Fandom meme: favorite couples.

[secondlina]

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...

I love Shampoo, and female Ranma. *.* Oh, Kasumi, too, she isn't so twisted like the others. :/

Nuriko's like my favorite character from Fushigi Yuugi, and yes, I also wish he had stayed a female. Was disappointed when I found out she was just another cross-dresser, but he stayed as my favorite, anyway.

I remember watching like, one or two episodes of Master of Mosquiton in high school anime club YEARS ago. No idea if it was the TV or OAV, and I never found it in stores or at conventions....

Kasumi is TOO perfect. Among this cast of misfits, she looks like a big unuseful doll. I think Kasumi had a better personality in the anime, and at the beggining of the manga (what DID happen to that doctor that liked her? He just disapeared!)

Master of Mosquiton is badly treated anime. The Tv series is terrible though. Try to find the OAv on the net or something : worth it!

She is too perfect, I agree on this. Actually, she has more personality in the manga, too, as it goes further than the anime. I love the chapters where everyone thinks she gets mad and when she gets possessed by a demon. lol

I have no idea. Dr. Tofu, who was the family physician, just disappears, which is rather disappointing, I liked his personality, too. He always went crazy every time Kasumi was around, not that I blame him, she is a looker. ;)

I love Kikuko Inoue.
