Question/Quote of The Day

[gimme_yuri_plz]

It doesn't really look that huge, but it's too tall to eat normally, and any time you're doing something 'big' as a novelty it tends to spiral out of control in terms of the extra stuff.

Yes, it's impossible to eat with your hands. You have to use a fork and knife 😅

QoTD 68: What's your absolute favourite trope? (optionally include examples)
QoTD 68.5: What's your least favourite trope?
My favourite trope is when a plan comes together nicely as a result of hard work and least favourite has to be Deus ex machinas and especially those which feel like asspulls.
A trope can be a narrative device, character type, plot point, setting, situation or really anything.
This isn't limited to just manga or anime. I'll allow anything like Deres, characters screaming or laughing, a second phase in a bossfight, ridiculous or iconic hairstyles, Engrish, breakdowns, good guy messing up something out of carelessness creating a disaster and whatever anti-heros are supposed to be.

tsunderes and love triangles. I love angst

QoTD 68.5: What's your least favourite trope?

This probably isn't a trope but i hate it when someone makes their OC for a show stupidly overpowered for no reason... I also dislike harems since they're the cowards way out...

Recently, I'm so into the role reversal of villainess thingamajigs. Like, otome isekai, but for the villainess.

QoTD 68.5: What's your least favourite trope?

Heh... the villainess thingamajigs itself. Like, gurl, you said you don't wanna go that same path again or wanna divorce the bad and neglectful fiancé/husband or going independent from oppressor of a family/adopted family... only to get back to those same people and they somehow 180° olympic acrobat their shits to be one of the most angelic shites ever existed!

Miscommunication really is a bane to otome isekai genre... or overused device.

FDQ7: This one pound burger from a local golf course bar/restaurant. The inside of the place looks like it's from the 1970s, because it is, but dang man. The black bean soup is killer good too. I might have to go there on Monday now.

68: Hmm...maybe... Damsel in distress to action hero? Favorites are hard.
68.5: I can't choose between Flanderization or the "Cannot talk to men/women" thing. I don't know why, but both drive me mad. Flanderization is where one character flaw that ends up defining the character as a whole.
I've known one guy with the "Can't talk to women" thing, and he had other issues that went along with it.

QoTD 68: What's your absolute favourite trope? (optionally include examples)

My favorite trope is when characters don't seem like they'll have a romantic relationship at all. I mean, they don't seem to match at all, and there's absolutely no hint that they'll get together in the future. Then, slowly, their relationship starts to evolve until one of them realizes they are in love with the other (taking you by surprise)
Example: Ayane Yano and Pin - Kimi ni Todoke

QoTD 68.5: What's your least favourite trope?

FMC ignores MMC's red flags and insists on having a relationship with him, saying, "I can fix him," while rejecting green flag characters who care about her and don't exhibit disturbing behavior
Example: Main couple of Ao Haru Ride

i'd probably have to second your own favorite:

My favourite trope is when a plan comes together nicely as a result of hard work

i love it when there's a situation so hopeless/dire that you think "how the fuck is MC going to get out of this one?" but then he does through pure genius and you go, "damn, can't believe i ever doubted him in the first place."

QoTD 68.5: What's your least favourite trope?

when there's an obvious fakeout death. for instance, a character is about to get shot, but then the scene cuts off— and later, it cuts back to the scene only to reveal that the shot missed, or the shot we heard was from another person's gun. it's just a very cheap way of trying to add suspense.

My Favorite Trope is the classic, ultra-magnum, long-lasting MacGuffin! What? "By Golly sir, you're speaking a different language, I do not know what this MacGuffin might be!" A MacGuffin; in case there isn't someone who knows what that is the Ring of Power: The Plot centralizes around that certain thing, that thing's existence, destruction, change, advancement, and degradation and it's effect upon others is a Trope I find fascinating. Sure, some might say it's overplayed, but I find the variety of things you can do to a MacGuffin are interesting.
A Manga Example would be the One Piece, easy enough, or for JojoLands Fans, the Lava Rocks.

My Least favorite trope was going to be something else but.. I kinda went down a road which may've ticked off some people; so I'll water the concept down; I hate character reversals, moreover Unwarranted Unreasonable, and Undeserved Character Reversals. You know when that one character is one way for a long stretch, and shows no signs of changing at all? Each scene, each episode reinforces them being that one way with no foreshadowing of otherwise? Then suddenly, they're a different person? You know all the "Anti-Social" protagonists suddenly are the leader of a group and whatnot?
NOW, I'm going to use Magi for example; I'm like 40 chapters in and one character who's a friend suddenly reappears now a foe. Now some may mistranslate that as a bad Character Reversal; but it's only bad if it's unsupported by reason. That said, one must admit, a character reversal as a twist is a tiring trope within itself, but I think that classifies as it's own... Sub-trope?
That's the trope I dislike. An example of this in Manga would be... hmm... Imma be honest I can't think of one right now, only ones from live action shows.
EDIT: I HAVE AN EXAMPLE! What's her name... Kozue from Baki, in Baki (Part 2 of the story) we get this super long "Power of Love" storyline between Kozue and Baki; Heck, there's even a spinoff Erotica Manga from Keisuke Itagaki to emphasize it for goodness sakes! And do you know what happens? Kozue ends up entertaining (Not literally) Ali Jr's attempt to steal her from Baki. Now, I get Baki's stance here; He's not going to lock her down; he want's what's best for her, whatever she wishes.
BUT, From when he gets sick, from the start of the manga they build up Kozue and Baki and through the Ratai Tournament or whatever it's called she's right there with him... Just to turn away, and be backseated until a half-@$$ed explanation is given in Part 3 to make her whole thing with Ali Jr seem justified. Just felt wrong man, that came out of nowhere; Can't read the second part to this day.

My fav trope is a WELL WRITTEN, sudden betrayal, especially if it is done by a character who the viewer trusted until the reveal.

My most hated trope is when the hero forgives the villains cause "muh moral superiority" bullshit. Then the villain goes and does terrible things to innocents, cause the hero was too much of a bitch to solve the problem head-on.

QoTD 69: What's at least one somewhat useful thing you learnt from watching anime, reading manga or really any media?

Could be anything like remembering a fact which helps you skip a calculation on a test or making you feel smart in a conversation, random line of dialogue which helps you get out of the woods after getting lost, actual life advice, etc.
