In this article, we will look at a complete list of Love Triangle anime and some love polygons (more than three people involved). Usually, most romance-focused animes have some type of triangle, even if it's small or brief.
A love triangle is a set of interconnected romantic relationships between three people. These anime focus on the trials and tribulations of characters who may, at first, be in love, uninterested, or completely oblivious, as they unravel their feelings, make their choices, and try to win their loved one's heart.

Golden time - Triangle with Memory Loss
Tada Banri is a newly itted student at a private law university in Tokyo. However, due to an accident, he lost all of his memories. In Golden Time we have several triangles from the first episode when the protagonist falls in love at first sight with Kouko who appears as the bride of his friend who doesn't like her.
When he finally manages to win over Kouko, in the meantime we see several couples suffering problems with their feelings, rejections and other triangles. In the case of the main couple, soon a new protagonist named Linda appears, keeping a secret and feelings for Banri.
The anime has a very mature theme as it takes place in university, we even find references to Brazil. An anime from the same creator of Toradora that we also recommend (it has a love triangle and is as famous as Golden Time).
The Pet Girl of Sakurasou
Kanda Sorata is a high school boy who lives in the Sakurasou dormitory, said to be a "dorm for the school's 'problem' students. Sorata meets a strange girl and artist named Shiina Mashiro and sees that he needs to help her get used to the hectic daily life.
In the anime, the love triangle in question is between the protagonist, Shiina Mashiro and her childhood friend Nanami Aoyama. The anime has a very interesting plot involving future, life decisions, romantic feelings, one of the funniest anime I've watched.
There is romantic interest from other protagonists as in the case of the energetic Misaki who is in love with Jin who shows no interest and goes out with other girls, can this be counted as a love triangle too?
Kokoro Connect
This anime tells the story of a group of students who face bizarre situations that involve switching bodies with their classmates, some turning into babies and other strange situations that test the bond of friendship between them.
What seems like an unpleasant supernatural phenomenon leads to an emotional connection between Himeko, Taichi and Iori. The trio begins to learn each other's secrets and feelings, which leads to some complications within the group and a love triangle.
A very fun and exciting anime that doesn't hide behind clichés and a generic plot like the vast majority. A slice of life anime that keeps you hooked from start to finish through its exciting and curious story.
White Album 2
At first, it seems like a generic anime about a school club for music, but the progression of the romance and the love triangle in this anime surprises many. In this anime, the protagonist has to choose between a singer and a famous, wealthy pianist.
This anime brings an absurd sadness at the end, because the protagonist doesn't seem to understand his feelings. The anime also shows what can happen when you don't take action right away when you're inside a triangle.
The soundtrack of the anime is good, despite the number 2, it is not a second season, it is a new anime with new characters, based on a Visual Novel. Probably the first White Album will be another love triangle, but I have never watched it to give an opinion and be sure of that.
Ore no Seishun, Ore no Seishun
The famous complex comedy anime Oreigairu from the beginning presents a complicated love triangle that lasts for long 3 seasons (mainly for those who waited to be adapted) between a super funny antisocial boy, a happy girl and a depressed one.
The anime tells the story of an antisocial teenager named Hachiman Hikigaya, who is forced by his teacher to the "service club", where he meets Yukinoshita, a difficult girl to deal with, and together they have to solve several other people's problems.
Nagi no Asukara - The Lovable Octagram
The anime shows a human civilization that lives entirely at the bottom of the ocean, separated from other humans who live on the surface. The anime depicts young people who need to transfer to a school on the surface.
The anime features many interesting themes like racism, society, prejudice and others. This anime is not a simple love triangle, but a Heptagon where 7 young people fall in love with the wrong person creating the biggest FriendZone chain of all time.
Gotobun no Hanayome - The Quintessential Quintuplets
Here we have 5 girls who are twin sisters in love with a boy, childhood secrets and lots of fumbling with a dash of ecchi. An anime that took many by surprise and gained a fame that even I didn't expect.
Here we have a protagonist who needs to teach the 5 sisters to study, since the intelligence of only one has been divided into five. The big problem is that these girls don't want to be taught, which causes a tremendous amount of work for our protagonist.
