TOKYOPOP's Anime Dream Dates

We asked, you voted - your anime Valentine's are here.

Our imaginations tend to run wild, so rather than curb those ambitions, we decided to reel yours in by asking our readers which anime character they'd most like to spend Valentine's Day with. Whether you're spending the day watching some of the greatest anime romances or the bloodiest anime, we can all agree that these would make for some seriously interesting dates.

Yuno Gasai (Future Diary) – We admit this was a bit of an odd choice, but we let you guys make it and you chose the super sweet girl that’s kind of super crazy. On the upside, her hair color is wildly appropriate for the holiday and when you’ve caught her good side she’s as pleasant as they come. On the downside, if you’ve caught her bad side, you might not make it to the goodnight kiss (or out of the restaurant alive). Worth the risk? We think so!  

Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) – Aside from all the cheesy jokes you could make about her last name, Faye would make a fabulous Valentine! She loves shiny presents and taking her to even the most basic of restaurants would be a huge leg up from the grub she got in Spike’s care. Plus, you already know she doesn’t really mind being handcuffed to things. You know…in case she commits a crime or something. Why, what were you thinking?  

Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji) – Again with the sometimes lovable, sometimes psycho Valentine’s choice, but hey – it’s your Valentine’s Day, we’re just here to report our findings. Of course, we can all admit it’d be pretty nice to have someone wait on us hand and foot, and can you imagine hearing “Yes, my Lord (or Lady)” purred into your ear? Alright, you guys win, dating a demon is definitely worth the pampering!  

Inuyasha (Inuyasha) – Soft, cuddly…obedient, Inuyasha is everything a Valentine should be. You could spend your evening together watching movies, making dinner, collecting jewel shards and hey, if he gets out of line, you can always slam him face-first into the ground with the power of your voice! Who needs a cheap stuffed animal when your date already is one?!  

Franken Stein (Soul Eater) – More than half this list is filled with part-time psychopaths – what does that say about our voters? If your idea of a perfect Valentine’s evening is a scarred gentleman drawing what could be incision marks on your body, then Stein is your man! Maybe you could convince him to keep the dissecting to cheap teddy bears and Whitman's Chocolate Samplers?
