Fucking anime and the mistreating of bromance.I would give up any waifu to have a friend like pic related.
>>
Guys all the cliches you stated were avoided in Haagure Yuusha no Estetica, why doesn't /a/ sing its praises?
>>
Story so far:
>MC has a hidden power but cant use it because its harmful
>his parent's are overseas and his dad is op as fuck
>tsundere childhood friend became his roommate

anything i forgot?
we need the setting for now, is it going to be a magic school?
>>
>European girls love japs because their "nice" to them.
>>
>MC is short
>tries to make up for it by growing a pointy hair thing
>>
>>140268177
>she's blonde

I love this one the most because it implies any girl on the planet would willingly choose 3 inch Jap penis.
>>
>>140268536
>cringey sounding "cool" english words as Titles
>>
>>140268536

A magic academy that trains it's students to be a part of japan's imperial army which is currently the strongest military force in the world, under the current school curriculum the MC is currently graded at the lowest level.

We need to go all the way with this.

Just pick anything from this show.

>>140268309
The dad is not only the best character but also the most liked by viewers because he's not an edgy fuck and is just good old dad.

He dies
>>
>>140268638
But Mc is not a beta
>>
>>140268626
So Mahouka?
>>
>>140268626
>villain is a terrorist that has a tragic backstory that has connections on the imperial army

ok what's next?
>>
>>140268657
His lack of personality will make up for that.
>>
>>140268638
>MC is thoroughbred Jap
>His bro that gets no women is Caucasian and has brown hair
>His bro also has a squarer face

How have I never noticed this before
>>
>>140268605
>Excel Vanguards no Archangel
>>
Did we have the villain yet that goes on to be best buddy after being defeated?
>>
>>140268692

The protagonist and villian are polar opposites right down to their colour schemes.
>>
>>140268631
>Best bro that's super edgy that needs no friends and very popular with girl's except MC's haram girls.
>>
>>140268744
how about villain was MC's older brother
>>
>>140268726
Don't forget

>MC's bro is not as smart as MC and is more than likely to get cucked by MC
>The girl will get rejected by MC
>>
>He's in a super amazing high-school for some advanced bullshit even though he has bad grades.

We all assumed he was in highschoolalready.
>>
>>140268761

His twin older brother that through circumstances was separated from his family and he grew to be obsessed with the MC and the life he never had.
>>
>>140268792
>twin older brother was actually a twin older sister
>>
>>140268536
Beach Episode
>>
>>140268761
Childhood best friend is more believable. Throw in the tsundere in the middle to make a great kid trio. And they all make a promise as kids.
>>
>>140268536
He's too pure and will shut down any sexual advances from girls.
>>
>>140268787

We can't have a cliche thread without the biggest and most used cliche of them all.
>>
>>140268751
>Best bro is nearly together with one girl till she stumble accross MC and drops Bro
>She goes after MC
>She get's rejected and still lusts after him
>>
>>140268834
Better yet:
hotsprings
>>
>>140268853
but MC forgots it for some reason
>>
>>140268834
>>140268876
I can beat you both
hotspring AND beach episode
>>
>>140268876
good idea
also
girls got drunk and tries to rape MC
i'm sure you've seen this somewhere
>>
If we're still going by shounenshit cliches then we definitely need the stoic badass mentor - think of Piccolo or Auron as examples.
>>
>>140268876

>Hotsprings
>MC enters the wrong spring/comes in at the wrong time
>There's something which seems like romantic development but it's drowned in slapstick humour and everything reverts and it's never brought up again

What else is there.
>>
>>140268876
Better yet:
Public Bathhouse
>>
>>140268867
I hope anime dies so we can stop having the highschool setting already.

>MC has to save one of the girls from some kind of capture/danger.
>>
>>140268077

>The student council are their rivals, but after beating them they become friends.
>>
>>140268077
MC is a normal high school boy you could find anywhere
>>
>>140268605
The school is simply called THE ACADEMY. They are fighting an unknown life forms unknown as UNKNOWNS. People who fight them are called WARFIGHTERS.

The real cliche is

Isn't precure just females though?

They don't use shields or decent armor because shields are not cool. Hence, they die young.

This is shonen. Beta MCs are often perverts.

Not just the MC

Fucking Railgun. Misaka is one of the few strongest in the entire city, yet all we see her do is bar-hop around various coffee shops and malls with her friends.

No wait, I actually like that one.

The villain is the only one who was good to his subordinates, and that's why they follow him.

;_;
>>
>>140284085
Do you even know what are you talking about?

Shonen is a demographic
Light novel is a medium, the same as anime and manga
