I'd like to know about your favourite couples, it doesn't matter if they didn't end up together!!! My favourite couples are:

Sakura & Syaoran- Tsubasa Chronicle
Ed & Winry- FMA
Roy & Riza- FMA
Yuki & Touya- CCS
Sakura & Syaoran- CCS
Serena & Seiya- Sailor Moon Stars
Tōru & Yuki- Fruits Basket
Zagato & Emeraude- Magic Rayearth Knight
Chii & Hideki- Chobits

Kaoru Hanabishi and Aoi Sakuraba (Ai Yori Aoshi) hands down. They're rather (no, extremely) impeded by Aoi's family, but their devotion is top-notch.

EDIT: However, now that I think about it, Aoi's devotion to (no, obsession with) Kaoru is kind of worrisome at times.

Yeah! lol

- Jonouchi/Joey and Mai from Yu-Gi-Oh
- Miroku and Sango from Inuyasha
- Ed and Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist
- Keitaro and Naru from Love Hina

Lupin & Fujiko, although Fujiko never made it super clear that she wanted him for more than just the money.

Ah, haha. I think Fujiko made it very clear she was in it for money. Not to Lupin, perhaps, but everyone with more sense than Lupin.

I thought of another nice couple just now: Sana Hidaka and Nanaka Yatsushiro, of Myself; Yourself fame. Both of them had been terminally (yes, I mean that as in life and death) depressed for a fair amount of time. You might say they're perfect for each other.

Just about every other couple seen in that light novel / anime are of questionable taste: Hinako raises Asami's cousin starting from when she's 11, (he's 5 years younger than her, but they appear as a couple in the epilogue), and then there's Syusuke and Syuri... who are fraternal twins that run off together. Despite their previously suicidal ambitions, Sana and Nanaka really are the only "normal" couple.

By the way, Danielle, were Tōru and Yuki (Fruits Basket) really that suited for each other? I never read the manga, and the anime was ambiguous at best.

here are the list of my favorite anime/manga couple:
ouran: haruhi fujioka - tamaki suoh
gundam seed: athrun zala - cagalli yula-attha
gundam seed: kira yamato - lacus clyne
gundam seed: miriallia - dearka
naruto : naruto - hinata
naruto : sasuke - sakura
slamdunk : sakuragi - haruko

Well Sufijo... I haven't read the whole manga XD I've just started >.<, but I've seen the anime and they really look so sweet together. I also liked the relationship between Tōru & Kyo, but I just loved how Yuki and Tōru helped each other, how they enjoyed the time together... I don't know... They just looked so sweet to me......

Besides... I love Kyo *o*... so I prefer seeing Tōru and Yuki ^-^ lol

Heh, I see. Despite his more pronounced curse, I always thought of Kyo as a grouch and a bit of a whiner-- that was my logic for backing Yuki.

Keeping up with my pace of adding one unique couple per post, try Risa and Atsushi from Lovely Complex. It took forever for their relationship to develop, but it was all the more satisfying that way.

At first I was going to mention something from the more modern animes Kimikiss Pure Rouge or True Tears, but I hated whatshisface for dumping Hoshino for Mao, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for Noe, who was left by herself (respectively). Even though Hiromi was always far superior (and less crazy) in comparison to Noe, Noe's situation by the end is miserable.

I haven't seen those yet!! *o* I think I'll try to see them soon!!!

You haven't seen Lovely Complex? It's a great shōjo anime/manga. From what I remember, anyway.

Shojo and josei are somewhat hard to come by on the interwebs. In my exceedingly excellent Excel file where I store information about anime I've watched, however, shojo and josei have a higher average rating (4.2 and 4.5 out of 5, versus 3.4 and 3.7 for shonen/seinen); so, apparently, what appears online is quite good. Not really my favorite drawing style, but the plots are always good.

Unfortunately, Lovely Complex might be a little hard to find. I think it's possible to see the entire series with a good amount of effort and resources.

mmm... I'll try to find it.. I don't think I'll be that lucky to find it on you tube... but I'm pretty sure it has to be somewhere... (the internet is just to big!! >.<) thanx!!

Ah, my recommendation is using Veoh and customizing your search with the language tab in the bottom left corner of their searching results screen. From there you can select English subtitles. It's extremely useful.

It seems like no one person has uploaded the entire series, but it's spread across multiple accounts.

Shinichi and Ran from Detective Conan.

They're the couple of my childhood afterall!

Considering that they're STILL not together just shows how long Detective Conan is LOL!

Naru and Keitaro from Love Hina
Sousuke and Chidori from Full Metal Panic!

Really the only 2 that pop into my head at the moment.

Kouta & Lucy/nyuu - Elfen lied

They are look like a bunch of sluts to me.

Umm..

Tohru/Kyo - Fruits Basket
Cheza/Kiba - Wolf's Rain
Robin/Amon - Witch Hunter's Robin
Haruhi/Tamaki - Ouran High School Host Club
Kagura/Saiga - Speed Grapher

Souichiro Nagi and Aya Natsume in Tenjho Tenge.
Why?
They were completely frickin' hilarious. :D

Kyoko Otonashi & Yusuku Godai from Maison Ikkoku

Mmm... From Chobits it could add these:
Shimbo and Tatako
Yumi Oumura and Ueda
*Yumi and Ueda
Dita and Jima (My favorite cuple!)

*See Episode 21 - Chii Waits and Episode 24 - "Chii Changes Clothes". Ueda had a Persocom that loved her Badly and named her Yumi. That Yumi is NOT Yumi Oumura

My favorites are:

Sakura & Syoaran - Tsubasa Chronicle
Sakura & Syoaran - Card Captor Sakura
Fai & Kurogane - Tsubasa Chronicle
Heero & Relena - Gundam Wing

My Fav's In order

Rosette X Chrono - Chrno Crusade

Tohno Shiki x Kohaku (Tsukihime)
Emiya Shirou x Saber (Fate/Stay Night)
Negi Springfield x Nodoka Miyazaki (Mahou Sensei Negima!)

harlock and maya (harlock series).. they truly loved each other, so much harlock almost died for just wanting to be close to her.

kaoru hanabishi and aoi sakuraba (ai yori aoshi): they are the manga/anime portrayal of the couple want to be with my GF (if i get one again), minus the "parents dont agree with the relatinship" thing.
keitaro urashima and mutsumi otohime (love hina): yes, i know he ended up with naru, but i would have prefered he ended up with mutsumi, the two of them share so much in common, and she IS the girl he dreamed all this time (though it was naru who he made the promise with, the girl in her dreams was mutsumi, he just mixed these two factors in mutsumi)

Kyon x Nagato Yuki (Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi)
blah blah blah

Y'know, I was under the impression that this thread dealt with canonical couples.

...
Naruto x Sakura(Naruto)

I'm hoping that something of this sort doesn't actually happen, and you missed a few informative posts.

You know, anyone who names a couple from Gundam Wing always lists Heero and Relena, or Zechs and Noin. They're alright, but you always knew that they'd be together. No, the best couples in Gundam Wing have got to be:
Dorothy and Quatre
Duo and Deathscythe
And outside of Gundam Wing, I'm a big fan of
Misato and Kaji (Evangelion)
Sagara and Chidori (FMP)
Kenshin and Tomoe (Ruroni Kenshin/ Samurai X)

Athrun x Cagalli(Gundam Seed)
Kenshin x Kaoru(Rurouni Kenshin)
Kira x Lacus(Gundam Seed)
Ed x Winry(Fullmetal Alchemist)
Roy x Riza(Fullmetal Alchemist)

Kaname x Sagara(Full Metal Panic)

Gotta love those two...

You confuse me, Sufijo. What 'informative posts' did I miss?

Oh, and the reason I posted Naruto with Sakura OR Hinata is because we have different preferences; I'm hoping for Hinata, and she's rooting for Sakura.

Hmm..

Haruhi x Tamaki: Ouran High School Host Club
Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu: Vampire Knight

I'm sure I have many favorite couples.. but this is for now.. ALSO.. I wouldn't mind..

Haruhi x Hikaru: Ouran High School Host Club. <3

My favorite couples are:
YuukixZero (vampire Knight)
TohruxKyo (Fruits basket)
KeiichixRena (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni)
ShionxSatoshi (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni)
HaruhixTamaki (HOst club)
EdwardxWinry (Full metal alchemist)
NarutoXHinata (naturo)
SakuraxRock Lee (Naruto)

Lol, that's it. I guess. ;P

...FRIEND! =0 We have the same preferences on anime couples. T_T

Ah.... I was completely mistaken. For some reason (wishful thinking, perhaps), I thought this thread was about favorite canonical couples. Apparently, it could be just anybody you think would go well together.

Something about giving that much free reign reminds me of fan fiction, which always leaves me with a bad taste.

hmm favourite couples..well I always want the weirdest characters to be together and they never do xD but I guess I could say:

Rosette and Chrno, from Chrno Crusade;
Aoi Nagisa and Hanazono Shizuma, from Strawberry Panic!;
Spike and Julia, from Cowboy Bebop;
Kamina Ayato and Shitow Haruka, from RahXephon..

Surely I'll remember a few more later.

Ja ne \o

In no particular order:
Kenshin Himura & Kaoru Kimiya (RK)
Goku & Chi-Chi (DBZ)
Roy & Riza (FMA)
Ed & Winry (FMA)
L & Light Yagame (Death Note) (not really a "relationship" as meant here but they have a strange chemistry that is all there own that I think singles them out as unique. Their dynamic makes them enthralling and a sight to behold.)
Miroku & Sango (INUYASHA)
Van Flyheight & Fiona Elisi Lanette (Z:CC)
Shishio Makoto & Komogata Yumi (RK) (their relationship is a special one that, even though ends badly, I believe, is all about dedication, honor, multifaceted commitment & dignity of self)
Makimachi Misao & Shinomori Aoshi (RK)

If I think of anymore I will be sure to post them.

The best couple I've ever seen are Kyon and Haruhi (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya). :3 They're so cute. x3

Let me ask one question: are you making this conclusion based on the anime or manga?

Let me ask one question: are you making this conclusion based on the anime or manga?

Was that for me? If yes: Anime. ^^
And I don't think that they'll ever be a couple. I just like how they look together. Kyon would probably be dominated by Haruhi if they actually were a couple. Oo

Ahahaha, I see. Yeah, it occurred to me that a guy forced to entertain a girl to avoid the destruction of the universe would not easily be capable of enjoying her company, no matter how tsundere she was. I guess they do look good together, though.

I've never read the manga, erm, light novels, so I don't know how well they fare in the long run.

ed and winry are cousins retard.

Sonic and Amy FTW

Boota x Yoko's breasts - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

...what?

ed and winry are cousins retard.

Sonic and Amy FTW

They're not!! RETARD!!

I think Sakura fits Naruto better than Hina, Rukia and Ichigo would be nice together too, Rangiku and Hitsugaya.

And I would like too see Yuki Cross make up her mind, I hate that kind of indecisive girls..........damn.............She only whines and cries on that manga...

Shuji & Chise - Saikano
Noboru & Mikako - Voices of a Distant Star
Ranma & Akane - Ranma 1/2
Yano & Nanami - Bokura Ga Ita

My favorite couple of anime is Ryuiki and Shuerie of Color Clause Palace
