I'm trying to convert my sister to weeabooism but I don't know what I should recommend. I asked her what she looks for in a TV show and she said romance and drama, so yeah. English dub is required and preferably 1-cour.

does she watch kdramas and stuff? i'd recommend honey and clover, and nodame cantabile

but if she likes romcoms in general:
ano hana
kaichou wa maid-sama
wolf girl and black prince
my little monster
kamisama hajimemashita
say i love you
kimi ni todoke

the ones without dubs on my list: wolf girl and black prince, my little monster, kimi ni todoke. everything else is dubbed.

Romance in Ano Hana is a minor sub-genre....... It's more like a slice of life.

Definitely Nana. It should be required viewing for every teenage girl. It's available for free streaming on Hulu.

inuyasha is okay, but not something you'd give to someone who's already used to romance and drama shows. solvite's recs aren't even serious. b gata h kei is inappropriate and so is DxD

Seconding on Honey and Clover, good drama and great male cast.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not anymore.
@OP: Mawaru is a show you'd give to someone after they've been brutally mindfucked by Madoka and NGE. And then, Mawaru would still be too disturbing even after watching those other shows.

I'd called it 'enlightenment'. OP definitely don't want her sister becomes casual, therefore it is a necessary step into true 'weaboo-ism'.

5 centimeters per second (dub)
Romance/drama movie, little comedy and gave me the feels. It's a safe bet that a teenage girl would like this

Boku no Pico
Tell her about this one, she will refuse. When you're not around, she will watch it.
if you run you get faster to your location

Chihayafuru would have been on my list if it had an English dub. It doesn't look like many of the people posting here are paying attention to that criterion.

A teenage girl looking for romance and drama, dubbed, 1-cour... first thing I'd recommend would probably Sukitte ii na yo (Say I Love You).

Toradora! is also a great one, but the romance comes in later in the show and it's longer so I would probably give that one to her second. It's charming and funny, dramatic and eventually romantic.
