I’m looking for recommendations for a relatively long running yet modern series with multiple seasons, I’ve put a list below of some of the shows I enjoy. I really enjoy romance series, but I find many of them are just too childish. It would be awesome to see one that had more mature themes that isn’t hentai, as in I want sexual themes, but I don’t wasn’t to watch sexual scenes.

    What is your definition of long running? At least 20 Episodes? At least 50? At least 100??

    “Call of the Night” has two seasons, is relativly new and has romance without it being the main focus.

    Monogatari series is quite long and is ecchi, but it is different from your “normal” anime so it is not for everyone. First seasons aired around 2015s if I’m not mistaken, but recent entries are around 2023ish. You need to look for watch order list to et the full expirience tho.

      I’m afraid the anime is older than that. The majority of the Monogatari series is from before 2015. Bakemonogatari aired in 2009. Owarimonogatari S1 aired in 2015

      Thanks, I’ll check out My Dress-Up Darling.

      I had already watched The Dangers In My Heart, but I found it a bit childish. ::: Two seasons in and they still hadn’t kissed is ridiculous :::

    7 Deadly Sins

    Quite a few seasons, plus movies. Fantasy. Includes mature themes, delivery is often humorous, but I wouldn’t say childish for sure.

    Adding nothing of value here but I’m curious as to the responses you would receive.

    The criteria of:

    • modern
    • long-running
    • romance

    turned out to be quite restrictive, and I can’t think of any good recommendation off of anime I’ve watched 😅

      Relatively modern, as in post 2010 or wide screen era. Like My Hero Academia or Black Clover.

      I like romance, but also like many other genres, the caveat for romance was something a bit mature instead of all this high school hand holding PG stuff that proliferates the genre.

      If you have anything fantasy based, isekai or otherwise, I’m all ears.

        Restricting yourself to everything after a certain time period is a shame. I have an amazing long running, fantasy isekai to recommend, but you’ve already ruled it out.

        Oh cool. In that case:

        I’m not sure if it’s long enough for you, but Attack on Titan has many seasons.
