Utena and Anthy\'s relationship is a strange one. While circumstance brings them together, the two form an incredible bond as the world twists around them and tries to pull them apart. Through their love, the two help each other become the best version of themselves and break from the roles people try to push upon them.

Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus (Sailor Moon)

In an anime all about love, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus are the standout couple. They\'re not cousins, like the original dub would have you believe — they\'re partners in every sense. They fight together, they flirt with each other, and they stay by each other. Their relationship is not only important as queer representation, it\'s also an incredible example of the power of love in general.

Ban and Elaine come from entirely different walks of life, but eventually create a loving relationship. Ban is a member of the infamous Seven Deadly Sins. He\'s known to be a loner and selfish. Elaine is a kind-hearted fairy who protects the forest from evil. It is through Ban\'s perseverance that Elaine comes to respect and eventually love him.

A moonlit mountainside bench overlooking a beautiful festival sets the scene for one of the most romantic confessions you\'ll ever see. Reina and Kumiko\'s love is subtle, pure, and at times, confusing. The two never outright say they love each other, but Sound! Euphonium instead shows it through the two\'s conversations, heartfelt looks, and the occasional touch.

Kraft is a business-savvy merchant. Holo is a confident and clever harvest goddess. Watch the sparks fly as these two flirt, argue, laugh together, cry together, and do business together.Their relationship may be a slow burn and their future uncertain (Holo is 700 years and Kraft is a 25-year-old mortal) , we love the undeniable chemistry between these two good-looking intellects.

Okabe is smart. Kurisu is smarter. Okabe is proud. So is Kurisu. Initially, these two clash in a constant battle of wits. But when Okabe gets stuck in a tragic timeloop, it\'s Kurisu he goes to for help. While attempting to undo the mistakes of the past and save the future, they form a bond so deep it endures changes to space-time itself. Is there anything more romantic than that?

Taiga and Ryuuji unite when they learn that they have crushes on each other\'s best friends. Taiga\'s fiery tsundere personality contrasts perfectly with Ryuuji\'s more responsible nature, and their relationship grows naturally as they open up to each other. Their love is about acceptance, and when they finally realize that they\'ve fallen for each other, it makes their kiss — and their relationship as a whole — incredibly beautiful.

All of these relationships are great, but no other love will live on in our hearts like the beautiful bond between Pikachu and ketchup.
