Help with Romance Anime Recommendations

Can someone give me recommendations for a new romance anime? I feel like I've seen all the popular ones (OHSHC, Fruits Basket, Maid Sama, Toradora, Love is war etc.) but I really want to find a new one to watch. I mainly only watch dubbed ones but I wouldn't mind watching one that isn't dubbed.

Hi HuckleberryRadiant18, it seems like you might be looking for new anime to watch!

The users of this subreddit came up with [a chart of anime recommendations for newcomers and veterans](https://i.redd.it/0w1v880jtq661.png) and [an awesome longer flowchart](https://i.redd.it/vdzlkodz19c71.png). Maybe you can find something there that you'll like \^.\^

Then it's about time you watch "your lie in April".

gud_fellow2026-01-01 22:34

Maybe it's better to watch this show in April when everyone else is also rewatching.

ROCKETZOMBIE772026-01-02 17:13

Is there a rewatch for a subreddit of the anime? It’s on my watchlist and I’d join in on the discussions if I knew what day it started and how many episodes it lasts..

gud_fellow2026-01-02 17:51

Yes, A rewatch disscusion starts every year on this subreddit. It should appear in Rewatch flair in April. It starts on 1st of April. Therefore it's better to watch that show in April when everyone is discussing about it again.

ROCKETZOMBIE772026-01-02 19:07

Alright, I’ll look forward to it. How many days/episodes is it??

gud_fellow2026-01-02 19:12

Just search up the show's name in the rewatch flair and the last discussion will appear.

ROCKETZOMBIE772026-01-02 19:40

Yeah I got it. Been apart of the last couple Toradora! ones!!

> I feel like I've seen all the popular ones

Since I don't know if you mean a dozen or a couple hundred by that I'll just point at the [romance poll results](https://i.redd.it/fxetvs8r0omb1.png) ([source with top 100 in the comments](/r/anime/comments/16bpe91/ranimes_favorite_romance_anime_ranime_poll_results/)), the existing [recommendation wiki page](/r/anime/wiki/recommendations#wiki_romance), and the database sites like [MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/22/Romance) and [AniList](https://anilist.co/search/anime?genres=Romance).

I have stacks on MAL for this, so I hope they can help you.

[Adult Romance Anime](https://myanimelist.net/stacks/69362) (16 total) - I hate that there are so few, especially dubbed ones.

[Romance Anime (Part 1)](https://myanimelist.net/stacks/60228), [(Part 2)](https://myanimelist.net/stacks/60286), [(Part 3)](https://myanimelist.net/stacks/64502) (75 total)

These all have show descriptions (mostly summarize by me, not someone else's post) and my opinion of them (not that it really matters, but it might help you have some insight when you go into a show.)

Tomo-chan is a Girl had already better be on your watch list. The dub is fantastic. Happy birthday to Lexi Nieto too!

star__seek3r2026-01-03 18:09

Kamisama Hajimemashita is really, really good, you won’t regret it.

Redderrit2026-01-03 21:32

With you or love will make it through is a romance anime that just finished airing and it was really wholesome and cute. Definitely recommend

pastaboxeater2026-01-03 23:08

i liked toni kaku kawaii its dubed

Southern-Brother56932026-01-03 23:26

Horimiya and Your Lie In April.

Gotta_Go_Slow2026-01-04 00:15

My favorites are already listed (*Kimi ni Todoke* and *A Sign of Affection*).

I'd also suggest:

**A Star Brighter Than the Sun** (a very recent anime - that will get a second season, apparently; very gentle slow-burn romance)

**The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten** (very gentle and cozy - also about to get a second season)

**Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!** (adventures with a sweet romance)

Honorable mention to:

**Insomniacs After School** (I consider this one of the best written romantic relationships in anime)

Hope you find what you're looking for. :)
