Anime Love Teams from 70's up to the present

Some animes that I've been watched were never be forgotten and now considered this as a classic anime. I cannot forget these pairing on the series are actually love teams.

Richard (Kazuya) and Erika

This classic anime is after both Combattler V and Voltes V. Richard has strong feelings towards Erika despite she's a wing or featherfolk and the sister of the antagonist Prince Orac who accidentally kills his father during the peace treaty. These two are a strong item even they show them kissing in the ending theme.

Yusuke (Eugene) and Keiko (Jenny) 

In Yu Yu Hakusho or known as Ghost Fighter, Yusuke's spirit energy is enhanced due to his protective nature to Keiko as seen when he is desperate to defeat Suzaku when he sees her being in danger as well as in the dark tournament when he fights against the younger Toguro. He shown to have feeling for her before going back to the demon world during the demon arc. In the end both are stll reunited in the finale episode. 

Usagi and Mamoru

In the anime Sailor Moon, Usagi and Mamoru are the reincarnated forms of both Princess Serenity and Prince Endimyon in which they have feelings for each other in the past. In Sailor Stars, Mamoru gave her the promise ring before departing to the United States to study abroad. Both are seen fighting together against enemies in every season.


Momoko/Wedding Peach and Yousuke/Viento

In the anime, Wedding Peach both Momoko and Yousuke are hating each other in early episodes when he teases Momoko as "Momopi" until they developed their strong feelings with each other during the first and second season. In the finale episode, both Momoko and Yousuke's love wave enables to purify the main antagonist Rain Devilla after she zaps both of them with her strong evil wave causing Wedding Peach's heart brooch is broken into pieces. Momoko is a half-angel human hybrid whereas Yousuke is a half-devil human hybrid in which both hybrids are possible to fall in love with each other despite they are different races and their relationship was love-hate based.

Recca and Yanagi (Anna)

In Flame of Recca, Recca has feelings towards Yanagi after saving her from being hit in the pile of pipes and later in Kurei's mansion when she was abducted by Kurei's henchmen, Mokuren and Kaoru. He calls Yanagi as hime or princess in the anime. In the manga version, he sacrifices her as a healing white flame similar to Kurei who also sacrifices Kurenai with his flames.

Hibari and Crane

In Cyberteam in Akihabara, Hibari was dreaming of her prince, Crane who gives a Pata-Pi to her in the beginning of the episode. Both have feelings for each other as Crane calls Hibari as his Anima Mundi who will be protected by Christian's desperate measures or Takashi's motives before rebelling. In the finale episode, Hibari cries while in her diva state after seeing her prince was really evil who shows his scheme towards them. When the divas leave to re rout the Primum Mobile, Hibari was desperate to get Densuke back to Crane and swears that he is not her prince. Crane sadly replies that she maybe right and she was still his Anima Mundi as he kisses her before departing.

Miaka and Tamahome/Taka

In Fushigi Yuugi and it's OVA movies, both have feelings with each other even they sacrifice their lives. Miaka's wish for the Suzaku is to be with Tamahome but instead to return the book where it was as her world was destroyed during the clash of both Seiryu and Suzaku. In the OVA version Tamahome has been reincarnated as Taka and both fell in love with each other even in Eikoden as a married couple.

Aya and Touya

In Ayashi no Ceres the anime after Fushigi Yuugi, Touya has strong feelings towards Aya despite that he's working with Aya's cousin as Aki's bodyguard. Both half of their faces are seen kissing as they made love in off-screen which results Aya to be conceived with Touya's child up to the finale. In the opening theme of this anime, Both Touya and Aya are seen making love during the opening and this is the reason why it does not show in the 17th episode where they went intimate in off-screen.

Duck (Ahiru) and Fakir

In Princess Tutu the anime after Cyberteam in Akihabara, Duck is afraid of Fakir due to his overprotective nature to Mythos and his fury. But she saw him as a nice person when she was in her duck form. In the second season, Fakir has feelings towards Duck and is willing to sacrifice to write to save Mythos as Prince Siegfried in saving Rue against his ancestor Drosselmeyer while Duck helps him.    
 
Eikichi and Azusa


In the anime, GTO or known as Great Teacher Onizuka, Eikichi has a crush on Azusa after saving her from Uchiyamada due to his perverted actions. But Azusa has feelings towards him but he is unaware of her even in the finale where he was teaching in America. In the live action, both are seen getting married.

Jin and Xiaoyu

In the animated movie, Tekken: Blood Vengeance despite they are not portrayed as love teams. Jin is mostly seen as an anti-hero whereas Xiaoyu as a heroine just like both Jun and Kazuya in the animated movie, Tekken: The Motion Picture. Both were long-time friends since high school in their debut appearance in the game Tekken 3. Xiaoyu is commonly seen to have feelings towards Jin even she denies to her friends as seen in her ending in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Xiaoyu seems to like Jin whenever she thinks about him. In Jin's case he does not showing his feelings towards her but in a manner of friendship and is unaware of her feelings and crush on him as well as wanted to make her safe due to his Devil Gene. When Jin saw Xiaoyu cries after his android, Alisa was crushed by Devil Kazuya. This prompts him to transform into Devil Jin until he regains control of his new devil form. After he defeated his grandfather and the monster Mokujin, He maintains his friendship to her while in his devil form after he tells her to await him in his challenge.
