The irony, it buuuuuurns

[taotrooper]

As I said in that post I made when I read the Magic Knight Rayearth manga, I happen to like Clef/Presea. I'm not exactly sure why, though. They've completely different personalities, and Clef doesn't seem interested in her in any canon -I understood they had Presea fallen in love with him in the anime, and so was her Sue twin sister, but I can't find manga proofs of those feelings yet.

I don't know, they look cute. And they are friends, you know.

And this is weird, as visually speaking this couple has a fat Eriol/Kaho parallel -couple I don't hate like Eriol/Tomoyo but can't exactly approve of, since I have a bias towards Kaho. Clef and Eriol are older than they look like, are wise and crafty magicians, and are trapped in a kid's body. Kaho and Presea physically resemble each other, although the latter is way dorkier. Unlike Kaho, I truly like Presea, and I'm happy they didn't kill her in the manga.

However, the fandom prefers Clef/Umi because the anime is stupid and gave some hints on Umi liking him or something. Haven't seen it all, not sure. Hence, Clef/Umi is, like, the Eriol/Tomoyo of MKR. Fanon liek whoa, and unrealistic in canon terms. Clef won't look at Umi-chan that way, never.

Sadly, Clef/Presea is not exactly the Eriol/Kaho, considering it's not canon either. And probably fanits hate Presea because she's "the competition."

Anyway, my point is this. I was reading a Presea profile today, and I was both amused and freaked out when I realized her seiyuu is Shinohara Emi. Why is that, you ask?

She shares seiyuu with Kaho.

And moreover, Clef? His seiyuu is Sasaki Nozomu. That's Eriol's.

...I'm speechless. The irony is strong in this pairing.

I don't remember any Umi/Clef subtext in the TV anime. Was it in that horrible OVA? Maybe that's were it came from. Ascot's annoying too, but in the end I don't think Umi could care about any of them. I was always a big Ferio/Fuu fan, they are so cute.

Too bad CLAMP probably doesn't share my love of the idea of Hikaru/Eagle/Lantis. Come on CLAMP, you've done everything else, give us one three-way!

In manga there's the three-way! As Eagle didn't die, Hikaru keeps saying she likes both Lantis and Eagle and wants to marry both (OMGbigamy!)

I don't know about the anime, as I just saw the first part, but I've read in several fansites that some people think they see hints in some scenes. Or maybe ClefUmiers are like Harmonians in the HP fandom or Eriol/Tomoyo shippers in the CCS fandom, and delude themselves?

Because being close (or even not-so-close) friends always leads to romance. If it doesn't, it's the author's fault for breaking the rules of the universe. Do they have all the wacky symbolism like Harmonians, or do they skip right to the "They look cute together!" like E/T?

New app at t_d. OFC. I want to discuss with someone before voting. Will you be on MSN?

No clue. I hope not. MKR deals with enough symbolism in canon, mind you.

I'll login now

I know the manga so set it up for a three-way, but I can't shake that weird little one shot crossover comic with Lantis drapped over Hikaru with Eagle chilling in the background. Then again, maybe he's just not as possesive as Lantis.

Hikaru/Eagle/Lantis forever. Hikaru didn't have to choose a pillar, who says she has to choose a guy? Besides, Lantis is boring and one demensional.
