1. HOWL AND SOPHIE (“Howl’s Moving Castle”)

The love story of the main characters of the anime “Howl’s Moving Castle” by the legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki is incredibly beautiful and unusual. At first glance, this is a traditional fairy tale about beauty and the beast, only Miyazaki's story is much more complex and deeper than the Disney story. Young Sophie fell in love with the young and handsome wizard Howl at first sight.

They probably could have lived happily ever after if the evil and jealous Witch of the Waste, unrequitedly in love with Howl, had not turned the girl into a flabby old woman. However, no matter what difficulties stand in the way of the heroes of Hayao Miyazaki’s films, they always prove that their feelings are not afraid of any obstacles - that’s exactly what the heroes of Howl’s Moving Castle did.

2. USAGI TSUKINO AND MAMORU CHIBA (“SAILOR MOON”)

In the mid-90s, the Sailor Moon series became a real discovery for Russian children, and the Usagi-Mamoru couple won the love of, perhaps, every one of them. We literally rushed to the TV screens and, holding our breath, watched an anime about warriors in sailor suits and their brave and mysterious savior - Tuxedo Mask.

The story of Usagi and Mamoru began long before the main events of the series, when she was the princess of the Moon Kingdom and he was the earthly prince. However, the evil Queen Beryl, in love with the prince, separated the lovers, and in the struggle for their love, both of them died tragically.

This event was only the beginning of their amazing story: the heroes are reborn on Earth, becoming simple students who do not have a single memory of their past life, and they have to fall in love with each other again.

By the way, if you want to rewatch the moment with their first kiss, it happened in episode 22 of the first season.

3. SASUKE UCHIHA AND SAKURA HARUNO (NARUTO SERIES)

The love story between Sasuke and Sakura runs through the entire Naruto saga. As a child, while studying at the Ninja Academy, modest Sakura meets the only surviving representative of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke, and immediately falls in love with him. The girl tries in every possible way to attract his attention, which is why she loses her only friend, who also liked Sasuke.

However, Sakura does not immediately win the favor of her cold and arrogant lover, obsessed only with revenge for his family. The heroes will not only have to go through many tests side by side, fighting on the same team, but also fight against each other. And yet, the devoted Sakura becomes Sasuke’s only hope and support - his wife.

One day, as a child, Ichigo saw a little girl carrying her brother, who had been injured in an accident, to the door of his father’s hospital. Later, Ichigo learns that this girl was his classmate and friend - the kind and caring Orihime. She is very perceptive, especially when it comes to Ichigo. Secretly in love with him, Orihime is somehow strangely able to find him by smell and sense his hidden spiritual power. However, the fate of this couple remains unknown - Taito Kubo's manga, on which the series is based, continues to be published and fans of the story do not yet know whether their heroes will be together in the finale.

5. MEGUMI NODA AND SHINICHI CHIAKE (NODAME CANTABILE SERIES)

The series based on the manga by Tomoko Ninomiya tells the story of aspiring and very talented students at a Japanese conservatory. Shinichi Chiaki is a born musical genius, a virtuoso violin and piano player. In his native academy, he has long become a real star and the dream of all girls. However, he is absolutely indifferent to their attention, since he is busy only with thoughts about how to achieve even greater skill and become a conductor.

His complete opposite is Noda Megumi - a lazy and irresponsible student who is unable to even play notes normally. She falls madly in love with Shinichi at first sight. Their relationship is quite traditional for the anime genre, when one hero experiences strong affection, and the second suffers in uncertainty. But even despite this, the heroes help each other get closer to their dreams.

Having become the first girl president of the student council in the history of the Saika private boys' school, where coeducation was introduced to “soften morals,” Misaki entered into the struggle for order and discipline. However, the smart and purposeful Misaki has a secret that she doesn’t want to share with anyone.

Financial problems force the girl, in her free time from school, to engage in an activity that is not too noble for the president of the school council - working as a waitress in a cafe.

And, it would seem, she successfully manages to hide this fact, until the cafe is visited by Usui Takumi, an attractive student of the Seika school, who has broken many women’s hearts. Usui decides to keep Misaki's secret, and at the same time, begins to visit the cafe where she works more and more often. Of course, subsequently, these two strong-willed perfectionists simply could not help but fall in love with each other.

Haruhi Fijioka wears a short haircut, dresses in a unisex style, and she absolutely does not care whether others see her as a boy or a girl. Having entered Ouran High School on her own - one of the coolest institutions for the children of oligarchs and politicians - Haruhi, whom the students mistook for a cute boy, falls into the slavery of handsome men from the school guest dating club.

Their leader Tamaki is confident that the girls will be delighted with the newcomer. Very soon he begins to experience fatherly feelings for Haruhi, which, after her secret is revealed, develop into true love. Tamaki does not admit to himself that he is in love for a long time, sincerely believing that he continues to love Haruki like a father.

"Toradora!" - perhaps the most ordinary story about the school life of ordinary Japanese teenagers, which, nevertheless, caused a lot of noise, dividing viewers into both big fans and ardent opponents. The relationship between the main characters - classmates Ryuji and Taiga - traditionally begins with hostility and mutual hostility.

However, when it is revealed that Ryuji is in love with Taiga's best friend, and Taiga is in love with Ryuzdi's friend, the heroes decide to join forces to win hearts. Spending a lot of time together, the characters become closer, get to know each other, and this makes them think about whether they have chosen the right objects for their adoration.

By the way, the name of the series arose from the names of Taiga and Ryuji: the name “Taiga” sounds like the word “tiger” in English, and in Japanese this word would sound like “tora”. The first part of Ryuji's name is ryu, which means "dragon" in Japanese, and in the Japaneseized transliteration from English it would be "ドラゴン" (doragon).

9. Mikiya Kokuto and Shiki Ryogi (“Boundaries of the Void: Garden of Sinners”, film two)

Mikiya had a crush on Shiki since high school and they made a promise to each other to attend the same college. But this did not happen because the girl crashed her car and remained in a coma for a long time. Mikiya visits her so often that envious hospital staff call him “dog” behind his back. When Shiki comes to, it becomes clear that the coma has changed her world forever and has taken away some of her memories and part of her personality.

With the help of a new friend - the powerful sorceress and artist Toko Aozaki - Mikiya helps Shiki return to life and find himself.

However, their college dreams are put on hold when Toko Aozaki invites them to use their abilities in paranormal investigation and demon hunting. The story of Mikiya and Shiki is the story of the birth of love between two such, at first glance, dissimilar people, like a girl forced to hide her true nature and a guy distinguished by incredible kindness to everyone.

And we’ll start with the most controversial couple: the perky and arrogant Haruhi Suzumiya and the always dissatisfied Kyon. Their relationship is ambiguous because it essentially doesn’t exist. But is it then appropriate to put them in such a top? Certainly! The fact is that the relationship between these two people, so different in character, is shown to us non-verbally and rather unusually for anime, with the exception of a couple of moments.

None of them thinks about how they love the other one, but we see it. The feelings between Kyon and Haruhi are presented to us narratively. Of course, the apogee [and exception] was the third episode, where in order to escape from a confined space, Kyon kisses Haruhi, but all this is “like just a dream,” and there will be no further moments like this, and their feelings will begin to be shown precisely through the narrative of the series.

My favorite example is the episode where the SOS team investigates a murder in a mansion. At the moment when a couple stands on a mountain during a storm, they hold hands so as not to fall from the slope on which they stand. They simply take each other’s hands in a simple way, but literally a second later they change their position to a more intimate one, interlocking their fingers. And it was precisely this moment that was shown to us in close-up for literally one and a half seconds.

In the same episode, when they are squeezing things out in a cave and talking about murder, the camera angles show the strange sexual tension that both characters are experiencing, while at the same time making it clear that neither of them is able to act on it. It is from such moments that are not specified, but obvious emphasis is placed on them, that their relationship consists. Complex, but so true.

Edward and Winry / Full Metal Alchemist

I can describe Edward and Winry as “just a good couple.” I have rarely seen sincere and simple love in anime. They have known each other since childhood and liked each other for a long time. Edward and Winry had to be together - and so it happened. But this is not presented to us as something super romantic, but as the natural order of things, without unnecessary pathos and excessive romance.

Sakuta and Mai / The Rascal Who Never Dreamed of the Bunny Girl

In the relationship between these two, everything is a little more complicated than in the previous case, but in our top anime couples we are not looking for easy ways and are trying to be rebels [uh, probably after these words the top will be hated even more]. What makes this relationship special is probably damn quantum physics, which plays a significant role in the plot, which makes Sakuta’s feelings more sincere when he tries to go against this very physics.

I really love it when actions play a significant role in a story, especially a love story, because from them you can understand the sincerity of the words. So when he embarrasses himself in front of the whole school [which is anime's worst nightmare], he makes people remember Mai's existence and confesses his feelings - I believe him.

Kaguya and Miyuki / Lady Kaguya on love is like war

In this case, the whole situation is just very funny. No, seriously, the damn “Death Note” in the setting of a school romance, where two brilliant and proud yanderes force each other to be the first to admit their feelings in order to be the main one in the relationship. I was condemned, slandered, but I do not regret that I put these two and their intellectual love story in first place in

Taki and Mitsuha / Your name

One could say that this anime couple benefits from the fact that Taki saved Mitsuha from death, and that they are sincerely trying not to forget the names of their loved ones. However, it seems to me no less important that they are people who know how to respect each other. Many couples break up due to misunderstandings or unwillingness to accept the rules of life of their partner. But Taki and Mitsuha literally live for each other and are completely imbued with their worldview while they exchange bodies. Their relationship is precisely about how to respect the privacy of a person dear to you and be able to adapt to it, and trust the one you love.

Buddha and Jesus / Holy Youths

So, stop now, I’ll explain what these two are doing here. Of course, there are no romantic or love feelings between these characters from the anime “Holy Youths”. However, they represent true love for your friend. After all, friendship, especially strong and true friendship, is also, to some extent, a subtype of love. Think about one or more of your friends and imagine what your life would be like without them. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean. Many people understand and admit that they love their friends, because only with them can they be themselves. And I decided to put the friendship of Jesus and Buddha here as a symbol of all true friends in anime, the people who make you who you are. Well, in the end, these gods themselves promote universal love, so why not?

Ashitaka and San / Princess Mononoke

Feelings in Miyazaki's anime have always had their own charm. Ashitaka and San are excellent proof of this. He is the prince of a small village, she is the wolf princess. This is something deeper than a romantic relationship. In Miyazaki’s paintings, the theme of harmony between nature and man has always taken place, and sometimes it acts as the main leitmotif of the picture, the subtext and propaganda that we forget about this balance, continuing to destroy the most valuable thing that the planet has given us.

Both Ashitaka and San are exactly the case when two hostile environments: nature and humanity come together, thereby forming harmony. This is the only way they defeat the spirits of the forest. And even though they cannot be together, they are still one of the best.

Haruki and Yamauchi/I want to eat your pancreas

A very touching story that cannot end well. Yamauchi has cancer and will die. This is inevitable, there will be no miracle. And when this happens, only suffering will remain. This is clear from the very beginning. Moreover, the story is not original and similar things have happened before in cinema. Except the main character doesn't look like she's dying. And the film doesn't spend much time on how the disease kills her. After all, anime and the relationships of the main characters are about what it means to be happy. And, probably, this is what makes this couple good, because the two of them are trying to find the answer to this question.

Otani and Risa / Touching complex

These two remind me of many people I knew from school. The problem is that they tease each other and make sarcastic jokes about the fact that they are of different heights, but at the same time their hostility and friendly jokes develop into something more and move on to a new stage. But Otani and Risa remain the same. I put them in the top as an example of a couple that emerged from a cheerful friendship. Which happens quite often in real life.

Cat and Lucy / Elven's Song

Another strange contenders that are usually not included in such lists. Kota and Lucy are actually an example of how, when trying to help a person cope with his problems, you suffer from his egoism and complexes generated by these very problems. It’s hard to even imagine what terrible feelings Kota felt when Lucy, in a fit of childish, naive jealousy, killed his parents. I put them on the list as a reminder of how terrible relationships can turn out to be, because in life people face this very often.

When compiling this list, I tried to focus more on couples who represent not just banal archetypes, but in one way or another reflect our lives.

With anime the rules are stricter. On the one side, The Japanese are trying very hard to cram as much animation into TVs as possible. On the other hand, it would be strange to put together a series about animals in pokeballs and a story about how busty robotic girls saved the world from cyborgs.

Therefore, in the afternoon - all sorts of "Doraemon" and "Naruto" for those who canceled math in lesson 5, at night - hotter for those who can already. We have brought you a selection of the best anime that consists entirely of sexuality.

Freezing

In the near future, Vanga's prophecy regarding wars against humanity it did come true. In the red corner of the ring - aggressive alien race "Nova"", in blue - graduates of the military academy "Genetics". The girls have been improved with a special gene that allows them to control weapons and armor with the power of thought, and at the same time short skirts and deep necklines. Anime doesn't hesitate to use heavy artillery in the form of nudity, for which he receives an adult like from us.

Ladies Versus Butlers!

16-year-old Hino is an orphan. He lived all his life in his uncle's family. In order not to be a burden to his relatives, the guy passed the Unified State Exam and entered the Butler High School. It is quite expected that the vast majority of students are girls, who were not accepted into the theater school, and Hino here is about like a guy in the philology department. True, his appearance is very specific, so ladies most often mistake him for a pervert.

Maken-ki!

Takeru Oyama studied at a boys' boarding school for three years and furiously yearned for girls in his life. At the first opportunity, he transferred to a girls' academy (long story), and then spent 12 episodes dealing with the problems typical of any anime that has sexy girls in school uniform. True, succumbing to hormones, Takeru forgot about one small detail: the academy was founded as a school of magic and martial arts.

5. "A boring world where the idea of ​​dirty jokes doesn't exist"

Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of "Dirty Jokes" Does Not Exist

Welcome to Brave New World in Japanese. there is no such thing as sex, and any obscene jokes are punishable prison sentences (Huxley, log in). The creators seemed to bring the "humor police" meme to life and elevated it to moral absolute. Tanukichi enrolls in a super moral school, but suddenly fate confronts him with a rebel calling for non-Orthodox destruction.

4. "Manyu's Blade: The Secret of the Tit Scroll"

High School DxD

Let's take it as a fact and live with this information: The main dream of every Japanese teenager is his own harem. Issei Hedo even specially transferred to an almost all-female school in order to become king there and collect more raspberries, but something didn’t work out. After a couple of years, he still gets it, and he goes on a date with a girl who takes the initiative into her own hands and first of all thrusts half a meter of steel into his stomach.

Kanokon

Once upon a time simple country guyKouta, who sincerely believed that children are made from kisses. Lived among goats, cows and nature, and then - bam! - and moved to the big city. And everything would be ok, but there was an endless amount of many beautiful girls, for whose society the guy’s life did not prepare him. Kouta turned out to be very handsome and immediately became magnet for ladies. But along with women, he bursts into the guy’s life Mystic.

The Testament of Sister New Devil

One day, the eccentric father Tojo Basaru asked his son: “Listen, you wanted to have a sister, right?” - and then brought it to the guy two beautiful stepsisters. At first it all has a family-like warmth and is generally endearing. Until it turned out that sisters Mio and Maria not ordinary people, but Demon Lord and Succubus respectively.

The best selection of anime couples that amaze the imagination of the average viewer with the power of their love, passion and desire to be together. In addition, they look great together, complementing each other in all respects.

List of the sweetest couples in anime

Another list about love, only this time we will talk about couples in love. Sweet and inseparable couples in anime tend to overcome all difficulties together.

They go through fire and water, only strengthening their relationship. But even during the period of wonderful moments, there are boundaries of behavior that should be observed by everyone without exception.

3rd place – Ashitaka and San

Ashitaka and San from anime "Princess Mononoke". The story of Ashitaka shows the eternal struggle between people and nature. Only after he meets Sun on his way will she be able to create prosperity between the two worlds.

Their love is not a standard relationship between ordinary people, it is something deeper and stronger. Ashitaka is the prince of a small village, and San is the prince of the wolves. They seem like an unlikely pair, but together they were able to save and calm the spirits of the forest.

The ultimate sign of their strength is the fact that they know that they cannot live together and must separate in order to continue to be true to themselves.
