No rec? What is this madness?
I LOVE REC! DAMMIT THIS LIST IS SHIT!
There's no REC because the female protagonist HAD SEX and ruined her purity! The otakus just can't handle that.
Otaku has always been a negative connotation....
Only Westerners used otaku wrongly. Otaku means more like obsessive maniac.
this is kind of like the word critique or any form of it these days it all seems negative when its more of a neutral term
>> before otaku means enthusiast?
Yes, before like in.. the early 1980s.
Lol What has the world come to? I just realized the word "Anime Otaku" has a such a negative connotation, now that idols/seiyuu have been threatened, etc. etc. Before it just meant Anime Enthusiast= someone who has a broad knowledge of the overall anime/manga/gaming industry.
some one, please tell this 07:10 joker
i believe s/he not japanese but what with that enthusiast theory? lol. before otaku means enthusiast? typical westerner
Oh right, Rec. I had forgotten all about it, but that one really was sweet.
Spice & Wolf.
while it has romance in it and cetainly still has a place in my heart it isn't really a romance show, it's spice&economics
it's economics&wolf dammit.. you cant take away the title's main selling point from the title.. horo is <3!!!
^This!!!! yes and spice wolf
Kiss x sis
LoL
1. Toradora!
2. Clannad
3. Ai yori Aoshi
4. Onegai Teacher
6. Kimi ni Todoke
7. Emma
10. Ichigo 100%
I'm ok with those, though strictly speaking Ichigo 100% MANGA was a great romance story, the anime alone would not make it up there.
I personally might add the likes of Vision of Escaflowne, KGNE, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Saikano, etc.
I want to see a new anime of Onegai...
Old_Nash
I know about Onegai Friends.
But that was almost 10 years ago. I wanted something new.
Once I got to draw a pseudo-continuation called Onegai Family. Where Mizuho was a son of Kei, this traveling on business, the Maho as a teenager living on Earth; Matagu in college.
In addition to some original characters for the story.
As a Japanese-Brazilian girl behind your raise, a Sino-Korean trying to find a place to call home, a Japanese trying to forget where you came from, and a boy trying to find her sister.
The story generated around a single thing they all sought, Family.
Old_Nash
They made a radio drama only in Japan called Onegai Friends, strangely enough they released figurines of the characters but never turned the story into an anime (or even a manga as far as I know). Maybe they just didn't get enough love (*chuckle*) to continue after Onegai Twins?
There's Ano Natsu de Matteru...
No White Album? Ef is on 9th place?
Bad list.
I realize now, 8 titles from that list are my all time favorites.
Im so MOE right now....
P.S. MacrossF sheriru & Ichigo100% tsukasa FTW!!!!
Yeah Chobits isn't even there.
No kanon, or Kimi kiss???? o m g
Was Ichigo 100% even supposed to be romance? I actually feel it doesn't fit into that category.
And I feel the list ain't that good. Air, Kanon, Chobits and KGnE is not in there.
I've learned to stop having expectations. =/
I still remember Kimi Ga Nozomu No Eien. Was it not considered as a romance and more of a tragedy?
The best romance anime/mangas are those with tragedy or something like that.
Not those where its all happy and good imho.
And yeah I think I have never
cried as much as I did to Kimi Ga Nozomu No Eien lol.
No Kaichou wa Maid-sama!either...
Ichigo 100% <333
amazing these ADD guys remembered that anime
kimi kiss?
you sir, are a genius.
I am a ma'am D:
Yes! Toradora.
Toradora on place no.1 where it should be. The rest... Who cares about the rest anyway?
Clannad. I'm very glad that Clannad placed in the top two along with Toradora.
I do. most of the list is okay, but it's ridiculous to not have Kanon or Kimi Kiss on there.
And I always thought Ef would do better on this kind of list.
> 1. Toradora!
So true.
Toradora at first place? First top 10 on SC that I agree with.
I'm surprised there is no mention of SHUFFLE!!.
Sorry Anon but NO....JUST NO (Shuffle's Anime was GARBAGE)
I was thrilled though to see Ai Yori Aoshi actually made it on the list period. Even more so in that it's #3 :). Saddens me though that my favorite romance anime is kind of loose ended. What about that house in the country with the Cherryblossoms and 3 kids? WE NEED A CONTINUATION! I think true fans of Ai Yori Aoshi deserve to see Aoi and Kaoru's family.
YAY!!!
Toradora at #1
Anime Fans wising up I see. :)
Recent OVA made me watch back a few episodes.
How I miss this type of show where I care what happens to the romance, which seem to be lacking these days...
well let's see what happens with Ano Natsu de Matteru, I don't see it like a great romance story, but is the best you can get these days...
WHERE THE HELL IS VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE?!
WHERE IS VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE!?!!? FFFFF
This list... I am very okay with it.
Onegai Teacher. The rest can go walk off a pier.
This and it should be higher than number 4.
