I did a Simoun rewatch with my friends, which was hazardous to my emotional health. I've been on a Rodoreamon x Mamiina kick for...weeks, now. (Aaeru x Neviril, Dominura x Limone, Morinas x Wapourif, fucked-up Alti x Kaimu, and to a ridiculously tragic and clearly non-sexual extent Yun x Onashia too, obviously).

Nothing wrong with a bit of sisterly love. :3

It's them in particular who are fucked up. XD

 Rue & Mytho from Princess Tutu
Spoiler: show
 Interestingly enough, they were a couple from the start, but my opinion about them couldn't have changed more drastically by the end. At first I thought they were a really pointless and absurd couple that made no sense whatsoever. :D

 Then, when I finally started thinking they could work well together, I had this feeling it was gonna be pretty one sided and tragic, since Mytho was set to pick Tutu instead and, as an audience, we were supposed to cheer for the protagonist. ^^;

 It was awesome how things were resolved in the anime so the 4 main characters came out winning and no one was left heartbroken. I thought it was really inspiring how Rue and Mytho were able to overcome their inner darkness and get together at the end, admittedly not without help from Ahiru and Fakir, but I believe their love for each other played a very important part in it aswell. ^^

Well I know that this will come as a surprise here, but my #1 all time favorite pairing is....

Kirika and Prince Myshkin from Noir



... just kidding my favorite pairing is really:

Mireille + Kirika (yes in a yuri way) from Noir. The Prince Myshkin pairing is a close second though.

Ellis + Nadie. Ricardo says it best 'those two shouldn't be apart.'

Ricardo + Lirio. In a healthy father daughter way of course.

Chloe + Altena, but in a twisted yet non-sexual way. They are just the perfect villain pair in an Anime series.

From non Bee Train series:

Kumakura, Mariko & Oohashi, Akiko from Girlfriends. These two come close to Kirika and Mireille as a love story.

Natsuki Kuga + Shizuru Fujino from Mai-Hime and My-Otome. The yuri in the relationship is very wrong at the start in Mai-Hime, but the way Natsuki gets through to her at the end and how they both disappear after she defeats her was really well done. One of the best moments in the series.

Haruka + Michiru from Sailor Moon. These two are obvious soul mates even though its never clear if they have a physical relationship.

Kyosuke and Madoka from Kimagure Orange Road.

Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev from Slayers.

Aaeru x Neviril from Simoun. (Bee Train would have done this anime so much better.)

Yakumo and Pai from 3x3 Eyes.

Makoto and Ifurita from El Hazard.

Keiichi and Belldandy from Ah My Goddess.

Chibi-Urd, and Shohei from Ah My Goddess.

Hikaru and Lantis from Magic Knights Rayearth.

Um, I'd say it's pretty clear...

I would say it's highly likely given the emotion between them, but they never kiss and there is no scene that implies that they sleep in the same bed. Unless it was in a special that I have never seen. I do remember a scene where Haruka is looking after a sick Michiru in a hotel room that they clearly share, but there were two beds.

WRONG! I mean it's not very correct.

It was their special, where Michiru was looking after sick Haruka in a hotel room. And they had one bed (pretty wide), as far as I can remember.
(and Haruka was picking on some maid, and them Michiru suddenly came in and lulz ensued)

I'd say it's pretty clear too. Yes, there aren't any kissing scenes (there are scene with Haruka kissing Usagi, but none with her kissing Michiru!) but hey - they're not public workers.

And that line in one of Takeuchi's interview, that "they have more time for that..." ...aw.

Ah, btw: Haruka x Usagi! Their relationship was pretty... neat in manga.

But not with tearing apart and closing other relationships, oh no.

I've seen it then, but I don't remember a single bed. If I have it I have it on tape I'm pretty sure, but no longer have a player.

I'd say it's pretty clear too. Yes, there aren't any kissing scenes (there are scene with Haruka kissing Usagi, but none with her kissing Michiru!) but hey - they're not public workers.

I'm only on vol 6 of the manga. I do like to see them that way hence my inclusion of them as a couple, but it can be hard to tell if the relationship has sex or not in Anime since the Japanese are so polite about romance imagery.

Demitri Maximoff x Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers

Spoiler: show
And again I got myself into a tiny boat! Even the 3rd game kind of broke their relationship, and in anime it evolves by innuendos. "I've been thinking that I love strong men, but here I came myself for the one who lost..."

Demitri is a mighty vampire who wants to... rule the (demon) world! of course!
And Morrigan is a mighty succubus who is the heir of the ruler of the demon world but just wants to have fun!

Vampire + succubus = fun! I wonder what kind of kids they will have.

Aww, feels, feels, feels!

Akira & Takumi from Mai-HiME
Spoiler: show
 I particularly like this pairing for the unconventional gender roles, even though on Akira's side it's mostly justified by her having to pose as a male most of the time. I love how they were being shipped as a yaoi couple by some of their classmates! Some people just go well together, regardless of gender. :D

 Mullin & Dunya from Last Exile
Spoiler: show
Granted, neither of them plays a very big role in the anime, but the bond they develop as two expendable soldiers struggling to survive and looking after each other in the battlefield was just really sweet and genuine and rewarding, specially for Mullin who had been so romantically frustrated and forced into comical relief, doomed never to have the recognition he felt he deserved, up until then. How very trollish of the series to have the viewer believe he died on episode 23, only to reveal at the last few minutes of the final episode that he had actually survived. I couldn't have been happier! :D


 Dio & Lucciola from Last Exile
Spoiler: show
OK, so they're not exactly a romantic couple and not exactly BFFs, even though they are allways together, but however you wanna classify their partnership I thought their development was one of the most touching moments in the show. When we finally get to learn more about their bond (through adorable chibi flashbacks no less) I felt it was such a waste their relationship had been so underplayed till then. Surely enough they timed it just right for me to care enough for Lucciola to feel sad when he sacrificed his life just to give Dio a chance to be free and to be himself again. How very tragic. :'(

Spoiler: show
Certainly a cute couple, but Mullin pushing Dunya out of danger in the final battle does show how the 'battle couple' trope doesn't always work out. I was less suprised at Mullin surviving the batttle than at Dunya not killing him afterwards...

Just read Milk Morinaga's 'Girlfriends,' and added the main characters to my list of couples. I highly recommend this manga for lovers of yuri. I would characterize their love story as being close to Kirika and Mireille, or the one in Simoun.

The manga itself is intended as a romantic love story, so in many ways it exceeds that of Noir in that particular respect. At the same time K&M have a lot more to overcome along the way to their happy ending. In many ways the darkness that they exist within and must ultimately lead each other out of places Noir in a class of it's own where the human ideal for love is concerned.  

Still Girlfriends is the only other 10 on my MAL.
