I need recommendations about romance/romantic comedy-focused programs before 2015

I have stopped watching Japanese animated shows for a long time and I need something good that I can easily binge-watch to regain anime knowledge. Their first season must be broadcasted in fall 2015 season and earlier (prefer programs with widescreen 16:9 format). The program should have romance/romcom as the main element, having low amount of fan service scenes, and having good ending/ending with two of the main characters as a couple if the program is finished (triangle love/love corner are accepted). Programs that have the same vibe with Maid-sama! (2010), Chihayafuru (2011), Nisekoi (2014), Kaguya-sama: Love Is War (2019), Fruits Basket (2019) and Horimiya (2021) are ok to me. Any opinions/recommendations are all appreciated!

Toradora! was my first thought. So many great scenes that I think about to this day.

I had watched Charlotte before so I think this from the same author should work on me. Thanks 👍

Most everything from Key anime is good.
