Hmm... for the Neon Genesis Evangelion universe I guess it would have to be the fact that it can be... complicated sometimes and hard to remember things. Some things are too open to interpretation I guess.
And how the hell did Seele get their hands on an Angel (Kaworu)?

I can answer your second complaint actually, since it's highly implied and hinted at that in the Contact Experiment with Adam when they found him in Antarctica that they tried to inject Human DNA into him (for some reason) and tried to apply restraints to him. He obviously went berserk and so they stopped him using the Lance of Longinus but not before he caused Second Impact.

After this, what was left and found was most likely the Adam Embryo (that Gendo obtains and places into his hand) and Kaworu with Adam's soul. He's basically Rei but Adam version, this is also shown as the Mass Production Eva's in End of Evangelion have Dummy Plug systems with Kaworu's name on them and so therefore powered by Kaworu clones, just like how NERV's Dummy Plug's are powered by Rei clones.

And here I thought I was an Eva geek already, and I didn't even know this. *hangs head in shame*

I'm going to say Diablo's universe. Honestly how is anyone still alive? You have massive 100 foot tall demons constantly laying waste to all around them. If you not a PC, the best you got is a few guys with a bow and arrow.

Also how does everyone believe demons are myths? They get attacked by them every other minute.

40k, specifically the Horus Heresy series. The Emperor acts like a giant twat to pretty much everyone and deliberately plays his sons off against one another and plays favourites...he then is left confused when the galaxy errupts into civil war as the neglected sons try to get some attention from daddy.

I remind you that The Emperor is supposed to be like a diety with strong powers of foresight, incredible intelligence and planning skills.

A Game of Thrones
Great universe with complex charcters, and amazing writing...only thing I have to nitpick is this...
Everyone is dumb as a brick. I mean c'mon "release the most dangerous man my son can fight, with questionable honor/ethics/hair care products, to search for my daughters!!"
NO JUST NO!!!

And must we forget "We will make this our kingdom" in the middle of THE MOST HOSTILE AREA EVER
...
all of them are bricks for brains

except Tyrion and Varys

also Hodor

(Based this off the books, never seen the TV show)

Ok, so the universe of Friendship is Magic:

I do not like the crazy mix of 1300-ish technology with current technology. They use candles to light their houses, but yet Twilight has some sort of advanced brain scanner in her library?
Also, Celestia and Luna are semi-deities, but why? This is never explained.

I've noticed in the Pokemon games there are no bathrooms.

If someone is tossing their cookies they always do it in a trash can, but never a toilet.

Where do they go to the bathroom? Outside?

Wait....I think I know why you get attacked by random pokemon, they're pissed that you use their home as a toilet, I'd be mad too.

EDIT: This really isn't a nitpick, but just something I find odd. If I really wanted to nitpick I'd say if the major criminal organizations like Team Rocket are so well know and evil, then how come no police force goes after them all them time.

Warhammer 40k...You suck all around.

I'm sure it has something to do with the bricks-for-brains writers GW has though.

What's your point? A lot of video games don't feature bathrooms.

Oh nothing, just something I've noticed and thought it was odd.

The series loves using signs, even for pointless things, and not one for that.

The only nitpick I have for One Piece is the lack of female priates.
No I'm not talking about Luffy crew or any secondary characters crews like Whitebeard of Shanks, I mean when it come to background pirate crews. Ok I can assume there were hardly any females pirates in a pirate crew in real life but come on, add a few more! It seen abit sexist for excluding them when it come to drawing some cannonfodder/ background pirates.
I never thought of that before D:

Can't wait for the dub to continue this month. Though I've already had rough fact that Ace dies ruined for me...

Middle-Earth.

Why the hell do they switch between English and Elvish mid-conversation?! They do this all the time! Pick a language, Legolas! I know, it's awesome being bilingual, but you don't have to rub it in our faces! And why didn't they throw the ring into the fires of Mt. Doom when Sauron was defeated the first time around? That would have really saved us some time! But no, make some stupid Hobbit kid do all the work for you! Do you know how many people died because of that?

Now I'm even more ashamed.

Erm, it was kinda because one of the Human Kings picked the ring up after Sauron's body was destroyed and was seduced by it. Then he ran away with it and soon after it dissapeared.

So yeah...

Don't be ashamed, do you want to become one with me instead and share our minds, bodies and soul? That might be nice! It'd be like... Human Instrumentation or something.... Instrumentality?

How the FUCK does Three-dog know about my ventures not even 3 seconds after they occur? Not only that, the guy calls me an evil bastard despite my good deeds all over the Capital Wasteland. I have sticky fingers. So what?

Ah... Sorry, I'm not a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, so I'm not entirely familiar with the lore.

Just saying about LOK Mako says that his job was well paid and we only saw 6 lightning benders, plus the mod leader Lightning Bolt Zolt had a reputation as a lightning better, wouldn't happen if it was a everyday thing.

That aside what bugs me about LOK is that two of the worst characters from the original series are alive while everyone else is dead. Uncool Nick.

Every sci-fi universe:

All the planets must just happen to be the same size as earth because the characters are not seen either bouncing up and down/wearing heavy boots or dragging their feet along.

Also the Marvel universe:

All of their superheros live in the same city, but whenever someone tries to attract a particular superhero by attacking random people, the superhero that turns up always just happens to be the one they want.

I think that's really subjective. I always thought Zuko and Katara were very interesting characters.
