Good endings even when it's kind of dumb

Cicdas aren't really a cliche though, if you're outside in a temperate climate it's usually loud as fuck with insects, especially at night.
I guess putting emphasis on them is a cliche.
>>141512824

That's true. First time I watched EVA I thought that they were actually outside and not in the tv. Turned out to be both. That was very confusing.

Everyone or almost everyone falling upside down when one character does something stupid.

MADA MADA.

I love that cliche.

>>141514425
>delinquent is actually the nicest person ever, they're just misunderstood because of rough look/personality
The ones I think of of the top of my hat are Toradora and that shitty OVA with the chunni who said the MC was a king.
Both did this delinquent is nice thing terribly.
What anime did it right?
Ippo maybe?
>there's no opening to indicate shit is going down this episode
As for actual in-story cliches

I haven't watched Lupin in forever I don't remember if the episode takes place in Japan or not.
There, banknotes, are you happy?

Self-sacrifice, but only when done right. far too many times is treated lightly, which completely ruins the purpose
also
>Character keeps fighting even after receiving several serious wounds that actually reduce his capacities
This one. Man when I heard the OP start I knew it was gonna be cool.
Don't watch if you intend to watch Jojo any time soon.

Now that's some really shitty gif you have there.

Always gets my blood pumping

Texhnolyze did this wonderfully.

Name 12 shows where this happens.
>>141526856
half of those are just azumanga characters

Didn't it happen on Samurai Champloo?
I think for Michiko Hachin too
Early Manglobe stuff, I guess
>>141527742
>cicadas got into the basement
