Both have the essence of comedy and romance, and they have a similarity of the story outline which held in school with rich and famous people. Also the similarity of some characters is a bit matched, and surely both will give laughter at the end.
Both of these deal with a specific group of high school kids and strangely enough their main protagonists are both "poverish", young girls!! Many similarities, yet so many differences, but somehow they're one in the same! Fun, hilarity, and drama are packed with the complicated and interesting lives of each character. And as it always is in animes like this, almost every character is loveable in their very own special way.
Both are closely similar... Hikari, a talented girl raised under a normal family, attends a prestigious and elite school. She gets to be a member of a special class of rich and bright students who goof and fool around. Ouran is just like that too...
Both have a club consisting of rich, beautiful and talented students. The main girl from both series are the oddballs out as far as money is concerned. The romance situations have the main guy in love with the main girl who doesn't even take notice. The comedy is about equal, though in my opinion, I found SA more comical.
Having seen one of the two, it's impossible to see the other without being constantly reminded of the first.
Special A and Ouran Host Club have the same general feel. Each features a group of distinct characters with slight focus on the relationships between the male and female leads. If you like the comedic adventures and exaggerated animation style of Ouran, Special A is certainly worth a try.
I believe they have some similarities in the fact that there is this "elite" group in school to which only a few are allowed. And there is this display of wealthiness from a couple of its members, it shows in the kind of activities they make. A lot of bishounen running around too, with wicked father or mother figures. I suppose these are common traits in anime that are mostly developed in school. Also the wealthiest boy , or at least the one that shines the most, is in love with a girl of humble origins who is into studying and has a strong personality.
School settings with plenty of romance and humor to go around. Main characters are all funny as hell and give off good feelings.
Both revolve around a prestegious group of students and most of them are extremally wealthy. They both have the same type of comedy and are both very good animes if your looking to just relax and laugh. Also I think if you like HaruhixTamaki, you'll love HikarixKei
First, both are absolutely different from their manga counterparts. Second, both involve an elite group of students, be they the best looking ones (Ouran), or the top students (Special A). Third, both are drop dead hilarious. Finally, both involve the leading member of the group (Kei and Suou) liking an extremely dense female member of the group (Hikari and Haruhi).
Well Both have Story About School and special class and both have story about special class love
They both depict the lives of students in highly exclusive schools. There were a lot of fun moments in both, though I find Ouran to be far superior in almost every aspect.
The atmosphere of Ouran High and Special A are the same with those students who enjoy themselves staying in a luxurious room and leisurely spend their days are very much similar. Though Ouran High is much more comedic than special A, still I could say that if you liked Ouran High there's a high possibility that you would also like Special A.
Both great cute Anime where the girl is not really a push over and the guys aren't jerks!! Very funny, great characters.
Both have a comedy genre which makes them both fun to watch.Random things appear all the time and you can't help but love all the characters
Well firstly, both are shoujo comedy school slice-of-life anime. both shows the dramas of each member of a special group of friends. ouran is romantic in that the club is set up to entertain women, whilst special is romance in the sense that most of the characters have their own love story and pair up. however, both have similar atmospheres. ouran's comedy is better, but special a still has it's fair share. they even end nearly the same!! many scenes reminded me of the other.
Speical A has the a bunch of Rich Kids doing what they do best, just like in Ouran. It also has really great characters like Ouran, but what makes this fancy is that it follows the romantica story of each character. It will make you laugh and brigten up your day when you are feeling down.
well..its both about school and a special club..in OHHC it has host club..while in special a it has this special class for top7 student..i found some episode similar in some ways..like in the last episode..where tamaki is going to france while kei is going to ??(the main branch of takashima)..it is both comedy..and emotional in some episode but more on in comedy..
Is basic on almost the same place, but what is different is that we don't know the true result of who loves who =P
They are both about a group of high school students in a 'club' of some sort. (Host Club for Ouran and selective students for Special A) The school is both for rich kids with the main character in both being female, being a commoner but still getting into the school anyway. The female main is also every smart in both of them, S.A 2nd in school and Haruhi top of grade. They also both have love problems within their group. Not to mention they are both funny with those hilarious signs.
The story is kinda similar.
If you liked Ouran you willl love "special A",Both are romantic comedys, about an Average girl who acts more like a boy,hanging out with rich people in a special class/club.
I found the both Anime to be very similiar, both are talking about school life, each of the Anime are focusing the school life on Private Groups that the main characters take part in, While Ouran High School talks about a school of rich people and a private Host Club, Special A talks about rich people that are in the private special group of the smartest students.. xD make sure you watch them both!
In both anime's there are elite class students and one normal (commoner) person, romance between main characters, great humor, related to school and both have 7 friend's brought together.
Both are about a group of people that have gathered together.The leader of both anime likes the protagonist .They are both romantic comedies and are shoujo .There are also a similarity in characters,Tamaki from Ouran is like Tadashi from SA,Kyouya from Ouran is like Kei from SA,Haruhi from Ouran is like Jun from SA,Takeshi(Mori-Sempai) from Ouran is like Ryuu from SA.Both shows also have a pair of twins,Hikaru and Kaoru (both Boys)from Ouran and Jun and Megumi(One boy one girl) from SA.Another suprise is that both groups consists of 7 people.Also in both shows only the protagonists are not rich.So mch similarity in both shows but they both develop in different ways.Still i liked both so why wont you?
They're similar in a lot of ways, also the characters relate to each other a lot.
Same situation, one commoner and a bunch of close rich friends in a really prestigious school. the guy that likes her looks a lot like tamaki. It's also really funny and sweet.
Special A and Ouran High School Host Club are both shoujo comedies that center around a somewhat special group of high school students. In Special A this group is an elite class of the best students in school while in Ouran its a "host club". Still, the characters in both groups are eerily similar; in both groups you have a perfect male (lead), a cool reserved character, a cute character and a guy who appears to be a dummy.
Also both animes (being shoujo) center around a very clueless (but strong) heroine. Both shows have a lot of silly comedy. The character designs are alike. Overall both animes have the same feel, so I think that fans of one of them will like the other.
Ouran is a really funny anime! Every character is special in itself. and the same goes for SA. but Ouran has more individually gone into each character.
Well, both anime are really awesome.
Both are comedy, romance, school life, shoujo..
Both have a main female char that is 'poor' but talented and goes in a special elite school/class..
Both series have a extremly good char design, both can be funny, both can be romantic.. Both have characters really good definited.~
I suggest to watch both.. believe me, both worth it! :3
Ouran Host club and Special A have a similar mood going...
both deal with some high school for the rich n a normal talented
young girl that somehow gets caught up with a certain group/club
of the elite...even though they both have their slight differences...
they're both romantic comedies that are completely watchable^^
Both Ouran High School Host & Special A have a student, which is the main character, who is attending an elite school & is an oddball who does not fit in well when it comes to money. Haruhi from OHSHC & Hikari from Special A are both very dense when it comes to love & they do not realize that Tamaki [OHSHC] & Kei [S.A.] love them. They also share a couple of the same episodes, [I hope I don't ruin this for you guys] including the time when the Host Club & Special A visited the main character's house. Coincidentally, the Host Club & Special A both have seven members, including Haruhi & Hikari. Both are also comedies and I enjoyed watching every episode of both series. All in all, if you have watched one of the two, I recommend you watch the other. OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB & SPECIAL A ROCK ! (:
If you liked Ouran Host Club, then you will surely appreciate Special A, a mix of love, comedy, good looking and rich guys, who will capture your heart! Strongly recommended.
initial character design is very similar however developement more unexpected i would recomend watching ouran high first as SA goes as far as to openly spoof ouran thats how close they are please watch one if you have watched the other
they are very similar... characters, humor... Host Club is more funny, special A is cuter ^^
If you like something funny like Ouran High School Host Club than you might as well like Speacial A!These two manga/anime are the best comedy I seen yet.They also have a little romance in them.But mostly comedy.So atch it you might find yourself laughing before you know it!!!
Both Have Hilarious Characters
Both are romance
Great Story/Plot
Both are in special High Class schools
The story revloves around elite high school students. If Ouran revolves around rich characters, S.A revolves around the intelligent students. They are packed with comedy but if Ouran is more of a slice of life genre, S.A is more of a romance anime. They way how both stories end is similar.
Both about school life and its about the girl with her rich friends.
Special A seems like a copy of Ouran High School Host Club that is not superior to Ouran High School Host Club. But if you are still looking for a humourous anime to watch that is similar to Ouran High School Host Club, try Special A.
Romance, school, slice of life, comedy, a good series ^^
These both have romance and comedy at prestigious school clubs
Special A = Ouran High School Host Club + School Rumble
Pompous, rich and good-looking people that can do anything and everything to perfection and are clearly superior to all humans and even posses hearts of gold.... check.... Male lead in love with the totally adorable and equally dense and clueless female lead who doesn't notice his feelings even if slapped in the face with them..... check.... ^^
+All 3 are fantastic series
Both focus around school life, and are romantic and funny in their own way :)
You'll love them both.
They both take place with a school that houses a prestigous group. Both are a comedy and both have a similar feel. The animation in each series is unique and beautiful with great color.
Both are highly recommended.
these tow are too similar to each other .. both talks about 7 students .. the main girl is poor and while the rest are rich .. and a lot of similar situations ..
Special A and Ouran High School Host club are very similar in storyline. Both are Romance+ Comedy animes and the endings are very similar because in both the girl and the boy jump off something (Clock tower + Bridge). The build-up is also fairly similar as the girl is clueless that the guy(s) like her.
Both anime have girls of low social classes attending a prestigious school, and both anime are LOADED with comedy! As far as length goes, they have almost the same amount of episodes.
Both involve a group of elite rich kids who go about their daily lives. Each have more than a daily dose of comedy (chibis galore, everyone! ^^) and a little romance (Special A much more so than Ouran). All the characters are also made out to be extremely attractive, and often have moments where they are surrounded by roses (Ouran) or doilies( Special A) to promote this sort of appeal.(There's also quite a bit of squealing and fangirling among the background characters in both. 0.0) We also get to see some of the hardships of each character's past or current homelives in both. There's a lot of differences of course, but the only big differences are that 1) The main male lead is much, much smarter and moe serious than the main female lead in Special A, wheras it's reversed in Ouran. In fact, Hikari is pretty much the female version of Tamaki. ^^ and 2) There's much more drama in special A than in Ouran.
These two series are almost one in the same. Had the characters in Special A looked like the cast of Ouran I would've been fooled completely into thinking there was a season two of OHSHC. If you like Special A, there's no doubt you will love Ouran.
both are funny as well as there is some romance. if u prefer friendship over romance then ouran high is perfect where as u want everyone to have their pair then u will surely like special A

Characters and story are very similar; however, the mood and pace of the show is quite different, as well as the animation style. If you enjoy Special A, you will probably enjoy Itazura na Kiss.
They both have a girl who isnt in the top. Except that she's in F-Class and he's in A-Class.
They both have a girl who isnt in the top.
Both shows contain a male lead who are geniuses and can memorize things after seeing it once, they both contain a girl that are below them academically and both have a great mix of comedy and romance
Both of them have a main girl who isn't the best. They are quite similar, but in Special A the comedy is on a higher level unlike Itazura na Kiss. Although Itazura na kiss is not much of a comedy, it is the better romance. I recommend both of them
They are both really great anime's with the same kind of romance feel. Both female protagonists and both male protagonists resemble another a lot, and i just loved watching both of these. If you liked Special A you will deffinetly like Itazura na Kiss. !! I absolutley love both of them!
Itazura na Kiss and Special A both have the "cute-klutz" heroine in both the animes. Both are heart warming and very funny. Special A includes romance, but has much more comedy than Itazura na Kiss, and is therefore directed more towards younger audiences, whereas Itazura na Kiss is sweet, but is the "slice of life" style.
I recommend both, if you liked one, you are bound to like the other.

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.

The style of art is similar and Tenma is just like Hikari, except she's cuter while Hikari is more boyish XD Special A is cuter than School Rumble due to it being centered around a super cute romance, but I think that if you like one, you'll definitely like the other!
Both heroines both are extremely slow.
Both very funy and are about school life with a little romance.
Special A = School Rumble + Ouran High School Host Club
Male lead in love with the totally adorable and equally dense and clueless female lead who doesn't notice his feelings even if slapped in the face with them..... check.... Pompous, rich and good-looking people that can do anything and everything to perfection and are clearly superior to all humans and even posses hearts of gold.... check.... ^^
+ all 3 are fantastic series

Lovely Complex is more dramatic whereas Special A is more lighthearted.
Both animes have more than one couple but Lovely Complex really focuses on one couple compared to Special A. Both fit the romance comedy drama school life categories.
Comedy, Love, a really really dense beloved one, it's got it all.
And it's mostly scened at high school too, with a group of friends.
Hikari is similar to Koizumi and Kei is similar to Otani
Lovely Complex and Special A are similar in their plots. Special A has Competition in it and so does Lovely Complex (Notably during the earlier parts). Special A has an unrequited love which develops into a relationship and so does Lovely Complex. Special A has comedy than can match Lovely Complex

it is pretty similar by the special group,,
however, Shugo Chara is about elementary schoolers so they just have regular classes..
the garden thing is also similar..in Shugo Chara they call it the royal garden.
A special group of students/pupils slacking off, drinking tea in a garden during classes.
A bunch of fangirls and fanboys greeting the members of this special group screaming when they enter the school grounds.
Yeah, that must be how going to school should be. <_<
Both are shoujo romcoms, and focus on an elite group of students who are respected by their peers. They both spend their time drinking tea and eating cake in a giant greenhouse.
Differences: Special A features older students (I think?), and their relationships actually establish. Oh, and Special A doesn't have any magical elements, except for people jumping rediculously high.
|
|

Well Special A contains more comedy and Hana yori Dango has more drama but in the end they have some similarities.
Both heroine has normal life standarts. They are surrounded by rich students.Both two heroines are unaware of the crush of a rich boy to them.
The guy characters in HYD and Special A are similar in some ways, and are cute when liking the girl.
Gorgeus love stories where the rich guy falls for the poor girl... very cinderella... i luv it!

same romance..
quite funny too..
the main characters didn't know of their feelings..
but after the episodes go by they finally realize that they like the other guy..
same school life..
and the side characters have almost the same personality
[ex: akira of s.a n minori of toradora ]
anyway, why is the ending always the same?
but i cried anyway,, it's touching..
X3
Both story revolves in a high school, and the heroine, Hanazono Hikari is as powerful as Aisaka Taiga. A great story which do not let the side characters go down, as well as great soundtracks...

Four bishounens, free girls and funny actions! Both anime are very smiliar! Enjoy! ^_~
These animes have very similar characters; one being shy, one being silent, one being hyper, etc. The stories are also similar in a way. It's about life during school, the hardships the characters face and friendship being very important. The school is also divided into 2 different groups, the "average" students and the "advanced" students. Even though La Corda D'Oro is about music and Special A is more about competition and sports, they are both very fun to watch.
|
|
|
BOTH OF THEM HAVE ROMANCE IN THE MAIN CHARACTERS
BUT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE IF YOU LOVE SKIP BEAT YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY SPECIAL A
both anime are very similiar. both main character are boyish and very dense and blockheaded about love. both main characters has a hot looking guy loving them but they dont notice it. there both funny and cute . both contains hot looking guys
|
|

Both are romantic comedies and i really enjoyed each of the them. The main characters are both hard working girls who never give up. The main character Hikari in Special A, is similar to Tohru in that matter. Not only that, but they are continously wishing to make people other than themselves, happy. A major difference, however, is Hikari can't cook for crap, while Tohru is a fairly talented cook. Please don't let this fact sway youre decision. :)
it has similar caracters and is a nice anime i would say its good but thats my opion cuz when i read coments i say naa then i end p watching them than say wat was i thinking lol
its a good anime... i hope u enjoy (if u watch) lol

Wallflower (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge) and Special A are both reverse harems. There's humour in both series and the protagonist are both high school girls. Both are well worth watching ;)
Os dois animes sao comedia romantica.
E hikari e sunako nao demonstra amor pelos seus admiradores.
|
|
|
A love story with a group of friends.
|
|
|
Both series have a group of students superior to the rest. Both also have enjoyable characters that can make you laugh out loud or tear up.
|
|
|
the romantic aspect and male leads for both of these are very similar. watching one reminds me of the other.
|
|
|
A love story mixed with comedy and family.
|
|
|
They both have that carefree attitude about them.
|
|
|
Highclass individuals with exceptional talents in certain areas, both Special A and Princess Lover! throw some romance, school life, and comedy all together.
|
|
|
Both main characters have that dark mood and smart but plot and story are completly different
|
|
|
The female protagonists are very similar. They never give up and work hard to achieve their goals. They are strong, funny and yet vulnerable all at the same time.
Both of these animes have a good amount of comedy, drama, relationships, learning experiences and even action. If you love one, you will love the other.
So overall witty and lovable characters, great storises, nice artwork..
|
|
|
Hkari and Tazusa are the look alikes.
|
|
|
There are a few bishounens, and the artwork is great! The earl looks like half Kei and half Tamaki, so it'll remind you of special A everytime!
|
|
|
Although with different plots, since they're made by the same studio: AIC, they have similar animation and gags, and totally just as funny and enjoyable to watch. If you like one, you'll most definitely like the other...If not, then you're missing out.
|
|
|
its both romantic comedy
the girl is so unawer of the love its kinda the same if you
LOVE GAKUEN ALICE YOU WILL TOTALY LOVE SPECIAL A
|
|
|
both high school romances
special A's got good comedy, yet genuine romance, peach girl is more serious n dramatic
u might even say special A is better...filled with positivity...n sweet blush-inducing scenes b/w the protagonists :)
|
|
|
Both animes focus on relationships which don't going anywhere for along time, because the couple are unaware they are in love.
|
|
|
similar group of students (they also have a greenhouse, where they meet), also complicated love story, but with magic
|
|
|
vampire knight and special A revolve around elite high school kids with the plot focused on romance and comedy
both are reli good anime
VKG is better than VK
|
|
|
There are very similar aspects. Lucky Star is mainly about girls who attend school together, and Special A is usually located at school and about people who attend school together.
|
|
|
They are both mainly staged around people in love. In both, there are people who get in the way of that.
|
|
|
Both focus on the love lives of several school students, having both romance, some drama and comedy.
Special A focuses much more on the comedy whilst Kimikiss focuses more on the drama and romance, however both show good character and relationship development.
|
|
|
Kannagi is full of humor and so is SA. They both really make me laugh, and there are great personalities in both animes that you begin to like from the beginning. Both animes contains a group of friends but with most attention to one or two persons.
