If you don't mind drama and a serious romance story, try Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The first two episodes are somewhat uninteresting, but once you get past that, the plotline strengthens immensely. From there's a dangerous love triangle, many exciting twists and turns along the way, tear-jerker scenes in which you can't help but sympathize with the main characters, and bits of comedy relief scattered among the serious romance-driven plotline. The animation and character designs are both pretty good, and I don't recall seeing any glasses either (maybe in a minor character that doesn't serve much importance). There are some sex scenes, but they aren't very graphic and are short enough to not detract from the overall storyline. In fact, in a way, it even enhances the storyline, since sex leads to some of the problems throughout the series. The main characters are also out of high school already during the main part of the series (except for the little sister). The series as a whole is not light-hearted like Love Hina or Amaenaideyo! though; it most closely resembles the latter episodes of Shuffle!, if you've gotten there already.

A short, 6-episode series somewhat like KimiNozo is Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. It is a sweet, serious romance story involving two patients in a hospital. Doesn't sound very exciting, but the main female lead doesn't act like an ill person at all; she's pretty energetic and full of life. Character designs are pretty good (more "chibi" than KimiNozo) and animation isn't bad, and the background music is pretty good as well, giving the series a nice "relaxed" feel throughout. Many of the characters are also quite interesting in what they do when they're in desperation. Overall, a solid romance story backed up by a strong plot and characters.

Even shorter than Hantsuki is REC, and it is much more light hearted the the other two. It is about a female seiyuu who meets an ordinary company employee, and as the seiyuu slowly rises to stardom, her relationship with the main male lead, Matsumaru, develops as well. Like KimiNozo, the characters are long out of high school already. Good animation, good character designs, and the main female lead is so eccentric and full of life that you can't help but squeal in delight (I did anyway). It's only nine 12-minute episodes, but it is still a fine watch with a solid plot.

Mai-HiME actually takes place in a high school (yay!), and it is an action-driven series with some romance (much like Shakugan no Shana). The animation is good, character designs are really good, and the soundtrack is just brilliant. The plotline moves slow in the first half of the series, but the second half gets so exciting that you can't help but finish all of it in one go after Episode 16. There is a very large cast, and all of the characters receive fair amounts of character development, especially toward the second half of the series. The first half is light-hearted and comedical, and the second half is much darker in tone and features more action. The main character is female though, so you might be seeing the romance from a different perspective.

and I forget who it was... but the best description I heard of Shana herself is: "moelicious"

I think an anime named Bible Black could meet all your needs for love and romance.

Complete with all the blood and futa.

hey! It's about tendership and passionate love after all, iznit?

I am just starting on Honey and Clover, but I think this title would definitely qualify for shojo/romance. I haven't gotten too far into it yet, but I have heard only good things about it so far.
