Well most of your examples were shows aimed at/about kids, so I assumed that's what you meant, but if you mean romance in animation in general... I don't think it's dead. Anime, specifically, I doubt will ever stop having romantic elements; admittedly much of it is more "OOPS I FELL OVER AND YOU SAW MY PANTIES" than heartfelt love, but it is indeed there. In fact, I think the focus in cartoons is shifting more toward continuity and character development, perhaps thanks in part to the growing influence of anime.
