Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

'Teen Romantic Comedy Gone Wrong', or whatever typically long-winded light novel jibberish 'Yahari Ore' translates into shows all the signs of being Boku Friendship DONE RIGHT. As another user noted with their recommendation, Boku Friendship gradually turns into something of a full-on ecchi harem fest. Unlike Yahari, Boku wa started out as purely lighthearted rom-com fluff--causing later developments that expand on previously 1D comic relief characters to be awkward & its lead's turn towards a more... emo stance coming across unnaturally. Yahari one-upped this by presenting its characters as humans with relatable social difficulties from the get-go whilst still retaining sharp, witty dialogue. Instead of, say, a blonde Japanese guy everyone assumes is a thug without talking to him & a blonde American-tit'd #1 school idol that refers to herself as a Goddess and has men kneeling before her at will, Yahari presents a dysfunctional lead trio, consisting of: a misanthrope lead pushed away from social contact by rejection, a beautiful girl well aware that her physical beauty causes others problems & an average 'TRYING TO FIT IN' girl--her attempts to climb the social ladder being illustrated nicely in ep2. While it's true that Yahari still leans more on the side of fantasy than reality with its 1x loner guy x2 beautiful girls in an empty club premise, the set-up/presentation/illustration of social woes is executed much better than in most other similar works. Paint me impressed!  read more 

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. read more 

For whatever reason, this didn't hit me until I watched the first episode of Tomodachi's second season but there's a SUPER OBVIOUS linking factor to be found between these two: - Crazy bitches/galpals in a small school clubroom. - One crazy bitch/galpal bullying the other in a "friendly" way. - The male lead quickly becoming indifferent to the chaos surrounding himself; going with the flow due to being smart enough to know that it's pointless to either resist or intervene. (Instead, it's OBVIOUSLY better to commentate to the viewers with his internalized thoughts about what's going on.) I suppose the whole love triangle thing is worth noting, as well... although it's only REALLY a love-tri in Tomodachi since the situation is far more competitive and up in the air compared to what's offered by Haruhi. ...oh, and the losers of the love-tri, according to the first girl rule, both have HUGE TITTIES!!!!! Fan-service. YES. read more 

Both are school-comedies where the main male character is dragged into a not-so-ordinary club. Also, I find Chitose sorta like Yozora with her slightly violent personality, Kenji a bit like Kodaka and Takao to be like Sena (she is wayyy better than her though) Also Kenji acts like a delinquent, same as Kodaka. Both are funny and lovable. 

Lead male complained and avoided by his delinquent appearance but a nice guy in the inside, also both live alone with a naive and not completely independent female whom they care while doing the housekeeping. They both also interact with a set of ladies in an institute environment.  

Both of these stories are about people who have problems making what can be concidered a true friendships with each other because of some sort of social stigma that they themselves place, or someone else does. The art style is also very simular. 

Both has : -Harem -Love triangle -Similar feeling/Situations -Childhood friendships - Comedy and Romance -Unique funny characters Differences : -Boku wa Tomodachi is more ecchi -Nisekoi has more romance. 

Anime that feature clubs that to normal students serves no purpose but for the actual club members serves as a place to belong. Both Anime also have a nice style. 

Both are about club activities with 1 guy and multiple girls. 

Both have a guy and girl starting a club together that starts to grow, both clubs have more girls than guys, and they are both romantic anime 

Haganai and oreshura incorporate light-hearted humor in the daily interactions of the male lead with the main female characters. Due to joining a certain club, the male lead slowly discovers that he is placed in a situation where several girls are fighting to determine who will be his love interest. Drama ensures. 

Same inappropriate humor. Both male characters were forced into the club. One male with many females around him.  

Similarities: linda-yozora tada banri- kodaka The story of these anime are the same, its all about a childhood friend and friendship.  

The theme of a club at school with its members doing random activities to pass their time is present in both series. Both series' main male protagonist are surrounded by a group of characters who all have their own personalities and adds fun/drama to the series. Both series' main female protagonist/president has a strange personality that often gets into weird moments with the main male protagonist. There seems to be a lack of plot present in both series but rather follows what the club's activities in their every day lives. There is also a lot of comedy present in both series.  

Both have this little group of people who do activities together, Both has quite a bit of ecchi in them (some more in Noucome though). The story and character development are really good in both animes, and both will give you a good laugh :p. 

Clubs, high school, slice of life, romance. Both are about people trying to get along with each other. Both are love triangle anime Kokoro Connect is supernatural, Boku wa Tomodachi is ecchi, Both are flippin good. 

They both prominently feature characters that are social pariah's and are unpopular. They are also both about making friends. 

Both of these are School Life and Slice of life anime, as well as comedies. Both of the main male characters try to fit in in their new school. Both anime have a lot of pretty funny situations, and the story is really interesting. The animation and art style are both really good, too. 

When it comes down to it, these are basically the same show. Male character is scorned by the school population in general, so he joins a vaguely-purposed club populated by mostly girls. Fanservice, romantic tension, and hilarity ensue. Several of the characters have rough analogues between the two shows: Yuuta = Kodaka Mio = Sena Arashiko = Yozora Tatsuki = Yukimura Noa = Rika 

MC is in a school club where he is the only male member. All the female members of the club have feelings for him. 

In order to make friends, one has to socialise. To do that, one has to go outside. But in order to go outside, one has to leave their comfort zone, opening up to the world. Both stories work when viewed succession, as it follows the struggles of all of the above statements. While Welcome to the NHK follows Tatsuhiro Sato, a college dropout who cannot leave his comfort zone and go outside, Haganai, follows Kodaka Hasegawa who stuggles to socialise and make friends. Even though both characters are completely different, they can still be related to in some ways. Both anime series have lasting appeal with comedic elements - especially in the English-language versions - and beautiful animation for the time periods they were released. You will not be disappointed by the fitting soundtrack or the execution of the storylines, even if Haganai's storyline is considered a little cliche. read more 

In both series, it revolves a club with special activities. However, these activities usually are not so typical with school related ideas. Otherwise, Natsuo and Sena both have some similarities as being popular but also at times insecure and has a strange fascination in their minds. On the other hand, Yozora and Riko are considered tomboys and has a strange interaction with their club members. There is many fun gags from both series and among other things...catchy dialogues, humor, and randomness. Both series also takes place at a school life setting.  

Both shows involve a lot of similar comedy tropes and have a similar approach to humor/ecchi gags. The settings are different but I'd imagine that if you like one you'll probably like the other. 

Both anime are harems and rom-coms. Still, Haganai is much funnier and much better than Masamune-kun. Both anime have karaoke scenes, pool/beach episodes, the rich girl, the feminine guy, MC's little sister and fanservice. 

MC is the only male in a school club full of women who all hold affections for him. Hijinks ensue. 

The story about group of socially awkward people that trying to make friends. 

i can't believe that no one recommend this !!! haganai is like the spin off of Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata in a way !! the neighboursclub ---> the doujin circle sena ---> Eriri Spencer yozora ----> Kasumigaoka, Utaha Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata is the story where kodaka would be an otaku  

Both are great Dramas with multiple girls liking the MC. Both MC's are outcast from most of their classmates for either wanting to keep cats in the school dorms where it is strictly prohibited or because their hair makes them look like a delinquent. Both find peace and tranquility... cough cough, that's what they were hoping but no, they both end up with madness all around them. Difference is in Sakurasou, the MC makes up his mind between the girls whereas in Tomadachi he doesn't 

Misha looks like a younger version of Sena, I couldn’t stop thinking that. I haven’t seen Haganai in years but Rika and the trap could fuse to physically become the pedophila predator I forgot her name. Hope this persuasive and well thought out recommendation interests you!!1!  

Both titles: - are novel adaptation - are harem/romance/comedy/school/slice of life genre witch ecchi elements - include scenes from perspective of character's video game avatar's - one way or another include gender bending ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) - have quite similiar cast like girl with social problems and an popular otaku kamidere - in both shows characters are forming particular club 

* Both are about a school club and making friends in the club. * Both have a basement in their club and attend it almost all the time. * Both have the same feeling and vibe to it. * Both will leave a very similar impression on you. * Both are erotic but Haganai is Ecchi and Genshiken is not. * Both have Otaku/Gamer characters. If you liked one, you'll definitely like the other, I have given both of them the same score. 

Main Protagonist is idiot in both anime because of that both anime is good comedy,romantic and harem in a good way. 

they're kind of similar. the guy in a group that consists of mostly girls, and most of the girls love him. 

These two are very different in concept, but they both have an extremely similar humor, centered around absurd scenarios, ecchi comedy, and character traits and personalities. They also share the theme of being largely school-based, but having many scenes that take place outside of school, as well. The male leads of both are quite different, but similar in the sense that they are misunderstood and strive to be normal, while being surrounded by strange females, who they feel the need to protect. Not to mention, both male protagonists have odd and overbearing little sisters with strong attachments to their brothers. 

Same feel. Protagonist surrounded by many girls, some with strange habits. Both have a "tsundere", "loli" and a girl with big boobs. 

-Similar theme of classmates bonding over video games primarily, though sometimes through other means such as group hangouts and field trips. -Learn life lessons and values of having friendships at school and outside class -Main guy in both starts out very antisociable from the way they grew up, though eventually see life in a better light and worth living -Builds up a group of friends with many girls, with not all being love interests so they aren't full Harems Hagani is a lot more Ecchi and over the top with comedy, while Tomozaki is more critical in its relationship building, yet both come with drama challenging some of their relationships.  read more 

If you want a nice school comedy, with some flavor of romance, these 2 are very similar in that sense. They differ, though, in that while in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun the relationships are all 1x1 and develop quite slowly, Haganai configures a Harem in which the girls all fight a cold war to win the main protagonist. 

we are presented with a bored, cynical, and generally unsociable male protagonist who is largely uninvolved with his high school life until his encounter with the eccentric female protagonist. Initially, both protagonists are reluctant to help, but continue to find themselves becoming more and more involved and even attached to the people he made friends with. 

Want to see more comedic situations involving a manipulative sadist (Yozora) messing with a perverted ditz (Sena) on a daily basis? If yes is your answer, then Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is the show for you!  

Both of these anime are funny and both relating to clubs. I can say Haganai is pretty under rated but it was really good. Each character has a different personality and just having them in one club is good. I recommend this if you want something quite similar to Oregairu. 

What the fuck lads; Purely comedy. I apologize if the offensive language is a bit too much. - It's ecchi; It is ecchi, and the vibe it has during those moments is similar though a bit more often and extreme in Shimoneta's case. - It's comedy; The comedy has a very similar atmosphere and style if you compare the two, though TomoHase has an abundance of non-ecchi comedy as compared to Shimoneta which comedy revolves completely around ecchi - It's Sci-Fi; It's a bit of a joke here, but it is kind of Sci-Fi. With the technology that Rika brings to the group every so often, and especially the remote-controlled balls-breaker balls at the end of Next. - It's Slice-Of-Life; It's definitely Slice-Of-Life and the best one out there in my opinion, though I believe it to be at least one of the best or at least a good Slice-Of-Life anime in the eyes of the general populace IF they can get past the connection of Catholicism and Churches with Ecchi, an abundance of sex jokes, and a particular seemingly inappropriate presentation of nuns of the Catholic church. - It's the Rika-race; This refers to Shimoneta as all their jokes are completely ecchi, which Rika often uses as her go-to medium for comedy - IT'S THE FRENCH REVOLUTION; Both series revolve around the fact that they're outcasts and going against society. In TomoHase's case it's going against the popular people and making true friends or just overthrowing the current popular populace, and in Shimoneta's case it's literally going against the government with on the case of the no-ecchi rule. What more could you ask for; Referring to the very close similarities of both of the series. What less could you ask of; Referring to the abundance of ecchi and especially in Shimoneta's case. Why wasn't this added; Really, why wasn't it? Look at the ecchi and the big boobies; Logical as both shows show ecchi and big boobs, though there is a lot of small and non-existent ones.  read more 

Both have a harem route (maybe), a male character who is contested by many women, besides this anime also has a good romance comedy. 

Both of these animes are feel good stories of highschool "social outcasts" attempting to make friends while each overcoming their own unique difficulties. Isshuukan friends focuses more on plot and character development while Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai has more comical/fanservice aspects mixed into it. Both are very good animes and i would highly recommend both of them. 

Similar plot: the two stories focus on a group of several characters, each having an unusual personality. These characters are all excluded from society. Thus, their goal is to become sociable and succeed in becoming "normal" people. Also, both series are slice of life anime and are heavily focused on humor. Expect a fair amount of sexual jokes while watching them. 

Gamers and Boku wa Tomodachi have a lot in common: [*] Romcom hinges on misunderstandings [*] all the girls are inexplicably drawn to MC [*] MC is typical clueless coward [*] Gaming/club themes as a thinly veiled premise [*] Occasional fanservice/filler episodes [*] school setting Neither show is new or unique, but if you're looking for a similar generic misunderstanding romcom, these shows are very similar 

Both are slice-of-life comedies that sometimes wander into more serious and emotional territory. They rely heavily on a group dynamic, which focuses on a couple members while the rest support. However, every character has a unique character design. Both series begin in a school setting with a new student and groups forming with a goal in mind, and they are eventually successful. 

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (or Haganai) and Kimi ni Todoke have similarities in which both shows focus on a character who lives a troubled school life where all of their classmates misunderstand them and eventually meet someone who changes their life. Through out both of these shows the main character learns true friendship and what it's like to have true friends. 

tired of violent, noisy and dramatic anime? try this "boku wa tomadachi ga sukunai" then after. Watch "hoshizora". both anime are relaxing, peaceful, and fun. 

I know this sounds totally ridiculous at first but hear me out -Both are about some sort of organization or club -The characters are very similar -Both display qualities of a harem anime yet don't feel like one because of their unique settings 

-The MC get trouble with scary eye (check) -Slice of life ( check) -Every day trouble (check) These two show is focusing on the MC get trouble because their eyes. The only different between these show is, Boukuwa tomodachi more focusing on making friend during school life and its was Male lead so you can say 'Bokuwa Tomodachi' is a harem anime Blend S, Anime where the young girl had trouble with people arround her because her scary eye. Basiclly Its same theme, about the different just worth it 

Similar plot: the two stories focus on a group of several characters, each having an unusual personality. These characters are all excluded from society. Thus, their goal is to become sociable and succeed in becoming "normal" people. Also, both series are slice of life anime and are heavily focused on humor. Expect a fair amount of sexual jokes while watching them. 

mc surrounded by girls at a school environment, he interacts with them an ultimately has to choose one for romantic purposes  

The characters and their personal struggle is the main resemblance of these animes. They are made for you to appreciate them as they are, with their imperfections, dreams, and weirdness. 

basically tsuruga and yozora are almost the same. both are childhood friends that's very precious to the protagonists and they reveal their identities at the end of the series.  

Harem atmosphere and heavy fanservice. HaGaNaI is more comedy and Duo is more romance. 

Similar character personalities. Yoroza from Sukunai has the same personality as Kirihime. While Shining is the same as Sena. Both clash at each other from time to time. Shining aka Sena is given a nickname that only Yoroza/Kirihime refrers to her. Kodaka and Kazuto both revolve around these two.  

both anime have characters that are weird in a somewhat similar ways 

Similar theme. A club is created just to have fun and get close to one another. 

The theme of school and clubs are present in both of these series. The main character has interactions with different characters of conflicting personalities. Although there is much comedy, both series have serious and emotional moments. Also, there is hints of obvious romance present in both series that are shown in an unique way. One way of supernatural, the other one of tsundere.  

Atmosphere similar, involving the protagonist's childhood ... not to mention that Ikusu Mizutani resembles the Mikazuki Yozora... 

Both main characters are kind hearted guys starting to a new school and seeking friendship. Also both being misunderstood and feared by others for their delinquent-like appearance (more close to demon-like for Kitano) 

The main characters are pretty similar: They are both feared because of their appearance yet despite that they happen to find love 

Similar animation style, indifferent characters. Segawa is much more annoying then kodaka. 

Both animes are Harems. Their are two main male leads who are use to being loners and are suddenly surrounded by girls. Some of the characters are similar. Kadoka and Souta, Megumu and Yukimura Nanami and Yozora 

Colorful characters and fanservice that manages to be hilarious instead of distracting, no matter how over the top it goes.  

A similar relationship with pseudo-delinquent guy, brunette osananajimi and blonde tsundere. 

Both are involved with club activities. Boku wa's OP is very similar with K-ON!'s 2nd season OPs. Both have Blonde Ojou-sama's. 

At the end of "Boku wa Tomodachi..." a chibi version of the characters appear, and this is very similar to "OreImo" chibis at the Animated Commentaries. 

At least in the chapters 0 and 2 of "Boku wa Tomodachi..." the fanaticism for games (specially visual novels), and how the character gets into the unreality world remind me a lot at "KamiNomi"! 

Similar comedy, artistic style, and characters. Haganai is a bit more random and toned-down overall in terms of excitement, while OniAi is more exaggerated and focuses almost exlusively on the romance/harem aspect. Both involve plenty of fanservice (just watch their OPs to get a sense of it).  

What do you get when you add Myself;Yourself, Kore wa Zombie, Baka no Test, Toradora, Yosuga no Sora, Suzumiya Haruhi and a bit of School Days? You get this anime, albeit less drama, less gore, less violence but nevertheless the plot elements, characters and references can be found similar to the other anime. 

Both Anime's are about clubs that contain the most out there club members who honestly just want a place to belong. The Anime are also harem anime. 

Both anime share common genres which are harem/romance/comedy and focus on a male protagonist (of course). Boku wa Tomodachi is a full-on comedy that also deals with some important issues. I guaranteed this anime will have you up till 6 in the morning watching it because it is truly a hilarious, sexy, and enjoyable show. This anime not only targets male viewers but a female audience too. Anyway, enjoy ^_^ (P.S. There is a sequel to this anime!!!) 

More and more people accumulate in a nearly-family-like group. Both could do with less ecchi, though. 

They are both light-hearted, romantic-comedy anime. Both of them are very funny and will brighten up any day. Both of them are very enjoyable to watch. 

School life has a way of creeping up on someone and giving the unexpected twists and turns. Both of these Anime deal with school life and have a rather crisp style to them. 

In both titles the MC started his school career with a bad reputation (one for fighting, the other for the looks). But they join a school club full of beautiful ladies and so the adventure begins. Boku wa.. more focussed on getting friends and adventures with the growing group of friends Yamada.. more focussed on... well the MC wanted to make friends to begin with... but now (with as little as spoilers I can tell) he wanted to prevent someone for returning to her original self (closed, friendless, forced to smile). Both ani's I recommend to watch if you like comedy, harem and a little twist of seriousness ;) read more 

The characters all have to get over these get-along hardship. Sort of similar to Hentai Ouji. There are romances between the characters, and they deal with school life also. 

All the girls in this show like the male protagonist. Both anime are harem,comedy and romance. ---- ------ -------- Haganai - club activities(making friends) Rosario+vampire - making friends with supernatural girls.  

Both are comedy slice of life about a group of friends who like to try different stunts in their everyday life. The humour in both shows are the same type so if one makes you laugh, no doubt the other will too. Lots of references made to other anime, fantastic voice acting and pervy jokes. 

both anime is set in a school life background involving club activities and harem with many types of girls. with a small touch of ecchi and not much weight to its story and character development, both anime has a similar taste. 

I started watching this right after i finished DXD and both are two of my favorite harem comedies of all time. Though i did enjoy DXD more because of its violence. Haganai is a great series that takes you on one hell of a emotional ride! 

Similaraties: Both about Clubs and childhood friends. Both packed with fun times and romantic times. Saku = Kodaka Mihoshi = Yozora Dissimilarities: in boku wa tomodachi Kodaka don't know about yozora being his childhood friend, but in sora no mani mani he knew already. 

i know this has no similarity to the plot but they are both very funny they both have comedy,ecchi,harem in them also has alot of girls going after the guy 

Both have a similar setting and each of the character have their own UNIQUE personality! Which is same to both anime! Especially the main character!! Not to mention the similarity in genre - Both are comedy, romance and school live as well!
