Any recommendations of romantic anime?

[RedValkyria]

As the tittle says, I am in search for a romantic anime, preferably with some action or comedy in it. If it is a common suggestion that you ware about to make, you can scrap it, the likelihood of me seeing it is very high. Here's a list of shows I really liked:

- Clannad (manly tears!)
- AnoHana (some more manly tears!)
- PlanetES (best sci fi I ever saw)
- Wakfu (Not really anime, but still genius)
- Ef A tale of Memories (this is not anime, this is art!)

If you could please stay away from ecchi I would appreciate it, I don't enjoy watching melons bouncing all over the place. And Harems are all right if the main character picks 1 girl (like Shuffle).
And please NO YAOI or YURI.
Also, please let there be a kiss in the end, just to confirm that the two are together.
Forgot to mention that I am a DUDE and a lot of shoujo series get on my nerves. The perfect boy this, the perfect boy that. Shoujo is okay to recommend, but I tend to prefer Seinen.

Rurouni Kenshin (lots of action, some romance and deff funny)
Ouran High School Host Club (Tamaki the main guy is totally funny)
Fruits Basket (I know a guy who really likes this bc it is so funny so you might too)

these are all the funny, romance anime i can think of. i know a lot more that are mangas but they dont have animes as of yet

Mahoromatic - Killer android with tragic backstory is a maid and wants bigger boobies. Boobies warning.
Please Teacher! - You're married to your alien teacher. No problem, obviously.
Ah! My Goddess - A guy is offered a wish by a goddess. 2 seasons on http://hulu.com/ (first episode slow due to character development)
My Bride is a Mermaid - You'll know it's not a "The Little Mermaid" retelling when the yakuza show up, with the zany nearby.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - High school girl is a god. Subtle romance.
Kamichu! - Middle school girl becomes a god. As much romance as there should be in middle school.

What is good really depends upon what you like. Explore and discover what it is that you like.

There are a number of places with assorted anime. Crunchyroll.com features subtitled stuff, including some brand new shows. AnimeNewsNetwork.com points out more things. But I suggest you start with Hulu.com because of there are popular dubbed shows there (although it's getting crowded with 4-episode samplers).

Go over to Hulu.com and look in Genre > Anime. You'll find an assortment of stuff.

First, register for a free Hulu account. This will let you add things which might be of interest to a Queue (list).

Then go browsing. Try an episode or two of things which seem slightly interesting. Keep in mind that sometimes the first episode is different than the rest of the show ("Ah! My Goddess" focuses on one character in the first episode, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" shows a student movie, "My Bride is a Mermaid" starts looking like a "The Little Mermaid" remake until the yakuza show up just ahead of the zany).

If you find something that you like, look it up on places like the http://AnimeNetworkNews.com/ encyclopedia, so you learn how to describe what you like as magical girl, fantasy, or mecha. Places like http://anime-planet.com/ have recommendations for similar shows.

You'll probably find at least a half-dozen things of interest on Hulu.com and you can explore further with related things. Some shows may seem kind of interesting, such as maybe a romantic comedy (romcom) where the characters or situation don't quite appeal to you, but that might lead you to explore similar shows until you find a mix which is more interesting to you.
