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".

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.

Boku no Pico

Also >>3 is a serious answer. You fail at "shoujo-ai".

Satou Sei and the others are from "Maria-sama ga Miteru."

[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!!

16 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-10-24 01:55 ID:OhYC1m5D

Light and L are my favourite couple.

17 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-10-25 15:03 ID:mFqoZWPT

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!

18 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-10-25 15:40 ID:Heaven

> 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.

19 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-10-25 22:54 ID:I6mbeZ3o

>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

21 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-10-26 07:48 ID:Heaven

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?

There is a certain appealing symmetry of silliness to it, yes.

PS >>18,21 has the world's strongest zingers.

Ugh, I hate the term 'shipper'. Go write bad Voyager fanfiction.

24 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-11-02 07:59 ID:dr/6Cmd7

love shounen ai and shoujo ai, don't want to say my favorites for undisclosed purposes, but i tend to like unpopular/bashed pairings. :(

25 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-11-02 08:03 ID:Heaven

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.

26 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-11-02 18:14 ID:Heaven

well, yaoi is an abbreviation of a phrase meaning "no climax, no punch line, no meaning"

nothing wrong with yuri though

27 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-11-02 19:58 ID:Heaven

>>26

Yeah, but everybody alive today refers to yaoi as homoerotic fiction.

BL and Yuri if you wish.
