Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Love At First Sight in Western Animation include:

  • The first time Berry lays eyes on Bloo in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends she goes wide-eyed and sees Bishie Sparkles around him. Thus starts her Yandereriffic love for him.
  • It's implied that Aang fell for Katara at first sight in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
    • And Sokka for Yue, though that may very well have been mutual.
  • The Legend of Korra, has Tall, Dark and Snarky Mako fall hard for Uptown Girl Asami within seconds of their Crash Into Hello, as communicated by cartoon heart bubbles.
  • In The Raccoons, Bert instantly falls for Lisa the instant he sees her. However, when he makes his big play professing his love, Lisa, caught off guard of a new friend going way too fast, unsuccessfully tries to gently cool his romantic aspiration for someone he just met. However, when she returns home, troubled at upsetting Bert, writes an affectionate letter later which lifts his spirits with the implied promise of a relationship that can develop in its own time.
  • Kim Possible on Eric and Eric on Kim Possible in The Movie. Well, she needed anyone except Ron (because of the rules) and Eric was a droid made to let Kim fall in love with him.
  • Code Lyoko: Heavily implied with William, who shows a keen interest in Yumi from the first day he knew her, and later claims that he's always been in love with her.

Sissi: Have you been crazy about Yumi for a long time?
William: Forever.
Sissi: You've only been here for a couple of months!
William: Don't you believe in destiny with a capital D? Two people who have never met, but are made for each other?

Apu: Manjula and I have not seen each other for 20 years. Two people cannot fall in love, sight unseen.
Moe: Hang on there. I'm counting in that.

  • On Jimmy Two-Shoes, Beezy and Saffi fall in love the moment they see each other.
  • Happens when Ferb sees Vanessa for the first time in Phineas and Ferb. Isabella to Phineas (although we don't know when it happened) is possibly the same case.
  • One of the Ork bikers asks this to Velma in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated after she fixes one of their bikes. Velma, being the Deadpan Snarker, bluntly tells him that she doesn't find him attractive.
  • First time Helga truly meets Arnold at the age of three outside the Pre-K as he holds an umbrella over her head on Hey Arnold!. However, justified as she puts all of her emotions and neglective parent's behavior into this one act of kindness. Word of God, however, states that they're meant to be.
    • In "Arnold Visits Arnie" during Arnold's Nightmare Sequence Lulu falls in love with Arnold at first sight and so does Hilda with Arnie.
  • My Life as a Teenage Robot: One-shot villain Little Acorn in the episode "Puppet Bride", who falls in love with Jenny at first sight (he sees hearts and sparkles around her upon seeing her) and tries to force her to become his bride.
  • Pepe Le Pew often falls in love at first sight with another animal so long as they have a white stripe down their back, most often towards Penelope Pussycat.
    • And Fifi La Fume of Tiny Toon Adventures often did this to animals of the male variety, most notably to Furrball in the episode "Aroma Amore". Furrball himself seems to experience this upon meeting Fifi, but completely loses interest upon seeing her skunk stripe and picking up her scent.
  • KaBlam!: Henry for Dawn, a one-shot character from the episode "A Nut In Every Bite". Dawn is the granddaughter of Mr. Stockdale, who comes from Switzerland to visit the show. Henry falls for her almost immediately (much to June's dismay), but she doesn't quite share the love. However, he does manage to charm her... by hurting himself. At the end of the episode, Dawn goes back to Switzerland, but by this point Henry is actually relieved (he's hurt himself so much he's covered in casts and bandages, and bound to a wheelchair).
  • In the 2012 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Donatello's heart starts throbbing the first time he sees April; unfortunately, the first time she sees him, she screams. Not coincidentally, this is also the first time in this version where the Turtles have to rescue her.
