Post your favorite female couples and male couples in anime.
Fun fact: Neither "shoujo-ai" nor "shounen-ai" are actual Japanese terms for these things. The Japanese use the English "boy's love" for "shounen-ai". "Shoujo-ai" is a real term, but it is rare, and actually refers to pedophilia.
If you want to talk Japanese, say "yaoi" and "yuri".
I like Tsukasa and Subaru from .hack//SIGN.
For a yaoi/shonen ai couple. I like L and Light from Death Note
Four posts in and not a single mention of Satou Sei? Something is wrong with the world.
Satou Sei and Kuro Shiori, or Satou Sei and Yumi Fukuzawa (Just for laughs).
>>5 Kuro = Kubo. I feel so bad for the typo. Poor Shiori. Then again, it is 6AM.
And? Just because some westerner uses it in as a website name does not mean it's an actual Japanese word.
I love how half these threads end up in translation debates.

At last! A serious anwwer!
What's the name of the anime those characters are from?
sasuke and naruto
L and Light
hitachiin brothers
Satou Sei and the others are from "Maria-sama ga Miteru."
I tend to ignore all posts with heaven id because it appears they are flamers most of the times
[shoujo ai couple] Utena Tenjou and Anthy Himemiya from Revolutionary girl Utena
Don't do that! People who post with sage are sometimes following the "sage=polite" rule!!
Light and L are my favourite couple.
I really really like Haruka Tenoh and Michiru Kaiou from Sailormoon as a shojou-ai couple :D huwaaa I've been a shipper of them for the longest time and I was around grade 3 when I realized they we're a couple. I didn't think it was bad then even now!
> shipper
i take it this means you stowed away on a freight ship to japan in order to meet them and have a threesome.
you must have been disappointed.
>The Japanese use the English "boy's love" for "shounen-ai".
And we use the Japanese term. Makes sense. :p
:P
shipper would mean a person who supports a pairing and "promote" them as in to "ship" them as a couple
so in other words you've reduced romantic love to a consumer good which can be fabricated to order, manufactured on demand, and shipped to customers worldwide?
Ugh, I hate the term 'shipper'. Go write bad Voyager fanfiction.
love shounen ai and shoujo ai, don't want to say my favorites for undisclosed purposes, but i tend to like unpopular/bashed pairings. :(
ugh, an other unwanted semantics debate, but I can't resist,
What's wrong with Yaoi and Yuri?
It's easier to say and it doesn't sound as dumb.
well, yaoi is an abbreviation of a phrase meaning "no climax, no punch line, no meaning"
nothing wrong with yuri though
