Fruit of Grisaia and Irregular, oh man. Where do I begin? The badass main character, the ridiculous harem, the overplayed enemies of the main cast. They are so similar it's physically painful. Except, what is this? Grisaia is better. Why? It's simple. Because Grisaia is horribly aware of what it is. It's a harem show with an awesome protagonist doing awesome thing. The creators know it and they break nearly every stereotype it sets. Irregular insults the audience's intelligence. They divert your attention with lengthy meta-explanations and incest they pretend isn't there. Not a single person in this entire cast was worth anything to the main story. NOTHING. You could've changed any of their personalities, destroyed any of their backstories/existence, and the story would've been the same. read more
- The main character in both these series is cold, serious and also skilled in fighting.
- Both MCs have a harem, although MKNR is based more around action than romance.
- Yuuji and Tatsuya both have a sister, which is better-viewed in their family than they are.
- Both anime have a similar feel to it and they have great artwork.
There's a handsome main character in each who is ridiculously overpowered in their respective worlds; Both of them have lots of females to choose from that they don't seem too interested in and seem to care loads more about their work. The girls themselves are, however, no push overs either and aren't just damsels in distress.
The characters are very similar in both animes.
-The MCs are a mysterious, they are both cold but they seem to be attached to their "friends" and help them in their problem.
-They have both a good harem. It's not the kind that have big breasts in an ecchi manga, but more like girls that have feelings toward the MC. Each one of them has a skill that help the main character in a way.
-They are smart and ... overpowered. The kind of character that can beat 100 persons alone in less than 5 sec. Both are skilled in lots of kind of fight (bare hands, guns ...).
-Their family has a secret that they don't talk about to others. We don't know much about and as lons as the manga lasts, we try to understand about what it is.read more
Both MC are over power and are misterious about their past.
Both work for the military or some kind of government agency.
You have harem in both but in Grisaia is more enjoyable because it's not that cliche and also it kinda gives and explanation of why the girls like him not just because he is the MC.
The main setting in both is inside a high school.
The biggest difference is that one has fantasy and magic and the other doesn't.
If you watch Mahouka setting you're going to enjoy Grisaia, and in my own personal point of view, Grisaia is better with a deeper plot and more deeper characters as well a darker story.read more
Both mc's are cold and are viewed as powerful people, the difference is that Grisaia no Kajitsu does not have any magic and is mostly focused on the students themselves while Mahouka Koukou has magic and is more focused on fighting but they both have the same feeling and that is the MC is badass.
-Both have OP main lead male characters-
-Awesome story-
-Pretty girls-
-But wait there is some difference between Grisaia no Kajitsu and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
-Which is Grisaia no Kajitsu shows more of grim side of life, there is things that some scenes young viewers not might like or think might be disturbing but it also shows how life is wonderful ? hmm idk about last part though.
-In Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei nothing to say much of this show just watch both
The protagonist is literally the same person incarnated into a different story line. Very similar in lots of ways. The primary difference being the lack of magic and the addition of fanservice to the Grisaia story line.
Mahouka and Grisaia series have a badass MC with cool support characters around him. In Mahouka most of the support characters don´t get developed and the story revolves around the MC and the MH while in Grisaia you´ll see cool backstories with a lot of drama and action.
With you like series with good MCs, good animation, sound tracks,ETC you´ll certainly like it.
- Both series have main male characters who have pasts that were meant to be kept secret, and military based.
- They are both Extraordinary Strong.
- Each of these characters being strongly influenced by their sisters.
- Both feature a male character who seems calm and strong and has a secret.
- The secret in both cases is their involvement in some group that fights and kills.
- Both characters attend a special school and pretend to be normal high school students while hiding their true self.
-
If you're looking for a Strong, Badass with Cold attitude and with a dark past to boot then this is what you're looking for.
Both male lead are very skilled in fighting.
Both have harem and a little bit of romance.
Both male lead have a sister, one being overprotective and the other is sort of a complex
All in All Both are Great Anime to watch.
Both got bad ass MC's and when I say badass I don't mean stupid MC who charges in the battle without a plan and by some miracle win. Yes I'm talking about calm and collected MC's who uses not only brute force but his intelligence as well. Though sometimes they can be pretty dense.
If you are looking for a main character that is nonchalant, who has little to no emotions at all and is trained to be an ice-cold killing machine with a sister complex. Then this anime is the right one for you. Even though the stories are a tad bit different I would still highly recommend watching Grisaia and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei for their stories and their protagonist. They are both great animes and you will love them both.
MC is quite similiar, from appearance to character it self, they're resembling each other. School themed, one is harem and one is harem like (?). The only difference, one use magic and the other didn't.
Seems like they're at a school type of setting trying to get over some sort of past they had to move on and live life. Each character has some unique personality or past that is gone over and also has a story to go with them.
The dark theme, the romance between some characters, Grisaia no Kajitsu really gives a wave of Angel Beats! back to me, since I haven't cried on a 13-episode series since Angel Beats! Beautiful anime, also they reflect alot about death and what there is after it.
During the first few episodes of Grisaia no Kajitsu, these two shows didn't seem to have any similarities. But as the story went on, I found they were quite alike. They depict how a past tragedy changes the characters' whole lives. And our protagonist helps them to accept their fate. Moreover, they both have a special school as setting, mild animation, and decent music composition.
~ Both feature a mysterious male protoganist joining a school
~ The school is filled with people with troublesome/dark pasts, including the MC
~ The MC tries to help everyone overcome their pasts
~ Both feature random spurts of comedy
2nd half of Grisaia no Kajitsu reminded me a lot of Angel Beats. Both series talk a lot about death and how people behave when they are on the brink of death. Both series feature characters who carry deep regrets after (they believe) causing the harm to their friend or family.
Whereas Angel Beats is about purgatory, where every character in the story has already died, Grisaia no Kajitsu is about near-death experience, where characters come out of scenarios where they are the only surviving person. These issues are explored thoroughly from the 2nd half of Grisaia no Kajitsu all the way through to the two sequels.read more
The main male protagonist helps each one of the main characters to get over there tragic past and ends up solving their problems. The tragedies are also very similar to that of Angel Beats.
Each of the characters has their own personal story, and the series uncovers them one by one. They are much darker backstories than those of Angels Beats though
The MCs both meet a ton of girls which have problems and he helps them with solving said problems. In the Monogatari series, the MC is a vampire and the girls are often possessed by spirits or aberrations (often caused trough past traumas etc). In Grisaia the MC is a trained assassin and the girls all suffer from mental disorders/traumas. Some of the girls in Monogatari also suffer from mental disorders next to their possession.
Monogatari is more intellectual and does things really smart. A lot of irony and methaphorical wordplay. Grisaia takes itself too serious at times but it's a fun ride.
Both MCs have balls and are not afraid to take decisions. Both series contain ecchi and action oriented elements.
read more
Both are harem anime, and have some ecchi&service scenes. Each of the heroines have a dark past.
The MCs, Yuuji in Grisaia series and Koyomi in Monogatari series, although their personalities are totally contrary, both of them have bravery and sense of justice to save the heroines around them.
Both series have the same character designer--Watanabe Akio, so the characters seem alike, especially Yumiko(in Grisaia series) and Hitagi(in Monogatari series).
-MC are both going to extreme measures for people unralated to them
-MC is surrounded by very attractive and unique heroines that fall for them
-MC is the most luckiest person in the anime universe at the same time, so unlucky because of what happened to them in the past that made them to help the heroines.
I dropped Bakemonogatari around episode 9 due to spoilers from friends,internet and I just couldn't keep up with the order to watch
But Grisaia and Bakemonogatari have similar elements. Male MC tries to help the female characters's. both have lots of dialogues except Grisaia has some mature content
Main character goes around solving problems for different girls. The 'problems' in both anime are supernatural but has symbolism to real problems like loneliness.
Both harems with girls where each girl gets some focus to understand them and get attached. The comedy and drama-esque vibes are similar. Just watching this made me think of the Monogatari Series.
Both of the anime revolves around girls who's having a drama in it's current time that has a connection with each of the girls past.
Both does have a mysterious main character who helps the girls.
Both story focused on the girl's depth character that can make them realateable and likeable, well of course there's the annoying loli.
Similarities:
Both of the MCs have hidden, tragic pasts that turn them into cold, calculated, and close to emotionless badasses.
Thus, both the MCs are very strong.
Similar harem type concept in both shows with the girls in the harems also being special in more psychological terms.
Very similar art style and production, had to even check if they were made by the same studio.
Very similar twisted side of human nature shown in both, expressed in the same powerful, distinct art style that Grisaia used.
Watching Classroom of the Elite really reminded me of Grisaia. The MCs are very similar, and the main supporting characters/harem around the MCs are similar too. Even the themes resemble each other to a large extent, both revolve around the protagonist helping a bunch of girls with their respective issues, Grisaia to a larger extent than Classroom of the Elite.
Parts of the storylines in both verge towards the ridiculous. They both have a relatively large amount of unnecessary fanservice, but nice animation and sound.
Classroom of the Elite does the school aspect better and focusses on the environment more, but Grisaia has better developed characters and a more complex plot overall.
Grisaia is also quite a bit more mature than Classroom of the Elite.
Nonetheless, if you liked one, you might as well give the other a try. XD

Both give me the same; Ayanokoji seems like a copy of Yuuji, both seldom express their emotion, seemingly deadpanning almost all the time, both stories are based in an academy for "defective" people (class in Youkoso's case), the protags are deeply shrouded in mystery and they both seem to have had a rough childhood..
The most similar thing is THE MC
Both mc's are mysterious
Both have a back story
Both are genius and badass
And both mc always have a poker face which you can't read
Plot is also similar and both anime hits you psycologicaly.
These two series follow multiple students' lives. The art style in both, for the most part, is bishoujo...Which, you guessed it, means they have harem elements. However, they are most similar for having a hint of mystery rather than just vapid (or simplistic) slice of life. To be warned, however, Grisaia has a lot more outright fanservice and violence, while Little Busters has little to none of those things.
Both of these anime keep an air of drama to them, through character development and interpersonal relationships. They also have that clean, crisp artistic style found in a lot of vn-based anime.
Pretty similar although being quite different.
-Both start off with a bunch of characters of unknown past
-Both keep on evolving around these characters and their relationships
-Both have a highschool as the main place of the action itself
-Both are based on the stories of the characters, and how they all together manage to reach something.
-The characters are pretty the same in basic terms: the loli, the ecchi one..
Both are pretty recommended and intend to go for the drama, with pretty good art styles and music.
Same school settings. A special school, a bunch of friends, hostel life and main character trying to interact with a bunch of girls and helping them out.
Little Busters has an element of supernatural and fantasy and Grisaia is more psychological.
Little Busters and Grisaia both share a theme in which the characters' identities are greatly shaped by their pasts. This isn't isolated to just the male protagonists; many of the female leads in both Little Busters and Grisaia are also affected. Furthermore, LB and Grisaia have storylines that are presented in separate "arcs", in which each arc centers around one of the female leads. I would recommend checking both series out if you get the chance.
They both have multiple heroines with a male protagonist as the main character at the center of everything. Each heroine has a unique past later found out through the anime. However, "Rewrite" has a supernatural theme to it unlike the series of "Grisaia".
Harem. Fun and entertaining story in which the main character: a lazy good-looking sarcastic teenager with some secrets, opens up the possibility of redemption to the hot girls that surround him by helping them out.
Both revolve mostly around a male MC who helps out each girl with her problems.
Both series are originally based off visual novels and thus have many harem aspects to them.
Both series managed to make me cry a lot so they're both successful tearjerkers.
The word 'harem' generally has a static meaning, but Grisaia no Kajitsu and Clannad redefine it. Both are stunning school romance dramas, featuring similar protagonists. They follow the same formula, dedicating a few episodes to each of the girls. Both series are effective tearjerkers and are absolutely heartbreaking.
Both have this feeling of "moe, gore and harem" with them and are based on visual novels. Grisaia no Kajitsu's first ep ended up just like Higurashi would, with this dark feeling on it. I must admit I was going to drop it, but for some reason I ended up watching the whole ep, and I'm glad I did. It's not so bad, however, it has this feeling of "getting worse during next episodes" that I hate.
I guess that if you liked Higurashi you'll at least have this nostalgia feeling with Grisaia, since they're pretty similar.
Both look innocent on the surface but when looked at closer hide dark themes.
Main girls are cute but could kill without trying.
Both main males would go to great lengths to protect those closest to him.
Story goes in similar directions.
Grisaia will give a similar experience if you enjoyed higurshi.
If you give the girls in each series a lugubrious backstory and fetishize them completely and you have two very similar works. The narratives in each are somewhat action based, but ultimately neither feel too far away from being just another Elfen Lied clone ten years too late.
Both are serious harem story.
both MC protects the girls.
In brynhildr the MC really protects the girls eve he is powerless physically, he able to sacrifice himself just to protects the girls from enemy.
In grisaia. the MC is skilled and smart.
The World God Only Knows and Grisaia no Kajitsu are both in the Harem anime genre: multiple girls fall in love with one guy. The first season of Grisaia no Kajitsu and the first two seasons of The World God Only Knows are divided into several arcs, one for each heroine the main protagonist meets. One major trait shared by these two anime that made me really like them both is their amount and quality of character development. Throughout each arc of the two anime, the protagonist and the viewer learn about the heroine’s personal difficulties or a major event that took place in their past, and the protagonist helps the heroine overcome the scars or handicaps resulting from them. Both anime also have sequel seasons with plots that go a different direction than their previous seasons, but have many of the same characters.read more
Themes are similiar including: overcoming personal defects and romance.
The story and romance is a little more grounded than in Grisaia
Has 3 seasons and OVAs which actually constructively gets better as the story/background develops. The anime like the source material has the story line and conclusion in mind from beginning to end.
Well developed themes and character development of the protaganist who saves everyone.
Has some dark overtones like Grisaia, but is overall better focused in unifying all story arcs into a satisfying conclusion.
Harem overtones are downplayed until the last season, but actually contributes to the story in conclusion.
While both series belong to different genres, one thing they both have in common is a similarly stoic protagonist who is always logical and hardly ever expresses emotion. And in both series, they're both mysterious protagonists, since very little backstory is given to explain their stoic personalities. But in Grisaia no Meikyuu and Grisaia no Rakuen, we eventually learn a lot more about Yuuji's backstory, explaining why he is the way he is. On the other hand, Aldnoah Zero's second season never explains Inaho's backstory.

Both animes have similar plot structures and main characters who are poignant in their personality and seem rather cautious of others. SNAFU is a bit more down to earth with hints of romance. While Grisaisa seems ordinary, but really hints at dark humor. What these two shows possess in common is nuanced character interactions and dialogue, whilst Grisaia being a tad darker than SNAFU.
If you read the synopsis of both anime you might think how are they similiar? Well its because they are both unique to to their genre. Grisia is not the typical harem as you learn by the end of the first episode that it has dark elements in it. Yahari isn't one of those rom-coms where all the characters are happy and optimistic. Both have dark elements to them that aren't expected for their genre. In addition, the main cast for both anime have completely different personalities from each other so no two characters feel the same.
Grisaia no Kajitsu's main male lead is simply Hidan no Aria's lead with his assassin mode left on. These Anime's also both contain a lot of the same features:
- A strong male Lead.
- A main love interest (With other party's trying to get involved.)
- In depth Character development.
- An action packed story.
- A out of the ordinary school setting.
There are some differences for instance:
- Grisaia no Kajitsu is classed as an Harem (Hidan no Aria is not but does contain many features of a harem.)
- Hidan no Aria contains humans with supernatural powers.
- Both MC are cynical, has a mysterious difficult past and are exceptionally skilled shooters, therefore they remind of each other
- Both series has a school setting with a slight of ecchi though
- While the plot of GnK is a drama/psychological-focused plot, Triage X goes by action/adventure. Altough the story of them differ from each other
There is not a whole lot that is similar between the two animes but there is a bit. In daitoshokan, the main chracter is lighthearted when compared to the main chracter of the fruit of grisaia but the main premise is similar how at one point or another the main mc helps each girl with something they have or had trouble with in their lives also like every anime of this genre all the girls are in love with the main chracter
Both shows focus on characters who were masks day by day to secretly hide their problems. As the story progress', the characters begin unraveling their masks and being more true to themselves
Yamada kun and Grisaia both utilize a badass mc that goes around solving problems left and right, all while being involving with both the characters and the environment.
yamada kun is more easy going/less intense action wise and overall whilst grisaia is really dark and explosive with action.
both have a harem but yamada is more magic/happy/school romance while grisaia uses more realistic themes for its harem.
both have mc's that can get the job done, something a lot of animes nowadays are lacking in.
if youre looking for a show to let off the steam of something serious, go for yamada kun, if youre looking for something more serious and actiony, go for grisaiaread more
Similarities:
•Main character shares similar personalities (both are strong, cynical, cares for others from time-to-time, etc.).
•Main character both care for their sister.
•Both share a similar atmosphere/feel.
•Both anime are decently long (each has 2 seasons with 20+ episodes).
(•My personal opinion but both shows are very good.)
Differences:
•Grisaia No Kajitsu has nudity while Darker Than Black doesn't have any.
•People in Darker Than Black has powers due to contracts that were made while Grisaia No Kajitsu doesn't.
both anime is about gun war.
-Revy reminds me of asako of grisaia. they're look alike and shares the same characteristic and personality.
If you love guns, killings, and good story. You should give any of this a try.
If you happen to watched any of these two, try the other one. Bot shows shares the same atmosphere and enjoyment. enjoy!
Both shows involve a cast of people who have had tough pasts and desire to escape them. Mayoiga has that "horror" hint to it whereas Grisaia doesn't. Grisaia has a smaller cast than Mayoiga which allows a clear story and character development (in my opinion) I'm surprised no one else has recommended Grisaia for Mayoiga.
Similarities:
-Lots of screaming
-Lots of dying
-Both the shows have a protagonist that is involved with assassination.
-Both have mother like figures who teach and raise the protagonist.
-Really touching story
-You will cry a lot.
-You will cry a lot. Again
Differences:
-One has a potential harem while the other doesnt.
-Fate/zero has a fantasy genre
BASICALLY WATCH BOTH
These two series, both based on VNs, feature similar structures in their attempts to uncover as much of as many of the routes as possible in a very short timeframe (We're talking about a 20 hour VN compared against an 8 hour show, after all).
Grisaia has far more "ecchi" elements to it, and much fewer supernatural elements than Kanon, but the viewer who enjoys one would likely enjoy the other.
Both shows has a MC/MP who can understand the ladies and help them about their worries in life. Very relatable characters, that speaks about reality in RL society.
really worth watching. enjoy!
Main Similarities:
•MC-kun are both strong.
•Both anime shows characters back story of each character. On top of that, MC-kun helps the girl in need and ends up falling for him.
•Each female characters have a distinct personality (never a dull moment).
•Plenty of fan service.
(If you like older/younger sister having a crush on the brother than try the show out)
•Similar genres (romance, harem, ecchi, action, etc.).
My personal opinion but both are very good. I highly recommend you to try the anime.
The Anime don't have much similarity. Although, if you like Kuzuno Honkai you might aswell like Grisaia no Kajitsu. It has Ecchi in it and weird Romance. Its more of a harem. But you will most likely like it, if you liked this anime.
- The main character in both series is studying at a girls' only school although they are male.
- Both Yuuji and Ichika have a harem, although, in one of the anime, the choice that the main character is going to make / has made is more obvious than in the other.
- Both have a lot of ecchi content.
Both contain a male protagonist who helps his classmates with their personal troubles, getting closer to them in the process. Of course, the differences in genre and audience reveal the differences in how the protagonists go about it. Some characters share similar traits, but none worth mentioning.
Grisaia no Kajitsu is like what would happen if you put the protagonist of Full Metal Panic in the events of Bakemonogatari written by the guys of Key with help from Gen Urobuchi.
Both GnK and FMP are romantic comedy anime about teenaged secret military top soldiers sent to a normal school where they try to live "normal" lives. Both start out with lots of comedy, then become dark fairly quick. Although, while GnK stays mostly dark after, FMP goes back and forth with comedy.
Both main characters have undergone some serious training in the deadly arts since childhood and have been made into tools for killing (assassins duh)
Both animes kinda go deep and focus more on the MC's past , imo if not for the fan service GnK would be a totally serious anime. It also shows you the events that have transpired before leading upto to the MC's cold cool personality in the present!
These two start out pretty light-hearted, with only hints of some darkness. The storylines involve high school-aged kids. However, in the final few episodes, plot twists abound and they become very dark.
These series both focus on harem elements. They can have some comedy and light-hearted moments, but something darker with a hint of mystery lies underneath. Grisaia, I think, is a little more dark than H2O. But they are both satisfying mystery-type harems IF you enjoy these genres/themes.
The drama and progression of the story line have a similar feel. The pacing of the shows of smaller cases that lead up to a large multi-episode arc is also similar.
These two series are bishoujo, visual novel-based harems. They feature a colorful cast of characters that actually get development (some more than others) in their respective arcs. Grisaia is more fanservice and violence-heavy, though. They both contain tragedy and plot twists.
-Main characters are very strong indeed. Yuuji from Grisaia wants a normal student life on the other hand Sora wants some action. They are both skilled in some way Yuuji is based on assasination and martial arts combat, Sora is a true no life gamer who does not need anybody except for his younger sister Shiro.
-In both animes they use their brains to solve problems however in no game no life is about games as I said and in Grisaia is more about solving other people's (past and present) problems.
-There is plot in both series
-Grisaia is more of an psychological anime and no game no life is more about fantasy but there is a lot of comedy in both indeed
-There is much resemblance in both I can asure you. Watch em' and you will not regret :)read more
They both relates to assassination.
Both main characters protects a female character or characters.
The feeling you get from watching Akuma no Riddle is similar to the Grisaia series.
This is a very specific comparison, but Grisaia no Kajitsu’s protagonist has an origin story that parallels much of what we see in Kiritsugu’s early childhood. Grisaia has a story based more around a scientific world that has many elements and seems often times unfocused, but the attention to character development also is a similarity between these two series.
Similarities:
• A happy-go-lucky comedy with something darker underneath.
• Characters with traumas in their pasts, and who are struggling to deal with it in their own ways.
• Certain similar events taking place (it's hard to explain this without spoilers)
• Foreshadows the mystery and darkness early, then dials it back to gradually sneak it back in later
• Both have music composed by Elements Garden
Dissimilarities:
• Where Grisaia's underlying plot is more believable, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolote is more absurd.
• KoiChoco is more plot driven, GnK is more character driven
• Lots of fan service in GnK, not so much in KoiChoco.
Both anime have central plots of an MC with a serious demeanor, who tries to help each of the 5 main girls accept themselves and each other. The part that differs and makes QQ so enjoyable, by dodging cliches in present in most harems the show is able to stay funny. So if you liked Grisaia but wished for a more lighthearted, wholesome and a bigger emphasis on romance, I 100% recommend QQ.
optional read
Got me back into anime after a long 2-3 year hiatus. so pretty damn good :)
Both animes gives to the viewer the similar feeling of dependency and sadness that each heroine has to the hero of the story. Also in both stories heroines have to carry a huge pain and burden in their hearts and the hero helps them to overcome.
The two Animes starts with a humorous beginning of the protagonists. The two protagonists are intellectual of their surroundings and will make the impossible into a possible situation. Although Steins;Gate was in more of a fantasy realm, and Grisaia no Kajitsu is more of a realistic realm, Steins;Gate is a very mysterious and mind-blowing Anime to watch.
Both Male protagonists are forced into relations with multiple girls. Each character has a secret that they would rather not share with others. Both stories are set around school life and how each character builds deeper friendships with one another. Both series share Comedy, Drama, Romance, Ecchi, and Harem genre elements.
As far as the setting goes, the two aren't very similar, but that's not the case with the main characters. Both come from a relatively secretive background and have had some sort of special training. They both attend a formerly-all girls academy where they create a harem. The biggest difference between the two is that Juuou Mujin no Fafnir's MC is comparably a lot less fleshed out and more potato-y than Grisaia no Kajitsu's protagonist.
- both psychological af
- childhood connections with the male characters
- sexy ass females
- lots of killing
differences:
- grisaia no kajitsu is more school themed and characters are more fucked in the head
- elfen lied is supernatural and brutal
- graphics are completely different but thats what you would expect from such a gap in age
