Fantasy/Romance/Action Anime Reccomendations?

The first two animes I ever watched were Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online. Now I know both have their problems (the impossibly long wait for season 2 in AOT's case and the descending shittiness of SAO) but when I first watched them I was absolutely captivated by the magic of their stories. I didn't have the prior knowledge of anime to make me judge either very harshly, and that's part of the reason I loved them. But now after having seen well over a hundred anime, it's a lot harder to find good ones anymore.
So my question is: what fantasy/romance/action anime would you recommend? Basically it needs to have:
- A fantasy world of some sort (leaning more towards traditional fantasy, like the alternative history setting of AOT, Lord of the Rings-esque SAO, or dark medieval fantasy of Berserk)
- A good romance, but one that doesn't take up the whole story, more of a subplot (like Kirito and Asuna's romance in the first 14 episodes of SAO, but just a little less sappy)
- GOOD action (sword fights particularly)
- GOOD plot and an interesting story (Berserk, SAO, and AOT all had mystery and suspense, as well as intriguing characters to keep the plot chugging along)
- Comedy, but not too much (basically, not an anime where the characters are constantly transformed into chibis and the anime can't take itself seriously at all, i.e. Fairy Tail)
- I'm not sure why, but I enjoy watching anime that hit you right in the feels, so sadness and extreme emotion should also be present (but not something like Berserk the whole time where it's constant sadness and anger)
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

maybe
zetsuen no tempest (doenst have a traditional fantasy world. it is in mordern times with magic) has romance and very likeable mcs
opening

to be honest I would also recommend fate series (again modern times. but it is a deathgame with 7 mages and their servants + the animation is out of this world-- 1st season doesnt have really romance, but it has some couples actually It is hard to describe
amv. because nothing is compareable with ufotable animations.. I mean seriously....
2nd season amv... they even improved the awesome animation has romance and is more childish than season 1

maybes (but i wouldnt say they have romance)
magi series
noragami
7 deadly sins
katanagatari (has romance but less fantasy actually)

My favorite quotes from animes:

Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people
who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.
I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass
We are humans. - Shinsekai yori
100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man
