Top 10 List Valentines Day Edition: Anime Couples

Hello all! With Valentines Day right around the corner I wanted to do some kind of Valentines Day post so here it is, Top 10 Anime Couples. Thanks a lot for everyone who's commented on a post of mine, it means a lot. Anyway, the guidelines for this one or fairly simple, I'll be including canon (actually in the anime) and non-canon couples. For Example a canon couple would be Light and Misa, they're a couple in the anime, and Ichigo and Rukia would be a non-canon couple since while it's implied they have feelings for each other they're not actually a couple in the anime. On that note there will be no yaoi/yuri couples since I hate both. Thats pretty-much all I have to say for now so I'll stop blabbering and start.

Number 10: Lelouch x Kallen (Code Geass)

Finally after flip-flopping my choice a bajillion times I decided on these two. Now please don't freak out, that picture really isn't as much of a spoiler as it looks if at all. But when I first started watching Code Geass a little over 2yrs ago, I liked Lelouch x Shirley a lot better....buuuut then I saw R2 and my choices switched to Kallen x Lelouch if for no other reason than they'd make so much better of a couple than Lelouch x Shirley. They work great together, have a mutual respect for each other and both want to protect each other to some extent. That and they're just so cute together, and I feel really bad for a lot of the shit they have to go through in their "relationship" especially in R2. Sadly though, as is the normal issue for Number 10 on these lists, I don't have much else to say.

Number 9: Kazuma x Ayano (Kaze no Stigma)

Hmmm I think my choice of text color clashes with Ayano's hair a bit...and I think something got mixed up with my headline code cuz it keeps switching sizes and I'm using the same code...eh oh well. Bottom line is these two are completely adorable and they're one of those non-canon couples who you can still see obvious signs of their feelings for each other throughout the anime. In fact they might actually become canon at some point, but either way.

These two actually would've gotten higher if it weren't for Ayano's constant PMS bitch-fits, but their cuteness really kicks up at the end of the series...along with everything else. They have several adorable moments sprinkled throughout the anime and even that typical random-bitch-who-wants-to-fuck-with-a-relationship that seems to invade most anime couples thus making me feel really bad for them. But they're able to overcome it and still be adorable, plus Ayano brings out Kazuma's rarely seen emotional side. I suppose they're simply caught up in the flames of love (ha ha, really lame pun...Ayano uses fire magic...oh never mind). Though honestly, how many people keep their eyes open like that when they kiss? I know I don't O.o

Number 8: Kazuki x Tokiko (Buso Renkin)

This was a very close almost tie between these guys and the last one especially because of all the scenes toward the end of the anime with these two it's adorable. Plus Mahiro helps them along as well at certain points. And there's no stupid bitchy character trying to get it between them like most other anime couples seem to have that pisses me off to no end >=(
They work so well together and Tokiko isn't really ever bitchy to Kazuki (that I can remember, I watched this about 3yrs ago) and they're always backing each other up and protecting eachother during the darkest of times like any good couple should. SPOILER!! They also have a scene that looks quite a lot like sex in outer space, it's quite strange especially for anime, when I saw it my first thought was immediatly 'SPACE SEX' END SPOILER!!


Number 7: Yuki x Tohru (Fruits Basket)

Now I'm pretty sure a lot of the fangirls aren't going to be very happy about this one, but to be honest I hate Kyo, and I think Tohru goes so much better with Yuki. He's much more caring, less of a dick, and they have more adorable moments than Kyo x Tohru. Take that picture for example, as far as I can remember, in the anime Kyo never had such an adorable moment with Tohru. Their personalities also fit together better than Kyo and Tohru because Yuki is more quiet and mild-mannered, just like Tohru. He's also more sensitive to her feelings...I guess Yuki is just an overall sensitive guy but not too much to the point where it gets obnoxious.

And if I'm not mistaken don't they even celebrate Valentines Day/White Day at some point in the anime? So they even fit the entire theme of this list: Valentines Day!

Number 6: Soul x Maka (Soul Eater)

This one is for you Sano cuz I know you like these two and honestly I think they're quite adorable as well. Its another one of those adorable 'best/childhood friend couple' scenarios that I love. And obviously given their resonance abilities they work damn good together. How could you possibly connect your soul to somebody that you're not emotionally connected to? Maybe thats why all the weapon/Meister pairs are opposite genders...ok while my mind runs away with that lets get back to the rant. Though seriously, they live together, how can there not be anything between them? Especially since they're shown to have obvious feelings for each other, especially Maka.
Number 5: Kakeru x Yuka (11Eyes)

Boy I'm just full of controversy and defying popular opinion tonight aren't I? Well who cares? I like Yuka and Kakeru better because they're childhood friends, Yuka is adorable and Misuzu is a hoe-bag (read my very first post). Yuka wants nothing more than to simply be loved by Kakeru and have her feelings returned and she constantly gets stepped on at every turn, poor Yuka. They're so adorable together and, maybe this is just me, but it's obvious that Kakeru cares a lot for her but is simply too busy either saving her, being raped by Misuzu or being shy to tell her. I can't even tell you how badly I wanted them to get together by the end of the series. Plus I have a soft spot for those 'childhood friend' relationships in anime, its so cute and these two would make such a great couple. Though for anyone who's read Nisioisin's Zaregoto series these two sort of remind me of Ii-chan and Kunagisa...whom I also want desperately to get together.

Number 4: Light x Misa (Death Note)
Despite what many people may think (again with the controversy) I honestly believe that Light genuinely cares about Misa, even though he claims just to use her, I really don't think that's the entire truth. They're cute together in a way...though thats probably mostly because of Misa trying to be adorable, so maybe I should say they have more of a romance rather than cuteness, which stands to reason given that they're a bit older than a lot of the other couples on this list. I honestly think Light simply denies loving her just because 1 thats how he is and 2 he figures that would show a weakness of his then. Really, if he didn't love her he woulda let her die long ago. In any event though, again, they live together, sleep together, have been together for years I don't think Light would be able to put up with that if he didn't love her, plus he's not that much of a man-whore. And that picture is just completely sweet, I loved that scene.

Number 3: Ed x Winry (FullMetal Alchemist)
More childhood friends. Are we seeing a pattern here or what? I think these two are probably among the more realistic ones in the way that while they have some truly adorable couple moments, they do fight at times too, they're not all sunshine and lollipops all the time. But in the end they do really care about eachother despite poking fun at each others hobbies/occupations from time to time. And again they're just one of those couples that you know really should be a couple but they're not officially...though then again I think if they were Winry would have even more fits about him traveling (I know that feeling) and all the Ed fangirls (Sandii) would be pissed. So in order to pacify the fangirls, lets just keep them this way and say how much they should be a couple and how adorable they are.

Number 2: Renji x Rukia (Bleach)

One more childhood friend couple for ya! And controversial to boot! I get double points with this one! Anyway though, there are certain points when I really feel so bad for Renji because I like this couple so much...like the entire Rescue Rukia Arc for one. But ever since I saw their flasback of them as kids in the Rukon District, from then on I thought they were the most adorable Bleach couple because of their long history and how much they really care about eachother. Rukia also generally treats Renji with more respect where as she constantly lectures Ichigo as if he's a child. Though several times in the series it seems like he just wants to grab Rukia, pick her up, kiss her and finally proclaim his love to her...and that would be amazing and totally should happen aside from the fact that it's a Shounen anime. Plus I can picture Renji being super romantic and sweet and caring yet passionate with her, so that just makes them even better.

Number 1: Inuyasha x Kagome (InuYasha)

Anybody who knows me could probably guess this was going to be it as these two are hands down my favorite couple in anime, not even so much because of the characters themselves but because I have a personal soft spot for them because of my boyfriend and I. But these two are so strong together and when something is major they are tolerant of each other's feelings...though extremely intolerant with minor things, go figure. I remember getting so upset watching InuYasha whenever Kikyo would come back and Inuyasha would be a complete dickhole and want to be with her again, but I could never get enough of the super sweet Inuyasha x Kagome moments throughout the show. And for anybody who knows the ending of the manga or second anime series that's just even better. So with that Inuyasha and Kagome are my #1 anime couple. Boooo to Inuyasha x Kikyo and most definitely Inuyasha x Sesshomaru (and all yaoi for that matter)!
