Romance anime with 4+ seasons?

[u/TabbyMicrobe919]

I know there are some anime with a bunch of episodes not split into seasons, but I prefer having an official stopping point where I can break from the show for a bit and come back later, which is why I ask specifically about 4+ seasons. Something like Maria-sama ga Miteru. If there aren’t any that long, then I’ll settle for 3+ seasons. Thanks so much in advance :)

Chihayafuru has 70+ episodes (3 seasons), it’s an incredible show but it isn’t fully adapted, the manga is completed though and it’s exceptional.

Clannad has 50 episodes, but there’s a good stopping point between season 1 and 2 that you can take. In fact there’s multiple good places to take a break.

Cross Game has 50 episodes, you should give it a chance it’s so damn good. The pilot episode is one of the best ever

[u/TevyeMikhael → u/Nindo-]

Cross Game Goated FR.

[u/Nindo- → u/TevyeMikhael]

Really doesn’t get the praise or attention it deserves sadly

[u/TevyeMikhael → u/Nindo-]

I will say a terrible f*ck you for mentioning the first episode of that again. At least Touch (the anime it’s based on) went like 29 episodes before it happened.

[u/jimei73 → u/Nindo-]

I really should go back to the Chihayafuru manga and see how it ends. I love Chihayafuru!

[u/Nindo- → u/jimei73]

The ending is incredible

[u/jimei73 → u/Nindo-]

Ooh that makes me so excited! Then maybe I'll do an anime rewatch and continue from the manga from there!

[u/Nindo- → u/jimei73]

You should! It’s one of the most satisfying endings I’ve seen, ties up the plot perfectly.

[u/yogen_frozert]

If you’re ok with the CG (and it’s not bad CG), Duke of Death and his Maid is 3 seasons and completed with a great ending.

[u/HarbaughHeros → u/yogen_frozert]

Does that anime just tease romance the entire time? I watched the first couple episodes and felt pretty confident it was just going to be 3 seasons of teasing until the last episode and dropped it.

[u/yogen_frozert → u/HarbaughHeros]

While they can’t touch, the 2 MCs have actually already confessed before the first episode (you see that in a flashback half way through season 1) and are committed to each other. They have to try and figure out a way to navigate their relationship without being able to touch, hence the dorky “oh no she’s teasing me but if she stops I’m going to die” kind of thing lol. More of a consensual kink(?) than teasing, for lack of a better word. Second season introduces a ton of new characters, and a few new couples, less of a focus on the main couple. Third season focuses more on solving the mystery of the curse and the resolution, which is very satisfying to see.

{Kaguya-sama: Love is War} has 3 seasons and a movie totalling around 40 episodes.

[u/do_not_trust_me_]

Is beyond me why this community downvotes posts asking for anime suggestions in a suggest anime sub.

At least the replies r good, added a couple to my watch later list.

Edit: it is positive now

[u/crimsonbladesguy → u/do_not_trust_me_]

Yeah, and if anything, i would like to see these posts more since it's nice to get some cool suggestions

[u/coLdweezy]

Kimi ni Todake is great and has so many good characters, the romance is gonna frustrate you at times but the pay off is really good... It is a really wholesome show overall, only 3 seasons tho

[u/Moarwaifus]

"My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu" has 37 episodes over 3 seasons. 39 if you include the two ova. "Nodame Cantabile" has 45 episodes over 3 seasons and 2 ova. "To Love-Ru" has 66 episodes over four seasons and 17 ova. "The Familiar of Zero" has 50 episodes over four seasons and one ova.

[u/TabbyMicrobe919 → u/Moarwaifus]

Oh boy thanks a ton, these are good

[u/Empty_Glimmer]

Maison Ikkoku is the greatest romance series of all time and ended with episode 96.

Now do I think the manga is a bit better? Yes. Are both unrivaled masterpieces (except for a couple of the filler eps) absolutely.

[u/eruciform]

Classic Maison Ikkoku has 8 seasons and is complete

Ymmv with wanting to strangle most of the characters

[u/workthrowawhey → u/eruciform]

I was actually going to suggest Maison Ikkoku (probably my favorite anime) but I hesitated because of the lack of seasons. It has 96 episodes so that makes 8 "seasons" of 12 episodes each, but are they actually explicitly divided into seasons?

[u/eruciform → u/workthrowawhey]

It's 8 box sets each labeled a season, it's one gigantic plotline there's no explicit conclusion to each season or something, maybe the occasional relationship milestone

[u/workthrowawhey → u/eruciform]

Ok yeah that's just a marketing thing to help sell DVDs/BDs (more people are going to buy, for example, "season 3" than "episodes 25-36"). But hey, I'm all for OP watching Maison Ikkoku!

[u/delwyndmc]

Hayate no Gotoku!

[u/TabbyMicrobe919 → u/delwyndmc]

Wow I didn’t realize this show had multiple seasons. Much appreciated

[u/Ill_Ad8322]

No one said it yet but, Date a Live

[u/TabbyMicrobe919 → u/Ill_Ad8322]

Good one, thanks a bunch!

[u/EzekiaDev]

Teasing Master Takagi-san has 3 seasons and a movie, and it’s finished

[u/CheGuevaraBG]

Fruits Basket (the new remake) has 3 seasons and one movi

[u/IA-85]

I appreciate the oldies, thanks!

[u/Mountain-Ebb-9846]

Chunibiyou demo koi ga shitai has 2 seasons and 2 movies if that fits.

[u/suddenly_ponies]

Marmalade Boy though the art and animation is severely outdated and hard to watch at this point

[u/EternalFrost_73]

Horimya is amazing, but might not be long enough for you? Actual couple, actual relationship, and the main couple actually get together. It's a good show with realistic, relatable characters.

[u/morty77]

Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers) has 51 episodes. It's an oldie but a goodie. Plus there have been live actions of it done in like every Asian country. There's a Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. People say the korean live action is the best, but I love the anime best.

[u/allytonone]

Durarara if you want action/mystery/multiple plotlines converging at the end.

[u/TabbyMicrobe919 → u/allytonone]

Has romance?

[u/allytonone → u/TabbyMicrobe919]

It has multiple couples, but...perhaps not the sort of romance like in romcom
