What animes do you people know of, where the hero of the story didn't pick the since-the-first-episode obvious girl choice?

[Klafe]

Personally I think Shuffle! fits the criteria, unless it's only me who didn't expect the protagonist to end up with that girl.
I was going to say Ichigo 100%, but unfortunately the anime didn't continue on until where manga ends, so...guess that doesn't count.

Also, this summer's Princess Lover! is a potential candidate for your description ;D

Edit#1: adding True Tears to the list

I wasn't expecting that girl in shuffle either, at least not until the few last episodes.

kimikiss and school days -_- and it pisses me off LOL
Canvas2 as well

I can say Tokimeki Memorial but that is cuz the guy didn't give up and it makes me happy =)

But the best pick is Shuffle =)

I knew he'd pick her from the beginning lol. She was the hottest and most awesome lol. ummmm I'd say...i dunno i always know who they're gonna pick lol.

when kira chose flay in gundam seed. he was confused tho.
stupid inuyasha and kikyou.

[Schno]

I'd say Shuffle!. You don't know for the first half of the series at least.

[Conduit]

I would say Maburaho fits really well, although I guess he does kind of cheat the system heh.

[jorgito_55]

Well, actually in maburaho you don't get a clear answer from him in the end, so i wouldn't consider it an option.
