I picked Clannad: After Story but even though it's my favorite anime of all time, my favorite anime in terms of romance is actually Nagi no Asukara.

My favorite romance is Horimiya.
It's so nice to have them get together early on so that the romance can just focus on them getting to know more about each other.

I also love the Snow White with the Red Hair anime, but I'm extremely disappointed in how the story continues in the manga. (For me, the story ends after season 2 of the anime)

@Nirinbo Nana was great! But I wouldn't put it at the top for romance. It's more like a string of failed relationships. I'd say maybe #1 for drama category.

Its kind of disgusting seeing trash like Your Name even in this discussion honestly, imagine thinking the romance is good when first half is just girl helping dude hook up with his coworker and then sudden time skip of them being in love with each other despite actually never talking face to face

Shakugan no Shana my fav romance and nothing has topped it for over 10 years


but for voting on poll I would say Clannad

@Strayfe It is indeed labeled as "Love Polygon" on MAL, that's the main difference from more traditional romance anime with a clear main couple.

My favourite romance is actually Beastars season one, followed by kaguya sama love war followed by fruits basket.

Tsuki ga Kirei. In one season, told a very satisfying romance story with good character development, relatable and conflicting moments that made me truly reflect on both the ups and downs on my previous relationship and had a great ending. I love the more dry, nuanced, awkward and quieter tone this series had with Akane and Kotaro, and even more, I loved seeing the two of them have their own individual lives and defined characters outside of the romance aspect and throughout the series, them learning to depend on each other and communicate to be more into each other and understand each other in more depth since they did not know each other that much prior to getting together. It's just a very refreshing and unique tone among romance anime I've seen and it handles drama that I would normally expect to be iffy, pretty damn well. I still reflect on it and miss it to this day, 7 years later.

None of mine are on the list, as I would not expect them to be, but mine, if I were to create a separate list and ranking order for it, would go something like this:

1.) Koi Kaze
2.) Inuyasha
3.) Elfen Lied
4.) Kodomo no Jikan
5.) Mahoutsukai no Yome
6.) Happy Sugar Life
7.) Aku no Hana
8.) Beatless

(*Note - This is not the ranking I have these in as series as a whole - as in, apart from the romance aspect. Ranking here is purely for the romance alone. For these shows as romances to me).

Then, apart from those and additionally, instead of filling out the last few empty slots in a hypothetical Top 10, I would say that my other few favorite romances are in series which are decidedly predominantly non-romance and almost never tagged as such on all the relevant various archival/database and logging websites. The specific element of romance in Shiki, Noragami, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Ikoku Meiro no Croisée the Animation, Subete ga F ni Naru, Jormungand, and Black Lagoon.

I haven’t seen Clanned or fruits baskets. Not mentally prepared and heard Fruit Baskets is an annoying harem with bad ending. PTW though
My favs are probably :
1. Bunny girl Senpai and Golden time
(I might be biased as they were my first shows I watched that got me in Anime after only having seen Pokemon DBZ and Beyblade etc.)
2. Darling in the FRANXX (End plot was ass)
3. Your lie in April
4. Quintessential Quints & Kaguya
5. Kono oto Tomare & Maid Sama
6. Cyberpunk & 3D Kanojo
dk if cyberpunk counts,loved it and criedSomehow
7. Higehero : I liked which most don’t and felt attached to it for awhile
8. The angel next door : I don’t remember it much but apparently have it rated a 9.

I enjoy RomComs a lot, but ones which also include quite a bit fair share of drama and issues the couple come over &The show havin quite a bit of depth than the average Rom shows is also nice.
(I like these if you don’t it’s all good) 🤌

It’s 100% between clannad and your name. Clannad is my favorite romance show and your name is my favorite romance movie. My vote goes for Your Name though, it’s just way too important to me. But everyone who likes anime should mandatorily watch both.

your name romance is forced, shouldnt be competing . And Kaguya sama should be replaced with Karekano as an option.

Id like to say Clannad afterstory but the end was "meh", and I havent watched Fruits Basket (yet) so my vote goes to BokuYaba.

My fav romance shows include :

I want to eat your pancreas, Ao Haru Ride, Horimiya, Your Name, Bunny Girl Senpai, Toradora, Kaguya-sama LiW, Wotaku, Golden Time, YLIA, Tsuki ga kirei

I would also include two ongoing mangas (Ao no Hako and The Fragrant flowers bloom with dignity) which will probably be getting an anime adaptation soon. So yeah, they are also really good imo.

I never really got the hype about Clannad and Dangers in my heart so I don't care about these two.
And FruBa, I am currently watching it so let's see how that one goes.

Also, I liked Oregairu's first season but after that it felt like it became kinda over dramatic and weird in the next seasons. So, not a huge fan of it.

Out of the options you gave us probably Clannad. Its blatantly manipulative, but emotional & complete with delightful characters. I wish it was believable, because even the walking archetypes are sweethearts I can't help but adore.

Yagate Kimi ni Naru

The perfect Yuri. The animation, The music, The moments, EVERYTHING is so damngood

And so many sweet lesbian kisses,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

I also love Strawberry Panic and Sakura Trick. But when It comes to romance I think Yagate is the better one

It is not on this list, but my personal favourite is Koe no Katachi. I know it's not a straight-up romance, but it hits me in the feels every time.
