The 300 best-scored of the 1377 romance anime with a page here, ranked by the median score the listing sites give them (every one scores 6.5 or better). Type, episodes and total hours on every row, so the two of you can see what fits tonight before you argue about it.
Romance is the list to open when one of you says anything but another fight scene. Kaguya-sama and Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu are comedies first; Your Name and A Silent Voice are single films; Clannad: After Story and Violet Evergarden are the ones to save for a night you are both ready for something sad.
