I have watched so many anime. This is one of the best love confession scene in all anime I've ever seen. You can find this scene in SHUFFLE! episode 21.
The story between Tsuchimi Rin and Shigure Asa was not the main focus in the first half of the anime. In early episodes, I'm sure that most people were speculating about either Sia or Nerine will end up with Rin.
After watching episode 7, I personally hoped that Rin will end up with Asa instead of Sia, Nerine or Kaede.
And... as the story moved on, they really built the most romantic love development storyline between Rin and Asa. Unlike any other "common" anime where beautiful girls unreasonably fall in love with an average man with nothing special; Asa really showed to everyone that she's the one who understand Rin the most. She won his heart not by chasing around him and repeating "I love you" over and over again. She won his heart not by trying to make him choose her. She simply support whatever decision Rin made, and become "the place to turn to" for Rin.
Rin's love confession to Asa is also special. I watched it more than 10 times before I decided to make a special page about it ^_^
If you haven't watched SHUFFLE!, then you won't understand why I like this scene so much =)
I didn't know so much went on between you and Kaede
I shouldn't have asked you about it so casually
I'm sorry
It's ok, I was just desperate to keep her alive That's so like you I go with my instincts I know how she feels
I couldn't really believe that she hated you
When she joined the cooking club in junior high,
I asked her why she was joining I want to get better at cooking
to repay him for his kindness
I hurt him by making false accusation
But I'm who I am today because of him
I knew she was referring to you, Rin-chan
But I didn't know what happened between you two
and I really wanted to know
I'm so sorry
It's ok, I wanted you to know, too You did? Why? Well...
I think it's for the same reason you wanted to hear it
Oh, your face is turning red N-not really
Anyway, why did you come to my house
and ask me to go for a walk?
Did you need to talk to me? Yes, I told Kaede about you
I hadn't told her directly before
and it's not just her, I've never told you either
Asa-sempai,
As a man, I swear, more than anybody else,
I love you
Please go out with me
...
Asa-sempai?
About your story earlier...
How Kaede hated you
and how you suffered so much
Wasn't it hard? I'd be lying if I said no
But I only wanted to protect Kaede No matter how bad she treated you? The only good thing about me is that I'm tolerant
You're strong That's not true You are... just as much as her As her?
She sacrificed herself
She endured being treated and spoken to harshly
and yet she kept protecting her only child
So, are you going to protect me?
Just like the person who I admire the most in this world
I will, no matter what
You were cool just now
It made me feel a little fuzzy inside
