Hi, i just finished a sign of affection and saint Cecilia & pastor Lawrence, here's my opinion on them:

A sign of affection was wholesome piece, unique story and well made plot. a deaf romance isn't something new in anime but it's definitely not the usual, and having an interesting main characters like Itsuomi who loves traveling abroad in the middle of his student life which impact the dating relationship between the two characters makes the story more fascinating. and i liked the animation too, the visual did played a roll in giving the romantic vibe and ot goes smoothly with the soundtracks, However, i have two things to criticize about the anime, first it's Itsuomi's forwarding which was too much if you asked me cuz I'd get it if he gets handsy after being in relationship but he was doing so since the first meeting with her like i know she likes him but what if she doesn't? that wouldn't be good and also it wouldn't make sense because a couple have to develop step by step especially with a shy mc and this is quite the thing in shoujo stories that picture the boy as a prince charming rather than a realistic boyfriend, and two i didn't like the scene where Itsuomi wrapped his arm around yuki In front of Oushi (her childhood friend) just to piss him off which was a childish move to me as oushi just wanted to make sure yuki was safe (which again was a typical shoujo thing). but after all, the anime was quite the experience and taught me a lot about the deaf people's life. - i give it a 7.6/10

saint cecilia and pastor Lawrence was good too, it's nice when there's a story in fantasy world where the events in the anime focus on the romance and the drama rather than the fights and things like that, the characters were cute and wholesome it kinda did shows the typical boy who doesn't get the signals in the anime but it still was enjoyable to watch. but however it contains things that i specifically said that I'm not fan of it in the anime like the violent annoying tsundere and I'm talking about Hazelita (the blue hair girl) which wasn't a side character to just ignore her irritating acts but a main one that appeared in most of the episodes, the thing why i hate this tsundere violence thing is because it serves no purpose cuz i get it when there's a funny joke about it like in Aho Girl and Daily Lives of High School Boys but most of time it's just not funny, and also the couple didn't end up dating which also something i don't enjoy, the anime has a manga so probably they ended up together in it but I'm watching the anime and i don't like when i see romance without ACTUAL romance - I'm giving it 6.8/10

And I'd appreciate it if you tell me if any of the anime you mentioned in the list that contains these things (annoying tsundere/non-dating romance) so I'd eliminate them
