I loved how 2x2=Shinobuden's opening credits sequence showed the titular character fighting what appeared to be her evil twin, only to have this character never actually appear.

I'm actually surprised Osomatsu came out ahead of Todomatsu. In many of the Japanese polls, he's dead last.

I've only seen the anime, but I'd say Vash totally sees the world in black and white

I'd say that Knives sees the world only in black, while Vash sees it only in white (based on the anime, at least).

Man, I don't think ill read or watch To-Love-Ru Darkness, but I can't help but respect its upfront-ness in being maybe the only true "harem series" by actually trying to form a literal harem. Gotta give props when that kind of series fully acknowledges its own ridiculousness.

Haruka and Sora should have been on the list just for giggles...
or the twins for Boku Wa Imouto-whatever-the-rest-of-the-title-was for the same reasons...
or Aki and Sora...

Yeah, Aki is Sora's older sister. Nami is his twin.

The twins in Ghost Hunt should've made the list. And if you don't know who the twins in Ghost Hunt are, I won't give it away.

As for "dissimilar", I didn't even KNOW Kagami and Tsukasa in Lucky Star were supposed to be polar-opposite "One moe, one tsundere" twins (well, they both had purple hair, but who doesn't?) until the script bothered to mention it.

Can't help but feel that Vash and Knives should have been higher on the list.

My favorite OP movie is the sixth one (Baron Omatsuri). Strong World is on the second place, though.

Shion and Suo Pavlichenko! Those two epitomize this for me.

No Kyou and Ryou Fujibayashi? They're the first ones that came to mind when I saw the title for this week's list.

Also, the twins from Durarara! surprised me when I first saw them. Okay, maybe they themselves didn't really surprise me, it was the fact that they'd make out that surprised me.

true enough. especially since sora and nami are complete opposites. unfortunately since the series is R-18 which is an auto avoid at all cost scenario, and its storyline of twincest romance is inferior towards the likes of Koi Kaze , Angel Sanctuary and just recently WIXOSS, afraid you cant include those two.Not to mentioned they pale in comparison to haruka and sora.

and speaking of twins into one another, i'm very surprised that Setsuna and Sara from Angel Sanctuary isnt included into the list. probably cause since it was an OVA and was basically just a promo OVA to get people to read the manga. But they definitely should at least get a mention cause though they were twins, they were not similar to one another at all other than their feelings for each other.

Not to mentioned those twins from Onegai Twins. if Haruka and Sora gets included, those two have to at least get a mention.


Regardless, how in the world did vash and knives get into number 4??? Way too low on this list. sure they pale in comparison towards the troubled life those twins from monster have but they should at least have been number 2 at most.

Also i wont be surprised if the Cursed Sword gets chosen in this week's poll. personally i prefer the Z movie, then the 8th. while strong world is good , was a little too goofy for my taste. especially when it came to shiki. though the 8th movie was definitely a good movie (even though it really altered some parts from the anime version of the alabasta arc). especially on the US side since it was the debut of Funi's VA and MOST IMPORTANTLY , the rest of us can finally expunge the atrocious version from the horror that is 4kids into oblivion
