Fusion post: Top 5 Anime/Manga Couples

Hey there audience! 

In the spirit of ol' Saint Valentine (you know, the guy who was beheaded in Rome for marrying lovers in secret in opposition to the tyrannical rule of Emperor Claudius the Cruel?) Alice and I have gotten together to present our own personal Top 5 Anime/Manga Couples!

Now, Alice brought up a pretty good point when we were talking about the idea, we are guys and girls. In fact, I even think that it is safe to say that about 92% of all anime watchers on this planet are boys and girls.

So, not only will our lists and opinions differ semi-radically but the way that our readers will be looking at this lists might also play into this here... We will just have to see!

If we haven't included any of your favorites, we likely have not seen the anime that the couple is featured in. So we apologize in advance for that! 

We had hoped to post this on Valentines Day, but because science beckoned and we got into our writing/perfectionist modes, we came a bit late.

So without further adeu, we dive into the world of the animangaverse to ask the question "What is love?" and to ultimately decide from our viewing/reading experiences who plays that game the best.

Here are your countdowns offered by your very own dynamic duo: Alice and AvatarHippo!

We both hope you enjoy!

Sylveon: Ninfia's English Name and Gameplay Footage

Hello there fellow Pokemon lovers! I know all of you are extremely excited about the newest edition to the Eevee family. Well we haven't learned much since my first post, but the Pokemon Company has just announced the new, English, name!

This new Pokemon goes by the name of Ninfia in Japan, and following the usual -eon suffix, goes by Sylveon in English. 

Still no news about this pokemon's type or method of evolution has been announced. However, it has been established that the bows and ribbons on its body are attached to it. Meaning that it has somehow adapted to an environment or stone that would bring on vestigial ribbons and bows. 

Some people think it's a fighting type, others flying, some bug. Even a new "light" type seems to be an option.

To be honest, it all seems a little crazy to me.

Frantically checking for any ribbons attached to my body

-Alice

Pokemon X & Y: New Eeveelution! Ninfia!

Normal, water, fire, electric, psychic, dark, ice, grass, and now....Ninfia?

Joining the previous 7 eeveelutions (8 if you count Eevee) is the newest addition to the Eevee lineage- Ninfia.  This new Pokemon was announced in the recent edition of Japan's CoroCoro Comics. Ninfia, whose name comes from the flower, Ninfea, is a pink version of the typical quadrapedal eeveelution. With it's wispy, ribbon like attachments  and butterfly shaped bows, many speculate that this Pokemon is either bug or flying (as it pays close resemblance to Skyla of Pokemon B&amp;W).

I think it's gorgeous. It's the Eevee version of Milotic

Some believe that it's even part of the a new, 18th, type of Pokemon. There are rumors of a new "light" type pokemon that would be effective against "dark" type pokemon. Others have heard rumors of a "digital"type.

This is all the news we have on Ninfia so far. It's english name, type, ability, and type of evolution has yet to be announced.

Ninfia's debut movie: Pikachu
and Eevee Friends

More information should be coming out with the release of Japan's newest Pikachu- short movie Pikachu and Eevee Friends. For now, we're left guessing.



What do you guys think this new eeveelution is like? Are you a bug advocate, flying believer, or new type conspirator? Post your thoughts in the comments below!

Agonizing over this new eeveelution could be,

Skip Beat!: Opening the Locks to Kyoko's Heart

It's all coming back to it- that one moment; that first scene of both the Skip Beat manga and anime: The box that God gave everyone in the world. One that brings both joy and sorrow. 

A box that Kyoko vowed to lock up and never look back...

Till now. 

It all began with this box, and though many of us forgot about it completely (including me), the whole story is practically about this mysterious box. Kyoko keeps pushing her way into show-biz, but this locked piece of her heart is what's holding her back. The deep wounds that Sho left on her heart haven't been erased, but as the story progressed we noticed that it became less and less about her vengeance on Sho, and more about Kyoko. But that healing has brought on events in Kyoko's heart that makes her greatest promise come closer and closer to breaking. Since this is such a HUGE turning point in the story, I'm putting my best effort into making this post good. 

Enjoy ~
