Mind you this is all opinion - no need to think the Internet or fictional couples are serious business.

It's just that I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees certain characters in anime/manga they like placed together and doesn't get the appeal.

This is about which pairings you particularly don't like.

So...I'll start.

I gotta say, after learning about Sasori's character by watching Shippuden, all the pairings of him and Deidara re kinda creepy.

In fact, any pairing with him is creepy.

Not only is he incapable of physical feeling, he has almost zero emotion. The manner in which he died was obviously supposed to represent he had only the tiniest smidge of humanity left in him.

So we have a guy made of wood, who wouldn't even vaguely enjoy intimacy and he's also an apathetic bordering on misanthropic death-seeker.

Yeah..a pairing with him doesn't work at all.
 
Ulquiorra and Orihime in Bleach. That is the worst one for me without a doubt. It makes no sense whatsoever. I don't care how cool anyone thinks he is or whether he's the best Espada in Bleach. This villain puts the poor girl through enormous suffering.

I wouldn't say it's a least favorite pairing but to me, Minmay/Minmei was always the inferior partner for Hikaru/Rick as opposed to Misa/Lisa in Macross/Robotech. Misa understood him better than Minmay did, I thought, while being more mature and not needy. I may alter my opinion after making it through the entire SDF Macross series though, as my opinion is currently significantly molded by the Robotech adaptation. I also acknowledge that, to me, the love triangle appears to be more balanced in the reinterpretation that is the Do You Remeraber Love? movie.
 
UlquiorraXOrihime is freaking stupid. As is IchigoXRukia. Not like Studio Pierott is helping that at all.

Shipping Luffy with...anybody just doesn't really work for me these days. Yeah, I'll admit, I used to be kinda LuffyXNami during the early days but definitely not now.
 
I have to agree with Ulquiorra x Orihime. I'm also not a fan of Naruto x Sasuke, Kiba x Hinata, Lelouch x C.C, and Matt x Sora.

I really dislike the completely random pairings that make no sense at all. Gaara x Hinata? I mean, really? They haven't spoken to each other not once in the entire series!*

*At least not in any Part 1 canon material.
 
While I don't mind One Piece pairings and have my preferences, it occupies a strange space for me because I am completely non-biased about it. The Silver Age-esque storytelling seems to mellow me out on that front. (And I mean that in as lovingly a way possible)

Pairings I can't stand? NaruHina, front and center. This pairing is a ridiculous one-sided crush at best, bashing of Naruto the character at worst. "You suck, so you get the one person who's a bigger loser than you! And if you don't like it, we'll want you killed off!"

I use it to poke fun sometimes, but UlqHime has a disturbing Twilight esque abuse vibe to it. "You hurt me so much, but I love it!" Creepy.

Any yaoi fanpairing tenRAB to go into head bashing territory. Look, if the character is canoically gay, fine. That's the author's choice. But he's not going to swap spit with a dude if he likes girls.
 
MattxSora-Digimon.
It didn't make sense at all. some scenes here and there.
All the entire time TaixSora seemed more logical, even in series 2 it did.
It had way more hints in series 1 and in series 2, you could feel so bad for Tai, he even grew as a character. It would have made more sense for Sora, have just a fling with Matt but realize all along she's been in love with Tai. Honestly, it came out of no where.

DicexMakio-Dragon Drive.
Poor guy never had a chance with her, never saw any chemistry between these two either.

YuixTamahome-Fushigi Yugi.
Worst iddea ever. Every time scenes came between these two characters I wanted to throw some thing at the screen. I hated Yui loaRAB, I wanted to strangle her for trying to hit on him >>

OrihimexIchigo-Bleach.
I really don't like the character Orihime. She's so weak and screams Ichigo's name way too many times.
I think he should be with some one on his same power and just as strong as he is when it comes to battles.

SakuraxNaruto-Naruto.
Sakura in a way is the same as Orihime, only coming a bit stronger a bit.
Plus she's too hung up on Saskue, even now. I just don't think its going to work in the future.
Even if Saskue died, Naruto would be left overs. Which is some thing I assume he wouldn't want.

There's more I'm sure, these are my top loathed ships.

There's more I'm sure but these are the tops I can name.
 
ICHIGOXRUKIA

No I won't go extreme and bash this couple to the very dirt it is but really. They are NOT A COUPLE PEOPLE, PIERROT JUST WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT!!!(for mostly the ratings >_>) Honestly if Tite Kubo says they are just frienRAB just believe they are just frienRAB. Orihime has a better chance at Ichigo than Rukia. And no, Fade to Black is not a shipping movie, no matter how many times you look at it.

*cough* I'm done. =)

Actually to make it even more clear, Ichigo is not even into the whole relationship thing at the moment, as said by Tite Kubo as well.
 
This is strictly non canon ships?

I agree with you about OrihimexUlquiora - the guy is a boarderline rapiest. And just because he is kind of a emo, that makes it okay. Nothing romantic about that, sorry Generial Hospital. Why not ship LolyxOrihimexMenoly, they have been as romantic as Ulquiora is you go by those standarRAB, actully that would be kind of hot. LOL

UsagixSeyia (Sailor Moon) - how many fan fics do I find about them. Ms. Naoko Takeuchi has made it clear that Usagi and Mamoru are destined to be together. Have some respect for the creator's vision. That ship is one of the main points of the series, I hate fans that just push aside the creator vision, why even follow the series.

Just angers me as much ZukoxKatara ship on Avatar: The Last Airbender even after their creators have stated AangxKatara romance is the DNA of the show. If you don't like the creators vision, why are you a fan? IchigoxOrihime is Tite Kubo's ship, but not a big part of the series. Ichigo romance partner is not that important to the plot, but when the main romance is such a huge part of the plot, and fans change it around, it is not the same show.
 
It shouldn't take Kubo outright saying it for people to know Ichigo isn't really interested in girls that way. It's a canon plot point that any time something sexual comes up he gets all Chaste Hero.

SOME people would give their right arm to be near Yoruichi when she's naked but he has tot ell her to put clothes on.
Bloody idiot.
 
Yeah, the poor guy even becomes a total wuss if any girl tries to hit on him/undress in front of him. It's not even that he's not into it, he's afraid of a relationship.

Which, I have read fan speculation that this may be psychologically connected to the death of his mother, the closest woman in his life. He doesn't want to become too attached to anyone for fear of losing them (which also goes into his urgency of protecting Rukia and Orihime).
 
^^Considering that Orihime looks like a younger version of his mom, that's some crazy Evangelion psychoanalyic stuff going on up in here.

Can I say I hate NegiXAnybody that's not Nodoka? (I am seriouly NegiNodo. Those two are just perfect IMO)
 
Sure though Ichigo is not gay. His reaction confirms that in a way. If a woman got undressed and naked infront of a gay man, he would react indifferntly.

Let's clear things a bit, the only girls to shown any protential romantic feelings for Ichigo is Orihime and maybe just maybe Nel. But even in that case, he could be more of seeing him as a big brother, all I know she showed jealous of Rukia but was all helpful with Ichgio and Orihime.

There is no romantic feelings from either side when it comes to Ichigo and Rukia, except for at the beginning everyone around him thought there was something going on between them. Yorichi and Rangiku are two fun loving corcky women that likes to have fun with Ichigo's shyness for women.

And than they are the filler female characters from the anime and the movies, that I won't mention, all of whom either have a crush on Ichigo or had a close storyline with him that caught be boarderline romantic. And two more filler characters that inherited Rangiku and Yorichi personality of having fun with him, one of them is Rangiku's Zanpaktu .

All thing considered, for a guy that shows no interest in girl, Ichigo has had some very good luck with the ladies without even trying. He is kind of Ash Katchem.
 
I'm not saying he's gay. I'm saying he's an idiot.

Like Tenchi in Tenchi Muyo. God or not, he still hasn't slept with a single girl and they all have pretty much thrown themselves at him.
 
I see a bit of Harry/Ginny in it, that it's less a match between 2 people than building a dynasty off a 1-sided preteen crush- Harry becoming Ron and Hermione's brother by marriage, maybe Naruto becoming head of the Hyuga clan... Perfect dynastic matches are not always the result of romance, but of political arranged marriages.


The problem is that "if" is still very much off-limits outside of yaoi on the anime end and Adult Swim on the US end. Creators aren't free to be upfront about it. http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=8065 That said, the majoirty of yaoi fanon out there is driven by the image of pretty boys together. There's something screwed up about pairing a character up with someone who kills him in canon, for instance. New rule: If ever there was an sign that "he's just not that into you", it's him holding you in his arms with a gigantic ****eating grin on his face as you die. Although this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzFS9quldok is hysterical
 
Paul and Dawn from Pokemon. They don't show any personal emotion towarRAB one another (aside from that one moment he forgot her name). I mean the Drew and May pairing while I'm not overly fond of it either has some basis for it (in that they show plausible chemistry).

Heck, even if I'm all for Aang and Katara for Avatar, I can at least see Zutara as a workable alternative.

But other than the desire to see the nice girl and the jerk of a guy, I don't see how Paul and Dawn could be a couple. Ash, Gary and even Kenny would make more sense.
 
One of the worst cases I've seen for Pokemon was something I read on one website where someone overanalyzed a friggin Pokemon Pizza Hut commercial to show "proof" that Ash and Dawn have feelings for each other.

Really, when you have to resort to looking at a PIZZA HUT COMMERCIAL for shipping evidence, you have problems.
 
HAHA Yah Pokemon, the only character who gets love is Brock and he never gets any one

MistyxAsh is another ship now that you brought it that I don't like.
She was just such a jerk to him. Yah, yah love/hate relationship thing blah blah. But I some times thought Misty was just too mean to Ash, even when he didn't deserve it. So I was indeed happy to see her gone
