School Rumble

Genre: Romance, comedy, school life

Episodes: 26 episodes in first and second season

Manga: 22 volumes, status completed

Summary:

School Rumble is a romantic shōnen comedy revolving around the daily lives of the students of Class 2-C at the fictional Yagami High School, along with their friends and families. The main female protagonist is Tenma Tsukamoto, an unremarkable second-year high school student[2] who secretly admires her eccentric, enigmatic, nice-guy classmate, Oji Karasuma. Tenma struggles to confess her feelings to Oji. He remains oblivious to her interest, instead seeking fulfillment by indulging in curry. The main male protagonist, delinquent Kenji Harima, similarly yearns for Tenma, attending school solely to be near her. Like Tenma, Harima has difficulty declaring his love, and whenever he summons the courage to do so, circumstances conspire against him.

Own opinion:

School rumble!! Its a very funny anime. I remember watching this on T.V. its a very funny and romantic show. Its not your typical love trianle or love square or love pentagon... I was really surprised with the ending of this anime. I never thought that they will be together. You want to know who? Nope I'm not going to tell you because I want you to watch it. Its a great ROMCOM show :)

When high school student Tohru Honda's mother dies in a car crash on her way to work in the parking lot, she decides to live with her grandfather.

Own opinion:

Fruits Basket, I'm sure for Reverse-harem lovers you know this show. This show is one of the old anime that is still popular among this days. It is really a good show with a very unique plot. The anime was a really cliffhanger so I advised you to read the manga. But! There are lots of surprises in the manga so preapre your selves. :)

Fushigi Yugi

Genre: Action, drama, romance, reverse-harem

Episodes: 52 episodes

Summary:

The series describes the various trials of Miaka Yūki and Yui Hongo, two Middle-school students. While at the library one day, Miaka and Yui encounter a strange book known as The Universe of the Four Gods. Reading this book transports them into the novel's universe in ancient China. Yui is transported back to the real world almost immediately, but Miaka finds herself the Priestess of Suzaku. Miaka is destined to gather the seven Celestial Warriors of the god Suzaku in order to summon Suzaku and obtain three wishes.

Own opinion:

Before I start I just want to say that this is not Akatsuki no Yona. Yep its similar with the seven celestial warriors but still its different. For an action genre lover and reverse harem lover then this show is really for you! the romance is cute. The action is awesome. Its truly a great show.

Flame of Recca

Genre: Adventure, Action, Fantasy, Romance, Comedy

Episodes: 42 episodes

Manga: 33 volumes, status completed

Summary:

Flame of Recca follows the story of a teenage boy named Recca Hanabishi, who is interested in ninja and claims to be one himself. He often gets into fights because he made it publicly known that the person who manages to defeat him will earn his services as a loyal ninja. Despite this, he eventually pledges his loyalty and services as a ninja to Yanagi Sakoshita, a girl with the innate ability to heal any wound/injury, because of her kindness and compassion. Recca soon discovers that he possesses the innate ability to control/manipulate flames, and eventually learns that he is actually the son of the sixth generation leader of the Hokage, a ninja clan that was wiped out by Oda Nobunaga in 1576, roughly 400 years before the series' present day.

Own opinion:

Flame of Recca is not that old but still for 90's kid like me its now very old. Some of the kids this days haven't watched this show. I really recommend this anime because of its amazing action. Is it the typical action anime? My answer is nope. This show is really unique with its amazing fantasy-action genre with some little romance. I don't want to spoil you so you better just watch it.
