Post anime cliches here.
I love it when characters close their eyes and smile. And when they fall down after another character does something stupid or wierd.-Spok-

Sweatdrops when they're scared or exasperated?

Or when they're embarressed.
I also love it when characters put their arms bent over their head touching their back or something. I dunno it just looks cool.-Spok-

Big eyes.

and other 'big' things... but let's not go there... for fear that this topic will lead to another hentai thread...

Pulsing vein on the forehead...
Screen contrast change durring sudden realization moments too...

Cute little monsters that can turn into giant horrible monsters, a la Mappy from Dragon Half or Gema from DiGi Charat(remember when he drank ALL that water? =P)

the "big eyes" thing was started in anime because they felt that they could get more emotion out if you could put the eyes into it. you can't really do much with the "traditional japanese eye". so i wouldn't really consider it a cliche.

I suppose that makes sense.
Anyway, my personal pet peeve is the "peace sign" or "victory sign" with two fingers.
