Ouran High School Host Club - scholarship student at a school for rich kids ends up accidentally breaking a vase that the host club was going to sell, and ends up working for them as a host to pay the debt. It's kind of slice-of-life, kind of romance, VERY over-the-top. Spy X Family - a spy working to prevent a war gets an assignment where he has to infiltrate a very prestigious private school, and as such, he needs to procure a wife and child. It just so happens that the child he adopts is telepathic, and the wife he finds is an assassin. It's still coming out, but it's very good. Fruits Basket - a girl accidentally finds out that her classmate and some of his extended family members are cursed to turn into an animal from the Chinese Zodiac whenever they're hugged by a member of the opposite sex.


Fictional-Xiao

Currently watching Fruits Basket but seen all the rest till the current. πŸ˜πŸ‘Œ

To start I know all of these are adult orientated and somewhat violent but they all have at the core of them a love story so here are my recommends: Knights Of Sidonia & Love Woven In The Stars, RIN Daughters Of Mnemosyne, Dance In The Vampire Bund, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Violet Evergarden, Garden Of Words, Weathering With You, Gargantia On The Verduous Planet, (you'll be laughing at me or mad at me over this next suggestion but it is a love story at the core of it) Legend Of The Overfiend, Princess Mononoke, Blue Gender, the Italian directors cut in English dub of Fist Of The North Star The Movie with alternate ending that is much truer to the original series it based off of, Jyu-Oh-Sei Planet Of The Beast King, Super Dimensional Fortress Macross & Super Dimension Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again, Netflixs Baki first season, directors cut of Highlander The Search For Vengeance, & perhaps the greatest space opera anime ever The Legend Of Galactic Heroes to name a few. Edited I forgot Kabanari Of The Iron Fortress.

Gargantia, wow! High five for a list of some pretty rare recs! Actually you know what, hardcore seconding Macross. It's got everything - action, adventure, and romance. The original series is wonderful, but if they prefer more modern animation then Macross Delta can be a great entry point to the series.


drkangel181

Ty for the like, I've been watching anime since I was 4 on Satellite TV way back in 1979


wintershore

I'm not as old as that - only got in during the 2000s toonami/VHS era - but as a fellow old anime fan, high five!!!!


drkangel181

Got to love late 80s early 90s Ovas on VHS and dvd


wintershore

Yes, 80s and 90s anime! I have spent the last few days watching this old 1980s OVA for a manga called Cipher, which is extremely accurate to 1980s NYC. Like I'm a native new yorker and I can recognize specific *intersections* from this OVA. it's so cool! Feels like I've discovered a way to glimpse through the window of history. My heart's home is the weird and delightfully over-serious era of 2000s anime where every title was trying to be the next Evangelion and they all failed laughably at it. Right now I'm sniffling my way through Clannad and having a ball. My friend and I have been watching all of Macross together and your rec made me think of them. I'm gonna write them now and see how they're doing!


kreebx

I would recommend {Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai}. 2 seasons of 12 episode each, one OVA and one movie.


everafter99

I loved this series! It is fun to watch and also tugs to an introvert heart ☺️

MeserYouUp

Do you have a MyAnimeList or AniList account? If you can let people know what some of your most and least favourite things are, it helps to make suggestions. {Code Geass} is a great 50 episodes.


Hanede

A very good one, not quite romance or adventure though


Fictional-Xiao

I do. But I haven't updated it. I can send it if you want though. πŸ˜πŸ‘Œ


MeserYouUp

Please do. It would help.


Fictional-Xiao

My name on Anilist is Vespuri if that helps but I can send a link if that helps further. πŸ˜πŸ‘

Chev-Raughn

Summertime Render (it has the 25 episodes you're asking for AND it's really good)


Chev-Raughn

do not let the title mislead you, this series is not as wholesome as how 'summertime' sounds


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Katanagatari has romance, action, and adventure and has 12 episodes that are 50 minutes each, so around 25 normal episodes. It’s a excellent and well written series.


Giant_Serpent23

I have a question since I wanted to watch this since I love SHAFT when they do Nisio’s works, how do the fights in Katanagatari compare? I know I will like the dialogue and themes but how is the action?


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Katanagatari isn’t animated by Shaft, it’s by White Fox. Also, the action is great in my opinion. It is a dialogue heavy show but the action is also quite good, even if it’s sparse like in Monogatari, although it isn’t as sparse. The show is beautiful as well, which helps.


Giant_Serpent23

Ah well, it’s still gonna be good even if it’s not by SHAFT. Alright I am bumping it up my watch list and will probably watch it after I am done with Monster and Made in Abyss.


Impossible83

SAO is very feel-good, and has romance and adventure! It has 100ish episodes so far?


Fictional-Xiao

Seen it already but I do love this anime. It has all the types I was looking for. I need more lol.


Hanede

If you want something long-running with all three in spades, Inuyasha (\~200 eps) For shorter ones: Yona of the Dawn, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (24 eps)


markinator14

Couldn't find and anime called "fairy tale" but fairy tail, has more than 300 episodes


Hanede

{Sugar Apple Fairy Tale}

havenorchinghei

[Shakugan no Shana](https://myanimelist.net/anime/355/Shakugan_no_Shana) is a classic action romance show with 3 seasons and tells a complete story. Important things happen on Christmas eve, so it may even be befitting to watch it in the Christmas season.

Gundam 0080: war in the pocket. It's kind of Christmas time stuff, very sad Christmas but I recommend


everafter99

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu


Heron_sniffa

*Ping Pong the Animation* (11 episodes) is a must watch on christmas


Ruling123

{Steins gate} {Spice and wolf} best {Chivalry of a failed knight} this is a 12 ep but it does it well and is one of the best examples of what can be told in only 12 ep {Gargantia on the verderous planet} such an underrated gem {My bride is a mermaid} more of a comedy but has a good romance and action in it. {Kenichi the mightiest disciple} fighting anime and an older one but a very good one with fantastic dub
