Hoppy, nah, I didn't mean this. I do know that there are animes with kisses and suff but I want something of a higher level.

i feel the same way with clannad! i was just waiting for the kiss that never came! and i think they do it on purpose to keep us on our feet :o


Clannad is the anime equivalent of blue balls
they went farther than a kiss why do you care, a simple"i love you" is way better than a kiss is anyhow
and if you really are so uneasy about the lack of kissing in clannad then the manga has them kiss ans so does the game

Ehh? I actually liked the fact that there was never a kiss scene in Clannad. It made me like/appreciate their relationship more than I might have otherwise. The lack of a kiss scene added extra innocence and purity to it, and I admire the show for being able to portray their relationship so well without one.


So, yeah, when it comes to Clannad, I don't think that they needed a kiss scene. What type of anime do you think kiss scenes should be in? . 3 . Ones which are primarily romance?
I dunno, I used to get kinda pissed whenever one of the shoujo romances I watched never had a kiss scene. Ouran or Skip Beat or something. Otherwise, I don't care.

Love and Romance is not defined by kissing. Love between a couple is strong due to the feelings for one another; that one cares for another. Kissing is a mere action and result of love and it is not necessary in animes such as Clannad. I think the fact that there isn't kissing in Clannad only makes the bond between Nagisa and Tomoya more powerful in that the audience could feel the love between the two even though they never showed much physical interaction between the two.

I'm so used to no kiss scenes in most animes I don't even realize if there isn't one.

Depending on what type of anime your watching there can be a cute and sweet kiss scene or there can be a complete make out scene where they show the tongues and everything.

I don't think no kissing makes the romance any worse but in ecchi anime i feel like the kissing scene doesn't progress any romance either.

kissing is nice and all but just the character getting together is good enough for me as long as we see them do it, granted after watching about 10 anime without kiss scenes when i finally got to martian successor nadesico i ended up rewinding that kiss like 4 times in a row, both becaus ei loved the pairing and it took forever to ahppen and that it was the first kiss

but even then them confessing was good enough, the kiss was just a extra iceing to the cake, it wouldnt have taken away form the show in the least bit

I agree even in Ouran they didn't kiss once and I didn't mind in the least.

only one though, but we didn't get to see the kiss too :c.

I still love Clannad alot though. The whole anime was moving. I was just moved. I put everything related to Clannad a 10/10. That's how good it was to me even without a kiss :/

yah, that was a good example of a non-kiss but still satisfying, another one is tale sof the abyss(game) they never kiss, nor do they say i love you.....well one of them does and the other says it in his journel but you didnt feel jipped at all at a lack of a kiss

really just them getting together is good enough for me

Its not always needed to show kissing when there is romance.


In what case exactly would this be true?

Kissing is seen as something very important in romance for a reason. It's considered a culmination of a long journey between two people. Just like in real life. People will never go out with other people without kissing and or sex, unless they are Asexual of course.

Can't really say Im bothered the fact there was no kiss in Clannad and especially in Spice and Wolf, usually it's necessary for a romance to show this kind of affection but other times I can let it slide...

Also how did I end up in an 11 years old forum?

Because the tease holds the audience hostage.

You have to ask, what is the purpose of romance in fiction. Either it is a goal to be achieved, a source of grief, or a source of conflict.

Because the Japanese are very private when it comes to relationships some might call it sexually repressed. Even their porn is censored.
