| Love triangles are fine as a way to create drama. Just please don't be the only god damn thing happening in the show. |
| If it's handled well, I don't mind love triangles. Ofc, I prefer M+W+M. I especially love the ones which have a plot - twist resulting in the girl choosing the one who everyone thought she wouldn't pick. |

| I absolutely detest them. |
| I don't dislike love triangles, I dislike forced plot-lines. So if they're nonsensical, unnecessary or only added to add drama I do tend to dislike them. But that's only because I hate bad plot-lines, not because of love triangles in particular. |
 |
| I don't like love-triangles in any kind of media so there you go. Despise them in movies, animes, literature. Pretty much everywhere. |
| I actually kind of like them. I use to dislike them but after watching a few of them they have grown on me and depending on the actual anime they can be really good. |
| "All I wanna do is walk my own path, I wanna find my own way!" - Kisara Nanjo |
| Most of the time the pairing(s) that I want wins so yeah I like love triangles. |
| nope I actually like them ^^ There are funny ones but also depressing ones like in Bokura ga Ita or Strobe Edge. |
 |
| as long as the girl is black/red haired super beautiful woman I don't care even if Triangle or Square or Phytagram or Fivetagram Sixtagram Seventagram Eightagram even a Round, I like them. =D |
 |
| love triangles give me a boner |
| Hate, love relationship with love triangles lol. They are bad for my heart QQ. Makes for great drama if written well (Honey and Clover for example). I like shipping couples but HC made me forget about the shipping because it was that good >_>. |
| Being the distant corner of an isosceles triangle is not cool. |
| I hate all romance drama bullshit. Especially love triangles. in 80% of them you can tell who the guy's going to end up with, making it pointless. I just want to see the couple get together with no outer problems. Like the manga Bitter Virgin. They already had a great drama between the characters, but they still throw in a pointless love triangle in there for no reason. Really brought down the manga for me. |

| It depends on how well the plot is established, aswell as what it ultimately leads to. |
| I like them but when it gets one sided it also gets boring .-. |
| Nope, I find those kinds of stories to be pretty gripping if done properly. |
 |
| I typically hate romance in anime. I try to avoid it unless I really like the plot or the couple they are shipping. That being said. I am generally fond of harem animes with the male being the one with the harem if I do watch romance. I like them because I already know the deal going in, and I can choose which one I want him to be with. Now, love triangles, I like them if that is only a minor plot element (plus I have to like at least one of the girls though it would be even better if I like both), and that is not what the whole series is about. Then, even in that instance, I only like it if there is a good chance he will choose the one who I want him to be with. I am just petty like that. |
| I like triangles and love. Therefore, by the pythagorean algorithim, I like love triangels. |
 |
| I prefer rom/com funny ones drama filled ones I'm really not into to much |

GlaringDream said: I really love true love triangles though where it's like Person A likes person B who likes person C (or more) but... A------>B------>C is a love line :U |
| I do. Love triangles are deceitful. Really dont like it. But sometimes it's not because they want to. |
| ... |
| Depends on how obvious they make the real pairing, and how I feel about it. For example, I dropped Infinite Stratos Season 1 on the episode before the last one, just because I [finally] realized Charlotte wasn't the girl he was going to get. |
  |
| I hate that stuff... |
 |
| No. I hate it when its wrongly executed. That's all. |

| I hate male-male-female love triangles. Female-female-male is okay. Just the way it is. Love squares or bigger are also acceptable |
 |
| Lots of people dislike it and for the life of me I don't know why. If executed well, why not :) |

obachan said: a love triangle is the easy way to please young boys/girls who don't know what real love is :'( Let's be honest - the entire romance genre, outside of a few outliers, is unrealistic wish fulfillment for people that don't know or haven't experienced real love. That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't enjoyable or that it's bad. |

| Not really. If used nicely I might even really like it. A lot of anime would be quite painful to watch if I were to hate them. |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |

Not a debate, just adding to your statement :) I agree - and interestingly enough, "realism" when it comes to romance in anime doesn't always mean it needs to be in a school / real life setting and follow close to reality. I would herald Spice & Wolf as a "natural" or "realistic" feeling romance just because of the interactions between Holo and Kraft. |

I would herald Spice & Wolf as a "natural" or "realistic" feeling romance just because of the interactions between Holo and Kraft. I completely agree. The emotion I felt during that show was real and plotted. It wasn't far-fetched by any means. PS. I'm still having a hard time listening to the OP of season 1 without all that nostalgia hitting me like a train. |

| Love triangles are pretty damn cliche and predictable. But, if it is handled very well and the drama works with it, I'm into it. StrawberryRain said: After watching Nagi no Asukara, all i can say is bring on the love octagons!! xD That's harem. Nah, there are just few harem animes that this trope is working well. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I'm fine with it if the "center" is a female. Actually, I also don't mind reverse harem. |
| I HATE love triangles, they are stressful, annoying, loaded with misunderstandings, and I usually end up stopping anime with them. Rumbling Hearts was the only one I finished, and enjoyed even though I hated the ending. |

| I don't mind a love triangle, since I do like a lot of Romance anime. Love triangles happen in real life. |
