Different types of romance (anime)

[velvet nightmare]

hi just wondering if i can get a few additional romance suggestions here are some of the ones i've seen

-fantasy romance -i've pretty much seen all of the Rie Kugimiya ones rofl so if anyone has any ideas of anime of this type that DOESNT involve a tsundere im all ears

-romantic comedy -the only one im aware of is school rumble which i may watch at some point so if there's other good ones out there let me know

-drama/romance -can't say that i've seen any of this type, 5cm/second kind of?

-school life/romance -the only one i can think of that i've seen is toradora, and school rumble kind of falls into here but again, if there's any other good ones, let me know


this is the link to my anime-planet, you can apply a filter so you can see which romance i've already watched:

Then, you shouldn't be watching any love comedies in which Kugi has a role in it, especially if its the main character. As for suggestions:

Ah! My Goddess
Asura Cryin
Fate/Stay Night
Tears to Tiara

-romantic comedy -the only one im aware of is school rumble which i may watch at some point so if there's other good ones out there let me know

-drama/romance -can't say that i've seen any of this type, 5cm/second kind of?

-school life/romance -the only one i can think of that i've seen is toradora, and school rumble kind of falls into here but again, if there's any other good ones, let me know

Air Gear
Clannad After Story
Da Capo II
Gift ~eternal rainbow~
Kanon
Sora no Manimani

Maison Ikkoku and Honey and Clover are romance/comedy/dramas. Honey and Clover is one of the best stories in the genre I've watched, it takes place in an art college. Maison Ikkoku is old and long, but if you don't mind that, it is a true classic. It's about a student (going into college) who falls in love with his new landlord.

-school life/romance -the only one i can think of that i've seen is toradora, and school rumble kind of falls into here but again, if there's any other good ones, let me know

Kare Kano is a school romance, one of the best.

Kimagure Orange Road and Touch are two classics that take place in high school. However, I would say Touch is the better one. I don't to spoil the plot so I won't go any further.

Finally, True Tears is a more recent school romance, somewhat run-of-the-mill, but enjoyable.

Oh, and Whisper of the Heart is a Ghibli film that nearly blows every other young romance anime out of the park.

Ah My Goddess! Is the first thing to come to mind. Most fantasy romance tends to like Tsundere as a lead female- if only so she is more assertive in the plot. Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha also come to mind in such a situation, although those Tsundere aren't played by Rie Kugimiya, and are type B tsundere.

Maison Ikkoku is amazing. Ah My Goddess also fits here. So does Ranma 1/2. Oh and I guess to some extent Cross Game. Oh Ai Yori Aoshi.

-drama/romance -can't say that i've seen any of this type, 5cm/second kind of?

Cross Game

-school life/romance -the only one i can think of that i've seen is toradora, and school rumble kind of falls into here but again, if there's any other good ones, let me know

Cross Game, Kimagure Orange Road and Ai Yori Aoshi

Several of the others I've mentioned takes place with school life scenes/episodes but don't focus as much on school life.

[Smithsky]

Seconding Cross Game.

For romance, comedy, school life try Lovely Complex.

For romance, school life and some drama try True Tears. (just noticed it got mentioned already so seconding it ;p)

Also REC (romance, comedy)

[velvet nightmare]

thanks for the suggestions, narrowing them down really helped

i will take a look at a few of those

[Cipher]

Hm..quite a broad selection there. I'd recommend School Days for its strange yet peculiar growth within the characters (especially the main one), but you'll regret watching it if you don't like tragic endings,crazy twists, and a generally sex-addicted male pro.

[Yotsuba]

Lovely Complex is hilarious and touching. It's probably one of my favourite anime. I REALLY reccomend it.

Allow me to add a 5th sub-category in the romance genre, specifically the action/romance shows.

There's Ayashi no Ceres if you're looking for a modern day fantasy/action/romance series. The bloodshed can be a bit brutal at times but it doesn't get carried away nor will you see rivers of blood like you would in Elfin Lied.

good addition, i'll be sure to look up Ayashi no Ceres


btw i finished true tears, though at some points watching it i ended up scratching my head trying to figure out the reasons behind things, but all in all it was pretty good

[becky0311]

for romance/drama theres Kimikiss Pure Rouge
