| Canvas 2 - Niji Iro no Sketch (TV) |
Very good |
Ah, gotta love those epic osananajimi vs imouto battles. |
| Clannad (TV) |
Masterpiece |
So now we know that KEY can make us cry AND give us that satisfying heartwarming feeling that only a good shoujo romance should. Of course, that's not to say that the show was lacking in drama or moe or anything. Nagisa <3 |
| Comic Party (TV) |
Very good |
|
| Comic Party Revolution (OAV) |
Good |
|
| Comic Party Special (OAV) |
Excellent |

| Comic Party: Revolution (TV) |
Good |

| D.C. II: Da Capo II (TV) |
Very good |
|
| D.C. ~Da Capo~ (TV) |
Very good |
|
| D.C.S.S. ~Da Capo Second Season~ (TV) |
Very good |
|
| ef: a tale of memories (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Finally, an anime that covers both the tragic KEY-style relationships AND a bittersweet love triangle; and does both so well that it you wonder how it was even possible. |
| Final Examination Kujira (ONA) |
So-so |
Watching this show is like watching a really interesting PowerPoint preview of something you're looking forward to - you get clips here and there of a potentially good VN, but in the end, it's little more than a trailer. |
| Gift - eternal rainbow (TV) |
Very good |
Curse you yandere and your character-ruining plot twists >_> |
| H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ (TV) |
Very good |
While it didn't "rock my soul" like a certain infamous trailer claimed, H2O is definitely a solid series, and a lot less predictable than it first appears. You know something's odd when the main girl's arc apparently ends just over half way through >_> |
| Higurashi no Naku Koroni Gaiden Nekogoroshi-hen (OAV) |
Very good |
|
| Kanon (TV 2/2006) |
Masterpiece |
A true classic in the world of VN adaptations, and I daresay KEY's finest. Now if only they would allow the english patch of the game to be released... uguu~ |
| Kimikiss pure rouge (TV) |
Excellent |
Kouichi, I'm sorry, but you're an idiot. You'd get a lot worse than that if I wasn't afraid of spoiling everyone reading this <_< |
| Lamune (TV) |
Good |
|
| Myself; Yourself (TV) |
Very good |
It's an 8/10 for creativeness and the odd WTF moment, not for romance or drama. |
| Nanatsuiro Drops (TV) |
Good |
|
| Rumbling Hearts (TV) |
Excellent |
Excellent romance, probably Masterpiece-worthy if it weren't for ef. |
| School Days (TV) |
Excellent |
It's...unique. I'll leave it at that. If you think all dating-sim adaptations are shallow romance and dull character development, Makoto Ito will give you a different idea...and probably a worse one. |
| Shuffle! (TV) |
Very good |
Considering the popularity of the game, my expectations were high; thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. The characters were all likeable, there wasn't too much fanservice (er...scratch that), and each arc was adequately covered. Now, if only we could do something about Kaede-chan's..."personality"... |
| _Summer (OAV) |
Decent |
|
| To Heart (TV) |
Decent |
Meh, bottom of the genre if you ask me. Maybe the games are better...maybe. |
| ToHeart - Remember my memories (TV) |
Very good |
|
| ToHeart2 (TV) |
Decent |
|
| ToHeart2 (OAV) |
Very good |
|
| True Tears (TV) |
Excellent |
A brilliant piece of art on par with the greatest VN romances ever made (I'm looking at you, KimiNozo), True Tears provides a ridiculously cruel love web and attempts to solve it. The results are, as you can probably gather, incredible. |
| When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) |
Excellent |
If any of you are browsing this list in search of happy school life/romance shows with beautiful girls, I advise you to look elsewhere...before it's too late. |
| When They Cry - Kai (TV) |
Excellent |
