    Some of these recommendations aren't really romantic comedies. Just because there's a romantic couple and some funny moments in a show doesn't mean it's entire genre is romantic comedy (ie, Shakugan no Shana. It's moreso action/fantasy from what I've seen)

    Ouran is a definite must. And it is a romantic comedy. Just because there's no real closure doesn't mean that the show wasn't focused on romance.

    Fruits Basket is entertaining to me, but it is pretty cliche. And some of the comedy stuff is forced. But feel free to give it a try. (And don't judge it based off the first episode. It gets more interesting the more you watch it)

    School Rumble is really just plain comedy. No warm fuzzies. I mean, yeah, the plot is centered around who likes who, but it's really just silly shenanigans that spawn from these crushes. But it's still hilarious and definitely worth watching/reading.

    Lovely Complex. I was hoping I could be the first to recommend it, but someone beat me to it. It really does have a nice balance of comedy and romance. Again, it gets much more interesting as the series progresses.

    And the original Full Metal Panic isn't exactly romantic comedy, but you should watch that show anyway. Seriously. Go watch it. Now.

    Shuffle! is pretty funny, IMO.

    Although, FMP Fumoffu is definitely funniest anime that I have ever seen. Lupin III and Excel Saga are also really funny anime, but neither of those anime fall under the romance category .

    School Rumble is awesome. It is mostly comedy, but the romance is what keeps you hooked.

    I can't think of any recent ones. Ah My Goddess is still my standard for that genre. Everything above that falls mainly in another category (action, sitcom, harem, parody).

    Bokura ga Ita is a really good anime. It's one of the best I've seen. It's not to much of a comedy but there's some.

    Suzuka, School Rumble, Love Hina, Kare Kano, Full Moon and Inuyasha are really good too.

    My personal favorite is Full Moon. You can't watch it in English but you can watch the whole series on youtube. It's an anime about a girl who has throat cancer and only has a year left to live. Two shinigami come to her and befriend her for her last year of life. One of them made it where she could become a singer and fulfill her dream so she could find a boy she made a promise to three years ago I think it was. It's a really amazing show.

    Ok it really depends on what your definition of Romantic Comedy is. Cause there are several different types.

    Harem: One guy, many girls. Normally the guy is a complete loser who would not know what to do with a girl. But somehow he ends up being surrounded by lovely girls who all seem to like/love him in some way. Good examples include: Love Hina, Tenchi Muyo (no one mentioned it yet?), and Shuffle.

    Romance: This is a very rare type, cause it is mostly focused on 1 girl and 1 guy. Of course sometimes other factors are involved. The only example I can think of is: Ai Yori Aoshi (it is a "sort of Harem, cause other girls are involved, but the main guy is only really interested in the main girl).

    Comedy: A lot of these types are also in the Harem category, cause most harem have wacky situations (like the guy walks into the bathroom when the girl is naked, and gets knocked silly). Of course then there are shows like: School Rumble, and Welcome to the NHK.

    Action: Some shows have some action involved with a small romantic sub-plot. Mostly shows like: Slayers (which also has comedy), and Negima (even though it could be considered a "Harem" cause pretty much most of the 32! girls in the class "love" Negi in some way, but in the manga, it is quickly becoming a magical version of Dragon Ball Z (but way better IMO)).

    Some other shows that might be worth checking out:

    Maburaho: Very powerful magic-using guy can only use his magic a certain number of times before he dies. Several girls want his DNA to make a powerful witch/wizard.
    Falls into the Harem category, but with a real big twist at the end.

    Magikano: Guy lives with his 3 sisters, who are all witches. He does not know about it. Then another girl enters his life, and soon 2 more girls come into his life. Another Harem anime, again with a twist ending.

    Dual Parallel Trouble Adventure: Guy sees these giant robots attacking his school. Of course no one else sees them. A girl at his school knows about his secret, and soon he is transported to another dimension, where he meets other versions of everybody he knows. Also in the Harem category, and made by the same people who made Tenchi Muyo.

    Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi: Sort of a "growing up" type show, with a romantic undertone (cause Sashi likes Ayumi). Sashi & Ayumi live in Osaka, Ayumi is going to move soon. Sashi is heatbroken over this, but soon a tramatic event changes their lives. Soon they are traveling to weird versions of the Abenobashi Shopping Center. Each episode is a different spoof of several different kinds of shows. Very funny, and kinda sad as well.

    5 CM Per Second: A movie about young love. 3 parts to the movie, and each one deals with 2 young people who liked each other at school, until the girl had to move. Very depressing ending, so be warned.

    Lovely complex

    Vampire Knight(more drama but still comedy in it)

    Special A

    And everyone seems to forget about Hime Chan no Ribbon (reminds me of cardcaptors, innocent romance) It's kind of an old series. It's a magic schoolgirl anime.

    You should really try out the manga. I've never really been able to get into the anime itself, and I almost didn't try out the manga because of it, but the manga gets so much more into the characters, and you learn more of the reason why they act the way that they do.

    Ouran is a good one, as mentioned before, even if its kinda a reverse harem. I've heard that it get's more romantic in the manga, starting towards the end of Volume 9, from the fact that I have volumes 9 and 10.

    Can't think of more ones that I really recomend. I do think that Lovely Complex should be a good one, because I've read the manga and it's very funny and the relationship between Risa and Otani is fun to watch grow.

    Guess I read more romantic comedies than watch them .

    I have got to say that the best romantic comedy anime that i watched so far is Ah! My Goddess!

    It has 2 series out so far, and they most likely will be coming out with a third, according to many sources i looked up last night. The story is terrific and it makes me really happy! But I really want the third series to come out now! Why can't it be December now!

    Other good ones were (from order from greatest):

    - Itazura Na Kiss

    - Bokura Ga Ita

    - Clannad

    - Kanon

    If you want to know more about finding some of these, just message me or something. most of these are on www.juzvideo.com

    Hi! I've recently run into a wall with romantic comedies It's so hard to find one that I like.

    Here are some examples of what I REALLY liked (in order):
    -Nodame Cantabile (music + no love triangles= awesome)
    -Ouran no host club (funny and make me smile all throughout cause it was so cute! No annoying girls throwing themselves on guys)
    -Itazura Na Kiss (Thanks Silverace98!)
    -Special A (No love triangles!! woot! comical)
    -REC (it was soo short -_- but I really like the "you're the only one for me" thing ^^)
    -Lovely Complex (Sweet ^^)
    -Onegai Teacher (didn't like the drawing.. but the story made up for it)
    -Shakugan No Shana (Don't really think this is romance though)
    -Tsubasa season 1 (Didn't really think this was romance either)

    Ok ones:
    -Fruits Basket (only because the manga was so much better lol)
    -the one with the magical violin.. dont remember the title sorry

    Here's what I didn't really like:
    -Bokura Ga Ita (the ending ruined it.. omg)
    -Kanon, Air, Sola etc (I don't like sad endings, and the drawing technique is not my taste)
    -Zero no tsukaima (she gets on my nerves..)
    -I love you Baby (drawing and voices)
    -Kare Kano (wayyyyy toooo emooo later on)
    -School Rumble (didn't have enough fuzzy moments lol)
    -Tsubasa season 2 (things started getting too complicated)

    Lol, I guess I'm looking for something that isn't too deep, not harem, funny, nice art (no Ranma ****or Kanon ****plz)..
    Something light and happy lol and simple but REAL one on one romance going on = fuzzy moments.
    And it should end well. No "omg are they together or what?!?!!" or "omg I can't believe they all died" lol.

    Sorry if this is too much info.. but it's so hard to find one that I like these days Thanks in advance!!
