What is a good dramatic anime that is very intense?

What's a good dramatic romance anime? Preferably with love triangles or other shapes...?

• I've always loved animes like Fruits Basket, because I find the old way of drawing anime difficult to watch and understand. I'm looking for an anime with lots of drama and romance, especially love triangles!

I love romantic anime. All of the following are romantic animes. The ones with the most *'s are the best. I put them in order from the least amount of *’s to the most. **Maburaho** This anime is a harem which means it is about a guy who lots of girls like. It is funny, but not very romantic. I watched the anime expecting something very romantic to happen to just one girl and only one of the girls, but nothing did. There are 24 episodes. ***Tokyo Mew Mew*** This series is about a girl who has her DNA infused with a cat. This anime is about her love, her friends, and how she has to protect Earth. There are 52 episodes. ***Onegai Twins*** This anime is about two girls and a guy. The two girls want to know who their parents are and the only clue they have is a picture of this house that the boy owns. This story is about the events they go through to find out who they are and how they fall in love. There are 12 episodes. ***La Corda D’oro*** This anime is about a girl who gets a magic violin. There are about five guys who like her and the anime is all about her (and the guys) playing their instruments at this contest. I was a little disappointed because no one ever really confessed their love and nothing actually romantic happened (like kissing). There are 26 episodes. ***Ultra Maniac*** This is about a girl who uses magic and her good friend. It is about the girl trying to win this competition to be the wife of this magic prince. The girl is really in love with this boy from her school. It is also about her best friend being in love with this other guy. There are 26 episodes. ***Da Capo*** This is about a girl who is adopted into this family and she is in love with her brother. There are 2 seasons with 26 episodes in each one. ***Kamisama Kazoku*** This anime is about god’s son named Samatarou. There is a girl who is an angel that is always with him and she loves him but he likes a new popular girl at school. Samatarou’s mother is Venus and his sisters are both goddess candidates. There are 13 episodes. ***Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne*** This one is about a high school girl who is a thief that steals art usually because it is made/possessed by a spirit of the devil aka demon. It is about how she meets another thief and falls in love with him. There are 44 episodes. ***DN Angel*** This is about a boy who has a famous thief named Dark who is basically appart of him. Whenever the boy looks into a picture of a certain girl he transforms into Dark. Dark steals art work to seal away evil things inside it. This anime is also about the main boy being in love with this girl. There are 26 episodes. ***Nodame Cantabile*** This story is about two college students who play the piano and live next door. It is very funny (especially the girl) and there is some romance (not much). There are 23 episodes. ***Gakuen Alice*** This is an anime that is about a girl and her best friend at first. This girl named Mikan finds out her best friend is leaving school. Basically, Mikan follows her friend by going to her new school. This school takes in children with special abilities which they call Alices. Only children with Alices can attend, but the school allows Mikan to attend. This anime is about Mikan and her adventures once she enters the school. This anime reminded me a lot of Kodocha (kids who are in love). Nothing romantic actually happens (no kissing, but in the manga they do kiss). If you watch all this anime and you want to know more, I would recommend reading the manga (which is ongoing). There are 26 episodes. ****Peach Girl**** This is a series I really liked. It is about a love triangle mainly between the main girl and two guys. The main girl named Momo has tan skin and bleached hair because she used to swim a lot. Since she has these features, people think she is promiscuous. One guy plays baseball and the Momo has liked him since junior high. The other guy was saved from drowning by Momo. Her best friend (not) named Sae is evil. Sae tries to mess up everything Momo has (especially her relationships). There are 25 episodes. ****Kaikan Phrase**** This anime for half the episodes is all about a band named Lucifer. After half the episodes a girl named Aine comes in and she falls in love with the lead singer named Sakuya. The anime is all about the things the band goes through. There are some romantic parts with Aine and Sakuya. I really liked this anime because it was about music and I would only watch it if you are willing to wait more than 25 episodes for some romance to start. There are 44 episodes. *****Marmalade Boy***** This anime is about a boy and girl whose parents switch (her dad marries his mom while his mom marries her dad). All of them start living under the same roof. This anime is all about how the boy and girl fall in love (there are also many love triangles that try to separate them). There are 76 episodes. *****Kodocha*****(I like this one a lot but it is about two kids) This anime is about a energetic girl who is a famous child actress. It is about how she stands up to this boy in her class, helps him fix some issues he has, and how she falls in love with him. Her mother is very funny. This was one of the first anime I saw and it is one of my favorites. There are 102 episodes. *****Fushigi Yugi***** This anime is about a girl named Miaka who opens a book with her friend and they are teleported into the book. Miaka falls in love with a boy in the book and the story is all about her trying to summon Suzaku so she can make three wishes. To summon Suzaku she must find all seven celestial warriors. Her friend Yui eventually leaves then comes back to the world in the book and she develops a hatred for Miaka. This series is very romantic. There are 52 episodes. Peach Girl, Marmalade Boy, and Fushigi Yugi are the most romantic animes from above.
