| Do you enjoy watching the common love triangle tropes that you'll see in romance drama or harem etc. shows? Personally, I don't really like triangles all that much because if my best girl doesn't win then I'll be sad. What are your thoughts about triangles? Do you love them, hate them, or have a different opinion about it? |
| it creates controversy and as they say controversy equals ratings but personally i hate it too why cannot they just make a harem ending?  |
| I hate it most of the time because the relationships feel forced as hell, not to mention they tend to rely heavily on absurd contrivances in order to create drama. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| I dont like that. Almost every time it ends up with one very sad heartbroken lesbian.And that makes me fucking furies! To much drama often piss me off!! I want my angels to be happy , Therefor triangles are noting I in general enjoy But there are some exceptions Kashimashi girl meets girl is one of them But that is a rare case ,Often I cant stand triangle drama!!  |

| Love triangles themselves don't bother me if the characters themselves are interesting. A good love triangle (to me) also won't be an isolated self-contained sub-plot, but well integrated into the overall conflict driving the story, giving it another layer of depth and/or complexity. If you're getting bored of some literary device or narrative tool, that doesn't mean the tool itself is flawed or even overdone. It means you've consumed an ass-ton of anime, but are too lazy/uncreative to write your own anime with something new, so instead you come to forums and make a veiled brag about your hours of viewed anime under the pretext of being jaded. |
| I don't really like them all too much. Almost all the time it's obvious who's gonna win and it's usually the 1st girl/guy or the one who made the biggest impact early on. Most of the time though they're the worse option. Most of the time it really ruins what good vibes the show was getting. Classroom Crisis is one that was completely killed by the sudden introduction of a love triangle at the very end There's only a very few amount of shows that tried to go the unique route with love triangle conclusions, but they still manage to pick worst girl anyways lol cough Anthem of the Heart cough |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I like messy triangles, with very heavy themes. If there is going to be a love triangle, make it brutal. Otherwise you won't get me to care who gets chosen in the end. Intrigue, violence, conflict, wicked plots and betrayal is what would satisfy me. |
 |
| Love triangles usually make me want to pull my hair out. |
| I'd rather it just be about two in love...unless all three of the characters are like best friends and the writing's really good. Then you can have an OT3. xD |

Peaceful_Critic said: From the love triangles I know(i.e Peach Girl, Baka no Test, Vampire Knights, and Fruits Basket), I tend to notice is that a lot of them have the two characters highly contrasting each other. Yep, this trope is called Red Oni/Blue Oni. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedOniBlueOni I'm normally on the Red Oni's team...though there are exceptions. |
|
| ^I didn't know A LOT of things before finding TV Tropes. xD |

I've always known it as Betty and Veronica... https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BettyAndVeronica I suppose either one works though. |
| I usually dislike them since the boy/girl I like never wins in the end, the winners are always the ones who abuse the MC the most because that's "development" apparently. I dislike it even further when the MC has mutual feelings for someone but then ends up with another person. I prefer when there's only one love interest right from the beginning. |

Agreed, I hate seeing characters that have acted like a bitch towards the MC but still end up getting together with him. For instance in Neon Genesis Evangelion, for some reason the MC ends up with Asuka, when him and Rei both share mutual feelings. |

| I personally like love triangles and dare say it is one of my favorite genres in animes. All the drama involved makes the love triangle even better, I know it kind of makes me feel brutally emotional and sometimes I get to be sad or feel somewhat depressive for no reason after finishing an dramatic anime, but I like it this void. Yeah...maybe I am a masochist lol |
 |
| I don't hate those triangles, but I don't especially enjoy them either. In almost every case the drama surrounding it isn't fun to follow, the whole thing feels somewhat unrealistic and one character is in one way or the other ending up with a broken heart. ( ._.) If it's the chara I cheered on and shipped, I'm going to be sad. |
 |
| I'm a literal sucker for those, even when they hurt me and scar me for life.Usually, I stick to a certain ship and turn into an emotional mess when they even SLIGHTLY seem like they're parting, even for a few episodes. |
 |
| Love triangles create some spice but it makes me sad when someone loses in the end ... |
| No I hate them, it's always the same shit. |
 |
| Not really, its usually the same thing and in the end of the love triangle, at least one heart will always be broken. |
ええ、私はそこにいてそれをやった  |
| No real big issue with them, except that they give fans false hope like Yui fans in oregairu. |

Nick-Knight said: Shirou x Archer x Rin is the only love triangle I stick to. whats the name of the manga/anime plss? I actually thought love triangles were more popular, its clearly not the case though lol |
| |
| I'm not wild about a love triangle. A love dodecahedron, on the other hand... |
| The execution needs to be close to perfect and not prolonged until the end of the series, then it's ok to me. On all the other cases, it's annoying as fuck. It should be just a small/quick part of the plot and not the main part of it, all the animes that I've seen and did it like I said, gave a pretty satisfying narrative. |

 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |
