Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!

Both main characters are very similar. They both have a paranoia way of thinking, blame bother people, and don't know how to socialize or interact with other people. Probably the only difference is the gender of the main character. 

Both NHK and Watamote deal with the socially awkward protagonists, though where Watamote is more of a slice-of-life comedy, NHK brings in drama and a much more pessimistic perspective. But if you can identify yourself with the main characters you will probably enjoy both of these shows. 

Pathetic people in ridiculous situations played for laughs. They're both funny, but only so far until it becomes apparent that Satou and Tomoko are really, really sad and messed up people. Both shows attempt to hit close to home and poke fun at the various problems that surround social awkwardness and reclusiveness until it hurts. 

Cringe comedy and social awkwardness abound! Feel intense embarrassment without ever having to leave your home. Heck, the main characters barely leave their homes. 

Both Sato and Tomoko are not what you would call "normal." When it comes to socializing and interacting with other people, they both struggle. In Welcome to the NHK, Sato is encouraged to come out of his shell by both Misaki and Yamazaki. In WataMote, Tomoko herself realizes that she is not as popular as she had previously believed. After arriving at this realization, she strives to improve her social skills and standing. Just as was true for Sato in Welcome to the NHK, things don't proceed smoothly for Tomoko. While the circumstances of each character are different, the plot of the two shows is similar enough that fans of Welcome to the NHK should consider watching WataMote and vice-versa. read more 

NHK and Watamote goes hand and hand in terms of their similarity especially in regards its main character. Although their genders are reversed, both main characters in their perspective series are very socially awkward and has many strange delusions about themselves, others, and often comes up with random theories of their surroundings. Both series also deals with social problems and pokes humor at it at the same time for fun. In fact, both series serves as antithesis of the popular cliche in terms of how some kids are portrayed during their school lives. Both series' main protagonist also tends to favor indoor activities involving games and anime. Among other factors, NHK and Watamote portrays humor in a sarcastic way along with references, entertaining dialogues, and interaction with various characters. The main character also struggles to make real life friends but does discover more and more through various events. These events often puts them on the edge of their previous situation.  read more 

What if Satou was a girl or vice versa? Both shows discuss the same case about someone with severe anxiety disorder and clinical depression, while Satou is what we call "hikikomori" in Japanese, they still both share the same issue. Welcome to the NHK is darker and is somehow more serious though, moreover, it offers some solutions and doesn't just put the lead character in situations to crack some laughs. 

Both are about a young person who is a hikikomori and they both have a lot of comedy  

Shows about characters that might be a little too relatable for people at low points in their lives.  

Animes that reflect the mental problems of the protagonist to be unable to adapt to society, either by fear or shyness. But even so, he will try with all his strength to change. These two series show references to the otaku culture and of course other series. They are comic series that show a reality in the life of the Japanese that can happen to anyone. 

NHK and Watamote has not that much similarity regarding how the show executed. But they are similar at the theme they explored, which is social anxiety. NHK focuses on some characters with different types of social anxiety. While in Watamote, the story focuses on the main female character who also experiencing the same issue. This make these two anime a characters-centered show with inner monologue in the main characters mind shown frequently. Both also contain dark humour using the exaggeration of characters thoughts in general and inner conflict in particular. Even though both shows exploring similar issue, these two anime can be feel a really different things from other perspectives. NHK has more dark colors used with simplistic and "realistic" character design that can be seen from the physical attributes of the character, such as body proportion and hair color. This can be create a different atmosphere than Watamote which used more bright colors with a "not so realistic" character design. The factor that can be influencing the atmosphere also may come from the setting, where NHK deals with adult while Watamote deals with a higschool student. They also different in the "seriousness" level. NHK, while having comedy scenes here and there, it never try to out of the box of "serious" in discussing the serious issue. While Watamote, more like a parody, a comedy focused anime. So, don't expect something serious from watamote. read more 

It's has a similar comedy as Welcome to the NHK. Though NHK isn't a comedy series per say, but WataMote is and I'm sure you'll have blast. 

Aaah, both have horrifyingly dark hikikomori comedy, it's awkward but lovely. Introvertism is annoying; how to talk with people? A frequent question that introverts get, in both shows that main characters struggle with any social interaction; talking with people. Get on the journey & watch these anti-social fictional characters attempt to talk with people... 

Both shows are tragic comedies centered around a mentally deranged and socially isolated protagonist. 

the concept is basically the same except one isnt trying to become popular and instead is trying to just get out 

Main protagonists with social troubles, trying to overcome their social anxiety. Usually leads to awkward and comedic results. 

Both anime talk about young protagonists with social isolation problems and how it affects their lives. 

The girl as an adult male. More depressing though 

Both animes discuss the outcasts of society, how the cope with such things as it gives us a hint to what it's like in the mind of an anti-social person that's trying to change their perspectives of socializing  

Similarities: Both have MCs that are merely a nobody in their class who both have the same pessimistic personality. Both have the same comedy and slice-of-life genre. Dissimilarities: The MC in one anime wasn't looking for associates but has them anyway, while the other MC from the other anime is trying hard to have some. The MC in one anime sports a cool attire, while the other MC is a poster girl for a dorkster. The art in one anime is way cooler compared to the other. 

Both have comedy and slice of life genres. Both main characters don't have any friends—well at least in the beginning. 

This anime masterpiece also tackles the problems of a loner, however it's way more depressing adding issues facing young girls like how to be more popular and get ahead in school life... WARNING - VERY BLACK HUMOR  

The same pessimistic MC who live by their own rules and always alone, except one has friends (that he didn't need) while the other is longing for firends. 

Both protagonists are highschooler with no friends and entire series has a focus on that fact. 

Both anime are very different from each other although, but they both have a main character who seems to always be un-noticed. In Watamote (Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!) the main character, Tomoko, tries her best to become a popular girl in high school hoping it would be different from middle school. In Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru though, the main character, Hachiman, doesn't try at all to become popular. He doesn't care if no one talks to him. This is kind of like Watamote except for the fact that he doesn't care about being lonely or having no friends. read more 

Main characters are both sad losers to some extent. Though Hikigaya is just unmotivated cynic, Tomoko has somewhat warped picture of (high school) life. Oregairu has romance tag to it, but it doesn't really have much romance in it, though definitely more than WataMote, which is basically just a comedy. 

Both have awesome social outcast main characters that places the main characters into almost realistic social situations, and both definitely have that feeling where you can relate to the main characters too. The only difference is that Yahari Ore no Seishun focuses a little bit more on the drama genre than the comedy, and that it actually has some subtle romance on it. And Watamote focuses more on the dark comedy aspect around Tomoko and her attempts on being popular. (Even though she DEFINETElY has the looks for it...sorry.) 

The same mc whom are social outcast, except one has a club where he was forced to join in, while the other one has yet to work on her social skills. 

Loneliness,Social Life,Friends... both Main Characters are loners and they are having a hard time making friends. 

Hikigaya, Hachiman is very slightly less miserable than Tomoko but still a loveable piece of sh- I mean... failed member of society just like her. 

I think this anime is similar to Watamote, because if you look the stories are pretty the same. Both protagonists are loners, who aren't popular in the class. But the difference between these anime is that in Watamote the protagonist wants to be popular, but in Oregairu the protagonist doesn't care about being popular. 

Popular confident girl desperately tries to live life as an otaku vs anxiety crippled girl who thinks her otaku skills should make her popular. 

Both shows feature a girl that mostly plays games and uses the internet in her free time. A Hikki-NEET-Otaku kind of character. 

- A otaku girl dependent on your tastes. With fear of showing as it really is. 

Both feature main female leads who love gaming and anime. Both characters also act completely different in school and public compared to their behavior at home. Also they both have fairly rough sibling relationships (though for different reasons).  

Both are comedy and slice of life centered on the main character's curious behavior in public/at home, although Umaru-Chan is more light hearted and cheerful and Watamote is somewhat dark humor. Both enjoyable! 

-Both protagonists are gamers girls -The two protagonists has a brother who seems to always be more "Normal" 

Both are slice of life anime about girl-otaku protagonists with brothers that don't want to put up with their bullshit. Both characters are very relatable that it is almost creepy. There are a few differences though. Umaru is usually always cheerful, cute, is good at school, very popular, etc. Tomoko though is basically depressed, not cute, not good at school, not popular, etc. They are basically similar only in the sense that they share an appreciation for being a lazy fucking bumb that likes games, anime, and manga. Both have alter-egos when in public too! 

These shows are connected buy just how opposite they are. The protagonist of Himouto is a girl who doesn't really care about popularity, despite being the most popular, and she is seemingly flawless, not to mention the fact that everything goes her way. While Tomoko is a girl who cares about being popular, despite not being it, she is basically nothing but flaws, and not to mention that nothing goes her way.  

This series is very alike, thinking about the fact that the protagonists both are otakus, shut-ins, love games and anime, have a best friend with huge boobs (sorry I just had to say it), live with an older brother, Short stories with no plot,Little to no charcter development but I have to warn you, The protagonist of Himouto! Umaru-chan is actually the exact opposite of Tomoko. Umaru is the cliche protgonist who is always charismatic, attractive and lucky. Umaru looks like a model, has so many friends,admired anywhere she goes (both her looks and personality), confident, sociable (when not being lazy) with perfect grades no matter how little she tries. Long story short, I recommend this series for those who would've liked watamote if tomoko (and her story) were more cheerful and who cannot relate to watamote because they have more or less of a social life. read more 

They are both about otaku girls. Watamote is more about a socially awkward girl who's journey is about making friends. In contrast Umaru-Chan is about A girl who is loved by people who, Behind closed doors is more of an otaku. They take on otaku's from opposite sides of the social spectrum which Is a cool way to see two different anime. 

Bocchi the rock is more or less K-on but MC is taken directly from Watamote. Just Bocchi didn't get in the world of dating games but rather started to play guitar. 

Both have MC with heavy social anxiety, both can be too real sometimes, both also make a lot of jokes about social anxiety, but bocchi jokes are more respectful and not as sad as Watamote. 

Two protagonists who are antisocial and you get attached to their way of being ashamed of the world around them, even though one has her hobby for the guitar and the other well... hobby for otaku and video games xD The 2 have something similar in the life of a hikikomori even though they stand out, there has never been an anime like this since watamote and finally something that can identify me in the best way, for some it will be sad but that is how many of us live in that reality but at least they do not stay stagnant and develop as they go along. read more 

Both MC's suffer from social anxiety and portray somewhat accurate representations of introverts. 

Bocchi the Rock quite often feels like a tamer and kinder version of Watamote, leaning less into cringe comedy and allowing its main character to develop friendships and grow as a character, yet still having most of its comedy based off the main character's crippling social anxiety and her attempts to overcome it. That being said, if you've ever dealt with social anxiety or similar issues, both of these shows will likely hit close to home quite a bit. 

Both titles deal with social anxiety, and both present its symptoms and some of the thought processes accompanying it quite realistically. However they're very different in the type of humor they use - Watamote rellies on causing the viewer to feel heavy second hand embarassment, by having the MC (Tomoko) humiliate herself in front of other people. Bocchi the rock, while still using her social anxiety for jokes, is a lot nicer to its main character, and presents her in a much more likeable way. 

Both protagonists suffer from extreme shyness and introversion, and their attempts to overcome it turn into comic failures, although in Watamote these are more tragic and somewhat embarrassing, while in Bocchi The Rock! are taken in a more comical and cartoonish way. 

Watamote! is the only other anime that I can think of that not only matches Bocchi's internal suffering, if not exceeding it but also spawned a similar response among the community along the lines of "resonating strongly with a few" and such. Be warned, it's not for everyone and is a lot to take in! As for Bocchi, who doesn't like a socially anxious blob that wants to be popular? Jokes aside, Bocchi the Rock! provides a high degree of relatability much like the one I felt watching Watamote, albeit plenty softer, and no less delusional and self-deprecating. 

While one is about the daily life of dorky high school boys, the other follows the daily life of a dorky high school girl. Both also have less than 15 episodes. 

Like Watamote, Daily Life of High School Boys has comedy of what it's like being a high school student. However, Daily Life of High School Boys focuses on 3 outgoing teenage boys, while Watamote focuses on an introvert girl who is struggling to become popular in her school. 

Both really funny slice of life comedies. Likable protagonists thrust into funny and sometimes awkward situations! 

Both animes are based on people in highschool. They are both hilarious comedies that only has 12 episodes. Both if these animes are slice of life, so it focuses on the main character very often. Dans hi koukousei no nichijou has 3 main characters, while watashi only has one.  

They are both slice of life animes about the daily lives of school teenagers and they both share a great sense of humor 

Both are shows about teenagers that don't want to waste their highschool lives. Both feature realistic wacky conversations/events between characters and many references to other anime. 

Both has main character with social anxiety who tries to get over it. Both of them have very funny moments. Hitori is way more cute while WataMote has more creepy, depressing and a lot of awkward moments. 

Both shows tells us about girl who have problems in communicating with people and trying to make conversations with them or just make friends. 

Both about a girl who has social anxiety and wants to become popular/makes a lot of friends 

Both have the same character plot where the main girl has some anxiety problems about making new friends as she moves from middle school to High School, however unlike Watamote where in the end the girl never get do what she wants to do in Hitorbocchi the girl gets to make a friend in the end.  

both female protags are bad at socializing, suffers from extreme social anxiety but the protag in Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui is more socially awkard. 

two protagonists who have difficulty talking to other people 

They're both about girls with social anxiety. But they're pretty much the opposite of each other in pretty much every other way. 

The tension, the awkwardness, the "leav muh a lonee". All real feelings two socially inept individuals must face, well, partly true. Despite all the detriments these two girls face, they want nothing more than just friends and people to get along with. The Madonna here, Komi, present in Komi Can't Communicate, finds herself in a silly situation of being top 1 in the class for misunderstood reasons are based on misunderstandings. WataMote is the short end of the stick, with the "mojo", Tomoko, being pretty much bottom 1 no one actually knows or cares about. The two go on about their lives, getting into more absurd situations than the last, in hopes for their dreams coming try, friends and popularity. Very good comedy anime, with Komi-san having that amazing dynamic in synergy with its humour to create optimal enjoyment. WataMote literally understanding how real-life "losers" work with all their disgusting ideas and thought processes. Nothing you want to miss. read more 

School life of extremely anxious people (both females). Watamote's more focused on opposite-sex relationships but Komi's not so persistent about the gender yet (first sesson). If you've enjoyed one of them, you'll enjoy the other too :)  

both have no friends in the beginning but the difference is that Kuroki is not beautiful and his character is not good 

both series have a female lead with extreme social anxiety who have a desire to have a lot of friends despite that, plus both series are comedies ( although with a pretty diferent type of humor ) that do have its sadder moments 

There's a big difference when it comes to how the characters act. But MC in both series are very similar. If you enjoyed Watamote, you'll like Lucky Star.  

Both main characters are very alike, as in they're both otaku and have similiar interests. However while Watamote looks at the downsides of being an otaku (and perhaps the reality of it for some), Lucky Star has a more optimistic view on what it means to be an otaku. I'd recommend watching both to really compare the unhealthy otaku Tomoko vs healthy otaku Konata. 

Both are slice of life comedies about a bit weird, antisocial, otaku girl. 

Both of these anime are about an anime loving school girl. Lucky Star has Konata Izumi a lazy school girl that blows off homework/ schoolwork, and uses her time to watch anime, play games, or read manga. Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga has Tomoko Kuroki who is well versed in the ways of otome games. One of the more major differences of these 2 anime is that Konata has friends, while Tomoko is trying to get friends and improve her highschool life.  

Similarities: -Both have an otaku MC which look similar to each other -Comedy & slice-of-life genres -Other anime/Japanese references & homages thrown throughout Dissimilarities: -WataMote is about a girl who has a hard time making friends & being popular. In Lucky Star, the protagonist stays with her friends for most of the time. -WataMote just focuses on 1 MC, where Lucky Star focuses on 4 -One anime has more darker humor than the other 

They are the parallel world of each other. Because both feature a girl of Anime, Visual novel fanatica and a brother. But they are good and they give good moments to enjoy. 

In both series, the main female character is considered an otaku of sorts with a habit of playing games alone by herself. (Their popularity with the outside world is vastly different though.) The main male protagonist is the brother of their sister, and they have opposite personalities. The bothers also share the same VA. Both series make fun of the otaku culture, have catchy dialogues, as well as have the ideas of growth and relationships with family. Both series also have a school-life setting filled with drama and comedy. 

Both series involves a female main character (Kirino/Tomoko), who loves play videogames and other otaku stuff. Both girls wants to make friends, but there's the difference between both girls: Kirino is a pretty popular girl who wants to make otaku friends, while Tomoko is a lonely unpopular girl who just wants to make friends. Under their own situations, both girls has to appeal to their brothers (Kyosuke/Tomoki). Both brothers have an average attitude, but Kyosuke tends to be more careful about Kirino, while Tomoki doesn't seems to care about Tomoko 

The main females leads in both animes are otaku and play dating sims. Both main females want friends ( in Oreimo though she wants Otaku friends). The brothers of both main protagonist have the same actor and act similarly. 

Watamote and OreImo have two strong female leads that are almost opposites of each other but share the same interests. OreImo's Kirino is a cute, popular and smart girl who is secretly an otaku and gets no greater pleasure than playing the eroge and watching the anime she loves. However, she must hide her hobbies for fear that people will shun her if they find out. Watamote's Tomoko is an unpopular, slightly odd looking girl who is socially awkward but desperately wants to be popular. She, too, loves anime and dating sims, just like Kirino, and is more open with her love of them. Both series have funny and adorable brother characters, although, in OreImo, it's an older brother and in Watamote, he is younger. In Watamote, Tomoko's younger brother, Tomoki is more popular than her and she has to pretty much blackmail him into doing what she wants. However, Tomoki and Tomoko shared a close relationship when they were younger, as seen in many flashbacks. Kyosuke is Kirino's older brother and he considers himself to be completely normal, which makes conflict with his much more extraordinary sister. Kirino ends up blackmailing and coercing Kyosuke many times as well, though it is later discovered that Kirino looked up to her older brother immensely when they were young, also seen in flashbacks. Honestly, I'm shocked these two don't have some studio, directer, author or producer in common, and though I could be wrong, I have yet to find anything that connects them. Though these two anime look different on the outside, at their core they are very much the same.  read more 

Both animes show the coming-of-age stories of female protagonists who consider themselves to be misfits in general society. Both shows take a humorous and grounded approach to their slice-of-life material. Watamote invokes a dark, provocative sense of comedy whereas Kuragahime is more light-hearted and innocuous.  

Both shows center around painfully awkward girls and their experiences. If you enjoyed Watamote because of relating to Tomoko, you'll love Kuragehime, which is pretty much a more grown up shoujo version of Watamote. 

The main character has some sort of social axiety about them that may or not be relateable depending on who watches either anime. Kuragehime / Princess Jellyfish takes it a step further with phobias of the male gender / attractive people. 

If you loved one you will also love the other, Princess Jellyfish and Watamote are cut from the same cloth. 

Both are shows about suffering. 

Hurray! :D Another parody show mocking the struggles of vulnerable young girls suffering from severe social anxiety in the most patronising and cringe-worthy way possible! Yay! :D :D :D - Attempts at social commentary - Attempts at humour - Female protagonists suffering from severe social anxiety WataMote is at least self-aware in its character-based cringe gags; Kuma Miko does it unintentionally whilst vilifying the abuse (both mental and physical) that protag suffers at the hand of people she trusts as 'cute' and 'moe'. 

Both have a girl with a serious challenge to integrate into society , which leads to the most uncomfortable situations , but she is determined to change . 

Both make you cringe and crack up at the same time.  

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. 

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. 

Although the genders of the main characters are different, their outcast lives are similar in terms of being alone and spending endless hours in term rooms. They also seem to reject reality and peers and have little communication skills beyond the 3D world. They also seems to have an obsessiveness in video games. There is a lot of humor in both series and catchy dialogues. There is also a school setting where drama and comedy ensures.  

Both the main characters play through a lot of dating sims while having zero experience with any real world relationships. While Keima is able to transition from dating sims to real life very easily, Kuroki on the other hand seems to be having no luck at all.  

I feel these two anime's are the same they are both gamers but the difference is one wants to be popular and the other doesn't care but either way they are both good. If you enjoy this anime you will definitely enjoy the other one.  

Both have similar main character - girls who have antisocial character and their own weird intrests. Conversation is hard for them but they're trying to change something in funny way. Generally ambience of anime is similar. 

Both series have a dark sense of humor, and feature a strong heroine that is considered a "creepy", "ugly", "outcast". These are very different yet somewhat similar with it's form of humor and it's dark shoujo theme about teen girls who haven't really found their true selves quite yet. 

Both protagonists are: - obscure - with low self-esteem - sloppy - hopeless - have exotic hobbies - funny - weird 

They both prominently feature characters that are socially akward and are unpopular. They are also both about making friends. Both have epic OP's Pretty/Fancy artstyle :} 

Similarities: -Comedy and slice-of-life genres -They are about a character which wants to make friends -Both have a character which is interested in playing visual novels and dating sims -Some sex jokes thrown throughout Dissimilarities: -WataMote just focuses mostly on one MC, while Haganai focuses on 3 and has a harem-like setting -Haganai is more explicit on its sex jokes, compared to the other 

Both portray socially awkward characters who don't have any friends. Their goal is therefore to find some, creating at the same time comical situations. At each episode, they try to imagine what popular people do, and practice doing the same as they do in hope to become popular too. The two anime also have a similar setting: the main storyline takes place in a high school, and it's two slice-of-life comedies. There's also a connection between the two characters Sena and Tomoko, who are both otaku who share a passion for VN. 

Female lead with some intense perversion. Comedy style is very different but I believe that viewers will enjoy both! 

As I was watching Watamote, B-gata H-kei kept coming to mind. Both MCs are schoolgirls trying to achieve something, while creating hilarious situations for us to enjoy in the process. Also, both shows end kind of on a stagnant tone. Pretty similar overall, in my opinion! Yamada basically tries to get laid. Tomoko, on the other hand, tries to become popular even though she's a nerdy outcast. And she often fantasizes about getting laid too - so they overlap on that one. Though Tomoko's problem is a lot deeper, as she can barely socialize properly with anyone outside of her family. And Yamada is a normal girl with a normal social life who's unusually eager to pop her cherry. read more 

Both are 15 year old highschool girls.the Main character in B gata H Kei(Yamadas first time)is about a girl who wants to have sex with 100 guys but turns out to be an ultimate fail.while Tomoko on the other hand wants to be popualr with all the other guys. they both hate any type of girl  

This anime is not as painfully relate-able to watch but it is pretty good. The main character is also anti-social but really wants to become friends with the other student. If you want a happy ending for an anti-social girl, this should be just right. 

WataMote and Kimi Ni Todoke share the same aspect of school life plot where the main characters are unpopular, awkward, unsociable, but deep inside, they both long for social interaction; with corresponding monologues of Mokocchi (WataMote) inclined to become popular and dating guys, and Sawako's desire to make friends. In an ironic way, it's like Sawako was able to attain what Mokocchi was hoping for...or it's like Sawako drained every good luck that Mokocchi has. Or put it this way: Sawako is "also" a shoujo manga in Mokocchi's WataMote-world. But whatever the case and how you perceive it to be shoujo+romcom for Kimi ni Todoke and shounen+comedy for WataMote, if you like WataMote, then you'd pretty much like Kimi Ni Todoke, and vice versa. read more 

both are about an outcast girl that seems to be struggling finding friends. though in kimi ni todoke the MC is actually trying to become friends with people one last note: in my opinion kimi ni todoke is a lot less cringe than watamote bot still great animes  

It kinda of like the backwards route of Handa-Kun. 

Tomoko and Handa think similarly of their position in the school life; they think they're unpopular and hated, along with all the social anxiety that come with it. The main difference is that unlike Tomoko, Handa is actually popular. To sum it up, you can retitle Handa-kun as "No Matter How I Look At It, It's *My* Fault I'm Not Popular!" Additionally, both have banger OPs. 

Both Chio and Tomoko deal with awkward social situations, which are often caused by them overthinking or overreacting to certain things. 

Both shows are about girls with barely any friends and has that same "cringe" sense of humor a lot of people seem to see themselves in. Definitely felt similar to me while watching.  

The two animes are based on protagonists who are sleepy and isolated, who only want to lead a calm life of their way, besides living in their own world and philosophy. 

I think we combine these animes a lot because they are more to relax and worry and identify in a few moments 

Both have female main character with dificulties to socialite and both have comedy but watamote is a bit more "cruel" 

both are very funny shows in which the protagonist is a incredibly shy NEET 

thematically similar.  

Both are series that are very relatable to otakus feelings and lives and make the viewer go 'Wow, that is so me!'.  

Both place an otaku girl as the protagonist and portray their daily lives in comedy form throughout the episodes. 

Both anime show how Otakus life is. 

Watamote and Angel Densetsu are both funny shows with dark humor based around misunderstandings. 

Both have a similar tone at times, and Urabe and Tomoko feel very similar. I have described Urabe as a Kuudere fusion of Tomoko and Ryuko (Kill la Kill) and think that gives an accurate preface to her character. I loved both series in spite of them both being weird and unpopular. 

The only real similarity between these two is how both protagonists continue to try and try again to get that one simple, yet so complicated wish to become a reality. Want to be an idol? Want to be a popular high school student? You can do so, but it isn't easy in the slightest. Watch both Miss Monochrome and WataMote if you are looking for some comedy that would make for a nice laugh or two, of two poor girls struggling as they try their hardest.  

Both series are slice-of-life anime and have a stupid and funny female protagonist.  

If you like series with a new story each episode, then Sakamoto desu ga and Watamote is for you, it's literally the reverse concept, Sakamoto is extremely popular, while Tomoko is extremely unpopular, they both have crazy things happening in their daily life, sarcastic humor, etc. 

The main characters are very lookalike: they're awkward and so their goal is to become popular. They also share the same hating for "normalfags". The two series are also very similar in themselves, as they're both comedy with some cringy yet sad moments. Also, they're both sadly relatable.  

Both are female centric, not really same story but both have very similar vibes.
