Let's talk about Light Novel Love Triangles
-
@smashman42 Yeah, the main three of New Life + did remind me of How NOT to Summon's main three excerpt that Shion hasn't shown the interest/dependence on Renya that Shera has with Diablo. But yeah, that's a triangle that I missed completely.
Also,

I just like well written romantic plots. Preferably without the 'You were kind to me one time when we were 5 and we didn't meet again for ten years' trope.
Way overplayed imho. -
@paul-nebeling
I've seen through Volume 5. Lots more sides. -
@paul-nebeling
Between the two series they map better to the girl with the other initial. I.e. Rem to Shion. -

-
@steelblaidd The more the merrier. This should be fun since Diablo has like zero social skills.
-
@steelblaidd I agree with @smashman42. The physical appearances are swapped between the girls. Rona and Rem are somewhat different in both role and personality, although the both were hiding something.
-
@paul-nebeling It IS extremely fun, specially certain scene at the start of volume... 6 I think??I was laughing so hard at that part xD. I'd say his social skills have recently hit zero. They were negative at the start of the series.

At some point he's going to have to expand his response repertoire. Probably about the same time he realizes that he is now that guy in a relationship that he really hates.😈

Well, I've got a new (and somewhat infamous) triangle to watch: Subaru, Emilia and Rem
Is re:Zero a Kadokawa title?
-
@paul-nebeling yes sir it’s a media factory property.
-
@paul-nebeling I want Emilia to win.

Edit: Snipped the spoiler as it was breaking my spoiler
I dislike the shipping war stuff but it is funny watching people flip out about it.
-
@smashman42 personally for me I don’t mind it as sometimes I root for a character. I definitely don’t lose it when people talk smack on the character I picked, but yes I’ve read comments of people just being a little to nutty or sometimes just plain out need help lol.
-
I'm one of those canon pairing type people & just enjoy the characters for who they are. IRL no-one can help who they fall for, they can only decide what they do about it once they do. So people complaining a MC "picked wrong" in fiction is too much self-insert, not enough just enjoy the damn story. If you want it different, there's always fanfics.
-
@smashman42 totally reasonable.
-
Emilia has what Rem will never have! Space Dandy said it best. "Believe in the backside"! xD
(I always ship the wrong side of the triangle, but Rem's fandom is insane, so I don't know if I want to hop on that bandwagon; Emilia has a Marge Simpson nagging vibe to me, although I guess she deserves to be that way when her potential hubby is
).
In Nichijou, do you guys ship Gundere or Mio with Sasahara?
Was anyone on Ichigo's bandwagon in Darling in the Franxx? I feel like Trigger is really tepid with their triangles. The wrong side almost never wins.
-
@terrence nope, I felt like she did deserve an answer tho but she brought not getting an answer on her self and made it worse by sister zoning herself.

I'm actually not watching it, but I did see a spoiler headline from YouTube for the latest episode but no comment from me on that, ha ha.
I was curious about thoughts here about the triangle because Zero 2 gets a really absurd amount of love from anime fans from what I've seen online, and Ichigo gets hate or indifference. I don't think most triangles are like this because most of the time it's the side character who people are rooting for (see Rem vs Emelia). Or maybe that's just me seeing what I want to see and ignoring the sensible fandom, lol. =P

I guess. But the MC sometimes latches onto a girl who gets little development passed the first few eps, while the wrong side of the triangle gets a huge amount of build up before he rejects them.
I've been reading White Album 2, and man, I don't see how anyone can prefer Haruki ends up with Setsuna, at least at this point. She just acts so annoying with her "Don't leave me out of this" attitude. And things only get worse from where I'm at (
is coming up soon since I'm up to the eve of the concert now).
-
@terrence oh well I do recommend you watch it. Personally for me I go with anything original specially when the original source is anime. I love original anime because I can’t spoil myself, doesn’t mean I can’t be let down either (talking Aldnoah.Zero) which also kinda can be used as an example for your reply to @smashman42. Than again it was a political thing. I’d prefer for the princess to end up with any of the two male leads
