Yuri And Shoujo-Ai
Jeannette:
Oh dude, the Utena movie is unbelievable. I love it so much. You definitely need to see it. The DVD has director's commentary from Kunihiko Ikuhara that you should also watch, just so it makes a little more sense. Not that it will ever entirely make sense, but... it will make more sense. Some of my favorite memories are of corrupting my friends with that movie. But don't watch it until you've seen the entirety of the anime series; the movie and the series may have nothing to do with each other, but the movie is even more confusing unless you know all the basic characters and their flaws and strengths. And there are a few in-jokes from the T.V. series in the movie as well.

I like shoujo-ai! But probably less than shounen-ai, since I haven't seen as much of it as shounen-ai. I like HarukaxMichiru and SakuraxTomoyo (even though I love SyaoranxSakura more ^^). I've never seen any of Utena ^^; or the last season of Sailor Moon. All I know is that Usagi belongs with Mamoru. =)
I'm kind of seeing some hints in Bleach... but that could just be me. @__@;;

Shoujo-ai, shounen-ai, straightness... Gender doesn't matter to me, as long as the couple seem right for each other. I couldn't bother with porn though, be it same-sexed or the counterpart.
My favourite shoujo-ai couple would definetly be... (spoiler for .hack//SIGN) Show contentTsukasa and Subaru. The way they love each other even though never having met in the real world (until at the very end, that is), thus basing their relationship on personality rather than physical attraction appeals to me. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that they're just some kind of platonic friends, because there clearly is a tension between them even before they get to know each other. However, I'd say they're drawn to each other because of their mutual feelings of loneliness, and also how Subaru sees herself in Tsukasa - they are both victims in this world; Subaru being disabled and trapped in her own body while Tsukasa likewise cannot escape the prison of The World. If I believed in soulmates, I'd say these two are.
Hotaru and Michiru are pretty cute together, and I also like the relationship between Sakura and Tomoyo (although I wouldn't want them to be together, partly because I prefer unrequieted love, but also because Sakura, for me, is the very image of an innocent child and thus I have a problem seeing her paired with anybody whatsoever. I don't even like Shaoran/Sakura *hides*) even though I don't agree with the persons above who say that there seems to be nothing more than friendship between Tomoyo and Sakura in the anime. Me, I watched the anime before reading the manga, and I thought it perfectly clear that Tomoyo loved our cardcaptor as more than a friend.
