Personally, I'm watching Itazura na Kiss right now and I absolutely love it (no pun intended). It is by far one of the best romantic comedies I've seen thus far, and ranks up there in my favorite anime. I've seen a number of anime and they all seem to have a similar setup and storyline, but this is one of the first I've seen of its kind.

ehhh so basically you want us to suggest/recommend you good Romance/Comedies? Shouldn't this thread be in the recommendations forum?
There's already a post for Romantic/Comedy type animes with a massive list of great suggestions.
Here's the link: http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?topic=15199.0
In this post, you'll find replies from people who have already begun replying here with the same answers they already gave there. ^.~. But check it out cus there's probably a good 100 suggestions for Romantic/Comedy type anime.

For me that would be MariMite and Lovely Complex (and KareKano, though I'm not going to talk about it here). MariMite probably doesn't fall in the romcom genre (more towards rom side), but it made me laugh enough.
I liked Lovely Complex, mainly because it didn't make me gag all the time like Ichigo 100% and other titles did (the anime, not the manga; and yes I know the manga is far better). There's still the Coincidental Meeting plot device and a few other devices scattered around, but they're more believable and not so eyeroll-ish. Also, no guy-tripping-and-falling-over-girl plot devices, no non-obligatory pantsu shots, not too much of guy-doing-dumb-stuff, etc.
And for once, the male protagonist is actually kinda cool; aside from his seeming lack of awareness of romantic feelings he's probably one of the few romcom male protagonists I actually liked.
As for MariMite... I usually hate high school anime, but MariMite is so full of poise, grace and style, that it doesn't feel like HS anime at all (also helps that there's little focus on their HS life, more on their personal issues and club activities). Yuri drama = win.
TBH I haven't watched that much romcom yet; putting Itazura No Kiss on the to-watch list though.

This isn't a recommendations thread, but rather a discussion thread. "cutsie fun" is not the same as romcom.
@kureshii
That is why I like Itazura na Kiss. Although it starts as a HS anime, the focus is more about the characters and how they move through their lives. It isn't ecchi at all, has no "sudden girlfriend appearance" as the main character is female (no "sudden boyfriend appearance" either), and most importantly, there really aren't very many "stereotypical" characters and plots.

By that logic, I'd say Midori no Hibi was pretty damn epic! ;D
C'mon think about the prospect of the situation...
I'd have to throw in my 2cents for Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun.
I would definitely say that one was epic. Outrageous gags and storyline.
Extremely ecchi though...so....it's not for everyone.

Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun extremely ecchi? Mneah, no no no. And also, the romance genre was, from my opinion, a not so special part of the anime. It was very common, and with a default characteristic. Also, the comedy genre was, again, from my opinion, not quite on my taste, nothing special practically. But meh, my 2 cents 2.^^

Lovely Complex, to answer the question.
