rekisinaJul 23, 20269 replies113 viewsI've just completed Blue Box and honestly, it didn't meet my expectations. I feel like every romance anime I've watched after golden time just didn't seem good enough. So right now I'm trying to find an anime as good as golden time or better.

toradora is a must watch extremely good
oh man i do like some real good romance animes
Toradora! my favourite anime of all time, same author as Golden Time iirc, and also same studio that did the animes
https://anilist.co/anime/4224/Toradora/
Nagiasu - a fantastic original romance anime, set in an incredible fantastical world, so pretty yet so melancholic in a way too, and absolutely BEAUTIFUL art, as expected of PAWorks
https://anilist.co/anime/16067/A-Lull-in-the-Sea/
Takagi-san - imagine Tom and Jerry, but its a romcom SoL anime, its cute, wholesome, fun and incredibly heartwarming

Sakurasou - id say this is the one closest to Toradora on how it feels, and yes its incredible, not just the romance stuff but their own journeys with their artistic goals too and man i really need to rewatch this one

Kokoro Connect - some god thingy interferes with some highschoolers, comedy and drama ensues,
https://anilist.co/anime/11887/Kokoro-Connect/
the anime is incomplete due to reasons and so i will HIGHLY recommend also reading the LNs if you watched this and really liked it

Highscore Girl - incredibly UNDERRATED absolute HIDDEN GEM of an anime, i really wish more people knew about this one, yes the CGI artstyle can be jarring but come on, the anime is about video games and so id argue that the CGI style is just perfect for this

Chuunibyou - my recommendation for a Post Toradora Depression Syndrome cure

100 Girlfriends - a harem anime thats actually GOOD??
Personally, I enjoy romance anime that strike the right balance—nothing rushed, but also not 400 episodes of pointless back-and-forth:

i felt similarly about blue box, i didnt hate it by any means but it didnt fully grab me either. i haven't seen golden time but this show is one of my personal fave romances that imo got pretty overlooked: https://anilist.co/anime/143653
it's about two students that suffer from insomnia. they bond over their shared struggle, and they both start to get into astral photography as a late-night hobby.
Tonikawa: Over the Moon for You is good and so is Sword Art Online
i would recommend you to watch i made friends with second prettiest girl in my class (it was peak) and i also recommend you and i are polar opposites if you lke romance with comedy
