Street Fighter

Doki Doki Precure

CamiuVidan: Street Fighter always struck me as weird and the characters basically just kind of.... racial stereotypes........... but also

I have not played any since like

the first

so

They've come a long way from the days of 1 and 2

jisusushi: Mana/Rikka is the ship for people who always feel bad in a romantic comedy when the childhood friend gets passed up on in favor of the new hot alien babe, Mana/Regina is for people who crave enemies to lovers, Mana/Harem is for [REDACTED]

as a certified childhood friend enjoyer who ships manaritsu i approve this message

what's mana/makoto for

Revue Starlight?

jisusushi: Mana/Makoto is for weirdos who see any mostly-canon ship and go "okay, fine, but what aboooooout"

EchoDoctor: best anime of the entirety of 2010-2019 as determined factually by me

Street Fighter seems to work on professional wrestling logic.

pretty much. The video game graphics give it more weight and allow them to do things RL ProWres can't, but it boils down to the same

Ranma 1/2! general take and/or favorite ship

tobu_RP: incredibly easy to get trans and lesbian readings through the series, and yes it's obviously not authorial intent (... except genderfluid Ranma) but that doesn't mean gay and trans people can't claim it or find comfort in it, especially since it cracked so many eggs

Revue Starlight, and claudine/maya

SamuraiMarmoset: as just like, characters and a pairing, I'm not really terribly invested in those two, but

their shit hits Hardest

the whole "For me there is you" bit is the hardest any romance line has ever gone in the history of the written word

it is Peak

Tales of Vesperia

NekoIncardine: Ristelle is the best and people who ship Yuri and Estelle do not have functioning eyes
