1. An object in motion will remain in motion, and will be able to retain it’s motion regardless of interruptions until the plot tells it to stop.
2. The acceleration of a body is several times more than the net force acting on it.
3. When two bodies exert force on each other, they will exert twice amount of force in the opposite direction. Unless, of course, if one of the bodies is meant to be knocked over or smashed though.

Sweatdrop when the character is anxious

That red star thingy when the character is angry

Tsundere

Yandere

Rei look-a-like character

The protagonist being able to kick the ass of main badguy of an arc after only training for like a week. Also being able to master some move that took everyone else years.

At least in DBZ they gave them a chamber that stops time, so it makes sense.

Hot-blooded shonen characters
Cold, jerkass "super skilled" characters who get beaten by the much friendlier protagonist
Emotionless moe girl
Moe, in general
Moeblobs
Defeating a hierarchy of bad guy characters
Cutesy J-Rock opening themes
Generic J-Rock battle themes that usually sound the same
Entire crowd is generic characters except the main characters

If you're an anime fan then you know that there are tropes in it. Try and name all the troes off the top of your head pertaining to it.

I got a few after thinking.

The bigger and less practical the sword, the more damage it does

Every character has a never ending void of blood

If you're a witch you must have big boobs or be a loli

Shouting your attacks make them stronger

PLOT ARMOR

The ones with their eyes always closed if they open, you're dead

A tsundere, yandere, dandere, ect is the main characters love interest

The larger your harem the larger your PLOT

There is always the beach episode

If it exists then tumblr will ship it

Incest is wincest

The main character must be a boy, have disheveled hair, plain clothes, be a goody two shoes, have a pure child like heart, shine about everything, claim they fight for their friends, eat a lot then burn it off in a fight, have multiple near death experiences, have a harem, or be a girl with big boobs, easily shy about everything, will punch the boy if he sees her underwear, love said boy, be in high school and always sits near the window

The crowd is a massive blob

Every robot can combine

There will be hentai of it no matter how pure it is

The Beach Episode

Ace Pilot – (That one person that's better than everyone else)

Ace Custom – (The preferred mount of that one person that's better than everyone else.)

Impossible Hair

Idiot Hero

Pervert Hero

Transformation sequences

The power of friendship!

…And I'm drawing a blank now.

A beach or hot springs episode is something that happens at least once in a good amount of anime or manga. It's mostly a way to either take a break from something serious going on, or just put a lot of fanservice into a single episode.

I remember in the case of Outlaw Star their hot springs episode actually got cut from the Toonami broadcast schedule when it aired back in the early 00s, as this was pre-Adult Swim Toonami. The episode featured too much topless nudity that the censors couldn't do much with and still keep the rating to TV-Y7. I do remember Tenchi did manage to get it's hot springs episode aired because the censors were able to digitally add swimsuits to the previously naked girls (I remember for Ryoko they gave her a bikini in order to still retain the whole "trying to make herself look hotter than everyone else" thing, as uncensored the original thing was she was just straight up nude from the start of the scene, no towel coverage like the other girls).

(Because spending my time on a certain other site has ruined my vocabulary and left a list in my head…)
