This thread is intended for people who watch enough anime to get irritated by things in it that keep cropping up. Basically it exists because I want to bitch about excessive fanservice. This includes lots of unecessary upskirt shots, Gainaxing (exaggurated breast physics), and creepy underage girl situations.
Also, I'm annoyed when I watch a cool series that I think my kids would enjoy, only to find that the dub version has unnecessary foul language. Japanese isn't known for its creative curse words, they don't do taboo. They tend to be things like saying 'you' in an overfamiliar manner. Companies will punch it up to appeal to certain types of viewerships.
Oh, also excessive flashbacks in an espisode. Some series will do several minutes of 'flashbacks' before the show starts, some of which are from the previous episode. Oh, and also summary episodes, I hate those. I end up watching them in case they're going to introduce something new, but only do that often enough to make me vulnerably hopeful.
