    Enemies in love in anime

    Like This Thread!
    Any good examples of anime where sworn enemies fall in love despite themselves, ala Buffy & Angel or Romeo & Juliet?

    This happens often in anime. Recently I saw Windaria, which is quite similar to Romeo & Juliet in that the couple"s respective kingdoms are at war and they have a less than happy ending.

    Of course it also happens in Macross, where Max Sterling falls in love with an enemy pilot sent to kill him.

    I'm sure it happens quite often in the Gundam universe.

    ...

    Char and Amuro from Mobile Suit.

    Molly and her Negaverse boyfriend, while not exactly being "enemies", she was a regular girl and he was a, well, bad guy.

    Spoilers for DBZ, Saint Seiya and Doremi

    Spoiler:

    Pretty much every couple in DBZ were enemies or rivals at one point. This includes Goku/Chi-Chi (They fought against each other in the tournament), Vegeta/Bulma, Krilin/A-18 and Gohan/Videl.

    There's also Shaina and Seiya in "Saint Seiya". She wants to kill him first but then she realizes she loves him.

    In Ojamajo Doremi Sharp (the second season), Doremi falls in love with this male counterpart of her, who is supposed to be her rival. I don't remember the name of this kid, though.

    The name of the Negaverse general that Molly (Naru) falls for is Nephlite.

    I think you mean Amuro and Lalah Though you're correct in that they both fought over her.
    As said, it happens alot in Gundam. Random examples would be Bernie/Chris and Kou/Nina (hey, she was kind of torn between him and the EF and Gato and Zeon)

    Another example I can think of is that bridge officer and the Jovian pilot from Nadesico.

    No, I meant Amuro and Char.

    C'mon, the whole Lalah thing was a cover-up. One pilots a pink Zaku, the other doesn't want to fight... they just keep on having a lover's tiff.

    eh, not really. She warms up to Naruto as a friend rather quickly, but if you need a Naruto ref I've heard that

    No. Just no. He pilots a Red Zaku, and Gundam Wing was the Bishonen Mecha series, not MS Gundam. So just, no.

    Uh...I think Lady Poison and Ban from Get Backers were sort of enemies. Then there is Raiha and Fuuko from Flame of Recca, and that love triangle between Spike, Julia, and Vicous in Cowboy Bebop.

    Gundam is a blood and guts war series, not some girly show. At least the Gundams I've seen anyway.
