Well it's that special time of year again, well for those who are couples and not me. It's Valetines Day (V-Day)! So I will post my lists of couples: worst, average, best, underrated, should've been couples, and couples from My Story. And feel free to ship the couples from My Story they will be unsinkable (well mostly). I want them to have the greatest love stories of all time, the exact opposite of Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey. Feel free to leave feedback but CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY! I have my opinion and you're allowed to have yours. I may reveal some endings so...
*************************!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!*************************
What makes a good couple
How good a couple is mostly depends on their lovability and chemistry together. How far they'll go for one another and how much they care about each other. Generally, I prefer couples who are the same age minus or plus a year or two. But I think it's cool to date older women (NOT COUGARS) so I kind of like to see that in anime.
Worst Couples (get the worst outta the way first)-While these aren't anime I'd say they're by far the best example of terrible love stories.
Jennifer + Scott Petkov-Jennifer made of of a 7-year-old girl dying from Huntington's disease online. All over not being invited to a party (Stupid reason). Her husband Scott is nearly as bad. Just look these two up and they're probably the ugliest couple here.
Amy + Sammy Bougzaglo (Amy's Baking Company)-Just watch Kitchen Nightmares and you'll know. Amy's a crazy b*** who's logic is I'm always right and everyone else is wrong. Her husband Samy looks like he could be her father or grandpa. Two rude resturaunt owners who treat everyone like s***.
Edward Cullen + Bella Swan (Twilight)-Probably the most hated love story and my favorite meme came from them ("Still a better love story than Twilight"). Christina Perri's song "A Thousand Years" is the only good thing that came from this series.
Ana Steele + Christian Grey (50 Shades of Grey)-One of the few love stories that can give Twilight a run for its money. Twilight's considered the worst possible love story but this one's just as bad.
Okay/Average/Polarizing Couples
Sesshomaru + Rin (Inuyasha)-Finding out these two had a kid kind of makes me sick given the age difference.
Kirito/Kazuto Kirigaya + Asuna Yuuki (Sword Art Online)-People seem to either love or hate SAO and I'm kind of in between. Asuna is a neo-tsundere but she does change quickly. It doesn't take long for Kirito and Asuna to become a couple.
Saito Hiraga + Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere (The Familiar of Zero/Zero no Tsukaima)-There's lots of mixed thoughts about Saito and Louise. Louise starts off mean, rude, and even abusive towards Saito but shows feelings for him. Saito doesn't exactly like the situation either but warms up to Louise. We see Louise's true feelings when Saito dies but is resurrected and they end up getting married in the end.
Naruto Couples- The series has pretty resolved itself by now. If anyone thought love triangles were complicated, try explaining the beginning of this one. (Except for Ranma 1/2) Naruto likes Sakura but Sakura likes Sasuke who doesn't like Sakura in return, at first. Hinata has feelings for Naruto but initially he sees her as just a friend. Things turn around for good as Naruto returns his feelings for Hinata and they get married. The same happens for Sasuke and Sakura.
Most Popular/Best Couples
Sakura Kinomoto + Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura)(Clear Card)-Once again, in no way could I ever make a V-Day couples list and not include these two. Sakura and Syaoran are probably the most adorable couple and I and most people can't get enough of them. They start of rivals but warm up to each other. Syaoran gets the courage to confess to Sakura who then returns her feelings. Recently CLAMP writer Nanase Ohkawa kind of hinted about Sakura and Syaoran getting married but said everyone should imagine it in their own hearts but did not say the story was over after Clear Card.
Sakura + Syaoran (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)-Of course I had to include these two especially since including Cardcaptor Sakura. Sakura and Syaoran are childhood friends but then Sakura loses her memories. Syaoran goes on a mission to retrieve Sakura's memories and they fall in love. Sakura and Syaoran care for each other and will go out of their way for one another. I liked this anime but I kind of wanted more with the ending. I know CLAMP knows how to write better endings so these two better get married, make it happen CLAMP!
Kobato Hanato + Kiyokazu Fujimoto (Kobato)-Another great story by CLAMP. Like most CLAMP stories it starts off being kind of cute, innocent, and funny but becomes very emotional and heartfelt towards the end, which are some of the best times of anime to watch. While Fujimoto initally acts like he doesn't like Kobato at first, he warms up to her and starts to care about her. Kobato's kindness and soft feelings don't change and she begins to show feelings for Fujimoto as well. The great ending truly packed an emotional punch.
Inuyasha + Kagome Higurashi (Inuyasha)-I do not think anyone would ever forgive me if I did not include these two on an anime couples list. While they don't get along at first, they develop romantic feelings for each other. Inuyasha and Kagome will go to the ends of the earth for the other. There are some conflicting ideas of Kagome vs Kikyo. I support Inuyasha and Kagome, but most of the main characters would be dead if it weren't for Kikyo.
Usagi Tsukino + Mamoru Chiba (Sailor Moon) (Crystal)-Here's another couple that no one would forgive me if I didn't include them. Sailor Moon is the most popular magical girl anime. While Usagi and Mamoru don't like each other at first they do warm up to each other. They are the incarnations of Princess Serenity and King Endymion. They break up but then get back together as a stronger couple and we see how much they love and care about each other. To top it off Usagi and Mamoru get married.
Banri Tada + Koko Kaga (Golden Time)-Golden Time is one the best romantic comedy anime I've reviewed. While some people have different opinions, I love Banri with Koko. I know some people wanted Banri to end up with Linda but the lesson in Golden Time is that childhood friends don't always end up together and you may meet someone who you like better.

Underrated Couples
Nasa Yuzaki + Tsukasa Yuzaki (Tonikaku Kawaii/Tonkikawa: Over the Moon for You)-This anime isn't exactly a masterpiece but it is still enjoyable. Tsukasa saves Nasa from being hit by a truck he immediately falls in love with her. Tsukasa accepts his confession under the condition they get married. As they spend time together as a married couple their bond grows stronger.
Sumomo Akihime + Masaharu Tsuwabuki (Nanatsuiro Drops)-This is such an underrated magical girl anime. Masaharu accidentally drinks a magic potion which turns him into a stuffed lamb at night. Fortunately, Sumomo is there to help him but she cannot know his identity or he'll become a stuffed lamb forever. Sumomo and Masaharu fall in love and are able to retain their bond no matter what is thrown their way.
Ryuji Kisaragi + Rose (Dragon Crisis!)-A very underrated fantasy anime. From the beginning Rose loves Ryuuji and is attached to him. Ryuuji will do anything to protect Rose and make sure she is happy. Ok well I admit, Ryuji looks like me and you know the rest. They are an adorable couple nontheless.
Athanasia de Alger Obelia + Lucas (Who Made Me a Princess/Mofa gongzhu de xiao fannao)-I've seen previews of this anime and I don't know much yet. Fans are really hoping for something to happen between them.
Amane Fujimiya + Mahiru Shiina (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten/Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken)-I really liked this anime. Amane lives next door the the most popular girl Mahiru but hasn't talked to her until one day he helps her out. Their relationship progresses throughout the story and we see they clearly reciprocate feelings for each other.
Ryuuto Kashima + Runa Shirakawa (Keikenzumi na Kimi to, Keiken Zero na Ore ga, Otsukiai suru Hanashi/Our Dating story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me)-I really loved this anime and I'm hoping more of it comes out because I want to see more of Ryuto and Runa. Ryuto has to confess to Runa, the most popular girl in school, as a result of losing a game. To his surprise Runa happily accepts and they start going out. I love that its between a shy boy and a popular girl which kind of gives shy guys like me hope. Despite Runa's social status, she does not care that Ryuto is not a dream 'prince' and loves and accepts him for the way he is. I admit I love these two kind of because Ryuuto looks like me and is also a shy guy too and Runa is such a beautiful girl who reminds me of a someone who I'd love to be with. I really hope we get more of this anime and can see Ryuto and Runa take their relationship to the next level.
My Story
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.
Conclusion
So that's a rap for this years V-Day post, I know I'm pretty much repeating myself but I haven't really had much time to watch anything new. Here's another photo to sum up my love life.
