Both shows deal with characters who like to stage supernatural fights. Both shows take place in a high school club that consists of one guy and several girls. The big differences are that in Chuunibyou the superpowers are all imaginary while in Inou Battle they are real, and that the lead male in Inou Battle is the delusional one while in Chuunibyou the lead female is the center of delusions.

Same super-power wielding students. The difference is that in charlotte, they have a organization where they gather all the teenagers with supers powers while in inou-battle they are already in a club before they "awaken" theirs.

It has the same kind of guy with 4 girls in a room, where anything funny can happen, except that Inou-Battle has a bit of supernatural in it, while Seitokai is purely comedy. Though the girls may be very similar in both anime, there are some modifications with each of the girls. Anyway, just watch and make your own conclusion.

* Both are a mix of Slice of Life & Supernatural... * Episodic & lighthearted series... * Teenagers with supernatural abilities... * Harem includes a loli, tsundere, kuu/danderes and a male sidekick... * Both series has a little bit of action...and comedy... * Catchy OP/ED's...

Both anime has a male and female character with chuunibyou or used to have chuunibyou. In Oreshura, the male is embarrassed of it whereas in Inou-Battle, the male is proud of it and vice-versa for the female characters. The romance is really similar in how the main girls has feelings for the male protagonist. Additionally, Oreshura is a harem and contains a bit of ecchi whereas Inou-Battle doesn't. Instead, Inou-Battle has supernatural aspects. Anyways, the series both give me very similar impressions!

What the 2 have in common: They both have the same harem genre, where it involves 1 obnoxious guy and 4 cuties in a club room where for the most part the 2 have nearly the same plot, except for some minor modifications. However one relies on a quasi-supernatural and comedy, while the other has romance, also their were some difference with the character setting but even so, the harem's relationship with the guy is still the same.

Both show about a certain club in school. The boy appears to be the weakest one among the club, but he is great with words . Both boys are kind of delusional, Kazama thinks he delinquent while the Andou is just in his world.

Both have a group of people in a club who obtain supernatural abilities from an unknown person. Inou-Battle is much funnier and light-hearted than Kokoro Connect, which has some dark themes.

-Both take place in a high school, centering around a certain school club, and has supernatural elements (chuunibyou powers in Inou Battle, body swapping in Yamada-kun) -Both are mostly comedic with a bit of romance and a touch of drama -Hatoko and Urara share the same voice actress

Similarity : + MC join "strange" club with forced + GJClub & Inou Club officially know as literature club but what they are doing is far far far away from literature subject + All woman members in both club have feeling with MC with lead to harem element + Every members have different and unique ability, some of them almost have same characteristic Example : Takanashi Sayumi (Inou-Battle) & Sumeragi Shion (GJbu)

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

Both have the same school and club setting,and both involves a 4 girls to 1 boy ration, it also features the same kind of character where, there is a loli, a tsundere, a yamato nadeshiku , a wife material and a guy who is obnoxious, however unlike InuBato where the guy is the obnoxious one, in Shomin Sample it's the girls whom were the obnoxious ones.

It's the same setting @ school tho Inou-Battle is more of real powers than having the illusion. 
report Recommended by shirou19
both are about chuunibyou and the boundary between chuunibyou and fantasy is blurring 
report Recommended by Chika_tetsu
Between S; G and Inou-Battle. We can find these similarities: * Protagonist with an obsession about the existence of something, which turns out to be true. In addition to inventing names and perform actions, somewhat freaks. Additionally, have a friend from childhood, which is cheerful and seeks to understand the protagonist, despite being difficult. Although with their remarkable differences, they are equally entertaining, since they are based, something that turns out to be impossible. The protagonists are getting closer, showing parts of themselves that would not show thanks to the actions of the protagonist.

There are characters that are Chuunibyou. Has a Slice Of Life feel in it.

- Both shows have smart and reliable male MC - Both have a expert and excellent sense of pacing and mix between drama and comedy. - Both have excellent characters and relationships - Both have female leads who have equal chance of ending up with Male MC - Both have great OP's / OST - Both have REALLY GREAT DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HUMAN NATURE AND CONTAIN INTELLIGENT DIALOGUES AT TIMES Only difference is one has a harem feel (Inou) and one does not (Yahari)

These are similar in the simple way that both of them have a group of kids that all have a club, and often spend time working together to become stronger, or to control their abilities. They mostly have a very similar feel, although Inou-Battle has a harem dynamic, while Netoge has one main "couple". I would for sure recommend to watch one if you like the other.

Both are harem romcoms where all the girls have superpowers where they go and fight other characters who also have superpowers. Both be pretty cute imo.

Very weird and wacky anime with lots of interesting girls doing funny things around a harem protagonist... 
report Recommended by Lemonaden1
Both MCs are super chuuni (chuunibyou). They love being weird and extra for fun. Both MCs love having dark personas, which I always find hilarious. Both protagonists are seen as weak by everyone Both shows know what they're doing. Dont take it too seriously. Inou Battle is an anime by Studio Trigger. Its a slice-of-life harem, and its super underrated! Go check it out.

Creativity. Using your creativity to unite your friends and to build things with them as well is the central themes of these two series. Both series also use a bright and upbeat color palet to show the light hearted nature between them. The only major difference between the 2 series is the Urahara is a Magical Girl series and When Supernaturals Become Commonplace is more of a romantic/harem type of deal. Also if you have read this far, then watch the English Dub for Urahara because the voice acting on that particular version is superb.

Now they are both harem anime, and I recommend these because the MC actually have some charm to them and it makes sense why they would have a harem and not just by simply existing

Both are shows about the endurance of friendship and features of ordinary life in the midst of forces beyond the characters' understanding

InoBato Is Basically Seitokai No Ichizon With Super Power And In a Club Instead Of The Student Council - 4 Girls 1 Guy - Some sort of a crappy flashback with the red haired girl - With the male lead being a complete retard at the begining and becoming serious all of a sudden 
report Recommended by Malventrix
Both stories revolve around cute girls with supernatural powers or problems that involve supernatural themes. If you like cute girls battling it out with crazy powers, then give these two shows a try!

They both have a male character that is used in a female role. Both have characters with supernatural abilities which are very similar to each other.

Both have girls who end up living under the same roof as the main protagonist. Lots of interesting characters who aren't annoying. The male leads aren't boring at all, and actually have a personality.

Chuunibyou extravaganza with a fast talking male protag in school in some form of club. 
report Recommended by Lemon
At first, looks like a normal school with normal students. However, there are people with powers and they eventually start battling and stuff. Medaka Box revolves around Student Council, Inou Battle revolves around club life.

Main character voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto. Both using flame/fire. One is black/blue while the other just black. Similar personality and a BA too. One series is a shounen series that deals with demons and exorcist. The other deals with high school and supernatural powers.

Right at the beginning, you get reminded of the dramatic epicness you've seen from NGNL in Inou-Battle with the mc declaring everything as it is in his own eyes and the epic music that plays in the scenes.

A group of kids gets incredible powers and that what the similarities end Both may have some dark story in it but that much it but they both are a must see 
report Recommended by AkatsukiUlquiora
JoJo is the gold (platinum?) star standard when it comes to things likely to be referenced to by chuunibyou characters, and Inou-battle is no exception. Whilst I wouldn't recommend Inou-battle to JoJo lovers, but I do think anyone who's watched Inou-battle without watching/reading JoJo should correct that life-error immediately. You must have missed so many references...

The chuuni boy is actually the least powerful when it comes to superpowers in high school.

- Very similar character design - In both shows, the characters have 'superpowers'. - Both shows are funny and lighthearted. 
report Recommended by OOCentral
Both are slice of life / gakuen / comedy. Both show us a school club with an enthusiast protagonist waiting for supernatural adventures :) 
report Recommended by pink_pineapple_
Both disguise themselves as strictly light-hearted, slice-of-life shows where barely anything interesting happens. Eventually turns out that there's more to them than what we can see on the surface (aka first few of episodes). Both of these series' main arc/conflict kick in midway through which are consisted of dramatic events. Still, keep in mind that both of them are Slice of Life shows down to the core. The difference is that Nagato Yuki-chan is a spin-off from a main series and Inou-Battle is an original series. Prior knowledge is required for the former but isn't expected to be in any way similar to the main series.

When I first heard about Inou Battle, I was told it was like another anime. But watching the characters reminded me more of Baka and Test. Both shows feature a love triangle in which a flat chested, tsundere girl and an air-headed girl with a decent-sized (Inou Battle) or massive (Baka and Test) chest pine over the main character, who acts like an idiot in one and is an idiot in the other. Both shows also feature some form of supernatural combat.

Although these anime are quite different, they had a similar feel to them. - Both anime have a main character who can use a special power in a school club setting (literature club in Inou Battle and dormitories in KGFWO). - The other main characters, which - coincidentally - are all girls, in both anime, gain superpowers, although these superpowers are not so important in KGFWO. - Both these series are fun to watch but they also occasionally have more-serious content. - A harem is involved in both series, although Inou Battle focuses more on personal relationships than a harem. - Both have great artwork and adorable characters.
