• Jimbo’s List of Anime Couples That Should Be: 2

  Past installments

  29 Jan 2007

  SPOILER ALERT!

  I had a lot of fun with the first one of these I did, so I
  thought I would bring it up again. I watch a lot of cheesy romance anime, so I
  figured I would have another go at selecting various characters that should’ve been together, but didn’t.
  Here we go.

  Sara & Sedi

  Soukou no Strain

  

  If this couple stayed together, then this anime would have
  been totally different. It would have
  changed from a banal mech-anime, to a fun romantic-comedy involving mechs. It
  could have been a struggle for the lame Sedi to win over the top student in the
  academy, Sara. It could’ve been full of montages, happy-go-lucky music, and
  overused expressions. Instead, Sedi gets himself killed in the very first
  episode. Crap.

  Seiji & Ayase

  Midori Days

  

  To be honest, while I was watching Seiji and Midori’s story
  unfold, I was always rooting for Ayase. Midori was just so… lame. Ayase just
  had more pizzazz. She made the series more fun with her various schemes, when a
  simple announcement would suffice. So she waits until the end of the series,
  and forces Seiji to become a Mayan priest and rip her heart out. At least in
  the manga, she has a fall-back guy.

  Mamoru &
  Emelenzia

  Mamoru-kun ni Megami
  no Shukufuku wo

  

  I can’t seem to explain it, but I am totally moé for deadpan
  attitudes. Yuki, Rei, Mai, and now Emelenzia. It must be some kind of a
  disease. Anyway, I just think these two would look good together. First off,
  the official couple of the anime is a little… weird-looking. Emelenzia is at
  least at Mamoru’s shortness. She’s also roughly the same age, so it should all
  work out.

  Kei & Herikawa

  Onegai Teacher

  

  This is another one of those instances where the primary
  couple is just weird. I don’t care what the circumstances are; student and
  teacher should not be together in that way. This seems like a more stable
  couple. In this particular scene, she is clearly saying to Kei “I’d dress like
  a whore for you.”

  And that’s it for this installment. I hope it wasn’t too
  long. I might do another one of these if the mood strikes me.
