Akane Maniax
Alt titles: Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Gaiden
Synopsis:
For Suzimiya Akane, letting go of her memories and moving forward has been difficult. Luckily (more like unluckily) for her, the loud and confident baseball powerhouse Gouda "Ace" Jouji has just transferred to school, and what's better (worse?!), he's just proposed to her in the middle of class after their first meeting! Can Akane outmaneuver and escape the persistent Gouda, or is she doomed to a pairing she cannot refuse?

Tsukamoto Tenma is young, bright, and smitten with the school hottie Karasuma Ooji. She's desperate for his attention, which is unfortunate considering he barely gives her the time of day! Throw Harima Kenji, the school delinquent with a crush on Tsukamoto into the mix and you've got one twisted love triangle of unrequited proportions! Can love find the trio happiness before their attention-grabbing stunts end up hurting more than their egos?

add recSchool Rumble and Akane Maniax are both schoolkid comedies of sorts, that involve romancing those who simply don't know we exist! Check it out for laughs.
The reason I like Akane Maniax is the lead male character's personality... His "never giving up" attitude is very similiar to that of Harima Kenji from School Rumble. Also, mixing heartbreaking scenes with extreme comedy is common in both anime.
I'm sure that you'll like School Rumble if you liked Akane Maniax.
While a lot of the wacky romantic comedies get their jokes out of strange situations and the incredicle shyness of the characters. Akane Maniax and School Rumble are great examples of how a never-give-up attitude can be just as rediculously funny.
Great Teacher Onizuka
With a history of leading a motorcycle gang and getting bad grades in school, why would 22 year old Onizuka ever want to become a teacher? Is it to educate young minds or spread the joy of education? Sure, if it involves being able to look up high school girls' skirts! Watch as this would-be educator uses his own life lessons and unconstituted methods as a means to control a delinquent class of students -- students who certainly aren't as happy to have him as a teacher as he is happy to be teaching...

add recIf you like Akane Maniax then you would also like Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) because of the school setting. Both Akane Maniax and GTO teach life lessons (more so in GTO than in Akane) but you'll love Onizuka because he's much like Gouda, with the exception of the fact that Onizuka isn't THAT big of an idiot, haha. But if you saw Akane Maniax and liked it, yet thought it was too short, then you absolutely LOVE GTO!
GTO is an anime with a fairly similar character as Gouda. They can be very goofy, but also very passionate about the things they want. On top of that GTO has a similar flow to Akane Maniax, though that is just a feeling i got, can't explain it very well. If 3 episodes wasn't enough for you, you should definitely pick up the longer lasting GTO series!
Ranma 1/2
Ranma, raised to be a man among men, has a bit of a problem: he is half woman! While training in China he fell into a strange magic spring at Jusenkyo. Now, he is eternally cursed to change into a beautiful woman whenever he is hit by cold water, but that may be the least of his problems; his father has betrothed him to marry! There's never a dull day for Ranma as he attempts to find a cure for his curse, train to become stronger, and grapple with the fact that half of himself may be more feminine than his fiancée!

add recStuck in a relationship where there is no hope for escape? That's the situation Suzimiya Akane is in when an overconfident Gouda transfers into her class; this is also the situation Ranma and Akane Tendo find themselves in too! Both of these are entertaining anime series, with oodles of comedic relief to calm the tensions between the pairs.
Martian Successor Nadesico

add recThough I thoroughly disliked Akane Maniax for its lack of serious creativity, I will say that it is a perfect anime to recommend to Martian Successor Nadesico but only because MSN's frequent moments of making little to no sense. In comparison Akane Maniax's odd romance story made no sense what-so-ever, and the animation was only better because it is a younger anime. If you enjoyed Akane Maniax's silliness you can upgrane yourslef to MSN.

add recThe humor of Akane Maniax reminded me a lot of Yakitate Japan. It's just as weird and random, and both provide us with a rather strange, but funny parody. So i have no doubts you'll like Yakitate as well!
