I know this is another somewhat generic question, so my apologies, i usually stick to asking for less generic stuff if i can.

Im looking for an anime with little to no drama and preferably they become a couple early on. I just watched https://myanimelist.net/anime/35968/Wotaku_ni_Koi_wa_Muzukashii and liked that, though some more development would've been nice.

Other good examples are B Gata H Kei, Ore Monogatari, Bokura wa Minna, and Kaichou wa Maid Sama

Please no Clannad/Golden Time anime where there is lots of drama. If possible check out my list. It isnt completely up to date anymore, but I have a lot of anime on there still.

Edit: Preferably a non annoying MC as well. For example not someone like in 3D kanojo real girl, because he is too annoying.

Tsurezure Children is a nice thing to watch, but it depicts a lot of couples and is somewhat short.

You could try Nodame Cantabile as well, but there's some drama.

There's Akkun to Kanojo as well, haha.


    Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores
    To clasp the bosom that my soul adores,

Yeah all of the good ones that I am seeing while I look right now are depicting multiple couples, which I am not looking for that much :/

Ill check out Nodame Cantabile, thanks.

This is more common in manga. Haven't seen any anime that does this personally.

REC has touches of drama (one of the mains house burns down), but mostly it's a good-natured romance. An early work by now famous director Shimbo Akiyuki and Studio SHAFT.

Have you tried My Little Monster (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun)?

https://myanimelist.net/anime/14227/Tonari_no_Kaibutsu-kun

Its been a while since I watched it but I don't remember it being too dramatic and there is a confession + kiss in the very first episode. Only downside is you'll have to read the manga (which is superior to the anime anyways imo) afterward to get a conclusive ending to the story. It isn't my favorite romance anime but I did enjoy my time with it. It has a lot of cute and sweet moments and I think it's definitely worth giving a try.

I saw them while looking for anime last night, the Tsuki ga Kirei I didnt watch cause how young they are and I was hoping to find something with an older couple, but I may check it out when I feel like a younger couple anime. Thanks.

Thanks for the huge list, ill go through it and see if I can find anything I like.


Surprised you remembered me, I didnt really talk to many people outside of giving rec's when I was active, almost all my post are just recommendations lol. I've been pretty good, slowed down on the anime cause its hard to find stuff, but i still always try to have 1-2 at a time, mostly end up rewatching stuff though.

Also, Your Lie In April has been on my watch list since I started watching anime basically lol, I watched clannad and heard it was sad too, so I put it off, then just never picked it back up. I hate sad anime cause I get mad and bummed for way too long after watching them haha.

Ah hey, I think I have a good one. It has a sub and dub. It's called My Love Story. It's pretty cheesy, but has little drama and it's pretty cute. And a bonus is that they get together really quickly so the anime is mostly about there relationship. Sadly, there isn't many other anime like this one where they get together quickly and there's little drama, but it's the best I can do for now. If I find anything else, I'll let you know. I hope I was at least a little helpful!
Love is something that people want, but trust is the first step you must take. This makes genuine love almost un-achievable after trust has been broken so many times. Weigh your options and see if it's worth it to trust again. Chances are, you'll choose what hurts you most without even realizing it.

No worries man, I saw you made a post asking for revenge anime. Try out Kaze no Stigma.

You may also like Rokka No Yuusha, Katanagatari, Claymore, and Akatsuki no Yona

Edit: Oh, and Code Geass, though I havent finished that one after I got annoyed with one thing in season 1, but its pretty good, and ill probably finish it sometime.

I found Code Geass a bit annoying as well, so I get it. And, I remember Claymore. I actually really liked that anime, I just never finished it....I can't remember why, but I'll probably pick it back up.

I dropped Akatuki no Yona due to I think it was a bathing scene? Where she was naked and there were leeches on her legs.

Should pick it back up, its not ecchi at all really, none of those are, the most they have is one or two scenes like that. Rokka No Yuusha would be my to pick out of those. Kaze no Stigma is the most revenge based, and Katanagatari is also revenge based somewhat and very good, but you need to watch a few episoded to get past the anime style probably.

Yeah, one or two scenes is enough for me to leave. If it's not following the no suggestive anime rule I have then it might as well be dead to me.

Ah yes Shigatsu made me feel sad for a day or two even after I finished it!
In any case, at least one anime in that list should be good for you.
Even I don't watch a lot of anime these days. I have possibly run out of my type of anime.
I have moved on to Light Novels and Manga.
Most new anime that come out these days, I have already read their source material.
Like in this season I read Tate and Kaguya-sama way before their anime were even announced. Same goes for Slime, Overlord s2 & s3 and a bunch of others like SAO : Alicization.
If you ever feel like it,ask me for some LN recommendations someday :p

Bunny girl senpai maybe? The romance is a subplot though, and there is character drama (just very little of it directed at the romance). I really liked the protagonist too. He's cheeky, and that felt refreshing. The romance is established a lot earlier than you'd expect.

Actually in the middle of watching this when I wrote this post, I just kind of settled on it and its very good. MC is one of my favorite in a long time.

Don't worry LNs come in an epub format which is the best for reading on a phone.
Well yes, good LNs,manga that may get an anime adaption will be spoiled for you but trust me most anime adapts are half baked anyway. You would start preferring reading the whole thing. Also there are a lot of great LNs that dont have an anime unfortunately. Like Mushoku Tensei.

Was joking lol, try Snow White with the Red Hair

They meet at the start and from like the 3rd(?) episode you can definitely tell the love tension between the two is there, theres hardly any drama and its a pretty warming anime I'd think you'd like it.

Horimiya is only manga it seems, not really looking for manga atm. Is boarding school juliet a dating sim type anime or just a normal romance between 2 characters? I checked the PV and it looked like it had multiple relationships with the same guy, which im not a fan of. I like continuous story rather than multiple stems.

Nopes it is not a harem nor a dating sim type. There is only relationship between the two main characters in Boarding school juliet.
And yes Horimiya is manga only but you can still try out it's OVA:

Im going to assume the ones in your list without a score you havent watched:

- Spice and wolf: forget the economics, the banter between Holo and Lawrence is what makes this anime pure gold. A little more dramatic than Wotakoi since the setting is more serious and thus, so are the stakes but I wouldn't really call it a drama. This might sound contradicting but despite them not being an "official couple" they do go through the developments of one. The thing with this being set in medieval times is that they wouldn't really date but rather get married so you could technically say that they are dating throughout the series.
-Itazura na kiss: has plenty of tenage drama, but the stakes are never high. They start dating mid show and end up with a daughter and married.
-Amigami SS/SS+: 4 episode arcs (+2 for SS+) each arc is one girl. No need to watch them all just pick the girls with the personalities you find interesting and watch those, for me it was Haruka (standard school idol senpai), Tsukasa (tsundere) and Kaoru (best friend, this one was refreshing).

Thanks, but actually i dont score anime, i have only scored like 5 before i decided i didnt care enough to bother. Any anime under completed is what ive watched, most of the "Watching" are basically done too, and a few of the PTW ones i need to move to completed, but most i havent seen.

Appreciate it though, spice and wolf was definitely a good watch.
