They both have comedy and the school life setting. Also there's a pair (Miyazawa and Arima) who are against eachother in the beginning but end up falling for one another.
They share the same basic storyline about rivals, then friends who become a couple. There are tons of other differences of course, but if you enjoy one you would enjoy the other.
I highly recommend you to watch this. If you loved the comedy and romance, you'll defiantly go for this series.
Both stories generally take places in school and both series are shoujo. Hence, both stories' characters have some complexes and having some diffuculties about love or confessing their loves and also both series have some comedy in it.
In the same setting as Lovely complex KareKano deals with romance in school in a more serious way with some moments of comedy, the protagonists also share differences and interior similarities that make them closer to each other.
And if you liked Lovely complex, you'll love even more KareKano.

The main character is also a female student, whole initially has a rough start with the male lead.
Two very similar series. The boy is the school idol, perfect in almost everything. The girl falls in love, and many funny things happen. High school romance at it's best!
It's all about romance, drama and comedy, it keeps you wondering whats going to happen next, how the boy and girl are gonna get togheter, and the best part: it keeps you hoping for the couples to finnaly get together!!
the first thing i thought when watching this was Kare Kano.
extremely smart male lead and, differing from Kare Kano, a not so bright girl. they clash and give a very similar feel to KK. if you liked KK then you'll defintely like Itazura na Kiss.
Both show are underrated in every aspect and deserve more attention.
The beginning for these anime it is almost identical, there is a super girl (Kare Kano) and there is a super guy (Itazura na Kiss)
In 1st it keeps a secret that she loves attention and by that does all good that it once again have praised, but in one day to it the guy home comes, and she in "Not front door " with With a wild hair meets him and that it has not given publicity (that it such sloven), to it to have to fulfil its commissions...
In 2nd, it the super guy the lady's man for little girls with severe character, refuses to the girl such form, but his father and the father of that girl the best friends (if I will be mistaken that forgive) is then clarified that...
The total of these anime to start so that the guy and the girl in given аниме have got acquainted well in very nasty position (in the second case is available in view of about a life in one house) and so the given history about love ^ __ ^ starts

They're both shoujo titles which possess a very believable romantic theme between It's two leading protagonists. Also, similar jokes and animation are used throughout both series which denote how similar these two titles really are.
Both are highschool romances but Kare Kano focuses on how both people are feeling about eachother. Kare Kano's animation is a little... not too fantastic but the story and characters are great. You really get to know Arima and Miyazawa and root for both of them to love eachother more.
Both are romance shoujo drama.
Both have a similar atmosphere, though Kare kano has more commedy. Both have very well developed relationships between male and female protagonists and how they over come their problems with the power of love (more or lessxD)~ Both boys have a sad past and rely on their love to overcome TT____TT
Both are romance, atmosphere is very similar, but in "Kare Kano" is the more of humor.
I'm convinced that if you liked Bokura ga ita, you will be delighted "Kare Kano" :)

Another anime series where two top students constantly bicker and compete to be the best. It's also similar in the way that they're surrounded by a group of friends who are quirky and fun, mostly to offset the tension between the two main characters.
Both of these animes is about a girl who is perfect in almost everything and a guy that is better than they are. In both animes the girl is always trying to beat the guy in something . In both animes the guy likes the girl!! Both are funny and romantic!! If you like Special A you will like Kare Kano too!!!
Similiar main plot of female lead rival in school with male lead...both discover love for each other...
They are both comedy love story.
The main characters are both intelligent and the top of the class.
Another thing, the guys are the first ones that fell in love to the girl..
Both Anime Are Very Similar. Like Both Are About Topstudents. They're Also About A Girl Does Want To Be Better As Someone. Really This Anime Was My First Thought When I Watched the First Episode
Both animes have similar main characters. Hikari in Special A is smart and her goal is to beat Takashima, her rival. Miyazawa in Kare kano is smart, intelligent, and very competitive when it comes to her grades. In the beginning, her rival is arima who gets a grade higher than hers for the entrance exam. They both fall for their rivals. Thoug kare kano is more romantic.

Both have great characters and story, each keeps you wanting for more.
watching those series made me read the manga of each because both don't really "end" where they should.
even if they are shojo i recommend them to anyone
both are good romances and very funny
I dont really know.. But i think a lot of people havent watched this series by GAINAX. And as a teen drama it is wonderful. The inner monologues are astonishing and the characters are all very funny and fill their role very good. Sadly the japanese audio is not as good as the spanish one but that doesnt matter it is enough with the illustrations to get the idea. It also ended very abruptly but what was made is wonderful.
The music, the constant change of animation style, the enjoyment you get because of the jokes, the characters that really win your appreciation and the psychological plot are all things that really help this anime to be one of the best shoujos.
It is only similar to Fruits Basket because it also is about a boy and a girl that fall in love.. but this one stays very real.
They both set up all their characters with someone else. Everyone ends up with someone different and there's a side story for each of those pairs. Also, arima in Kare kano has a dark past like Yuki, kyo, and everyone who's cursed has. They both have romantic and deep love in them too.

both of these shows are really artsy and deep and have a nice plot
The way this anime compares people's daily lives is similar to that of Kare Kanos' characters. In addition, Kare Kano's effect in animation give a little similarity as well.
Both of these shows have a well written and powerful romantic story. The animation is as different as night and day being years apart and yet both fit well on screen. Both shows also revolve around teenagers and the situation they encounter keep you on the edge of your seat.
While the tone and material behind the two shows are different, thoughtful romance, introspection and highly artistic (or budget saving, depending how you look at it) presentation drives both shows.

another great drama, slice-of-life or what have you.. it's centered mostly on the romance between just two characters which leaves more room for character development.. some interesting comedy thrown in there too-not exactly what i've seen in other series but it works.. it doesn't give me the same sort of feeling as honey and clover, but i just wanted to recommend it because it's highly entertaining.
Similar type of storytelling. A good mix of comedy and romance. Incredible soundtrack.

Kare Kano begins with two characters who don't realize that they have fallen for each other. As the series develops, the characters learn, grow, and come to accept themselves (and each other) just as they are. The theme of character growth is similarly laid out in Kimi ni Todoke.
The art, the plot, everything reminds me KareKano greatly.

Both of the main characters pretend to be something they're not in order to maintain a good reputation with their classmates.

old school cliched predictable storylines. overly confident/energetic female protagonists, turning to hate male protagonist. some character development, and romance. comedy slice of lifes, with similar humour (slap stick kind).
|

Also about a group of friends in high school dealing with love, family, growing up, and other changes adolescence brings.
|
|

not exactly similar, but if you liked the humour in kare kano, you will defineately love the humour in ouran!! both school relaxing comedy atmospheres.

Both these anime's compose of different characters involving their different sets of love stories. Both anime's have high school characters as well going to the very same school, at least majority does. These anime's are thirst quenchers for those romance-themed anime seekers.

Both KareKano and Hana Yori Dango focus mostly on the life of a group of high school students.
UNLIKE ALL the general drama/comedy anime, in both Karekano and Hana Y Dango we are shown the troubles DURING the relationships, instead of watching a bunch of guys racing in circles troughout an ENTIRE season of episodes just so they can wind up the same as they started: STILL not dating, STILL no development, STILL chacing eachother!
Both bring the feelings of the characters to us in a heartful way. It lets your heart into their.
In both animes the main character is a simple girl with great character and charisma, with good principles.
In both animes the main characters have hidden personalities that are slowly shown to us.
In both animes, you feel like something sticked with you even after you're finished watching them.

the heroine was mean at first but later on they get into serious relationship

Both are about school and romance, and they WILL make you laugh. The big difference here is that Kare Kano is shoujo, while School Rumble is Shounen

The most striking resemblance I see in these two anime series is in the characters Arima and Chiaki - their background, character and weaknesses (which are all further explored in their respective manga series). Both are laugh-out-loud funny at times but have similar themed dark moments. If you didn't like the wait for Nodame and Chiaki to finally establish their relationship, Kare Kano is refreshing in that their romantic relationship hits off pretty early in the series. If you loved the romance between Nodame and Chiaki and wanted more, Kare Kano is for you.

How do you compare a mecha and a school romance? It's quite easy to do when they both have the same director ;) . I always viewed "Kare Kano" as a companion piece to "Neon Genesis Evangelion", and I'm sure there are many who agree with me. Both should be watched to really get into the head of one of the best anime directors of our era, Hideaki Anno. While "Neon Genesis Evangelion" slowy and steadily broke down and finally destroyed it's characters, "Kare Kano" starts with some broken and empty people, and truly brings them up. It slowly raises up these oh so human characters. It's important to note NGE was made before Kare Kano, so i suggest you watch them in that order ;) .
Both series physco-analyze their characters. Both series have emphasis on character development, fleshing out their characters, and in essense both are actually just character dramas at their hearts. While NGE has mecha, and Kare Kano has romance, both are better looked at as dramas. Both series are very psychological, a little philosophical and have very deep characters. Also the characters in all these are realistic people, with their own self-doubts, fears, anxieties and problems. And many characters could even be considered to have some mental disorders! A few need the aid of a good phycologist sooner rather then later.
The artwork and character designs in both look a lot alike, although this sin't surpriseing since both series were animated by Gainax. Both series also have a similur music style, also not very surprising since they both had Shiro Sagisu on board for their music.
Both series have a lot of Anno's distinctive charms (such as good use of still images, use of photographs and videos of real life, and many common motiffs are found in both series [ie empahsis on power lines]). Both series also must deal with a screwed up budget at times. But he handles both series very well despite the money troubles. At least as best as he could. I doubt many directors could pull off something like these shows, if they had to deal with the problems Anno did.
Most importantly both series are straight from the heart. You can just feel the emotion Anno put into each of these series. You can sort of feel what he felt, understand what he went through, and really get into his mind. Also both shows are very smart series, and best watched if you can either relate to young teenagers and their isues, or if you yourself is one. But don't think that's going to stop them from showing you some dark, depressing, and disturbing things now and again. And they are still very mature shows. But the emotion seems to only hit you correctly if you can think like a teenager at times (or are one yourself).
So if your looking for something else to watch after being blown aware by the masterpeice that is "Neon Genesis Evangelion", look no further then the slighly flawed, but still brillaint in it's own right, "Kare Kano".
