DANGIT 你 偷了 black butler...

uhm, i would say durarara, because it's the only 日本动漫 i watch thats romance, but it's not 哥特式 as much as dark.

I'd go with either Black Butler 或者 Soul Eater. Neither have really much "romance" per say, but there are a few "romantic" elements added every once and a while. But Black Butler has some hinted shounen-ai stuff, so if 矢追 and all that makes 你 uncomfortable I think it's best to stay out of that... Soul Eater has a 哥特式 feel to it, but it's a lot of comedy that lightens up the dark aura it gives off.

I've also heard Death Note is good if 你 haven't seen it yet. I haven't myself, but I want to.

Well I don't know anything about 哥特式 或者 Dark but I can help with romance ^^
Ouran Highschool Host Club (A MUST SEE!!!)
Fruits Basket (Soooo sweet!)
Vampire Knight (Kind of goth is guess...)
School Rumble (Super funny!!)
Elfen Lied (this one is dark...almost twisted)
Death Note (WICKED AWESOME!!)

i would say soul eater i have only watched a couple episodes and it is just plain awesome

Fullmetal Alchemist is one dark 日本动漫 显示 that comes to mind then durarara is one of those that must watch to understand how it is and/or dark in some cases like the god what do they call the check with out her hear. Not her name but people with out thier heads that are still alive there was a word that they call those people. this is going to bug the crap out of me tell i find out. But back to the queston, ramance one i would say bleach

*elfin lied-really dark!

Good anime, but not exactly 哥特式 anime:
Iria: Zeiram the Animation, Twelve Kingdoms, Rurouni Kenshin, Full Metal Panic, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Giant Robo, Kino's Journey, Gungrave, Now and Then Here and There
