The problem is that people overdose on TVTropes, and suddenly think everything can and should be applied.

Also, the examples for almost everything skew towards anime and are horrible. The few literary examples, if you even see any, are pitiful.

I don't think that discrediting anime as a whole is wise. Although it does tend to be much more of a consumer pandering market out of necessity, as a narrative medium it has the potential to be literary and many are. Yet it's usually put on the same level as videogames.

But you're correct, if you overdose on TVtropes you will write with specific tropes in mind and intentionally invoke them, which nearly always leads to lazy writing and shortcuts to character development through commonly known character archetypes.
