Need romance anime recommendation

Any recommendations?

Hi I just wanted to ask if you guys have some recommendations for me. I look for animes like MDD, oregairu, horimiya, dandadan, you lie in april etc. , that are basicly well written and have an optimal pacing (not like rent a gf). I would also prefer animes were the characters dont look like they just came out of elementary school. Id prefer if there is a dub version but it isnt very important to me.

Love Chunibyo And Other Delusions--2 Seasons, a movie and a Christmas special. Very cute, lots of fun, great pacing, peak characters.

A Lull in the Sea--1 season, 26 episodes. Excellent world building and lore. Great pacing, basically split into two major arcs, 1-13 and 14-26. Wholesome, sweet, and tragic. Second OP is peak.

Kaguyasama: Love is War--It's as good as everyone says it is. Top tier across the board.

Clannad: Amazing characters and storytelling, first arc is crazy dull imo, but the pacing picks up like crazy after that. Does the unheard of in high school romance anime: let's the characters grow up into adults. Much tears. Main girl doesn't really do it for me, I find her too childish throughout, but the storytelling is good enough to surpass that.

The Dangers in My Heart. They're in middle school, and the guy looks it, but it's worth it.

Xepherya2025-12-26 23:50

He also goes through active growth spurts

violet evergarden

MadeInGermany942025-12-28 01:56

The Musik and animation are really well made. Tears started running often.

Shot-Broccoli-33142025-12-28 03:53

just wait for the story and you’ll like it more

MadeInGermany942025-12-28 04:46

I think I only watched the Frist season and the Frist movie of it. Need to watch the rest too.

Shot-Broccoli-33142025-12-28 11:26

honestly I don’t remember the rest but what I remember is the experience was emotionally sad

Shot-Broccoli-33142025-12-28 11:45

I revised my list and turns out I watched Violet evergarden the one containing 13 episodes, the movie, and (eternity and the automated memory doll). personally I would recommend first and second choices cuz those I remember well, and the third one isn’t that good but if you want to watch it it’s your choice

MadeInGermany942025-12-28 13:49

I like to complete what I liked to watch.

Shot-Broccoli-33142025-12-28 14:05

respects for you, I am the same

Spoils me rotten

Al3xande12025-12-26 23:45

Already saw it. Was a really great watch. I'll think about rewatching it

SongsAbout-Leaving-2025-12-26 23:48

Idk if you’ve seen it but it came out this season, “My Awkward Senpai.” Haven’t seen the last ep but it was good. There’s also “I have a crush at work” which is rlly good too. Both are young adults instead of just highschool

Al3xande12025-12-26 23:49

Thank you. I think they gonna be great. Gonna binge watch them in prob 3 days or sum

SongsAbout-Leaving-2025-12-27 00:03

For sure. I’d start with the latter btw, easily best adult character romance anime Ive seen

Btw is oreigairu good? Haven’t seen it yet

Al3xande12025-12-27 00:04

PLEASE WATCH OREGAIRU. One of the best ones i've seen. Its literally so good.

SongsAbout-Leaving-2025-12-27 00:32

Bet I’ll watch it next

SchemeCivil57062025-12-26 23:44

Golden time gotta be the best romance anime ever

A sign of affection

Kiethavemezo2025-12-26 23:51

Check out A Sign of Affection, no dub if I remember correctly but I’d still highly recommend.

Darling in the Franxx is a personal favorite (I love mechs), but there’s some weird anime things that you have to look past to enjoy the story.

Psuedo Harem is another 10/10 IMO, no English dub but 100% worth it!

MrYamaTani2025-12-26 23:52

My wife and I both enjoyed A Sign if Affection

MarmDevOfficial2025-12-27 01:52

A sign of affection has a dub!

SpecialTreats012025-12-26 23:52

The Summer Hikaru died is rare but nice

Xepherya2025-12-26 23:52

The Dangers in My Heart is so lovely ❤️

Well written characters with depth who experience real growth that doesn’t feel so manufactured. It focuses heavily on friendship first and builds off it.

Al3xande12025-12-26 23:53

Thanks for the recommendsation

CuteLittlePile2025-12-26 23:57

Watch Nodame Cantabile.

tomo chan is a girl, pseudo harem, call of the night, insomniacs after dark, my dress up darling, don’t toy with me miss nagatoro, kaguya sama were all great to me with good pacing.

eZik42025-12-27 01:17

Dude, one that I love and is similar to "You Lie in April" is "Plastic Memories," it's REALLY GOOD, but sad too. Others I love are Tomo-chan, Uzaki (it's quite sexualized, but I like the anime itself), and there are also some movies, Josee, The Tiger and the Fish, 5 Centimeters Per Second, and Your Name. I think that's it.

aYoou_2025-12-27 01:50

Toradora must be one of the best romance animes that I have ever watched.

You should take a look

Sirlight852025-12-27 02:11

Clannad is peak.

Terry___Mcginnis2025-12-27 02:13

Sakurasou, Oregairu, Otonari and Toradora are all great.

i really enjoyed kamisama kiss

I have a crush at work.
Came out early this year, it's an office romcom with two adults in an actual adult relationship with no drama and good side characters. Easily the best adult romance anime I have ever seen.
Wotakoi is similar and quite good, but the characters and their relationship aren't as mature
