These two are so similar that the OreImo cast made a 'from behind' cameo appearance, in episode 11 of Boku.
Kirino and Sena are the same character... breasts aside. Their spoiled princess attitudes, erotic game addiction, prideful arrogance getting in the way of friendship and fangs are NEARLY IDENTICAL. What's more, Kuroneko and Yozora ALSO MIRROR EACH OTHER--sharing 'bickering love' friendships with K&S respectively. They argue CONSTANTLY when together, oblivious to the how similar their personalities are. The only difference of note in the relationships between the shows is that Yozora clearly has the upper hand against Sena--often forcing her to run away, crying. THERE'S EVEN A GUY IN THE LOVE-TRI MIDDLE, IN BOTH SHOWS!
The episodic content is VERY familiar, also: making friends is central to Boku's story but even OreImo had an episode about trying to make friends. And both shows deal heavily with otaku/gaming jokes.
• Both have similar art styles
• Both have similar characters
• Both involve gaming, cute girls gaming.
The art is similar and both have many things is common.
The constant fighting between Yozora and Sena remind me a lot to Kirino and Kuroneko (and the personalities are also similar, as the fanaticism that Kirino and Sena have for the eroge).
In short, if you like "OreImo" you'll like "Boku wa Tomodachi..." as well.
Similar comedic formats (one male straight man, two females who argue constantly but are united in harassing the guy)
Also, similar themes about being true to yourself and learning to accept your own quirks.
Same animation style, both really funny and comical
sibling relationships, playing eroge
* 1 main male character
* 2 main female characters, one with dark and one bright colored hair
* they play video games
* the girls aren't very good friends at the beginning
Both involve girls who are obsessed with eroge and want friends. Also have similar characters.
Both animes are made by AIC Build. Also, in both animes, there is moe, a girl who likes ero-games, a girl who dresses in gotchic lolita dress no matter what weather, and a otaku girl who wears glasses.
Both are also seinen series, and have harem in them.
Similar comedy style and both series have a girl obsessed with eroge.
Both animes try to address certain problems in today's society. Oreimo deals with the problem of being an otaku while Haganai focuses on the issue of making friends. While neither are particularly educational, they both offer hilarious moments and sometimes emotional moments.
Very similar in art styles and in episode 11 of boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai there is an appearence of the characters from ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai.
-Similar character personalities
-Recurring eroge theme
There are some jokes/allusions to OreImo within the series.
I really like both animes.
In both you'll find a male main character that is surrounded by a lot of girls. One difference here is that Boku wa Tomodachi also includes younger girls that couldnt't be in a relationship with the main actor. Also there is no brother/sister love story, like you can see it in Ore no Imouto, especially later on in the story.
And still with have two girls with Sena and Yozora that seem quiet related to Kirino and Kureneko. Their relationship is the same and both want something from the main character. Also Rika fits Manami somehow..
So as you can see also from the other comments, both series got a different storyline but have many characters that are familiar.
Both the artwork and cast, especially the cast, are very similar. For example, Sena and Kobato are practically IDENTICAL to Kirino and Kuroneko and they end up in fights as well. In addition, both shows make references to other anime and have brother complex and eroge too so if you liked one, then be sure to check the other one out!
They have a similar feeling due to the video games and the awkward moments.
If you enjoyed Ore no Imouto Konnani Wake ga Nai and wish to find something similar to this anime, I suggest Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai. It is about the heroine and protagonist wanting to learn how to make friends so they create a club called "The Neighbors Club" which is about learning how to socialize to make friends and to make friends within the club. Quite similar to the conflict that the heroine in OreImo faces and both animes include that of otaku hobbies as well as have a character who's name is Sena. =)
(and they are both into games that feature homoge, eroge, galge, etc.)

In both anime a 'perfect' girl hides her anime-otaku hobby and is discovered by the male protagonist (Nogizaka: classmate, OreImo: Brother) who will support her and start exploring the subculture.
Both feature girls with outwardly perfect lives who hide their otaku hobby from family and friends. Both of them eventually outwardly embrace their hobby.
Both have otaku female leads with male leads that try to protect their secret hobby. In Ore no Imouto, this is carried out by the brother while in Nogizaka, it is carried out by a "guy"
Both are about a girl that is living a secret otaku life
A popular school idol hides her otaku hobbies, which a normal boy finds out. They spend most of the show hiding this secret and doing various otaku activities. Haruka has a romance element that OreImo is lacking, but they're pretty similar shows.
both lead female protagonists are otakus who must keep their obsession a secret from their family
When you cross Seto no Hanayome (minus the mermaids of course) with Ore Imo, you get exactly Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu.
Both Oreimo and Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu have the idol-like female who wields good looks, talent, and many fans. However, they have a dirty little otaku secret that is discovered by the male lead. The male lead promises to not only keep their otaku side a secret, but to support them as well. Oreimo lacks the romance aspect Haruka no Himitsu has, however.
-Both involve girls who are popular but are secretly considered otakus.
-Both involve a love relationship, although one is sibling love while the other is more of a romantic "development".
Both series adapts the theme of a young girl who is into anime despite being cute, admirable, and popular at school. She tries to keep it a secret from others besides the main protagonist in the series who knows about her hobby.
Both series' protagonists has a strange relationship but does get along well on occasions.
Both series are lighthearted that has romance, comedy, drama, and similar themes.
They are largely similar in many ways, except Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu has a romantic theme while Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai is not (or is it?), not much to say about this one, if you like one you should like the other.
Similar situation of the whole otaku business. Both are funny however Nogizaka is more of a rom-com then just a comedy
The main girl is a "closet otaku", she need help of a boy for hidden her secret.
in oreimo, the main girl is "tsundere". In Nogizaka the main girl is "princess-dandere", both have a lots of Fan-service, but Nogizaka is more ecchi than fan-service.
Both female leads are trying to hide the fact that they are otaku's from the others and they end up being discovered by the main guy leads that are voiced by the same actor. Both female leads have more than enough money difference is one tsundere and the other one is shy and kind

Male protagonist and storyteller, while the story is actually about a tsundere girl who walks over them and terrorises them. Both guys are cynical and comical, without them realising it.
Feature relatively over-expressive heroine with unbeatable attitude, and those dragged around by her.
Bossy girl drags some average male protagonist unwillingly into (insert random hijinks of the week.)
Both animes got a male lead who does everything for the bitchy girl (sister/friend). Ummm, don't really know what more to say. The are very much alike so if you like one of them, check the other out. =)
Both animes star an energetic, near-perfect female lead character who is both lovable and annoyingly confident at the same time with a laid-back male lead character to pick up the destruction in her wake. Though the events in the animes primarily revolve around the female lead, the story is seen from the male lead's point of view.
The protagonists in both series are extremely talents in everything they do - whether it's studies, sports, or learning new things.The personality for both character are also similar - close to the tsundere archetype (though Kirino is not as dere-dere). The male leads are both caring and responsible figures, but they both have to endure the hardships imposed by the female leads.
Both have bossy Heroines, and make the main male character do whatever they say. Kyon is Haruhi's bitch. and Kyousuke is Kirino's bitch as well.
Both shows are about a super-talented but rather bossy girl who always gets what she wants. The only difference is that Kirino can be quite a bitch, while Haruhi often proves to be an idiot.

Both characters love to play video games that have to deal with girls
Both are mainly focus on Dating Sim game/Visual Novel
Main character in each is deeply interested in adults game and tend to distinguish 2D and 3D world clearly
Both are about games, little sisters and the art is similar.
You would enjoy it, if you liked the other one too.
Both are comedies which feature an otaku who is addicted to dating games as a main character.
Both animes have a main character that is obsessed with anime and galge.
Both animes have a character who is absolutely obsessed with eroge games.
Both main characters love games and in ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wakamga nai Ayumi's voice actor in kami nomi zo shiru sekai is the main character!

Both are about otaku girls and their friends and family- though there's more drama in OreImo, and Lucky Star is a lot more easy going
Both are about female otaku & how her friends/family feel about their hobby
The protagonist is a otaku, The difference is that it if supported
If you are looking for a similar show about otaku culture, this is it. Whether it's to laugh at the main character's obsession with the hobby or secretly envy the devotion, just having enough "knowledge" to watch her (Kirino/Konata's) actions and understand them makes it a fun experience. However, their paths along this nerdy road are quite different so it's also nice to look at it from the perspective of someone who has the support of most of his friends and family and one who doesn't really have to courage to come out. Lots of references, tackling of shady subjects of pop culture and great supporting characters.
otaku girls and their friends, families, and hobbies

A story about a determined protagonist who has to take care of a rude but at the same time weak girl with a tsundere personality. It also has the potential to turn into a real drama.
Same characters...Same graphic and also both of them are really funny
they are both hilarious both have their own sense of comedy
Both tell the story of a blue-haired high schooler and his attempts to help his shorter tsundere friend/sister learn to become more open and develop friendships. Romance and comedy aplenty. Not quite as many 'otaku' in-jokes, but still thoroughly enjoyable.
Both have a tsundere leading a caring, live in male who assists them with tasks that they may not want others to know about.
Ryuji and the brother are very similar.

- Both a story about a brother and sister where one wants an incestuous relationship
- It's not as blatant, but the art is similar as is the storyline
- Incest relationship without harem
Brother-sister incest is the topic of both titles, although OreImo takes a more calm and quasi-serious approach while OniAi is almost exclusively comedy and fanservice. Both involve the pressing question of whether fiction is indeed separate from reality (Kirino's eroge and Akito's novels). Both also feature other girls who, together with the younger sister, form some degree of a harem. Kirino and Akiko are also similar in their iconic perverted-ness.
Both animes follow the concept of little sisters. Though the little sister's personality is flipped in Onii.
Many people may find Onii to be less enjoying compared to the mass favourited Oreimo. You can sense some kind of weird incest sh*t goin on in the title already.
BUT some others can find incest enjoying in anime, therefore you may find the romance you want between the sibling leads that you did not find in Oreimo.
Instead of a conflict and tension between siblings , Oniai is the opposite, the little sister is in love with her brother. while in Ore no Imouto ; the little sister pretty much hates her brother I think. Anyways I think if you like Ore no Imouto you're gunna like this anime.

Embracing the otaku culture, having life counseling concerning it and other crazy stuff. OreImo just faces more on the girly romance side while NHK ni Youkoso tackles things that a hikkikomori does and what they think are true "conspiracies"
Ore no Imouto => Welcome to the NHK
Both have Otaku issues integrated and dealt in the story. While OreImo is more light and focus more in the setting, NHK has a more psychological, personal and dark takes.
They both deal with "otaku" culture. However, OreImo is more on the humorous and light side, while Welcome to the NHK! is darker and more realistic. Both are comedic, though.
1. Otaku facing society.
2. Involves counseling or helping out one another.
(Note: WTT NHK is darker and more realistic than Oreimo.)
Both reference otaku culture a lot and involve the character getting help and counseling. OreImo is definitely more light and NHK is more psychological. They both are pretty funny though, if you like otaku humor.

Two anime with prospectively the most epic titles are all about incest.
OreImo is about a younger sister and her friends trying to get into an older brother's pants, or at least that what we wish to see in the show.
Non-OreImo which I don't know the official abbreviation of its title is written by former erotic manga writer. Story isn't its strongest suit, unique art direction in manga is non-existent in anime but you are still suggested to watch this if you loved OreImo. They both linked together by incest.
Gee what is up with the incest in anime lately?
Well Lets see.. They both have that "incest" Vibe to it. Although, I do think that OreImo Has a more sensible relationship between the siblings and actually has some sort of story. Onii-Chan no Koto goes abit overboard with the whole Incest thing. Also, it's animation is abit... Strange? OreImo Revolves around the relationship of the brother and sister and the whole otaku culture. Where as Onii-Chan no Koto revolves around more sexual jokes, stronger incest content and this strange harem. Personally, I enjoyed OreImo more than Onii-Chan no Koto, But im sure if you liked one, you may enjoy the other.
Both have REALLY long titles
Both have potential incestuous relationship between brother and sister
Both deal with "sibiling" relationships, and trust me both are really good!!

One of the main characters is a blond-haired, blue-eyed middle school girl who really likes a particular magical girl show whose main character has pink twin-tails to the point of vaguely implied shoujo-ai on the part of the fangirl. The plots of each series are completely different, but it's an odd enough similarity that I think it's worth mentioning.
One of the main characters is 14 years old energetic blond female otaku that is obsessed about one particiular magical girl anime
both anime are good comedy with elements of parody
Kirino from OreImo and Kyouko from Yuru Yuri are quite similar in appearance and they both claim themselves as otaku.
Both anime's have a girl in it who is obsessed with an anime and an anime character in particular. This character has pink twintails in both of the anime's.
Both have a magical anime witch girl with pink twintails in it from a children's anime. OreImo was Meruru, while YuruYuri has Mirakurun.

Blue haired character helping orange haired character, orange haired character helping blue haired character. Characters share a similar sort of 'love-hate' relationship.

Both will hit you harder if you happen to be an older brother yourself. If you felt resemblance between you and your little sister's and that of Kyousuke and Kirino Kousaka, I'd highly recommend this, but you'll still want to watch Bakemonogatari first.
Similar older brother themes. As an older brother myself, I can relate heavily to both of these. Both of these (and Bakemonogatari) are in my all time favorite shows.
Self-proclaimed sister haters that would sooner die then let them get hurt.
|
|
|
In both series the MC takes an older brother/guardian type role for a cute girl(s). There is a focus on overcoming obstacles as a family and a light sense uncle/bro-con (crush) in both also.
They both have the happy-go-lucky, cheerful air about them. Cute characters with sweet storylines make for enjoyable shows, and both Papa no Iukoto and Ore no Imouto have that! Lots of laughs and touching moments.
|
|
|
It gives the same way of feeling and have a similar view on the sex; what's more the main chars both are crazy are a little bit insane and a boy is shy and don't know what he exactly want.
In both series main characters are girls who have some kind of specific problems.
I can even say that they both are of tsundere type.
In fact, they're alike in physical appearance.
And those girls have complicated relationships with male main characters who are ordinary guys in general.
|
|
|
Both anime about sister and brother. In both anime main girl protagonist voiced by Ayana Taketatsu. But there is lewd content in Kiss x Sis.
Both incestual ecchi ;__;
|
|
|
Both feature main characters who are otaku, and deal on some level with the issues surrounding their hobbies.
Both are about female otaku of same kind that has to hide her hobby for some reason
|
|
|
Both involve characters with "frowned upon" hobbies, where these hobbies not only help them make friends, but also helps them become closer with siblings.
Both female characters love their "brothers".
|
|
|
characters who conceal their hobbies and interests by doing "normal" activities such as athletics
Both of them deal with hiding a secret passion of "special" Likes from the rest of Society
Also both have a "Dark Power" Character, if i shall call it like this
Also both are Comedy and Slice of Life Animes
|
|
|
Both have a similar animation, and both storylines have to do with a heroine who's embarrassed by her hobby or job ^^
|
|
|
The protagonists intially reject their Otaku nature through fear of ridicule.
First of all, both of these series contain the theme of otaku and its life style. It is a hobby in both series and a way of life.
These two series also contain drama, comedy, and presented in a way that is influenced by the culture of otaku. Both series also has a strange cast of characters of stark personalities that makes the story fluid and enjoyable.
|
|
|
Both shows illustrate how a guy whose life is going nowhere get exciting due to a girl (or girls). Both shows show said guy doing some pretty ridiculous things for said girl(s).
But be aware of (long title)'s strange brother-sister complex. It's not incest, but it gets uncomfortably close a couple of times.
|
|
|
Involves a girl hiding her life in a maid cafe. Similar them but Kaichou wa Maid-sama! has a lot more romance!
|
|
|
Imagine it like this.Kuroneko(the character from oreimo) got her own anime or lives her own anime and it is called Tsukuyomi moon phase.If you liked Kuroneko this is for you.The main character looks like Kuroneko,talks like her,acts like her etc...You can expect a lot of gothic vampire lolitas in that anime.The biggest difference is perhaps that Tsukuyomi is a more action/romance/comedy oriented anime.
|
|
|
The main girl character and main boy character are a lot like Kirino and Kyousuke.
The main girl character even has the same voice actress as Kirino.
The main character girl tries to help the boy character.
There personalities are so similar it's creepy.
|
|
|
Someone will probably give me hell for making this comparison, but they both have a relate-able main character who goes out of his way to help a (few) girl(s) with their problems, a tsundere female lead who undergoes a surprising amount of character development, and it would also seem both main characters share an... interesting relationship with their little sister(s, in Araragi's case), although I haven't seen Nisemonogatari yet. Both shows also seem to occupy that odd space between a harem and non-harem series, with Oreimo standing extremely close to the harem side and Bake taking a similar spot across from it.
Oreimo's strength lies in the development of it's characters, while Bakemonogatari has a generally more likeable (but less developed) cast and a decent story (although Oreimo really didn't need one). Bakemonogatari is definitely the better of the two, but if you enjoyed one of them, you will probably enjoy them both.
Also of note: Bake has one absolutely godly ending theme and several great openings while Oreimo has one nearly-as-godly opening and several endings (which I didn't really find special).
|
|
|
the main characters are both clueless, about the girls that like them it's also a great laugh with similar problems.
|
|
|
Both have a very similar humor style, though both shows actually have more serious elements to them despite being comedies. Both seem to be a bit more suited to more adult audiences though, if you dont mind a little fanservice and cheeky humor then you cant go wrong with either of these.
|
|
|
Both anime are pretty laid back, slice of life anime.
If you loved Azusa, her voice actress, Taketatsu Ayana is the heroine in the Ore no Imouto series.
|
|
|
Both anime deal with problems regarding family relationship. If you enjoyed Usagi Drop, i'm sure you can enjoy Ore no Imouto too.
|
|
|
While the setting is completely different the dynamic between the two main characters is quite the same (girl hostile, treating the boy as a slave, boy acting kind, caring and protective for the people around them, even though being annoyed by getting treated like that).
Also the development of their relationship and the relationships around them shows a lot of similarities (recognizing the true feelings towards each other, making friends together, watching out for each other and so on). The people they make friends with are different and not comparable, though.
It feels quite the same when watching these two animes.
|
|
|
They both have some character development and a similar story like the relationship between brother and sister.OreImo is much more fun then the Canvas 2.C2 can be little dramatic some time.
|
|
|
Both deal with the problems of otaku (in the true sense of the word). I think both of them are terrible, terrible anime, but If you enjoyed one you'll probably like the other, so don't mine my opinion, and give it a try.
|
|
|
Both had original anime endings that weren't a part of the source material and later released OVAs that continued the story from the manga (Tsubasa) and lights novels (Ore no Imouto).
|
|
|
Not much alike but in both have a girl causing problems to the protagonist and the characters Yamada Aoi and Gokou Ruri are a lot alike.
|
|
|
Both satisfy your incest needs, which in turn decrease crime and possibly make world a better place.
Ore-Imo is possibly one of the highest-profile suggestive sister incest anime ever produced.
Candy Boy positioning is a girl romance, but it's happen to be highly incestuous since both heroine are blood-related. Shortest description for prospective audience is lesbian with incest fantasies. But yes men watch this, lots of them.

Similarities:
Both lead male characters were unlucky enough to partner up their lead female characters who were a pain in their ass.
Both lead male character are compelled to do the lead female characters bid or at least get them out of a bad situation.
Both lead male characters were once caught by mistake of being on top of their lead female characters.
Dissimilarities:
One is the sister of the lead male character while the other just pop out of no where (I just like saying that) and just appeared in front of the lead male character .
One is a comedy/ harem while the other is a comedy/harem/supernatural/ with a bit of drama.
The lead female character in "Oreimo" is a otaku and a b**** while the other lead female character in "Kannagi" is a Prima donna and a fumbling deity.
Finally, If I can have it my way,I would really like whoop Kirino's ass for being a bitchy brat against his brother and I would love to hit Nagi's head with a rolled up newspaper.
|
|
|
-Both female leads are tsunderes.
-In Oreimo, the male lead is hardly involved in the life of his sister until he discovers her secret, and then he ends up supporting her and saving her on multiple occasions even though in the beginning she would have never imagined that he would do that.
Similarly, in Ookamisan, the female lead had the male lead pegged as a coward and never once considered that he might be the one supporting her and saving her, but he surprises her by proving her wrong.
-Both are comedies about high schoolers.
|
|
|
If you're looking for deep and believeable characters, go for those two. Ef is pretty serious and OreImo's a comedy, but both are good-looking, involve some great voice acting and are surprisingly enjoyable.
|
|
|
When I saw the episode 0 of "Boku wa Tomodachi ..." reminded me a lot to "OreImo".
Perhaps because there are "girls gamers", and art is a bit like, not counting the confrontation between the two heroines: Sena / Yozora (Boku wa Tomodachi) and Kirino / Kuroneko (OreImo)
So, if you liked "OreImo" you'll probably like "Boku wa Tomodachi ...".
|
|
|
Both have female characters with interests in Eroge. They also both have girls that wish to create a successful eroge, though it is out of the norm, being they are female.
|
|
|
Both animes have a main character that is obsessed with anime and galge.
