Suggestions?

I'm very picky about the type of anime I watch. Normally, if the first two episodes seem boring, I just can't seem to tune into it. I don't like series that last a lot longer than they should (ie Bleach) but nothing too short..

Do you guys have any suggestions for an anime that I could watch that is like Skip Beat, Chibi Vampire, Vampire Knight, Fushigi Yuugi, etc.? I really like romantic comedy with amazing artwork.

Thanksssss<3

Since you liked Fushigi Yuugi I highly recommend ‘The Story of Saiunkoku’ (Fushigi Yuugi is my ultimate favorite and The Story of Saiunkoku comes in as a close second as my ultimate favorite.)

Other series I recommend are:

Ouran High School Host Club
Kyo Kara Maoh
Super GALS
Rurouni Kenshin

My suggestions would be
Lovely Complex (art is kinda 'manga look')
Nodame Cantabile (3 seasons)
Special A
The Wallflower
Toradora (not as shoujo as some of these but terrific romance/comedy)
kimi ni todoke
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (is short but very good and packs a lot into each episode)
Itazura na Kiss (most complete romance in anime history i think )
Midori no Hibi
Mahoraba Heartful Days

If you want a lil more laughs, with a bit of romance, try Working!! too

If you want amazing artwork at the cost of some comedy, try Winter Sonata. Korean animation ftw

While Zero no Tsukaima doesn't really have any great artwork (pretty average, really) it does have a great romcom vibe.

Have you seen the first two volumes of the Tenchi Muyo! OAV? That's got to be one of my personal favorites with romantic comedy.

Clannad has a great mix of comedy, romance & stunning animation. Kanon 2006 is similar and I prefer it the most out of the Key shows but it does have a little less romance.

Jun Maeda must have an ultimate purpose for all the tears he jerks out of his viewers in all of his shows. He must be making a an inland salt water lake or something.

As much as I love Kanon and Kurau: Phantom Memory…they are too much on the drama side...(Kanon is just so depressing at times...however the artwork is beautiful.)

A few more:

Midori Days
