@NamuSkull/Pocky Yoshi?
Another like??? you're so generous! 8)
I like her, but I've only seen or rather heard, her in the two I mentioned. (And later I found out she was in a few small roles in others) but I think it would be a bit much to see her in same role over and over!
In Maid Sama Usui is a little like the "straight forward and manly" type your looking for, but Misaki is a bit of a tsundere (nowhere near as much as Taiga! xD)
With Lovely Complex, Both the guy and the girl are kinda tsundere... O.o'
Special A is mostly comedy and the girl is reeaalllly dense.
And Bokura ga ita is a little over dramatic if you ask me, but not bad. =)

@senzait
I don't have Netflix, but a friend told me once that they have Clannad which imho is like the best thing ever! xD
And I'm not sure what kinds you like, but I'm sure they have the really popular ones like Death Note, Bleach, etc.

Netflix only has dubs if you're asking about instant watch. Take that as you will. The Clannad dub completely changed the characters for me, and absolutely nobody can replace Mamiko Noto as Kotomi.

Does it have the Slayers dubs? Slayers is always fun, and the dubs are great.

@iKotomi
Really? that's kind of a shame... I rarely like dubs, and even when I think they're alright I still prefer subs. =P
True. I can't imagine anyone else voicing her, same goes for Fuko! ;D

 

[iKotomi]

Dubs work when the voice actors don't try to imitate the Japanese. The Read or Die OVA is an example of this, and I think the dub was better even than the original.

@Page, they only have Slayers Evolution-R on instant watch, but it is the dub.

As for romance anime, off the top of my head for some reason the only one that isn't Toradora I can think of is REC. Pure romance is pretty rare I guess, and mostly pretty bad. If you want drama with romance elements, you have stuff like Air, Clannad, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Angel Beats. And if you're interested in visual novels, Tsukihime (don't watch the anime) Fate/Stay Night (also don't like the anime) and G-Senjou no Maou.
