What is some romance action romance anime like SAO

Ok i know i might get hate for this but i don't animes with shit animation and I am not looking for a anime where it has so much fan service (like dxd). I am fine with isekais and academy based mangas.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight (a little bit of fan service), if I had a favorite action romance, this one would be up there.

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:32

I saw that one recently is was good

Uma-apreciator2026-01-28 04:30

Dan Da Dan

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:33

Is dan da dan a isekai and a overpowered mc or something different?

Uma-apreciator2026-01-28 04:35

It is something different but had romance and action

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:38

Ill give it a try

SupremeGluco2026-01-28 04:38

Two MCs one believes in aliens one believes in ghosts, both get supernatural powers and there is a peak romance between the two. It is my personal favorite anime and you should definitely give it a go!

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:40

its on netflix right?

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:40

or is that only one of the seasons

tempurasimp2026-01-28 04:33

Most of these unforch do have fan service, but def not DxD levels

Zero no Tsukaima
Darling in the Franxx
Banished from the Heroes' Party

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:34

ill try it out thanks

V01DDev2026-01-28 04:40

Spirit Chronicles
Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside
Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers

Maybe try also Mushoku Tensei?
All these are isekais with op mc that has some romance in it, especially chillin' in another world

But still nothing can beat SAO for me

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 04:42

Ye Sao on top but ill try it (I liked chilvary of a failed knight if you want somethin like SAO)

duncandun2026-01-28 04:44

Eureka seven

SmolPlaytoy2026-01-28 04:49

The magical revolution of the reincarnated princess and the genius young lady is good. Girl x girl romance. I forget how much action was in it but I know there is action in it.

RE:zero

BusyHoney97672026-01-28 05:10

Here's some that could work most of them don't have fanservice.

Inuyasha

My Happy Marriage(more romance than action)

Ancient Magus Bride(romance is a bit strange)

Sacrificial Princess and King of the Beasts(if youre ok with Beauty and the Beast vibes)

Yona of the Dawn(the anime doesn't get to the romance yet, otherwise would be my top pick)

86(romance is slow and more of a subplot)

Shakugan no Shana(has some fanservice)

Blast of Tempest(has some fanservice, the romance is more of a subplot and different from most anime)

For manga you could do Reborn as a space mercenary it's a full blown harem with shotgun relationships

I've tried a few manwhas and they fell flat, SSS suicide Hunter has romance in a later arc but honestly I dropped the series but lots of people seem to enjoy it

Banished from the heroes party, I decided to live in the country side, just watch season 1 has great sol/romance but the action is ass tbh, still a fun watch imo

Record of Grancest war is good

Berserk (96) version is a phenomenal anime id recommend it if you've never seen it

Record of lodoss war also has a slow burn romance and is a great anime

Takes of wedding rings, is an ecchi lotro parody series that I think is honestly pretty fun and has some fun characters, but it's pretty heavy on fan service

Rage of Bahamut

SAO Abridged.

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 22:50

peakkkk

kingofmyths32026-01-28 06:16

Its crazy to me people acutly like sao and mean it with out talking about the abriged which is just better

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-28 22:51

SAO is peak and the abridged version was good too

kingofmyths32026-01-28 22:53

No its not even the best at what it does. .hack, log horzion and shanger la are all better

Particular_Wheel_7922026-01-29 03:36

no way those are all great but Sword art is on top, the romance is good, the action is good, plot is good, and al the charactars are well written

kingofmyths32026-01-29 03:45

Ah i see your just a troll and a rage batter becouse no one would say that after seson 2 and how half the charcters have no personality at all.
