Greetings and Salutations !

I'm looking for some specific type anime, as i do have a few points i require.

so here are the specifics:

I) story ; I do need a proper story to follow and be intrested in the anime .

II) character interaction ; basically , that it's fun to watch the characters interact with each other (be it the only 2 main chars even)

III) actual romance evident in the series ; basically , what most animes do is have 2 main heroes dance and prance around for an entire anime , then discover their love in the final episode and boom it's over.

to be honest the only 3 animes that pop into mind are KGNE , Koi Kaze and Rec (maybe ah my goddess does that as well , but i watched it several years ago so i dont remember all the details). where there is a romantic interaction with the characters during the anime and not just the final episode when they all find out they like eachother and live happily ever after. edit : chobits also comes to mind , a lovely anime

the only thing i truely hate is mecha. besides that , a bonus for nice animation. a bonus for intresting characters. giant bonus if there's any type of fighting involved (sword/gun play ). and im not a big fan of harem anime to be honest.

also not some passive/stupid/annoying male lead

if the anime is good enough i can live with any pacing , but i do prefer a proper pacing where something actually happens every episode :P

damn , im picky :P but oh well , that's life. any help would be much appriciated

These series actually show the characters dating, as boyfriend/girlfriend and in relationships as a couple. Some are anime, some are manga.

Bokura ga Ita Nanami and Yano are dating and in a genuine, sincere relationship. Yano is popular and a ladies' man and starts dating Nanami. Yano seems carefree, but had a past, his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him was killed, and he had sex with someone close to his current girlfriend, Nanami. Nanami is fascinated by her boyfriend, Yano's past, but is also scared by his behavior changes. Great dialogue, realistic romance.

Mars Kira and Rei are boyfriend and girlfriend throughout this 15 volume manga. Rei rides motorcycles and parties hard and is deeply devoted to Kira. He has a dark past. Kira is shy and introverted because she was raped as a teen. Rei is her boyfriend, and the one guy she trusts, but it is hard for her to have sex with him because of her past. They date, have sex, move in together, get engaged and heal each other, going through emotional, pivotal trials as a couple.

Kare First Love Karin and Kiriya are dating and in a committed relationship. Kiriya is a popular party boy with a dark past, who is devoted to Karin. Karin is shy and awkward and nervous about having sex with Kiriya and insecure. Together, they navigate a deep, committed relationship.

Tamahome is a character from a book and Miaka goes into the book and dates him. He eventually comes out of the boo and lives in her world as her boyfriend and fiance, Taka. The Fushigi Yugi manga is much longer and better than the anime.

Ayashi no Ceres Aya and Tooya are in a passionate sexual relationship. In the manga they makeout and have sex in hotel rooms and are very sexually active and have a child. The conflict is that Tooya has lost his memories and was hired to kill Aya. The two are sexually involved, but have very dark, tragic secrets.

wow i must say that is the best and most detailed suggestion post i ever got. paradise kiss is the only one of those that i watched already but they all look very good and i will definately check them all out. i just started Planet ES so once i'm done with that i believe i will check out mars first.

many thanks for the great post , i doubt i will be out of something to read / watch for quite a while.

Spice and Wolf. All about the growing depth of the relationship of the two main characters as they travel and the interactions are superb. The story starts off with them meeting and things unfold from there. Whilst this stops the entire series being fullfronted romance, there are more than enough 'dawwww' moments as they get closer. This may make it too early days for you, but the series does make up for that with the banter! The two do make it pretty obvious how they feel though, even if not always to the other.

And yes I do recommend it a lot as I love the series and main characters.
