| looking for shoujo anime adventure that is romantic. i know some of those shows, although being reverse harem, focus only on friendship without a main romantic couple and that usually frustrates me. i'm looking for a show that will resemble Fushigi Yuugi in both story and romance. current options that come to mind: Harukanaru Toki no Naka de Hakuouki Neo Angelique Abyss Hiiro no Kakera which of them are romantic? preferably with a romantic ending. also i'd be happy for more shows recommendations. |

| i think Ceres Celestial Legend might fit the bill perfectly for you. same mangaka i think? i've seen it, but that was years ago but if you want a truly great reverse, watch hana yori dango (boys over flowers) |
| ceres is ok (same creator) and hana yori dango is not adventure/fantasy so i'm less into it for now. anyone saw any of those shows? Harukanaru Toki no Naka de Hakuouki Neo Angelique Abyss Hiiro no Kakera are they romantic? thanks |

gknight said: actually this one i heard is not romantic, only friendship......... is it? haha yeah, isn't romantic, but is very good actually ;) |
| Hakuouki is a favorite of mine cause I'm a big fan of the game. But since the anime is following Hijikata's route, there isn't much romance until the second season + lots of tragedy ahead. So it's best if you skip that one. Anyway, you might wanna try Saiunkoku Monogatari? |
| thanks everyone! i don't really connect with the character archetypes of Saiunkoku Monogatari and also the story seems like slice-of-life. Hanasakeru Seishounen is indeed in my to watch list, hope it's good! |

| If you try reading some manga, you'll be really satisfied. There's plenty of steamy "Fushigi Yuugi-like" romance there that's not brought on screen. |
| i know but i prefer manga much less.. :( so sad they don't get anime adaptations!! |
| forum avatar: Sukisho profile avatar: Ashita no Nadja |
| True. Most shoujo/romance rarely get any anime adaptations. Even if they do, they're only up to 13-25 eps -- or usually adapted from otome games. Anyway, I just finished reading Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden (FY prequel about Takiko, Genbu's priestess) and really loved it a lot. The heroine here is a stronger character who can actually fight for herself -- which makes her my favorite out of the four priestesses. So if ever you're in the mood for manga, try picking that up. The romance is really good + it's already complete. |
