One more thread today.

I'm not looking only for pure romance, it's even better if it has action or something, but there has to be some love-hate romance in it with a strong heroine and a not-meek guy.
You know how it is: "I love to hate you", or rivals, or fighting, or everything at once.

Otaku_In_Training · 2010-04-22, 19:22

i would suggest Cross Game.

MeoTwister5 · 2010-04-22, 19:24

Yes. You must have Cross Game.

Sackett · 2010-04-22, 23:01

Cross Game (have to watch at least to the 2nd episode to see what we mean)

and some of the older shows:

Ranma 1/2 fits quite well.

Full Metal Panic

Yankee-kun to Megane-chan (manga) might fit.

Of course... Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Zero no Tsukaima's got this going somewhat with the strong male lead (Saito) and the tsundere lead girl (Louise) having the love-hate romance (not certain whether it's a side-plot or the main plot - it drifts between both at parts of the story - but it's certainly there).

Special A can be a good one to watch as well, as long as you don't mind it being mostly a shoujo series.

Haak · 2010-04-23, 04:28

Cross Game, I would definitely recommend.

BetoJR · 2010-04-26, 10:02

Has anyone mentioned Cross Game, yet?

Guardian Enzo · 2010-04-26, 11:18

I think Cross Game would work.

In addition there's the endless array of Kugimiya Rie tsundere romances, of which Toradora is by far the best (mostly for the supporting characters, though).

These couples are boyfriend/girlfriend and dating and in romantic relationships, but start out arguing, but are lovers for most of the series.

I wonder whether Special A counts?

Kaichou wa Maid-sama fits your describtion quite good.
