For me the best romance isn't about 26 episodes of a love/hate relationship (see: Love Hina and isn't about 26 episodes of a hate/hate relationship (see: Suzuka). Drama is okay, but some shows are just overly dramatic. The best romance isn't what makes me feel like crap for the next three days thinking about it, but rather a mix between how much it kept me interested and how much impact it had on me afterwards. Of course, this means that my "best romance" won't be purely romance/drama but mixed with other genres or sometimes romance isn't even the domination genre.
1) Cardcaptor Sakura
2) Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
3) Kumo no Mukō, Yakusoku no Basho
4) Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora
5) Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu
Yeah, I'm weird like that.
(Even though I said that my 6th best would probably have to be Love Hina.)
