I'm really sorry that my expectations are quite high sometimes and I dislike 90% of the movies/animes.
Let's take Ergo Proxy for example, which had pretty nice story and got a couple of cool ideas going on in it (Equilibrium + Aeon Flux + a lot more in one thing). Everything is fine until we meet the main character. I freaking hate it when badass guys act like pussies and like they couldn't find their way in life. And it's more of a trend with recent anime (which is bad).
I liked EP overall, but it was definitely lacking in some departments. For the duration of entire series I wanted to slap Vincent in the face shouting "Wake up!". He looked and acted like he would have an ev filled with sedatives permanently pumping them into his body.
I am all after stopping the trend of characters who go:
"I am immortal and can call down fire from the sky or do some other kinds of terrible, terrible damage but at the same time I'm going to cry like a woman, be shy and undecided and restrain myself from using my power" - seriously, WTF?!
P. S.
Dumb, heartwarming stories make me nausiated. Not warm and fuzzy inside.

Haha i completely agree with you. Tis why i enjoy shit like the new Fist of the North Star OVAs and the Hellsing Ultimate OVAs. The badasses are actually badass throughout
. But you dont find many anime with that type of genre/caliber. Everything has to deal with highschoolers, harem, and cheesy drama/comedies. It is getting pretty old and redundant..
