These are H&E series I'd categorize as "Progressive."

This doesn't indicate quality, originality, or anything sociopolitical so much as being H&E series that have priorities which radically depart from traditional H&E priorities. They could do anything from use some wacky narrative structure to implementing ecchi in some way to focusing more heavily on the MC relative to the harem. Things that go outside of the priorities stated in the traditionalist stack, and either in ways that are far too pronounced to be considered moderate, departing from tradition far too often to be considered moderate, or both.

I'm not saying these series don't tend to appeal to H&E fans, or might appeal more to people who don't typically like H&E. I'm saying that these are the series that don't adhere to traditional sensibilities within the genre, for better or for worse.

Have you ever wanted to get into the Girlfriend series but didn't know which order to watch it in?
well, I've taken the liberty of ordering them for you chronologically! Watch as all the stories slowly connect! Enjoy the Girlfriend series!




Disclaimer: This is obviously a joke. The "Girlfriend" series does not exist. I just wanted to put a bunch of shows with "girlfriend" in the name into one stack so me and others could watch them. (Watch as the shows slowly decline. this is gonna be great! Hope you end up finding a show you like!)

A stack of heroine with glasses in anime for those who love glasses.

Comedy Anime With Great Well Written Characters...

Thank you user for the idea. But I feel you got the saga wrong. Let me help you add to it. (also in canon order)

Denpa as a genre usually refers to Japanese artistic works with themes associated with social isolation, existentialism, insanity that stems from living modern society, and the glorification of otaku/outsider cultures. Examples of denpa in other mediums include the films of Hideaki Anno (Love and Pop, Ritual) and the films of Shunji Iwai (All About Lily Chou-Chou), as well as the visual novel Wonderful Everyday Down the Rabbit-hole.

For more about denpa, check out this excellent blogpost about the genre: https://ontheones.wordpress.com/2019/06/29/on-denpa-a-guest-article-by-kenji-the-engi/

The romance as a genre in it's typical sense, is a hit or miss for most of us, and this is understandable. Each of us has different outlook on life, our experience had shaped our personalities by particular ways and the way we comprehend the fragile and gentle feelings of affection within ourselves is something very personal.

But then again some stories, despite not having entirely romantic focus, can portray relationships in dynamic sense and with appropriate narrative depth. Series like these rarely gets the spotlight for this reason and are oftenly skipped by people who're usually interested solely in the romance aspect of the plots, which is one of the reasons this collection was made - as a showcase of various well written and emotionally expressive bonds of love.

The mentioned works are with broad range of genres, themes and moods, but in each of them one can find a well handled hint of, if not well explored, romance. As well as that, some romances that are breaking the mold of the usual adaptations are included, since they're rarely well explored within the medium and deserve our attention.

This is the second part of the stack I created which includes all romcom anime I had hunted. Well, 50 entries maximum is not enough to include all romcom anime I know so if you are interested to see what entries are in part 1 you can visit my account and see my created "interest stacks" for the 1st part of this stack. All hail the romcom god!

anime featuring weird girls who have a prominent role in the series in which they appear

Animes where an ordinary guy meets a special girl who changes her day. the new romcom formula

No open end (to some extent, in some)
No harem, bl or gl
No ecchi (or slightly in some)
*They are tagged as romance genre or romantic subtext theme, the degree of romance content varies and some blooms in sequels which will require patience.
!After completing the anime it's recommended checking out the sequels, movies and/or source materials, if they have those, to confirm couples getting together and/or for further developments.
*Please do specified research before giving your time to watch.
The list is full but replacements with better quality new animes will happen, therefore it's suggested getting the ones you consider watching on your list.

Anime with both comedy and romance, usually romantic banter or some type of rivalry... and of course tsunderes.

My favourite romance anime

A list of anime containing ecchi elements, but are not tagged as ecchi by MAL. While the ecchi content may not be as prevalent or extreme as officially-tagged ecchi titles, there is still enough to be of interest to fans of the ecchi genre. Many of these register at least 1.5/3 stars on AniDB's "tag-weighting" system for ecchi.
Conversely, those who don't care for ecchi may wish to use this stack for cautionary purposes, as these titles may contain things like pantyshots, revealing outfits, incestuous overtones, oversized/jiggling breasts, swimsuit/lingerie moments, extended bath/shower scenes, lewd dream/fantasy sequences, innuendo, or general fanservice in an otherwise serious/"respectable" show.
Only the first seasons of franchises are listed. Some titles may (eventually) have additional details explaining why I've placed them on the list.
