After 48 episodes, 8 OVAs and a movie, I will never again doubt that things from the '80s are the best.

I went into this series hearing only great things about it. How it was a great romantic comedy that never gets boring. After reading the synopsis... I thought, Damn. This does sound good! What's not to like about a comedic love triangle with delinquents? Sounds kinda like Toradora! Boy was I in for a surprise. It wasn't as good as Toradora... it was better!! I never thought I'd see a rom-com that would surpass Toradora, but KOR did.

It's completely episodic, other than the last 2 episodes. And it's seriously funny! Only series that I laughed harder watching was GTO. I loved every single character... even the annoying one. And Jingoro, that cat is hilarious! I also proclaim that Madoka is mine. Tyvm.

Best. Series. Ever. 11 out of 10! Anyone who loves rom-coms and hasn't seen this, I beseech you to watch it! And watch it nowwwww! Anyone else seen this gem of an oldie?

On a side note, I'd like to know how in the hell that me, a guy that loves action above all else... now has 2 romantic comedies and a romance drama as his top 3 series O_o Wth me... get with it.

I've only seen the second movie of that and enjoyed it very much. Perhaps because of the time travel aspect (yes, I'm a Back To The Future fanboy).  I've been meaning to look into it but totally forgot. Thanks for reminding me.

Also the dubbing for the second movie was decent. Not good mind you, just decent.

dbml:
Heh, I still haven't seen the second movie actually. Since by that point the love triangle has ended. I'll pick it up later and watch it though.

Oh yes, the time traveling is great! There's quite a few episodes of it in the main series. You'll like it :P

I've only read the manga... how different are the anime+movies ? Do they have filler or do they add to the manga? Also at which point do they end?

dbml:
I don't read manga personally, but apparently the anime and the manga aren't very similar (in the anime Kyosuke isn't a drunk, Madoka is a bit colder and Hikaru... well, she's still annoying) and the ending is completely different. I'm not sure exactly what you'd consider to be "filler" in a slice-of-life series though :P
