If your favorite is different, write in a comment.

This list includes the most popular romance animes that a significant portion of people find good.
I don’t know all the romance anime, so I asked everyone to describe their favorite.
If anyone is bothered that their favorite anime isn’t on the list then I’m sorry.

If a lot of people write the same anime, I put it on the list.

P.S.: Sorry if my english is bad

I like stuff that break the typical romance conventions such as a tall girl & short boy instead of the other way around so Lovely Complex

Love stage(This one's BL. No gay ecchi stuffs, just pure romance between 2 dudes)

Your Name is not just my favourite romance anime but also my favourite anime of all time. I still haven't had an experience like that since then. That anime is single-handedly responsible for me watching dozens of romance anime and over 50 anime movies.

In series, Spice & Wolf is my favourite followed closely by Wotakoi, Nozaki-kun, Kaguya sama, Net-juu no sususme.

I voted for Love Is War it’s my favorite I like how the story is going and I love all the characters and it’s too funny hopefully we’ll get a S3 soon. I also love Horimiya hopefully we get something like Horimiya soon :)

I love Fruits Basket, but as a drama not a romance.

My favorite romances are Nana, Bloom Into You, Aoi Hana, Paradise Kiss, Given, Scum's Wish, His and Her Circumstances and I also liked some others.

Bakemonogatari does not revolve around romance but has the best romance scene of all time. Araragi and Senjougahara have some sweet interactions.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo, ReLIFE, and Tsuki ga Kirei and my top romance anime.

Would definitely go for Kaguya-sama on the poll since it's the best romance I've seen by far.

Why is Kaguya-sama winning? As far as I can remember, Kaguya has boring romance after they take out the 'mind game' of the show.

Just using your poll I'd go with Horimiya. I honestly find it to be the most refreshing take on romance in years. I've even said going back over a decade to be honest. It was a badly needed show, so glad we got it. Here's a bit more detailed list.

Movie - Millennium Actress
Recent - Horimiya
Romance / Drama - His and Her Circumstances
Romance / Action - Rurouni Kenshin
Romance / Comedy - Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou
Romance / Fantasy (isekai) - Escaflowne
Romance / Sci-Fi - Blue Gender
Mainstream hit that won't let you down - Your Name
If you honestly want to just feel depressed - Rumbling Hearts
(kinda...) Underrated Gem - Boarding School Juliet
Weird, but cute romance - Midori no Hibi
Even though not a real romance, it gives off the feelings - Violet Evergarden
Overall - Millennium Actress

It's pretty unpopular opinion but I will say Oreimo after reading the light novel where the character psychology and traits are vastly explore , character interaction I also found great though I also found ending is rushed and forced but the way the previous volume offers it's became my favourite romance anime and light novel

Fruits Basket anime but mainly because of the drama, the romance is nice but the drama carries the show in my opinion. Rurouni Kenshin is also up there but there's a lack of romance so I'll go with Fruits Basket.

For manga it'd have to be Akatsuki no Yona and Kamisama Hajimemashita :)

I hate romance genre because I'm a single but if I have to choose one, then I would choose Rurouni Kenshin(which is too old).

I think Given, Nana and Your Lie in April are the best shows out of these, but I don't love any of them for the romance. I think they mainly shine with their other aspects (how they handle grief, inevitability and growing up).

So I voted Lovely Complex, because it's fun, adorable, and the romance is really sweet and breaks with some overdone clichés 🤭
