So, I'm looking for a few good anime (or episodes thereof) to watch this Valentine's Day weekend, and I'm curious as to what would be the best for a weekend anime marathon?

I have a RECommendation...I-it's not like I care or anything...It's just a friendly suggestion, so don't take it the wrong way!

Anyway, REC is a great little under the radar romantic comedy that would make a great watch. It's only 9 12 min episodes. http://myanimelist.net/anime/710/REC

Not only no, but fuck no. While the subject matter may be great valentines material, this is probably one of the worst shows I've ever watched.

If you wanna go for romance/shoujo, check out the "oldie" but classic Marmalade Boy. It does have at least one Valentine's Day episode I thought...

And I think Shiro was joking...I hope. :scared:

Of course it was a joke. That'd be a horrible thing to recommend for someone on Valentine's Day. If they planned to watch the whole thing, that is.

A bit late now, but maybe for next year -- which ever series it was from last quarter that was being claimed as having "Imouto end" (or, in /a/'s parlance, "Imoutits end").

Funny, I was just watching that yesterday... although I was watching it all by my lonesome. :sniffle:

Another one to watch with one's sweetheart: Berserk. The last episode especially. :devil:

On a more serious note, Revolutionary Girl Utena wouldn't be a bad one. It's full of bright, pretty colors, roses, and romance. Hana yori Dango is also a nice old one.

You should have asked this question yesterday but for next year here are some good lovey-dovey ones.

Itazura na Kiss
Mahoraba
Mars Daybreak (this one has a lot of undersea mecha in it but does revolve around a love story.)
Midori Days (this one is all about lovey-dovey.)
Nodame Cantabile (see Ornette's link)
Please Teacher
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (I recommend this one above all the others.)
Outlaw Star (It's a space adventure but does have love pairing, especially at the end.)
Banner/Crest of the Stars (This is a long series with 3 seasons and some OVA movies to it so probably not the easiest thing to watch over a weekend.)
Shingu
Special A

Also two other ones that for some reason I can't seem to get the linking system here to work for.
Kamichu!
Ah! My Goddess
EVANGERIONANIME is stupid

-On EMF, as a thread becomes longer, the likelihood that fem-Kaworu will be mentioned increases exponentially.
-the only English language novel actually being developed in parallel to its Japanese version involving a pan-human Soviet in a galactic struggle to survive and to export the communist utopia/revolution to all the down trodden alien class and race- one of the premise being that Khrushchev remains and has abandoned Lysenko stupidity
