[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="Sienna"]So, do any of you have any favorite pairings from the anime/video games you watch/play? Lol, I'm not sure if this is going to be considered weird or not. xD I always tell myself I'm not a romantic person, but I always end up liking most of the couples in
anime/movies/shows/books/games/you get the point by now. Here are some of my favorites.
InuYasha and Kagome (InuYasha)
Kyou and Tohru (Fruit's Basket)
Naruto and Sakura (Naruto)
Zack and Aerith (FF7: CC)
Cloud and Tifa (FF7: AC)
Hige and Blue (Wolf's Rain)
Ed and Winry (FMA)
Austria and Hungary (APH)
So what about you guys and girls now? I know, I seriously put up the strangest threads.

Wha...what??! Do you mean Wolfwood and
Millie? Meryl and Wolfwood would be a very interesting pairing, though, I have to say...

Whoops. I meant Millie. Sorry. It's edited now

Oh, I like some of those to! Very interesting indeed. What do you think about fan-pairings though? I tend to like those to. I like Kiba and Hinata together in Naruto, but they're not really what I'd consider canon.

Bah, Sakura x Tomoyo is 100% canon. I haven't seen many Tomoyo x Meilin supporters though. But I don't remember much of the anime (though I did watch it), and of course Meilin wasn't in the manga, so...I don't recall any specific support for that pairing in the anime. Unlike Tomoyo who is constantly creating outfits for Sakura, recording her, watching the recordings in her own private theater...yeah, like I said. Sakura x Tomoyo is canon. XP

Okay fine. Link x Ruto. There. :p That one's canon too!

I don't mind the idea of speculating on an alternate universe.
I'd have to say Tomoyo and Tomoya. For some reason, I just liked that paring better than Nagisa. XD

Then you might be interested in Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life, or at least the manga version.

And since I apparently missed this earlier...
TWWK wrote:Tenchi x Kiyone (Tenchi Muyo!)
What? What?! No. No no no. Absolutely NOT. Though admittedly, I'm biased because I hate Kiyone, I think she's the worst character in the show, which is another one of the reasons I vastly prefer Tenchi Muyo to Tenchi Universe, as Kiyone isn't in Muyo (except as a joke in one of the specials).
I support Tenchi x Ayeka. Which probably is one of the more disliked pairings I'm sure since so many people seem to hate Ayeka (at least from my experience).
Since I failed to mention a pairing from my favorite anime, I'll go ahead and do that now.
Miaka x Hotohori
I dunno. I never really felt any chemistry between Miaka and Tamahome until way later in the series even though they had set up before that they were supposed to be together. I thought Hotohori treated her far better, even if it was admittedly for slightly selfish reasons...but during the flashback where Hotohori is talking about how he's so alone, and has no one to love him or that he can love, and he hopes the priestess can be with him...I really felt bad for him. I wished she had ended up with him.

MWAHAHAHA, Yes. Yes yes yes. They are like-minded and she's the only one not after him! I love it! And though Kiyone has little personality, she was probably my first "anime crush" from my favorite show.
I like Aeka, too. I prefer that pairing to Tenchi x Ryoko.

I've never felt too strongly about any anime/video game/what-have-you pairing, mostly because I don't often see any romantic tension fascinating enough to be very remarkable. Which is probably why the love triangle of FF7 fame is one of the few that have caught my attention. I probably just haven't watched the right series yet.
Cursed thread title... now I want a glass of wine.

[color="Plum"]Usagi and Mamoru - Sailor Moon
Miaka and Tamahome - Fushigi Yugi
Videl and Gohan - Dragon Ball Z
Ichigo and Masaya - Tokyo Mew Mew
Valese(Palace in japanese) and Goten - Dragon Ball GT
Ayeka and Tenchi - Tenchi Muyo/Universe
Sakura and Naruto - Naruto/Shippuden
That's all for now until I watch more anime and finish the ones I started that I stopped watching.[/color]

I'll think of more later...

Okay, I'm a romantic at heart, and can't help but appreciate almost every pairing I come across..except the ones I would consider "immoral" lol. But, there are MANY pairings that I love such as:
Sora x Kairi (Kingdom Hearts series)
Katara x Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender. Not really an anime, but I LOVE this pairing so much)
Sokka x Suki (Avatar the Last Airbender)
Syaoran x Sakura (Tsubasa Chronicles. So KAWAII!!!)
Robin x Starfire (Teen Titans)
Every single Ghibli pairing EVAR!!! Howl x Sophie, Shizuku x Seiji, Chihiro x Haku, Patzu x Sheeta, Nausicaa x Asbel, Porco x Gina, Ponyo x Souske, Kiki x Tombo
Nana x Husky (+Anima)
Akari x Hikaru or Akira x Akari (Hikaru no Go...I can't choose!!!)
Main couple in Cross Game
Hiroki x Ryo (Princess Nine...IDK if it's canon or not, but I like it for some reason. Mostly because I like Hiroki so much...partially because Vic Mignogna plays him. lol)
Locke x Sonia (Game Plan)
Shaun x Emma (Skipping Tomorrows)
Yoko x Rakushun (Twelve Kingdoms...COME ON! They hinted at it a little, give it some time it could happen. XD!)
I've yet to get into any anime alternate pairings yet, cause I always tend to fall for the main couple...however, I have a few Disney alternate pairings that I like such as Ariel x Jim Hawkins...don't you judge me. >.>
Okay, now there are also pairings that I appreciate, but I can't count them in my favorites because either I've not seen enough of the anime/manga/game to really like them, or they're just NOT my favorite pairings in general.
Tamaki x Haruhi (Ouran Highschool Host Club. I can't help but love them, and I've never even SEEN the anime...I may be biased because Tamaki is played by Vic Mignogna)
Ed x Winry (FMA...I KNOW I'm going to love this pairing as I watch more of the series)
Roy x Riza (FMA...see above)
Rinoa x Squall (FF8...I NEED to watch this on youtube soon)
Tidus x Yuna (FF?...can I just say that they look so KAWAII!!!)
Zuko x Toph (Avatar: The Last Airbender...DON'T YOU JUDGE ME!!! Come ON! So there's a 3 or 4 year age difference, big whoop!)
Zuko x Mai (Avatar: The Last Airbender...call me a hypocrite, but as much as I disliked this pairing at first, I found that I could actually appreciate it if I looked at it differently)
Sokka x Yue (Avatar: The Last Airbender...AAaawww! I love them so much!)
Ooo, I shall come back with more!

This would be a nice one if Sora x Riku wasn't so blatantly forced at the end of the second game. XD
Rinoa x Squall
Ew, ew, ew. Worst chemistry EVER. Especially since Squall is totally gay. And I can prove it.
Okay, so we're on Ragnarok. The spaceship. Rinoa and Squall. TOTALLY alone together. Completely. They turn off the gravity for some reason (I don't remember).
Rinoa floats out of her seat.
Lands on Squall's lap.
Puts her arms around his neck.
Gazes longingly into his eyes.
His response:
"Go back to your seat and put your seatbelt on."
SEE? Proof positive. You cannot argue with this.
Although I suppose it's understandable, seeing as how all of Final Fantasy 8 after disc one is Squall having a dream before he dies since he was impaled by a block of ice through the chest.

That's not the canon pairing. If you read the manga it's based off of, she's with someone totally different- it just seems like it's this guy because he's in the first movie, which was based off the first volume of the manga. And that manga was written by Miyazaki, so...
