It's around that special time of year again. Well it's a good day for couples but not for me, Valentines Day (V-Day)! Making this took longer than I thought so I know Valentines Day has already but I'll make a late post. So as usual I will post my lists of couples: worst, average, best, underrated, should've been couples, and couples from My Story. If you want to ship these couples from My Story, feel free to and I guarantee you they will be unsinkable (mostly). They must be the exact opposite of Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey, the greatest love story ever. Leave feedback if you want but CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY! I entitled to my opinion and you're entitled to yours too. I may reveal some endings so...

What makes a good couple
If you've read my past Valentines Day posts you probably already know what I expect out of a good couple. I will explain again if you haven't. It's about the chemistry between a couple and how good they are together and how lovable they are as a couple. What also matters is how much two people truly care about each other and if they'll go to the ends of the earth for one another. I usually prefer couples around the same age plus or minus a few years. I used to be attracted to girls my age but now I prefer slightly older women (NOT COUGARS!). It's cool and a guy becomes the talk of the town for scoring with an older girl. I like slightly older girl and slightly younger boy couples too. This is just a short summary and there's a lot more to romance.
Worst Couples (Let's get the worst outta the way first)
These are possibly some of the worst love stories but based on my previous V-Day posts you can probably guess who it will be.
Ana Steele + Christian Grey (50 Shades of Grey)-The only love story that could give Twilight a run for its money for worst lovestory.
Edward Cullen + Bella Swan (Twilight)-Every year I go over this couple and how terrible their love story is and everyone knows it.
Kirino Kousaka + Kyosuke Kasuga (Oreimo)-I'll put it simply, these two are blood-related brother and sister.
Best Couples/Most Popular Couples
Sakura Kinomoto + Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura)(Clear Card)- These two are a very popular couple and no one would forgive me if I made an anime couples list and not included these two. I haven't met anyone who has hated this couple. At first the two started off rivals but became friends. Then Syaoran started to have feelings for Sakura but Sakura didn't notice. Syaoran eventually confesses and in the Final Movie, The Sealed Card, Sakura returns his confession declaring she loves him too. Now these two are probably the most adorable couple together. Sakura's cute, Syaoran's cute (according to fangirls) and together they're even cuter.
Sakura + Syaoran (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)- Obviously I can't include CCS without also having these two. Sakura and Syaoran have known each other for a long time until Sakura loses her memories off Syaoran, and Syaoran must go on a quest to find them. Over the journey though Sakura seems to just fall in love with Syaoran all over again and they show how much they truly care for one another. The series itself shows how far Syaoran will go to help Sakura.
Inuyasha + Kagome Higurashi (Inuyasha)- No one would forgive me if I didn't include these two. Inuyasha and Kagome have mixed reviews and but a majority of people like them as a couple. Like many cliches they don't get along at first but of course things change. Inuyasha shows more sympathy and Kagome starts to care for Inuyasha. The two eventually start to through the hardships in their lives and every obstacle only makes them stronger.
Usagi Tsukino + Mamoru Chiba (Sailor Moon) (Crystal)- I know I keep saying this but no one will forgive if I don't include them. Sailor Moon was probably the most popular magical girl anime. While they initially don't like each other they begin to come to terms with their feelings. They are also incarnations of Princess Serenity and King Endymion. Mamoru breaks up with Usagi in order to protect her however, once they get back together they are an even stronger couple. Throughout the series we see how much they truly love and care about each other. In the end, Mamoru keeps his promise and they marry.
Banri Tada + Koko Kaga (Golden Time)- This is by one of the best romantic comedy anime I've seen. There are some different opinions on this couple but I put them here because I love these two as a couple. Banri and Koko hit it off pretty early in Golden Time. Of course there are conflicts as well. I know some people preferred for Banri to end up with Linda but the lesson in Golden Time is that childhood friends don't always end up together.
Underrated Couples
Nasa Yuzaki + Tsukasa Yuzaki (Tonikaku Kawaii/Tonkikawa: 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.
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.
Athanasia de Alger Obelia + Lucas (Who Made Me a Princess/Mofa gongzhu de xiao fannao)- -I've seen previews and clips of this anime and I don't know much yet. Fans are really hoping for something to happen between them.
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
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 18 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.
So that's a rap on my late valentines day post so here something to sum up my love life.
