the same storyline and atmosphere: random 'God' who is contained in a schoolgirl's body, and is energetic, confident, crazy which gets involved in trouble and creates weird situations out of normal life and school. no real storyline, normal innocent good guy who gets caught up in all the crazy plans.
Both main female leads are domineering and somewhat naive gods, and both animes are slice of life.
Both of the series' main character is a very talented in singing but has weird / unusual / extrovert mind and want everything done their way... both are very fun to watch :D
Sure, they both have similar characters, supernatural circumstances, and both are hilarious comedies but Kannagi is really one of the few animes that are good enough to compare to this colossus and a potential candidate for best comedy/romance of the year. I hope they make a second season because I will be looking forward to it as much as I am looking forward to season 2 of Suzumiya.
Both are comedies with a high-school aged cast. Both have eccentric and hilarious female leads with a straight-man comedic companion.
Both shows have loveable characters and is filled with pure comedic genious...It's like watching Scrubs or Arested Development. You could say they are both post-modern romantic comedies. It's got parody and a lot of 'breaking the 4th wall'. I love the interactions between Haruhi/Kyon & Nagi/Jin:)
The show includes HEAPS of fan service, which is great considering how cute Nagi is.
So if you like Haruhi, then you'll love Nagi...
Both main female charecters are infatuated with themselves and are gods. Kannagi shows the same random plot turns that seemed to devlop with haruhi.
I enjoyed watching both series.
Both kannagi and haruhi are nice anime that are both comedy and sort of sci-fi and that both the main char have the same attitude (haruhi and nagi)..
I love this two animes and they are quite similar.
Same kind or characters. 12-14 episodes for each serie. Some paranormal stuff occuring, a great ending. What more do you expect ? :p
In general same type of show-->supernatural, comedy, slice of life anime with dynamic female leads that change the male leads lives.
Furthermore they contain some romantic moments without belonging to the romance genre. Both of them have lively and colorful art style and cheerful and catchy music.
But the main similarity is in the plot goddess and common human affect each other, have a unique relationship.
It's the whole idea that the female is "God" and the male has to put up with them! They are both very slice-of-life with a bit of comedy thrown in.
Similar story and genres.

Man meets goddess and soon afterwards a string of funny events occur
Both Nagi and Holo are a little strange and unpredictable
Both main characters pick up a god, watch it if you like this then you'll like the other.
Both are about a a male finding a goddess.
Only they take place in completely different eras.
Both females protagonists are gods, and their personalities are quite similar.
both have spunky female leads who happen to posses supernatural powers
As others have stated when comparing these anime, the main characters meet a "god" through interesting circumstances.
Both Nagi and Horo give off the same aura of deceptiveness and unpredictability
and both form some sort of loving relationship with the protagonists Kraft and Jin.
In some cases Horo and Nagi even talk in similar ways.
However, in comparison kanngi is more geared towards being comedic. You should seriosuly consider watching one if you have seen the other as both are very good anime
In both anime, the male character get involved with a god. The goddesses, Holo and Nagi, have similar personalities and often speak in similar manners.

In both animes a girl and boy live together in the same house, and both girls act tough. Also, in both animes there is a kinda mean girl character that tries to win the boy's heart infront of the girl he lives with. Both cute and funny animes ^O^
Both aired in Fall of 08 and have similar style comedy. While Kannagi has more ecchi and parody-centric comedy, Toradora is more slice-of-life/romantic comedy. Both animes are made great because of the characters.
Both good anime with good main characters, funny story. (nagi represents aisaka) and (jin represents ryujo)...... well, if you enjoyed kannagi... im sure you'll enjoy toradora also :)
"Kannagi" and "Toradora!" have similar scenes and action. Also in both are comparable characters: Nagi - Taiga, Jin - Ryuuji, Zange - Ami.
Both are fun and lighthearted.
Multiple girls sort of interested in one dorky guy
First of all, I found the characters designs extremely similar. Then the main characters resemble each other. Taiga as Nagi are strong female characters but can become weak and Emo if something intense happens. Jin - Ryuuji on the other hand are caring and helpful male leads that have characteristics, which usually belong to female characters.
Furthermore if we ignore the exact scenario, the core characterization of both stories are romantic slice of life comedies.

K- ON & Kannagi have very similar animation and characters. Both are very, very funny, and have a lot of music!
Characters are drawn very similarly and there is a strong link with music in both, although much MUCH more obvious in K-ON!
Both have very similar animation and art style. Both silly comedies with a similar feel.

well, shana has TONS of action, complex (overdramatic) storylines; whilst kannagi is much more relaxed with nothing much happening except everyday things, however the main male protagnists are extremely similar in that they seem quite laid back average, nothing-much-going-on guys, who by some odd reason gets chased by some girls.
Normal guy + sudden supernatural girl appearance. While Shakugan no Shana has more action, both shows share romantic and magic elements.
Both have female leads with supernatural powers and have the male leads wrapped around their little fingers.

They both gave me the same feeling.Nagi acts like Murasaki at the start,asking how is that and expecting more,but starts warming up to the main character.
A special and distinguished girl (a sheltered young girl in Kure-nai, a literal goddess in Kannagi) has to learn how to cope with living a normal life and shakes up life for the young man putting a roof over her head and his friends alike while carefully hiding the secret of how she came into her current situation.

They are not that simmilar; however, Thers a Goddess and she stays with a male main character. Thats pretty much it.
Goddess stays with male main character
Comedy and supernatural things

Yamamoto Yutaka, the director of this anime was also the director of Lucky Star(ep 1 - 4). and u can find Kannagi's style is very similar to that of Lucky Star.
Both have different anime studios but the two has great similarities in animation and craziness. Lucky Star is completely random while Kannagi has a plot to follow. Lucky Star just reminded me of Kannagi because of the animation. If you want another taste of fluid animation like Lucky Star's, Kannagi's a great try. and yes, Yutaka Yamamoto... if you know what I mean.

In both animes there are gods.Those gods appeared after their seals were broken by some young kids.Both gods and their companions have to exterminate evil spirits :P.
Also: similar comedy,animation ;).
when a shrine gets destroyed a deity/god gets thrown in to a human like body and ends up staying with a guy. as you could expect things dont goes easy for the guy his childhood friend gets jealous and a relationship starts to form between him and the deity/god thats more than that of just friends

Same feeling. they both center around life and have pretty much the same humor though Minami-ke have more comedy themes than Kannagi.
almost identical laid-back atmosphere, concentrating on the way people life and their relations with each other. not much development in both, same kind of humour. also, nagi reminded me of kana

Both have female leads with supernatural powers and have the male leads wrapped around their little fingers.
Theres somehow the same feeling about these two animes. Aswell the main boy looks quite the same,acts and thinks the same (just the two main girls are slitly different)
And also the relationship between boy and girl in Kannagi goes a bit in the direction of Zero no Tsukaima, though Zero noTsukaima has got more romance (I would have wished for a bigger develepmont in Kannagi^^) and is fantasy.
Both animes also contain a lot of comedy.

Both animes are romance comedies about a main girl and guy that have somewhat of a relationship together, and then another girl (Ayame is Asu no Yoichi, Tsugumi in Kannagi) that are in love with the main guy. Plus, both contain Haruka Tomatsu and Kana Hanazawa.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Both female protagonist are beings that are not human. The comedy in them is similar from time to time and the females are both kind of dim witted by the unfamiliarity of the human world
|
|
|
Well in the story two people are living together not wanting other people to find about it or misunderstand and I guess rec is more romance and kannagi more comedy and the art is similiar
|
|
|
Both involve deity/goddess that seem to interrupt a normal boy's life. They both are a romance comedy that will keep you entertained.
|
|
|
Both main characters (Nagi and Kyouka) claim to be goddesses, yet in reality they remember little about their pasts.
|
|
|
Kannagi and Manabi Straight both have a similar, light-hearted feel about them. They both have to do with life, though Manabi Straight takes place in a future setting.
|
|
|
They are both really humoristic, sometimes perverted humor in different situations. Jin in Kannagi are a bit of a pervert, and so are the twins in ouran with their brotherly love. I really love the humor in both animes! they've got 10 points both from me! <3

Both shows deal with gods, the supernatural, and are most light fantasies with lots of humor. Yozakura Quartet also has action and battles, while Kannagi has more school life drama; but neither show takes itself to seriously. They are both fairly short (12 and 13 eps). Yozakura Quartet's plot is centered around the protection of a town that is normal, except that it is a haven for beings with supernatural powers who want to live in peace with humans. Kannagi is about Nagi, a self proclaimed kami who took the form of a girl when her sacred tree was carved by Jin, a very normal boy with an absentee father so not parents will question when Nagi decides to stay. Both anime are very cute without being too cute, and the drama, humor, and action keep them from being boring or too typical.

Both are animated by A-1 Pictures, and are about a guy meeting a supernatural girl.
|
|
|
both are about goddesses.
Both have very good sense of humour!!
a must see!
|
|
|
both main characters have very similiar characteristics :P both Nagi and Shinku are unusual characters and control a guy's life ... both amusing anime series!
|
|
|
Change the gods in Kannagi into mermaids, add a serious 'chivalry' obsession to Nagi, and you've got Seto no Hanayome. They are both hilariously wacky, have amazing character designs, and have very similar character personalities. There's the childhood friend, the bipolar idol, the crazily cute main, and other personalities you'll find in both animes. If you've seen one, I recommend watching the other right away!

The feel this anime gives is somewhat similar to that of Wagaya, both involving the supernatural and there is humour injected in them.
|
|
|
exactly the same type of male protagonist. boring but kind, nothing-much-to-him. somehow lands himself a girl whos an alien/God, and hence elements of romance and comedy.
|
|
|
Both funny anime that will make you laugh unlike some anime who just pretends or tries to be happy :))
|
|
|
Like in love hina, most of the char are in love with keitaro...
in kannagi, most of the girls are in love with mikuriya jin
|
|
|
Both made by A-1 Pictures, they feature a similar type of quirky, lifelike animation in their first episodes. If you enjoyed Shingo Yamashita's animation, you may want to watch his other involvements. Obviously, Birdy has more action, whilst Kannagi is more realistic.
