DoctaLinker said: I don't think Nana would be suitable for you. You have almost the same opinion about animes that I do. Too bad that you already watched everything I could recommend. Isn't it time for you to move into mangas? The only problem with Nana that I have is the character design, they just look weird and that one goth female lead is creepy. I couldn't get past the first episode because I didn't like the animation and characters. But I heard the plot is pretty good. I'm really not into music anime but I've watched white album 2 and even though the music got kind of annoying at times it wasn't too bad. Um.....well i've tried reading manga before but I don't really seem to like it that much. I can tell it takes some getting used to but its not the same as watching an anime. Anime tend to win me over with animation, music/soundtrack, likable characters and of course plot. And manga doesn't have any animation or music, well i guess you could say the drawings are the animation for manga but it isn't the same. But i think I'll probably give manga a go sometime in the future, always hearing from people how the mangas are so much better than the anime. |
DoctaLinker said: Also: You didn't watch School Days yet, have you? Believe. Watch it. It's gonna change your life. Seriously. Oh my bad, I actually already watched it and forgot to put it on my list. I don't know why people hate it so much. I mean I seriously wanted to punch the mc in the face but that doesn't make the anime bad. He was meant to be hated by the viewers. I mean an anime that can actually shock or entertain me is good in my eyes. I often base my ratings on how much I enjoyed the anime. |
| You really like creating threads, huh? So, is your list up-to-date? 'cause I see Makoto Shinkai on your favorites but the only think you've watched from him is Kotonoha no Niwa. Which, to be honest, is far from being his best project. Please fix that. Namely: Hoshi no Koe Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place She and Her Cat 5 Centimeters per Second Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo |
| Eureka Seven, it's not bad for Romance. It does have Mecha and the MC takes getting used to though. He isn't bad, but he is 14 and acts like it, so you watch him go through adolescence and phases. And it is actually in the Romance genre rather than Romance being to the side. Takes a bit to get to it cuz 50 Episodes though. |

Namely: Hoshi no Koe Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place She and Her Cat 5 Centimeters per Second Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo Lol, here we go again. You really like answering my threads, huh? For the record i made this thread a 2 months ago. And yes, i do like making threads. Hoshi no koe: always planned to watch this, never got to it. Beyond the clouds: on my PTW She and her cat: really, I don't know about this one. 5cms: finished first episode of movie but then put on hold for later Hoshi wo: looks good, probably give it a try. And kotonoha no niwa was pretty good. The plot wasn't amazing or anything but the animation was awesome. |
| I'd strongly enforce you watch those then, since you enjoyed Kotonoha to the point of fav'ing the guy. Alpha101 said: 5cms: finished first episode of movie but then put on hold for later I know it's separated on 3 "episodes", but damn, don't do this. It kills the mood AND most likely the enjoyment. It's the kind of movie that you're supposed to sit through it all the way from start to end, so you can actually relate to the MC and his struggle against the slow/fast moving time paradox. |
| Personally, I think the most "serious/mature/dramatic" romances were these, even though many have comedy and melodrama: Nana HnC (both) Berserk Mind Game Planetes Hana Yori Dango Winter Sonata (no comedy, lots of drama, very seinenesque) Jin Roh (a must see imo) Sakamichi no Apollon 5cm T&B (has a romance element, but another must see) Spice and Wolf (both) Koi Kaze Tatami Galaxy WA2 (angsty, ok triangle comparatively) |

Not a masterpiece as Kimi no Iru Machi, but it's also good. |

Also: You didn't watch School Days yet, have you? Believe. Watch it. It's gonna change your life. Seriously. Stop ruining lives of people trying to look for romances. If you really like Makoto's work you seriously should just watch Byosoku and Hoshi no Koe. I just rewatched Hoshi no koe last weekend and it's just as amazing as the first time I saw it - not to mention it was only made by 1 guy (and his wife as the voice of the female character). Winter Sonata (no comedy, lots of drama, very seinenesque) I admit that this is entirely not fair but I just could not sit through the voices - they literaly hurt me ears. I guess you should try Sukitte ii na yo. |

| kami nomi is the correct answer - yet you dropped it :/ how did you not like it?? well everyone has different tastes . Katanagatari has a strong relationship build up, its actually most of the show, plus some badassery mixed in. if i were you, i would watch http://myanimelist.net/anime/23289/Gekkan_Shoujo_Nozaki-kun its labeled a "romance" but its been almost all comedy, and its cracked me up good. its on par with the funniest shows i've ever seen (imo) |

I tend to not like episodic anime. I just feel an anime that builds up your emotion and opinion over a single good plot is much more effective and interesting to watch. They really suck you into the anime and make you care about what is taking place and the characters. Also, it had too much comedy in it for, the mc wasn't very serious. My tastes are more towards serious/ dramatic anime that follow realistic approaches. Ya I've heard katanagatari has a great plot. The only reason I haven't watched it yet is the animation and character design. As I mentioned before I'm into anime that show realistic depictions of romance/drama. I'm sure katanagatari probably has that to some extent but I'm not really into the art style. But I'm sure I'll get over and try it out sometime in the future. |
Vitne-Eveille said: Its been a LONG time since I've seen/read it, but it might be up your alley: One-Pound Gospel Or maybe even: Ah! My Goddess Both have both a main male and female character, but Ah! My Goddess may be a bit more female-oriented. One-Pound Gospel is by Rumiko Takahashi. I pretty much like anything she puts out :D Oh, ok. I'm a little skeptical about. Its not labeled as harem but from what I've seen it kind has the characteristics of one. Also, I'm kind of looking for more serious/drama romance anime. |

Already seen sakamichi. From up in poppy hill looks ok, I'll give it a try. |
Ze_kiel said: We have same tastes , only I hate old animation , sci-fi , mecha animes , I kinda understand why you hate harem , maybe because the MC doesn't settle with 1 female ? I watched 2 Harem animes that has an MC finish with a female : Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers , Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi I request : My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU True Tears Elfen Lied Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. Golden Time Baby Steps Thanks but I've seen all of these except baby steps, which I proabably won't watch since I tend not to like sports anime. |

| Don't know if it has already been recommended, but Maison Ikkoku is as good as a romantic comedy can get. Animation might be a bit outdated, but it's definitely worth the watch! Others I can think about: -Kimagure Orange Road -Special A -Itazura Na Kiss -Ano Natsu de Matteru -Bakuman(Although romance is not the main theme of the series) -Golden Time -Love Hina -Maoyuu Maou Yuusha |

The animation isn't that great either. -Maoyuu Maou Yuusha: i am actually almost done watching this. It was made to appeal to people begging for a third spice and wolf season (which include me). Altuough this was pretty good, It is nowhere near as good as spice and wolf. Thats just my opinion. Just for future reference: I am asking for romance anime directed at "guys." So that kinda means I'd like male mcs. However I am also asking for good serious/dramatic anime with little comedy. Thanks guys. |
