| I'm pretty big into romance anime, as I believe that comedy and over dramatizations aside, anime often portrays the gradual progress of falling in love much more realistically than any other form of entertainment. That being said, there's a lot of total CRAP out there in this genre, probably moreso than in any other sect of the medium. What are your own personal favorites where romantic anime are concerned? 1. Spice & Wolf 2. Toradora! - I disliked the ending, but it's still pretty good. 3. Shakugan no Shana - I've not yet watched the second season, but the first was good. 4. Eureka Seven - Kinda cheating since I've yet to finish it, but I like what I've seen. 5. Love Hina - This would be number one if it followed the manga. This was my introduction to romantic anime, and about the only harem I can stomach. |
| 1. Maison Ikkoku 2. Onegai Sensei Those are like the only two I've actually seen. Maison Ikkoku is my top 5 though. |

| 5 Centimeters Per Second Revolutionary Girl Utena Hatsukoi Limited Ef a tale of melodies Ef a tale of memories |
| 1.Paradise Kiss (Amazing Art and really captured the anxiety of being in love) 2.Nana (Fantastically realistic and also tragic) 3.Clannad (made me cry like a bitch) 4.ToraDora (Really good at capturing teen angst) 5.Spice and Wolf ( Really good conversations between characters, too bad season 2 was pretty terrible) My least favorite: 1. Honey and Clover ( Overrated, unrealistic and flat out stupid with pathetic characters.) 2. Maison Ikkou ( Overated 90+ episode bore fest) 3. Basilisk ( Romeo and Juliet with ninjas, how original) 4. EF (crappy characters were crappy) 5. Tokyo Marble Chocolate ( very forgettable) |

| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Honey and Clover Nodame Cantabile 5 centimeters per second Ef-a tale of memories And for the last place let's say kimi ni todoke or Tokikake or maybe one of Miyazaki's movies(Spirited away or Whisper of the heart) |
| "This Forest isn't going to reveal all its secrets for the likes of you." |
| 5 Centimeters per Second ef - a tale of memories Clannad Air True Tears These maybe, I'm not sure. |
 |
| ef - a tale of memories Kanon Aishiteruze Baby Nodame Cantabile Midori no Hibi |
| Not in order; soo many I can't choose 5 from the top of my list. I'll list my top (their all tied). * Clannad * Hanbun na Tsuki ga Noboru Sora * Spice and Wolf * 5 centimeters per second * Tsubasa Chronicles * Yoake Mae Yoro Ruri Iro Na * Myself; Yourself * Allison & Lillia * both ef's I have a couple more, but the romance in them were all subplots. |
Score Criteria: |
| Spice and Wolf Ah! My Goddess Love Hina Eureka 7 Tsubasa Chronicles |
| To many to list but if I had to pick my top 5 they would look like the following(No order) -Nana(One of the best and most realistic experiences I have come across in anime) -Lovely Complex(My favorite and one of the best executed Rom Com's out there) -Honey and Clover(Talking in a general sense) -Peach Girl(Not the greatest but I just fell in love with it) -Rec(Short and sweet and good) This is talking about anime, I find manga to contain much better romantic material and most of my favorites are contained there(Such as mars for example) |
| - Clannad Afterstory (I can't even begin to explain... the love between family, parent and child, man and woman, it's all so touching in Clannad AS) - ef: Tale of Melodies (there was so much more angst and tragedy in this one, compared to the first season) - Honey and Clover (I can totally relate to the characters... falling in love with best friends, love triangles, uncertainty in the future...) - Myself;Yourself (Ending was a bit abrupt, but this show's full of drama and angsty relationships) - 5 Centimeters Per Second (A touching story of a long-distance, puppy-love relationship. I was amazed that so much could be shown to us in one hour.) |

| Special A Toradora! Shuffle! Bakemonogatari Kimikiss pure rouge |
| Maison Ikkoku, I need not watch any other 'romance' anime. Very disappointed in the lack of MI in this thread, except for the one guy that called it a bore fest. But fuck him. |
 |
| Top 1 to 5... NANA Nodame Cantabile Voices of a distant star and the rest of shinkai makoto's works Clannad Macross( still cannot forget the love triangle) |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |

Overrated Bore fest to be exact, but your post just further proves it's highly over rated like all of Ramiko Takahashi's work. |

Not like I disagree that Takahashi tends to be given more credit than deserved at times. |

| 1. Bokura Ga Ita (greatest EVER!) 2. Suzuka (Story a bout a Girl next door and a moron) 3. School Days (clearly shows the difference of getting loved and getting laid) 4. Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (tearjerk anime) 5. Clannad, though I really don't considered it to be romantic, its more of a slice of life anime. |

Maison Ikkoku has way to many filler episodes in it, was hard for me to sit through it. I love it, but if it were shorter it would've been much better. |

In fact, I just love females that have something wrong with them; part of the reason why I love Honey and Clover. Itazura is there because it went way beyond what I expected. |
