What are your thoughts on kissing scenes in anime?

Do you like or dislike them? If you like them, do you have a favorite?

Do you prefer when kissing is shown or implied (off-screen)?

Of the anime I've seen and remember, White Album 2 and Toradora probably had the best kissing scenes. What made them standout to me was how intimate they were. They weren't "implied" (I hate that), and the emotions between the characters felt genuine.

I don't like kissing scenes in Anime. Seeing people kissing, both in Anime and live action, is disgusting to me, and makes me want to vomit.

If it's just a peck, or only lasts for a second, it's okay, but any longer than that, and I'll be disturbed.

Lol, why?

So much in anime is fetishized. Personally, I'd just like to see more normal relationships.

I'm not sure I can explain the reasons thoroughly. I've always found it disturbing to see people making out.

I mean, I dated a girl in high school, and I made out with her, but I still didn't like seeing other people doing it.

I like kissing scenes in anime especially in a way that both of them were strangers at first, then developed to the point wherein they kiss. I feel like that is a turning point for the characters themselves. I would prefer them shown just like in Steins;Gate and Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches. I'm a sucker for romance so I hate implied kiss scenes.

I think they're awesome. Much better than random panty shots and "accidental" boob grabs. I definitely prefer it when it's shown, but I'm sure you could imply it and make it work.

random kissing scenes are cute, but when there is a build up and you get to know the characters and it's like executed well, scenes like that can be sooo heartwarming.

I liked the first kiss in Future Diary. It has something to do with how the show didn't build up to it. It happened early. It's pretty odd.

I don't get the point of implied or off-screen kisses. In an anime I'm watching, the camera cut to the couple's feet when they kissed. Why...

I think it's so the story isn't focused on the romance? Or sometimes the implied/unseen kisses are ones where the protagonist is having an affair.

Cutting away from sinful kisses kinda makes sense; that works as a dramatic device. But I've seen "romance" anime where it just randomly cuts away from the kiss, or it angles the shots so you can't see their lips make contact.

I think they are fine if done normally.

Not so great if the show makes too much of a big deal out of it, or if in a rom-com it's teased all the way til the end but never actually happen.

If the kissing scene has something to do with build up of the characters or story then yes.Like White Album 2 for example. But if it`s for fanservice then no.

There's another cutaway. It makes sense in this case though since the characters look 12.

Thanks. It's from a South Korean movie called Dasepo Naughty Girls. The title makes it sound like a porn, but it's actually a comedy / musical.

1. They are meh to amazing, I prefer them more in VN because I like description.

2. I like them best when it's between two in-love characters that I am emotionally invested in. My favorite one is from Toradora

3. Shown and lasts more than a few seconds, fuck cockblocking moments, that shit pisses me off. 10/10 if it's a french kiss ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Really? A simple kiss would have redeemed that anime for me. I found the aloofness of the characters off-putting.

That's one of the things that annoyed me about the Nodame Cantabile sequels when I first saw them. The ups and downs of their relationship are portrayed rather realistically; I just wanted to see a cute wish-fulfillment fantasy. If I saw Paris Hen and Finale again today, I'd probably appreciate them more.
