-In my Aug. '11 Crunchyroll thread called "The point of all that evidence is", chibihime wrote: Quote: It doesn't have to be listed as "romance" for there to be couples IN IT. Full Metal Alchemist isn't listed as "romance" either but one so-called "fan-girl" pairing not only get together, they get married and have children!

There are two types of romances in anime. The first type is the in-your-face with confessions and/or dramatic kissing or hugging. The second type is much more subtle and not so in your face, never a kiss but possibly a hug and words like "we're always gonna be together" or "I'm here for you" or something like that.

If the anime in question does not have romance listed as its gender, it is likely to have "the second type" romance somewhere in it. UNLESS the creator comes out and says, "No, there is no romance in this" like how ONE PIECE's author did. I think having a lead guy and lead girl is almost like setting yourself up for what's become almost like a literature/fiction rule: The two should either end up together (even if the creators said that there wouldn't be romance between the lead guy/girl).

There are essentially two forms of romance in anime genre speaking: there are those where romance is a main plot or supporting main plot (like in many shoujo series and harem genres) and then when it is a secondary side plot (like Shinji and Asuka's relationship in Evangelion or in various shounen action shows).

I concluded that a way to tell whether romance is a main or side plot is this: Romance in the main plot will emphasize main two characters having a strong and often childhood connection and emphasizes music in the OP/ED (like the 1st OP for Fairy Tail 2014) to display it.

Possible explanations: Milking the series with this that possibly trolls fans in thinking it'll happen. Next, there's doing for it to put in fan works. Then, if it's based off on a manga/LN that hasn't yet reached it's final volume which might mean the anime writers might assume that the manga/LN creators are gearing toward the lead guy/girl getting shipped or potentially troll the fans into thinking that but it doesn't happen.

Why do you think the writers might do a ship tease that the lead guy gets with the lead girl but they actually don't? For clarification, I'm referring mainly to Lead Girl A which is my preferred ship but Lead Girl B I sometimes ship with the lead guy. An example of Lead Girl A/B would be Xam'd: Lost Memories' Nakiami and Haru, respectively.

Finally, AnimeNation's AskJohn has a June 26, 2002 entry called "Ask John: Why Do Lovers in Anime Never Stay Together?"

Things can also get heated when bringing subs vs. dubs. With my shipping points, I've made it a point to state it as my opinion and not fact because when you try to state your view as though it's fact, you could end up getting proved wrong. Those that bring up points arguing of a harem ending have a equal weight in their views as those that think Lala/Haruna could be the final girl.

A thing about harem series is that when you have multiple girls after a guy, when you see the relationships each girl has with a guy, that's where a shipping discussion may also be made. That is, the relationship each girl has with the guy can affect which girl fans would prefer the guy to be with.

-If I was Rito, even if Haruna was who I had the strongest feelings for, a girl close to me that saved my life would have me reconsider I really feel about Haruna.
