| I have just watched Ouran Host Club and Fruits Basket and while I love the innocence and comedy of them I am severely let down by the ending. I want an anime with the same type of atmosphere and comedy but with a romance that actually develops into a proper relationship! Not all this implied crap. I dont care if they are shy and and thick in the beginning I just want to see them get together in the end and god forbid a kiss maybe to. Please for the love help me. NB: Would prefer a reverse harem if it is a harem genre. |
| Please Teacher!! |
| I'm back. |
| Hmm that one seems good. More like that please :D Also I should add to the list that I like the animation style in Vampire Knight. Nice and detailed ^_^ Too picky? |
| Lovely Complex, a great comedy, ending is kinda open ended but there is still a conclusion to the actual relationship. Maison Ikkoku, its 96 episodes but it has one of the most romantic endings ever. Itazura na Kiss, a good anime about the actual relationship between two people. Very good warm ending. |

| Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Not the happiest of endings, but excluding two manga series probably the most realistic out there. REC is very down to earth too. JusticeGundam said: Eureka Seven lolwut? |

JusticeGundam said: mightykid218 said: JusticeGundam said: Eureka Seven lolwut? Mecha series can have romance too... Hell most of the series focuses on Renton's crush on Eureka eh. 52 episodes of predominantly mecha wouldn't be my first choice to recommend to someone looking for a predominantly romance focused series, is all. And I've seen it, watched it on AS. |

| The anime does have mecha elements, but that is not the main focus of the series. Far from it. It's a story about a young boy who falls in love with a girl at first sight and how he grows up throughout the course of the series. He just so happens to join a crew of fugitives that have lil mecha things. And just because there are mechs, and fighting, doesn't diminish the fact that it's a romance story. There are around four fricken important romance stories the series focuses on,(and a few other ones that are not so important). Eureka and Renton Talho and Holland Dominique and Anemone Charles and Ray Just because it has mecha, doesn't mean the series is predominately mecha. Tho, I'm guessing you didn't understand the series enough to get this. Eureka seven IS a romance series. And a good one. |

| Thanks for the help. What about Ef?? I have heard that is supposedly good. Is it what I am looking for though? |
| I recently read Absolute Boyfriend in Borders the other day since they had the whole series right there and I've got to say it has one of the most commonly proper endings you could expect in a romance/shojo manga. It's entertaining too, quite. |

| Seconding Lovely Complex and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Also, for me, although Eureka Seven was pretty good, and though there is a reasonable amount of romance, it's still predominantly a mecha or shounen, i think. Oh, and i hated the ending for some reason. |
| I would say to absolutely start with Itazura na Kiss. It had a very beautiful conclusion. I'd say ef - a tale of memories, but it'd look like I'm really biased. It's definitely a lot more drama based, but has great artwork, so you should check it out. Others would include {Including in your Plan to Watch} Honey and Clover Toradora! Nodame Cantabile |

| Kare Kano(the end of the show isn't 'proper,' but the relationship goes leaps and bounds beyond the progress of most shows) ef(only one implied couple, the rest go all the way. Half of them go ALL the way) Toradora(lolmelodrama towards the end, but it fits your criteria) Kemonozume(fits your criteria VERY well, but liable to be too weird) Adding to support for Clannad, Nodame and Lovely Complex. The sequel to Clannad has the main couple get married and yet never kiss onscreen, though. At least Nodame's sequel lets them kiss. E7 and Planetes for great relationships in shows that have a different focus. |
| Seconding for REC. And also try out Koi Kaze, the ending is proper but this series is about incest. |
| Also going with REC, Eureka Seven (it's a romance story with humongous mecha shoved into the plot, not the other way around), and Please Teacher! Will also suggest Hatsukoi Limited and Karin. And RahXephon. Because you really can't recommend RahXephon enough. |

Yeah, being as deep as it was (not), it just must have blown over my head somehow. My point is that, regardless of any list of character romances you formulate, the dominant genres in this MECHA show was just that, not the romance. The existence of character romances is a given for almost any anime series, generally quite a few. And many of these series are not what one would consider "romance heavy" because the development of a romantic relationship is not center stage. senerikfred said: Kare Kano(the end of the show isn't 'proper,' but the relationship goes leaps and bounds beyond the progress of most shows) ef(only one implied couple, the rest go all the way.

Splitter said: Yeah, dude Eureka Seven is a romance series. Renton/Eureka is the driving force of the series and Dominic/Anemone is their mirror image couple. Holland/Talho is the main adult relationship and Charles/Ray is their mirror image couple. There's even the side couples like Moondoggie/Gidget and Matthieu/Hilda. Romance is pretty much the biggest theme of the series, and the ending makes this pretty obvious.mightykid218 said: Wow... have you even seen Eureka Seven?

| Lovely Complex |

| Itazura na Kiss..ended nicely, Suzuka ended nice too, but not really a comedy. |
 |
| Hana Yori Dango is a romance with an incredibly satisfying ending, but the animation style is very... unique. O_o |

Maison Ikkoku has one of the most satisfying and emotional endings in anime.

zephyr86 said: Seconding Clannad. Its the only anime that has made me feel angry, sad, and tearfully happy at the same time. I also recommend Eureka Seven, and while we could debate what genre it falls under, I prefer to think of the Mecha elements as the stage upon which the romance is played out on, you cant have one without the other. ^, Clannad is more than epic. |
   |
| Special A , the ending is really romantic. It has some silly comedy parts like Ouran but it isn't ALL silly, sometimes it has a more Fruits-Basket-type feel to it with storylines that don't revolve purely around comedy. |
