| I'm basically looking for an anime where the the graphics are great and up to date and hopefully with a good story line to it. The story can place wherever, but I prefer a story that takes place at the school and where the guy meets the girl or girl meets the guy. Some animes I enjoyed that had good visuals and were good were: Clannad Kanon Air |
 |
| ef - a tale of memories/melodies I think you'd love the series. Watch memories first since melodies is the "sequel" and you do need a bit of prior knowledge that is given in memories. It tells a very interesting romance story. |
| I already watched memories, I didn't really enjoy it that much so I probably won't watch melodies. |
|
| Ano Natsu de Matteru, normal unrequited romance mess with a (not so) shocking twist Toradora, one of the most popular, for a reason Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, if you got to have fun with time travel... and then not so much fun Kimi ni Todoke, though the development is (sometimes painfully) slow Hotarubi no Mori e, you must watch this 5 Centimeters Per Second, another must watch movie, if just for the animation |
| Not really interested in movies much, I already watched ano natsu and toradora though. I might look into kimi, bu the the visuals don't look promising. |
|
| Lovely Complex for sure, it's got everything you're looking for. Nodame Cantabile too, but you may dislike the "not so attractive" art style; it really grows on you after a while, though. And Nodame is just wonderful. NANA doesn't fit your description of "school," per se, but it is IMO one of the best romance anime you can find. It has beautiful art, too. |
| Yeah I watched like half of NANA and didn't really want to finish since I couldn't stand to watch it because of the graphics. |
|
| Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to watch kaichou soon, but Itazura I don't know about. |
|
| I second: Kimi ni Todoke (Complete 25 Episodes) Kaichou wa Maid-sama! (Complete 26 Episodes) I also recommend: Ginban Kaleidoscope (Complete 12 Episodes) Nanaka 6/17 (Complete 12 Episodes) Special A (Complete 24 Episodes) - Similar to Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Kiniro no Corda: Primo Passo (Complete 25 Episodes) Gakuen Alice (Complete 26 Episodes) Princess Tutu (Complete 38 Episodes) Hana yori Dango (Complete 51 Episodes) Sugar Sugar Rune (Complete 51 Episodes) Groove Adventure Rave (Complete 51 Episodes) |
 |
| Toradora, Ef Series, Seto no Hanayome and Lovely Complex are probably the big ones behind the Key franchise. |
 |
| Hanasaku Iroha |
 |
Sweetpea said: Hanasaku Iroha I don't really see where the romance is in this one, it's a story about girls. |
|
| *sigh* I think you just like Key. Nevertheless the best romantic anime - Paradise Kiss (if you bash the art you have no standards) and NANA. Not pure romance, but have some really good scenes: Mawaru Penguindrum, OHSHC, Kuragehime, Higashi no Eden Movies: Toki wo kakeru shoujo Hotaburi no mori e Howl's moving castle 5 centimeters per second. The stuff I think you're actually looking for, but I didn't particularly enjoy: Kaichou wa maid sama Angel Beats Ano Natsu Toradora (this one's better than the aforementioned 3) Kimi ni Todoke Special A (this is dreadful) |
| Thanks for the suggestions, adding them to my list soon. |

Fangclaw said: Technically. However, a *major* subplot that shows up in the first episode is that Ohana is torn about her best friends' romantic feelings towards her, and she spends a good chunk of the anime trying to work out whether she likes him back and then whether the relationship could really work.Sweetpea said: Hanasaku Iroha I don't really see where the romance is in this one, it's a story about girls. |

| I'm almost finished Kaichou wa Maid-sama, I'm really enjoying it. |

Nashinoki said: Maybe Eureka Seven, I haven't seen Eureka Seven AO though. Not sure if I want to see that, but I guess i'll try. |
|
| toradora i think |
narpris said: toradora i think Already watched, it was an amazing anime. |
|
Disappointment said: Don't even.ohh almost forgot school days |
| School Rumble has a lot of comedy with some really great romantic moments and characters you come to love. Spice and Wolf is one of my favorite animes ever and has a decent amount of romance in it and you already watched Kaze no stigma. I think someone already said Lovely Complex. School days still makes me cry and gives me nightmares. |

| Toradora :D |
| Lovely Complex!!!! |
| I think I get what you mean about the animation, I used to be the same way. Lately I've overlooked appearances for the sake of enjoying good story telling... otherwise I probably would've passed on Kimi ga nozomu eien (AKA rumbling hearts) and (the currently airing) Nazo no kanojo X. A couple that I liked that featured decent animation were Myself;Yourself and even more so, True Tears. |

| Lovely Complex and Itazura na Kiss |
| Fate/Stay Night |
| Signature removed. Please follow the site rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |

Meh-kun said: Bakemonogatari- Great production value, witty humor, gripping story, supernatural, fairly prominent romance between the two main characters that developed throughout the series. BTW, it is a Shaft anime, idk what your bias is toward/against them, but everybody seems to have a strong opinion regarding this studio (I personally think they are awesome). I'll watch it thanks for the suggestion. |

| Anymore suggestions, I'm almost finished bakemonogatari |

| Highly suggest Gosick Other Suggestions Full Moon wo Sagashite Fruits Basket Working! Kamichama Karin |
