Golden Time

Anime which takes place in a college.

These are the cream of the crop when it comes to slice of life romance anime. All of these shows do one thing exceptionally well, whether that be comedy, characters, or romance.

My collection for romantic-comedy drama animes. This kind of formula is one of the major things in terms of romance. A pinched of humor and romance, but mostly it have the most dramatic element. Some of these animes are truly tearjerking and kinda frustrating to watch XD But these are my recommendations that you might give an interest.

Sometimes we get tired of the amount shows that takes place in high school and want just something different.

Cool, nice, sweet and handsome collection of gentlemen. Romance is optional! ;)

Heya! Thanks for checking by
There is never enought love and so romance genre animes are always here to help us on our bad days..
These are some of the best Romance animes I could recommend from my journey in anime world.

Notes: *There might be many different genres like school life, fantasy, isekai ones, but Harem ones are not included.
*Also if anime has second,third seasons etc. they are not included in the list so you will have to check yourself if there is one!

Instead of sticking only to the most recognizable animes in the romantic genre, I also added some that you might not have heard about or seen before.

Romance Anime that set the bar for what a romance anime should be.
(Based on popularity, success and ratings)

If you're tired of the clichéd "Meet > Fall in love > Get together" plot, this is for you, as the couples in this anime are already together before or by the end of the first few episodes!

A list of Romance/School focused animes. There are also some comedy animes, besides some drama but not a heavy one.

I wrote a note in every anime I've watched.

Some romantic anime which may have an unexpected or emotional scene to it that may make you want to cry or feel empty inside. Keep in mind some of these entries only have a little romantic subtext. This list includes no side stories.

The romance as a genre, in it's typical sense, is a hit or miss for most of us, and this is understandable. Each of us had different outlook on life, our experience has shaped our personalities by particular ways, and the way we comprehend the fragile and gentle feelings of love within ourselves is something very personal.

But then again, some stories, despite not having entirely romantic focus, can portray relationships and can be felt deeply. Shows like these rarely does get the spotlight for this reasons, and are oftenly skipped by people who're usually interested in the romance aspect of things, which is one of the reasons this collection was made.

Some of these works have interesting variety of genres, themes and moods, but in each of them you can find a hint of, if not well explored, romance. As well as that, some romances that are breaking the mold of the usual adaptations are included, since they're rarely well explored within the fandom, and deserve our appreciation.
