wakobi Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hey it's that time again to start buying presents and my girlfriend decides she wants a funny, romantic anime. I have absolutely have no idea what to look for whatsoever, since it's not my preferred genre. Do you guys have any ideas? ANY input whatsoever will be appreciated!

Anubis Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) His and Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano) (box set on sale this week for 40 bucks at right stuf) Ah/Oh My Goddess OVA and Movie Ai Yori Aoshi (original + Enishi) Chobits Please Teacher/Please Twins Saikano (She the ultimate weapon) Kimagure Orange Road (48 episodes+ova's and movie, so pretty long) Fushigi Yugi (52 episodes + ova's=very long as well) Maison Ikkoku (really really long) all I can think of right now. More actual romantic elements than say Love Hina or a romantic comedy/harem comedy of that vein. Edited November 15, 2004 by Anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seto Kaiba Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hmmm... funny and romantic? Perhaps Love Hina, Saber Marionette J and Full Metal Panic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob joe mac Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 For Funny and romantic but not stupid herum kare kano (26 eps) Fushigi Yuugi (52 OVAs are dumb dont bother unless you become addicted and want something to destroy the show for you ) For damn good and serious Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I'll second the recommendations of Kimagure Orange Road and Maison Ikkoku. I remember not being very enamored of Ah! My Goddess, though all I really remember was that it was vaguely like an update of Urusei Yatsura. For very silly semi-romantic stuff, UY and Ranma 1/2 might be options. Another possibility might be "Ocean Waves"/"I can hear the sea"...oops, I don't remember it as especially funny. http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/video/umi/ for DVD releases (only R2 and R3 so far).

wakobi Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Cool Devices and Bible Black..she'll love ya for those... Man if ya knew her, she probably would! But thanks guys for all the input, it helped me BIG TIME and I made a purchase as a result. In the end I bought the His and Her Circumstances boxset, which appears to have gotten rave reviews everywhere. So thanks guys for pullin' together for me in my hour of need! *sniff* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent ONE Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 The Professional: Golgo13Everything I know about romance I learned from that movie. You've actually seen that movie!? I think you would have trouble finding 20 people in the US that have seen that movie. It is so awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearyaks Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Would a movie work? Millenium Actress was pretty good and heavy on the concept of romance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have trouble finding 20 people in the US that have seen that movie. It is so awesome though. count me as one of the 20 back to the movies at hand.... recommend Steel Angel Kurumi series one with encore, Cutey Honey, Ranma 1/2 and Urutsukodoji.
