| I think all anime should have some element of love. As long as it doesn't take away from the plot, isn't exaggerated and overdramatised it can only add a plus to the anime. I'll give you an example of a completely romance-less anime that has a bit of an element of love: Dragon Ball Z. I think Goku x Chichi, Vegeta x Bulma etc were stuff that made DBZ even more enjoyable. (Chichi's parts were a bit annoying at some points though). |
| I love my gurlz |
| VegetaxBulma made me go "WTF WHAT HOW DID WHAT" ......so I can't really get behind DBZ's "romance". It's crack.....that's what it is. The best relationship is the father-son thing with Piccolo and Gohan. |
|
| No, romance is overrated unlike action. Fate UBW 2014 would be a lot better without the romance. Rin blushing 24/7 and being a tsundere even though she wants Emiya's D badly. |

Dragon Ball doesn't have a romance tag. There is 0 romance in the whole anime. My point is that adding love, couples, etc in a series without romance is always a good thing to do because it adds I don't know more realism? Vegeta turning from a prideful shithead to someone that cared for his wife and son, Goku teaching his son, Piccolo teaching Goku's son etc. Would you have prefered it for Goku and Vegeta to never have a wife and therefore no Trunks, Gohan, Goten etc. Or would you have prefered it for Goku and Vegeta to have wives but their name & faces to never be mentioned in the manga as a means to just justify their kids? |
| I love my gurlz |
| Never been a great fan of how romance is portrayed in anime, even in series where it's the main focus (there are exceptions of course), so adding love stories where they are not needed would most likely lower my enjoyment. |

I don't agree with this at all. If you're going to add couples and romance it needs to have proper buildup. If anything it takes realism away when you start to think about how they ended up. No I wouldn't have preferred no face wives, but I just want the ones that were shown to have their marriage and love for their husbands make sense. |

I'm not entirely convinced Goku doesn't think sex is a type of food and Chichi did something while he was sleeping one night. |

| Less romance make better anime. |
lalabella said: Less romance make better anime. Not if shipping characters is your main reason for watching anime. I know I'm so sad 8D @DrGeroCreation: Okay, that's something at least. But the Vegeta thing is still left field. Male tsundere show affection A LOT once their feelings are out in the open. Takuto, Kyon, Tomoe, even freaking Inuyasha ALL hug and kiss their girlfriends. Vegeta doesn't so much as LOOK at Bulma.....and he didn't help raise their kid.....so it's hard for me to buy that he actually loves anybody. I can't think of him as a tsundere; more like a cold-blooded murderer who progressed to cold-blooded jerk who is good enough to keep people from dying but not good enough to support them or open up to them. |

| I'm a sucker for romance but there are shows that are better off without romance. |
 |
| Romance is a tricky genre that most of the time is better off left as a subgenre rather than a focal point of a show. I am a huge fan of well written romance though. That said, there is no necessity to have a serious romance. The main necessity for character driven plots are fleshed out character relationships that are interesting and well developed. Romance just happens to be the most complicated and (potentially) deepest possible relationship type between characters. There are plenty of story lines that have no use for the portrayal of a romantic relationship. |

MintPanda said: Romance is a tricky genre that most of the time is better off left as a subgenre rather than a focal point of a show.. It's weird how much I agree with this. But I do agree with this. Marmalade Boy made me want to throw things. It turned into a soap opera because they focused TOO MUCH on she-loves-he-loves-they-loves-rival-loves ARGH. |

| If two characters has good chemistry, yes. If not, no stop if possible, we can make another one. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |

| sometimes, romance are thing that make me keep watch it. *cough*cough*steins;gate*cough*cough* |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Romance is needed if it's centered on romance (duh). But it should mostly be if it makes a relevance to the plot. Example HighSchool DxD (though it's more later in the LN then it's kinda thrown away) or Baby Steps as it provides motivation. Or if it doesn't relate to the plot then it's really not needed. |

Really please don't force anime makers to make a romance from every story, I'm not sure but there are already love categories like Romance, Etti and love may be in Hentai. And more important how could exist Yaoi and Yuri without love? xD |

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| In anime focused on romance, it's all about the execution. If the "love" isn't done properly, the anime's gonna go downhill. As for anime that isn't focused on romance, love is not necessary, but it can help enhance the viewing experience if it is developed and executed properly. If i find the love element to be redundant or overdone, then that will be a huge hit against the value of the anime. |

| Absolutely no D: Chiibi said: Romance kills more anime than it saves imo. Example: SAO That's not a good example at all. Kirito's feelings for Asuna were his main motivation to fight without giving up. I have no clue why you don't think that's important. The "love part" actualy broke the anime. In my opinion when he starting fighting "all for her" and nothing else the plot got boring and predictible. It was about a game-drama, not a love-fantasy story |
DrGeroCreation said: No, romance is overrated unlike action. Fate UBW 2014 would be a lot better without the romance. Rin blushing 24/7 and being a tsundere even though she wants Emiya's D badly. Guess people have different tastes. I was never much of a fan of fights, not in any anime (or live action for that matter). Unless there's interesting dialogue, it's usually pretty much filler material for me. And actually I like tsunderes. They stretch the sweetest part of romance over a long number of episodes. Some of them are obnoxious, but this one isn't. I watch it both to see how they manage to resolve the mess they are in and to see how much her heart opens this time.

In my opinion when he starting fighting "all for her" and nothing else the plot got boring and predictible. It was about a game-drama, not a love-fantasy story I disagree. What other motivation could he have had? "I want to be the best"? That would be the most stupid motivation ever and I can't think of any anime where it would have produced any quality material. "I want to get out of here"? Everyone does, that would not distuingish him from any other players. However, if an already highly sympathetic person is in love, that motivation is powerful. That could actually set him apart from others enough in order to justify his role. And wait, now you are assuming the role of the author and telling him that the story is "about the wrong thing?". What the hell? If you want a different story, write your own. A story is exactly what the author makes it to be, in this case, partially a love story. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
| The anime isn't always revolving on the romance. Perhaps if you may notice, some of anime are not suitable for having romance. Yes, it is greatly somehow the finale of an anime ended up with romance but not always. Maybe you can insert a romance (love story) but minimal only because the main focus should not always around it. This is why the system of genre is there to separate things. |
| NO. I don't need any romance in shokugeki no souma!!>.< sometimes unnecessary romance can break my mood to keep watching the show. especially subplot romance with strong harem elements. GAHH. just gtfo already. |

Also it caters to my obsession of huge positive changes in characters (such as bad guys becoming good guys), a tsundere practically guarantees that. |

It hasn't happened in the manga so it's not gonna happen in the anime. I've been reading Shokugeki no Souma since the first chapter was released (Tosh is my nigga) and I can honestly say I can't see it happening at all. There was a good amount of emphasis on the girls at the beginning of the series, but it kinda faded away and it's been a good while since Erina has even done anything. Souma is too busy trying to be #1 to be sidetracked with romance. |
| Fuck no. I hate watching romance 95% of the time. I'd probably stop watching altogether if all anime had a love story. |
| nah |
 |
| not always, some of the best shows don't have romance. i'm okay with a well written romantic subplot though. |
