Myself; Yourself

The story kinda reminded me of School Days. The beginning seems more happy and the ends gets dark. If you understand, I would say that School Days is darker than Myself ; Yourself. 

They both start out seeming like your typical anime full of drama and revolving around school but you realize that it isnt your typical anime very early into the series. Both animes have a very dark background and there are always traces of something more sinister lurking around. Both uses forshadowing very well. I personally enjoyed Myself;Yourself more then School Days though. 

Both series start off as seemingly innocuous, unassuming, slightly awkward high school harem-ish romantic comedy series but spend the last few episdoes kicking the drama and insanity up to eleven and careening out of control. One gets a hold of itself and pulls together a happy ending; the other... not so much. 

Similar characters, similar storyline, similar style. Both animes have similar aspects in one way or another. They both have a sort of "love-trangle" type story, and have a slightly horror-ish vibe to them with eerie scenes. Both seemignly sweet animes, then slowly getting darker and more emotional as the story goes on. You can really feel the characters emotions throughout the animes, and it's very easy to imagine yourself in their shoes. They can make you feel happy, sad, angry, and just about any other mixture of emotions, so you'll never really know what to expect with how you'll feel after you've watched them. 

Really dark and sad theme. 

Both are Slice of Life that tend to turn strange near the end, and the endings will leave you breatheless..  

Both turn kind of dark about halfway in. The difference is, Myself;Yourself pretty much has a happy ending, while School Days...well...doesn't. Many moments in Myself;Yourself just reminded me of School Days. 

-Both animes focuses very deeply into the story that involves love triangles and one-sided love as well as problems surrounding it. -School Life/Drama 

Both start out very light hearted school based romances with lots of drama which quickly turn much more dark,and both have simlar art and have a clueless male lead(In Myself;Yourself he just isn't told what is happening but in School days he just is oblivious to everything).Differences are Myself;Yourself isn't a harem and actually has likeable charcthers. 

Similar art, character designs, and narrative flow: a seemingly innocent and at first glance generic school slice-of-life makes a name for itself by quickly becoming unpredictable and making use of shocking and unsettling but unique drama. If you hated School Days, don't disregard Myself ; Yourself just yet. To become as f'd up as possible, School Days attempts to evoke feelings of loathing from the viewer; conversely, Myself ; Yourself attempts to evoke feelings of solicitude. This difference eliminates from Myself ; Yourself the primary element that creates such extreme contempt for School Days because the audience is actually intended to like the characters of Myself ; Yourself. read more 

Literally the same school, romance, drama + fxcked up twist(s) scenario. This is bout as close as youre gonna get to School Days in an anime... Though still not as good = School Days is really one of a kind and will leave a void in your life if youre like me and you really enjoyed it. 

Art styles and genres are quite similar. Myself; Yourself focuses more on Character Development, while School Days on Romance. WARNING: If you don't like horrific endings, do not proceed on watching School Days... 

guy goes back to childhood town, and starts to recall things. also a guy surrounded by girls, lots of drama etc 

They are pretty similar in style and message 

- Both have a main character who has returned to a town they lived in as a younger kid (although the main Character has forgot what happened there) - Both revolve around the emotions and past of other characters - both are emotional (although I'd say that Kanon is more emotional) 

Well similar plot line is one point. Lead male returning to the town once he lived in. Reuniting with his childhood friends who now have miserable lives. Plus both stories have characters that suffer from amnesia. There's nice amount of drama in both shows. The Kanon male lead is much interesting compared to his counterpart in myself yourself. :D Anyway, if you liked Kanon then Myself;yourself would be a nice time-pass. 

Kanon 2006 is basically a better version of Myself; Yourself. First, we have a highschool main character that has returned home after leaving as a child. We have lighthearted, romantic side-stories that keep the show interesting. This series was animated by none other than Kyoto animation: THE studio for highschool romcoms. If you liked that aspect of Myself; Yourself, you'll love it in this anime. We have drama. Kanon has 20-something episodes and M;Y has 13. You do the math. The viewer gets to spend more time with the characters which is something that I feel like Myself; Yourself was lacking. Might I mention that there is a recurring theme of snow in Kanon that makes it stand out as something unique among other anime. In conclusion, Kanon is to Myself; Yourself as Clannad is to Angel Beats. It's just better in every aspect and if you liked M;Y, I GUARANTEE you will like Kanon. read more 

The main protagonist of both shows leave their home towns as children only to return a couple of years later in High school. Both regain their memories of their past lives as the shows progress and both reunite with their childhood friends. There are some good drama scenes in both shows and an average romance to go along with it. I liked the art of Myself; yourself better, with more different locations and colours. Kanon on the other hand is 11 episodes longer than myself; yourself, giving time for the character developments of more characters. Kanon is a bit more of a harem than myself; yourself, but I am sure that if you liked the feel of the one show you will also like the feel of the other.  read more 

Both stories have the theme of "guy returns to his hometown after years of absence". The protagonists rekindle friendships, and live their old-new lives. Both are high school stories from the 2000s with the good ole' repeating theme of appearing at first as romance stories, but they're actually giant past tragedy stories that are like huge blisters on the feet that just pop one by one. During the shows, the characters begin to reveal their awful pasts and tragedies. 

At first, it looks like a school slice of life with a bit of romance and harem, but in the end it ends up beind SO much more than that. Both reach a certain depth in predestined relationships, even if the show doesn't focus on it. 

well, the biggest similarity between that TV series is that both of them are treating about *school times*, so you know - in general school, friends, boyfriends&girlfriends, first love, family, intrests etc. but in my opinion 'Myself;Yourself' has a more mature attitude to these issues and shows the life of teenagers which is not always as colorful as somebody might think.That anime have a deep insight into serious youth's problems, such as difficult past or family conflicts, which are sometimes downgraded by other productions. The plot stays in your mind and makes you think. moreover, it's well-done and watching is a great pleasure! I would recommend it for everybody - the anime has only 13 episodes, but it's really worth watching. I guess that's currently my fav ;) 'Clannad' was more like a pure entertainment for me - makes you really relaxed ;)! the biggest advantage of that series is a great sense of humour - it really makes you laugh outloud at times ^_- Dialogues are great and characteres very nice, especially Tomoya-kun ^^. but if you are 'anime obsessed ' and usually prefer sth which forces you to think about various issues , you may be disappointed and bored at times.  read more 

Slice of life, Romance mixed with side stories for each individual characters. Both animes are tear tearjerkers and very sweet dramas, Myself, Yourself has a much happier ending though. 

Both are Harem style anime dealing with love, drama, comedy and friendship between teens but have their own unique tastes which make them good. Both animes have their share of tender and sad romantic moments.  

really dramatic romance anime stories.. myself yourself is really slice of life genre meanwhile clannad's supernatural but it's slice of life too...  

Looking for more touching anime drama? Myself Yourself and Clannad is a great one if you want a story that pulls you in! 

Both are high school stories from the 2000s with the good ole' repeating theme of appearing at first as romance stories, but they're actually giant past tragedy stories that are like huge blisters on the feet that just pop one by one. During the shows, the characters begin to reveal their awful pasts and tragedies. 

both have a dark side to them, and becomes deeper the more you watch. ef has more emotional drama, tho both have mysteries. 

real life romantic drama with thick plots which will have you on the edge of your seats waiting for what happens next. i couldnt stop watching them once i started.  

Same art style, same feeling u get from watching it. 

Both are romance anime, focusing on troublesome couples. 

Anime based on a romance, with a very original story and with a touch of drama 

One of the main girls in ef and the main one in m;y are depressed and have an avoidant personality. Also, both are adapted from visual novels. Both have a teenage cast in a small-town setting, except ef was set in both Australia and Japan, which gave it the aesthetic upper hand plus shaft's visuals and the colour template being richer. 

Both animes have a simular feel to it. As soon as I started watching Myself; Yourself it reminded me of H2O. They both have a quite simular storyline, though it's still different enough to make it original. If you liked one, you'll probably like the other one as well! 

Both have around 13 episodes! lol kidding. Both have touchy romance, they don't have stupid ecchi and they're bound to leave a long-lasting impression on your mind with the good looking characters, friendship, the love and the soundtracks. If you're a fan of teh romance genre, this one's a must-watch for you. 

I think that "Myself: Yourself" is quite similar to "H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~". Both start with guy coming to town and meeting the girls. Also in the beginning we see ecchi on both anime. Hayami ("H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~") and Nanaka ("Myself: Yourself") have similar characters and changes their personalities because of fire. Voice actress of Nanaka also voiced Takuma ("H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~"). Both Sana ("Myself: Yourself") and Takuma have sad past before coming to the town. But in my opinion "Myself: Yourself" is a little darker than "H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~", but both turn really depressing towards the end. read more 

These are similar because they make you think, they provoke you and try to relate to you. It's very touching so I suggest them to you. 

The female leads in the stories seem to be in a very similar state of mind when meeting the male leads. These two stories in particular are as if they are shoes of the same pair. 

Both start out as your normal mediocre harem anime for a good amount of it... But then, in the last five episodes, all of the sudden everything gets really dark and twisted, with pasts revealed and several plot twists! No more harem fluff, just drama! However, they both have good ends though (well, barely in H2O). Oh, and the main female lead is tsundere! And has a dark past! The male lead also has a dark past in there somewhere too!  

One of the best representatives of a genre. Very beautiful histories with a shade of grief 

These are both tragic love stories, and both have a happy ending in them. Not only that but its comedic just like clannad was (well in the beggining xP). Myself; Yourself AND clannad, are my 2 favorite animes hands down. 

Both anime show the pain and hardship that had to be endured during the relationship. Both has a bit of comedy in it. Clannad is a bit more dramatic and imo clannad does a better job of making you feel the emotion but both anime taught me a lot.  

Both Have a strong cast of characters, a cheery start with a somewhat misleading OP, deep development among all characters, and both will certainly terrorize you emotionally to some level. Watch at you're own discretion.  

Anime based on a romance, with a very original story and with a touch of drama 

They both involve a somewhat large cast of students dealing with their own issues. It seems like your typical harem judging by the profile of the anime, but there's a lot more behind that Myself;Yourself and Clannad: After Story lean towards the depressing side yet the animes & their plots are very enjoyable from the beginning until the end 

Main character returns to the town he lived in as a child and finds people he knew from back then. Both are dark and gloomy anime and have a feeling of mystery about them. 

Both have dark setting, boy returning back to town, meeting childhood friends and twincest. 

Returning to his hometown. Childhood friends. 

Drama, better than average plot 

YnS main plot and M;Y side/subplot are similar in that they deal with incest. Both anime tell the story/arc near the end of their season. Where YnS deals with both MC, M;Y is focused on the "supporting IMO" BroSis. Both anime leave an open ending where both respective siblings move out of the country after a taboo/scandal respectively was found out by the locals, YnS was voluntarily while M;Y was forced. 

If you enjoyed the friendship aspect of the characters in one anime, I recommend the other. Both shows have the theme of a group of childhood friends reuniting after a long time. While I think Myself; Yourself deals with a few darker aspects (and although one show is a few years older than the other), overcoming past quarrels/issues to reunite and rediscover old friendship bonds is prevalent in both anime - as well as they can both be considered emotional, slice-of-life, short anime series with a pinch of romance that have made at least someone out there shed a few unexpected tears. 

Both of them are about a group of friends that used to meet when they were younger and after some time that they split off by some reason. Then when they're teeangers, start hanging up again and they realized that some of them have some black past , that are trying to fight with.... 

Both are about a group of childhood friends who lost one member(In Myself;Yourself he moved while in Ano Hana he died),and now they have returned and reunited with their friends only to find they have changed and both are drama-romances.Ano Hana has a supernatural twist while Myself;Yourself is much more dark. 

Childhood friendships and a dark past  

High school romance with drama, tragedies, twists and turns. Similar concepts with different executions. 

They both have the same feeling of something dark happening to the main female character while the main male character has no idea why. 

Myself ; Yourself has the same dramatic feelings as True Tears. Both anime are also in the same genres. I enjoyed both of them, and while Myself ; Yourself's story was different than True Tears's, it reminded me of the other. If you liked one you should definitely try the other one. 

Both of Myself ; yourself And True tears give you an atmosphere of romance and drama, wich makes your heart break into a little pieces. But the characters personality are little bit different, 'cause in myself ; yourself don't include harem although true tears including it. There is also comedy themes mixed with romance fact that makes both of the shows more interesting. 

Both anime's character design is similar and both gives same vibes. Sweet love story between both anime's characters and heart warming anime. Myself; Yourself is very similar to true tears, you should go for it if you like true tears. 

- both are sad dramas ( kimi ga nozumu eien felt a tad bit sadder) -have a school theme - have a romance genre -love triangles involved -main character has gone through some sort of traumatizing event in the past - includes a timeskip at the very beggining of the series, characters are shown to have a drastic change in character( nanaka in myselfyourself and akane in kimi ga nozumu eien) 

While Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is more about a love triangle and Myself;Yourself has a harem façade, both deal brilliantly with how everyday life can become harsh when 'love' is involved. They also share a unique depressive mood that makes them so delectable to watch. 

both series consists of one guy and six girls with one of them being a teacher 

Both shows focus on a MC returning to a town he left years ago and he returns and reunites with his old friends only to find out things aren't the same as before 

Both series contain the theme of moving to a new place and making friends. However, the past comes back as old friends rekindle and circumstances are set. These 2 series both takes place at school, involves drama, romance, and a few misunderstandings.  

In both, the main girl from the harem (and also,the one that the M/C has feelings for), is in "denial" at first.Acts like a kundere, but in the end she shows her real side. 

Both stories are about childhood friends. In LB the friends have been together their whole lives, in M;Y the main character returns to the town he lived in as a child. If you like LB or especially Kanon you most likely enjoy M;Y and vise versa. Both shows leave you in a happy mood. They also teach you about one of the strongest things ever, the bond of friendship  

Myself; Yourself failed to pack comedy along with it but have really intense relationship build-up throughout its 12 episodes, unlike toradora's 26 episodes length. The tension in the "atmosphere" for Myself; Yourself builds up real quick and carries on long, whereas for Toradora!, it builds up really late, like the last one-third of the story. But overall, both are really good and worth watching!
