It's a Harem, not a real romance. Right from the start, we already have two females aiming for the protagonist, and the other girls of the series (manga AND anime) just fall in love at first sight or so.
I think Anime United has been infected with KissxSis fanboy'ism.
kinos journey, i reccomend it. Its good, not like trashy japanese high school slice of pretend life good, but actually well written and has an interesting plot and protagonist kind of good.
I recommended Katekyo Hitman Reborn to all. It starts off slow but it really starts to pick up around episode 34 (atleast for me it did) and it's a 203~ episode anime. Really good.
I recommend AnoHana. It's an anime that focuses on how the past affects people (kind of), friendships, bonds, and the plot is executed in a way that isn't rushed or stretched out.
