The idea of breaking down a work into tropes is not bad in itself, analysing how a particular thing works, what it adds to a piece.

The problem is:

- most tropes are just things that exist ("Hawaiian shirt" is a trope, for one of the more obvious examples)

- There is no analysis of what things mean or why they are used. A page for a work will just have a list of "tropes" in it, a page for a trope will just have a list of works that it appears in. There's little to no attempt to think of why a trope is used or how it is used.

- Dumbass naming scheme for each trope

- The tendancy of tropers to name tropes outside of the site, regardless of how awkward it makes a sentance

- The tendancy of tropers to capitalise tropes outside of their site as though it will magically become a hyperlink

- Ultimately, TVTropes is like a nerd taking apart a radio and naming each piece without thinking about how each piece works to make a radio. It's decent enough as a list site, but it's not really anything like the reference tool TVTropes advocates make it out to be.


That's just the current problems with the main site.

What's the story with the Japanafornia translation anyway? Was that some corporate mandate?
the whole series relies on puns. so they had to make the setting america in order to give the characters western names.

haruhi and tamaki got married and had kids, and also haruhi was a great lawyer

for real tho, the manga ended with haruhi going to america for college and tamaki coming with her because, as a rich kid, he can do whatever the gently caress he wants

Serious post: Yuki and Yuno's relationship is better than 90% of anime romances.

at least they seem actually interested in each other in their own hosed up way, as opposed to sharing one awkward moment of eye contact and then they're willing to die for each other
