No romance? you still can shipped the pairings you like.
Persona 4 doesn't have romance and yet I still shipped.

I don't mind that the romance is removed in Rinne no Lagrange, it's not really suited for such anyway but Moretsu oh dear I hope there aren't novel readers who read this here, they won't like their yuri removed, I'm neutral on the romance removed from Moretsu Pirates.

I'm suprised at that alone, i never expected any romance from any of these series as there were no potential male partners for protagonists.

This is EXACTLY the reason why romance was needed and would've been awesome!

I'll forgive no romance as long as the story is interesting.

i'm more interested in the story anyway.

NOOOOO

"Rinne no Largrange" was PERFECT FOR ROMANCE!!

3 male pilots x 3 female pilots!! It fit so well!! They even had personalities that would mix well DAMN!!

Red head dude = a hot head just like Madoka

Blonde dude = Calm yet not calm just like Lan

Blue haired dude = He looks responsible while Megumi "Megaboobies" acts childish YIN AND YANG!!

Trust me. Enemies becoming love interest is the BEST classical romance scenario!!! Im so pissed!!!

Morestu Pirates.....Yuri romance?

Agree NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

It's nice to see a director trying to experiment a bit more instead of going with the obvious route all the time. A good story must have romance? I call it nonsense. Besides, even if there are advantages, poorly written romance (which is the rule) can ruin it all. By the way, you guys haven't even read the original novel for Moretsu Pirates, have you? Then how can you say it ruins anything?

I don't really care, as long as I have enjoyable stories I give a damn about romance in them...

They can use the time left to focus in other things...

Now I can begin watching Moretsu Pirates without worrying about it having ecchi/yuri or something among the lines...

I'm kinda glad, I don't see where any romance could fit into this anime, I'm guessing the romance in the original novels were very crow barred in because this is the guy who directed the Nadesico series and cat soup so he knows his stuff... He also did The Ninja Scroll TV series so yeah... I still think this is a good call for him.

If he had said this at the end I wouldn't have minded, but now, there is going to be zero even pretended romantic interest in these shows. Not that I expected much in Bodacious but still, taking away the possibility 100%, I don't approve.

As for Mouretsu, there was no chance of real yuri romance anyway. Anime almost never does that, sadly. As long as Chiaki and Marika remain totally shippable, that's about all I ever expected. I certainly didn't expect an explicit romance between them, as amazing as that would be.

Anime sucks for yuri fans, always has. We take what we can get. I'll put the goggles on for Mouretsu if need be - wouldn't be the first time for damn sure, nor the last. Fandom will fill in the rest.

This is probably a very good point.

I would have preferred to not hear this announcement at all, though. At least then I wouldn't finish the shows knowing there was originally supposed to be something more. That would be a lot easier to accept.

Lol, at some of these replies. Romance, as much as I generally like it, does not make or break a show. Writing, characters, and depending on the series, plot does.

Romance tends to cause more problems in a story when it's shoehorned in, anyway.

Then again nearly every popular show, movie, and book in existence has some form of romance, no matter how good or bad it is. It's almost like crack for people; they HAVE to have it all the time.

I am totally okay with this. In fact, I'm happy Sato has decided to do this.

Lagrange and Mouretsu are my two favourite series this season. If this means more action, sci-fi, awesome mecha and
then I'm all for it. Let's face it, not every anime with a female lead has to be some yuri otaku fantasy, and neither does every anime with a guy and a girl with the appropriate sexual organs have to end with a happily married couple mashing their bits together. Anime is absolutely woeful with romance sometimes, and any news that points towards my favourite shows not developing into a badly written soap opera down the line is good news indeed.

I look forward to more badass stuff from these series indeed, especially Lagrange!

guys i love romance just as much as the next guy but it isnt that big a deal that there isnt any

i mean look at gintama, that doesnt have romance in the slightest and its still great and the relationships are great despite not being romantic

that's good thing
second one will be fact that discussions about episodes won't be about: She should choose him or him
isn't it great?

so it will be plot and action now... I'm for it
and changes in source material - well I didn't read so I don't care :)

As far as I'm concerned,

Plot > Cheesy tacked-on romances that only serve to attract the brainless hormone-fueled teenagers

So instead of having 24 minutes of two characters slobbering over each other, falling into/accidentally grabbing breasts, and running into one another in various states of undress but ultimately getting fucking nowhere in their relationship we can have actual plot progression?


Dear god.

Yup good decision. Have to get rid of facepalming romance. Romance is only good when done right. If done slightly wrong, it's horrible.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.
