Little things that you love in the anime

[Misty-Moo]

All those of us who love the anime, watch it for, on the whole, the same reasons. Regardless of whether we like or dislike certain characters, find some things annoying or repetitive, we want to see what happens to our heroes.

But are there also inconsequential little things that you just adore?
I love the noise Pikachu (and some other small Pokemon) makes when he runs, or jumps on and off things, I think it's really cute.

Chespin and Pancham's rivalry/bromance is something I will always love.

This sounds a little negative for a thread about things that one likes... but I like it when a character's Pokémon doesn't mimic the expression their Trainer does as you'd normally expect. For example, later seasons have Pikachu apologizing along with Ash when Ash's stomach growls, which is weird. But there's this one time where Ash scratched the back of his head and laughed, yet Pikachu just glanced at him with a ¬.¬ expression. It's cute when that happens.

There are really so many little things I like a lot, which is why my fav episodes are typically fillers because they have more of the basic interactions that make Pokemon so great. I really like(d) the little bits of attitude we got from Misty, May, and Dawn. I pretty much loved all the little things May did, but I guess thats a different story. I also really like when characters wink for some reason (which happened way more in the earlier days). Its also really fun to rewatch older episodes and notice how much they are influenced by the culture of the time and relive those times. I also really enjoy Pokemon with emotional problems/attitude problems, especially Ash's Chikorita, which was about as cute as it comes early on(especially in that first winter vacation she is in which is totally fabulous). I also really enjoy symmetry (this is probably unpopular) like when something from a long time ago is either referenced, revisited, or even reperformed in a new way. I just love the emotion that goes in to the anime, which is what makes me like it more than the games (which I still love of course). I could go on with a lot of other things, but that will be enough for now.

I love it when game mechanics are applied to the anime.
I also love it when all of the characters interact and do something in an episode.
