Student Internet portal My Navi Gakusei no Madoguchi recently polled 269 college students (129 male and 140 female) who regularly watch Japanese animation and/or read Japanese comics, asking them what anime and manga situations they’re sick of seeing over and over again, and found particularly negative reactions to the following five.

近日，日本某学生互联网门户网站采访了269名日本动漫的发烧友，均为大学生（男性129名，女性140名）。该网站调查了这些漫友“神烦”的各种动漫桥段，以下五种场景最终不幸当选。

1. Body-swapping

1. 身份互换

Sure, some moderately high-profile series, like Birdy the Mighty and Kokoro Connect, have involved characters switching or sharing bodies, and it’s the primary hook of mega-hit Your Name, but a lot of casual observers wouldn’t point to this as one of anime’s go-to storytelling devices. Nevertheless, many of the survey respondents said they’ve already seen enough works that fall into this category. One woman wrote the genre off with “You know what’s going to happen,” and apparently has no desire to sit through another anime where the two souls learn to appreciate each other’s differences through joint body custody.

诚然，许多红极一时的电视剧中，如《铁腕女警》和《恋爱随意链接》等，都有身份互换的桥段。最近火爆的《你的名字。》，也是以身份互换为噱头。即便如此，大部分受访大学生依然表示，采用这种“套路”的作品太多了。一位女士这样描述这种风格：“谁都知道接下来会发生啥，”所以没有人有耐心看完整部剧，等着他们两人因为身份互换而慢慢互相欣赏。

2. Time travel

2. 穿越时空

Time travel series have been picking up steam, with the convention showing up in Re:Zero, Steins;Gate, and Puella Madoka Magica. “There’s a surprising sameness to [time travel anime],” declared one respondent, and she might have a point, as stories in this category almost always end up funneling the narrative towards a last-ditch attempt to avoid butting up against an unwanted future.

穿越时空的桥段最早出现在《从零开始的异世界生活》《命运石之门》和《魔法少女小圆》中，随后一直经久不衰。“穿越时空类的动漫都有惊人的相似之处，”一位受访者表示。她说得没错，这类故事最终一般都是改写未来。

3. Harems

3. “偶像天团”

“They’re almost all exactly the same,” lamented one respondent. Introduce the main character, add potential romantic partners at the rate of one character per episode through meet cute or meet sexy moments, and by the time the harem is stocked, and there’s not much time left for anything of import to happen before the show has to wrap up.

“全是套路”，一位受访者说。先介绍主角，然后在随后每一集安排一个邂逅场景，并引入主角的一个伴侣。“天团”成员到齐后，就没有什么别的东西可以加了，之后这部剧就草草收场。

4. Alternate world stories

4. 平行世界

It’s a tactic anime writers have been relying on since at least 1983’s Aura Battler Dunbine. “They’re boring, since you know what’s going to happen next,” grumbled one male respondent, with another giving the more specific complaint of “Eventually some god-like being makes an appearance, and that just spoils the fun.”

从1983年的圣战士丹拜因开始，动漫作家们开始热衷于采用平行世界的故事模式。“这种剧太无聊了，谁都能猜到后面会发生什么”，一位受访的男士这样吐槽。另外一位受访者的吐槽更加具体：“最后会有一种神秘力量出现，然后就没啥意思啦！”

5. Bringing characters back from the dead

5. 死而复生

For a medium that’s extremely comfortable portraying violence, anime can sometimes be rather reluctant to let its stars rest in peace. “You just know they’re not actually dead,” said one male respondent.

当今媒体早已习惯于暴力场景的描述了，于是动漫作家经常不得不让主角先“狗带”。“大家都懂的，他们没有真死，”一位受访者这样说道。
