Legendary Shipping Meltdowns (SPOILERS)

I mean, I can at least see the argument for Trowa x Quatre.

Eh, they were still reaching regardless. However what is hilarious/sad is the Frozen Teardrop Light Novels have a new Trowa, who looks exactly like Trowa/No-Name (and was given the Trowa name by him as older Trowa called himself Doktor T by that point in the future) in a relationship with one of Quatre's younger sisters - the one who looks practically like Quatre but has boobs.
 
The only non straight ship that makes sense is Wufei x Treize.

And the funny part with that one was how Episode Zero wound up completely and utterly tearing that one down. The fujioshis will always have their fun with that show, but at the end of the day, it's only Quatre that didn't have a gal to come home to.

Well from what I've read regarding FT plot Wufei is helping out the future son of Treize or some shit. I think after watching his wife die Wufei would be pretty hard to romance.
How about we pair Dorothy up with a nice airlock instead.
Why would I deprive myself of the chick with the best eyebrows?

Oh man... Calm. Down. People.
 
Do people actually call them Punji lol



I'm telling y'all:

latest

That girl is just a flirt who uses Hachi for attention and to play games. Same as Yukino's sister. Hachi knows better then to get caught up with disingenuous girls like that. He learned with that one girl Kaori who turned him down in middle school just to see him later on and still be playing games.
 
I remember in Yu-Gi-Oh GX there was Jaden and Alexis. But then Yubel came along and she (well, depending on your region actually) got Jaden at the end.

But she can change!

What?

Jaden was totally into Jesse. It wasn't even subtle!

In all seriousness GX and OG YGO had the worst romance because there was none. No matter how many date episodes we had, it never goes anywhere.

Edit: After watching Alien Covenant I can safely say that my OTP is Michael Fassbender X
Michael Fassbender
 
I'll have a meltdown if Hachiman doesn't end up with the teacher in SNAFU

I won't really because there's no chance of it happening, but I hate the 2 main girls quite a bit. They can fuck off, teacher is top tier.

I think Shizuka is probably the best suited for 8man. I have a destructive crush on Yukino, I actively route against her getting with him simply because I think she can do better.

I'm the better.
 
"I will ruin my entire story and betray the core of it's themes to give a giant fuck you to censors!

That'll show them"

Lol seriously the scene with the speakers blaring his confession was so fucking cringe. And then they IMMEDIATELY had to go to a hotel and bring up sex in the creepiest scene I have seen outside of the toothbrush scene in Monogatari. The creator of that show is an absolute moron, and the fact that he had to make the Kuroneko manga as a spin off highlights just how much of an idiot he is, it should have been her from the get-go.
 
Tea husbando leaves/is dead and nothing with Yugi feelings for her are resolved.

Mai and Joey just don't happen.

Kaiba has his Blue Eyes who is that Blu haired girl in the final arc.

Jun gets nothing.

Asuka pinned for Jaden but doesn't do anything about it and Jaden ends up in the middle of now where at the end of the series.

Yugioh is weird...
 
What?

I will definitely agree to disagree on that one.

But it is sad that any romance in the Yu-gi-oh series gets dropped or never mentioned again.

Shizuka or nothing.
 
Considering they went full incest route, yea I'd say that fury was well deserved.

I'm sorry, but what were people expecting from a series called "MY LITTLE SISTER CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THIS CUTE" that starred a little sister who played games about little sisters getting fucked by their brother?

Funniest part about this is that people are going into the author's second work, Eromanga Sensei, expecting the little sister to somehow not win again despite the writing being on the walls for it.

It's fucked up, not arguing against that at all, but I've just always been confused as to how people were surprised at the ending of Oreimo.

There are plenty of siscons in anime usually used as a comedic device but he's the only one that actually wanted to fuck his sister. Its disgusting and ruined Oreimo for just about everyone. I think most of us assumed it was just comedy I really never expected it to go full incest.

Yeah this, it is initially portrayed as them becoming friends through the pervy games

My issue with the ending is not even that, it's that the siblings choose that route, go as far as to tell effectively everyone they know, risk getting completely ostracized if not imprisoned...

... then go "Okay, this was fun, but time's up so let's act like none of this ever happened"

It doesn't work that way, you don't cutesy up opening the fucking Pandora's Box

Jaben and Yubel were star-crossed lovers tbh. Best ship.

But seriously the whole "My mentally ill stalker is my true love" thing: A. Pops up way too much and B. Is always creepy as hell.
 
Speaking of sis-con ships, has anyone ever heard of Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka???

Basically it's your average harem anime/manga. Guy lives with his sister and his parents are out of town doing heroic (literally. They fight baddies) stuff and suddenly he kisses a new transfer student in school. Said transfer student turns out to be a girl that he was promised to wed according to his family and her family. She doesn't want to so in order to test him she moves in with him and his sister.

Basically all your anime harem tropes begin and all those wacky things happen but if you look closely you start noticing that the main character and his sister have a very close relationship. But nothing really happens until the last few episodes where it's confirmed that they have lovey dovey feelings for each other.

Apparently he moved away from their old home because of this and other stuff and later on she followed him cause she couldn't stand to not be near him. He told her that she couldive with him as long as they had a normal sibling relationship and she agreed to it. But the arrival of the new girl started driving her to jealousy. So again she starts acting like a lover and the other girl starts noticing so at the end the MC has to choose.

Of course he chooses the little sister!

Note: My terrible plot summary could be off. Sorry! The ending is true though.

I actually thought it was really sweet and a teeny bit yandere.

At least he got someone! Even though he went through a lot of crap in that arc in order to get her.

I actually really like the pairing, but at the same time it's like a meta-physical relationship with spirit creature that tortured Jaden for an extended period of time. It's weird. I like it, but it's weird.

Yeah it was weird since she was the main villain of the arc and you saw how much pain she was putting Jaden through.

But then he says sorry and hugs her and everything goes back to normal! Well almost, Jaden got a little bit of a change in personality for season 4.

GX spent three season finding what I wanted to be.

It results in a fascinating journey for some characters like Syrus but it hurt most others...SPECIALLY Zane and Bastion.

"Hi, I'm a sadist now"

Yubel pops out of nowhere, creates aa gigantic conflict, but then she tells us he/she loved Jaden and was lonely and everything turns A-Ok for her.
 
Wow all this time I forgot to mention the worst fucking ship in EU Star Wars.

Castilla Ming x Luke Skywalker.

Total fucking shit pairing that breaks me out in rage each time I even think about it.

Basically a computer ghost Jedi that Luke falls in love with and then said ghost reanimates the corpse of Luke's jedi student who is a bombshell blonde of course and younger than him by 10 standard years.

Screw Barbara Hambly for delaying Luke x Mara for so long due to that. Ruined Tim Zahn Last Command momentum.
 
I'm pretty sure one of the dubs actually did make Kurama a woman. Can't remember what country did it though.

mine (Philippines)

they eventually fixed it in the next episode, and handwaved it as "Denise" where his human form is effeminate

however they kept Genkai's voice male... even though they kept her young self female

Holy shit.
 
Yo Crimsonlink I have to go research that now. Never in all my life have I heard of this story. It's so crazy!

Also, a routine reminder that this:

Is so much better than SupermanxWonder Woman. BatmanxWonder Woman all the way!

(Which makes me sad that it's the opposite in Injustice 1 and 2)

Injustice 1 and 2 got it right. Wonder Woman would inevitably run up against Batman's no kill rule which is basically half his character motivation for everything.

Well I was talking more about the blind obsession with Superman in the first game. I heard that she mellowed out a teeny tiny almost insignificant bit though.
 
I'm gay but never seen Jack as a gay icon. The dude has a few nods towards women in the past, get your shit straight internet.

People will just decide a character is gay. And different fan interpretations are fine. A lot of times those things spin off into their own creative works.

The issue is, the culture, and not just in this sphere but in multiple ones, wants to take ownership of the thing they like. And that's something even as an artist, I can't agree with.

One of the worst episodes of south park ever, is the one where george lucas and stephen spielberg are raping their characters based on famous rape scenes in fiction, and the end suggests they should just give these things to their fans. And I don't feel like that should be how that works, if you want to do that with your fans, that's ok. But the idea that the fans are somehow owed out of any obligation besides the one the creator gives them, is false.

Now if you don't like it, that's totally ok. But the idea, that you are owed the idea, or you need to take charge of the idea of whatever idealized version of what you want is a very silly and childish premise. You don't own it, there is a good chance even if you get an exorbitant amount of money you will NEVER own that property you want, it will change in ways you don't like. You are allowed to not like it, you are allowed to shit on it. You are allow to suggests ways it could be better, you are allowed to not enjoy what the thing you like has become. But to suggest by enjoying something, you have some ownership of it is a silly notion that I HAVE NEVER gotten.

This is a weird feeling for me, because i'm usually the anti heavy copyright guy. I think copy right even now, and especially allowed to go too far will ruin mythology for future generations because I feel like the retelling of stories through time, maybe at some point shouldn't require a copyright and should take almost a hundred years after a creators death, if a company doesn't own that thing.


And we aren't even going to begin to mention that there are a lot of people on tumblr who just ship characters to be gay, aren't lgbt themselves and have a very... harmful view of what they think other sexualities are, and its pretty reflective on why they think these characters are gay. But unhealthy views, on homosexuality used as fetishes is a thread onto itself.
 
Sakura got her man and Sasuke got with the girl who has always cared about him, the girl he once thanked for her love.

These lies haters tell themselves to make themselves feel better are hilarious. Girl won harder than what any of her haters could ever dream of, even if they don't want to admit it. Like please, we all saw the meltdowns and whine whenever Sakura gets her way or does something notable.

- inherited the power of a sannin
- became the strongest kunoichi in existence
- saved both Naruto and Sasuke and helped seal end villain
- Sasuke opened his feelings to her and married her
- went on a journey with Sasuke, where Sarada was conceived ;)
- matriarch of the strongest clan in existence
- gets invited to relevant, secret kage meetings
- daughter is going to be hokage
- she even got more panel time than most characters, even at the end.

Speaks volumes that the only thing haters can cling onto are falsehoods. Sasuke abandoned her? No, he was on a mission investigating a global threat and announced the mission with Sakura by his side. Sasuke left her to raise the kid by herself for 12 years? No, he was there in her early years

CHw2yk7UAAAufUG.jpg:large


You wish Sakura was in a sad, unfulfilling relationship abandoned by her husband who hates her, just like some fans wish Sasuke and Naruto were gay for each other. Reality is different:

See I disagree on this, in that Wondy might kill, but Wondy only kills as a last result. She is arguably the most diplomatic among the trinity.

I still don't get the Supes x Wondy pairing anyway. In most of the incarnations, Clark has more chemistry with Lois.
 
Such bullshit, Yugioh just sucks with romance :-(

Tell me about it. I'm still pissed about how Arc V mishandled everything in that regard.

They spent like 75% of the show with Yuya trying to rescue Yuzu and when they meet up again in the very last episode we don't get so much as a hug! Like would it have killed the writers to officially make them a couple?

Not to mention how weird it was they where stuck merged with their counterparts from the other 3 dimensions screwing them over.
 
This is why everyone should watch School Days, the show where every ship wins and loses in spectacular fashion, the greatest harem of all time.
 
Thread title confused me because I've never heard the word "shipping" used in this context. Didn't know it was a thing.

Anyway, does Jim and Pam​ from the US Office count? A lot of people were saying Jim and Karen work better and made more sense.
