Fandom meme: favorite couples.
Sep. 28th, 2006 01:28 pm
Someone asked me who my favorite couples were. I'm not a huge fan of couples, I prefer liking characters on their own or duos that are funny and work great together without necessarly being in love.
Some of these are pretty canon, others are fanon, and some are just plain weird. Oddly enough, this does not even cover half of what i've read (I forgot Garulfo, Naruto and so many others aaaaah!) But it's still pretty representative of the couples I do like.
I,m a huge fan of the kenshin series, yet no couple in there really strikes my fancy. I like Kenshin and Kaoru enought I guess, but not really on a level that makes me go "ZOMG OTP!" I like how the story goes and the characters interact in general.
On another weird level, i'm a huge fan of female ranma and I think it sucks that she is not a "real" character. The only couple I love in Ranma (despite how incredibly fandom oriented that series is) is Mousse and Champoo. Mousse is the only character I think is really likeable. He's the only one with morals! Everybody else is twisted in some way. I was reading some of my old ranma books last week and I realised this series as the most flawed characters i've ever seen! (and what flaws!)
I also think Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi should have STAYED a girl because a girl with superhuman strenght would have been cooler then ANOTHER crossdresser. Not to mention using her in another coupling would have taking a bit of the story off Miaka and Tamaome and saved the plot a bit. And yes, i'm aware there is such a thing as gay relantionships, but Yuu Watase can't write those out worth a damn.
Other then that, did anybody ever see the OAV's of master of mosquiton? It's awesome anime. The tv series kinda sucks, but the OAV's are great. I wonder why this series is so little known...
