another one: You know how someone gets into a situation where it appears they can't be saved in any possible way, only to have some Other guy fly in from nowhere and save them at the last second?
Its ridiculous how they use that same scenario like, twice or more in one episode! A good example of this is the entire Bleach series.

I haven't looked at alot of anime/manga, but the other thing i don't like is cliffhangers, like Bamboo said. It really bugs me how someone can blast their opponent 100 feet and through a brick wall with their attack, but can barely pull their self up when hanging from a ledge.

I highly dislike it when characters who have the potential of playing a larger role than they already do in the story are shelved and basically forgotten. Eyeshield 21, Naruto, Bleach, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and several other Shonen-style series are guilty of this crime.

I also dislike an excess of fighting, as it prolongs the story and there's very little retained after one is finished reading the chapter. Bleach is the largest offender of this as far as I'm concerned.

Yet at the same time, it's incredibly annoying to see that an entire fight is skipped altogether or is so short-lived that it turns out to be a waste of a chapter. Bleach is, again, a primary offender here. Funny how that works.

Those are my main complaints. I'll make some more later on~

I hate it when characters that have potentially higher rolls get those higher rolls and then are marketed out like a bunch of sissy bi***s Dx.

I smell Sasuke hatred!

*secretly high-fives*

To tack on to my list of complaints stated earlier, I dislike constant jumping of power by main characters in order to just push competition. "Power leveling", as I call it, starts to become a mainstay and it turns into a competition between characters than anything that can build into a better storyline. Examples would be zanpakutou releases in Bleach, the levels of Super Saiyan in DBZ, various jutsu and forms in Naruto, and so on and so forth.

I hate over-the-top combats. I know this is a staple of many series, but, the constant, leaping-through-the-air-and-shooting-energy-balls-that-can-destroy-the-word-three-times-over-but-only-scratch-and-mildly-bruise-the-antagonist-and-vice-versa type of fights bore me.

I also hate "diversionary" of "fluff" manga - when the story takes a break from it's storyline and diverts into some such nonsense. I usually purchase manga books from stores (though only rarely), and it saddens me to waste 15-to-20 dollars for a book that doesn't advance the story at all.

Edit: Also, male villains that look like whiny emos, or girls. Or both. A male villain should be an eminently threatening figure - covering him in belts 'n zippers and plastering that sunuvagun in eyeshadow - unless this villain is some sort of dangerous drag queen or transexual - doesn't accomplish this at all.

1. Fan service (I really do not want to see that character's butt crack or any thing like that. I do not want to see boobs falling everywhere. ugh. This is what bothers me about Fairy Tail.)
2. Too much drama-- I don't want a soap opera. (Sadly most shoujos end up like this)
3. When character's lack decent noses, and end up looking slightly like Michael Jackson.
4. When characters suddenly become super powerful all of a sudden. The whole "I must protect my friends!!" thing has really been overplayed. It doesn't work anymore.
5. When the mangaka just stops the story suddenly. (ie, Bisco Hatori's "Millenium Snow.") They should finish the project before they try something else.

I hate it when every time a character meets someone new they are like them and therefore they have to tell them their life story to make them realize something. Naruto is like that in places, he is always telling his life story to other people, and it was made worse in the anime where in every filler he tells his life story to someone.

Also the flipped mangas. Gaahh I HATE them. I was so happy when they started printing Inuyasha unflipped.

Bad art angers me too

I dislike ongoing blib-blabbering (Naruto, Gah annoys the hell out of me.).


I dislike 15 pages of the same ongoing fight....When will it end?????


I also dislike characters that go emo and angsty that just need to get over themselves.

Mangakas that keep on a character that "supposedly" is important to the plot but really just hinders it in the end also annoy me. Though that's not really about manga.

Eh.

Bad art also gets me too.

The first one that comes to mind is #3. I'm attracted to "good artwork".

Another would be characters. If I can't latch onto a particular character quickly enough (as I'm obsessive and need to have a character I can fan over), I'll soon lose interest.

Those are the INSTANT ones. I can even tolerate a mediocre storyline if it has good characters.

bad storyline, for me the storyline is what matters most i could read a manga that hasn't got a really good artwork because the story is interesting ex: FMA, i didn't like the artwork at the beggining, now she's draws better but it's not a style i like much.

shallow characters or stereotypes

predictable plotlines or repetitive ones ex:bleach, most romance manga

fanservice

unoriginals fights in a manga that centers around fights, ifyou want good fights i recomend togashi sensei's works (yuyu hakuho, hunterxhunter)

characters that cant get over themselves, are annoying oney, emo and get powers out of nowhere because they are main characters cough sasukecough ( well that's more personal but i find it hard to read naruto lately cause of that guy, it wasn't that interesting to begin with)

there're more you have already commented that's why it's hard to find a manga to stick to, I recomend d.gray-man, it's got a slow beggining but after that it's amazing and keeps getting better^^
