Definitely the oversexualization of young girls, includes women who are supposed to be older but are infantilized by their character design and their voice sounding higher pitched and younger.

I have to agree with the oversexualization of young female characters... especially if they're barely teens. Its fucking weird!

Speaking of that shit, in a similar vein - the takeover of the magical girl genre by weird horny guys! Male fans of mahou shojo have always been a thing but after Madoka Magica "edgy magical girl story for Men" became a Genre and it's exhausting. Like, it's suffering / torture porn of 12 year olds for grown ass guys who seemingly hate the genre while still being horny for it?!? And it's all shit because of that!
There were deconstructions and edgy magical girl shows long before Madoka Magica that are way more interesting and nuanced but they're not aimed at adult men so who gives a shit right
The one that pissed me off most was Yuki Yuna Is a Hero.

Sigh I am back with another annoyance. I mostly read mangas as opposed to watching anime so I can focus on what's being said better, but manga panels from unnecessary angles (usually seeing up a girls skirt or something??) grinds my gears. It can be something as normal as a school conversation and then boom unflatery panies shot for no reason

So I'm still new to anime, but I can tell you off the bat from the 4 I've watched, I cannot handle the pervert female begging for the hero to do all the filthiest shit to them in vulgar detail. Like... Uber uncomfortable. I was actually thankful I was home watching alone because even watching with my spouse would have made me weirded out and that's a new feeling.
I didn't realize that was a normal thing and I've been screening my watching better to avoid that.
Example A: least fav character today - Tio, the psychotic masochist dragon slut, from Arifureta. Kind of wish she'd fall in a hole and die.
I HATE the very final episode of so many anime, and I always feel like it falls under the same umbrella:
Actually pretty cool thing turns out to not be the actual ending and they instead go with something significantly lamer that ends up ruining the entire series (IMO.)
That sounds broad, but here are 2 good examples. Keeping in mind I don't read manga.
Soul Eater
Tokyo Ghoul
My second least favorite trope that kind of comes in at a close second is "first scene is supposed to crush you emotionally to get you attached and invested."
I wouldn't say it's because it's more objectively bad like the above, it just doesn't work on me. It strikes me as a weird bait when I believe there's better ways to kick things off, especially in a series where there is a LOT of loss and you sort of become numb to it anyways.
And lastly full-filler anime.
I love filler, but if hundreds or thousands of episodes have a MASSIVE percent of filler (especially not even side character development filler) then it doesn't seem any better than a cash grab in something like a video game or extra seasons to a mega popular show. I skipped back in the day, and now I won't even bother looking at it no matter how much anyone says it's worth it.
Idk how anyone has the time nowadays.

My husband started from episode 1 and I really did try. I tried so hard.
I made it 5 minutes and the sheer volume of episodes just completely shut me down. Hard pass.
He said there's an abridged version without all the fluff, but then I feel like it's cheating.
In middle school, I remember one of the dragon balls being 30 minutes of 2 dudes yelling at each other because the manga wasn't caught up yet. Or so I was told. It feels like an emotional waste of time.
