What are some good anime cliches?

I'm trying to get some information as to what's the continuous trend that almost every single anime has and try to find the positive aspects. So far, I came up with the following.

Mature Themes

The Opening Sequences

Mixed Hair Styles

Art Style

I just need one more really good cliche that occurs around anime. What do you guys think?

    Here are some:

    1. Comparison of bust size

    2. Pervertedness

    3. Nose bleeds

    4. Holding original power back and when they times come, they say something like I will show you my true power.

    5. I don't know if this counts but you see children at a very young age living alone and commuting to school.

    6. New transfer students

    7. Parents dying at a young age.

    Hmm well these are pretty common in all types of anime

    nose bleeds

    perverts

    orphans

    abnormal strength (especially in action anime)

    there's usually some kind of innocent person who is dragged into the conflict in the plot (usually a girl or small child)

    Sorry that's all I can think of

    Posing, spiky hair, perverts, nose bleeds, characters being orphans, set in high schools and stupid main characters.
