I agree with Key that Escaflowne is one of the greatest action/romance out there. Van Hitomi lookk really good together and it's great watching them slowly come to their senses and realize they were in love.
One of the sweetest love stories out there is Whisper of the Heart. Not a drop of fanservice or gimicky comedy, just two hours of unadulterated Ghibli goodness. |

Ai Yori Aoshi is in fact a very good quality series, and Aoi and Kaoru have one of anime's best (and least dysfunctional) relationships.
However, I would definitely place Oh! My Goddess above Ai Yori Aoshi for the series longevity and the amazing depth of Keiichi and Belldandy's feelings. Maison Ikkoku is the definite runner up (and many may see it in reverse) because of many of the same reasons. The characters are very deep and very emotional, and there's a very lovely atmosphere to the series that's sweet but not saccharine. In time, Ai Yori Aoshi, I think, will become a classic amongst romance anime, but for now it's playing second fiddle to the grand classics like Maison Ikkoku and Oh! My Goddess. |

Kare kano's good. I also liked Ai Yori Aoshi, Sakura Diaries,
Mahoromatic. 
But the ones that I liked the best are: *Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien - though not as much romance as more emotional suffering, but still good enough. *If I See You In My Dreams - my favorite. Comedy, romance, tragedy; all packed in convenient 6 minute episodes. Highly recommended.

No mention of Kimagure Orange Road at all in this topic yet? Horrible. That's as good as it gets, for the most part. It is, by far, my favorite romantic anime... and I've seen a good number of them. Maison Ikkoku and Oh! My Goddess are both very good, but even those I'd put just behing KOR.

Oh My Goddess!'s longevity (the mangas at least) comes from the world its in and the way Fujishima tells his stories in my opinion. They're so diverse in subject, and so well told. But Bell and K1's releationship is another part of its wonderful charm. No angst or drama, which gets old. But the Ai Yori Aoshi manga has recenty won alot of critical praise in Japan. It was nominated recently for the Media Arts Award (which is usually awarded to sophisticated mangas that usually don't see huge mainstream success, with a few exceptions of course). I like it now, but I'm expecting that as the author grows it will become great. |

Maison Ikkoku and Video Girl Ai are classic masterpieces.

A magazine listed Japan's top 10 most favorite types of women: (I'm still looking for the source) 1. Childhood sweetheart 2. Younger sister (blood or not) 3. (corrupt encoding) 4. Shinto priestess 5. Newlywed 6. Teacher 7. (corrupt encoding) 8. (corrupt encoding) 9. Big b00b 10. Classmate Aoi-chan is #1 (minus kicking you up from the bed in the morning) plus a bit of #2 and #9. No wonder she's so popular.

What's with the "corrupt encoding"?
Aoi has the characteristics that generally appeal to MANY males. She's sweet, demure, understanding, (overly) sensitive. And she is a looker! Short hair or not, I think she's one of the most beautiful out there. |

It was written in Shift-JIS, but kana fonts were lost after someone forwarded the article to an ANSI text-based Big5 (which is not Unicode compatible and M$ version contains no Japanese font) forum. I have contacted the forwarder to give me a translation (he has NLS code forwarding software to redirect improper coding).

Ah My Goddess is unreservedly one of the top 5 Anime/manga romances to come out of Japan. but Mr Fujishima seems to have run out of ideas were to take it. The resent plots have been mostly about either bike races, or the love life of Banpie.
It's nice to see that Mr. F can draw various models of motor vehicles, and the odd historic aircraft, with intricate detail, but it's a bit off the original plot, and starting to look like he's stretching, or gropping to either avoid the subject of romance between Bell and K1, or has just run out of ideas which way to take it. I don't think Mr. F is a married man.

I actuly think that it was good short. if it wasn't; if it was an OVA then it would be wiered. the little information just adds to the story, if they show a happy ending then its not that great, but if they open ended it; its kick arse |

I think to me will be Hana Yori Dango. It's too sweet and it shows how two people fight to hang in on relationships and stuff... There are also those old shows like Marmalade Boy or Maison Ikkoku...

I liked KOR, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite. But then again, I haven't watched I Want To Return To That Day yet, so my opinion might change. |

I personally feel they deserve a happy ending. But that's just my opinion, which doesn't count very much does it? |
