Soul Eater has zero romance concerning the main protagonists.

Hopefully the manga would change that

Why on earth would you want to force romance on a show that is not only good without it but better for not having it?

Re: Proper Endings

Air Gear, and Soul Eater.

One wasn't an ending, and the other was a cheap cop out.

And yes, one of the latter things i enjoyed about Soul Eater was that despite the characters having opposite sex weapons, their was little romance or lovey dovey in between. It would utterly ruin it to apply such.

Yeah, but not having any at all would also be a bad idea.

Not really. The manga, and anime went along very well without anything really permanent.

The only real focused one was MedusaxStein and that was literally borderline between insanity, and mind control.

Re: Proper Endings

The only visible romance in the series is between Maka's parents, and right now that appears to be pretty one sided. There might be some between Kim and Jacqueline too, but they aren't big enough characters to explore that.

The case with Air gear just like Kampfer, Umineko, Tsubasa Resivoir Chronicles and others is that the show is designed to advertise for the original product. Watch the anime, get to know the characters then switch over to the manga or VN that continues the story.

Why would I list that if I didn't consider that? In such case that isn't very true by the OVA's Satelight did that they couldn't finish because the manga wasn't finished, but instead picked the highlight points of the manga. Now it is, and it can easily be given a redux.

At the time the original manga ended if it went into the next arc it'd have to cut midway, and go into fillers cause it was so big, and end on an off point. We'd get Kururu, and then the following explanations would've been left in the dark. Air Gear doesn't ride that way, so they pulled it like D.Gray-Man that got to close to its source material.

You're right, he intended to end it after Frieza.

He also intended to it after the Pilaf saga of Dragonball.

The guy changed his mind a lot
