Do you dislike love polygon or love triangle anime for the sole reason that there is always a person who ends up losing in love battle or compromise her/his love for another person? I feel like everything in love polygon or love triangle anime is okay until the mc ends up with a person end of the series breaking the other(s) person heart that loves him/her. So, I always feel pity for the person who's heart is broken for that sole reason I dislike love polygon or love triangle anime

Not really, actually I think that’s one of the interesting parts of this kind of show.

I love it when it is used to create multiple couple.

I don't like it if it's harem or overextended/overstayed the welcome.

If it's Girls Love, then I'm fine with that.

Electric Soldier Porygon is still a banned Pokemon episode, so I guess people really do hate polygons...

if I understand the meaning of the term, it's not a harem. Nor is it a series of individual love stories like Amagami SS (omnibus format).

Love polygon usually implies multiple couples and various love interests sometimes overlapping in love triangles.

I haven't seen a lot of shows like that. Nagi no Asu kara is the purest example I can think of. I thought it was pretty good but not great. it was kind of annoying with way too many characters making a big fucking deal and bursting into tears over the slightest little thing.

Generally dislike love polygons and Triangles. Toradora tired and bored me a lot. But under certain conditions I don't mind them e.g Oregairu. But I absolutely hate harem ends.

Mostly, it's because when I like both the female mc and the mc pick character that I hate it.

But I do have favorite Love Polygon anime, one of them is Kuzu no Honkai.

I don't think that genre is inherently better or worse than standard romance, but for some reason all of my favorite romance anime are love polygons. And feeling pity for the unchosen one isn't an issue, it may even be a plus if done well.

Essentially love polygon's are a tiring exercise when executed poorly, if a love polygon is comprised of one female/male character and all the other characters are the opposite gender it's mostly guaranteed to be poorly written, there are of course exceptions. Like the least you could do is add another female/male character in there somewhere. Anyway I think that in most boring love polygons the winners are the characters that don't end up with the main character.

It can be done well, but most of the time however it's made as generic and boring as possible.

I don't get it why people are bringing harem in love polygon anime. Anyway I guess people watch love polygon anime objectively so I guess the unchosen one doesn't matter to them at all. I also watch objectively all the time but watching oregairu made me dislike love polygon because I didn't like Hikigaya ending with Yukinoshita. Cause I felt like Yuigahama would be better for him even though I knew Yukinoshita is the better plotwise. Well I guess that doesn't matter now at all.

I hate it because most MCs are masochists and pick up the worst girl/boy who abuses them the most throughout the series.

No, because they're shit way more often than not. Vast majority of love triangles are either developed through stupid misunderstandings or just completely ignoring the view of the one invovled in the triangle in the first place. Not to mention a lot of times the one who does win is usually the one who's a more walking red flag. Especially in shoujo/josei, it unironically plays into the "girls only choose the douchebags" schlick, but then tries to justify it by making the nice guy secretly is an asshole or smth like "haha bet you didn't see that coming!" And then shounen where they somehow manage to pick the girl that has the least chemistry with the ML because reasons


when you have love triangle moments like in Ase to Sekken on the other hand, then ya it isn't too bad, because no one is acting like a braindead moron. I mean sure there's the feelsbadman aspect for the losing girl, but also happy that things ended nicely

Yes. Because none of them become a poly relationship. So default. It's horrid. Plus it's about 10x more dramatic then regular romance and I just can't stomach that.
