I personally haven't shipped as much as I have with Naruto and Sakura oh and Luffy and Nami. So I guess I'm more of a shipper that supports couples that seem likely to happen in the story. When I first starting watching anime in the early 90's the internet wasn't very commercial so being able to get online and talk about couples you supported wasn't really around. Anyhow I usually ship really hard when crack parings become too much to bare. I think Naruto and One piece are the last stories I will ship in. I normally dont watch a billion animes at a time like I use too when I was younger. One piece is at like what 15yrs and Naruto just turned 10, so I stick with longer running animes. The relationships have longer to develop
