So... does Kanokon register as a romance anime?
I mean, the core of the storyline is a romantic relationship, but what goes on is more about lust than love.
I guess Chizuru's motives are stemming from her love, but still...

My favourite romance anime to date is Kannazuki no Miko.
Initially I was like "YAY ROBOTS!" then it became "YAY YURI!" then "sniff... sniff... yuri ;( ".

I'm a surprisingly big sucker for romance anime. 8( Recently, I have to agree with Jorfe. I really adored Romeo×Juliet. Right up to the last episode I was torn between wanting it to end the way it should (ie: by its namesake) or by giving them a happy ending. I was iffy at first but I really liked the fresh new take on the title. Weird, but interesting.

I also really enjoyed 5 Centimetres Per Second. It was... kind of romance? :/ I really adored the art in the movie, but just the way it approaches relationships--long distance, childhood, etc.--was nice as well. Again it varied from the norm and just felt like the real world where things just don't go the way you want and everyone eventually drifts apart. I liked that.

Haven't seen that show, but I lol'd at that.

I really like Lovely Complex. I know the whole "boy meets girl, boy hates girl, boy LIKES girl, boy hates girl again, boy likes girl once more, boy is horribly confused now" animes have been done one too many times, but I dunno, I think the height difference and the comic relief and the sheer sweetness involved in love.com is just awesome. It's really the only one I like to be honest, I want to get into more though.

Though the Anime does not show it so much, Kare Kano is an epic love story in the Manga. Really good stuff.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien / Rumbling Hearts is an EPIC, EPIC vastly underrated Romance/Drama anime. Very well rated but seen by few. I loved the storyline, animation was sharp. Good stuff.

Fansubbers of R×J got cease and desist letters before the series even ended in Japan, so that's probably why it's hard to find. I think it's licensed now, so you could get the official DVDs when they come out, but I may be wrong. :/

I've been watching Joujun Romantica.... And I love it. but they are taking a break after Episode 12. D;
But it is one of my favorite Romance animes. Along with Strawberry Panic, Gravitation and Ah! My Goddess. I wish I knew of more. XD

Remember the way I was, for me.
