Awesome post Kor! That was an interesting I think your reasoning is very valid. Thanks for taking the time to write that <3.
Since I just got back to Canada and need to practice my English I'll write one too ^^. I have a weird way of saying things, I hope you don't mind me language.
For me I'm not a fan of any couple in particular though my main couple is RanxAi as many of you should have the unfortunate experience of me shoving it into your face and forcing you to digest it <3.
But yes this is the ShinRan thread so I'll tell you why I like ShinRan. And maybe I'll talk about ConanAi too even though it's off topic.
I like Shinichi and Ran because they're childhood friends and can actually act their age around each other. I can picture their dynamic being a very comfortable one. Both Shinichi and Ran has this ridiculous "super nice and perfect" streak around people. But while they're together though they can poke fun at each other, make fun of each other, insult each other, threaten to break poles (Ran), or bring up embarrassing childhood memories of each other. It's just great seeing "Miss angel Ran" being a bit mean and "Mr. perfect Shinichi" being the perverted 17 year old detective nerd he is (he looked under Ran's skirt lol).
I also like how they like each other over a period of time, especially through the difficult years where everyone act like bastards. Shinichi and Ran have seen each other's flaws, yet manage to stay best friends/ secret crushes. It's also kinda cool how we saw "the moment" where Ran started to think of Shinichi as being cool and not her weirdo best friend. It's not love at first sight, it's "hey this wierdo is not so bad" to "omfg this bastard has been pissing me off constantly for 17 years but I love him anyways".
I love how they're afraid to lose each other so they act protective and jealous over each other. The image of Ran kicking down a door while chasing down Shinichi in his Conan form is just hillarious to me xD. The image of Shinichi flipping out when Ran does something dangerous is funny too (I'm so sadistic). They're willing to go far to keep each other. I like that honesty and the drive.
Lastly I love how they care for each other and how they put each other over themselves. It's just great seeing two people caring about each other so much. Gives me warm fuzzies, which is saying something because I don't usually feel anything in my small rotten uncaring heart.
wow...so impressive! almost converted me! ......Almost....
I was going to quote Kor...but it was long...and I'm in school...Anyway, I want to say that I do agree with Kor on a lot of points, especially when he says that it is a hard romance to find in the real world, yet, it is more average than the average in DC's world. However, I never thought their romance fit the tone of the story, and in fact made it more "kiddy" than it would have been. I think a mystery show should have more "Mysterious" and complex relationship encounters. I feel that without their romance getting involved we would've had more plot related volumes, focusing more towards the BO and mysteries. Ran's part to me in the volumes are kind of a hinderence (along with Dboys mysteries) to the direction of the plot. I know that he wants to go back to Ran, but her involvement within the rest of the story is not needed, in my opinion. Hopefully, for the Ran fans sake he will give Ran more of an important role instead of just "girl that waits for Shinichi". And the fact that they started from the beginning of the story as childhood friends, Shinichi already knowing she loved him, it seems kind of a rushed Romance within the story even though they are childhood friends. More important, I feel that that are way too perfect seperately, and when they come together the romance seems very "cumbayaa" or simply too plastic. It doesn't seem natural, in my opinion. If they had partners that shared their same ideas on life, yet had personalities you would least expect them to have, then it would make both of their relationships interesting and complex and it would seem more like natural love than just "we're childhood friends" the end.
I do agree that Ran and Shinichi are the only normal ones...(well Ran is anyway) but together they are too normal for what I expect from a detective story.
Yoru: (drunk with lampshade cover on head) Horray for the Godzilla posts!!!!
@ soratothemax
I get your point. I don't think we have any permanent love interests in life...until we got married, at least. Also, most childhood friendships don't last that long anymore these days. But hey, there are still a certain few who have that kind of love story!
and of course we have time to kill! Especially here in the Philippines. It's summer.
...Unfortunately, it's also insanely hot in here and we haven't gone to the beach or to the pool..yet.
OOOO!!! I want to go! I wish I lived there! I'm so jealous! I wish I was there. I don't live near a beach, I live in a city....

Me too! I'd like to see his romantic side more often! Yeah, sure, DC is a mystery anime/manga, but hey, they're teenagers who actually have lives outside the crime scene!
Yoru: (rolls eyes) Translation: I really wanna see Shinichi blush and get nervous like how he acted in the restaurant.
I ADORE those fics, but the third one in the series, Coming Home, despite being equally adorable and sad and lovely, is unfinished and has been for a couple of years now. Becky posted a oneshot recently so she's still alive, but i'm not sure if she's ever going to finish that, or Relative Truth, which sucks because it's also awesome XDXD

Yeah, that's why I didn't link to Coming Home since I personally hate reading unfinished fics that are on hiatus. As for Becky, she's still alive, but life's sucking up too much of her attention and time. Ah well, school can do that to ya. College nearly killed all the love/time I had for DC.
