Almost Kiss: Difference between revisions

Line 49:

* ''[[Detective Conan]]'': Takagi and Sato, so many times. Finally resolved when Takagi is in the hospital.

* [[Les Yay|Konoka and Setsuna]] in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has one of these when Setsuna found her resolve to kiss the girl through a (admittedly questionable) [[Confessional]]. Maybe a subversion since it was a pactio, of which the (somewhat) unromantic nature of was partially the cause of Setsuna's resolve and the fact that there was no actual build-up since we're shown this from Asuna's (the interrupter) perspective; [[Ken Akamatsu|Akamatsu]] is going to need several volumes to facilitate a ''proper'' pactio for the two in order to satisfy the legions of KonoSetsu [[Shipping|shippers]]. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|Until chapter 252.]]

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'', Kaname almost kisses Sôsuke while he is asleep (after she finishes cutting his hair), and she has a hard time resisting planting one on him. However, she restrains herself [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|knowing it would be wrong to take advantage of him in his sleep]], and instead [[Tsundere|dunks his head in water]].

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Kaname almost kisses Sôsuke while he is asleep (after she finishes cutting his hair), and she has a hard time resisting planting one on him. However, she restrains herself [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|knowing it would be wrong to take advantage of him in his sleep]], and instead [[Tsundere|dunks his head in water]].

* [[Running Gag]] in ''[[Eureka Seven]]''. The only times Renton gets to actually kiss Eureka are {{spoiler|in the final episode}}. Not that he isn't often tempted or doesn't try...

* Both episodes 41 and 42 of ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', Sakura and Syaoran being interrupted both times by the highly inopportune appearance of a Clow Card.

Line 204:

* Obnoxiously overused in the [[CBS]] ''[[Beauty and the Beast (TV series)|Beauty and The Beast]]'' television show from the late '80s. In practically every episode Vincent and Catherine start to engage in a kiss, but at the last moment they always wince and just hug each other instead. After a while, it didn't feel like "the characters always come to the realization that their love is not possible," so much as [[Executive Meddling|"the producers were afraid of outcries of bestiality."]] When he finally did kiss her, {{spoiler|''it was after she was dead''}}. Arrgghhh!

* In the British comedy ''[[Spaced]]'', Tim and Daisy have one of these during a conversation about how things "happen when you least expect it" after getting locked out of their flat. They are interrupted by their dog who has just happened to have found Tim's keys lying on the curb and drops them at his feet.

* Sadie and Ben in the Canadian show, ''[[Naturally Sadie]]'', had a total of eleven almost kisses, and when they finally did kiss, it is one of two possible scenarios and it is never made clear which one happened.

* ''[[Torchwood]]''

** This happens in the episode "Captain Jack Harkness". Jack and {{spoiler|the real Jack Harkness}} almost kiss, but stop when the rift suddenly opens. However, subverted when {{spoiler|Jack runs back and kisses the real Jack anyway}}.

Line 246:

** Jak gets back at Daxter by {{spoiler|interrupting his kiss with Tess}} at the end of ''[[Jak 3]]''.

** Subverted at the end of ''Jak X'' when Daxter interrupts Jak {{spoiler|and Keira yet again, only to continue, "Will ya kiss her already! Sheesh!"}}

* The remake of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', ''The Twin Snakes'', has Meryl and Snake almost kiss after the fight with Liquid; unfortunately they were interrupted by a codec call from Otacon. This isn't present in the original [[~~Play Station~~]] game.

* A "deleted scenes" example here: at the end of ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]] Adventures'', Krystal, the love interest of Fox McCloud comes aboard the team's ship. Originally, Fox would have offered her a place on the team, with her replying she would only do so if he would kiss her. The rumored reason for this scene not happening is that Rare's animators couldn't convincingly portray the kiss (this is somewhat similar to the ''Chicken Run'' example). Unused audio of this scene can be found here; [http://files.krystalarchive.com/ka/audio/adventuresVoice/55-KP1_5-IfYoullKissMe.mp3\]

* A version sort of happens in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]''as although they were never going to kiss, to the player it looks like they will. Near the start of the game after Link has {{spoiler|won the Annual Bird Flight Ceremomy and has been given the sailcloth}}, Zelda says that, in what seems like an embarrased way, that there is "something else that they are supposed to do at the end of the ceremony...". Link's expression at this, and the opinions the player is given on how to reply ("Uh...", "Oh Oh!", "Hell Yeah!") it's extremely heavily implied they are going to kiss. {{spoiler|Just before it looks like Zelda is going to kiss Link, she instead turns him around and pushes him of the each of the statue they are standing on as part of the final test of the ceremony}}
