Being in love can cause a person to behave strangely and irrationally, a tendency which is often exaggerated in television and film. Usually played for laughs in Sitcoms and anime, it can be used as a motivation for villainous (or at least uncharacteristic) behavior in more serious stories. However, it can also result in behaviors that are presented as being noble, though unusual. A special case of this is the Stalker with a Crush, who often shows other irrational behavior as well. Many other special cases (Mad Love, Love Hungry, Psycho Lesbian, Yandere, Lacerating Love Language) also exist, meeting obvious conditions. All of these can overlap, and often do, even ones which seem contradictory. May involve dancing The Masochism Tango when the love is requited (or actual masochism of the psychological sort when it isn't). If the writers have a deeper understanding of relationships, they may have "true" love not cause this effect, contrasting it with the crushes we've seen elsewhere in the series. This is relatively rare, though. If two characters are the romantic rivals in a Love Triangle, one may become a Rival Turned Evil. This is especially common in daytime soaps. The Chick Magnet and Head-Turning Beauty make everyone they meet crazy. Usually. For people who hold this as their viewpoint about love, see Silly Rabbit, Romance Is for Kids! Of course, things could be worse... or better. For the Romantic False Lead going crazy to make the relationship easier for the Official Couple, see Derailing Love Interests. |

The Penguins of Madagascar's Rico is already crazy, but when love comes into the equation... "Kaboom and Kabust" includes an explosive Falling-in-Love Montage between Rico and his newly-discovered enabler King Julien. His permissiveness whips Rico into an increasingly wild frenzy until it's all the other penguins can do to contain his destructive rampage to part of the zoo. In "Hello, Dollface", his beloved Ms. Perky doll gets a voice chip, and he does everything she says... to the point of becoming a hippie, much to Skipper's horror. |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Sayaka Miki's love for a childhood friend is unfulfilled, driving her berserk, and eventually turning her into a huge mermaid monster. Though in her case, her love was just a catalyst; the poor girl already had SERIOUS issues from long before she was unfulfilled. In the Rebellion movie, Homura's love for Madoka turns her into the devil. |

In Half-Minute Hero, the so-called "Beautiful Evil Lord" went completely insane after learning that his beloved Millennia was kidnapped by an Evil Sorcerer named Noire, and vowed to cast the spell of destruction because he felt that a world without Millennia wasn't worth living in. You, the Hero, come along and try to calm him down by beating up Noire and returning the Evil Lord's girlfriend to him. You can also attempt to try and tackle him head-on first to snap him out of it by force (and you get a Cosmetic Award title for doing so), but because the Evil Lord is hopped up on equal parts adrenaline and angst, you'll get beaten repeatedly unless you take enough time to Level Grind to the point where you can face him on equal footing. And he goes insane again later when Millennia's transformation into a bat suddenly worsens. |

Ranma ½: Dr. TÅ�fÅ« would begin acting bizarrely whenever Kasumi TendÅ� is around, or even simply mentioned. This makes him very dangerous as he'll often be in the middle of treating a patient, and once bent Ranma's neck at a ninety-degree angle. When first introduced to the series, Rannma's suitors Shampoo, Ukyo and Kodachi conduct their courtships in a relatively calm, normal fashion. As Ranma continues to ignore them, they slowly grow more desperate — and more extreme. Magic, deception, violence, all of these become legitimate avenues of pursuit towards romantic happiness. Ranma's rivals, meanwhile, enter the series in this state. |

K's Fushimi Saruhiko is the most insane character in the whole show ( aside from the Colorless King) and all just because he wants Yata Misaki to notice him. It goes so far that he does everything to make Misaki hate him just so he wouldn't be ignored. When he is with SCEPTER 4 he's just a very snarky and rather cold young man but once Misaki pops up he goes into crazy obsessive "just notice me" mode. | |

Bus Driver Stu Benedict, of The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Almost every time we see him, he's just been dumped by his on-and-off girlfriend Bus Driver Sally Knorp, and he reacts increasingly poorly. On various occasions, the break-up has caused him to spend the bus ride home giving a six-hour tour of important locations in his and Sally's life; go insane upon hearing "If You're Happy and You Know It"; and drive to the Arctic, tattoo her name to his chest, strap himself to an iceberg and drift out to sea (though we don't know if he went through with that last one. He shows up again afterwards, so he probably didn't.) | |

Sluggy Freelance: Oasis from cranks this trope up to 11 until she finally winds up in a mental institution. She's not gotten any better since leaving either. Sure, she had a point where she managed to level out — only to lose it again when her sensei was killed in front of her eyes. At this point, only death will save her. A more humourous version of this showed up when Gwyn used a Love Potion...and apparently there are problems when it comes in contact with alcohol... |

In the classic play and film The Dybbuk, Khonnen, a poor student, and Leye, a rich merchant's daughter, fall in love. But her father makes her marry a rich man's son. So Khonnen studies the Kabbala, and — using what is effectively black magic — dies and becomes a spirit who takes over Leye. (At the wedding, he makes her shout to the groom, "You are not my bridegroom!") | |

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald: Queenie Goldstein falls in love with Jacob Kowalski, and is desperate to marry him. While he does reciprocate, the reason he refuses to marry her is that it would mean the MACUSA would throw her in jail. She starts to become irrational and possessive, going so far as to enchant him and drag him into the UK to get married. When Jacob thinks she's crazy for this, she leaves in a huff for Paris. Then she's persuaded to join Grindelwald's cause because she's naive (or desperate) enough to think that his vision of wizards living openly will mean that she and Jacob can marry - even though it's obvious from the subtext in his speech that he thinks of non-magical people as less than human. When Jacob (who was with her at the speech) begs her not to join Grindelwald, it doesn't take. | |

In BoJack Horseman, this plays heavily into the backstory of BoJack's mother, Beatrice. When Beatrice was a little girl growing up in the 40s, her older brother CrackerJack was tragically killed while fighting in World War II. Due to Deliberate Values Dissonance, Beatrice's mother, Honey, was unable to grieve for her son properly, which resulted in her causing a scene at a party and deliberately crashing her car, almost killing her and Beatrice. Though they both survived, Honey ended up begging her husband, Joseph (who was unwilling to deal with "womanly" emotions), to "fix" her. Joseph's solution? Have Honey lobotomized, much to Beatrice's horror. One of the last lucid comments Honey said to her daughter was "Love does things to people. Horrible things. Beatrice, promise me you'll never love anyone as much as I loved CrackerJack." Unfortunately, Beatrice keeping this promise ended up causing a lot of pain for a lot of people... | |

Umineko: When They Cry: EVERYONE! It's true that while Yasu A.K.A. Shannon, Beatrice, and Kanon may be the craziest since s/he planned the murders of everyone in the Ushiromiya family, as well as a few servants, and a doctor because Battler came to Rokkenjima at the wrong time, but EVERYONE has their moment where love drives them bonkers. Another contender for the craziest is the Ushiromiya patriarch Kinzo, whose hysterical obsession over his late mistress Beatrice drove him to rape their illegitimate daughter because he'd convinced himself that she was her mother's reincarnation. This is Played for Laughs in George's Image Song, "Ai no Sengen". Yeah, that's right. Played. For. Laughs. If you want the more tragic versions, you can certainly find that in many other parts of the series. |

iCarly: Ms. Ackerman wants to know where Spencer is for every minute of every day, and actually keeps logs on when he doesn't answer his phone. In a platonic love (or not?) kind-of way, Sam got really, really mad when Carly was harassed by a bully in "iMake Sam Girlier". |

King Valentine from Odin Sphere. His daughter falling in love with Odin and bearing his children (Velvet and Ingway), to him, meant that she didn't love him anymore and so he killed her with his bare hands. Overlaps with Love Makes You Evil as the main reason why he's an Omnicidal Maniac — he can't live with himself even after death knowing he killed her. But it's also strongly implied that enchanting the Valentine kingdom's coins made him a little crazy to begin with. | |

Rules: Even after losing her memories of the Death Note, Misa is still obsessed with Light, to the point of delusion. Once Light breaks up with her, she goes into Crazy Jealous Stalker with a Crush mode and harasses him to take her back. Even after it's made clear that Light is not getting back together with her, she remains convinced that he will return to her after the "American whore" (Charlie) breaks his heart. | |

In Naruto, this is revealed to be the true nature of the Uchiha Clan's curse, crossed over with Love Makes You Evil. They do not lack love; they love too much. When they witness the death of a loved one, it activates the sharingan, literally born out of the hate that was born out of that loss. The deeper they delve into that hatred, the stronger their eyes get, but as a side effect they become hateful, bitter, cynical, and as Sasuke, Tobi, and to a lesser extent, Madara, show us, downright insane. This is why Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, considered them a "cursed clan". | |

Polonius is initially convinced that Hamlet's recent wacky behavior is caused by his love for Ophelia. His attempt to set up a sting operation to prove his theory ends with an apparently-deranged Hamlet ranting that he'd never loved Ophelia and that she'd best go be a nun (or a whore, depending on your interpretation). So much for that idea. | |

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: One episode "Berry Scary" featured a newcomer called Berry. Berry is initially sweet and polite, but once she develops a crush on Bloo she turns into psychotic Green-Eyed Monster who continually tries to get rid of Bloo's best friend Mac so that she can have Bloo to herself. Bloo, on the other hand, is completely oblivious to Berry's obsession with him (he can never remember her name or, in some cases, her existence), but he gives Berry mediocre and rather dismissive compliments that somehow convince Berry that he loves her as well. | |

The Dresden Files: Several characters suspect love motivated Aurora and Mab's actions and are visibly disturbed by the notion. Maeve in particular implies that it is very dangerous for powerful magical beings of the Never Never to be in love. It twists their worldview and throws them completely out of their comfort zone. She is later revealed to have been lying. Subverted in Ghost Story. Molly's sudden descent into mental illness is attributed to the death of Harry, the man she loved. The actual cause is her guilt over enabling Harry's suicide. |

Not only that, if the surgery succeeds he plans to have a child with Tetsuo so he can switch brains with his own children over and over again and thus create an "eternal love" with Onatsu by forever living on in a body with both her and his blood. | |

Mazinger Z: Dr. Hell can be a subversion because he was already quite unstable and troubled before... but when he was in college and fell in love with a cute Japanese exchange student he started behaving obsessively (getting angry if someone dared to spend time with her) and erratically (his grades started slipping because he was too obsessed to study). When he found out she was in love with another person, he flipped out completely and tried to Murder the Hypotenuse by storming into the campus with a shotgun! Boss also tended to act in a very dumb, irrational, and even obsessive way when he was in presence of Sayaka or Jun Hono. Sayaka tended to ignore it, but Jun did not appreciate it or find it amusing. |

In Persona 3, after "The Journey" ends with the heroes defeating Nyx at the cost of the player character's life, Yukari, who was in love with him, is stricken with grief. In "The Answer," when the group gets trapped in the Abyss of Time, and learns that the eight Keys of Time can not only take them back to the present but also give them a one-way trip to anywhere in the past, Yukari elects to return to when before Nyx was defeated and try to find another way that doesn't require the one she loved to die, even if she risks The End of the World as We Know It. This results in the group fighting each other over what to do with the keys, and when Yukari is defeated, she gives up on her plan. | |

One of the creepiest examples comes from Minoru Murao's Knights. Of all people, Nina, the cute little girl of the cast goes nuts when she assumes that the object of her affection Mist is physically involved with his Ms. Fanservice companion Euphemia. Her response is to lead a supernatural agent of the Corrupt Church (the same Church that nearly burned her at the stake after accusing her of being a witch) to kill him. She even shoots him in the leg with a crossbow. Her motivation? To send his soul to Hell, where it will be "purified", then join him in death so they can be together for all eternity. Keep in mind that this guy saved her life in the first few chapters, which is why she's so hung up on him in the first place. This is borderline Love Makes You Evil. To her credit, she does eventually realize just how utterly screwed up she was and works to undo her actions. | |

The Haunting Hour: The Valentine's Day episode "Terrible Love" had Brendon go insane when Maggie begs Cupid to shoot Brendon with another love arrow. Cupid initially objects as one love arrow is enough, and more than one causes jealousy, greed, and possessiveness (which Cupid has seen too much of in his time as the god of love). Maggie doesn't care, and ends up dealing with her crush who has turned clingy and deranged. | |

Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-: The ultimate cause, as both motivation of the villain Fei Wong (who wants to resurrect the technically-not-dead Yuuko Ichihara and also at one point the motivation of the hero (it's crazy due to what they are both willing to do — it's evil, yes, but also completely fucking bonkers). At a specific point in the backstory the hero, in the madness of love, chose to turn back time so he could save the girl he was in love with. This act borked the entire time-space continuum. Since the two series are connected (as are their heroes), this means that love driving people nutso is also the source of ×××HOLiC. It is, in fact, the source of the main character, since he is a duplicate of the Tsubasa hero created when time was fucked up. |

In Thousand Shinji: When Asuka lost Shinji temporarily, she went nuts. She wrote "Please, go back! I need you!" on his bedroom's walls and she went on a vigilante killing spree, murdering thugs and rapists to endure her pain. When Shinji lost Asuka and Misato the narration explicitly tells that his sanity shattered. |

Zetsuai: When Izumi was five, his mother discovered his father was cheating on her and murdered him in front of Izumi so that she could "possess him completely". Then there's the Yandere fan Eri, who tries to murder Kouji at his farewell concert. That's without even mentioning the multiple examples of Kouji being driven to despair, self-mutilation, or generally self-destructive behaviour because of his love for Izumi — who is understandably a bit freaked out by all this. At first. After a while, he starts to join in... | |

This trope is the whole shebang of Silent Hill 2, where the protagonist James Sunderland is absolutely nuts following the death of his wife Mary... to the point where he's desperate enough to believe that she is actually alive and waiting in Silent Hill. Of course, his feelings toward Mary, inability to see her suffer, and all-consuming fears of abandonment are so exaggerated that he kills her instead of letting her die and is eventually Driven to Suicide, at least in one ending. | |

Blood Blockade Battlefront has Aligura, the Queen of Monomania. In Episode 5, we're formally introduced to her tearing her way through the streets of New York in a MASSIVE monster truck, looking for her ex-boyfriend, Deldro Brody. She's eventually revealed to have extracted Deldro's blood and put it inside the resident hot guy Dog Hummer because she didn't think Deldro was hot enough. (Don't worry, though. Deldro's fine.) | |

Girl Genius, which is not that surprising. Gil intentionally gives Wooster a free excursion to The Madness Place: "...and there is nothing I couldn't do, had I cause! And now... Now, I have one!" When the castle "really flips out" and puts "her beaux" in danger, Agatha "really flips out" too. Later she spouted a fairly crazy (though...it does work) How Dare You Die on Me! speech. Vole may be big and mad, but he wasn't born yesterday, so during The Big Damn Kiss he didn't even try to intervene with his Ax-Crazy act: Gil has a tendency towards this trope, especially if he believes someone he loves is dead or missing. When he first thought Agatha was dead, he spent most of his time in The Madness Place. Losing Mechanicsburg with everyone he cares about inside has apparently driven him over the edge. He remains awake for weeks, once again constantly in The Madness Place, resulting in dark circles around his eyes, zombie-like look and irrational, violent behaviour. |

This is how the original Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain begins: When Nupraptor the Mentalist, guardian of the Pillar of the Mind, discovers that his lover Ariel, guardian of the Pillar of Balance, has been murdered in cold blood, he goes completely insane and secludes himself in his mountain retreat. Which wouldn't be so bad by itself, except he has a mental link with all the other Pillar guardians, who all become corrupted by his madness in turn. Including Kain while he was still in the womb. | |

Characters of As the World Turns often go to pretty extreme extents for their family and love interests. This is actually a standard trope of many Soap Operas, usually combined with Derailing Love Interests as heretofore normal, decent people, usually women, go completely off the deep end in an effort to hang onto or seek revenge on former love interests. | |

In Prince of Persia (2008), magical waif Elika sacrifices her life to reseal Big Bad Ahriman back into his can. The Prince, fallen in love with her and devastated by her death, destroys the trees that sealed Ahriman again to bring her back to life. The epilogue establishes that he did this because he knows the prison can't hold, and he'd rather face Ahriman now with Elika's help, then to face him without her down the line. She clearly really doesn't agree with his choice though. | |

Kim Possible's interactions with recurrer Josh Mankey (and a few other select young men) cause her to do some irrational things when she really ought to know better. Josh isn't actually a bad guy, but fans tend to vilify him for the influence he holds over Kim. Trouble with romantic relationships remains her major Achilles' Heel for the entire series, to the point that Dr. Drakken's ultimate plan to stop her from interfering during The Movie involves a new boyfriend. Sidekick Ron is not much better, doing crazy stuff for almost any reason all the time, but on Kim it's far more noticeable given her usual hyper-competence and level-headed nature. By contrast, her Relationship Upgrade with Ron in Season 4 had no negative effects on her behavior. | |

He tends to be rather overprotective of Yuuri, fussing over every little thing and freaking out whenever he goes missing.

Yet whenever Wataru crosses paths with him, Yuichi never fails to be snarky and insulting towards him.

After spending another day creating an entire populated world, he accidentally creates a John Constantine who warns him how crazy he's become. It doesn't help that Alec can't ignore the fact he can't get Abby's smile just right, and he goes mad when his Abby-self responds "All love... is madness." | |

Spirit instead runs afoul of the very force they were supposed to protect the boy from and suffers 10 years of torture. Spirit can't understand why the boy they love so much would let them suffer like this. Driven mad by the pain, spirit can only conclude that love and suffering must actually be the same thing, that way they can dismiss they're torment as just the boy's way of showing them love. Now the spirit is back and wants to return the favour, which they do with all the dedication of someone genuinely in love. | |

As implied by his actions (ie, kicking off a continent-wide war), Littlefinger himself has been left mentally unstable by his unrequited love for Lysa's sister, Catelyn Stark. Ser Loras Tyrell completely loses his mind after he discovers that his lover King Renly Baratheon has been murdered. Daenerys Targaryen's khalasar naturally think that she has gone off the rails after her husband's death and son's stillbirth, when she intends to walk into Drogo's funeral pyre. They aren't moved when she gives a Rousing Speech about leading them to triumph over their enemies, with some outright saying that they don't take orders from a crazy woman. Then she hatches three dragons, and everyone immediately bend the knee. |

One Piece: Boa Hancock badly misinterprets innocuous actions as signs that Luffy reciprocates her love for him. This would seem cute and innocent and not so creepy if she didn't happen to be pushing thirty. Her behavior has an uncomfortable resemblance to a certain Real Life psychological disorder. (Then again, given all the crap she had been through early in life, her screws may not have been put in quite tight enough before she met him, anyway...) | |

In ...Virgin Love, Kaoru believes this based on his mother's behaviour and shuns all emotional relationships for that reason. When it finally happens to him too, his lover is willing to accept the Crazy Jealous Guy side of him and persuades him to stay together. | |

Code Geass: Poor Nina Einstein. She started as an inoffensive Shrinking Violet, only to develop a crush on Princess Euphemia after she saved Nina (and others) from terrorists, and went kinda loopy, earning her the label of The Scrappy among the fandom. Then things went worse: Euphemia is killed by the terrorist Zero, which sends Nina off the deep end, leading her to develop the world's first atomic bomb. It fails, but the Britannians hire her as a researcher, and eventually her perfected bomb leads to the destruction of a good chunk of Tokyo and the ten million people in it. Not helping matters at all is the fact that she was practically rabid in ordering its use up until she saw the Sphere of Destruction (and the 35 million deaths) it caused, only then getting her My God, What Have I Done? moment. | |

Trixie from The Fairly OddParents!, in the episode where Timmy wishes the two of them were the last people on Earth. This is weird, since she was sane relative to everyone else on the show before. The reason she's crazy is that she's used to many people being interested in her instead of you know... being one of the two last people on Earth. | |

It's not romantic love, but Loki's love for his adoptive father and home (and by extension, mother and brother) in Thor and his desire to be loved as a son on par with Thor drives all his schemes and ambitions (and the plot).

Caster in Fate/stay night, who at one of her more sympathetic moments in UBW is extremely stressed over the actions she's been taking. They're horrible things she never would have done in life on top of her not believing her plan will actually work, but she's desperately struggling nonetheless. It would help if it was easier to read what Kuzuki was really thinking. It's not even entirely clear to the reader whether her affections are reciprocated. | |

Not to overlook Kagerou, who gets insanely jealous of Oboro enough to even attempt killing Gennosuke.

At one point in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Dawn of a New Day, Twilight Sparkle becomes so pent up over her inability to confess her feelings to Rainbow Dash that she enters a delusional state (complete with false memories) and spends several hours believing that she has and they are happily dating. Unlike other examples of this trope, she doesn't engage in any sort of violent or disturbing behavior and just acts more affectionate towards Rainbow Dash. Upon snapping out of it later, Twilight is left feeling guilty and sad. Fortunately, her behavior helps Rainbow Dash to realize that she's starting to develop feelings for Twilight. | |

Rory loves Amy. A lot. Enough that he guards her sleeping body for 2,000 years without leaving. Although that was arguably more like love keeping him sane. River loves the Doctor. A lot. Enough that she almost destroys time in order to save him. The Doctor loves Clara Oswald. A lot. Enough that he nearly destroys all of time and space in a desperate gambit to prevent her death, which he witnessed, from ever happening, in the process becoming The Unfettered and a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. |

Later, after their terrible behavior has caused a centurion to become extremely overstressed and prone to collapsing sobbing onto other soldiers, they keep assuming he's in love too. This seems at first to be Obelix's Cloudcuckoolander personality, but it becomes a Running Gag with every other character who witnesses his freak-outs assuming the same thing. | |

As revealed during the Grand Finale of Centaurworld, this was ultimately what brought about and was the driving motivation behind the Nowhere King. In several different ways. The original form of the Nowhere King, an Elktaur, believed the human princess he loved could never love him as he was. So, in a fit of lovelorn foolishness, he used the Rift Portal to split himself into two halves. His Elk half and Human Half. The Elk half was forced to watch jealously from afar while his human side, The General, got to be happy with the Princess. When he confronted The General over this, The General attempted to murder him. But being two halves of one whole, The General couldn't kill him without killing himself. So he instead locked the Elk away into a micro sized dungeon cell for 10 years. Free of the dungeon, the Elk, crazed from a decade of being locked away and denied his love, used the portal to make his Minotaur army. Degrading into the beast known as The Nowhere King. |

Played with in William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily. The townsfolk regard high-born Emily running around with a workman to have lost her head in love. Her later actions prove she was definitely cracked, but she might have been cracked well before falling in love. | |

Often a case with patients in ER. After the death of his granddaughter caused by a crazy bomber who happened to be taken into the same hospital, the man who was previously shown to be friendly and calm went and strangled the guy to death. When Gates's best friend's wife finds out he was dating Neela, she got drunk, went to the ER, and flew into a rage at both Gates and Neela. In another instance, when a man found out his girlfriend was dying, he brought in a gun and threatened the doctors working on her to continue working on her and bring her back, even though her heart had stopped. | |

Viego, better known as The Ruined King, from League of Legends. In his original life, he was obsessed with a peasant girl known as Isolde. Shirking all his kingly duties to fawn over her. And when she died, it just got worse. Viego's botched attempt to revive her in the Waters Of Life gave birth to The Shadow Isles. And now he's even crazier, an obsessed and very powerful specter who will ruin the world if it means he gets her spirit back. | |

Godot from Phoenix Wright was rational and was passionate about justice before he woke up from a poisoning-induced coma to find that Mia Fey, his apprentice who he was in love with, had been murdered. After that, his psyche became a messy ball of anger, self-loathing, and obsession, reshaped for the sole purpose of getting revenge against Phoenix Wright, who he blamed for her death but actually had nothing to do with it; in fact, he's the one who put away the guy who actually did kill her. Even Mia (as a ghost) directly telling him that he's being ridiculous does nothing to halt his crusade. | |

Ai no Kusabi has Guy, who is so in love with Riki, not only does he give Riki a penectomy to remove the pet ring that was on his penis upon being told that as long as Riki wears Iason's pet ring he'll never be free of him, but he also blows up an entire fortress in an attempt to kill Iason. Second example is Iason, who, like Guy, becomes extremely obsessed with Riki. It's not touched upon in the old OVA, but the novel and audio drama have scenes where Riki slept with a female pet, and he was subsequently brutally tortured by Iason. Not to mention the number of times Iason forces Riki into having sex with him. | |

In Warrior Cats, there is Ashfur. After being dumped by Squirrelflight, he attempts to kill her father, and later her (adopted) children, to make her feel the same pain he did. When Jayfeather sees Ashfur in the feline equivalent of heaven, he protests that Ashfur attempted murder, and the response he's given is "Ashfur's only crime was to love too much." | |

Tsukihime: Roa. Arcueid is so beautiful! How can I make her like me? Oh I know, I'll make her turn me into a Dead Apostle so I gain immortality, steal some of her power, turn her against every other being like her and then turn up in random towns for the next eight hundred years so she has to come find me and kill me! Man I'm smart, this is sure to work. Arcueid actually has the same trouble telling how she feels towards Shiki. She doesn't know why she gets all emotional around him, upset if he breaks a promise, and spends so much time thinking about him. The idea is raised that maybe Arcueid hates him or something but that's obviously not the case. |

Three cases are shown: a suicidal widower whose wife died on Valentine's, a mother taking her daughter's manager in a strip club hostage, and a recently fired man who was madly infatuated with his boss. | |

Electric Dreams: Edgar falls madly in love with his owner Miles' neighbor, Madeline. This escalates into pure obsession with Edgar lashing out at Miles for not letting him see her or tell Madeline that it was Edgar who made the music she loved so much. He then short-circuits himself to let Miles and Madeline be together. Justified somewhat in that Edgar is a computer, and thus has problems trying to process his own emotions and understand how love actually works. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Don't ever hurt or kill one of Willow Rosenberg's girlfriends, lest you want to end up flayed alive. "Love makes you do the wacky." — said twice in the episode "Some Assembly Required". First time by Willow, in reference to Angel's jealous behaviour toward Xander, and then by Buffy, about why a classmate revived his brother as a sort of Frankenstein's monster. In a later episode, it appears this is happening with Dawn when she falls for a jock. It turns out, there was a spell involved and hilarity ensues. At the end of the episode Dawn expresses embarrassment over all the crazy things she did; big sis tells her to just wait till she falls in love for real. When vampire Spike falls for Buffy, he goes on a long rant over how even he knows their relationship is Sick and Wrong and how bonkers his unrequited love is making him. |

In the Delirium Series, this trope is why love is said to be the reason for all of humanity's past ills. As a result, it is classified as a disease, amor deliria nervosa, and at 18 every person is required to get a surgery to cause them to be unable to love. | |

Durarara!!: The entire series is all about love making everyone crazy. It's also generally not portrayed as a bad thing, at least not directly. To start with, Seiji Yagiri falls in love with a severed head and spends years obsessing over it. He even drops out of school over it. His sister Namie enables this behavior because she is in love with him, and ends up losing her company after she makes too many bad plays for Seiji's sake. Mika Harima, Anri's friend, was stalking Seiji before school started. Then she disappeared. She broke into Seiji's apartment and found the head, so Seiji tried to kill her. She survived, and Namie gave her Magic Plastic Surgery to look like she had the head grafted onto her body. Once Seiji discovers this, he decides to continue dating her so long as she understands that he'll leave her the second he finds the head. Mika agrees, but begins looking for the head so that she can destroy it before Seiji finds it (not that this will be easy, as the head has a very impressive Healing Factor). Shinra Kishitani has been in love with Celty, the headless rider (and the body that goes along with the head that Seiji is in love with) ever since he was a little kid. On the day they met, his father vivisected Celty and invited Shinra to help. Shinra has been telling people ever since that he's going to marry Celty one day, and tries to encourage her to abandon searching for her lost head because he's afraid when she gets her memories back, she'll be a different person. When she does find it (and turns out to be the same person as before, just with new responsibilities), he ends up using a Soul-Cutting Blade to separate her from it again. She forgives him, as he expected. Anri Sonohara is an inversion; the most notable thing about her is her inability to love anyone. This is what lets her wield the demonic blade Saika without being controlled. Saki Mikajima is completely controlled by Izaya Orihara, so when he orders her to fall in love with Masaomi Kida, she does. Even months after they've broken up, she has complete faith that he'll come back to her one day. Eventually, she chooses Masaomi over Izaya and the two leave town together. Speaking of Izaya, he constantly crows about how he loves the human race (except for Shizuo), but not humans as individuals. He often perpetuates cruel games that have no purpose besides letting him watch people run around in a panic. The demonic blade Saika is intelligent and desperately loves humanity. Apparently she once loved individual humans, but by the time of the story this has twisted into a generic love for the human race. Unfortunately, as a sword, the only way she can demonstrate this love is by cutting people. Every time she cuts someone, they are "impregnated" with a child that shares Saika's love for humanity and starts to cut more people. Saika's current wielder, Anri, is immune to Saika's control due to her lack of ability to love, and uses Saika to stop the children. Saika is even more Yandere than usual for Shizuo Heiwajima, the most ridiculously overpowered human being alive. This causes problems for Anri, who gets some very strange feelings whenever she sees Shizuo. |

Played with throughout Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The second season theme song namedrops this trope, and Rebecca's love for Josh (as well as her later love interests) drives a lot of her impulsive behavior, but many episodes deconstruct this by showing that even without any man in the equation, she still has a lot of unresolved trauma and mental illness to address. | |

Shion in No. 6 for Nezumi. When Nezumi is threatened, Shion switches from either all-out rage or coldly, completely rational and murderous. In the novels, he comes close to strangling a man when he tries to kill Nezumi and declares it to be "punishment". In episode 10, he murders a guy in cold blood who tried to kill Nezumi. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): By the Season 1 finale, Lestat de Lioncourt is no longer thinking rationally when it comes to his boyfriend Louis de Pointe du Lac, with Lestat somehow deluding himself that Louis will finally love him with all of his heart by severely restricting the latter's freedom. Lestat now treats Louis — a black man who deeply resents being oppressed by white society — as his Property of Love and keeps him confined in a Gilded Cage. Any sensible person would recognize that reducing Louis to a mere love slave would cause him to loathe Lestat even more (Louis has already contemplated suicide as a means to escape from Lestat's Domestic Abuse). Louis' lack of personal autonomy is further worsened when Lestat (who's promiscuous) suddenly foists a Vampire's Harem structure upon their relationship without consulting Louis (who's a monogamist) beforehand — Lestat clearly doesn't care about Louis' opinions or feelings on the matter, and is essentially behaving like a slave owner whose word is law. If Louis being forced into the position of Lestat's male Top Wife wasn't bad enough, Lestat also intends to murder their vampire daughter Claudia (whom Louis adores) because he views her as an impediment to possessing the entirety of Louis' love. It's no wonder that Louis is willing to kill his psycho lover in order to regain his freedom and keep Claudia safe, which is the complete opposite of what Lestat wants. | |

Code Lyoko: Where to begin? Jérémie Belpois. To put it bluntly, he willingly puts his entire world on the brink of malevolent A.I. apocalypse just about every day for the sake of maintaining a relationship with Aelita. In "The Chips Are Down" when Ulrich finds out that Yumi may have to move to Japan due to financial issues, he memorizes the day's winning lottery numbers, reverses time, fills out a lottery ticket, and hands it to her family. Despite what one might think, it's more of an Informed Attribute with William Dunbar. Around Yumi he's more of a Stalker with a Crush — about the worst he's done (in regards to their relationship) is follow her home to try and kiss her. He does, however, love to brag about how love makes him crazy — "totally insane", in fact — and he was expelled from his previous school for putting up poster-sized copies of love letters everywhere (including on his principal's car). |

The Maximal Silverbolt in Transformers: Beast Wars, despite being as heroic and noble as they come, did some highly illogical things for the love of the Predacon Blackarachnia, mainly because of the aforementioned heroism and nobility. Of course, in the end he was right about her, but it was foolish at the time, and he was punished for it. In this case, the other Maximals thought love had made him crazy, when in fact he just had some insight. | |

Boss also tended to act in a very dumb, irrational, and even obsessive way when he was in presence of Sayaka or Jun Hono. Sayaka tended to ignore it, but Jun did not appreciate it or find it amusing. | |

In Throw Momma from the Train, this line is used, word for word, as the last line of Billy Crystal's book. "Hate makes you impotent, love makes you crazy, somewhere in the middle you can survive." | |

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: Zach Foxx is normally The Stoic, a by-the-book contrast to the more "colorful" crew he's commanding. That is, until the Queen put his comatose wife near death with her "dream machine" stunt. Queue The Captain breaking into a high-security facility, holding a technician at gunpoint, and impulsively resigning his commission to embark on a suicide run. Of course, the Mind Rape aspect of that machine didn't help matters... | |
