Have you ever watched a romance anime and loved it, only for your preferred ship to sink so catastrophically it rivaled the Titanic?

I know I have...

So leave behind an anime you completed and felt unhappy with the pairing, and what your preferred pairing would have been.

For me, it was White Album 2,
and Nagi no Asukara.

Strawberry Panic, Hikari x Amane. Honestly they are perfect for each other, both being completely empty shells of an archetype, but Yaya deserved better...

Welp better get it over with.....

SAO MC (whatever his name is) X Asuna

Actually, these two are good for each other since they're both very uninteresting and are so over-the-top on several occasions....

But this thread isn't about bad pairings....it's about disappointing pairings, and I can't think of a more disappointing one than this.


Oreimo is more retarded than disappointing IMO....

Nagi no Asukara was disappointing with basically all of it's final pairings.

Too many to name. Most of the OTPs suck.

But if your talking about the biggest slap in the face, its in Mashiroiro Symphony.

What are you talking about?
Being predictable doesn't make things less disappointing. Actually it made it more so.

I mean it's hard to be disappointed by something if you see it coming from a mile away; you have more time to cope. The only paring I was unsatisfied with was

Oh come on! Kaname was the best! Considering that he got by the far the least amount of screen time, he did the most with it. He was also the only character who wasn't overdramatic and angsty all the time.

I guess so about the lack of angst. I just thought he was a boring character and didn't really like him from the start.

The only characters I liked in the show were Hikari and Miuna. And Chisaki. Sort of.

I guess the entire show was just pretty damn cliche. It was effective though.

This dude. I feel you so much....this was a killer for me; Miuna just deserved so much better WTF MAN! Honestly though, if Hikari was to give up his love for Manaka just like that, Miuna might not have liked him as much.

I have to agree they weren't the best couple and yuri (was the girl, right?) was annoying.

This is one that isn't quite official, but looks like it going to be: Chihaya/Arata from Chihayafuru. If they hook up, I am going to flip the fuck out and ragequit that show (probably not, but I will be very upset).

At this point in the manga it's likely. And AgK has never failed to be predictable.

I originally started watching the anime because of the light novels' rating. But I didn't like a single episode so far, so the only things that kept me going back (since the end of the first episode) and watching more episodes were: a) shipping (sorry...) b) no new episodes of the airing anime to watch in the middle of the week (yea, that's not a big "problem" anymore, I have a lot of stuff to study for University).

Both. Hitagi and Shinobu are best with Karen coming in a relatively distant third.

I'm watching S2 right now and their relationship (Shinobu and Araragi) is quite touching, she's probably my favorite character in the whole series.
