Am I blind or what? Good funny romance anime... School Days. Do you want to say that you like stories in the school setting or do you like the anime titled ' school days'. I thought it was School Rumble, i was going to recommend it first and foremost. Anyways here are my recommendations, some had romance as a sub-plot:

Toradora, Tatami Galaxy, Bakemonogatari, Kimi ni Todoke, Maison Ikkoku(haven't seen it myself but been planning watch this, they say it's really good and works if you're not bothered by old animation)

I related the Anime School Days to an annime where stuff happens ^^ and the part of School Days that i liked was that he had parts where he was dedicated to one girl. And i liked the ending, i will learn from his misstakes so that shit doesn't happen to me :P thanks for the tips though ^^

You can also Try True Tears, Bokura Ga Ita, and Kimikiss Pure Rouge. Lots of drama and stuff happening in those.

Yes I know what you mean, I watched some clips of Schools Days and I don't really think it falls under the category of romance. I watched Spice and Wolf, Skip Beat, and Maid- Sama, these also have drama in them.

I don;t mind a story line that's a bit stretched out but I thought that one was too much. I liked Usuis personality in maid sama a lot if anyone knows of anything with characters like that. I'm sorry if this is confusingly written, but thank you in advance!

Okay so i had created a thread here- http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=486787 , in hopes of getting good recommendations but to no use, so i will post it here, maybe i will get good recommendations from here.

I m looking for animes that are similar to -

1] have the romantic setting/feeling similar to spice and wolf, nodame cantbille , bakemonogatari

2] or animes that are similar to Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari [the rom + com +harem + adventure part ] , bakemonogatari [ rom + badass action ]

3] or little bit of romance [including the comedy that comes with romance genre ] [HAREM , ECCHI accepatable] with interesting story or adventure/action genre like Darker than Black [ i dont rember other ones at this moment]

4] or where there is little romance [including the comedy that comes with romance genre ] but the main character is Badass or very powerful from start like DTB, Chrome shelled regios

To say it in BROADER TERMS what i m looking for is adventure /action genre with some [or more ] romance with comedy [harem , ECCHI acceptable ]

To say SPECIFICALLY i have mentioned those 4 POINTS ABOVE , u can recommend me any animes similar to ones that satisfy any of the 4 points above . What i want the most are the ones similar to Spice n wolf, nodame , bakemonogatari, Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari

CHECK MY ANIME LIST - http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Persius
before recommending me anything , Also take a note of the ones of ON-HOLD animes in my list bcoz due to some reason i was not able to watch them n a lot of time passed afetr wathcing their 1 or 2 episodes , so had not touched them so if u know of any good ones that fall in my ON-HOLD list BE SURE TO TELL THOSE TOO.

I HAVE HIGH HOPES FROM ALL OF YOU . I HAVE GOT TOO TIRED SEARCHING FOR THE BEST ONES [what i all find are the average orjust feel good ones and so i have come here once again for your recommendations]

Note : Dont say Toradora , Lovely complex , etc... i m not looking for these kinda ones. I wont be watching Shakugan no shana so dont recommend it.

No ONE PIECE [too many episodes , i know its awesome in terms of actn, adventure genre but cant keep up with so many episodes , i m looking for something thsat has less than 50 episodes or so...]

No heavily drama genre based ones , please ,i dont want something like clannad,etc... similar

Also dont suggest very old animes like from year 1996 or earlier , it pains my eyes to see the animation art of that time

And Most importantly I want Happy Ending in the anime.

So thats it friends ,i am waiting for your expert RECOMMENDATIONS !!!

The Ova did indeed start before 1996, but I think the art is fine. You have many things on your list that fit the bill- some in your PTW list. One I don't see that is Adventure, comedy, romance is Earl & Fairy

Code geass r2 (since u only watched season 1)? Has a little bit of romance, the main character is pretty badass, and is shounen/action genre.

Princess mononoke (aired in 1997 so its fairly old but its a movie by studio ghibli so its far from ugly) action/fantasy genre with some romance in it.

Macross frontier romance (with music) Action Scifi genre

Rurouni kenshin (the anime and the OVA samurai X:trust and betrayal [the ova has alot of drama and romance but the character is badass]),anime has some romance elements as well as comedy

Im not sure if this fits into ur criteria but Genshiken [its about college students in a club called (Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture) they are pretty much otakus and gamers and they are trying to make doujin etc.]It wasnt too bad slice of life comedy with a little bit of romance.

Blood + (vampires action)

Shigurui (action) Old japan samurai sword fighting (pretty graphic)

Last Exile (not the new one) vanship action/adventure?

Kyou no go no ni (romance comedy) pretty interesting, its elementary school kids' take on romance, pretty funny imo

Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou (action/romance) Badass ninjas (not naruto ninjas)

Berserk (1997 as well but i think the animation and art is alright) Guts is just too badass (action genre)
