My favourite couple is Lacus and Kira. :) I always love the care and devotion they have for each other. Lacus gives Kira the space he needs, during and after the war from the prequel series, and in this series, as she doesn’t demand him to be or do anything (yes, the polar opposite of Flay <.<). I found it so touching, when Lacus was hesitant about giving Kira the key to open the doors and pilot the Freedom... T.T Lacus knows how traumatized Kira is from the war, and she apologized, because he had to fight against the enemies who were aiming for her life... It was so sad, because no one wants to see Kira return to the battlefield, but once again, he chose to fight willingly, to protect his friends... I can see that Lacus fell in love with Kira through his kindness, and he motivated her to move forward in the prequel for example, when she said that Kira decided to return to the battlefield while he was crying... Seeing Kira in such a state had Lacus see that she should take action as well. :( It's so lovely to see the couple's concern for each other, like when Lacus told Kira that she wanted to impersonate Meer and hijack a shuttle to go to space, but Kira didn't want her to because it would be dangerous, yet he still gave in, and even reached her shuttle because he was worried. x( These two behave like a married couple!! <3 (OMG, in the Character Theater, Kira loved and praised the food Lacus made xD)
I'm upset that Cagalli and Athrun were handled poorly. I like them as a couple too. I view the ring that Athrun gave Cagalli as them having a very solid relationship. The circumstances just weren't right, since Cagalli was busy and Athrun was confused. :/ The writer and the director had too much hate, unfortunately... -_- I don't think it was in Cagalli's character at all, to marry Yuna, without talking with Athrun! + It was just unnecessary to have Meer, Lunamaria, and Meyrin around Athrun; he's not some playboy. >< I also don't think it's in Athrun's character to not be upset about Cagalli's engagement... Even if Athrun doesn't express his feelings vocally, I think he would still feel SOMETHING. .________. No one would be okay, or not have negative emotions, if their significant other agreed to marry someone else!! At least there were no hard feelings when Lacus and Athrun ended their engagement –although, it is debatable that it’s NOT in Athrun and Lacus’s characters to not talk about their engagement ending– so they are still very good friends. If Cagalli married Yuna, I don’t picture how she and Athrun could stay as friends. They’d probably stop talking…. ><

-LOLOLOL at this. XD ME TOO!! I literally lol-ed and I'm still grinning at your comment!! XD I prefer Shinn and Mayu’s cellphone over him and Lunamaria... ;P Shinn was calm when he looked through the photos on his sister's cellphone at least. <3 (Although, there were feels when Shinn clung to Mayu’s phone and cried, after listening to her voicemail message… T.T) Bostonblows said:where is the shinn x stella option =(. Shinn x stella > shinn x luna by far. The latter had no buildup at all, just seemed like something they stuck in there. I totally agree!! I had such intense emotions for Shinn and Stella. Even though Shinn was an angry character, and he scolded Stella for falling off the cliff, I really liked seeing him calm down and comfort Stella during their first meeting, even though she was a complete stranger. The way Shinn hugged Stella, and when he covered her wound with his handkerchief were touching. It was also heartwarming, when Stella gave Shinn a shell, which made him smile and he said thank you. :) Shinn has been so busy fighting, I don't remember seeing him smile like that (excluding cellphone moments), before he became a pilot... </3 I think if the circumstances were different, Stella and Shinn could have worked as a couple -either as friends or lovers. If Stella received the treatment and care she needed to be okay mentally, and developed her identity further, Shinn could have bonded with Stella for who she is, instead of a war victim who he feels he needs to protect. I like that Stella's innocence when they're together shows us a side of Shinn that isn't angry, but as someone who is caring and even gentle. :) Ideal scenario aside, it was clear they were important to each other – Shinn placed the shell Stella gave him in a jar and smiled, and he was hesitant and so hurt when he returned Stella to Neo... :( Stella held onto Shinn's handkerchief as well, and did remember him somehow after he brought her to the Minerva, despite not remembering him initially since Neo removed him from her memories. :( Shinn was the only person who didn’t manipulate Stella, as he genuinely cared for her safety, so I think that’s why he’s so special to her. SO, I don't know how exactly to label Shinn and Stella, but they definitely had a connection! <3
I was not fond of Lunamaria and Shinn as a pairing, lol. I don't understand Lunamaria in the romance department - she initially had a crush on Athrun, which ended(?) after she saw Meer in Athrun's room. But to be honest, I don't understand the fuss she made - she already thought Athrun and Lacus were engaged, so what was the big deal?.? I don't know what the emotional or thought process was on Lunamaria's part. Also, Shinn held such intense emotions for Stella, so how did he move on and choose to be with Lunamaria? At most, I thought Lunamaria comforted Shinn after he failed to protect Stella. Perhaps the (romantic?) arrangement worked, when Lunamaria cried as she clung onto Shinn, because she thought Meyrin died? So, you're right about Lunamaria and Shinn being thrown together, without development. >< Lunamaria and Shinn have known each other for a while, so I would assume that if they had feelings, they’d notice earlier. Even if the two didn’t recognize their feelings sooner, I’d like to see HOW or WHEN they began to view each other romantically, no longer as fellow pilots or friends.

XD I'll never forgive the way Flay manipulated Kira. -____- When Flay died and said, "Let my true feelings protect you," I still don't know what her true feelings are! O______O Poor Kira for carrying the guilt of not protecting her... |
