Toradora and Sakurasou involve a guy reluctantly taking responsibility for a female classmate that he lives near, but the girl in Sakurasou is a softly-spoken autistic artist, not a troubled tsundere. Sakurasou has a very similar tone to Toradora, and the characters fill comparable but not identical roles. Though Sakurasou initially tries to present itself as a fanservice anime, its real themes are of aspiration, self-expectation, and unreciprocated feelings.
Both are romantic-comedy series involving a guy who takes care of a girl who goes to the same school as them. While the girl in Toradora is more aggressive in personality, and the girl in Sakurasou is a quiet type, both shows have a set of cast with personalities that stands out. While it's mostly romance-comedy, both also have a good portion of drama. Additionally, both shows are made by the same studio, which gives them a similar atmosphere.
Similaries:
-produced by J.C.Staff
-can be defined as a mix between comedy, drama, romance, and slice-of-life
-male protagonist loved by many girl, but appears to be oblivious
-love complications and development between major character
-quirky characters, resulting in unique stories
both are awesome shows and are highly recommended
First of all, both series involves J.C. Staff.
But beyond that, there are some other similarities present in both series.
Toradora and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo both has a main female protagonist who is peculiar and not the typical girl you'll meet in every day life. In fact, their personalities makes the main male protagonist feel a bit uneasy. But despite this, they get along better later on as the main male protagonist begins to take care of the girl.
Both series also has other characters involved with the two main characters in a variety of ways - comedic, dramatic, emotional, and romance.
Both series are lighthearted and takes place at school life setting. read more
As each of these shows pull you along the story of normal school kids going through out there school years, they showcase a great mixture of drama and humour with an interesting and unique story line. These shows do a great job of making you genuinely care about what the characters are going through and what will happen to them next as you feel that you can relate to their situation.
Both are top-notch romcoms that deliver much, much more than your standard romance. Toradora! speaks a lot about family, while Sakurasou talks about friendship and talent.
Nowadays, it's really tough to find a romance anime that isn't some harem piece of crap however, both Toaradora and Sakurasou somehow manage to make the stereotypical School Life anime genre and make it into something interesting.
Basically, if you want to watch a School Life, lighthearted and entertaining anime then you should check out these two series.
Both of these series follow the curvature of romance & comedy.
Toradora focuses more on the interpersonal relationships between characters, while Sakurasou delves into personal purpose. There were many times while watching one, that reminded me of the other.
From the studio that brought you the action series "Index", comes around a romantic comedy series, with a love develop, wacky situations. The story is basically around the main characters who just wanted to enjoy themselves for their lives, until someone usually got in their way, sparking an interest in them. You might find that it is lighthearted at first, but it will really shines when the drama spike things up in later episodes.
There is not much of a difference which is a romantic comedy. Though, in Toradora, it follows a delinquant boy and a tsundere girl. In Sakurasou, it is somewhat a love triangle, and follows a boy who needs to take care of a girl who is a manga artist. read more
Bot animes are about the male protagonist being a sort of delinquent and refusing to do what the school wants. They both love one person but in the way of it is misunderstandings between both MC's having to take care of the female MC. Both animes are great slice of life animes with just the right amount of comedy and romance, but they both have their own little twist to it.
These two anime are romantic comedy, yet have some drama in its splice of life genre. The protagonists are very well alike in some sorts, having their daily life problems solve with by understanding each other and enjoying school life as much as possible. Each story revolves around the school (where most of the scene is) and every episode is a surprise that will make you stick to it.
Both are Rom Coms, but at the same time, can also be seen as sort of coming of age story with emphasis on relationships, in both the romantic, as well as the platonic sense. Both shows are from the point of view of a male MC who is unsatisfied with the status quo, and in each case, they are surrounded by energetic, likeable characters who breathe life into each scene that they're present.
Also both shows were animated by J.C. Staff, and in both cases they're visually stunning.
Unlike Toradora!, Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou) explores many themes such success, failure, raw talent vs hard work.. aside from the romance, comedy, and friendship.
I believe both anime have almost identical vibes to them. These two titles are high-school romantic comedies, and their casts are very similar at times. Both anime end on an open note (more emphasis on this point to Sakurasou rather than Toradora!) which leaves room for a second season. They are both done by J.C staff, and finally, the male protagonist has to choose between two (or perhaps more, depending how you look at it) very different girls; and eventually has to decide who he truly loves.
Both amazing Romantic Comedies about a group of friends who have pretty unique backgrounds. The character development in these shows were fantastic and I felt for them when they were down. Both of these shows are just shows that made me smile, cry, and have fun.
In Toradora!, Aisaka has a crush on Takasu's best friend and vice versa. They plan to help each other provided they help each other get closer to their each of their love interests. Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo has a more subdued approach on the topic of romance but both have a complex love arrangement making it interesting to see what the final outcome of the relationships are going to be. They also have a very similar pacing pattern making it feel like that you have watched the other show again but with a different setting. If you liked the comedy that comes out of the complications of romance in Toradora!, then you will also like Sakurasou no Pet no Kanojo.  read more
A lighthearted yet sometimes dramatic slice of life romance that spreads out over a group of friends. Both are really well done and belong into the Tier 1 of slice of life romance with comedic and dramatic elements.
Sakurasou and Toradora! both have the great stories and great characters. But instead of trying to find love like Sakurasou did, Toradora shows you how people help eachother fall in love, with opposite effects. I think that both these animes are great and connect with eachother one way or another because their just that good and love is funny, right?!
If you have watched Toradora, you'll probably like Sakurasou. Both of them are great examples of how a romcom with a taste of drama has to be done, with an amazing soundtrack which totally fits at every moment. The style of drawing is also smooth and you'll fall in love with all the characters.
-Both feature similar setting and tone as well as similar tone shifts
-Both involve the female lead being almost completely dependent on the male lead to a ridiculous degree, allowing comedy to ensue
-Both stand out from average high school romance by being centered around not just the main pair but instead a group of friends and their love interests. This works double as it helps the characters all feel more realistic while also allowing meaningful relationship struggles on the side to be explored to further increase the chances of overlapping with an experience of their audience
Both have the same amount of comedy to balance out the amount of heart wrenching scenes to make you cry with these characters who individually have to go through something different but end up overcoming those obstacles in order to fulfill they're dream. They both have that one character who always seems energetic and happy no matter what, but is only wearing that mask to keep everyone else happy, the character who doesn't seem to care about anything but just doesn't want to be hurt like they were in the past, and the character who's family matters at home prevent them from being happy.
both are slice of life anime, both are from the same studio and both anime's female protagonist have some unique ability. you will love sakurasou if you loved toradora
*Both Toradora! and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo MC are taking care of girl who live near them
*Toradora! are about family ,meanwhile Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo are about friendships and talent.
*Both stories are the best!
They both have stellar comedy early in the show, followed by an effective melodramatic love story. Also included are multiple best girls and an overall strong cast.
(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) The storyline is not so similar to each other, but come on, the two animes have a group of characters and during the passing of the story, characters from this group begin to romantically like each other, the two animes has a relatively good comedy, both animations and designs are well made, the characters are very charismatic and lovely, they are great animes that every lover of romance and high school life should watch.
The main topic of these anime is love between high-schoolers. But Toradora is also about problems with family while Sakurasou deals with growing up and trying to find stability in life.
The story isn't that close to sakura-sou, however, both anime are both romcom classics which paved the wave for modern anime. Even if they aren't in general all that similar, they are a MUST for every single romcom enjoyer.
A slice of life, romantic comedy with characters just as compelling as Toradora's. While Sakurasou does not feature a tsundere, it does have the same heartwarming depth to its story, and is even more relatable at times.
The characters seem very similar (like misaki and minori), and the dynamic between the two main characters (taiga and ryuji, and sorata and mashiro) are also very similar initially.
Toradora does go for a deeper route, however, while pet girl of sakurasou is more slice of life
I highly recommend watching this after Toradora!
Same studio, same vibes. A cast of lovely characters you will miss at the end of the show.
Misaki reminded me a lot of Minori Kushieda, and it gave me a feeling of peace seeing her get the love she deserved.
The first episodes has some fanservice scenes, but the rest of the show has none of it. It's a safe watch :)
They take place in a Highschool setting, the main male has good friends, and later on a love interest. And the biggest point is they both make you feel sad bruh.
Both anime features a female character who is not capable of doing daily chores and relies heavily on the male character to help complete such tasks.
In my opinion, Sakurasou and Toradora are one of the best high school rom-com I have ever seen. If you love high school rom-com I will strongly recommend giving these 2 a watch!
Similarities:
Both have the same school, romance, comedy and slice of life genre.
Both main male character have the same personality and even are in the same ridiculous predicament.
Both involves main female character, who are stoic and weird.
Both were set in some kind of boarding house.
Dissimilarities:
The female character in one anime is completely depended on the male character, while the female character in the other anime is a tough nut to crack.
The male character in one anime is at the same age and the same year level as the female, while the female character in the other anime is a year older than the male character.
Have you ever felt how heavy is to look after a female that's attractive enough to be your next girl? Have you ever felt how airhead can she be and she wouldn't notice? Bingo! The comedy of these show is one of the best here, you're going to find it fun to watch any of these.
A fairly normal guy enters an old dorm filled with social misfits. While Sakurasou is filled with mostly geniuses of one kind or another and Kawaisou people that don't fit in for slightly different reasons they share a very similar atmosphere. Also, romance ^^
Note: Based on only one episode of Kawaisou, but they already seem similar enough for a recommendation
Both are about teenage boys who move into dormitories with a cast of crazy residents. They both have romance, although Sakurasou has more drama while Kawai Complex has a lot more comedy.
•both anime are pretty much set in the exact setting as each other
•both anime focus on the main protagonist male which moves into a dorm/house, where the not so average residents reside and make the most out of their lives fun
•both protagonists are totally different in personality,you have one that over reacts to anything that leads to romance in any sense, and is not realistic at all, wheres as one is more realistic and more normal
•if you like one, you would possibly like the other, with the random personalities of each resident that resides in the dorm, that carry the show.
kawai-sou opens up with a male high schooler having his fantasy about living an eventful high school life as a reflection to how he used to live middle school. afterwards, he found out that he will be living in a mixed boarding house together with the girl he admires just like sakura-sou.
both anime emphasize on character development between the main character and other unique members of his boarding house. of course this includes the main heroine.
that being said, both sakura-sou and kawai-sou isn't an exact copy of the other, making it worth your time to watch as sakura-sou has more comedy in it while sakura-sou has more seriousness in it. read more
The same scenario where it is set in a boarding house, where the people are a bit unusual and there is one member of the house who is the only normal guy around who has to deal with these people on a day to day basis.
These are slice of life school, romance/comedies.
In both we follow a relatively normal boy that moves into a dorm/house filled with "lunatics"
Making it feel very similar.
Even though, Sakurasou is much more drama based, ups and down that give good character development. Also having more episodes to do so, and Kawaisou mainly focuses on comedy all through.
+ A group of misfit high schoolers (though Kawaisou has some older inhabitants as well) live together and try to get along
+ Above average animation and character designs
+ Similar romance element
+ Enjoyable comedic moments mostly brought about the characters' quirks
- So far, Kawaisou doesn't seem to have the good drama that Sakurasou has
First of all, they even have similar settings. Both is set on, well, as we all know that 90% of anime is set in, high school, in a dorm or at least dorm-like setting.
Main character falls in love with main heroine immediately in both ones.
Only difference I'd say is that one is...well...better than the other. Sakurasou shows how harsh life could be while Kawaisou doesn't and is more of a love comedy than a slice of life. Preferring one might not immediately mean you prefer another.
The both main character's had a ordinary life that are be ruined by their boarding house.The boarding house have a contain strange types of people which one of them will has a close relationship with the main character.
Both shows have an interesting set of quirky, really strange characters and the humor of the shows is mostly based on them. The characters are great in both shows, so the humor is also great. They both have somewhat ecchi moments, however, and can be quite lewd, but overall they are both really funny, and the ecchi parts are not unbearable by any means
both are romantic comedies that follow the lives of an ' average ' guy alongside of some rather eccentric characters in a particular residence. sakurasou is a school dorm, and kawaisou is a boarding house. the endeavours and respective development undergone is notably different in the two series, with sakurasou being more impressive in that aspect. however kawaisou has a very appealing dynamic in regards to the relations between characters; both platonic and romantic. the animation and colour is truly breathtaking in both, though kawaisou is considerably more vivid. both also, both have truly standout soundtracks.
Both revolve around the main character being forced to live in a very odd complex with very very odd people. Both have an interesting and cute love story with tons of sexual humor or just plain comedy. I enjoyed watching both immensely with Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou being my favorite. I definitely recommend both for those romance/comedy lovers!
both are slice of life anime with tons of characters and try to be unique and funny .
difference is that bokura managed to be consistent with how good the characters are and how funny the show is which is the complete opposite to what sakurasou did .
Both anime are very great. As i started watching Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou, I came to realise that it is very similar to Sakurasou. You have an ordinary guy stuck with weird people. He falls in love with a silent and shy girl, somewhat like Shiina from Sakurasou. Their relationships in both anime develop from day to day. If you really like romance animes give it a shot. But if you like anime with lots of "lovey" scenes, you might be dissapointed.
Both Sakurasou and Kawaisou have a house that is followed by sou... In all seriousness, both anime follow a main character who ends of living in a house full of "unique" characters, Sakurasou, and Kawai Complex. In this house they deal with the shenanigans of their new roommates, try to get used to it, and of course, meet a love interest. They are both funny RomCom's that will have you awwing, crying, and laughing. Well worth a watch!
* Lots of different kind of people living under the same roof/dorminatory...(Danger!!!!)
* In both we have «kuudere» female lead & goody-two shoes/annoying male lead...
* Weak romance feeling ( Bokura wa Minna especially )...
* Both shows has a little bit of [ecchi stuff] [mostly imaginery]
* Both has really nice char designs [SnPnK has a little bit better eye designs]...
* Both have really awesome side characters (they're funny, interesting)
†SnPnK is a little bit dramatic ( BwMK fails at it )....+ Sakurasou has 24 episodes (pacing = good) & ( Bokura wa Minna has 12+ ova/special (terrible pacing)
They both take place in a similar environment where everyone needs to deal with each other in order to learn and further develop their relationships.
They comedic aspect is present in both, while one strides at romance much more than the other
Very enjoyable and addictive
Main characters of both anime live in the same apartment and have both characters trying to understand each other better while slowly improving the bonds between each other
What if a normal guy who just wants to enjoy his adolescence begins to live in a house full of strange people of all kinds? These two animes reflect exactly that, with the added similarity which is that both protagonists are interested in a very introverted girl that is impossible to feel contempt. It is noted that Bokura doesn't deepen as much as Sakurasou in terms of dreams and concerns of each character because of its short duration, but in my opinion Bokura has much more comedy. In short, if you liked the way Sorata suffered and appreciated their neighbors, definitely you will like Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou. read more
Almost the same thing.
- Both the settings involve a dorm with weirdos.
- The female MC is silent and socially incept.
- The male MC's characters are also about the same. But Kawaisou's MC is not a whiny little bitch.
Here's how Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is better though,
- No overbearing drama. Just comedy.
- No immature love-triangles.
- Although the animation in Sakurasou is not bad, it is much more gorgeous in Kawaisou.
basically it almost got the same templete what make it different that Kawaisou more focusing on the comedy and the story is not that amazing if compare with Sakurasou. But Yeah just for fun sake recommend watch this
The setting is similar, which is a boy who moved to a dorm and meet some "unique" people , like the masochist , the drunk old lady who cant get a boyfriend , and of course the main heroin is a kuu-dere (which is a plus for me). but over all i'll give it a 8/10.
Bokura wa minna kawaisou is kinda similar to Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, because of the fact that both main characters living in a dorm, where they met the girl they like. In both animes there are a lot of slice of life and we see them come closer to each other every episode.
Both protagonists, with similar personalities, are in very alike circumstances. They both enter a complex filled with interesting and bizarre people. While they are all strange, the protagonist is quite normal. They then meet a girl who basically changes their life.
Strip off the heavy drama going on in Sakura-sou and you get Kawai-sou! They have a lot of similarities especially the main characters, both being in high school, both living in a shared apartment/dormitory, and both somehow being the only level-headed person in their group.
The setting is the same: boy comes into a dorm filled with weirdo's.
Very likeable cast, hilarious moments.
Same awkward kind of romance.
Very different kind of characters, wich is a nice change and feels like something new.
both anime involved a group of people of different age groups living under the same dorm
but there's a huge difference- while The Pet Girl of Sakurasou is dominated with great drama, Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou is dominated with peak comedy and wholesome moments- i'd say both are equally enjoyable to watch, despite the difference
Sakura-sou no Pet no Kanojo is a well known anime. The anime is famous for diverse cast and unique characters that will entertain you. Not only that, they will delve deeper into the the backstory of each characters and we got to know who they are and what they want. Bokura wa minna kawai-sou have similar vibes with that anime. Both have a diverse and unique characters that are likeable and funny af. Even though the latter one didn't have a deep backstory that tied with the characters, but it was still an entertaining shows
Both have:
- Hero (Yuuta/Sorata) who is apparently normal (or wants to be) taking care of the heroine who is a weirdo and a loner(Rikka/Shiina).
- Hero keeps a cat (Hikari/Chimera) that frequently join the characters.
- Hero is surrounded by a weird group of people: a peculiar guy who seeks relationships with girls (Isshiki/Jin); a popular classmate (Nibutani/Aoyama); an energetic crazy girl (Dekomori/Misaki); a character with strange habits (Kumin/Akasaka).
- Both have romance and a lot of comedy.
Tbh, I find these two series quite alike.
Both series involves a main protagonist who has to deal with a strange girl. They feel reluctant to get along with them but comes to appreciate them more.
Both series' main female protagonist seems to lack common sense.
Both series has a lot of comedy, drama, and also inklings of romance.
Both series' cast of characters have strange personalities that makes the show entertaining.
•both have a male protagonist who wants to live an ordinary life but that cant come true of course, since the story/plot would be borrrrring..
•both male protagonist look after an odd/weird/different girl protagonist throughout the series
•both males look after cats
•both protagonists in each series are surrounded by a bunch of an interesting group of friends who create the surroundings more comedic, and both supporting cast of friends are very similar in each of their roles comparing with the other anime.
•both have romance and comedy
•they are similar in the school life with a male looking after a weird girl and developing feelings etc...
Both series have unique characters, and the main male character seems to dislike his actual situacion and wants to change it. But as this series go on, and th characters relations develop, their objetives change or get troubled by new points of view. The comedy is also a strong point in both series because there are a lot of abnormal and funny situacions because all characters are really abnormal.
Both animes are touching and gonna pull you in their worlds. In each anime there is such a familiar feeling, that you think, you know them your whole life. I love both chuunibyou and sakurasou, but i prefer sakurasou.
A nice, mostly "normal" male protagonist (Yuuta/Kanda) meets an eccentric, socially-isolated female protagonist (Rikka/Mashiro) dealing with a condition which often has them living in their own internal world. While being surrounded by a group of crazy peers (Far East Magical Napping Society/Sakura Hall residents), they try to deal with their demons of growing up while becoming closer to said protagonist girl (who has demons of her own). Both are school life/high school animes, but differ on boarding school nature. Along the way, an unnoticed, unrequited love from a current or former close friend of the male protagonist interferes with the delicate relationship between the protagonist couple.
Both are journeys of self-discovery while coming of age/growing up filled with a balance of comedy and drama. In this way, they have a very strong component in realism. For the main group, everyone's biggest strength comes back to bite them and their biggest weakness also has a moment of benefit. The symbolism and subtle things are prominent in both shows, adding a depth which is there if one doesn't miss it or refrain from looking for it, but you can understand the story without /all/ the depth. There are a lot of themes regarding reality, belonging, family, and love.
Length-wise, Sakurasou is 24 episodes, and Chuunibyou is 24 episodes + 2 OVAs + 12 'Lite' shorts, so both end up telling the story in a similar length of watching time. The difference between the timelines is simple: Chuunibyou starts at the beginning of Year 1 of High School (10th Grade) and currently ends at the beginning of the second term of Year 2 (11th grade) (roughly April of Year 1 to September of Year 2, about 1.5 calendar years). Sakurasou starts at the beginning (first term) of Year 2 (11th grade) and currently ends at the beginning (first term) of Year 3 (12th Grade) (about 1 calendar year). read more
The chemistry between Rikka and Yuuta are very similar to Sorata and Shiina. Both have a funny and intriguing supporting cast as well as set in a school environment. The only difference I can find really is that Sakurasou no pet na kanojo is a little less strange. I mean it's strange but shiina isn't really as strange as Rikka. But if you liked Chuunibyou you'll definetely enjoy Sakurasou no pet na kanojo.
Weird kawaii heroine? Check
Unlucky main characters? Check
Live in the same place? Check
School life? Check
I really recommend it because sometimes there are wholesome moments which can make u comfortable. The type of the comedy is similar too.
Unconventional individuals. Chuunibyou and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou are full of odd characters who spend time together going through what they enjoy doing the most, even if it against normal conventions.
Chuunibyou features chuunibyou type characters, whilst Sakurasou features a variety of eccentric characters. Both are accompanied by 'regular' but equally as strange MCs, namely, Yuuta and Sorata respectively.
Both are great rom-coms in a school environment about growing with the weird people in life and how they just as important as all else.
-Both MC deals with "weird" girls that they later help and develop a bond with.
-Both anime tells a great story but are different in their own way.
-Both are must-watch anime. Especially when you're into romcoms.
Sakuarasou is the story of a group of misfit adolescents learning together how to pursue their passions and deal with the responsibilities of talent, hard work, and sometimes how to just enjoy their youth.
Similarly, Chuunibyou shows a story of adolescents struggling to deal with the pressures and the pain that reality and growing up offer. Is it important to be like everyone else in society? Or is it okay to hold on to fantasy and an enchanted reality? It's a story of how we each cope with life differently.
Both of these stories portray their respective aspects of life and growing up in unique and delicately profound ways, leaving the viewer with a lot of thoughts, feels, hope, an joy in the end.  read more
The dynamics of the main couple are really similar between the two series(seemingly ordinary good hearted helpful guy and "quirky" girl with special traits).Both are lighthearted and fun to watch for the most part,but have some sadder elements occasionally.
Both of these anime include a quirky and socially-dysfunctional girl that ultimately is taken care of by the main protagonist as they fall in love. Each of these shows focus on making every romantic moment a special one and keep you at the edge of your seat as you wait for the next event to happen.
Honestly, similar vibes.
A group of quirky characters where the main character believes that they have nothing going for them, but it turns out that everyone believes the same thing to some degree.
The character, doubts, and passions of characters are loving explored and the characters are memorable and lovable.
It is still coming out, currently only 3 episodes as I am writing this, but it is incredible so far.
Biggest difference so far (other than the initial travelling into the past to remake a lifelong regretted decision) is that there isn't one particular character that stands out as particularly odd (like mashiro in sakurasou), but all the characters have their own unique quirks (and non-gimicky ones at that).
9/10 so far, beautiful anime, would reccomend. read more
- Both deal with a group of talented people trying to achieve their dreams in the art industry; they also live together.
- Both show that life has its hurdles and even those with passion and talent struggle in reaching success.
- Both build meaningful drama for their characters in both the settings they are placed in and the relationships between each other. (even some of the drama parallels with each other)
- Both have a colorful cast of characters and amazing OST.
In both:
- Tags: Drama, Romance, Slice of Life
- MC lives in one place with another students
- MC works on a project together with his housemates
- Ups and downs
Both shows feature a MC who is suddenly placed in a dorm with 3-4 other students and how he adjust to his new dorm/school life with these roommates. While these may not be the main focus of these shows, especially in "Remake our Life!", this trope is still heavily prevalent and adds to the enjoyment of the show. Both of these shows also take place in a school setting, whether it's in high school or college.
(based on 2 episodes)
MC opts for a creative future, in sakurasou it's game creating, here in this show it's art.
Main cast of characters live together,
Tropes match
Every weeb has a soft spot for his favorite rom-com. If you have watched neither of these, then just start watching both of 'em.
So Relaxing and Heartwarming.
It is very similar in the perspective of it. It is like Re:life + Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo. First let us compare it with Pet na Kanojo; The similarities like:
- First, it is surrounded by art industry concept like Drawing, Game making, and more.
- It has the dormitory concept
- Aki Shino has a slight similarity of Mashiro Shinna in the personality concept
- And a main character is determine to learn.
Both MCs are just average people that wants to achieve something great in the field of arts (game creation). They are also surrounded by talented individuals and they all live in the same house/dorm.
This anime is like Re:Zero + Sakura sou
- The MC is living in a house with peers
- They are in the search for their calling
- Aki and the MC's relationship is like Mashiro and Sorata
Very close series in terms of MC struggles, his surroundings and the overall genre both shows are using to explore them.
They have their own twists that make a bit unique but the feeling of similarity is 100% there.
-Both takes place in school
-Both have students dealing with creating things
-Main characters live together
-Main protagonist helps his friends
They just have similar feels in general.
~~~MILD SPOILERS!!~~~ Please do not read if you feel that this may affect your enjoyment of either anime. You have been warned!
Well, in a sense, the main 2 protagonists of Kousei and Kaori are somewhat similar to Sorata and Shiina of Sakurasou. Albeit, Sorata goes through his "transformation" whilst trying to reach what he feels to be a sense of "accomplishments" that can match up to Shiina, while Kousei is already an accredited pianist. However, in Kousei's story, it is more about him being able to accept his position in life and being able to break out of the mental shell that was left behind after his mother's death.
The story of Kousei and Kaori is an enriching tale of friendship and tragedies that is sure to leave you wanting more. From the character development, to the scenery, Shigatsu wa kimi no Uso is probably one of the best anime of it's time. I strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a beautiful Slice of Life style anime and hope that it brings as much happiness and tears to you as it has for me.
Enjoy!  read more
Both anime have similar comedy and drama. Both main male cast have goals with their live, but they don't know how to get to it. Until they meet the main female and they change their life. Two of the anime teaches you to accept live and live isn't fair. There are times when the characters feel down because of their past or their flaws. Both teaches good life lesson.
- Comedy and romance.
- Protagonist in a constant struggle with himself.
- Girl draws the attention of our main character , to possess a great talent in the arts (Shiina in the drawing, and Kaori in the music).
- Protagonist will rely on this new girl and her friends in order to overcome their weaknesses.
Both shows contain a main character who has a godly talent in an exspressive art but both are no longer using that talent to there full advantage. Also both shows contain great friendshpis and mature themes.
Amazing anime. Amazing art style as well as music used throughout entire anime, and Shigatsu is filled to the brim with drama and funny moments. It'll keep you watching to the end, just like Sakurasou did if you enjoyed Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.
The feelings here are intense!
These two anime are about boys who are led and inspired by towheaded female leads, who desperately want to pursue their artistic dreams. If you're a bit like me, you'll feel envious of the characters for being so passionate but you won't be able to help but root them on.
Sakurasou and Your Lie in April both contain times when the main character is nearing the end of his rope, matched with glimmers of hope. They also share subtle themes of romantic drama. Sakurasou and Your Lie in April are very absorptive, both in art style and plot, and while they'll make you ooh and ahh over the animation, they'll make you cry ugly tears. Fortunately, the serious scenes were balanced out with the comedy; they share that loud, exaggerated style of comedy that is unique to anime. Some people might find it annoying, but I find that this type of comedy is the perfect bit of comic relief.
The art style in both anime is stunningly radiant with excellent use of light and if the stories were not appealing enough, the art style will captivate you.  read more
Both of these shows have
-A blond girl with a talent, (Ex. Art, Violin) that the main character falls in love with
-Dramatic with lots of scenes where crying is involved
-Both are very funny in the earlier stages, to get you attached to the characters
-And lastly, both have fantastic endings
This romantics comedys are the best I ever seen and I expect yuo to like as I liked. This have all a good romantic drama needs, funny moments, anti-climatic moments and a lot of the best from drama
You Lie in April and Sakurasou bring us a flavour of what it feels like to grow up into a career and the confusion that comes with deciding your own path. Both of them also representing how each’s choices might affect the relationship between the friends.
Another aspect that should be mentioned is the similarities of romance: love triangles with a great deal of drama at the climax.
These are slice of life that will make you cry for sure. The beauty of OST, characters, and the story are wonderfull. Please watch them (and they're short to watch so you have no excuse).
An emotional anime that brings the heartbreaking struggles and failures of the characters and turns them into something beautiful. The characters in these shows are memorable and unique, while still maintaining some parallels between the shows. Sakurasou isn't quite as sad as Your Lie in April, but it's still a great show regarding emotional attachment.
Shameless plug: Join the Sakura-sou Discord linked in the subreddit (r/sakurasou)
these two anime have comedy and romance that are almost similar, comedy that makes us laugh and romance that will make us touch, but this anime (not both) also has a sad ending that is quite sad.
Both are about a guy who doesn't really know what he wants to do with the rest of his life, but then meets a girl who is a genius in the arts. Both are within the school setting as well. Though one is throughout college and the other high school. The other main characters seem similar to each other as well.
Both main characters(Takemoto and Sorata) deal with self discovery in the art field and on a personal level, the main females(Hagu and Mashiro) for both series are genius artist that the male leads try to measure up to.
Both series have a warm atmosphere centered around friendship, love, and everyday life. If you like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo then Honey and Clover is the series for you.
Same plot line, and cast make up:
"normal" guy with "above normal" friends
practical reasoning evades the main female casts
fear and indecisive for the main male character
laid back atmosphere
I recommend it, because both shows are about a group a students living in a house. They work and study hard to accomplish their dreams. They go through many real life situations. Also in both of them, a Blond girl appears and she has a bond with the teacher who takes care of the home. Both are really good and demostrate the value of friendship and trust one to another.
I found these two series similar in a few ways.
Both Honey and Clover and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo are lighthearted romance series that has a slice of life feeling to them involving the main characters. The main female protagonist in both series are strange but with an unique presence.
On the other hand, the main male protagonist in both series who has no clue what to do yet with his life but discovers more meaning as he meets the main protagonist who both shares a talent in art.
Friend and discovery are themes present in both series as they adapt to the new atmosphere of their lives. There is also comedy, drama, and romance in both series. read more
Main male character from both series doesn't really know what to do with their life (Yuuta vs Sorata) and the Main Female character from both series doesn't really understand how daily life is but they are both amazing with art related stuff......they are really amazing at it. (Hagumi vs Mashiro)
Ove all both series are very similar and if you enjoy one then you'll probably like the other.
They are very similar, both about dreams of work life seen in the eyes of students and the life matter of choice between risky hobby route and settled ordinary one, with a protagonist can't find the spark inside himself.
Sakurasuo is a little bit more open and lighter while Clover is more realistic and deeper.
Sakurasou and H&C actually shave very similar concepts and ideas, and both showcase them beautifully but in different ways. While Sakurasou is more blunt with it's message, and has much faster pacing than H&C, not to mention being much more idealistic and happy go lucky, Honey and Clover depicts the ideas in a slightly more mature and realistic way, but still manages to pull off comedic parts too. It's also less direct with its message, preferring the audience to experience it and realize it, often without the main character straight out saying things (unlike in Sakurasou where a lot of dramatic speeches). Oh, also H&C has much less fanservice.
The core elements of eternal memories, talent, disparity, coming of age, and looking for your path in life are very apparent in both though, so if you like one, you should like the other. read more
Similar with the protagonist trying to figure out what to do with his life while being surrounded by people with tremendous artistic ability. Both have that hint of romance and will leave you with a smile on your face.
If someone had told me that Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo was Hachimitsu to Clover 3 I would have believed it.
Both shows are made by the same studio and share the same plot with a few little differences in the characters.
Both anime have similar problems such as the path for life choices, growing up, artist issues as intriguing love stories and complex relationships involving around students that live together as roommates.
They also contain both adorable and talented child-like students two (That have shared lead roles) that have only a brief understanding of love and the adult world
H&C's first season is so much like Sakurasou that it's hard to not feel that one is a rip-off off the other. Even the main charas of the two- Hagu & Mashiro, Mayama & Jin and of course Sorata & Takemoto are so alike that it's uncanny. Sure, the romance in Sakurasou isn't like a web of one-sided love that H&C is. And Sakurasou has much more of (slapstick ) comedy, as compared to H&C, which has a lot more serious(read 'sad') moments. But if you like one, and (after a break of at least a few months) watch the other, you'll love them both like i did. read more
Both shows depict the relationships between fellow hostel mates. Also, both shows have extremely talented characters who are very clumsy and can't handle themselves.
Both animes are about the mc wanting to fulfill there dream to make there own video game, even though they both don't really have a good idea are really the skill to make a video game. Both anime also show a good of amount of the otaku lifestyle and both are also romcom.
Let's See, A wimpy stereotypical protagonist assembles a motley crew of geniuses, who have quite some bolts loose from their minds. Sounds familiar right? Congrats, you just found a Doppelganger.
--> Protagonist's dream to make a game.
--> Often berated for not contributing enough.
--> MCs even have the same voice actor (Is this co-incidence or what? Yoshitsugu, you sly bastard) and quite frequent outbursts of embarrassment, when a character makes double meanings.
--> Assembles a crew out of his associates in the same school as him, who are directly related to him in one way or the other.
--> Atleast two girls are competing over the protagonist
--> A lot of depth is shown to the process of game-building/anime-making.
--> All the group members in the group are excellent at either one field or another
--> Main heroine is a Kuudere who has trouble showing her expressions.
--> Complex Relationship issues within the group.
--> A light-hearted comedy with an atmosphere of romance. Saekano has comparatively more fan-service while Sakurasou is more serious.
If you like Sakurasou, don't hesitate to go for Saekano. You'll love it. read more
Involves a game-making otaku hero and a deadpan heroine. The heroine is a quite a bit more unbelievable in Sakurasou, but the character development might be similar.
They are so great because they have high school life story with some love comedy on it. The main characters are similiar (airhead male character, tsundere, and super hot senpai). Their both stories are great and funny but i prefer sakurasou no pet kanojo because it made me cry. T.T
This recommendation is reflective of the totality of Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata, including the first and second seasons and movie.
Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo (Sakurasou) and Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata (Saekano) are very similar in some elements of their plot, the roles the characters play, and the general atmosphere. Each involve the MC attempting to fulfill their game design dreams. Though their passions are strong and indefatigable, their technical skillsets pale in comparison with the friends they meet along the way, who have their own talents and ambitions in life. In both Sakurasou and Saekano, the MC's persistence draws these talented friends into a ragtag circle of game development, and the two series dabble heavily in the game development process. Sakurasou's Mashiro and Saekano's Megumi—the lead female protagonists in their respective series—encounter the MCs Sorata and Tomoya by circumstance in the first episode and fill similar character roles, with Mashiro's demure and aloof attitude pairing well with Megumi's stoicism and seeming mediocrity. Both Mashiro and Megumi are unfamiliar with the world of Sorata and Tomoya.
Both series populate their plots with a healthy blend of broader comedic and lighthearted moments and more somber, dramatic happenings. The atmosphere of Saekano and Sakurasou is mostly jovial, but that doesn't stop the two from diving into more emotional arcs (especially later in the series). Sakurasou is comparatively more serious in this respect.
Though the MC's influences and characters are similar, the strength of Sakurasou and Saekano is achieved thematically and in similar ways. While the initial premise of the two series—Sakurasou's Sorata having to contend with a socially inept Mashiro and Saekano's Tomoya attempting to use the ordinary Megumi as the central heroine in his game—remains a driving force throughout their entire series, both Sakurasou and Saekano broaden from those premises quite quickly, and ultimately that premise simply becomes a vehicle for deeper character introspection. Saekano tends to stick to its game development plot roots, but elaborates on its premise with problems that arise when individuals have their own unique motivations, while Sakurasou tends to explore subplots not necessarily related to Sorata's caretaking of Mashiro, at least directly. Both series have external pressures that threaten the integrity of the central friend group. There's an obvious, gradual romantic undercurrent that persists in the two series (and often propel comedic misunderstandings), but the bulk of the thematic tension deals with the nature of friend groups (though Saekano wears its romantic harem component more obviously compared to Sakurasou's romance).
The MC's quest to develop a game with talented friends provides a launching pad for both series to explore how their core cast of characters balance their own ambitions with the ambitions of others, and to explore how the attitudes of the characters change in reaction to roadblocks both in their own dreams and in the dreams of others. What does it mean to be friends? Character flaws that one may pick up on through mutual interactions early in the two series crescendo and threaten to destroy or reshape close bonds, forcing friends to reevaluate and overcome emotional challenges. With such sharp focus on the central cast of characters, what happens to one character essentially affects all of the other leads in the two series, providing opportunities for those characters to reflect on the meaning of the bonds with their friends in both platonic and romantic ways.
- How much am I willing to sacrifice for the success of my friends?
- Are my friends' problems also my own?
- Am I sabotaging my own dreams to keep my friendships alive?
- When does selflessness become ingratiation?
- Is my own dignity in part the dignity of my closest friends?
These are central questions that are not only explored with regard to the MC, but also with the other central characters too as they work to resolve their both their own unique issues and their friends' issues.
While Mashiro is Sakurasou's "Pet na Kanojo" and Megumi is Saekano's "Saenai Heroine" (not spoilers - those are premises made clear in episode 1), there's a treasure trove of exploration for Sakurasou's Nanami, Ryuunosuke, Misaki, and Jin, and Saekano's Utaha and Eriri. These core characters will supply most of their series' serious moments along with the MC/female lead and have their own arcs, with additional supporting characters supplying a bit more levity throughout each series.
TLDR: This recommendation is based primarily on similarities in atmosphere, premise, character development, plot structure, and themes. read more
These animes are both about a guy without any particular talents, but they do both have a dream! Because of their strong desire to make that dream come true, they get the attention of some really talented people, and they all start forming a relationship with each other with the main protagonist in the middle of it all.
But making a dream come true isn't necessarily an easy task, but the friendships formed along the way, is hopefully enough to make the dream come true in the end.
Basicly they are both romantic/comedy/drama animes with different background story and their romantic problems but I've found them quite enjoyable in a similar way. Plus another difference is that sakurasou is about teens in high school and in golden time they are at the collage age
The same going for Toradora, both are romatic Anime's and very good at keeping you guessing the final relationship. All three (Toradora, Sakurasou and Golden Time) are prefect for cheering you up after watching an Anime like Clannad or School Days.
Both of these anime had me bawling and laughing. Absolutely perfect, the both of them. ;( Sad that they're over, but that's what rewatching is for!
Cheers!
Great storyline, Great Character developments and sweet endings - 100% recommend for those who loves romantic-comedy animes. This Anime is definetely worth watching and definetely wont disappoint you. Guarantee.
Golden Time and Sakurasou bot fit nicely into the field of a slice of life romantic comedy. I greatly enjoyed both shows and picked up Golden Time right after finishing Sakurasou. They're really similar in the sense that both anime have a male protagonist going through school with a new-found group of friends. Their relationships as friends grow as well as a few intimate relationships that begin to emerge. Both anime also have sort of a long lasting plot story that crops up here and there as the series go on. I loved the endings to both and have to say the cute romance aspects of both series were fantastic :) If you like the silly kind of way the Sakurasou group acted together you'll be quite pleased with Golden Time. NOTE: Golden Time does get a bit more serious at parts.  read more
In both of these anime the MC meets a girl with which falls in love with and their meeting is by chance or influenced by someone both sides know. Also the main character has a female cest friend (Sakurasou) or childhood friend (Golden time) that falls in love with them, the female character confesses her feelings to the MC but realises that he (Banri - GT or Kouhai - Sakurasou) doesn't feel the same way towards them and helps the girl he loves get together. Generally both are heavily based on friendship and love, highly recommend watching both of them.
Similarities:
-Lovable and honestly crafted characters are a strength of both shows
-Both feature a female lead who behaves in a rather unique way.
-Both include a love triangle
-Both are very upbeat and whimsical
-Both blend comedy and deep emotional feeling very, very well
-Both are unconventional, brilliant takes on the "coming of age" trope
-Both are slice of life anime as it should be told
Differences:
-the love triangle is front and center in Golden Time, unlike in Sakurasou where it is recurring but often in the background
-Golden Time will make you cry more; Sakurasou will make you laugh more
-Golden Time has a small supernatural element added into it
-Sakurasou is an ensemble piece where seven characters feel equally important. In Golden Time, while everyone is likable and layered, the emotional investment is pretty much completely focused onto 3 of the characters.
Both of these hold a very special place in my heart and I'd recommend either to anyone. read more
Be it college, or high school, the tale of a love story develops in the same fashion throughout most of life regardless of what stage you are at. Such is true for Sakurasou and Golden Time. Stories which take an average Japanese man and give him the eccentric shiny world of his fair lady.
Golden Time is a college love story of two strangers who end up having the best life, along with some other absurdities to make the drama an actual drama. Sakurasou is in a similar category with everything other than the fact that it is all set in a high school premise.
Both are good rom-coms with the side of drama to spice things up a bit so that it isn't all boring. Both are brought to you by the same studio J.C.Staff.

Both inflicts the pain of reality
Both have great transitions from comedy to drama not like Golden****
Sakurasou- Great(talented) people overwhelm hardworking people
Yahari- People bring down other people
Yukino/Shiina - both are emotionless but are complete geniuses
Aoyama/Yui -hardworking both like the male protagonist
Both give great lessons about sacrifice,pride,talents and how to manage Friends/People
In both series, there is a theme of "special" club, who don't fully match. The characters are quite unique character and similar like: for example, Yui <-> Aoyama, Yukino <-> Mashiro. The main male characters are different, because Hachiman is quite specific view of the world, than Sorata. The titles are based on the ties between the characters and everyday life as well as in the two series were captured social problems. In both series is a little comedy and romance.
The protagonists either try to find solutions to their problems or want to change themselves for the better. Both feature romance with little complications.
Both can be insanely funny in how people thinks different about each other. But then eventually as the story goes on they start to accustom to each other. They also have a very similar style in 'Romance' as it's not overdone.
What makes both the shows similar :
1. Both deals with problem faced by the teens growing in the society.
2. None of the anime solely focus on romance.
3. Many characters from both the shows face the same family problems.
4. Both shows highly focus on character's psychology and their mentality.
5. Both shows have a good balance of comedy,romance and drama.
Both Sakurasou and Oregairu delve into the problems and difficulties high school students will face. While Oregairu focuses mostly on the social problems and what happens presently, Sakurasou focuses a lot more on what each character will do an choose for their future. Overall, both are unique and entertaining romantic comedies.
Both anime start off as light hearted comedy focusing around daily lives of (mostly) normal teens. However, they both develop into fantastic drama based anime that focus on the realities of students. Sakurasou is better, but Oregairu is undoubtedly amazing too.
Both titles got romance, comedy, and drama as main themes. Both are showing the hardships of everyday life in their teenage years in their own original way. Some characters are quite similar personality-wise. The vibe of both shows is very similar.
The LNs were written by the same author, who handles characterisation and internal conflict really well. The characters deal with emotional problems in a surprisingly realistic fashion, and neither show uses dramatic and flamboyant anime tropes much.
- Both are based on LN by the same author.
- Both have well developed characters with intrinsic conflicts and complex relations within the characters.
- Both have an element of romance and comedy.
- Both have a high school setting.
- Both deal with issues related to high school, puberty and the transition from teenager to adult and the consequences this implies.
Besides the Light Novels being written by the same author, similar elements include the appearance of slightly sexual stuff combined with teen drama conflicts like finding self, finding a place to belong, etc.
Same author, both have nothing to do with the title/poster, you go in expecting some generic harem but then you get hit with an actually good and emotional story. Both have lovable characters with witty dialogue.
Gives you the same feels
The main couple is super duper cute and would warm your heart just like in Bunny girl senpai
Both set in school
JUST WATCH IT ITS GREAT
Although presenting it in different ways, both shows are based on the problems that high school teenagers face and the insecurities they face when the path looks harsh.
With a character initially bizarre, the two stories give you an emotional roller coaster that you must watch.
Both series involves the main protagonists who wishes to follow their dreams of becoming a professional manga artist and making a name for themselves. At the same time, they discover more about the world with their friends and more about themselves.
Both series are lighthearted and has good comedy, drama, and romance.
Both series also has some emotions in some of the episodes that are realistic.
Both revolve around high school characters trying to achieve their dreams and both contain romance between multiple couples. While Bakuman is more focused around achieving the dream of the characters, Sakurasou focuses more on the romantic aspects of the character relationships. Both are excellent "coming of age" shows.
- Both shows are about chasing dreams and having passions.
- Both shows have main characters who are aspiring to be a successful mangaka.
- Coincidentally, both are named Mashiro (Male in Bakuman, female in Sakurasou)
Both
- Both shows are animated by the same studio : JC Staffs
- There are romance and comedies in both shows, although both also have the realistic and serious moments
- Both shows has hyperactive eccentric genius characters as well as the normal ones
The relation between deciding on what you want to do with your life and how you are going to do it, plus the romance aspect, I think these anime fit quite hand in hand together.
Both are about writing and drawing manga. Both show the struggles of getting a game or manga serialized. While Sakurasou is about a successful manga artist, but it is also about a man trying to get a game programmed and shows the struggles and the amount of time and effort it takes to get that serialized. While, Bakuman is about trying to get a manga serialized. Both are worth a watch.
These series start with the protagonist not knowing what to do with his life and finding their objectives thanks to another person, from there we follow them in both their fun moments with the lovable characters that surround them, romantic elements included, and the constant and realistic struggles to achieve the dreams they work hard for.
Both anime feature creative main characters who desperately struggle in order to achieve their goals. Moreover love plays an important role in their life and is connected to fullfilling their dream.
Similarities:
Both involves pesky girl who transferred to the guy's school.
Both involves the same pesky girl who turns guy's life upside down.
Both have the same school, romance, comedy and harem genre.
Dissimilarities:
The pesky girl in one anime is highly talented, but an airhead while the girl in the other anime is domineering and a manipulative.
The harem genre in one anime is a 2 way competition........of sorts (co'z it doesn't look like there is) between the airhead girl and the guy's classmate. While in the other anime's harem genre has a 4 way competition.
The school uniform for boys in one anime is not good, while the boy's school uniform in the other anime is cool.
The guy in one anime is a study bug, while the guy in the other anime is game developer wanna be.
One anime is 13 episode long while the other one is 24 episodes long.

The character personalities are very similar.
Eita is more or less like like Sorata in terms of how they react to things; Masuzu isn't really like Mashiro but she takes the place of the female transfer student; Chiwa is like Misaki because both of them are full of energy but still have their serious moments; and I haven't read the manga but I believe Himeka is to be like Nanami, one sided love and what not.
The artwork is somewhat the similar as well. Setting mainly at a school.
However, although OreShura has only released 4 episodes, I think Sakurasou is more emotional.
Both of these animes are similar on a number of points
-1st they are both animes about awkward love or people who are hopeless when it comes to understanding love
-2nd the art style of both and the sounds are fairly similiar
-3rd and last is the fact that the characters are somewhat similiar like the best friend and the sempai due to the fact that they are both energetic an free spirited
Both Anime are very similar in style, though Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo definitely is better executed.
In both shows, there is some sort of problem with all the protagonists, and also, the guy in the middle (Sorata & Ei-kun), both experience changes to their lives throughout the shows.
Also, both anime feature girls that are rather active than quiet, both shows guarantee active-living students at their peaks.
Both are mainly harem, Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo has a better story in my opinion, but both are similar, OreShura is more going to harem and comedy while Sakurasou develops more the characters and has more serious scenes.
Similarities:
Both have the same school, romance, comedy and harem genre.
Both animes about awkward love or people who are hopeless when it comes to understanding love
The art style of both animes and the sounds are fairly similar
Both anime feature girls that are rather active than quiet
Both are very similar involving a quiet girl who gets transferred to a new school and hence, has to share the dorms with (most of) our main team. Comedy-style is very similar and so is the '5-members-in-main-cast-with-one-developing-side-pairing-and-one-juicy-triangle' formula. If you liked Sakurasou, high chances are that you will like Nourin.
Both anime have a weird main girl character who is bad at house work, two girls that like the main boy character, a friend with glasses, and a girl character that has something she is good at. Both stories also have something to do with dorms.
Both are similar in terms of the FeMC, where both of them (Shiina and Ringo) lacks common sense and they are usually aloof but they possess exemplary talent in something. They live with a group of friends in the dormitory and the characters look quite similar to each other... Kinds of give you the similar vibes.
No-Rin is like Sakurasou in an agricultural setting. The characters are extremely similar too.
They're romantic comedies whose main characters live together in the same house. Sakurasou's Sorata and No-Rin's Kousaku are the protagonists, and look like each other. Jin and Kei, who also look the same, are the protagonist's male friend. Mashiro and Ringo are the quiet, reserved main female lead who moved in with the other characters after leaving their highly successful careers as a painter and idol, respectively. Rounding up the main cast are the female childhood friends/love interests Aoyama and Minori. They've all got similar personalities; the resemblance between Mashiro and Ringo is remarkable.  read more
Similarities:
- Both Main Female Character are both famous
- Both Main Female Character left the fame to have a Normal Life
- Main Female Characters are Idle Minded
- Comedy in both are almost the same
- Both Main Male Character likes the Main Female Character ( Vice-versa )
- Makes you want to watch more
Both have swapping between drama and comedy at a fast pace. Both have similar girl main interests.
A stretch, but anyone who enjoys one can probably enjoy the other.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanajo is a very sweet, enjoyable, funny series with an amazing cast of characters. The art for the show is also very beautiful. In these ways, it relates to Angel Beats! They are both very fun, lovable series that anyone who has some time should definitely check out. You'll get a good laugh out of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanajo and it will probably give you some emotional moments. However, if you're looking for a show with the same action as Angel Beats, this is not the show for you for it is more a good story and a comedy than an action-packed, exciting series.  read more
if you loved sakurasou, you will love angel beats.
except the bloody scenes and the fightings.
Tachibana Kanade is very similar to Shiina Mashiro, they both are "feelingless" and i found the same excitement in both animes.
- Slice of life with high school settings
- Characters come to terms with their true feelings, understand more about themselves and others
- You might cry at the end for the beautiful of the friendship
Both of the anime gives departure a meaning with memories, but it's also shown that departure is not the end, it's a new beginning.
Our time with the eccentrics. Angel Beats and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou show what life is like with a bunch of eccentric misfits.
Despite plots varying, Angel Beats and Sakurasou both have similar MCs with Otonashi and Sorata behaving a kindred manner, wherein they are both the 'sane' people of their respective groups. The same is with Angel and Mashiro, both being classed as the kuudere character. As time passes both MCs being to develop understandings of their respective peer as well as those around them.
Both are well-made slow romance comedies all in a school setting. Though AB being supernatural in contrast to Sakurasou's slice of life world.  read more
In both, we enjoy the daily life of the characters without any problem, the comedy and dramatic scenes, but in the end, we have to say goodbye to all this routine and it is a little difficult.
Beautiful animation, a lot of good characters, colourful, drama, comedy, daily life, and adventures of the characters in it.
both main girl characters are very similar in terms of lacking in social skills but is very talented and lonely. Both are dead pan but also funny and lovable, delievering some very good dry humour. Both deals with themes of being talented viewed from the perspective of the genius and the untalented. Both has a good balance of romance, comedy and drama
They're really great and deep shows.
Both hits the viewer with the difficulty of being part of a society, which wait the right moment to eat you.
Sometimes we're not enough, other times we can make it.
Sakurasou and ReLife are like a train of emotions, positive and negative, that hits you in the face: they make you laugh, cry and think.
If you enjoyed Sakurasou, try Re:Life!
Central theme/focus of both anime is normal people going through normal life dealing with normal people problems. They are both extremely realistic in their depiction of high school students, to the point that it may frustrate some viewers. Frequently, characters will face set backs or problems, they won't know how to fix it, and will make it even worse for themselves. Often, problems will not be solved in one or two episodes, and some underlying tensions can linger or build up for over half a season. These issues are never dismissed, and always explored fully, meaning that not every solution will be successful, and no problem they face ever just goes away. These are real people problems, and the characters have to confront them completely and fix it for themselves.
Another theme both share is learning to live and deal with friends who are exceptionally talented and successful, while they themselves face the failures and inadequacies that regular people have. Characters from both series have to confront their own feelings of jealousy, inferiority, and worthlessness in order to grow as young adults and strengthen their bonds of friendship.
The main difference between the two shows is perspective. Sakurasou's main protagonist a normal teen surrounded by extraordinary people. It it shown directly from the perspective of someone who has to deal with his own shortcomings and inabilities, while living in a place full of geniuses. ReLife's main protagonist is physically 17, but mentally 27 years old. He is a character who has 10 more years of life experience than everyone else around him. ReLife's story revolves around the naivety and feelings of everyone around him. Thus it is told from the perspective of someone who is not only indirectly involved, but also detached emotionally. Thus, Relife's main character is able to navigate through these issues calmly and rationally, while serving as a guiding/senior figure to all his classmates.
As a result of the different perspectives, Sakurasou is probably more painful or hard to watch at times than ReLife. In Sakurasou, the emotional pain is dealt directly to the main character, and we watch directly as he implodes. In ReLife, this detachment allows the viewer to have a more sage perspective like the main character. Thus, the issues the other characters deal with feel less serious, more juvenile, and ultimately quite ridiculous.
And in reality, both anime are about teens in high school. When you are the student, high school means everything. Every decision is as important as your life. But after walking away from it for a while, one comes to the realization that most of the things that happened back then were pretty silly and completely irrelevant to real life. read more
-Both are centered around a high school group of friends
-Characters are extremely similar, especially with their relationships
-Both are very involved with the future of the students
Outsider. ReLife and Sakurasou both follow individuals who have been kicked out of the normal way of life and now are in the dumps of life thus far. The two Kaizaki and Sorata then find themselves partnered with a rather calm and quiet outlier to the band of schoolmates, being Mashiro and Hishiro.
Both anime are about the things different people go through, with Sakurasou doing this via issues one as within their lifetime, ReLife doing this through the younger ones school problems that arise from time to time.
Good rom-com all around, with ReLife having some elements of sci-fi and s.o.l compared to Sakurasou's pure s.o.l
There have been many shows that features a group of friends having love interest with each other and/or one of the character in the group will fall in-love with someone foreign to them and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo and Nagi no Asukara are example of the said theme. While Sakurasou does not feature supernatural creatures like Nagi no Asukara but features weird people, they both have the same feeling and the most important part of both, the characters' development that improves the show more.
Far from being a generic romantic comedy/drama, both convey deep feelings within one's self with fantastic art, incredible plot and an endless roller coaster of excitement for what's to come after each episode.
Truly, what makes these two so alike is that the story and their characters are incredibly and realistically human.
Both are very character driven slice of lives, nagi no asukara has a very nice twist to it and they have very similar character dev, both are great!
note:
Both have top notch animation too xD
Both shows are driven by each character's love interest and the growth of these characters as the show progresses in the slice of life manner. Although the setting varies differently between the two shows, this does not prevent both them from having a similar effect, to get you attached to the characters and watch them grow in terms of their relationships and their individual characters.
-Both are very dramatic while being romantic at the same time.
-Both have somewhat realistic characters.
-Both have really good plots that mix well with the romance feel.
-Both have very good character development.
-Both have absolutely beautiful animation quality.
-Both are a 10/10 in my perspective.
They are similar because the main protagonist moves to a building and there both learn about themselves, what surrounds them and even about the place itself. So that's why Sakurasou and Kissuiso are similar.
Characters as a driving force. A once cold place now bustling with life, illuminated by colors of its people. Familial bonds singing in unison with the bonds of friendship. Trials of teenage romance. Marital comforts. Selfishness versus selflessness, understanding versus misunderstanding. Talent versus hard work. Old versus new. Flow of time. Tears signifying a decisive victory of youth.
Both centres around characters living together in a housing environment. For Hanasaku it's a Inn and a dorm for Sakurasou. While they also go to highschool. Both shows have the characters coming together like a family as they live/work under the same roof. Both explores the characters, their ambitions and development.
-> In both shows, a group of people unites over love for the place they livework at.
-> Both have good character development, although Sakurasou focuses on romance and Hanasaku on identifying one's true self and one's wishes.
-> Both depict relationships of romance, friendship and older-to-younger affection.
Basically, they are both heart-warming shoujo anime that will make you want to hug your friends and family 'till their pass out from lack of air. :)
Both animes have the main character moved to another place they don't like to be in at first, but once they spend a few time in it, they don't want to leave anymore. They both love the place they live in and fight to preserv it, and all the people who live in also became like a family.
If you liked the quality of Sakurasou, the characters and plot, I'm sure you will not be dissapointed with Hanasaku Iroha.
Hyouka and Sakurasou have very little to compare regarding their cast and their plot. Both are great in production quality and execution. However, their biggest similarity is that both tackle the thematic element of the "genius". Both series question how unfair it is for people to simply be more talented. Certain characters, like Satoshi from Hyouka and Sorata from Sakurasou, become frustrated with their talents compared to geniuses like Houtarou and Mashiro, who seem to accomplish things as if it were second nature to them.
Both also show the flipside of the coin and talk about how even geniuses are nowhere near perfect. For example, Mashiro works tirelessly to achieve her goals and never learns to take care of herself. And Houtarou makes incorrect conclusions if he doesn't get the whole picture. Both characters have to rely on the support of the rest of the cast to continue producing results. read more
Now I could recommend these anime for their similar outward themes such as a boy looking after/ helping a somewhat eccentric girl but that's not really what makes them similar. On a deeper level both anime deal with themes regarding talent and the effect which it can have on friendships and those around you.
-In Hyouka the main character has talent that he does not wish to use and is, to some extent, resented as a result of his natural ability
- In Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, the main character is an average person surrounded by talent who wants to show his own talent, feeling resentment when he is unable to do so
Both anime upturn the usual notion that talent characters have it easy, dealing with the dark side of being a naturally talent person  read more
Now you might be wondering why I'm recommending a mystery anime from a slice of life anime. Well the reason is despite Hyouka being mystery-driven, it managed to put in a story ─the same kind Sakurasou has which is the feeling of not being good enough at what you do (or what you want to be) because there's somebody whose exponentially better than you (or better than what he/she does).
But the twist is this: In Sakurasou, our main protagonist is the one who "looks up". The guy who is basking in these unbelievably talented people surrounding him and the one who feels sorry for himself. In Hyouka, our protagonist IS the unbelievably talented person but doesn't want to admit it.
The drawback of recommending Hyouka though is, of course, its genre. Being a mystery anime, it has to put it's attention and screen time on the mysteries. So what they do is they crank up the ambiguity and subtlety. The effect of this is you might not understand or even pick up the narrative it's trying to tell. But, if you're like me who gets into mysteries by drawing his/her own conclusions based from the clues given, then you'll be alright. It's funny because the story from Hyouka is like a mystery itself that you have to find out. read more
-Gifted people: Oreki is pretty darn good at solving mysteries and Shiina is talented at manga
-Artwork: both are absolutely amazing at it
-Struggle of the commoner
Slight Difference:
-Romance: you won't get the same romantic feeling in Hyouka as in Sakurasou
Romance between a boy and a girl who lacks any sense of independance. Sakurasou is a bit more ecchi harem, but not much, and chobits is more chick flick and it felt somewhat cliche by comparison.
Sakurasou is as close to Chobits as you can get, in story, in tone and overall feel. Both shows have the same premise, a guy attending school suddenly finds himself in charge of a girl, and needs to teach her how to take care of herself and relate to others and the world around her. While in Chobits, Chi is a super special android who lost her programming, in the case of Sakurasou, Mashiro is a real human girl, but she is a savant. That means she has incredible artistic talent, but she lacks any kind of social skills and common sense, to the point she can't even take care of herself. Basically Chi and Mashiro are identical "blank slates" at the beginning. Sorata, the protagonist of Sakurasou, has to take on the duty to care for Mashiro and inadvertently get tossed into many funny situations, and in time they start to develop feelings for each other, just like Hideki and Chi.
Sakurasou has more side characters and a more branching story than Chobits, and while it doesn't have androids or high-tech, it makes for up it in art and the web of feelings and relationships around the Sakurasou dorm. If you liked Chobits, you more than likely will like Sakurasou too.
Chobits has a tighter storyline and less main characters mean more screen time for the cast. Chobits also deals with a number of deeper topics regarding androids and technology, like dependency, addiction and if androids can really feel or be considered "human" if they act, look and feel like one. Aside from those, it's a really light-hearted, funny and entertaining series. If you liked Sakurasou, you might very well like Chobits, too. read more
Both revolve around a young man who finds himself having to take care of a blonde-haired stoic girl with pretty much no independence. In both cases, they live in a block of rooms filled with people with their own quirks, wants and problems and attend school while taking care of the girl. As the series goes on, Mashiro and Chi become more expressive and emotional and fall in love with Sorata/Hideki.
There are some differences between them, however; "Chobits" is sci-fi while "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou" is completely ordinary, with Chi being a robot and Mashiro simply being an eccentric girl. "Chobits"'s cast is also older, though not by much.
I prefer "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou", as it is better or equal to "Chobits" in pretty much every way. read more
Both are about a plain boy who's new in town who stumbles upon a strange girl who can't take of herself. In both, the girl becomes more emotive and self-sufficient, among other things I won't spoil.
The protagonist in Chobits is a bit more perverse than the one in Sakurasou, and Chobits encompasses more genres, however.
One of the two main characters have no idea how to properly interact as they continue to go with their life, while the other tries to maintain a working environment for both of them that is acceptable to society first. Experiencing different feelings for the first time, both these anime have a fair share of comedy and romance.
Both series takes place at a school life setting with a lighthearted mood. The main female protagonist in both series are also talented but has a strange personality with the main male protagonist.
Both series' main female protagonist are also considered child prodigies but lacks common social skills. It is thanks to the main male protagonist that they discover more about the world.
Both series also has a love triangle as well as other intertwined arcs.
Both series contains comedy, drama, and romance.
So if you liked Tonari, there's a 95.7250% chance you'll like Sakurosou. It's got the same charachter build where there's the quirky, over-enthusiastic, nerdy, shy etc and they all come together in one big group of friends making everyday different and unusual. Then there's your dose of cute relationships with a side of rivalry and love triangles to make things more interesting and comedic.
Both different plots, but pretty similar.
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo are both romance animes. Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is very fun even though it has the clichéd love triangle where the guy doesn't even notice the other girl's feelings and stuff. Even though I don't care for love triangles, this anime was very fun to watch and the ending is just so perfect. Somehow I got a similar feeling from the animes. I can't really tell what it is but I really recommend Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo to those who have seen Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and the other way around.
similarities :-
* both the main female protagonist are very similar.
*they are both stone faced
*they both work very hard
difference:-
*the female protagonist in sakurasou lacks common sense and living ability and depends on the male protagonist to take care of her whereas in tonari its the opposite, the male protagonist forcefully tries to become her friend
Both set in high school and are both are comedies with romance also with a lot of sexual humor. You'll see similar relationships between characters in both shows though one deals with aliens and has a slice of life feel.
Heroine jumps out of nowhere
Heroine is weird
Multiple love stories
There's actually progress in the love story
Made by JC Staff
(Both are in my top 10 list)
Similar main love triangle - "Special" female lead that has lots of people attracted to her unique personality, a secondary female lead that is really talented and more down to earth but has her own issues and the male lead who is in love with the special female lead.
Both shows have a similar setting - a normal town, a group of friends, partially school setting. Also, the script writer is the same and both are the type to induce feels.
If you like Sakurasou no Pet Janojo, Ano Hana has a somewhat "similar" plot as in the supporting characters are trying to make the confused,yet lovable, main character happy. I really like both anime, both Menma and Mashiro have sweet and innocent sides.
- Both animes have a love triangle going on with the protagonist
- Both animes talk about friendship and teamwork
- Both animes have amazing soundtracks, opening and ending
- Both animes are set in highschool time (although Anohana have very little screen time inside the school)
- Both animes will have u burst into tears during the last episode... trust me :P
Both have a heart touching story
in both there are real ups and downs that you could relate with your own lives
and here when a person normally fails, its not that as if they recover quickly like in most anime..they go through all the phases of depression and stuff
some times it may even make you cry
after watching it you will feel
Sakurasou no pet na kanajo should definitely get a dub
Pet of Sakurasou is very similar to Clannad they are both Slice of life anime.They both take you on emotional roller coasters and how sometimes life isn't always fair. Clannad takes you on the emotional roller coaster more often then Pet of Sakurasou. Clannad is also longer than Pet of Sakurasou if you take into consideration that Clannad has two seasons of at 23 episodes making it 46 episodes long. If you haven't watched either of these you might want to take a look pet of Sakurasou to see if you like this type of show because its shorter than Clannad. I personally like both of them, i would give Pet of Sakurasou an 8/10 in the category of slice of life and Clannad a 9.5/10 in the slice of life category. read more
-Both series include multiple love interests for our main protagonist.
-Both series include people with fairly distinct personalities; Including but not limited to a girl who lacks social skills and generally is clueless on how society functions.
-Both series are mainly driven by the caring personality of our main protagonist.
Supporting a friend. Sakurasou and Clanand both follow an odd MCs paired up with another regular, with some quirks, MC. The time these pairs spend with one another getting to know each other and just having fun, creating turning into a memorable journey.
Sakurasou follows abnormal cat-loving Sorata paired up with eccentric Shiina on their journey to find out a path for what they would love to do. Clannad is about delinquent Tomoya and rejected Nagisa helping out others with their personal issues.
Both are great rom-coms with a good amount of drama.
In both series, there is a main male protagonist who has to take care of a strange girl. From there on and out, the two forms a strange relationship with one another as he tries to take care of her and teach the girl about things around the world. (i.e. common sense)
Both series has a lot of drama and comedy that is presented as being lighthearted.
Both series also has an entertaining start/pilot episode that kicks off the plot. Often or not in both series, the dialogues (especially between the two main protagonists) are very humorous to listen to.
•both anime consist of a male protagonist start to look after an odd girl, when they move into there destinated homes.
•both male protagonists are totally different in personalities, where one just stupidly over reacts to everything and its not even close to realistic, and the other its just the usual ordinary boy, and the girl protagonists are just weird * weird as in one of them is completely loveable, yet the other is just a painted doll that cant do shit* imo.
•both are a great anime to watch, *which i mean just denpa onna*, but sakurasou is not bad either, just doesnt live up to denpa, imo.
•both have the generic usual supporting cast full of ecchiness and humour, which makes or breaks the anime.
•they both are the same in a generic ordinary boy looking after a unordinary girl, but you might like one if you like the other in someways -___-

Both are about a somewhat generic high-school boy that has to help/take care of a girl that has many eccentricities about her. Both have a very likable supporting cast that are all fleshed out well.
In my opinion, both take the cliched and make it something interesting to watch.
Both have a dealing with cats
Both Mashiro and Nozomi have similar personality
and start liking the male protagonist
ALSO other females like the male protagonist as well
Both groups act as a family as well
Both anime have romance, comedy, cats and similar main characters (Sorata/Takumi, Nanami/Fumino and Mashiro/Kiriya). The first OP of both anime are also sung by the voice actors.
- Both stories are revolving around an expressionless high school boy/girl who's clueless about romance and even common senses but are writing romance manga.
- Both are surrounded by unique casts with almost every one of them has their own pairings (they aren't harem)
- Both has romance
- Romance in Nozaki-kun isn't as serious as Sakurasou, since its strength lies at its comedy. Meanwhile Sakurasou has some romance.
A wacky cast slapped together for what will probably be the most eventful time of their lives at school. Sakurasou and Monthly Girls both follow some sane protagonist in their pairing of the multiple oddballs' different aspirations to the different things they wish to pursue.
Sakurasou however is a bit more diverse in this matter, actually having characters with different dreams take up their steads to try to reach said position, in comparison to the one mangaka Nozaki trying to make a new manga in an equally zany school.
Both are fun rom-coms for the fans of such a genre looking for something that has a good mix of both romance and comedy. Although, Monthly Girls is more comedy orientated that the drama that can appear in Sakurasou.

These two series give off the same feeling. They are similar for two big reasons:
1) the animation looks a lot alike and
2) the relationships that the group of students hold in each series are similar
Sakurasou does not have that supernatural element though.
Kokoro Connect and Sakurasou both explore the complexities and significance of teenage relationships. While Kokoro Connect contains supernatural themes, both series revolve around understanding the importance of friendship, especially during adolescence. Romance is present in both series and fans of one will likely be able to enjoy the other.
Both are one of the best romantic-comedies ever, and it's not just the romance that makes both anime good, but the interaction between character and story line are also interesting. If you like heartwarming and interesting series, you have to check this out.
1. Both have extremely funny and heartfelt moments
2. Both have extremely authentic and original characters
3. Both delve into the deeper, more psychological part of being a human, and finding one's worth and identity in the world.
4. Fantastic music in both.
Both of these anime are pretty much based around a class of rejected students who are put into their own rejected class (or dorms) away from the main campus, who learn to accept their place in the school system as rejects.
We watch the two classes work towards their end goal, which is, though a little different between the two shows, ultimately to graduate and figure out what they want to do in the next stage in their lives.
Both have a central idea for each episode. While Assassination Classroom deals more with virtues and morals in contrast to Sakurasou's expression of concepts of emotions and aspects of society, each episode is structured in a similar fashion as to express their respective ideas. Both stories center around a cast of misfits and their attempt at advancing themselves and at a much grander scheme.
One contrast between these two series is their ways of showing the theme of perseverance. While Assassination Classroom focuses on the sucess that follows hard work and the fruits of effort in order to convey the importance of perseverance despite the odds, Sakurasou focuses on dealing with and overcoming failure. It contrasts the choice of accepting the fact that the failure is a sign of a lost cause with the choice of reflecting on the failure to improve. Both shows have their own approach to this subject, and both convey their own message magnificently.
And both are very effective in their use of comedy. read more
Class of misfits. Assassination Classroom and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou both revolve around the times of individual outcasts of a bigger order.
Though the stories differ quite a bit, Assassination Classroom uses the misfits from Class 3-E and shows their journey of trying to kill their teacher Koro-sensei. Sakurasou uses their eccentric characters and gives their respective characters the story of their time with the other residents of Sakurasou.
Both anime are for the comedy tastes within a school setting, with Assassination Classroom adding action, and Sakurasou adding romance.
School life, and love triangle. And I couldn't help but notice the similarities between characters: Mizuki relate to Mashiro in that they are both really talented. Minami relate to Nanami, they feel in love with the main guy. Akihisa relate to Sorata, they want to protect (take care) of the talented girl.
Shouko and Yuiji, childhood friend in love (Jin and Misaki in sakurasou)
The differ in the fact that baka to test is funnier
Both of them have a love triangle situation, but when it comes to love, Akihisa from baka to test to shoukanjuu is a lot more stupid than Sorata of Sakurasou no pet na kanojo. And better be prepared of what will happen every episode, it made me excited that I watched it for a whole day. :D
Misfits in a school setting and love triangle. Baka to Test has more comedy whereas Sakuraso is heavy on drama. The main characters have strikingly similar traits. While Sorata is an average guy among high achievers, Akihisa is the dumbest in a class of dumb people. Mashiro is comparable to Mizuki since they are both are highly talented. Both the male protagonists are attracted to this talent, and are strongly affected by it. Minami is comparable to Nanami since they both are attracted to the protagonist but have difficulty confessing.
both main female characters of these series dont even know that they shouldnt change in front of the main male guy but try to create memories and learn the love
Plastic Memories and Sakurasou both have....
1) A girl who knew nothing much about life (love) without the main guy character.
2) A love triangle
3) A history of some characters (that makes those character for who they are)
4) A good share of goodbyes (sad and happy)
5) And lastly, a community (place) that all the characters can hang around and smile.
-(And share precious memories for viewers to remember)-
Both one of the characters "practically" have no feelings but throughout the anime they develop but the end of one is sad and the other is perfect! I recommend it if you like the romantic comedy "Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo" and to have a little sad day, "Plastic memories"
-both female mc are foreigner
-female mc are weird in their own way (teresa is shogun otaku, mashiro can't even live normally)
-female mc has foreigner friend too (alexandra and rita)
-the mc's friend (same grade) are afraid of the female mc's friend (kaoru and ryuunosuke)
-the female mc are joining an art class/club (painting and photography)
-Both anime have a foreigner joining a group of Japanese friends
-Both anime have the same high school love comedy feel to them
-The female lead is a bit dumb in both of them
-Both anime have pet cats in them
The foreign girl enters a new life, along this trek awaits new friends, ups and downs, love, and just general fun. For such is to be expected of school life. Sakurasou and Tadakoi are simple school stories that are so honest to the core about what it is they show, that they are something of a special treat out there for fans of the romance genre.
I suppose these types of stories aren't the most unique (I mean this recommendation really says), but regardless, the execution in both aren't meaningless and do hold a place in your heart if you so do become emotionally invested in both. I know I was.
 read more
Finding yourself. Finding a place to belong. The way characters care about each other. I believe in terms of heart-warmness these shows are similar and I am amazed no one has made this recommendation before. The art style in both series is also really well done. So if you are looking for similar aspects in those regards, here you go.
It's a lot sillier than March comes like a Lion is, but at a base level, I think the aspect about accepting your faults and yourself and overcoming self-hate, striving to improve after repeated failure. I think that's where the similarities lie. But yeah, the tone of Sakurasou is pretty different from Sangatsu. Although Sangatsu can be plenty silly when it wants to be.
Both tackle the ideas of finding yourself and what you are passionate about. Whereas Sakurasou is much more romance-driven than Sangatsu, whilst watching, I kept seeing comparisons in the dialogue and the overall feel of both shows. Would definitely recommend the pair of them.
These two anime discuss the world of creators, wrapped in a comedy with some eccentric characters. Both involved drama, friendship and romance that stemmed from unspoken rivalry. They have similar message and atmosphere, but Sakurasou feels more serious compared to the more comedic ImoSae.
Both stories are about creators who are discovering their talents and do cool stuff together in the process. Romance present in both stories; however, Sakurasou is more emotional in terms of romance.
Both have a main character trying his best to stand out at least as much as their love interest. Imouto Sae Ireba Ii's protagonist even feels like someone who has gone through everything the main chartacter of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo has
Both shows feature artists who is are prodigies, but instead of doing fancy paintings, they opt to draw stuff for the otaku culture instead much to the disapproval of others. In Sakurasou, the female lead opts to use her talents to be a mangaka instead of a painter leading to others pressuring her to go back to painting, while in Konobi the male lead draws 2D girls leading to heavy criticism from his fellow art clubmate. Both shows take place in a grade school environment.
They have the same vibes and pleasant feeling when you watch them.
Similarities
-The girls both paints.
-have good comedy.
-have weird people around
-have prodigy painters
Dissimilarities
-the boy is the prodigy in painting while in sakurasou the girl is the prodigy.
-the boy in kono bijutsubu only is interested in 2D girls
Kuragehime and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo very similar as both main protagonists live in their respective apartment complex/dormitory, also while living with unique characters and their strange mannerisms. Both have comedy, and romance. The difference is Kuragehime is josei, so the romance will focus on the female.
Both have a bunch of quirky, energetic people living in the same household who often find themselves in very unique predicaments due to their hobbies/obsessions.
Both are comedies with a slice of romance on the side.
Both series revolve an old house filled with oddballs that's in danger of being demolished. There's an outsider (who's more in touch with things) who learns of this and tries to fight for them as the day draws nearer. Both are light fare that's good for a nice night in.
Our main character from both series share many traits. Sorata and Kirito are calm, determined, and passionate. They both idealize the creator of said game. Kirito=Kayaba who created SAO while Sorata=Fujisawa who is a game developer. These two main figures have influenced their life. In both anime, our main characters has friends/allies who help achieve his goal. We see his ups and down but always goes back up. Add some drama too. SAO involves players trapped and trying to get out while Sakurasou deals with dreams/aspiration/passion. On the romance side, Kirito falls in love with Asuna who changes him. Sorata meets Shina who does the same thing. Shina made Sorata choose his calling in life. Kirito and Sorata both have the same seiyuu: Matsuoka, Yoshitsugu.

Better watch this two good series:)
They are both produced by the same company: J C Staff. The main characters from both series act similar in way. Also they have similar a atmosphere and execution. They are also both humorous and emotional.
Well in technical terms, both series are handled by J.C. Staff who are known to deal with series related to high school drama in a lighthearted mood.
There's the main male protagonist who has an unusual relationship with the main female protagonist in both series. Among other things, the same voice actress plays the a female protagonist from both series who both have petite figures and unusual personalities.
Both series seems to have a slow paced romance drama with the main male protagonist being part of the mix. He also gets caught into many misunderstandings whom often berates him for his behavior.
Both series also have humorous moments with the illustrations and gags. read more
Both anime give same first impression : Hilarious and pervert

Futaba(Ao Haru Ride) & Sorata(Sakurasou) is same.
Both character want to become better person in future without being burdened by the past or present.
This topic become main theme in Sakurasou but not in Ao Haru Ride.
Both anime also featuring love interest between character.
-Relatable and likable Characters
-Various Funny moments
-Not your typical shoujo romance anime
-Above average soundtrack
-More than just romance.
Differences:
-Sakurasou has enough fuzzy feelings to carbonate the world's oceans two times over.
-Expect watery eyes/tears (no traumas, don't worry)
- Both has Tsundere's / Kuudere's/ Dandere's/ but don't have yandere's [ omg thank you creators ]
Both have similar game creation theme or anime or whatever.....
OP's are nice...
SLOWPACED....ehhhh....
Jokes/funny scenes in these two animes are hilarious AF....
In both shows, the main characters are all trying to create a project of some sort. In Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu they are trying to make a bishoujo game; in Sakurasou, they make both a film early on and, later on, a game. Furthermore, the characters in both shows come together for some reason. In Sakurasou, the characters who live there are all looked down upon by the rest of the school; in Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu, they come together because they share similar interests. There is also well-integrated humor that keeps the whole plot lively, although I would say in Sakurasou it tends to be a little more slapstick.  read more
Some dose of romance and drama. Well-balanced in both series.
In both series, there is a group of students that fight to protect something.
Both series give off similar warmth.
Sakurasou is more about a dorm for strange, gifted people, rather than a club. But the elements of romance and comedy are still present. Additionally, the tenants of Sakurasou must also fight for their home, a place that they hold dear, just like how the club members fight for their club not to be disbanded
Both anime have protagonists that are confused about what they really want to do in life. Around them are all these people that are pursuing what they want to do (and excelling at them), while the protagonists feel frustrated about not even having a true goal. Both protagonists also live in an environment they don't really belong to, and as a result are surrounded by a weird and rowdy group of people.
Ganbare Hachiken and Sorata!
Both MCs struggle with the lack of passion and direction in life while surrounded by peers that are pursuing their dreams.
Gin no Saji is at an agricultural school, while Sakura-sou is at an art magnet school
Sakura-sou has a good bit more romance than Gin no Saji
An awkward but original romance is a summary for both animes. The two anime's involve an interesting plot filled with creativity and interesting characters. Both anime's have a responsible male lead with a not so responsible female lead who are forced to live under one roof. The female leads both seem like characters who have a few slices short of a loaf. They are shy characters that don't mind being seen naked or near naked. But as time flows they grow accustomed to each other. Both animes involve schools and a harem.
If you enjoy innovative animes filled with romance you'll be sure to be entertained by either of them. read more
Both main male characters end up in a position where they look after a sweet somewhat childlike gorgeous female character. There are moments in both anime that make you question the direction of their relationship and despite Absolute Duo not getting great reviews i highly enjoyed this anime for the relationship that builds up between Tooru and Julie because despite rooting for them to fall in love the sweet moments of true friendship is what got me hooked and what makes me recommend it. trust me if you enjoyed the easy way the characters develop in Sakurasao then you will enjoy AD.
Similarities:
-Both are very funny
-Set in a high school
-Romance subplot between characters
-Main character goes through a series of misunderstandings and awkward situations with the people around him.
For there is what we called "ROMANCE" that was created or built due to the pets and the Male MC's personality. The Male MC is definitely lovable and kind. It is Romance / School / Shounen. The fact that I love this anime is because it really have similarities with Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. If you watch this, you'll feel somehow calm and prompt for it is a romance that is possible to happen and somehow really beats up your Heart :3
First of all, both are exceptional school romance anime with relatively slow paced story and character build up.
Both anime showcase the reality and crude side of the real world whereby hard-work might not be enough to catch your dream, however, the 'never give up' spirit might turn things around in the future.
Both anime come with dramas that might get emotional and bring back the feeling of when we first time fall in love.
If you like sweet romance stories with a bit of drama, you will like botb of those shows. Both are quite slow paced but satisfying.
Both main characters have different talents and dreams for the future, so the shows are not all about romance 24/7, but the characters feel realistic and not just existing for the sole purpose of falling in love.
I hope this recommendation helps and you'll check one out if you like the other.
The female main heroine of the series are both quiet, innocent, and their presence gives a somewhat similar atmosphere. Ecchi element is also can be taken as consideration, but sora no otoshimono is more direct than sakurasou.
Viewers can also experience a touching moment in both series.
The both anime gave the same atmosphere and both have some relationships problem. some scene are really funny and enjoyable and have more rarely a "dramatic" ambiance, the characters are interesting and unique. we can comparate shiina to ikarus, both are quiet and excentric and the main boy protagonist have to taking care of her.
Sora no otoshimono have more comedy than sakurasou, who have more drame than sora no otoshimono.
Both are about a group of special kids who experience love for the first time. Both have main characters have issues that normal people do not have, well they are very similar, so check the other out if you watched one.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo and Special A are romantic comedy high school anime that focuses on the interactions between a special talented group of students that live isolated from the rest of the school. At the core of these anime has to be romance that develops between the characters of each group over time. Both plots consists of spending time as a group and growing up in something like a second home. Look forward to multiple pairings, and the comedy that ensue as a result of falling in love.
The near prodigious, and socially important characters all seem to get a pairing by the end, and severe implications are clear at the end. Both series contain characters that however talented, have many issues, such as obsessions or retardations that get in the way of being normal students. Both series contain people who have not dealt with romantic love before.
===Main Characters===
Special A's main heroine is an eccentric, dense, tsundere black haired beauty who has issues with competitions and helping other people, and the main guy is a smart bishounen in charge of an important company at a young age.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo's main heroine is a artistic girl most likely afflicted with Asperger's syndrome who needs to be taken care of at all times. As a result, hilarity follows, such as plentiful changing and bath scenes. On the other hand, the main hero is a normal boy who exhibits a healthy sense of altruism.
Summary:
— Both are about the importance of friends within a group that can't fit in anywhere else.
— Both contain geniuses, awkward first love, and the struggle to cope with reality.
If you liked one, don't hesitate to watch the other, for they are very similar. read more
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
Both have an intresting storyline, and both develops around the "voice acting" (It's a minor thing on Sakurasou, while it's one of the main theme of Rec).
Both anime are heartwarming. focusing on two main characters, who have dreams to achieve. and they work together. Both shows has a similar character relationships.
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 of these shows have a similar style in humor revolving around a romance based plot. They contain many of the same themes while each remaining unique. In both shows, manga, anime, and games are a major point. If you enjoyed either one of these then give the other a shot.
Regular guy with bizarre people. We Never Learn and Sakurasou follows regular students who end up having to build relationships with other bizarre people around them.
We Never Learn's Yuiga is made to tutor the atypical "math maestro" Ogata and "literature legend" Furuhashi. While in Sakurasou, Sorata is made to become a resident in the Sakurasou where he is made to take care of a quirky Shiina, whilst living with other insane characters.
Both are good rom-coms with addons harem for We Never Learn, and drama for Sakurasou. All in a school environment.
Slice of life, lessons on morality and solving personal issues with others.
Fruits Basket is more about accepting others, trying to get to know each other better, and learning about the personalities of each person.
The Pet Girl of Sakurasou is more about being there for each other, solving issues together and how hard work sometimes doesn't pay off.
Hospitality. Sakurasou and FB start off similarly in one entering a new accommodation. From there a story of drama, life, and love playoff, in what are some really good stories at playing with said themes.
I suppose the synopsis of both should tell you everything different about these two anime, but I would go into them both if you are looking for some good drama or unconventional school life story.
If you like harem and rom-com series that each character fight to prove the strongest bond who has been made to MC. It is the one!. Btw it has twists in the end.
Both of these two keep a strong focus on geniuses, as well as the normals surrounding them, and they both portray the hardcomings of both types dealing with the other. Sakurasou has light drama, while Medaka Box has special abilities and shounen battles.
Both of the main female protagonist in these series got unnatural talent that can hurt other characters feeling.
Mashiro Shiina - Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
Kotoura Haruka - Kotoura-san
Both series got hilarious/Funny scenes.
-Both have romance
-Both have lots of comedy
-Both have drama
-Both have a different kind of lead heroine in comparison to your typical tsundere
-Both get you attached to the characters which makes it even harder to deal with their losses
At first Sakurasou and NGNL don't look all that similar, with one being a highschool romance and the other a Trapped-in-another-world story. But if you take a closer look you'll find them to be more similar than most.
The first thing any fan of NGNL will notice is the protagonists Sorata and Mashiro share voice actors with Sora and Shiro. Shiro and Mashiro are very similar in characterization, but Sora and Sorata are a bit more different. Ultimately the protagonists of Sakurasou feel like what you'd get if Sora and Shiro never met as children.
While the plot isn't too similar thematically the series are almost identical. Both explore how the exceptional fit into and warp the world around them. While Sora of NGNL became the man he was in an attempt to meet Shiro half way, Sakurasou's Mashiro starts his journey over the course of the story, going from a hollow and empty man with no ambitions or goals to a driven and motivated hero, trading the safety of mediocrity for the gamble of exceptionality.
Another similarity both series share is their unique visual flair. While NGNL has the more distinctive art style, Sakurasou still has it's own visual identity, a trait few shows can boast.
Overall Sakurasou feels like a spiritual prequel to NGNL. If that sounds like something worth checking out I highly encourage you to do so. It should at least tide you over until the movie. read more
Both are about relatively normal high school students living in very eccentric school dormitories. Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo doesn't contain a supernatural element though.
While it's only a supporting character trying to become a seiyuu in Sakurasou, both animes emphasize the theme about accomplishing your goals in certain fields of the entertainment industry like game design, VA, Manga and Animation. Also their struggle during this process has many similarities.
Further Sakurasou provides a wider variety on the romance aspect, which I strongly missed out in Sore ga Seiyuu.
Misaki (Sakurasou) and Honoka (Love Live) are really similar characters. The two shows are really funny but Sakursou is about romance while Love Live is not.
The two shows focus on how you can achieve your goals by working hard and on friendship.
Both involve a boy moving into place full of not so normal people. In both, the lead male has to take care of the lead girl in different ways. Both have a sort of light feeling with added drama at different times. If you like one, chances are you'll like the other.
Same character archetypes, premise, and setting; but differ in context, atmosphere, and vibes. Nevertheless, in my own opinion, both are pretty entertaining to watch, particularly for those who enjoy a standard love story having loads of comedic value with some harem sprinkled over the top.
Both have a MC who are surrounded by Crazy people and are trying to get into the entertainment Industry.
Sakurasou has both comedy and Drama and Dagashi is pure comedy (so far...)
Both animes contain comedy, and a slice of life. Personally, when i watched Hataraku maou sama it reminded me of The pet girl of sakurasou/ sakurasou no pet na kanojo. This is because the personalities of each character are quite similar. Also, the comedy in both series is quite similar. I would definitely recommend Sakurasou no pet na kanojo.
In your care. Sakurasou and Josee Tiger Fish both follow characters who find themselves in the care of an unorthodox individual, having to manage their lifestyle and everything they need to commit to.
Sakurasou does this with a beautiful oddball Shiina having to live life under Sorata. Josee Tiger Fish follows a disabled Josee who Tsunero cares for under his new job. Both female MCs have this seemingly magical hidden side to themselves, with the two having a skill in a particular category of their interests, presented as if they were the best of their kind.
Both are good anime you can take if you want more stuff that falls under hospitality. They are just wholesome if nothing else. read more
It involves a quiet yet exceptional main female protagonist who has a hard time with other people finding herself growing increasingly attached to a more average boy that understands and wants to help her.
Both show the main characters struggling to find their place among society.
Each has their own sub theme of romance, though each show explores that field in their own manner.
Both shows are heavy on use of symbolism and both carry themes regarding aspects of society.
Though Koukai no Kanata has a darker situation than Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, their central ideas remain very similar.
A story that does deal with different kinds of mangaka having to deal with different, though unique situations. Plus, the side characters are very memorable as well.
Oresuki e Sakurasou shows protagonists reluctant to maintain their relationships with the other characters, especially for a girl who deep down is special to both.
Both stories are concerned with taking care of a protagonist and improving their lives. Both also progressively hint at romance.
Also, the main female lead is a long-haired blonde whose name is very close to the main female lead of Angel Next Door (Mashiro Shiina and Mahiru Shiina, respectively). Also, both girls are in high school and are quiet and angelic.
Both leads live next door, in a technical sense.
Good Slice of life anime. There are Some comedy, friendship, light career story and light romance story. unfortunately www.working is only focus on slice of life and no career goals at the end, also same with sakura-sou that (maybe) doesn't have sequel about next career goals
Both are good comedy/romance/ slice of life shows with a blonde dandere as the main love interest. Both have a fun cast of characters that make the whole experience enjoyable.
Both focus on high school students working hard to accomplish a goal. Sakurasou fetishes this mindset while Hibike! Euphonium takes a more reasonable approach in its portrayal. Both have interesting characters and decent comedy, although Sakurasou's characters are a little tropey (as well as its high school rom-com plot).
These shows definitely differ in many ways but if you have a soft spot for stories that explore the struggles of artists trying to be successful, than there's a pretty good chance you'll enjoy both of these shows.
Both animes are about gifted students pursuing their passions.
main difference: as the title suggests, its more fantasy based with the use of magic. but its used in a different way, meaning its not like a fantasy thats focused on allll magic. the passion they pursue are real life ones like painting, singing, and caligraphy but theyre passion is soo bright it makes it all magically sparkle.
Let's start off with the commonalities and what is better to begin than the obvious? Both are romance-comedies.
They both have a similar style of comedy and to me, both are really funny. The romance in both animes are also alike as at the beginning of both (regards Sorata and Mashiro), it is not quite properly one-sided (as there are feelings but its not really love) but deeper feeling develop throughout the series and eventually turns into both parties admitting, ish.
Also in both animes, the main heroine lacks common sense and relies on the hero. However, the way Ako relies on Hideki is different from the way Mashiro relies on Sorata so if you are looking for something similar to Sakurasou/Toradora, unfortunately it is not exactly what you’re looking for. Both heroines are also similar in the way that they will carry out their obsession/speciality non-stop with Ako binging on games and Mashiro drawing her manga continuously (until she has finished).
To conclude, in my opinion, they have rather similar romance and comedy with characters that are also quite similar so why not give it a try, eh?  read more
If you've had the chance to watch Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo and enjoyed your experience, High Score Girl is definitely an anime you cant go wrong with. CAUTION, your heart strings will but tugged on, over and over again.
Both series have moments of lightheartedness as well as more serious moments that keep you engaged. They both encourage never giving up on dreams, no matter how many obstacles life throws your way. Akira loves to run, but suffered a leg injury and Mr. Kondo loves to write but is afraid he'd disappoint his younger self. Mashiro, who struggles to take care of herself, is an aspiring mangaka and Sorata, who is extremely indecisive, wants to become a game designer.
Both anime are based around a bunch of kids that have extraodrinary talent. I'd suggest you watch both anime if you want a good laugh (at how bad they are or how good they are if you're into that kind of thing).
Bottom-line: If you like to see kids being little Einsteins, watch it; if not, it'll be a good laugh! :)
If you've enjoyed Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo you will probably enjoy watching Tari Tari.
Characters are very similar. They work hard to achieve their dreams. They face many problems, Like when their Parents are against their future plans (Sawa/Nanami). Or when they're giving their best but they're failing (Taichi/Sorata) A transfer student who lived almost all his life overseas (Wien/Mashiro), oh and don't forget those energetic girls (Misaki/Konatsu).. And there comes a moment when they have to protect that special place which they're about to loose (if you watched any of these you will understand).
The difference is that Tari Tari is more focused on Music & Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is more focused on Romance & Comedy. read more
A guy taking care a girl because of her incapable. Slowly but sure there's a little romantic feelings. More than one lovely couples. Unique/weird personality friends and they almost meet each others everyday. There's a "trap" for each series. And good comedy anime :)
Both are Romances and a bit Ecchi
In both Animes one wants to care for the other
At the Beginning the Main Guy is between 2 Girls
In both Animes the Main Charakters create a Game
I find this anime similar, maybe because both main heroine's (Mashiro and Ren) has the same personalities and both heroine's doesn't understand what love is in the beginning of the story.
Both the movie Kiki's Delivery Service and the series of Sakurasou were enjoyable, their plots follow characters that have so far lived lives of normal circumstances until they ignite their inner potential to become something greater, watching their happy and sad moments kept me interested throughtout
KDS: individual, brand new environment, faith in one's efforts even if it's not all perfect
Pet Girl: group of friends, house of fun memories, high school relateable with all the romance drama and social problems
Tonally very similar shows. There are goofs, gaffs, dramas and tears. Ultimately they are both optimistic. Sakura has more focused on romance and on the themes of purpose whereas yorimoi is more on friendship and breaking out of your shell.
Both stories revolve around the male protagonist suddenly in charge of a female incapable of taking care of herself, that barely speaks a full cognitive sentence, and who loves melon bread. The development of the male's romantic feelings are slow and ecchi moments are abundant as more characters come into the picture because of said female's arrival to create a pseudo-harem.
Nodame is similar to Shiina in that they need a guy to take care of them but they are both extremely talented. Both have school settings and each series explores the talents that the characters have.
Both series got a protagonist that have to handle his colorful friends, while D-Frag is focused on humor, Sakurasou got more drama.
D-Frag is a good next anime to watch if you liked the humor of Sakurasou and want to up the humor to 11
In both series there are characters who don't know much about interacting with other people "normally". So many things normal people do every day is something bizarre to them or something they have never thought about.
Also cats are featured a lot in both anime.
Both anime are set in a school dorm in high school that are co-ed with some VERY eccentric students that are each gifted in some way. In Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo's place it was art, in Shokugeki no Souma's case it is cooking. The major basis of the comedy though is still that they live in a co-ed dorm, with eccentric personalities, creating over-the-top slapstick humor with the occasional ecchi thrown in. Main difference in genre is the romantic undertones in Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.
These two series feature the overarching theme of cats! They are both colorful slice of life anime with a lighthearted feel. They also both have harem elements and the comedy usually tends to go into more of the "screwball" theme. The two are highly similar - you should watch if looking for a slice of life with some cats...
Although the atmosphere and setting are hardly similar, both series start out with a male protagonist having a strange encounter with an eccentric girl, and having to live with, take care of, and overcome hardships with (or relating to) said girl throughout the anime. The girls in both series are both often called out for their differences by everyone else, and are highly revered for their unique qualities.
Both male protagonists have more than one girl going for them in the series (although I wouldn't consider either of them to be "serious" harem by any means), and at least one of those girls in both series shows their love for the protagonist in creepy, overbearing ways and demonstrates extraordinary skill in a certain area - although Sakurasou probably pulls this off without being as cliché or unrealistic.
Similar in the aspect of "adopting" and raising a girl. Although in Usagi Drop, the relationship between the two (the main character and the girl) is the focus of the story.
Both of them have slice of life elements, but in Usagi Drop it is much more grounded and mellow.
They are all living in the same boarding house. Each character is quirky in their own separate way.
Punchline is more ecchi and random compared to Sakurasou which is more romance and school life.
. Violet = Mashiro : same characters with the same goal
- Two girls who don't understand human feelings
- They want to understand human feelings
- They live whith a disability (physical and mental for Violet and mental for Mashiro. You have to tell Violet to eat like at Mashiro to get dressed)
- They have, a little, the same link with the work
The male protagonist must take of her
And these two anime is based about their characters and their development. This is, for these two anime, the principal point of these series (not the universe)
But Sakurasou is + a comedy and Violet a drama
(P.S : sorry for my english, i'm french)

It may be a wierd and simple similarity but it just popped into my mind just like this. The 2 main girl characters "Inori Yuzuriha" and "Mashiro Shiina" in the both animes have the same face and traits aswell their expressions . They both dont want to hurt whose they love, and protect them even if it meant to offer sacrifices on their account. Also, I just discovered they both have the same voice actor xD.
Similarities:
•The main setting takes place in a dorm and school.
•Both have a similar feeling.
•Both are pretty good shows (in my opinion).
Differences:
•Surprisingly, Kanojo Ga has some action, something that Sakurasou No Pet doesn't have.
•Totally opposite plot.
•Everybody in the dorm is a girl except for the main character (and this other guy but he looks/acts like a girl so its ok).
•Kanojo Ga is a harem but as for Sakurasou No Pet is romance between 2 people only.
Okay.. I know they're quite different in some ways.. but Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru reminds me of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo a lot. Both of the shows transpire the life of students inside a single dormitory. Also, Mashiro Shiina and Kakeru Kurahara are both prodigy of a certain field, also they both have social issues. I think these shows portrait the importance of team work and the significance of unity between members of a certain group.
Both of these shows are rom-coms with core themes involving the resolve and hard work of creators. They deal with failure and perseverance alongside friendship and romance.
The two heroine are hardworking and also considered a natural talent..
The Mc is preety average and has to struggle all the time to move even a step forward toward his dream..
Their talent and circumstances get in-between their love life...
The anime is filled with jealousy, hate pain mischief and dilemma in choosing between the two though a clear choice can be seen in Sakurasou than in White Album 2...
The Reality of life and how wasted time affects our relation are partially focused..
The
Both anime has problematic characters that cannot go well with other peoples.
Mondaiji-tachi has its view mainly on the problem childrens that are bored living their life.
This anime is worth to watch because it only has 10 episodes and every episode you watch makes you to want it.
Sakurasou focussses on the problematic peoples that lives on sakurasou(the dorm that they live) and show to us the development of each characters.
This anime shows us the gap of commoners and geniuses and this anime suceeded at doing this. The first few episodes does not show any of this but it will be shown in later episodes. I personally thought that this was your typical romance anime at first but after watching few episodes, then I thought this is a good anime and is worth watching for. read more
Both have similar genres: romance, slice of life and drama. Though it doesn't really contain comedy, both anime have a similar theme and aspect of reality and how the real world is out there. In addition to this, both show an aspect of relationships and realistic situations along with realistic reactions to these situations. In my opinion, both demonstrate how we are "human." For example, for Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo, we see the building relationships along with the troubles of trying to maintain it. We see how human they are through their emotions and actions towards certain situations, as well as the way they think, feel and react. As for White Album, it simply shows how as human as we are, we can't always act sane and calm about every situation be it good or bad, nobody could. As humans, we react to situations differently, whereas in this anime it shows how cruel we can be due to jealousy and hate. Therefore, I suggest to watch White Album as it also has heart melting moments along with tear jerking moments as well. read more
In both anime a group of peoples trying to prove themselves to others that there are not "USELESS"
Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise main story focus on Royal Space Force(RSF), a division whose mission is bring human to outer space, but in reality people calling them "troublemaker", "lazynies","crazy", or "coward" because RSF mission to bring humans into space never gives progress & profitable . But they never give up and want to prove it, THEY CAN BRING HUMAN TO SPACE in the end.
Sakurasou also have same story. Sakura Dormitory is a dorm of the high school affiliated with Suimei University of the Arts (often shortened as Suiko), which hosts the strangest, most trouble-making students. But in reality all student in sakura dormitory is......... "normal" student with unique ability beyond normal students. In the end they prove it himself with created a unique game that is presented during the festival of school.
TL;DR >>>>> If you like anime with theme
".....FROM ZERO TO HERO....."
I recommend you to watch this read more
Both shows have lots of comedy and romance.
Sakurasou seems to be a bit more romance focused, but they still have a lot in common with the comedy scenes
Both shows just shine with optimism. Both have some easy, but sometimes intresting plot. There are many shows with cute and gorgeous girls, but in favour of having the same happy atmosphere both shows just can warm your heart with them)
Both shows theme are passion, dreams, and future. Both shows' protagonists initially doesn't have dreams like the other characters who surrounds them. There are "cool, talented, but airhead" main characters (Haru and Mashiro) in both shows and getting care as well as envies (for Free!, it's in 1st season) from other characters. Both shows also have comfy, funny, as well as melancholic moments.
There are some fanservices (Sakurasou's is mainly aimed to guys, and Free: Eternal Summer to girls) in these shows, but not too much so you can easily ignore them (the fanservices), took off the fanservice/shipping-glasses if it's not your taste, and you can still enjoy the shows. read more
The main character is forced to care for a girl who is completely in capable of taking care of herself. The female protagonists are also in love with the main character, except in Dragon Crisis the love is more direct rather than in Sakurasou
Both anime focuses on main characters trying to follow their passions where Eizouken is trying to make anime and Sakura-sou are about individuals living in an apartment each trying to strive for their dreams.
Both anime delves into the details of the trials and challenges of making their passion become a reality. Sakura-sou is a bit more feelsy and for an older audience compared to Eizouken which is more dreamworld-like with a stronger focus on friendship and growing up.
Animation style is incredible in both and is quite different, Eizouken is more concept-art and almost Dreamworks-like while Sakura-sou is more No game no life like with a stronger emphasis on purple, blue and pink hues.  read more
