"Who is your favourite anime couple?"
Again, this is a very tough question. I've spent most of the day thinking about it, and while there a so many couples that I absolutely love...I think my answer might be Naru and Mai from Ghost Hunt.
I know that they don't ever really get their act together in the anime, and in the novels the series is based on Naru later tells Mai that she probably loves the ghost of his twin Gene, who is the one who has been visiting her in her dreams.
Personally, I couldn't disagree more. Gene allows Mai to look more closely at Naru's actions - while he is generally cold, he has his own way of caring, and Mai comes to realise this and gets to know him in his own right. I can understand her confusion, but I think that if she could have met Gene while he was alive, they might have tried dating, but end up being close friends. The characters just seem far too alike for me to believe that they'd really hit it off.
Naru on the other hand, needs Mai. Her cheerful, open and impetuous behaviour counteracts his emotionally distant, logical nature, and to top it off, the chemistry between them is intense. She is one of the few people who can get under his skin, challenge him and hold her own. I think the only other person who could make Naru act as recklessly as she does is Gene.
He may not realise it yet, but give it some time and I'm sure the genius will figure it out :)
