Who would you pair up with a rich and spoiled young woman? Why not an overly proud Prince with a self centered attitude? It makes perfect sense. The best anime couple for me has to be Bulma and Vegeta from the Dragon Ball franchise.

For me, however, the best couple in anime came out of nowhere, yet makes perfect sense. Most popular fictional couples are ones that come together after a long period of time through the ‘will they won’t they’ kind of cliched story arc. Honourable mentions: Takumi Usui & Misaki Ayuzawa ( Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama), Yukito Tsukishiro and Touya Kinomoto ( Cardcaptor Sakura), Howl and Sophie ( Howl’s Moving Castle), Tamaki Souh and Haruhi Fujioka ( Ouran High School Host Club), Luke Ainsworth & Cecily Campbell ( Sacred Blacksmith). Even if their love had been unrequited in the end, they still would have both been better-off people for being in each other’s lives. Sakura imparts sensitivity and the ability to forge meaningful friendships onto Syaoran so he can learn to be less work-focussed and he in turn teaches her maturity and strength through competing with her for the cards.

I always think the strongest relationships in fiction (and in real life I suppose) are characters who enrich and change each other’s lives for the better. Sakura & Syaoran, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles Moreover, like all Studio Ghibli films, it’s filled with vibrant and interesting characters, humour, magic, brilliant world-building, anti-war rhetoric, and breathtakingly drawn scenes like this one: Howl and Sophie are the missing pieces in each other’s lives – but they must overcome societal and personal obstacles before they can prove it to the other. The story is essentially a fairy tale in which each character must learn a valuable lesson: selfish but talented wizard Howl must learn self-sacrifice in order to find true love and shop girl Sophie must conversely learn to love herself before she can love another the villainous witch must learn to let go of unreturned affections and the King must learn to abandon a self-serving and pointless war… I could go on through the entire cast, but I won’t. Films like this feel as good as a hot drink on a cold day – nurturing and fulfilling every time. This film is like a classic Disney movie to me – I know all the words, I know the story back to front, and yet I never get sick of revisiting it, and it never ceases to make me feel exactly the same feelings I did upon first watching it.
