What is your favorite romance anime? Or top 5

It's pretty much like Plastic Memories, but less modern...
The heroine is also an Android, also it got a "happy" ending too like Plastic Memories

It's a romance, but only for the last few episodes

Amagami SS is one I also always come back to thinking about as well.

Oh you’re a connoisseur for real😂 You have my respect. I’m currently watching 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy.

People don't hate on domestic girlfriend, well some people do but most people think it's dumpster fire anime, did you see how much spice it had in just episode 7? It's a trashy soap opera, well at least the opening is a banger I listen to it often.

What’s something you think is better than domestic girlfriend?

Amagami is good and clannad is the all time best. Watch them both if you haven't seen them.

I frankly wouldn't call Skip and Loafer season 1 (all that is out so far) a romance. The characters might eventually get together in the source material but season 1 didn't go anywhere near that.

Its a statement 😭✌️

Aoi Hana is the most relatably queer yuri I ever watched. This is the romance I personally connect with the most. Add to this its slow, introspective approach that lets every interaction sink in without giving easy emotional payoffs to most scenes, and you have yourself a series I love through and through.

O Maidens strikes a nice balance as a comedy about sexual awakenings and romances that go alongside it, that nonetheless takes its subject matter seriously.

Understandable, I also liked The Tunnel to Summer, the story is so good but I can't betray your name, the soundtrack is just too good, Radwimps cooked with the music. I still listen to it often.

I usually don't like harems but 100 girlfriends was peak for me😂

If you can't tell, I'm a huge sucker for non-harem/non-love rival romance that actually happens in the series and isn't just teased lol

I would say so if you want something more unique

School Rumble is an anime from 2005 or thereabouts. It has a lot of comedy with references to even older anime like Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and Slam Dunk, and as others have mentioned, it has a bit of romance, although for the most part it's comedic.

Unrequited love, mostly. But it has a fairly large cast and works because secondary characters get fleshed out, so there's never a feeling of inevitability between any two given characters, which keeps it interesting.

I recommend watching Shigatsu; it's a masterpiece of onion-cutting. Chunnibyou is incredibly comfortable to watch; it holds up through silly comedy without resorting to harem or ecchi while unfolding the romance. And Tonari no Kaibutsu is a really cool shoujo because the male character is funny, although the closed ending is only in the manga.

Probably because they are older animes. And I recognise that there's a nostalgia bias in play by putting those 2 in first place, since they were the two animes that really hit me hard back when I was a teenager, but I still think they are amazing, and I've rewatched them lately, and even without the nostalgia, they'd be easily in my top 10.

Cardcaptor Sakura is one of the great classics (the anime first season aired in 1999, I think) in the magical girl genre, like genre defining classics. It's about a 10 year old girl who accidentally awakens and scatters a set of magic cards and is tasked with collecting them to prevent them from doing various mischief around the town. The magical girl plot is iconic, but to me the true strength of this anime are the slice of life and romance elements. The cast of characters is so likeable (but not very realistic, everyone is just a bit idealised, but I find that watching them makes me believe in humanity) and it's just so fun to see their interactions and watching their relationships. And, while there are romance elements from the start, the true main romance is an extremely slow burn, but I love it for that, since you really see every little step in a changing relationship and you have the time to really appreciate it. The second movie is just a perfect climax for the romance part, and if you get to love the main couple, you have the yet unfinished adaptation of the sequel, Clear Card, where you get quite a few sugary moments of the main couble just being a cute couple. Overall, this one is not a pure romance, since the main plot is about the magical girl collecting the magical cards, but the main romance subplot slowly gains importance and by the end becomes as important if not more than the main magical girl plot. A warning, though, there are several side characters who have questionable romantic relationships (mainly due to age gap), but fortunately the most outrageous one is left pretty amiguous in the anime (in the manga, it's infuriatingly inappropriate). The main romance doesn't have any problems at all, and in my opinion, is one of the cutest love stories ever told.

KImagure Orange Road is an 80's romcom centered around a highschool love triangle. The protagonist and his sisters have special powers (mostly telekinesis and teleportation), so when they are discovered, they have to move. After moving once more, he meets a mysterious beautiful girl, who later happens to be his classmate, and she becomes the main love interest. However, another girl, 2 years younger, bumps into the protagonist and thinks they had an accidental kiss and starts to obsessively like him and chase after him. Becuase of his indecisiveness and inability to say a clear no, the protagonist ends up dating the younger girl, who he finds cute, despite clearly preferring the main girl. But, and here's the important part in the dynamic, the two girls are best friends since childhood. The main girl sort of backs down and accepts the younger girl's relationship, but since they are all friends, ends up spending a lot of time with the protagonist and there's clear romantic feelings in the air. The whole series is about how they mantain that uneasy love triangle they become sort of comfortable with, it is quite episodic, since almost every episode there's a return to the status quo, but there's also subtle progress. The anime series itself has a weird and unsatisfying ending, but there's a movie that is a quite dramatic and realistic conclusion for the love triangle, one of the most realistic portrayals of a tough break up I've seen in anime. A second movie has a bit of a convoluted time-travel plot and sort of heals the broken friendship, while advancing the main couple's relationship. I really like Kimagure Orange Road because it is one of the most realistic portrayals of teenage life and emotional behaviour I've seen in anime, it nails "I want to be an adult, but I am not ready yet" feeling most teenagers struggle with. And also, the main girl is one of the first examples of a (mostly non-violent) tsundere in anime, and my first anime crush.

The first one is similar to Yamada-kun's but a little older... not that much, and the fourth one is a bit like a mix of Gamers and Oregairu maybe, something like that.
