What I mean is, is there something in a story that really pisses you off e.g

The nostalgia critic - said he hates the "liar revealed" plot where a charecter lies in the beginning and gets found out later in the movie

A bugs life
Chicken run
Shark tale
Ect there's a few more
spoilers ahead

I hate it when a character comes between a couple that's been with each other for ages or known each other first e.g

Inuyasha -kagome comes between inuyasha and kikyo
My hime - Mai Tokiha comes between Shiho Munakata and Yuichi
Shuffle - Asa comes between Rin Tsuchimi and Kaede Fuyou
Gankutsuou -Fernand Mondego comes between Mercédès de Morcerf and Edmond Dantès

There's a few more but you get the idea

What about you guys?

For the love of God, please start using spoiler tags. It's hard to read your massive 'spoilers ahead' text without catching a glimpse of what you've put below.
 
I'm with you on that one Animefreak. Life ain't a fairytale and interlopers either get the girl or a smack in the mouth and sent packing.
Other things that personally annoy me are cliffhangers. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KILL THEM OR KEEP THEM. :evil:
 
Im with vox on this. please use spoilers :|

Kanon: really frigging annoying when yuichi treated EVERYONE like ...

Forced endings.

DNAngel- the ending arc had very little (if any) fore-shadowing and made little sense except for a happily ever after that neatly cut everything off.

Blue Exorcist- the ending is not from the manga but made to compelete the anime. But like the original Full Metal Alchemist series it does work out.

Escaflowne- Worst ending ever for such a romance heavy series. I hoped it was a set up for a follow on film but it either hasn't been done or I haven't found it yet.

Another pet hate is anime that deviates in a major way to fit a set ammount of episodes, such as Samurai Deeper Kyo and Rosario+Vampire. I've watched both they have their good points but if you read the manga they do seem disappointing.

I can't speak for all your examples but the 2 I do know are not couples, yes the Girl likes the guy but they are not together, except perhaps inside her head. Thats why those characters tend to go a bit crazy when the Guy picks someone else.

I can see your point, but in general it's the guy that ultimately chooses and he probably doesn't think of it as the new girl coming between them, the issue usually being that he thinks of the 1st girl as more of a sister. If anything I think I dislike the way some of those girls go crazy or become possessive, they ultimately make themselves selfdestruct.
 
I really don't like it when they have to break the 4th wall to make a story work, or where the main protagonist is unbelievable with their back ground, without which the story just can't work. Several popular big releases that I can't stand due to this are Death Note and Code Geass.

what do you mean? explain
 
In Death Note the main character is meant to be an ordinary human open to temptation but in reality is super-intelligent (number 1 in Japan for his year at school I seem to remember), an elite hacker, who's father is the chief of police and who happens to have a police computer system terminal at home, which the main character hacks without being spotted giving him full access to Japan's entire criminal records network. Without this nothing in the story can work. With Code Geass the main character is super-intelligent, son (or relation of) of previous Japan rulers, while also related to the Britanic House, openly is anti-Britannia but is allowed free reign over everything. The mysterious female pizzas eater (can't remember her name) who gives him the gift regularly lets him break the 4th wall to allow him to do the impossible. Sure it's used as a twist later on, but he can only get there by being a 'super being' in an environment where everyone else is just human.

Where did you get this idea? Surely Light is meant to be what the author wrote his character as - An exceptional person, but one with an all-consuming god complex.

He is? Surely the mask is there to make sure his anti-Britannian feelings aren't openly known - When just being "Lelouch Lamperouge" he hasn't displayed any anti-Britannian sentiment that I've seen...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, Lulu's internal monologues enable him to do the impossible?

And oddly enough, several real world charismatic revolutionaries whose desire to change the world led to a lot of bloodshed and suffering were in fact particularly intelligent people. Increased intelligence and ability does often seem to go hand in hand with lack of empathy, so I'm not sure it's that unrealistic.
 
Here's a scenario that never gets old; Hero (lets call him Kotesu) promises something to girl (let's call him Kaede) and does his damnest to do it but can't because of whatever Eastenders ******** is want to happen. Girl assumes he's the scum of the earth as a result.

Oh and "You peeped at me, even when It was I who walked into the bathroom like a twit, pervert!"

Lelouch is one of the Emperor's sons, Suzaku is the Japanese Prime Ministers sons. Lelouch was essentially used as a bargaining chip after his mother had died and placed with the Japanses Prime Minister as a guest/hostage. Britania invades, Lelouch is thought to be dead and is shielded by the Ashford family who have ties to his late mother (and possibly also want to use him/seek a reward at a later date).

Lelouch is a smart but lazy student openly, and a genius with a super power in private. C.C's gift of Geass does make things easier for him but a lot of what he does is a gamble/educated guess on how his opponent will act. If anything it's sometimes the way people do exactly what he expected that's BS rather than his power.
