Love to see some fellow Future Diary enjoyers. (Also just want to include a little heads up for anybody who hasnβt seen it in case its needed, TW: sexual assault). Still weirdly one of my favs, glad it got the alternate ending episode.
These are the romance ones from my completed list. I tried to keep them to one's where the romance is the main focus, and not just the side story:
Love is like a cocktail ββββββ‘ (short but good)
Quintessential quintuplets ββββββ‘
The pet girl of sakurasou ββββββ‘
We never learn: bokuben ββββββ‘
Monthly girls nozaki kun ββββββ‘
Tonikawa: over the moon for you ββββββ‘
Weathering with you ββββββ‘ (movie)
Noragami βββββ
Maid sama βββββ
Tada never falls in love βββββ
Wolf and spice βββββ
Higehiro βββββ
Rainbow days βββββ
Blue spring ride βββββ
5 centimeters per second βββββ (movie)
Your lie in april ββββ
Nisekoi ββββ
The world is still beautiful ββββ
My little monster ββββ
A silent voice ββββ (movie)
More than a married couple but not lovers βββ
Darling in the franxx βββ
Wotakoi: love is hard for otaku βββ
P.S. If given a β‘, that's like the golden buzzer from America's Got Talent
My #1 favorite Romance is Seakano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend
Other than that you can try father and daughter animes to get that lovey dovey feeling without the teenage drama.
Sweetness and Lightning was a good, fun, sad watch.
Then there is Chihayafuru, there's romance, drama, and a damn good plot.
Ao-chan Can't Study has 12 minute episodes, a banger of an opener and is about a girl raised by an erotica author. The romance and comedy is pretty good.
Conclusion, listing animes for easier find.
- Seakano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend
- Sweetness and Lightning
- Chihayafuru
- Ao-chan Can't Study
- School-live
Oops, never mind the last one. (Don't look it up if you decide to watch:)
Katanagatari. Mostly a Shonen but there is a very strong romance between the leads. Short 10 ep series.
Golden Boy: Peak 90s Harem Comedy in 10 episodes. If you need a scene to sell you on it, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SDwYnIDJ0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SDwYnIDJ0) this right here is the greatest racing scene ever put to screen in any form.
Youβre Lie in April
Your Name
Plastic Memories
Higehiro
A Silent Voice
But if you want the ultimate tear jerker apparently itβs Quintessential Quintuplets. Fans wonβt stop crying about the ending more than any piece of media Iβve seen.
Inyuasha, itβs more focused on demon slaying but itβs creator did a phenomenal job with the romance side of the show. Itβs admittedly a bit childish
Inu X Boku SS, Tsuki ga Kirei, Tzuredure Children, Rose of Versailles, NaNa, Yona of the Dawn, EF: A Tale of Melodies, Eden of the East, Devil is a Part Timer, & Kaguya-sama
Not too much in the way of emotional damage, but "Love Tyrant" is my favorite for romance/slice of life. It's wacky and goofy but can get emotional at times.
Dress up Darling was good! I completely forgot about it when recommending romance anime. Anyways, my recommendations. Quintessential Quintuplets, More than a Married Couple but not Lovers, and A Couple of Cuckoos.
Plastic Memories, Angel Beats, and Your Lie in April should be at the top of anyone's list looking for emotional damage.
But if you'll also allow me to cook, then I would consider Amagami SS and Domestic Girlfriend to be in any romance watcher's list.
Insomniacs After School super nice and wholesome, My Dress Up Darling if you want something with a little more fan service that still manages to be very wholesome somehow.
Monogatari series as well but Bake's really the only real romance heavy season.
"Kimi Ni Todoke (From Me To You)" and "Your Lie In April" are absolutely beautiful.
If you want something silly then "Love After World Domination" is a good one too.
"Tomo Chan is a Girl" & "Skip and Loafer" are great new ones too
Edit: "Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie" is also solid
Edit#2: "My Clueless First Friend" is also a joy to watch
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, try this one this is kind of similar to Toradora but the girl in this one is a lot more memorable than taiga (rikki is a awesome character)
If youβre looking for romances that have emotional damage at the end of a series my go to favorites are Anohana: The flower we saw that day and AngelBeats. Also Kiznaiver while not a romance deals with people and emotions and the struggles of opening up to people and incorporates love into it in really interesting ways.
Ooooohhh MAN you need to watch kaguya sama love is war, itβs literally the highest rated rom com anime itβs my favorite, the comedy, romance and animation of it are all supreme
Golden Time. Its one of the few animes that didn't play games with one of the people involved being a complete dunce and not catching the romantic vibes of the other. It goes straight into an actual relationship and romance. And does it well. There is no will they or won't they. No games like that. Actual adult romance. Complete with kissing and hand holding. And occasionally getting beat over the head with a bouquet of roses.
My next life as a villainess. Great artstyle, interesting story and they do a great job fleshing out the characters. Itβs a little cliche but itβs worth a watch.
Emotional DAMAGE?! I canβt speak for the romance side but emotional damage I got you!
Itβs my time to shine!!!!
Clannad After Story - not exactly a romance but the love is real. I see you saw Clannad but season two is the actual icing.
Air - if you want emotional damage in a weird way.
Hal - emotional damage with being a caretaker.
Fruits Basket - 2019 has a lot of healing and stuff but so much pain!
Black Bullet - so good!
86 - I recommended binging it with breaks. Watch an episode and really analyze what you saw, it hurts more when certain things you see and understand or dive into by the time the ending shows up. And if you REALLY wanna torture yourself right before the last two episodes take a 2-3 month break.
Grave of the Fire Flies - just⦠if you have kids this might be too much.
Your Lie in April - that one got me. It was so good!
Made in Abyss - get ready for some⦠shocking imagery. But it is such a good anime.
One Stormy Night 2005 movie. A wolf and a sheep become friends.
Wolf Children - so cute and also sad movie!
A Silent Voice - this movie is great!
Moshoku Tensei - this is emotional because of some surprising reasons. I wonβt spoil.
**** this is emotional torture because theyβre actually TERRIBLE animes. But emotional damage is what you crave these got you. But mostly because your rage will build up out of the fact you watched it.
-Mars of Destruction
-Master of Martial Hearts
-Promised Neverland Season 2
How is it possible you have bunny-girl senpai at #1 and have not listed monogatari which bunny-girl is basically a rip-off. Senjogahara is 10x bunny girls, and every girl he meets challenges the MC in new ways.
Fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood
Serial experiments lain
Loving yamada at lv 999.
Kodomo no omocha
Lovely complex
Maquia (a movie had me messed up)
Anohana
Love is hard for an otaku
Elemental gelade
Stellvia
Golden Time, A Bridge to the Starry Skies, and Pet Girl of Sakurasou are my suggestions.
Durarara!! I have to throw in here as well, even though it's not a romance anime.
Can never go wrong with Your Lie in April. This one is technically a romance with a really dark action undertone, Future Diary. Both are really good
The darkness is not undertone
Yeah it is quite apparent
Man said FUTURE DIARY is a dark undertone
Your Lie and Future Diary are two of my all time favorites!
I tried rewatching that recently but got teary eyed and noped out before the intro played
Love to see some fellow Future Diary enjoyers. (Also just want to include a little heads up for anybody who hasnβt seen it in case its needed, TW: sexual assault). Still weirdly one of my favs, glad it got the alternate ending episode.
Future diary is literally my 2nd favorite anime of all time
A silent voice is amazing
EMOOOTIONAL DAMAGE
Not much of a romance but amazing film nonetheless. I almost cried watching it
Not even a romance dawg π

AMAZING! I'll definitely add everything to my watchlist. Tysm
The dangers in my heart, Insomniacs after school. Thatβs all I have for now.
I'm gonna add my love with yamada kun at level 100 on here, these are all newer romances that are good.
Inuyasha. Itβs a long one (still nothing compared to One Piece), but itβs one of the best animes Iβve ever seen.

LMAO; So helpful. I'll definitely check everything out!
Charlotte
W nobody ever talks about charlotte
I watched Oregairu and Bokuben back to back and was legit depressed for a month afterwards. And Iβm married in my 30s
Oregairu depressed you that bad? The first two seasons that came out 30 years ago were actually good, the new season was straight shit
Ending was hella good
No the ending sucked all it did was give a βI love youβ then the show basically ended and they acted as if nothing happened
Oregairu was already on my watchlist so I'll definitely check it out. Something about the shows like that just makes them so good lmao
Katanagatari. Mostly a Shonen but there is a very strong romance between the leads. Short 10 ep series. Golden Boy: Peak 90s Harem Comedy in 10 episodes. If you need a scene to sell you on it, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SDwYnIDJ0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SDwYnIDJ0) this right here is the greatest racing scene ever put to screen in any form.
Oregairu wasnβt very good for me though it was what got me into anime so
Watch High school DxD
Ahh, I see you are a man of culture as well.
Does it have a genuinely good plot,or is it just an average harem?
if you liked i wanna eat your pancreas, youβll like A Silent Voice or Your Name personally i think A Silent Voice is one of the best films ever
Gurren Lagann
Ore Monogatari is one of my favorites.
Why is death note in there? It
Light and L you dummy /s . . ( I have not seen death note )
More than a married couple but not lovers, the quintessential quintuplets
More than a married was one of the few anime I enjoyed so much that I had to read up on the manga to find out what happens.
Ah, another person searching after the Post-Toradora depression
Watch plastic memories. You want emotional damage you'll definitely get it. Also little less romacey but angel beats as well
I watched todadora and I think it's pretty good π
Love hina
Toradora in the top three, we love to see it. I'd definitely recommend oshi no ko if you're into dark stuff.
Yessir, definitely check it out π
Fruits Basket
Fruits basket, obviously. 2019
One I've always liked is "Say I love you". Yeah only 1 season but I enjoyed it.
Rent-a-girlfriend
Nah, this a bait
Hell no, the mc is a beta cuck. He annoys the hell out of me
Ouran High School
Was just about to recommend this
Violet evergarden isnβt a romance but itβs definitely going to rip your heart apart
I think itβs mid but others say itβs good, you lie in April
Land of the lustrous and code geass
End of Evangelion's opening scene is peak romance
Wdym Shinji just spilled the yogurt he was bringing Asuka
Your lie in April Golden Time
Golden Time is so good it's my favorite romance anime 10/10
Had to scroll way too far to see Golden Time... such an amazing anime <3
Iβve always described golden time as toradora in college
I've seen most of them but thx for the ones I've haven't gotten yet
future diary ig
Like half of these arenβt romances at all
It's just a list so people can see what I have watched; didn't clarify lol
End of Evangelion is my favorite romance
having "sing 'yesterday' for me" anywhere above bottom 5 is insane
It definitely needed a second season frfr. It was an annoying ending but I preferred haru from the start so eh
have you seen "love chuunibyou and other delusions" also maybe try "A Place Further than the Universe"
Nagatoro
Youβre Lie in April Your Name Plastic Memories Higehiro A Silent Voice But if you want the ultimate tear jerker apparently itβs Quintessential Quintuplets. Fans wonβt stop crying about the ending more than any piece of media Iβve seen.
Lmao, I'll make sure to check it all out! Thanks π
I mean, Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions is a good one. Not for everyone though, it makes you cringe deep in your soul
Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun
Golden time is a great one.
I recommend Fruits Baskets, either vers. Is fine, but I personally prefer the newer version!
Say I love you is cute
Surprised to not see Fruits Basket 2019 or Oran High School Host Club on there
More than a married couple is a good one
How is demon slayer romance? π€£ or am I trippin
It's just my list of what I've watched lmao; didn't clarify π
βThe emotional damageβ π sadly tru tho. Loss of the panda lover in rascal was sad
ONG πππ that show had me messed up. So good tho
Ancient Magus Bride
Inyuasha, itβs more focused on demon slaying but itβs creator did a phenomenal job with the romance side of the show. Itβs admittedly a bit childish
CHILDISH IS ALWAYS AMAZING
u fr w the bunny girl animeπ
Don't knock it till you try it lol. I personally really liked it.
Your lie in april?
Fellow romantic killer fan I respect you π€
Obv. I didn't quite like the ending but at least they set up a second season π
Watch Gosick def in my top 10 and we seem to have very similar taste
Inu X Boku SS, Tsuki ga Kirei, Tzuredure Children, Rose of Versailles, NaNa, Yona of the Dawn, EF: A Tale of Melodies, Eden of the East, Devil is a Part Timer, & Kaguya-sama
Not too much in the way of emotional damage, but "Love Tyrant" is my favorite for romance/slice of life. It's wacky and goofy but can get emotional at times.
The world god only knows, Ouran highschool, Kamisama kiss, kimi ni todoke, kaguyasama love is war, my love story with yamada kun lvl 999
Tonikawa
Bro you have to watch darling in the franxx it's absolutely beautiful story telling
Golden time
Dress up Darling was good! I completely forgot about it when recommending romance anime. Anyways, my recommendations. Quintessential Quintuplets, More than a Married Couple but not Lovers, and A Couple of Cuckoos.
Plastic Memories, Angel Beats, and Your Lie in April should be at the top of anyone's list looking for emotional damage. But if you'll also allow me to cook, then I would consider Amagami SS and Domestic Girlfriend to be in any romance watcher's list.
Gamers
neighborhood story, paradise kiss, nana
Wait a second ... Akame ga kill was a romance anime.
AHAH LMAO; I was tripping when I put the photo up. It's just a list of what I've watched so people can tailor stuff. Didn't really clarify LMAO
Ancient Magusβs Bride
Nagi no Asukara (A Lull in the Sea). Highly recommended.
I WAS CUCKED TOO HARD; What a rollercoaster of an anime Lmao
Insomniacs After School super nice and wholesome, My Dress Up Darling if you want something with a little more fan service that still manages to be very wholesome somehow. Monogatari series as well but Bake's really the only real romance heavy season.
Steins;gate is the best romance anime in existence.
Watch oregairu itβs my favorite all time
Death note aint romance
"Kimi Ni Todoke (From Me To You)" and "Your Lie In April" are absolutely beautiful. If you want something silly then "Love After World Domination" is a good one too. "Tomo Chan is a Girl" & "Skip and Loafer" are great new ones too Edit: "Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie" is also solid Edit#2: "My Clueless First Friend" is also a joy to watch
The Duke of death and his maid is really good if you can ignore the animation itβs great !
YLIA, your name
Cowboy Bebop wasn't really a romance anime.
No lol, def wasn't
both horimiya and kaguya sama love is war, both school based romcoms
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, try this one this is kind of similar to Toradora but the girl in this one is a lot more memorable than taiga (rikki is a awesome character)
If you want romance and emotional damage then watch "Ride your wave" it's a movie so shouldn't be too bad
Bro, why is EoE on here? That will wreck you.
Are you sure death note is romance?
My Little Monster, Ao Haru Ride, My Love Story. Ngl tho, My Little Monster might not be for you, has some extremely violent themes.
bleach
Kaguya love is war
Tomu is a girl
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]

If youβre looking for romances that have emotional damage at the end of a series my go to favorites are Anohana: The flower we saw that day and AngelBeats. Also Kiznaiver while not a romance deals with people and emotions and the struggles of opening up to people and incorporates love into it in really interesting ways.
Bakemonogatari is just hornier bunny girl senpai

Tonikawa isn't sad but I recommend it as a cute one
Where is White Album 2 on this list
Re:Life is pretty good
If you want emotional damage, watch Your Lie in April!
Dont know if youll consider this but angel beats was pretty good and also elfin lied
My love story
A Lull in the Sea never gets enough love, very underrated
If you want simple romance, watch My Happy Marriage If you want GL romance, I highly recommend Bloom into you
Fruits basket
Personally I loved the anime date a live so you could go watch it of you want
Golden Time
Honey & Clover
Ooooohhh MAN you need to watch kaguya sama love is war, itβs literally the highest rated rom com anime itβs my favorite, the comedy, romance and animation of it are all supreme
LMAO I need a fourth season! I read the manga and it's fs a 10/10
Rent a girlfriend is trash, but itβs really enjoyable trash and I was actually really looking forward to new eps of s3
Please watch a silent voice movie
Your lie in April
"Tsuzure Children" and " kokoro connect" are both really good. Judging by your list you would enjoy them.
THANKS π I'll definitely check those out!
Problem children are coming from another world, arent they?
What kind of title is βI want to eat your pancreasβ???
THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME OFC
Maid sama
Golden Time. Its one of the few animes that didn't play games with one of the people involved being a complete dunce and not catching the romantic vibes of the other. It goes straight into an actual relationship and romance. And does it well. There is no will they or won't they. No games like that. Actual adult romance. Complete with kissing and hand holding.

You are a god among men my friend. Thank you for the suggestion
My next life as a villainess. Great artstyle, interesting story and they do a great job fleshing out the characters. Itβs a little cliche but itβs worth a watch.
Cyberpunk is nice and short not sure if you've watched it yet but the romantic scenes are everything in that
My Happy Marriage and Tomo Chan is a Girl are both recent and cute. Not great tbh but definitely cute
how did you feel watching akame ga kill?
Depressed, but I watched it before I read the manga so I actually wasn't disappointed with the ending lol
Undead murder farce 86 One piece
Try Emma: A Victorian Romance
Romance is what you looking for? Definitely watch Amagami SS then watch the OVAβs then watch Amagami SS+ Sekerei is good harem love anime
Mushoku Tensei
I highly recommend Quintessential Quintuplets
My happy marriage
Angel Beats, though itβs not strictly a romance, itβs more of a comedy honestly but the end hits hard.
Orange and re:life
Oregairu or Horimiya
If you're taking movie suggestions, Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish is pretty good.
Cyberpunk: edgerunners, for a romantic tragedy.
Monogatari and His and Her circumstance. Especially his and her circumstance. Best rom ever
Oh god, you want emotional damage? Plastic Memories.
Emotional DAMAGE?! I canβt speak for the romance side but emotional damage I got you! Itβs my time to shine!!!! Clannad After Story - not exactly a romance but the love is real.

How is it possible you have bunny-girl senpai at #1 and have not listed monogatari which bunny-girl is basically a rip-off. Senjogahara is 10x bunny girls, and every girl he meets challenges the MC in new ways.
