I can think of significantly more anime tropes that I despise than tropes that I like.

The "ancient goddess/spirit/vampire/older woman looks like a little girl" trope can work, but it needs to be handled properly. And anime rarely does.

I think of the character Claudia from Interview with the Vampire. She was 5 years old when she was turned. Her mind ages and develops, but her body doesn't. So, she has the mind of a grown woman, decades old by the end, trapped in a little girl's body. It isn't treated as cute or sexy, it is a mental and emotional torture that drives her insane.

Ooh! Ooh! I got another one.

Random cute little blorpy monster things that go "Kyu kyu!" or some other nonsensical vocal tick, which are mysteriously integral to the plot, and the heroes must keep alongside them.

So. Many. Games and anime cram shit like this in. It all bleeds together.

Harems that are completely one-sided.

Don't introduce cute girls to fawn over an MC that won't even look in their direction.

Examples include Shield Hero and Death March. Death March is particularly bad because MC bangs prostitutes off-screen, so he's not even averse to sex.

he doesn't want to bang the harem because they're teens and pre-teens.

After trying the first episode of Demon Slayer, I thought of another one: they over-explain shit. There's a small fight scene where the main character charges at a dude that effortlessly knocks him out, only to notice that the MC isn't holding the hatchet he had. He looks up just in time to see it flying at him. What happened is obvious, but the show still explains that the MC had thrown the hatchet earlier and hid his hands when charging. It's like an extra minute of explanation for no reason.

No doubt the characters are about to kiss but uh oh someone/thing intrupts them and their relationship progress resets to zero. Repeat every episode until the season/series final where they finally end up together because they have always loved each other

Death March's MC is 29 years old before reincarnating as a 15-year-old.

One girl is 40+ years old before reincarnating into an 11-year-old.

As much as I hate the token loli, I think the worst trope is the invincible hero.

I'm talking the kind of character where an enemy comes at them with a sword and they effortlessly block it between their finger and their thumb. The kind where a villain hits them with a big energy blast, the bad guy laughs assuming the hero is dead, and the dust clears to reveal the hero is completely unphased. Sometimes they're overpowered jerks who walk through 90% of the anime unphased and there's actually someone out there who can challenge them. Sometimes, they're genuinely invincible. In any event, I can't stand them.

The worst worst is when you combine that one with the harem trope, which they usually do. Oh and of course they throw in a loli or two in the harem

One I'm reminded of watching Attack on Titan. The opening for an episode is just the last few minutes of the previous one. Really annoying when you're binge watching.

The twist with that character was Sixth Sense or Usual Suspects levels of unexpected to me... but so fucking stupid and baffling. I assumed the show was done after that arc but that conclusion was just like wtf now I don't know what to think and it seems asinine to continue it but it seems asinine to end it that way. I did watch that sequel movie thing they did too and that didn't really change how I felt about it at all. It was just kinda "oh yeah well of course they would do this too..."

I don't know of this happening in Anime. Maybe you are watching Hentai, by accident. Honestly that did happen to me once. I can't think of the name of it (it was years ago) it was started out like this action show . And then ... other stuff happen. Wasn't by cup of tea.

They aren't siblings, but there are two cousins in Elfen Lied who have a romantic relationship played completely straight.
