What's your guys favorite romance anime? I love the romance genre in anime since you can feel tons of different emotions that can't be always seen in all genres of anime. My favorite romance anime is by far toradora and maybe Golden Time.

if its a movie, i love kimi no na wa.
Anime TV show, tsuki ga kirei because it felt so real, the awkwardness, the pauses, the becoming more open and brave slowly but surely. I too have experienced something like that so I can relate to that anime more than other romance animes.

Since OreGairu is considered as a romance anime on MAL, I would say it's OreGairu

For me it's Nana, i liked it's realistic approach and having characters that are flawed but you can't help but root for them.

Disclaimer: Nana is one of my favourite anime series of all time, and I know it's dubbed as a romance. However I never considered it a romance because Nana is so much more than that.

My favourite romance anime so far is Lovely Complex, my favourite anime movie from the same genre is Doukyuuse. For the romance manga, first place goes to Honto Yajuu.

I guess Ah! My Goddess. I don't watch many romance anime, but I definitely enjoyed that show. I like it because of the light-hearted humor and the day-to-day adventures that the characters go through. I'm currently reading the manga right now. It's pretty long for a romance-comedy, but I like it so far.

Fruits Basket, Kaguya-sama, or Ouran High School Host Club, if they count. Don't really care as much for romance in anime most of the time though, I like them more for the comedy. Fruits Basket is the only exception out of the three above, since I like the main couple even though it's not the main main focus.

kaguya sama, i won't consider it a romance anime until kauya and shirogane get together. But god damn i love that show.

A few of my favorites would have to be: maid sama, your name, spice and wolf, tamako market or more like the movie, and toradora. After listing some of my favorites, I realized that there are more than a few but I think that they deserve some kind of praise.

Cross game is one of my favorite anime of all time and even considered a romance on MAL, but I don't really think it is a romance. I would say my favorite romance is Kuzu no Honkai because of it's controversial character tropes and messed up situation. I definitely didn't like it because I have some sort of guilty pleasure, but I honestly like it's bold statement and risk-taking ideas. My runners-up place would be yagate kimi ni naru or Hotarubi no mori e, and I plan on watching Nana which I've heard a lot of good things about.

Might be kind of biased, but I really like Ao Haru Ride. The character development, the feelings, it had it all for me. I guess since MAL has it as romance, The Devil is a Part-Timer. It's funny and a girl having a one-sided crush on a demon lord? Yes.

Haikara-san:only know the movies and not the anime show from the 70s but I love the two movies.

Sennen Joyuu: The love for a man she barely knew and she always hoped to find again propels this gorgeous movie by Satoshi Kon forwards.

The Red Turtle: For some reason this beautiful Ghibli movie (okay it was a coproduction) is not part of the MAL archive. A beautiful and fantastic love story.

YURI!!! ON ICE! : For me the show is deeply romantic.

Wotakoi easily for me(anime in my avatar and signature). my favorite aspect of a romance anime for me is about their lives after hooking up instead of the teen-esque version of the build up towards the romance. also i absolutely love the characters from Wotakoi specially koyanagi(my avatar)

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu if it counts, Bakemonogatari if it doesn't.
Also Kare Kano, Kokoro Connect, NHK ni Youkoso and several others I could list.
A lot of my favorite couples are from non-romance shows like Revy x Rock from Black Lagoon or Hawkeye x Mustang from FMAB but I like a lot of Romance anime too as long as they're compelling and entertaining.

ao haru ride, wotakoi

not my most favourite but i think golden time and sukitte ii na yo deserve special mentions for their realistic and flawed portrayal of relationships. especially golden time, the MCs don't start off natural and with much chemistry but them as a couple get so much realistic development

If we're talking straightly romance, then it's definitely Tsuki ga Kirei; it just felt really raw when depicting the type of relationships middle schoolers go through.

If we're also allowed to add comedy, however, then it's Ore Monogatari. I loved the shy persona that the protagonist and female protagonist displayed all throughout the anime.

Oof a lot I have seen so far. Noragami, Inuyasha, Spice and Wolf, Given, Bloom Into You, KareKano, Scum's Wish, Nana, Paradise Kiss... a few others too and a lot of others with a romance subplot. I line sweeter romances as well, but also more realistic ones.

Tsuki Ga Kirei and Kaguya-Sama are pretty goated.

If I go the Shounen Ai route though, both Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica just really fill my needs for gay romance.

Yeah, I agree. I have seen quite a few romance anime and it just stands out among the crowd because it is so different from the average junk expelled from the machine every season. It felt real to me like one of those stories that just feels like it was made for you and I can't give it enough credit for that. Also yuri great yeah!

Favourite romance anime series? Clannad After Story easily.
I'm quite surprised that I haven't seen anyone say the name of these 2 animes.
