Line 32:
* ''[[Love Hina]]'': Naru and Keitaro have several of these, always interrupted by their friends.
* There's at least three of these between Sachie and Rakuto in every volume of ''[[Wild Ones]]''. It gets frustrating after a bit.
* Similarly, any chance for Ranma and Akane in ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* ''[[Pretty Cure]]''
** [[Genki Girl|Nozomi]] and [[Hot for Student|Coco]] in ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]'' were interrupted by [[Bratty Half-Pint|Milk]]'s sudden appearance.
** Later, in the most infuriating event in ''Pretty Cure'' history, their real [[First Kiss]] would be interrupted by... [[Dancing Theme|Ganbalance de Dance]].
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!|Tenchi Muyo]]''
Line 45:
** In the last episode, Mai and Yuuichi are about to kiss when Mai stops, having noticed that [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Shiho]] and several of Mai's friends are watching them.
** In ''[[Mai-Otome Zwei]]'', Akane and Kazuya are about to kiss when Mahya pops up and tells them they are not to be within three meters of each other
* In ''[[Rosario
* ''[[Chobits]]'': After Hideki finally finds Chii, she walks over to him, glad that he's back with her again and attempts to kis him. She is instantly interrupted by becoming unconcious.
* ''[[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.]]
Line 56:
* {{spoiler|Hamel and Flute}} in a late chapter of ''[[Violinist of Hameln]]''. They're ''finally'' about to kiss when [[Big Bad|Chestra]], [[Moment Killer]] extraordinaire, sets off an extremely untimely earthquake.
* Happens several times in ''[[Shuffle]]''
** The first is with Rin and {{spoiler|Sia}}: When they get separated from their friends during the [[Beach Episode]], they act like they've crossed into another world where they're alone and go for the kiss. Hilarious in that Primula walks behind them looking for seashells; both parties ignore each other's presence.
** The second instance is when Rin walks {{spoiler|Asa}} home after the latter twisted her ankle. Both are sitting on her bed, and Rin is getting teased. When the poor girl stands up, she trips and falls on Rin, pinning him to the bed. She leans in for the kiss, but her mother comes home and goes up to the room; when she opens the door, we see the two separated, with Rin sitting at the desk (as is, of course, proper for a gentleman).
* In the manga ''[[Cherry Juice]]'', this happens quite often between the [[Not Blood Related]] [[Brother-Sister Incest|Brother/Sister]] pair of Minami and Otome.
* Happens a few times in ''[[Ai Kora]]''. In chapter 77, for example, Yukari (in disguise, and under her gaming alias Fantazma) orders Maeda to give her a kiss as penalty for losing her gaming challenge, but the two are stopped by a horde of jealous fanboys.
* ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama|Kaichou wa Maid Sama]]'': So many times...
Line 117:
* In ''[[Anastasia]]'', Dmitri almost kisses Anya, but he pulls away for some unfathomable reason.
* ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'': "Flint, you have a call, Flint, you have a call!"
* Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon in ''[[Batman and Mister Freeze Sub Zero]]'', though in this case it wouldn't have been their first kiss.
* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'': Aladdin and Jasmine almost kiss in his hideaway before they're interrupted by the palace guards. This happens a lot for these two; in the first movie alone their lips almost connect more times than they actually do!
* The first time Flynn and Rapunzel nearly kiss in ''[[Tangled]]'', Flynn gets distracted by seeing {{spoiler|his former partners-in-crime}} out of the corner of his eye and pulls away. The second time was when Flynn {{spoiler|was dying}} and in order to save Rapunzel from Mother Gothel, he {{spoiler|pulled her close enough for him to [[Traumatic Haircut|cut her magical hair]].}}
* In ''[[The Animatrix]]'', duing a [[Slap Slap Kiss|training battle between]] [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|Jue and Thaddeus]], they [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h5YmbhpI5c#t=2m40s lean forward to kiss], only for [[Moment Killer|an alarm to sound]], alerting them that Sentinels are arriving.
* ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'' has the title character and the Prince leaning forward for a kiss after their [[Dance of Romance]], only for the bell to ring for midnight, signalling to Cinderella that she had to leave before the spell breaks.
* In [[Rio]], following a [[Dance of Romance]], Blu and Jewel almost kiss, until they are interrupted by invading marmosets.
Line 128:
* This is a genre standard in [[Bollywood]] films. Up until very recently, kissing in movies was censored in India (it is still seen as racy), so filmmakers perfected the art of showing the leads caressing with lips oh-so-close to each other. (This is especially common in dance numbers.) Note that, unlike in other instances of this trope, an actual kiss (or more) is usually implied to have taken place.
* Averted in ''2012'': Dr. Heimsley and Laura are about to kiss when they are interrupted by a broadcast. They ignore it and continue their business.
** Done in ''[[Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham]]'' during the number "Yeh Ladka Hai Allah".
* Happens in ''[[Dragnet]]'' (the 1987 movie) twice with Joe Friday and Connie Swail.
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'': Happens twice between Dolores and Eddie, while in the movie theater and toward the end of the movie after reading the will, when Roger intervenes.
Line 217:
* ''[[Firefly]]'' in the episode "Objects in Space": It's taken [[The Stoic|Simon]] and [[Genki Girl|Kaylee]] [[Will They or Won't They?|the whole series]] to reach that moment. They're having a heart-to-heart. They're [[Held Gaze|staring]] into each other's eyes. They're inching closer. His hand starts to reach out to caress her cheek. They lean in for the kiss. [[Moment Killer|And then Book walks into them]].
{{quote|'''[[DVD Commentary|Joss Whedon]]:''' Oh, thank you very much, Book. Way to ruin the kiss!}}
* Played darkly and subtlely in ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]''. Guy of Gisborne has just proposed to Marian and been accepted. He moves in for a kiss, but she looks tearful and uncertain, and both turn their heads away fractionally. (Reasons being that he's just threatened her with execution after accusing her of being in cahoots with Robin over a missing necklace. She proves him wrong by producing it - Robin has just passed it to her through the window, and is privy to everything that goes on inside the room).
* ''[[Coupling]]'''s walking relationship-dictionary Jeff Murdoch gives us the self-explanatory phrase "Nose Avoidance Tilting".
* ''[[General Hospital]]'''s Sonny and Carly's first non-hate kiss after the incredibly awkward sex talk with Emily and Juan. They get thisclose and Sonny's phone rings.
* ''[[Power Rangers Time Force]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wBIgwvybaY Wes and Jen]. "Damn phone", indeed.
Line 247:
** 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 [[PlayStation]] game.
* A "deleted scenes" example here: at the end of ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star
* 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}}
Line 273:
* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]''
** Gwen and Kevin have an Almost Kiss in the episode "Darkstar Rising", interruped by the Highbreed Commander busting through the wall.
** [[Running Gag|Well,that happened a lot of times already...]] Two of the many Almost Kiss moments happened in "The Transmogrification of Eunice" (Ben and Eunice, of course) and "Revenge of the Swarm" (Ben and Elena).
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'': In episode "Routine", Yumi's and Ulrich's [[First Kiss]] after Ulrich saves her from falling into the Digital Sea is interrupted when Aelita resets time.
* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has several:
