Unique Romance/Shoujo with unique characters needed!

Well I know, I know there are lots of those topics already and I read them. Though it seems like I'm a little picky if it comes to romance.. That's why the other threads don't help me very much. And I've seen/tried a lot already, which might also be a problem ^^;

Okay so here comes my list with favs, likes and dislikes. I would be very thankful if you could help me out here ^^;

Favourites:
Card Captor Sakura
Fruits Basket
Koukou Debut (Manga.. wish there was an anime of this)
Victorian Romance Emma
Ouran High School Host Club
Skip Beat
Lovely Complex
Kodomo no Omocha (Manga)
Earl and Fairy
Howls moving Castle
Marmelade Boy (Manga/Anime was exaggerated)
Fullmoon wo Sagashite
Chrno Crusade
MeruPuri (Manga)

Likes:
Vampire Knight
Chobits (though I usually don't like this stuff; but Chobits is kind of an original, when I watched it this sort of romance was still "new")
Kimi Ga Nozumo Eien (though you have to be in the mood to watch this)
Alice Gakuen
Romeo x Juliet
Erementar Gerade

Okays:
Midori no Hibi
Onegai Teacher
Asatte no Houkou
Elfen Lied
Fushigi Yugi
Ayashi no Ceres
Peach Girl
Aishiteruze baby
bokura ga ita
Kare Kano
Itazura na Kiss


Dislikes:
Love Hina
Da Capo
Nana (Liked it a lot in the beginning, but turned into a soap opera with a lot of switching)
DearS (cheap copy of Chobits)
Hand Maid May
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Characters lack personality..)
100% Ichigo
Onegai Twins
Negima
Suzumiya Haruhi
School Rumble
Sailor Moon

Dropped because I lost interest (too slow development or characters/Storyline that were/became boring):
Perfect Girl Evolution (In the beginning I loved it.. but it became more and more boring..)
La Corda D'Oro (no development at all)
Nodame Cantabile (It's funny and nice but not as a romance)
Suzuka
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Kaleido Star
X
Hana Yori Dango (just tooooo long..)


Well I don't really know if this is it.. there might be some I've seen and forgot to list.
And I would prefer anime suggestions ^^

Hachimitsu to Clover ?
If you're okay with manga, I think the manga that was also created by the creator of Fruits basket (I think it's Hoshi wa utau. . ) is also a great series to read. And Crossroad from Shioko Mizuki is also a good manga with many unique character.

You might like Toradora! It's an anime adaptation of a light novel. It has some good romance and lots of hilarious stuff too.

I will second Honey and Clover here, sounds perfect for you.
Also, you should try REC, Kanon, Hanasakeru Seishōnen, Glass Mask, Seto no Hanayome and Ultra Maniac (a mix of Card Captor Sakura and Marmalade Boy).

REC sounds very interesting as well

How about Special A? It's some elements of Ouran (rich kids), but it's closer to Kare Kano.

REC is very well done with realistic characters and a bit more of a "realistic" relationship. The anime is very short though, haven't gotten around to reading the manga, but I've heard it is much longer.

Plus the two main characters are young working adults so it's not a typical school romance.

You need to get a dose of Princess Tutu ASAP! It's very unique, and there is hints of romance, plot and characterwise. As well, it has to do with fairytale (think Brothers grimm, not disney) elements and is a well crafted story. It also is about ballet, even if you know nothing about ballet or even like it, you'll enjoy it

Special A might be good aswell, so I second that. You might even like Ghost Hunt if your into spooky stories, etc.

I recommend Bakemonogatari. The show's description doesn't really make it clear, but it's one of the best romance shows in recent memory, with a clever and interesting couple whose banter back-and-forth is actually fun to listen to.

I really like Penguin Revolution (manga). I think the characters and story are both unique. It is a complete series and runs 7 books total.
I also think you would like like Magical x Miracle (manga). This is also a completed series and runs for 6 books.
