Romance anime with happy ending and no triangle

So I'm out of animes to watch again and a quick scan of the forums came up with little to nothing.

As the Title says, I want a happy ending, doesn't need to be the super happy rainbow ending, but I want the couple to succed and be happy. No harem or triangle also ( I am ok with it if the MC that is the target of the harem/triangle just has his goal set, like in clannad, kotoura-san, Sakurasou no pet na kanojo and more, but not one where I will have to guess whom he/she is gonna end up with).

Also i would prefer if it doesn't just end with the classic "kiss, we are a couple now" but I know it's hard to find ones like that so it's not required, just a plus (tho i'm getting mighty tired of romance anime's where the romance doesn't even gets an end, even if I understand that it's mostly because the manga isn't finished yet). Other than that it can be whatever, romance/comedy, romance/action etc etc and amount of episodes/seasons is not an issue ( tho I guess over 200 might be a bit much hehe)

On a side note tho, the only anime I found that might fit is white album and white album 2. I read somewhere that 1 wasn't that good but that 2 was alot better, 1 also looks more like harem/triangle tho 2 could possibly be a triangle also from what I found. If someone could tell me if any/both of them would fit me or not I would appreciate it.

Also posting my watched list here, I think I am missing some on my profile's list.

I got halfway through it but the psycho part's in it is a bit too much for me, I might revisit it later tho, I have gotten it recommended to me before.

Tonari is the same thing (didn't like the guy). Ano natsu i watched 1 or 2 episodes but it didn't catch me. Arakawa looks kinda interesting. Kimi ni todoke I have already watched, it was a good one, the second season was a bit stale at some points but a good one still.

Kobato and skip beat are both anime's I have been thinking of seeing but for some reason I have been holding off. I think it was that I read somewhere that their endings weren't that conclusive, but I might very well be wrong. They certainly look interesting.

Started watching White album 2 yesterday since it was the only thing I had found, I can say after watching half of it and understanding generally how it was going to end (and reading up on it just in case) that it is not for me. Tho if anyone are looking for a romance anime with drama then I would recommend it. What I saw of it wasn't bad and I liked the characters and the setting.

Unless my memory fails me that anime is pretty heavy on the love triangle part which I am not really interested in most of the time, I don't know though if it got a happy ending or not.

Glass mask's art is a bit too old for me. Hakouoki and hiiro both look kinda interesting, for hotarubi I am not that fond of movies. Hamisama ( I guess you mean kamisama http://myanimelist.net/anime/14713/Kamisama_Hajimemashita) is one I have been thinking of watchin but i heard that the anime isn't that good/covers alot as you pointed out.

Nanatsuiro looks a bit silly but I have seen several anime that have looked silly but turned out to be good so I'll give it a shot.

Just gonna mention Nodame Cantabile - for me it's kind of slow in the romance department, but it does progress nicely into the two last seasons. It's just that they don't make a big deal out of the "official relationship" thing, it comes naturally - definitely not "kiss -> couple -> the end".

The focus is mostly on classical music, though, so considering the episode count it's best if you can enjoy that aspect :)

Yeah, I have been recommended it a couple of times before, it's the artstyle which put's me off, but maybe one day.

Already seen it. It was nice and very unique, what it lost in character depth it made up with good character concepts and that it skipped all filler material. I really liked it.

Im not sure this counts as a romance anime but gurren lagann has some romance in it and its a happy ending (for the characters atleast)

I have been thinking of watching it but based on what I have been reading and what research I did, none of the relationships for the main characters end happily. I might be wrong tho I guess.

No offense, but why did u say White Album 1 fit your criteria?
The MC is a heartless nymphomanic douche, he sleeps with evryone, that's what makes WA1 sucks hard...

as for my recs,
how about Emma the victorian romance
it has 2 seasons, u might find the 1 season as sad ending, but if u proceed to the 2nd right away, u'll get your happy ending.

Well I said that it might fit my criteria ( I haven't watched it) and i was asking if someone who have seen it could tell me if it fit my preferences, and judging from what you said it doesn't.

Emma looks interesting, I am not super fond of the artstyle, but victorian era is pretty interesting

already watched sao and really liked it (loved the first half, second half was good but not as good). Full moon looks like it could be interesting, tho the premise is that she will die in a year ( I'll just have to trust you that it got a happy ending ^^).

Btw, when i said dont watch White Album, i only said avoid the first of the series, White Album 2 is good and totally different story from the first one....

another anime that worth mentioned maybe
KimiKiss Pure Rouge (it follows 2 couples, it's like making 2 romance anime into 1, The first couple can be considered triangle love though, but the other isnt)

technacly no for the main prtagonist it may not be a happy ending to you but to the character they were at peace with it and it wasnt like he beats himself up over it every morning

Yeah, well I might watch it at some point since i from time to time like watching mecha stuff, but not atm.

I have watched half of white album 2 and it isn't something for me (it's a very heavy triangle and if my research that I did is correct t hen the ending is bittersweet at best). Which is kinda sad because it was pretty interesting and I liked parts of it.

I have been thinking of kimikiss before but it seemed like a very heavy triangle to me, how do you mena when you sa it could be "considered" a trinagle? I am ok with triangle like in kotoura-san where the main guy/girl has his goals (or whatever you wanna call it) set for one specific person, same for harems like clannad. So is it like that or more is it more like something like white album 2 which is heavily based on the triangle aspect.

So going by the recommendations i finished watching skip beat! yesterday. I liked but the ending was kind of a let down, not cause it's sad or unhappy, but because it basically just ends in the middle of everything.

I have decided to watch kobato next since it was recommended so many times ( 3 I think). I have watched I think 5 episodes as of yet. It has the potential to be really interesting and good but could start to drag out and get uninteresting. I am hoping for the first alternative ^^

I totally agree with this. I stopped watching after episode 8 for about 3 months and I totally regretted it when I came back to watch it.

Life is basically like a soap bubble.
It rides on the wind, flying here and there,
…And before you realize it, pop! It’s gone.
When it’s about to disappear, you think
that you could’ve flown a bit higher.
But by the time, it’s already too late.

KimiKiss followed 2 male MC love story, the first male story is about trying to conquer a girl heart that never fall in love before, so it totally has nothing to do with triangle love.
The other male MC though, i could say about triangle love, but if i say any further, it will spoil the story quite a lot, so click it if you really dont mind reading the spoiler

Hope you understand what i'm saying, cause i'm a bit lacking when it comes to writing in english, but quite good at reading it

Let's see... Beyond the Boundary doesn't have a love triangle. Kaichou Wa Maid Sama doesn't... Those are the only two I can think of that I've watched.
