So it's unfortunately that time of year again (partial sarcasm). Well I'm single so it's definitely not my favorite holiday but I've also been to busy to go dating. But as you know I always post a list of my favorite or least favorite anime couples and what most people think of them. Obviously I'm posting the couples from My Story so don't hesitate to ship them. Their love stories are going to be the greatest like at the other end of Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey. As always you can leave feedback but CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY! Much of this is my opinion and you can have a different one. I might be talking about some endings so...
*************************!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!*************************
What I want in a couple:
I always pretty much repeat this every year but I look for their likeability and chemistry together. The two people have to care for each other and go out of their way for one another. I prefer couples who are the same age minus or plus a year or two. But it's cool to date older women, I myself am attracted to women slightly older than me (NOT COUGARS!) so I kind of like to see that in an anime.
Worst Couples (Get em outta the way 1st)
You can pretty much tell who's gonna be on here if you read my previous V-Day posts. But sorry for mentioning them again.
Ana Steele + Christian Grey (50 Shades of Grey)-OH GOD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOOOO! I never thought I'd find a love story that might be worse than Twilight but this might be it.
Edward Cullen + Bella Swan (Twilight)-For a long time these two were considered the worst love story and always rank at the bottom as far as romance goes. Christina Perri's song "A Thousand Years" is the only good thing to come from this movie series.
Kirino Kosaka + Kyosuke Kosaka (Oremio)-These two are BROTHER AND SISTER and biologically too. Like of 7 billion people in the world you couldn't have found someone who you weren't related to?
School Days- Don't watch this if you want actual romance. If you're into blood, gore, and violence then go ahead and watch it.
Average/Okay/Mixed Review Couples
The following couples have people who like them, people who hate them, and people who think they're so so. I'm kind of indifferent to most of them but have different opinions.
Sesshomaru + Rin (Inuyasha)-Upon finding out these two are official it kind of makes me sick. Sesshomaru is a grown man and Rin is a child. Okay so Rin may have aged but I still find it disturbing. While Inuyasha is chronologically older than Kagome, they're physically and mentally the same age. I always saw it as more of a father-daughter, guardian-child, or big brother-little sister relationship than actual romance. This is an unpopular opinion but I think Rin would be better off with Kohaku.
Saito Hiraga + Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere (The Familiar of Zero/Zero no Tsukaima)- Louise is a tsundere so there are pretty mixed opinions on this couple. Louise is initially rude, mean, and even abuse towards Saito but shows feelings for him. Saito isn't exactly excited about it either but warms up to Louise and cares for her too. The moment when Saito dies but is resurrected we see Louise's true feelings about him. They get married in the end. I don't really see them as good or bad.
Kirito/Kazuto Kasuga + Asuna Yuuki (Sword Art Online)-SAO is just one of those anime people either love or hate. I'm kind of in between but I 'slightly' like it. Asuna is a neo-tsundere so she shows romantic feelings pretty fast. Eventually Kirito and Asuna become a couple. While I kind of liked the first SAO, I kind of lost interest and seemed to be the same thing over again.
Best/Most Popular Couples
Usagi Tsukino + Mamoru Chiba (Sailor Moon)(Crystal)-No one in their right mind would forgive me if I didn't put these two on a couples list. Sailor moon has been considered one of the best magical girl anime. Usagi and Mamoru don't like each other initially but recognize their feelings for each other. As the incarnations of Princess Serenity and King Endymion they are truly meant for each other. At one point Mamoru breaks up with Usagi but they get back together as a stronger couple. They end up marrying in the end.
Inuyasha + Kagome Higurashi (Inuyasha)-Again no one would forgive me if I made a V-Day post and didn't mention them. Inuyasha and Kagome are a universally loved couple among anime fans. While they argue a lot at first, they begin to develop feelings for each other. They will go to the ends of the earth for each other and Inuyasha becomes kinder, caring, and more unselfish towards others, and Kagome also cares for him as well. While there is some rivalry with Kagome and Kikyo I while support Kagome + Inuyasha. With this new sequel we see that they've taken it a step further and now have kids. However, most of the main characters would be dead if it weren't for Kikyo.
Sakura Kinomoto + Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura)(Clear Card)-If I make a V-Day couples list, I could never leave these two out. CCS is just one of those most spectacular anime that's so hard to dislike. Without Sakura and Syaoran are the OTP of the show and one of the cutest couples in anime. Sakura and Syaoran start off as rivals but Syaoran warms up to Sakura because of her warmth and kindness. After Syaoran confesses, Sakura returns her feelings towards him. They always look out for each other and are just adorable together.
Sakura + Syaoran (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)-If I include CCS then obviously I have to put TRC in here too. Sakura and Syaoran were childhood friends but then Sakura loses her memories. Syaoran then goes on a journey to retrieve her memories and they will go to the ends of the earth for each other. We see how much they truly deeply care for each other and they better get married!
Banri Tada + Koko Kaga (Golden Time)-Golden Time is one of the best romantic comedy anime I've
reviewed. I know some have a different opinion but I love Banri with Koko. While some wanted Banri to end up with Linda the lesson in Golden Time is that childhood friends don't always end up together and you may meet someone who you like better.
Yuuta Togashi + Rikka Takanashi (Love, Chunibyo, & other Delusions/Chunibyo demo Koi ga Shitai)-This is just one of those anime that looks cute, innocent, and funny at first but throws into something emotional and heart string pulling. Yuuta suffered from chunibyo or delusions in middle school and tries to escape it through his high school life until he runs into Rikka who suffers from the same thing and knows about Yuuta's past. Eventually Yuuta and Rikka fall in love and we see the sad and tragic reasons behind their chunibyo.
Hodaka Morishima + Hina Amano (Tenki no Ko/Weathering with You)-Another anime movie from Makoto Shinkai. This is such a great romance anime movie and shows how much Hodaka and Hina's feelings for each other grow stronger.
Mitsuki Koyama + Takuto Kira (Full Moon wo Sagashite/Searching for the Full Moon)-This one of those sad emotional anime but has a happy ending that packs a punch. Mitsuki's dream is to become a singer to fulfill her promise to her childhood friend Eichi Sakurai. But her throat tumor prevents her. Shinigami ("death spirits"), Takuto and Meroko come to help her. Many things happen in the anime including Mitsuki finding out about Eichi's death.
Underrated Couples
Yuuma Kohinata + Haruhi Kamisaka (Happiness!)-This anime never gets the attention that it deserves. It's obvoius Yuuma and Haruhi have feelings for each other since the start. Many moments happen between them and the seal it off with a kiss becoming a couple.
Nasa Yuzaki + Tsukasa Yuzaki (Tonikaku Kawaii/Tonikawa: Over the Moon for You)- A pretty recent anime to come out and while it's not quite a top notch masterpiece, it still has its charm. After Nasa is saved by Tsukasa from being hit by a truck, he immediately falls for her. When Nasa confesses his love, Tsukasa accepts as long as they get married. Then we see their new life together as a married couple.
Firiel Dee + Roux Liskin (The Good Witch of the West/Nishi no Yoki Majo: Astraea Testament)-A very underrated anime. I will never get sick of watching this kind of love story. Firiel finds out she's a royal girl of blood. She initially sees her younger childhood friend Roux as a younger brother but develop romantic feelings for him and it becomes pretty consistent throughout the anime. Firiel decides to live a happy life with Roux.
Mamoru Yoshimura + Ayako Takasu (Venus to Mamoru/Mamoru Kun ni Megami no Shokufuko wo!)-This is sucj a wonderful magical romantic comedy anime. During his first day attending a prestigious school, a very short 16-year-old Mamoru is asked out by an older taller beautiful Ayako. They become a couple and Mamoru is such a lucky guy.
Tatsuya Asagiri + Feena Fam Earthlight (Brighter than the Dawning Blue/Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na: Crescent Love)- This is a very underrated romance anime with a fantastic ending. School boy Tatsuya falls in love with Lunar Princess of the Moon, Feena. As star-crossed lovers, Tatsuya and Feena don't let anything get in their way as their bond and love for each other is so strong. Tatsuya and Feena get married and bring peace between the Earth and Moon.
Sumomo Akihime + Masaharu Tsuwabuki (Nanatsuiro Drops)-An extremely underrated magical girl anime. After accidentally drinking a magic potion, Masaharu becomes a stuffed lamb at night. Sumomo has to help him but can't know his identity or he'll become a stuffed lamb forever. As the story progresses, Sumomo and Masaharu fall in love. Masaharu loses his memories but fulfills his promise and is able to continue to love Sumomo. Sumomo and Masaharu's love is so strong they will stay together no matter what is thrown in their way.
Ryuji Kisagari + Rose (Dragon Crisis!)-This is an underrated romance fantasy anime. It becomes clear Rose loves Ryuji and is attached to him. Ryuji will do anything to make sure Rose is safe and happy. Ok I will admit it Ryuji looks like me and you know the rest. But they are an adorable couple.
My Story
So now here's the couples from My Story. If you ship them I promise you they will set sail and won't sink (Except both villains and Fahru die).
Takeshi Hachuu + Annabelle "Angel" Ahrimo- Takeshi is the main character so these two are the OTP of the anime. Takeshi is a 16 year old reptile/snake yokai who is mostly introverted, mature, smart, selfless, strong-willed, and protective (A combination of Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games and Robin from Teen Titans) and Angel is a 16 year old cat yokai who is very kind, friendly, sweet, selfless, intelligent, and popular in school. Angel makes friends with Takeshi as she feels sorry for him seeing him alone. Takeshi and Angel share their secrets and feelings for one another despite that Reptiles and Cats are supposed to be enemies. Both come to terms with how to accept their identies and fate. Takeshi had suffered the death of his father and years of discrimination while Angel always thought she was the only one. They show how much they deeply and truly care about each other and are always there for one another throughout the story. Angel is willing to stand up for Takeshi and is really supportive of him. Both cannot bear to see the other one sad or hurt. To Angel Takeshi's happiness is her happiness and to Takeshi, Angel's happiness is his happiness. Takeshi is not afraid to to protect Angel or anyone else he loves even if it means the cost his own life. Takeshi comes to terms and realizes it's the first time since his father's death that he hasn't felt sad, lonely, or depressed and is happy and stronger with Angel by his side. With every challenge and obstacle they face, Takeshi and Angel only get stronger together. Takeshi strives to fulfill his father's dying wish and Angel helps him every step of the way.
Taro Hachuu + Nina Moriko- While Takeshi and Angel are the OTP, Taro and Nina are a very close second. Taro, age 14, younger brother of Takeshi who is also a reptilian/snake yokai. He is initally short-tempered and vengeful. Nina, age 14, is Taro's childhood friend and a owl yokai of Russian and Japanese decent and is spunky and vein, yet caring as well. And yes she is a tsundere too! They stay by each others side despite that Reptiles and Owls are supposed to be enemies. At first, they argue a lot and try to hide their feelings but realize how much they really mean to each other and need each other and care about one another. Nina has suffered the loss of both her parents and Taro suffered through the death of his father. Both want to fulfill what their parents wishes and realize that they are no longer sad, lonely, or depressed, and are happy and stronger by each other's side. Much like many couples, Taro and Nina cannot bear to see the other one hurt or sad and are brought joy by the other's happiness. They face many obstacles and challenges in their relationship but always come out stronger than before.
Fahru Hachuu + Ren Hachuu- Ren and Fahru are the mother and father of Takeshi and Taro. Fahru is a reptilian/snake yoaki, while Ren is an ordinary human. These two are kind of star-crossed lovers. Their parents each accepted each other while society didn't. The fact that a reptilian and ordinary human are married was more reason they were targeted. Nevertheless they didn't care what others thought. They were deeply in love with each other and went to great lengths for one another and they started a family which made them stronger. Fahru was willing to risk anything for his family and finally lost his life protecting those he loved the most. Ren strives to fulfill her promise and Fahru's dying wish and continues to raise her two boys as a single mother well.
Kyofusho + Kumori-The main villain Kyofusho, which means phobia. The main villainess, Kumori is his wife. Kumori is just as evil also joining her husband in his plans. They are loyal to one another and they even have a son and other family members who are evil as well.
Conclusion
So that's it for this V-Day post. If you feel free couples that should be added feel free to comment. I know I've been repeating myself but this is what I have to post and I've been busy finding a job and moving in my real life. Once again here's me every Valentines Day. Getting wasted!
