I can’t seem to watch anything unless it has some type of romantic payoff.

Anytime I watch an anime and it ends without any type of romantic payoff I just get left disappointed. I still like a bunch of shows that don’t have any romance in it but ever since I started watching romance animes it has completely reworked my brain. Even when I’m gonna go to play a new game the first thing I check is if it has romance options lmao. What animes (not romance animes) have good romance or just even a slight romantic payoff in it? Like SAO, Naruto,cyberpunk and 86. I’ve debated watching Fate and TG or if anyone has any other suggestions.

Well, this season has You and I Are Polar Opposites, The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife, and In the Clear Moonlit Dusk. Only two episodes out for each, but they are doing what you want.

Major - Baseball anime that has a childhood friend romance, that develops over the course of the show and leads to marriage/kids.
