Me too, Epi. There is nothing to the idea of pairing Hinata and Neji. I'm fine with incest, but justified incest. All of the incest pairings on SKU are fine examples of justified incest. I mean, good grief, Neji spent the first 70 episodes hating her, damn near killing her in the process. Now we're expected to believe they pair up willingly, especially with Hinata being a raging Naruto-sexual? I'd buy it if it was an arranged marriage, but it'd still be a loveless one.

Oh, and since we're talking Naruto, I don't like Sakura with Naruto or Sasuke. She's never going to do anything impressive enough to make Sasuke get his head out of his ass, and she's never going to be in love with Naruto. Besides, I'm too much of a Sakura/Ino, Naruto/Sasuke, Naruto/Hinata fan to think otherwise.

Oh, and I don't like Shikamaru/Ino, but I'm afraid that's what will happen. They always say that men marry women that remind them of their mother.


Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.

I have read 9 volumes of the series and I still don't aprove it!!! emot-gonk Those guys just have ZERO chemistry!!! And the only reason they seem to be a almost-canon pairing is because Clamp said so, everybody in the cast says that they seem to get along really well but they don't!! They are totally imcompatible!!! It's true they have learned about each other but knowing another person is not the same as falling in love.

Re: Worst Anime Couples (canon or fandom)

I mean, I know there is a lot of hard core fans out there of Asuka and Rei from Eva being an item... But I think it's pretty creepy. Rei's like an emotionless doll, and Asuka is a 3/4's German bitch, and the whole thing just seems kind of off to me. But I dunno, that's just my opinion.

I don't think that anyone's suggesting them being a canon couple. I mean, Rei barely even acknowledges Asuka's existance in the series while Asuka loathes Rei for being so doll-like.

Rei's not emotionless, though. She's unable to express her emotions. There's a difference.

True, you have to remember that there ARE times when Rei smiles, and the moment before her death, she sort of "cried".
Personally, I'm more in favor of Shinji and Rei instead of Shinji and Asuka. I feel that the latter two were just being randomly slapped together without really having a connection besides the fact that Asuka is the only one who has the guts to beat Shinji to a bloody pulp.

Yeah... You're right. But in all honest truth, I don't think anyone on that show is good for each other. They're all so damn emo (but I guess with all that's going on it can't really be helped, huh?).

Agreed. Hell, you could argue that Shinji and Rei'd be a bit on the incestuous, or even Oedipal side as a couple - Rei's a clone with DNA of Shinji's dead mother and Lilith.
Still, there isn't much time for any kind of romance in Eva. Everybody's too busy in having a nervous breakdown to bother about relationships. And besides, there's something twisted and disturbing in every possible relationship shown. Kind of like Utena, actually. emot-rolleyes

Sorry for the spoilers, BTW, but it's been over ten years since the series came out - it really shouldn't be a big deal, any more.

This is kind of random, but...

Why did Aragorn choose Arwyn over Eowyn? Arwyn kicked ass in the first movie, and just turned into the damsel in distress from there.

That's something you'd have to ask Tolkien. Romance, in my opinion, wasn't the biggest element in LOTR, so I don't feel he puts a lot of thoughts into romantic relationships.

Re: Worst Anime Couples (canon or fandom)

Meh, I didn't like Arwen very much anyway, so I have no idea.

Edit: But it worked out for the best, because Faramir was far better for Eowyn than Aragorn. IMO. That's probably just me being biased though, because I love Faramir with all my heart.

Well in then book she neither kicked ass, neither was a damsel in distress, actually... she did nothing worth mentioning.
And Eowyn didn't had a crush on Aragorn, and how she met Faramir and both fell in love was showed in the books.

Re: Worst Anime Couples (canon or fandom)

Also, through Arwen's and Aragorn's relationship they were able to bring elves closer to humans and end the feud between them (or something like that, I can't really remember).

It's more one-sided, actually. Doumeki has strong feelings for Watanuki, but not necessary romantic, but definitely extremely protective. He, in some people's opinion, is the NICE version of Seishirou

Actually Eowyn did have a crush on Aragorn in the book. Nothing more came of it than in the book, though. Arwen wasn't present in the books for most part, since Tolkien couldn't find a space to put her into, so he incorporated her story in the appendix. Aragorn chose Arwen because he had known her since his youth, they'd been in love all that time and as a bonus, it was the destiny.

Also, through Arwen's and Aragorn's relationship they were able to bring elves closer to humans and end the feud between them (or something like that, I can't really remember).

Huh? There was no feud of any kind in the books and elves were already dissapearing from Middle-Earth so there wasn't exactly a chance for any to form. It was just one of the few unions between the two races - there were three in the whole history, if I remember correctly.
