| This happens in every romance anime, and I don't like it. I mean, the main character should just choose one and just stick with him/her (usually her). |
| I really hate the love triangles I create. All ready to ship a couple but then a new person shows up with a sad story and I want them to have all the love instead... yes I'm looking at you Shin-Ah, you poor bastard. |
 Now, Titania, shall we bet? If those two would get along. Rather than that, it would be better to bet on how many are made. |
AtroSpecter said: I mean, the main character should just choose one and just stick with him/her (usually her). Nope. That would be boooooooooring. There has to be some form of conflict and if it's in the form of a love triangle then I'm fine with it. Just execute it well enough & make it as less cliched as possible.. |
| I think love triangles are fine as long as the main character picks someone at the end and its not cheesy |
| "We don't have a choice. The World is cruel." |
| Yes. Love triangles are cancer. Just fuck off 3rd wheel character that has no chance anyways. If the character actually has a legit chance it's different, but since most of them appear and you just know they're not gonna be there in the end. Disgusting. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| It has conflicts that adds to strong character development for all the characters and in many cases, there is no predictable winner that makes it more interesting. While I say this, I also enjoy when there is a pure relationship and want the main character to pick who I believe is the best girl, particularly in harem animes such as to- love ru. |

| Love triangles always make any romance in fiction interesting. It is an opportunity to delve into several things brought on by the conflict . A romance anime without one is bland as hell. |
| Like everything else, a love triangle done poorly is bad. Pointing out the obvious, all plot devices and tropes are just dependent on how you utilize them. Even tsuns can be good (Makise Kurisu). |

| Love triangles are good if well executed as they are a source of conflict and drama in a show. |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |

| I kinda like love triangle and I don't mind them. It can make story intense. School Days <3 |
| I don't like romantic drama all together. |

| I love well done love triangles, but absolutely despise horribly done love trianges. Well done = Nagi no Asukara Horribly done = Shakugan no Shana |
  |
| I hate pointless drama not the love triangle itself. |
 |
| I hate it when the story is heavy on the love triangle drama where as the character whos gonna lose is so obviously gonna lose, it makes the drama so pointless and every time it attempts at the drama, I cringe and facepalm. Shakugan no Shana is a great example of horribly pointless love triangle drama that contributed little to nothing to the series. I also dislike shoujo triangles with 1 girl and 2 boys. |

|
| I typically dislike them because they're normally poorly done. You can usually tell when when the 3rd character is there just for the sake of causing a love triangle, not because they actually have a chance at getting with the MC. If there was a legitimate love triangle that actually adds something to the story then I wouldn't mind that. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I also don't intend to love them, especially when you never who he\she will end up with (vampire knight, for example) and that's why I tend not love harems (as no one is picked up in the end. though I THINK it's more common in reverse harem) |
 |
| i don't like love triangle too...mostly in shoujo, but still i watch them anyway owo |
| What are u talking about? Love triangles make the romance animu into 10/10 stuff. If u feel sad about the left-alone girl then dont worry, just take her to urself lol |
| They're better than love hexagons. I think they're fine for the most part. If the people involved end up in actual relationships at the end then it can feel more satisfying than if there wasn't a triangle. Love squares where there's at least one same-sex couple are interesting too. |
  |
| Well it depends if the anime is: Not Romance : then it can be fine if it helps to develop characters Short romance : must be very well done Long Romance : "boring", unnecessary, a longer romance anime should have some more to it then a triangle Keep in mind, it's my opinion, and there can be exceptions. |

 |
| I absolutely hate it. It's annoying. |
| Who loves hate triangles? This happens in every drama anime, and I love it. I mean, the main character should hate as many people as possible and stick with them. |
 |
| I like it, especially when it's executed properly like in Ao Haru Ride! :) |
   |
| I can like or dislike it depending of the execution. But I usually don't like when one of the members of the triangle lost, because it's tend to be sad. |
 |
| I personally don't hate it, in fact I want so see more of those animes! It gives me lots of enjoyment like Kiss x Sis, High School dxd or Trinity Seven :) I dunno what to do if that was in IRL :P I would probably get jealous. |
 |
| Not me, it makes the story more interesting. |
| The only time it gets annoying is when you see it in almost every shoujo manga. Just look at Kaichou wa Maid-sama. It's a cheesy shoujo manga where it's painfully obvious that the main couple will end up together but the genius author thought it was nice to put a third wheel that's obviously gonna lose and make the shota crossdresser fall for Misaki creating a pointless reverse harem. I still like Misaki and Usui though. |
 |
| I do. I only love romance between couples. Love triangles ruin the story and romance IMO |
 |
| Also, love triangle meaning that 2 people love one? Or that one loves two, two loves three, and three loves one? |
| |
| Love triangles are legit fam, they make the setting better. |
Sev is for Seven Seven ate nine Seven is BETTER than everyone |
| Love triangles done right are good. Having an extra character just for the sake of conflict when we know he/she has no chance with the MC makes it less interesting, although not entirely boring. Every cliche or trope, no matter how tiresome or overused, if written and executed well enough, there's a high chance that the audience will love it. Not everything can be fresh and new. |
Something witty that makes you think I'm funny Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier |
| My favorites are when one of the three is just absolutely crushed. Like, their heart just gets broken into a whole bunch of little pieces. Romance sucks without the sads. |
| I've yet to see one that impress me. Nagi no Asukara's Love Polygon was cool, but I can't say I hate it since I haven't seen it's potential. |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
| I like the drama and in my opinion, it builds stronger relationships when the MC has to work hard to get the girl or vice versa. |
| I hate them. The best girl NEVER wins, so I don't even bother watching them anymore. |
 |
| Is there anyone on earth that actually in all honesty enjoys love triangles? I doubt it. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| Anime characters should support polygamy & that would solve all of these love triangles |
| Well see that my first anime was Macross which is basically "love triangle the anime" I gotta say that i don't mind them. Even though they are used a lot it doesn't really take away from the story, it just makes it better imo. |
 |
| I despise love triangles to the bottom of my soul. |
