In the mood of Valentine's day, let's share our favorite romance animes that melt our hearts
I'd start with Kimi ni Todoke.
Kazehaya and Sawako's love is so pure and innocent that it's almost childish. Brings me memories of my teenage years.
What is your favorite?

Just gonna admit that I don't watch many romance anime. But I've seen a few.
One that I can wholeheartedly recommend is Asago to Kase-san. I love it so much. It is only a 1 hour OVA, but it's sweet as hell (and there is a whole manga about them if you are interested. Another good yuri anime is Yagate Kimi ni Naru. This one is a proper show (13 eps) and again, you can read the manga to get the rest of the story.
As for non-yuri romance anime, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai and Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen (what's up long names lmao) are great.

I am also a huge fan of Kimi ni Todoke! It's actually one of the very first romance anime I watched and it really left an impression (so much I had to buy the manga ). Kazehaya and Sawako's relationship is just so pure, I loved watching them grow both individually and as a couple.
If I had to pick one right now, I think I'd go with Violet Evergarden (especially the most recent movie, a must watch imo!). Everything about it is completely phenomenal to be honest. The story is great and poignant, the visuals are breathtaking and the soundtrack is simply outstanding! It didn't take long before I felt emotionally attached to the main character and I really enjoyed following her through her journey of self-discovery. It's definitely not your typical romance anime, but to me it's hands down the most beautiful and emotional one!

Your Name! I love love loveee the animation and artwork through out the entire movie. It may not be a series but I can't help but love the relationship between Taki and Mitsuha
*that's rough buddy*

In regards to both the Anime and Manga - Nisekoi! I often go back and re-read it but the characters are just super cute and I love it to death.
Komi Can't Communicate is also a good one. I've been trying to get into it recently, but a lot of characters are turn offs for me personality wise. So I've been reading painfully slow or skipping chapters and urgh. I am probably gonna have to drop and come back with a fresh mind on this one.
Just commented this in the anime you recently watched thread... but Fruits Basket. It deals with romantic love, familial love, and platonic love really well.

Romance isn't its main genre over fantasy/action, but Yona of the Dawn. It's one of my top favorite animes in general, if not my absolute favorite. It's got a love triangle, sort of, but handled in such a refreshing way between the characters. There's a flashback episode early on to when the three main characters were younger and there's a scene that absolutely steals my heart. If anyone else has seen it, the scene when Hak is sulking after arguing with Yona and their next interaction. Forever rooting for those two idiots to get married oh my god
For more comedy and overtly romance, Peach Girl is so over the top and melodramatic and cliched and ridiculous but I love it. A bit of a spoiler but

Ahhh I still have Violet in my pending-must-see list. Have heard so good reviews from ppl I'm just terrible at procrastinating
Back to the topic. I'm not sure if it would be considered like 'romantic' but I really enjoyed seeing both EF A tale of Memories and a Tale of Melodies (loved both openings and animation though plot may get heavy or dramatic so not sure if classifies here).
I also remember seeing RomeoxJuliet anime, long and sweet with a bit of fantasy/mythology maybe??
Another one I saw but still missing almost all chapters (damn procrastination!) is The Ancient Magu's Bridge.
Those are the ones coming to my mind rn.

Stop no because this one made me BAWL MY FRICKIN EYES OUT. I’ve watched it probably three or four times now. The story and the animation is so beautiful.
Also how did I miss this thread?! This is perfect for more romance anime recommendations!
I also have to agree with Kimi Ni Todoke. I read the manga in high school. I wish there was an anime adaption of Sand Chronicles. That is also about romance and emotions in general. I’ve mentioned it before but it has stuck with me for years!
