No its just adorable.
Can you articulate why its adorable though? Do you see why some of us see it as demeaning?

It's something like, their high school is our college, and their college would be our post-grad.
And no one makes movies about post grads unless their name is John Nash.
I had a friend once who did that all the time to women. Told me it was his way of telling them they were cute. They all told me that they hated it whenever I asked them about that. It's very demeaning. Women are not pets. Also here's a weird recurring thing. Same hair color as the eyes and very strange hair colors. Why do so many have odd hair colors? It makes more sense in fantasy settings but the majority of school things have extremely odd hair colors for seemingly no reason.It just is. Its cute.
Nope I dont see how its a bad thing.
There are even shows where guys act like pets.
When they run like this in shounen anime
That one's a ninja thing.When they run like this in shounen anime
I can't find other examples but since Misato i've seen this scene in many, many others anime
Never understood this. Do Japanese people scream out like this when they drink beer IRL? I've been drinking with some Japanese friends before, are they holding back their natural reactions from embarrassment over how I'll react?
That one's a ninja thing.
That's a cheap excuse.Ao is a demon with a set of normal ears and a set of hair ears that acts as an antenna. All the girls in the show have abilities like that.

Ugh this so much. Can't stand it.Y'know what, I'm fucking sick and tired of almost every anime having high school kids as protagonists too.
Why do so many animes revolve around high schoolers? Is being an adult so fucking depressing over there that even anime shows that are aimed to adult viewers is about high school, so that they can reminisce over that shit or what? I just can't understand why so many animes revolve around high school kids, but very few about actual capable young adults in their early 20s. Almost none of them actually portrait a realistic high school environment, story or characters either. The universes and environments are different but it's still about people in HS. I know a lot of shows are aimed at kids so it makes sense for a lot of them to be the same age etc, but it's ridiculous how prevalent it is even when the shows aren't aimed for young teens.

A German connection. Evangelion, Steins;Gate, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Attack on Titan all involve the German language somehow.
I guess the WW2 ties still linger.
That just made it more creepy.That's for anime fanboys that live vicariously through fictional characters hence why it always tends to be in first person.

I always assume that the strange hair colors are just a way to avoid the samey face syndrome that plagues a shit ton of anime. It's really easy to have an interesting color palette without just slapping as many colors on there as possible. I find it very hard to relate to characters who act nothing like actual people would, in any sort of media. It's part of the reason why I pretty much stopped watching anime altogether except for a few exceptions when the characters do act (and look) more realistic or if the show is GOAT status like FMAB. In the past three years i've had way more fun and laughs watching CN cartoons.Anime is just fun a lot of times and the colors are part of that. Theres also nothing wrong with patting a character on the head. The problem here is trying to apply anime ideals to real life. If your friend actually does that he is probably a fedora neckbeard who doesnt respect women or something but anime is not reality or anything close.
I have a great sense of how to act in reality as opposed to what I see in anime. If someone acts that way to actual people it is not anime's fault.
I dont pat people on the head in reality (I do hug everybody though). In a lot of cases, the girls in anime do act petlike. Some of them have animal ears and tails. Its all very cute to me. I enjoy the lightheartedness of it, especially if work was stressful.

toasts are important
This actually reminds me of something else, how toast in anime often has the jam or whatever else only in the middle, like they couldn't be bothered to spread it to the edges of the toast. Who the fuck does that?
Something important happens:

Never seen it, but it sounds like I shouldn't.
It just is. Its cute.

I wonder if there are any threads on Japanese or (insert country here) forums titled "Weird Recurring things in western shows" or something similar. I was also wondering what would happen if someone made a thread like that here.
But then I realized it probably wouldn't get that many posts since this forum is mostly North American I think. There's nothing weird to point out about what aligns with your default perception of what's normal. While it's easy to point out what differs in the media from a country that has a different enough culture/media culture than your own.
I guess that's why I can't sympathize with people who seemingly get angry at particular mundane things in anime. I think it helps your perspective to entertain the thought that there are people who find things you find normal to be weird or strange as well.

Oh so you totally detach any piece of fiction from any relevance to reality. I think they inform each other but interesting to hear the opposite. I can respect that.I never can relate to anyone in anime or movies. Im too weird.
I dont self insert myself into the role of a character either so those blank slate guy characters are just boring.

This has always bugged me because they always seem to imply that not moving your arms makes you run faster. Which is the opposite of true.

Quick scene change and the character is in shock in the situation he/she landed in.
Actually it's not that weird considering their country is an island.

another one is a bit broader, but it's explaining the joke. as in, the funny thing happens, and then a character will say out loud exactly the thing i just saw and/or reiterate the punchline.
Fullmetal Alchemist does too.
Indian soap dramas, too! Well I imagine a lot of soap dramas.
