If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

clannad is the at the #1 of romance anime's of all time if not pretty close on #1 . Pretty good execution. Just try to get through season 1 since it's season is not that exceptional really. It's the season 2 that makes it one of the best of all time if not the best. I can assure you that. Just finish season 1 then explode with season 2.

EDIT
ok romance is the wrong word. Clannad is topping at the drama part.

Don't think Clannad is that close #1 drama imo. I think quite a few anime are much better in the drama department.

Uhhh, just staring at the recommendation list above me:

Hourou Musuko, Welcome to the NHK, Tokyo Godfathers, Tsumiki no Ie, Noein (wtf that got put in drama? okay it kind of makes sense) are all better than Clannad imo

Hourou Musuko especially btw.

Hourou Musuko never tried it I found the topics of the show really somewhat irritating if not thought provoking but i am pretty sure that show is good.

Seen Welcome to the NHK and i agree that show was pretty good. I even had to stop watching at times since it was too heavy for me.

Never seen the others but maybe IMO i liked the clannad AS better. It was + Show Spoiler +
the family thing and finding purpose in life was what was hitting home at clannad AS.
Yes i know NHK also got that element and did a pretty good job at it but i guess clannad was better at mixing happiness and sadness. I mean the timing was absolutely insane from clannad but i am yet to see a really good drama series that tops clannad AS. So my opinion stands as of now.

Also i am not pointing out the entire show. I am just pointing out clannad AS here. Since honestly clannad season 1 didn't really impress me almost dropped the show because of it. Really i found it mediocre and boring at times. I am just counting the season 2 but if we are counting all seasons sure clannad doesn't really scale that much.

Any suggestions for a romance anime guys ?

I haven't finished spice and wolf but i think i'm gonna drop it. Seen Clannad:AS,Toradora,Kimi no Todoke, Lovely Complex, My little monster, Yamato Nadeshiko,

or maybe some decent romance anime movie would do. That i actually get to see the MC and the best girl become a couple and deal with problems along with it. Not just the last episode because that could be incredibly annoying.

And is Kimikiss Pure Rouge good as romance ?

i looked at the recommendation list .. i've seen most of them or tried them ..


Some that comes to mind, lots not on the list

RomCom:

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou
Ourankoukou Host Club
Urusei Yatsura
Maison Ikkoku
Miyuki
Fruits Basket

RomDrama:

Paradise Kiss
Koi Kaze
Hanasakeru Seishounen
Saishuu Heiki Kanojo

Maison Ikkoku . I actually encountered this show a lot of times been recommended to me a lot of times and tried episode 1 but couldn't finish it. I would want to know if the courting part or the flirting part dominates the show ?

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou seems pretty good except that the MC's might be boring since they have no weakness. you know.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora sound freaking interesting i need to try this one.

I am dodging sci-fi element/fantasy element being mixed on romcom/romdrama right now. I don't enjoy shows with moe character much either. I also prefer characters who aren't so smart or so popular or so rich so i don't wanna watch shows like Special A or Ouran Host Club something. And please no incestrous stuff and yaoi. I honestly hate does shows.

thanks for the suggestion anyways .. and sorry for being so damn picky lol

lol that's what I was wondering too. But it does kind of make sense, though it could use a sci-fi tag or something as well.

Why put Clannad (only talking about AS now) into romcom? I don't know, but I really felt like it fell heavily in comedy, was more drama and slice of life. It'd be like putting Berserk as comedy. Sure sometimes puck and kid do something funny, but I wouldn't label the show as such.
Now I know Clannad AS is categorized as such, but it makes more sense to me to categorize shows based on what they do best, not elements which are present only sometimes.

Key doesn't do drama very well, they are honestly better with the comedy writing (Sunohara, Masato?) even in Clannad. I honestly believe Ef does the sentimental drama better, without becoming overbearing and absurd. Maybe because minori can at least to some degree write realistic female characters while every female in every key VN is laughable at best.
Comparing them because they are comparable, if we are talking about non sentimental drama there is so much better out there than Clannad.

Why would you seriously recommend shit like this? Not even a retarded 12 year old female would swallow the things you just recommended.

Well like I said, it's better in the sense of comparison. It's more like fake drama. For example in the Yuuko chapters after she was 'freed' from her brother, it wasn't happily ever after. Still subtly showing scars, guilt and panic attacks. It's not well written if you compare it to more realistic drama like Touch or H&C or Planetes, but it still miles better than Keyshit. To me, it's two different genres.

Why did you even compare them then? They are different things like you said, lol.

After watching Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood trail there's some details that went over my head or didn't get a good explanation.

+ Show Spoiler +
Why did Eda help Mr.Chang and Roberta? I get that the Grey Fox's mission was against the interest of the CIA but i'm not sure what was the conflict.

Why did Rock's plan have no effect on Roanapur or the Triad in the end if Shue Yan was arrested?

No, I said/meant that minori and key make similar things and are comparable, but it's not the same genre as for example Touch or H&C or Planetes. Route based male centered anime bottoming in VNs certainly have an aspect resembling drama, but it's vastly different from the real world so it shouldn't really be justified calling it drama (even though people do). I hope I'm making myself clear now.

When you say "best girl", I think that automatically caters to any harem--ever. And that means no romance progression, or just a pseudo development, then they go back to the harem circle jerking (In my experience ofc)

I could suggest http://myanimelist.net/anime/14289/Sukitte_Ii_na_yo. Worth a try imo.


edit: Kayano Ai voices the main. I had no idea back then. This chick is just earning brownie points with me left and right.
