Although I love romance anime (#1 for me is Toradora), if it becomes a harem I start to quickly lose interest, I felt the same way with Clannad until I watched After Story(which was amazing), and although I understand why harems are popular, i really don't care for them.

Harem's are a big no-no for me. Also, random ex-lovers showing up randomly for the sake of a forced love triangle. For whatever reason, these exes tend to be really obnoxious.

When romance anime are shown realistically, it hurts me a lot. I know it's my own expectations from the anime and I'm not blaming the creator for making it that way. But I would much rather prefer a happy fantasy than a realistic drama.
But I did notice that because such anime can make me feel so irritated and uneasy, so in a certain way, I actually do enjoy such shows. But if it takes an extremely sad turn, like how Five centimetres per second did, then it's really a turn off. It's sad when you end things like that, when you even tried to make your characters work on the relationship lol, but all for nothing.

I just like to see the couple. Not two people. A couple.

The worst thing for me is a love triangle... I just can't stand these kind of things. And that one is connected to the second thing i dont like-> when the lovers can't express their feelings so they wait for 39482 episodes to say something.

That's why i love anime like Golden Time or even SAO because of one simply thing- the couple is REAL. Even if the romance in anime is stupid or shallow, when they express their feelings early, without waiting for the 4 season- I DON'T MIND lack of depth etc.

So i will say it again:
I just like to see the couple. Not two people. A couple.

And i'ts sad for me, that there are a lot of good series focusing only on fighting beetwen heroines over a boy. I know that it can be funny to watch, but i only crush my teeth watching this haha

When they throw a "spanner in the works", i.e. when a character is spontaneously introduced to cause an obstacle which ultimately adds nothing to the story causes a sidetrack for several episodes.

What ruins a romance anime for me is how new character/s show up out of nowhere and ruin the couple's relationship. I have seen some romance anime that included this type of thing and it annoys me.

My personal dislike regarding romance anime is a bad ending (ie most harems, although some like Oreshura & Shuffle do have the MC actually chose a girl), or a no conclusion ending (like Haganai: I don't have many friends or Nisekoi, I am aware the manga does have an ending, it's just anime only watchers that get left out).

Another aspect I don't like is NTR. In hentai it can be ok, sometimes, but having some pervy guy suddenly pop up and hit on the MC's girl can be really jarring. You can tell they are just trying to get an emotional reaction out of the audience by hurting the MC or the MC's love interest. I don't mind NTR when it's in context, but bringing it into an anime in place of actual story writing, just to get a reaction, is frustrating.

Another gripe I have is school based romance. I liked Toradora & Tzuresure Children, both great romance anime, but I wish we had more romance anime based in different places and locations, such as 'I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying' (just longer), Ah My Goddess!, Dears etc, rather than having them continuously set in school, like Oresuki this past Fall season, which was great.

Now I'm older, and not getting any younger, I don't relate to school based settings like I used to. I'd like to see sitcom like anime set around the daily lives of couples. Anime has some great writers, just look at Maidens In Your Savage Season & Oresuki, I'm sure they could do something similar but show more of the later stages of romance.

The final issue with romance anime is the slow progression of intimacy, where it takes the whole season just for a couple to admit their feelings, then S2 just to hold hands, that sort of thing.

Weird, The characters in those first 3 series you listed is much, much more compelling than anything that you have in your favorites

When it doesn't have an ending. Seriously, I hate it when a series builds up a couple or teases at romance, only for the show to cuck me in the end.

I'm a big fan of the romance genre for anime and there are many different opinions of what can ruin a romance anime for you. For me personally, I would have to say NTR and when a relationship or crush forms over something stupid. For example in just because!, Mio is in love with Haruto over an act of "kindness" where he gives her an eraser during an exam since she dropped hers. I can deal with no conclusion as long as there's another season or it actually closes on a good note. Dense characters are fine as long as they got some personality behind them where they're funny or actually interesting to watch, but there's a limit to how dense a character can be before it turns into annoyance/frustration.
what ruins romance anime for me in general is when the Heroine or MC acts overly child like I hate that in characters who are supposed to be in their teens or adulthood. in anime because it is so stupid and unrealistic behaviour from a grown human.

When the show goes out of its way to bait the idea of the characters getting together without them ever actually getting together. Especially if it becomes a running gag for them to almost confess to each other, only for some BS misunderstanding to conveniently occur every time.
