Anime Tropes have been entertaining the viewers for a long and are used to point out a series motif. While it becomes easy to identify the genre of an anime by its trope, things are getting somewhat predictable these days. Thankfully some of the shows strictly avoid using these tropes, and we like that. Here we mention 10 such shows which decided to stay off anime tropes.

Trope 1- Tsundere

Tsundere are female characters who trouble the male characters even though they like them. Such characters are physically abusive and violent towards the male members. Some of these drive the main plot of the anime, but others become rather annoying. The following shows, though, do not incorporate Tsundere in their themes.

Say I love you

In this show, Mei Tachibana has no friends until she meets Yamato Kurosawa, who wants to be friends. When Yamato saves Mei from a stalker, they start coming close only to face certain obstacles. Mei finds it tough to express her love, but when she does, it is done in a more civil manner than a Tsundere would do.

Snow White with the red hair

Shirayuki is known for her bright red hair. Prince Raji Shenazard wants her to become his mistress, but she cuts her hair and escapes. Here she meets Zen Wistaria, who is the prince of Clarines. The prince invites her to his kingdom, and she accepts willingly. Shirayuki does not show temper tantrums like Tsundere and calmly handles the situation.

Trope 2: Invisible parents

As most anime shows, the parents of all kids are so busy that they do not have time to find what the kids are up to. Many animes have the trope of non-existent parents, which force the kids to indulge in activities that no average parent would allow. The below shows, though, disagree with the same.

Wolf children

When Hana was in college, she met a man who could become a wolf on full moon nights. Now she is blessed with two kids with them, and they can also do the same. Her life takes a turn when her husband is killed in his animal form. She now has to take care of both the kids without them knowing their true identity.

Yuri on Ice

The story is about Yuri Katsuki, who has come last at the Sochi Grand Prix final and has come home to understand what went wrong. However, a video of him performing a routine by the world champion Victor Nikforov goes viral. He is now in the spotlight, and Victor agrees to coach him. In this show, Yuuri’s parents are continuously there to support and help him. Their presence in his life makes him a kind and loving person.

Trope 3: Big Breasts

Anime series based in schools often have one female student whose breast size is often a topic of discussion. The male classmates comment on it and sometimes even fall on them. Though this is fairly used, some series avoided using it to mesmerize the audience.

Hyouka

Hyouka does not use this troupe. It has four members of the classic literature club, and they aim to solve the club’s 45-year-old mystery. More members join them as they solve cases like thefts during school fests and missing movie scenes. Of course, there is no vulgarity involved in this show.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

Saiki K is an average teenager but has pink hair and antennae jutting out of his head. He has abilities like telekinesis and teleportation and unfortunately lands in trouble with his classmates all the time. The Series is a comedy, but they do not use breasts to objectify the female characters. In fact, their comedy scenes are more about day to day situations.

Trope 4: Fragile female leads

Shows with loads of action sequences in them tend to show the female as helpless and incapable. These women are portrayed as dependent on the male members of the show. They are weak and cannot manage to do anything themselves.

Yona of the dawn

Princess Yona is just 15 years old but is the only heir to the throne of the Kouka Kingdom. On her birthday she is planning to have a party with her father King II, friend and bodyguard Hak and cousin Soo-Wun. However, things turn ugly when Soo-Wun murders her father.

Yona and Hak escape as she has witnessed the crime. During her run, she notices the poverty, crime, and corruption in her kingdom. This forces her to become strong and handle all the problems.

Michiko to Hatching

This show is a story of two female leads Michiko Malandro and Hana Hatchin Morenos. The story starts with Hana, abused by her foster parents, and Michiko, who is just out of prison. Michiko reaches Hana and claims she is her daughter, and both flee.

Together they go to find Michiko’s love and Hana’s father, Hiroshi. A detective Atsuko Jackson follows their trail. Both the ladies, despite having contrasting personalities, support each other and win this fight against the system.

Trope 5: Kids Save the day

There are many shows which show the kids as saviors. They are powerful enough to handle the problems created by villains. However, in reality, kids just don’t have the mental and physical strength to do so, and thankfully some shows believe that too.

One punch man

Saitama is a regular person who one day wants to become a hero. He trains hard and achieves the inevitable. Now he can defeat anyone with just one punch hence the title of the show. Various villains come and go, and Saitama defeats them all. And apart from the emperor, there are no kids in this show.

Trigun

This show starts with a $60 billion bounty being offered on Vash the Stampede. Vash hides from people, but insurance agents Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson are out to get him. These agents try and locate Vash and stop him from creating more mischief. The comedy of the show arises when these adults fail in their efforts to do so.
