Koi Kaze

I strongly urge fans of OreImo to watch Koi Kaze. Both shows deal with the topic of incest, specifically a romantic love between brother and sister, but Koi Kaze actually brings up legitimate issues that could arise if siblings decided to become a couple. There's no peer approval, no understanding family members, no marriage, no 'love-finds-a-way', only a strong rejection from society. Additionally, Koi Kaze analyzes realistically the psychological profile of a brother that falls in love with their sister (and vice-versa) without sugar-coating it; the heavy mental pitfalls that befall the pair - a mixture of self-loathing and never-ending anxiety - are a hard, but refreshing, watch. If you want to see the incest taboo explored to its full depth with masterful, mature lens, watch Koi Kaze. read more 

They are both incredible, heart-rending deconstructions of the incest subgenre of anime. They vary in the degrees of deconstruction, as Koi Kaze goes for a premodernist, straightforward approach, while Oreimo is a subtle, neoclassic take on the romance between siblings. Prepare to cry when watching both shows. 

Ahh, is there anything nicer than true love between true siblings? No, and that's the truth. Both series feature incest as a major theme. It could be argued that the way they tackle this theme is maybe just a little different, but hey let's not get caught up on semantics. Fans of one will certainly find much to like in the other. 

Koi Kaze and OreImo both delve the issue of sibling love. It is one that is a socially rejected concept and at the same time glorified by ethics in anime journalism. If I were to compare the two, it'd be using my expansive knowledge of porn, particularly between two-dimensional characters. There are many doujins involving tags such as, but not limited to, "lolicon", "incest", "schoolgirl". Although they are projected through the same media, the direction of the works can vary, into even the "netorare" tag. Likewise, Koi Kaze and OreImo are both under the same umbrella, yet mechanically different. Koi Kaze is reminiscent for La Nouvelle Vague, while OreImo is avant-garde in its own way, conforming to the social standards of our time. However, I digress. Essentially, they're both tales of the life between a brother and sister, with the flames of passion propelling them. read more 

these anime both about building romantic relationship between a old brother and his sister ( incest ) however ore immoto kawaii.. is funny and more comedy and koi kaze is more drama oriented. i liked them both recommend ore immoto kawaii more  

Do you enjoy stories about romance between siblings? Do you enjoy stories about tragic yet beautiful love blooming between two very different people? If yes, then you will enjoy Koi Kaze. The story is dramatic and focuses primarily on the relationship between estranged siblings. If you enjoyed the romantic and incest aspect of Oreimo, you will enjoy Koi Kaze. 

Koi Kaze and Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru are an obvious match. Not only do they both deal with the same tricky and potentially controversially the subject matter, that of incest, as they approach it in a sober, thoughtful manner that pulls at the heartstrings. Both are realistic and do not use fanservice, these anime are all about the emotional reaction of these characters who find themselves in a compromising situation.  

Incest, either love it or hate it. Personally, I find the characters in Koi Kaze easier to relate to due to the length of the series, but they both made me cry. ^^" 

I strongly urge fans of Boku Wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru to watch Koi Kaze. Both shows deal with the topic of incest, specifically a romantic love between brother and sister, but Koi Kaze actually brings up legitimate issues that could arise if siblings decided to become a couple. There's no peer approval, no understanding family members, no marriage, no 'love-finds-a-way', only a strong rejection from society.

Both shows take a sober, respectful look at brother-sister incest romances, and take the conflicting feelings seriously. Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru is just an OVA, so the characters are less developed, and unfortunately it has an "read the manga" ending. Koi Kaze is one cour TV and adds an age gap on top of the incest. Neither of the shows is fan service pandering or has ecchi elements, yet both deal with actual sex between the lovers. In Koi Kaze the male is torn and suffering and the female is fueling their romance towards physical love, in Boku wa imouto it's the other way around. read more 

Both about brother and sister falling in love. Although koi kaze has less nudity and feels more like reality. Also, the age difference between characters is larger. 

Both deal with the issue of incest between siblings. Both anime show the struggles of brother and sister as they realize their budding feelings for each other and how they realize the consequences of their actions but ultimately they succumbed to their feelings. 

Yep if you watch it without knowing the topic of this go ahead. Saying this yep they turn out how how it begins to seem and both are actually quality anime's too which makes it worse. 

Yosuga no sora is better in music(like another level), Koi kaze is has better character development which is slow and gradual. Both are incestous relationship with open ending. But Follow different tyoes of protagonist. But both end up with same resolution. Koi kaze took time to make the protagonist sure about his feelings. And YnS took those episode to depict the actual sadness. (No one has right to demote yosuga no sora without watching the complete anime) 

The old school art and serious vibe immediately link the two Masterpieces. Both main characters, Satou and Koshiro share similar habits and inner turmoil. This ranges from smoking, badgered clothing and unkempt/unshaven appearance, and accumulating garbage and tissues around their residence, as well as the psychological ramifications of their predicament and the societal acceptance, or lack thereof. Both share comparable female's in Misaki and Nanoko, who are fairly younger and intrude in the MC's life as love interests out of the blue, but with a predetermined goal in mind. Both MC have reservations from pursuing their love interests, albeit for different reasons, yet both divulge into guilty fantasising and getting off in misery to the tempational vixens, which they know are beyond their reach. Both MC share an Older Acquaintance , Hitomi "Senpai" and Chidori respectively, who get in the way of their love interest. All these characters dance around the edges of committing suicide, and in nearly identical settings to boot. There are endless similarities between the 2 Giants, and if you liked one you WILL like the other. read more 

Both sets of protagonists, or couples rather, are socially inept, naive, aimless wanderers with disjointed families. In addition both use their relationships to straighten themselves out and reintegrate into society. While in NHK our protagonist are already outcasts and fully detached from society, in Koi Kaze you witness that transformation happen first hand. Both these shows are excellent examples of the social standard. 

Before you check my recommendation, check SlickDragon's; everything he said is completely spot on. First, let me immediately say that both these shows are some of my absolute favorite I've come across in the anime medium. If you want bittersweet psychological dramas (emphasis on the bitter), then you've found your shows! Koi Kaze and Welcome to the NHK both specialize in what I'd like to call the "quintessential hopeless and aimless societal outcasts" archetype. Each put their own spin on it, but this is the main focus of these two shows which drives their drama and protagonists' predicaments. Both Satou and Koushirou are bound by unconventional desires and vices that have curtailed them from achieving what a conventionally well-adjusted individual might consider a healthy and normal lifestyle. Both protagonists, whether justified or not, eventually divulge into morally questionable acts to fulfill their sexual desires. Both protagonists arise suspicion from people they regularly talk to of being an outcast or socially inept. As for their differences, Welcome to the NHK is black comedy and drama while Koi Kaze is almost entirely drama-focused and sprinkled in with romance. Tonally, both shows are quite similar, hence why I recommend it, but I would say that Welcome to the NHK is interlaced with more lighthearted and comedic moments while Koi Kaze is unrelentingly serious. Both shows are equally excellent and, might I add, unrivaled in portrayal of a loss of hope in being able to re-integrate back into a society that does not accept who they are. Neither show asks for the viewer to wholeheartedly accept that the protagonist is a great individual and that society is somehow wrong in viewing these folks in a somewhat negative light, however, both these shows do ask for some sympathy from the viewer to truly try to understand and have compassion for what eventually lead these protagonists to their ruin.  read more 

Transexuality and incest; two topics that, whenever used in anime, tend to be "humoristically" depicted. In Koi Kaze and Wandering Son, however, the subjects are explored in incredibly serious and mature manners, turning both shows into must-sees for those who've grown tired of the kind of shows previously mentioned.  

Both series adopt a very mature mentality when dealing with socially taboo topics and situations, remarkably conveying the hardships and challenges that the characters in each face as expectations and social norms step in to confront the concepts in a vivid and disturbingly real manner. They are both very character driven stories and carry a degree of emotional impact that is not forced but softly portrayed and carefully presented. 

Both handle complicated social concepts is a very mature manner. They tell a concrete story, but leave the verdict of whether the actions characters take are ultimately right or wrong up to the viewer. Outside of the expressive minimalist art style the two share, what struck me the most about both of these is the use of silence in sound design. Both of these shows have a lot of scenes in which there's sparse music and dialogue, creating this personal, uncomfortable, and awkward feeling that greatly works to the shows' advantage. 

Same story of an office worker who is dumped by a woman and meets a high school girl, who comes to live in his house. The thing is that in Koi Kaze this girl is in fact his sister. 

Almost identical 

For its dramatic content of everyday life 

Both series contain the theme of love that is presented in a more mature and realistic way than typical romance series. In other words, both series are serious love stories that are not the typical puppy crush or love at first sight types. Both series has many emotional moments but also some comedy moments as the main protagonist deals with the feelings he has for the main female character. Both series are sober and built on drama as well as guilt that presents romance in a mature way.  

Both deal with the relationship between an older than usual male lead and much younger female relative. 

At first, I couldn't figure out why Koi Kaze (KK) and Usagi Drop (UD) felt so similar in my mind. I gave it some thought and here's what I came up with. Both KK and UD have very strong (and cute) female main characters. Rin (UD) is very well behaved for being 6 and Nanoka (KK) is extremely emotionally mature for being 16. This creates an interesting atmosphere where their interactions with the other characters are a bit socially skewed. I read the UD manga afterwards and didn't find the ending that surprising at all. In many ways, Rin and Nanoka are "perfect" family members. Rin is always so helpful, making breakfast and Nanoka is super supportive of her brother. They are both very sweet characters. Music and artwork are very well done in both. The emotional moments are incredibly well done in terms of artwork and music in both. The biggest difference between UD and KK is the portrayal of men. Daikichi (UD) is a role model single father. On the other hand, in KK, most of the men (Koshiro, Zenzo, Odagiri) have serious personal issues. UD generally has a positive atmosphere where there is always an impeding feeling of sadness in KK. If this doesn't put you off too much, you should give the other a try. If you enjoy the emotional moments and like Rin or Nanoka, you will probably enjoy the other. read more 

Age gap romance anime well made. If you think Koi wa Ameagari is doing it well, then you'll sure think the same about Koi Kaze - and the same thing the other way around. Both deal with age gap love in a mature way, making sure to present the problems age gap couples may face without fetishizing or being silly about it. Koi Kaze deals with the theme in a more hardcore way, since there's not only the age gap taboo, but also incest. Both are very melancholic, but Koi wa Ameagari no you ni is lighter since there's a slight comedy in the middle of the rollercoaster drama.  read more 

Koi Kaze and After the Rain both deal with a relationship that can be seen as taboo. After the rain deals with a high school girl who falls in love with her noticeably older manager at work. Koi Kaze also deals with this age difference, but also adds a blood relationship between the couple to create drama. After the Rain focuses on the female protagonist, Tachibana, while Koi Kaze focuses on the male protagonist, Koshiro. While After the Rain is a more lighthearted and comfy show, Koi Kaze delves into the taboo aspects of the relationship and approaches a more realistic and dramatic take. 

Koi Kaze is like the Intellectual and Elite version of Ore no Imouto, which it certainly influenced. However Chidori is a vastly superior version of Manami, and in Koi Kaze the main characters actually have guts to stand by their feelings even without having a firm plan to solve the inevitable problems. The realistic and dramatic portrayal is much in line with reality, as opposed to the Harem Esque and more mainstream OreImo. While Koi isn't as pleasing as OreImo visually (unless you are fond of the Unparalleled NHK), it tackles the Elephant in the room exponentially better. 

Both are WOEFULLY and CRIMINALLY underrated GEMS that deal with siblings who live together after not knowing each other for over a decade. Masterful and realistic romance anime that share the sibling sub genre. Main difference is the male MC, where Koi Kaze has a very realistic and flawed lead Koshiro, and Onegai Twins has a stellar and truly beautiful lead in Maiku that all other romance/harem anime male leads should envy. Both are MUST WATCH worthy, and are leaps and bounds better than their low 7 ratings and are actually some of the BEST anime for their genre ever created. 

Both deal with the taboo of relationships. They get into the mental state of the character very deep. They are also both masterpieces in the to be even able to create these emotions to words. Watch them if you don't mind taboo topics.  

Both deal with "forbidden" love on the surface but are much more than than that. Both are deep and intricate psychological studies about realistically portrayed people on a journey of self discovery through the "lens" of the affections they have with each other. Both are very subtle introspective shows with strong direction. Both share the same slightly muted color palette. 

Everything begins as a simple affection between brothers, there are differences, but those differences were the ones that made them sin. In these two animes we see how they relate, knowing their strengths and weaknesses, and wanting more than brothers. Always with the doubt of what is right and in the end letting oneself be led by those errors that bring you happiness. 

Both series focus on strongly taboo relationships that have arisen as side effects of childhood emotional traumas. Koi Kaze is more complete as an anime; if you are intregued by Kodomo, then please do read the manga (93 chapters), it covers the subject mater much more deeply than the anime.
