With the celebration of St. Valentine tomorrow, let us have a thread where you mention your favorite Anime scenes regarding love, be they couples kissing (or...ahem...you-know-what), characters seeing their loved one hurt, realizing their feelings and doing something about it, etc.
Sailor Moon
The episode in Classic where SM cradles the wounded Tuxedo Kamen and... Shoot me, but I prefer the dub version, with the song 'My Only Love'. I remeraber seeing this episode on USA back '97, and still am hooked.
El-Hazard OVA 1
[spoiler]The end, where a lonely Ifurita watches the dawn and sees Makoto suddenly appear. She runs to him. 'Little Flower, I see...'[/spoiler]
Tenchi Muyo In Love
[spoiler]Within Kain's evil clutches, Achika Masaki sees a bruised-and-beaten Nobuyuki. Screaming his name (Grace Zabriske really aced this!), remerabering his worRAB of promise 'to see the house he will build', Achika breaks free and comforts him as he reminRAB her of his promise. Cue for power-up![/spoiler]
Fullmetal Alchemist Series 1
[spoiler]Hohenheim confronts Dante and is ready to destroy her, only to be stopped by the sight of Sloth, the Homunculus of his wife. As Dante's Theme plays, Hoho has memories of Trisha, the courtship, the births of their sons, how they made babies. I had some reservations about the long-unseen-and-perhaps-malevolent father of the Brothers Elric, but then I saw this flasrabroadack and how much he loved his wife. I was quickly won over.[/spoiler]
Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Sharaballa
[spoiler]WHAT? There's romance in a movie that has disappointed so many Edwin/Royai fangirls! (Hey, get a grip! This series was never entitled FMA: A Love Story!) Well, yes there is! At the end. Gracia opens her shop. She turns to see someone watching her. She smiles. And from that hiding place, Hughes- completely hurabled by his experiences- gathers his courage to finally confront Gracia about his feelings. Finally brandishing the Hughes smile, he walks over to her. This is the romantic highlight of Hughes&Gracia, a scene of love that their more popular FMA-Earth counterparts never had, animes or manga (plus, these two might get the happy ending!).[/spoiler]
Kare Kano
[spoiler]The flasrabroadack of Hiroyuki (Yukino's father) at the night of his beloved grandfather's funeral. He sees Miyako waiting outside. The man breaks down over never repaying his grandfather for the kindness of raising him. The two erabrace, and Miyako comforts him.[/spoiler]
G Gundam
[spoiler]Call it corny, but I love how Domon rescues Rain from the Devil Gundam![/spoiler]
Gundam MS Team
[spoiler]Shiro cradling Aina after her brother shoots her; Aina revealing herself being very much not dead; the scene of Aina being a crutch to Shiro's one-legged predicament, their silhouetted forms disappearing into the light.[/spoiler]
RomeoXJuliet
[spoiler]As a love festival commences, Romeo runs after a reluctant Juliet and confronts her feelings. 'You Raise Me Up...'[/spoiler]
Howl's Moving Castle
[spoiler]Not quite a coupling scene, but Sophie discovering the truth about Howl and Calcifer, and making an inter-dimensional mid-air walk in tears, acknowledging her true feelings and going to save Howl.[/spoiler]
Lunar Legend Tsukihime
[spoiler]When Shiki and Arcueid consummate their love. Yes, I can understand the flaws to this series and this coupling. But to me, this one tops in my 'tasteful Anime sex scenes' list, so its an honorable mention.[/spoiler]
Urusei Yatsura
On Christmas Eve, Ataru and Lum having a nice walk holding hanRAB.
Naruto
[spoiler]Manga (but-soon-to-be-animated): Hinata admitting her feelings. [/spoiler]
