both anime has a romantic/comedy genre 
both protagonists have similar personality 
both protagonist want to live how they think is normal both had eighth grade syndrome in the past chuunibyou centers around the eighth grade syndrome as the main part of the story but Yahari Ore no Seishun does not 

 

report Recommended by Wizpapers

The main characters in both of these anime are extremely relatable, although in slightly different ways. Hikkigaya from Yahari hates his youth, and Yuuta hates his 8th grade youth. They both end up in a club they didn't want to join and are forced to face their "youth." They key reason why these two anime are so great is because of their relatability, comedy, and romance, so if you liked Chuunibyou, Yahari is a must-see. 

report Recommended by Mar-Sn

Both of these series deal without likeable outcasts coming to terms with themselves and the world around them, Chuunibyou is a more romance focused series, whereas Yahari is more about the characters internal developments. 

Though if you enjoyed one, you will definitely enjoy the other!

this one is not so much similar too oregairu but in some way it Is and it have good comedy and wellmaded romance. 

report Recommended by Yaas_2002

Abhorrent the norm. Oregairu and Chuunibyou both follow protagonists who are against the normal structure of how the primetime of life should work.

Chuunibyou follows the abnormal Rikka in her quirky life of being a Chuunibyou. Whilst Oregairu follows cynical Hachiman helping others at the Volunteer Service Club. In these times, both MCs also are in check with their allocated partners, namely, Yukino and Yuuta.

Both anime are great s.o.l with Chuunibyou being a joyous comedy, whilst Oregairu is more of cynical thoughts on general standards.

Both of these anime deal with eccentric female leads involved in unconventional relationships.

Rikka and Urabe are very similar in persona. however whilst Rikka is withdrawn and introverted, Urabe is the complete opposite, she is fully aware of her peculiarities and has full confidence in herself as a result.

These anime are very similar in setting, genre and character design. What is different is the art, Chuunibyou doesn't have the same ecchi - but both anime are very sweet romance anime done right. 
 
Setting: Highschool 
Genre: Romance 
Female Protagonist: Is strange and mysterious, is also connected to the male love interest by some kind of bond.
Male Protagonist: Is a regular Japanese Highschool boy who falls in love with the female protagonist. 

* The art style is a bit more "new" in Chuunibyou

Apart from the odd reference to anime-obsessiveness, the main male leads are both adorable. Both have slice of life vibes, great art, and spontaneous characters. 

report Recommended by itssimplyme

On hindsight, there are highlighted similarities on KyoAni's Chuunibyou: both are romcom, and both have Chuunibyou-characters with silly antics, and both have enough enthusiasm and comedy to go on about. Both also have Sumire Uesaka (Dekomori's seiyuu in Chuunibyou; Cole-chan on Kono Bijutsubu) even.

For those hungry for more normal-X-otaku kind of romcom, look no further.

report Recommended by Luuji222

Both have enjoyable characters (some suffering from Chuunibyou syndrome) and are in the romantic comedy/slice of life genre. The soundtracks are really cool as well. ^^
I think someone has mentioned this before, but I think Colette was inspired or similar to Dekomori. They even share the same seiyuu, or voice actress (Sumire Uesaka).
[Colette is known to hang out in lockers throughout Konobi, which I think is a reference to when Dekomori was stuck in one in Episode 3 of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!?]

If you liked Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai then I think This Art Club Has a Problem! should be your next watch.

In a way both series are similar as the main female characters are unpopular and struggles to make friends due to their personalities. However, they do manage to make quite the attention at various points (sometimes for the wrong reasons).

Both series has A LOT of humor so prepare for some good laughs. Then, there's the school life environment in a lighthearted setting. Additionally, the main male protagonist from both series are considered normal but their interactions with the main girl often leads to awkwardness for the both of them.

report Recommended by Stark700

An unpopular person wants to be normal and have friends, but ends up acting weird. In Chuunibyou, Yuuta gets friends through acting weird while Tomoko in WataMote is just a loner with horrible social skills and only one friend and her brother. Both Yuuta and Tomoko act "extreme" in their own ways when embarrassed.

A little girl who no have friends, because your terrible shyness and find refuge in your videogames. Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! or simply ''Watamote'' is a 12 episodes anime what turn around in Tomoko's life.

 She's very cute and short, but don't care about your aspect and can't make friends. Live in a house with your mother and your newest brother Tomoki and he's always in bad mood with same aspect from your sister. Tomoko have just one friend, Yu, a beauty girl with big boobs and excelent aspect and Tomoko have jealous, but the same time a love for her.

During all anime time, Tomoko try a lot of things to become a popular girl and pass for inumerous funny experiencies like your dreams when she's make reference sometimes for other animes characters and create inside in mind other world  but  in some parts, is possible see your sadness  and frustration in each failed effort. This anime is not a depressive and melancolic all time, but very funny in most part. I'm really recommend who loves laugh a lot! LOL read more

Watemote is the cringe version of Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai. Or the other way around, whatever you please. If you want more chuunibyou cringe then I recommend watching watamote, if you want a bit more fluff with chuunibyou themes then watch Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai. 

report Recommended by okamikotori

An unusual girl. Watamote and Chuunibyou follow an unusual high school girl, who is unusual due to their actions and aura around them.

Though Chuunibyou follows a delusional chuunibyou Rikka and standard Yuuta to keep her in check. Tomoko acts as a fusion of both Rikka and Yuuta, retaining unusual qualities but being able to keep herself in check concurrently, doing so, due to a solitary lifestyle.

Both are great comedies with Chuunibyou being light-hearted with fantasy-like attributes, whilst Watamote plays with sexual humour, otaku behaviour and anime references.

report Recommended by Carex

They are both short, 12 episode animes that take place in a school setting. The female protagonists both have a thing for eye patches and are considered "unusual" or alienated by their classmates. They both behave differently from everyone else and manage to drag the male protagonists into their strange sphere of influence, thereby setting him apart from his fellow peers as well. As time passes the boys naturally dissolve into the unusual world that the girls are "trapped" in and become a pillar of support for them. The happiness of the girls becomes the boys' primary goal above all else.

An unsettling eyepatch girl. Though Another and Chuunibyou aren't so similar in plot. Both anime does have a similar character, namely the eyepatch girls, Mei and Rikka, who are also both social misfits accompanied by the fresh slate of minds Kouichi and Yuuta.

While Another is a mystery horror anime with students catastrophic position of trying to save lives, Chuunibyou is a warm-hearted anime with delusions and the history with them.

Aiding the illuded. Chuunibyou and Bunny Girl Senpai both follow an MC who helps out someone who is suffering from some form of a disorder.

Chuunibyou's Yuuta is paired up with chuunibyou Rikka in a memorable journey on her quest to reach the ethereal horizon. Bunny Girl Senpai's Sakuta made to help out multiple heroines with social problems in the form of 'Puberty Syndrome'.

Both anime are great rom-coms dealing with how different people deal with social/personal problems. 

report Recommended by NextUniverse

If you enjoyed the adolescent syndrome of Bunny Girl Senpai, you'll enjoy Chuunibyou which is a comedic take on the concept which likely inspired Bunny Girl Senpai. In Chunnibyou the 8th grade syndrome is purely psychological and the goal of the series is never to get rid of it but instead to better understand why the character Rikka developed it.

Ok, here's the thing, I wish I could have recommended "KicK Ass" since it is very close to this anime as a whole, then again, MAL is a anime/manga social site, so therefore "Kick Ass" is out of the question, so, I'm just gonna settle with  Chu-2 for Samurai Flamenco. Since it involves, main characters who ought to see a shrink and another character who just going along with the crazy character.

They are dreamers, sometimes their dreams can get the best of them, but that's not gonna stop them from pushing on. Samumenco and Chuuni follow protagonists with dangerously powerful aspirations, their entire life is based around such and reaching the end goal based on these aspirations. It is simply a matter of if or if not they will reach this end they desire.

Both also have a similar link in terms of the very thing they are, well, geeks into. With superheroes and other middle-schooler fantasy nonsense, it is about the powers, the lore, the enthusiasm. Such an interesting culture to spend time in.

They are not entirely of the same genre, but they are good comedies, mixed well with their other attributes to make for an unforgettable show.

If you enjoyed Chuunibyou purely because of its romance factor, how the main couple plays around and spends time together, then perhaps Horimiya could fill out that same void that was left upon finishing Chuunibyou. The character focus in Horimiya is a lot more fickle and shifty, but the little moments make it altogether that more precious, from my own subjective standpoint, that is. If this recommendation gets you to try Horimiya out, tell them yzhriz sent you! Enjoy! (plus the OP and ED for Horimiya absolutely SLAPS so that's an added bonus)
