Very similar animes. Tsuki ga Kirei could be seen as a version of Just Because! in middle school. Besides having the same atmosphere, the romance type is very close to the one observed in Just Because!. They seem very realistic and not sometimes overly comic and silly.
The pace is very comfortable where there is no redundancies that'll make the story boring. It captures the viewer from the start until the end. The innocence of the characters in Tsuki ga is very notable. Probably its what it makes better than Just Because! where they are older.
Calm, nice and very cozy school romance dramas.
Tsuki ga Kirei feels like Just Because! but with a younger cast. Similar colors, lighting, and mood. It focuses more on a single couple, whereas Just Because! focuses on more of a love pentagon. But are believable and fun to watch. Similar music in both as well.
- Both are original works
- Both set on 3rd year students environment, though different grade
- Both have semi-realistic school romance
- Both have cute and pleasant vibes
- Both are quite slow paced, tsukigakirei is slower
- Both show anxiety, loneliness regarding graduation moment
- Both will remind you of your past school days
Both anime give a pleasant vibe...while watching the ep 1 i felt this gonna be as good as tsuki ga kirei ...no ...more than it the school..drama..romance..these are similar.
both tsuki and because talk about a group of characters and the development of their love life. Tsuki as a slower pace and we only follow a single couple (althought both have a love triangle)
Both are slice of life and are set in high school (both in the last year of high school)
Similar school atmosphere along with proper romance that both does not stall until the last few episodes before developing relationships.
Just Because! has a greater sense of realism compared to Tsuki ga Kirei's lighter atmosphere, but both converge towards the same audience and both have a rather heartwarming story for romance, school and slice of life fans.
To simply put it: TSUKI GA KIREI SEASON 2! just watched the first episode and I couldn't stop getting those Tsuki ga Kirei vibes. The characters seem somehow similar and the art is almost identical and it's both a calm and nice beautiful school romance story :)
Both are about school life and romance, but in a soft and realistic way, what makes the animes pleasant to watch. The pace is slow, so it's possible to know and feel like the characters.
The second original romance anime of this year, with central theme of using LINE (like the Japanese version of Whatsapp or Wechat mobile social networks). Up till now, Tsuki ga Kirei has better execution and character development in my opinion, but Just Because is more if not too dramatic in comparison.
It is funny how both animes gave me the same déjà vus of the mistakes and events that happened when I started dating my first girlfriend. What I love the most about these animes, and why I specifically recommend this anime over others is because of the LINE live messages that the characters send each other, a reminder touch of how attentive we were to her/his messages.
These two anime are definitely similar in many ways. However, Tsuki ga Kirei has a much more fulfilling ending as compared to Just Because.
Im very conflicted in deciding which one was better. The endings of these two anime gave me a bittersweet feeling and left me longing for more.
(Rated both 9/10)
"Just Because!" is like "Tsuki ga Kirei", except with older characters (high school) and with a bit more of a focus on the whole main friend group instead of just the main couple.
Oh, and also another great difference is that "Just Because!" doesn't have terrible random CGI scenes like "Tsuki ga Kirei". That should be enough of a reason to give it a try!
If you like true love anime, then Just Because would suit you =)))) I mean.... last year of school, romantic, etc Both anime is kind of like the same. I pretty like them
Both Tsuki ga Kirei and Just Because adapt school romance in a really cute and I would say a realistic way, considering how school romance works in Japan.
The two started when the girl and the boy slowly fell with each other but when the time came when they have to choose their school, (the difference is Tsuki ga kirei was during their Middle School while Just Because! was during their highschool) they did everything to be with the person they love, in the end, it's a happy ending
I support the Just Because! recommendation to an extent I guess. It obviously follows the trend of a more grounded/realistic relationship, this time with a slightly bigger cast of characters that the story follows versus the main two. What's kinda holding back this immediate recommendation is that there's a very different style of pacing between the two, and I think if you're watching for a more grounded romance then Just Because! is definitely for you, but if you're looking for that pacing that is found in Tsukigakirei then you probably wouldn't enjoy Just Because! all too much.
both about school life, both about applying to different schools for the future, both deal with love relationships, and both have some drama and that wholesome feeling.
Both are very wholesome love stories that you can relax just by the atmosphere. Characters are so pure and innocent. Both are mostly happy stories. Colors used in just because is more melancholic, which i like but tsuki ga kirei has much more better art style.
- Both have similar type of MC.
- Both have love triangles
- Both have heartbreaks
- Both about school life
- Both have great characters and story.
- Both are slice-of-life
There are some similarities felt between the two, but that might be because the writer or the Seishun Buta Yarou LN series also did the script for Just Because!
Both shows delve into the personal intricacies of romance and interpersonal relationships at the high school age range and have a rather cynical lead character. Just Because has a stronger focus on the romance aspect while Oregairu has a more subtle approach. However, Oregairu also covers other social dynamics and digs deeper into its characters.
These have basically the same premise. A love pentagon/triangle featuring an eternally bored-looking protagonist. (Hachiman and Eita are very similar in attitude, though Eita is much more laid-back about it all.) They both have plenty of drama and character building, though I would argue that if we take future seasons of Yahari Ore into account, Just Because! has better characters. Still, if you enjoy the premise of one you will likely enjoy it in the other.
Similar triangle love story around MC (not including additional ship), similar character personality, same serious (and rather gloomy) atmosphere with occasional humor
just because is far better regardless whose couple you ship because the execution is that good, better character and more enjoyable episodes too
Same atmosphere and tone in both shows. Common between both series is also the light use of music, no over-the-top drama, and a focus on creating realistic (but convoluted) character drama.
They both have the same atmosphere, And they share the relationship of two people who haven't seen each other for a long time and try not to fall in love
Love pentagons galore. In all seriousness, these are two very enjoyable romance stories. Lots of drama and emotions, but it all feels believable and easy to get invested in. Nagi Asu's drama stems from the characters being so young that they don't really know how to properly express themselves. As they grow, they come to understand themselves more. Just Because! has more of it's drama from the fact that the characters are about to graduate and have lots of uncertainty about their futures. Both have similar moods (though Nagi Asu obviously has a fantasy element to it as well). I personally think all of the characters in both are very well-written. It's rare to watch a show and like every single character; not one that annoyed me or felt out of place. Super good lighting in both as well. If you want character drama and romance, these two are loaded with it. Also they both have great soundtracks, though Nagi Asu takes the cake for the best one.read more
Both of the shows have the same love pentagon going on which give them a very similar vibe. The only key difference is the pacing, the environment, and the supernatural twist of Nagi no Asukara.
I felt a similar vibe on both shows. Both have very light stories - not too serious, not too complicated, not too romantic. Some may find these shows boring but I must say that they are both realistic in depicting real life high school romance.
Both have a really similar atmosphere even tho I consider Just Because much better in every detail.
Both have various relationships.
Both have a really slow pacing.
Just Because has an overall better draw and animation, so if you watched Konbini Kareshi and you liked it, you should be ok with this one.
If you watched Just Because first, you should watch KK only if you... I don't know it is not that good, but that doesn't mean they are not pretty similar series.
We follow a group of characters and their high school / love life. Coming of age if you must. Althought Just because is a little more "mature" if you must and develops rather quickly while Kombini takes a year to all characters talk about their feelings.
Small spoilers - One have a love triangle but the other does not and it's more straightforward
To me both shows had that sort of melancholic, end of your highschool days - feeling.
Both center on personal relations, visions of one's future and one's own shortcomings.
High School Life. Honest-to-goodness high school life with friends, transfer students and a healthy dose of not-so-straightforward romance mixed in. If this is your cup of tea, then by all means go for either show. Orange does have a little bit of a sci-fi setting (and a good deal more drama because of it), while Just Because has a perfectly normal setting.
Lots of drama between a similar cast of characters. There's lots you could compare about each friend group. If you enjoyed the group dynamic of Just Because!, and want to see it in a bit more of a (very slightly) supernatural premise, Orange is a good pick. There are massive plot-holes in the main story of Orange, but if you can overlook that and enjoy it for what it is, it is very comparable to Just Because!. The script/dialogue in both are also very good. Sometimes they have similar directing styles too, with good uses of framing and repeated shots.
Very similar moods between these two. Slightly awkward characters trying to figure out their romantic feelings as well as their place in the world. Irozuku focuses much less on the romance (though it is still there to some degree) and more on deeper rooted emotional problems. Just Because! focuses more on post-high school worries and uncertainty of the future. They both have really good lighting and music.
-Beautiful art
-Themes of (seemingly) unrequited love
-Fairly melancholy and slow-paced
-Character-centric
-Entertaining supporting casts
-Good balance of cheerful and depressing moments
Both feature end of high school romance with a large cast of likable characters. Kids on the Slope is very rooted in it's time period, but both have a very similar feel. Kids on the Slope is a bit more "fun" and "upbeat" though, given the fact that jazz is a huge part of it. Good romance and coming of age stories that are easy to get invested in.
Both of these anime have an unbelievably large amount of similarities, I was very surprised this wasn't on the recommended list already so I went out of my way to make a myanimelist account to do so. I don't want to get too too much into detail but I will say both anime revolve around similar friendships, romance, conflicts, and of course it's a drama/romance/school anime as well.
I really can't prove how similar these are without spoiling it for a potential viewer so if you did like "Just Because!" or "Sakamichi no Apollon" please give this anime a chance! After watching both of these you will truly understand what I mean.read more
I would argue that these are two of the most believable love stories in anime. The stories themselves aren't perfect, plenty of drama and uncertainty, but that's what makes them feel human. They are enjoyable to watch and it's easy to get invested in the characters. Good dynamics between the pairings.
You Don't have to watch Tamako Market to appreciate Tamako Love Story but it does add more character development and insight!
Both Just because and Tamako Love Story are easy to watch with happy endings imo. Both are fairly mature in their depictions of love and don't focus too much on over the top drama and love triangles.
I was sobbing like a baby from both of these, finest romance drama in the game... Both contain love love triangles, & intense intimidating drama regarding it. Our main protagonists are a little dense in both, causing drama to get out of hand.
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
Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge and Just Because! both take place in a school setting, and they have several layers of inter-character relations built up throughout. While Just Because goes for a dramatic story, Tanaka-kun goes more for the comedic element. The male protagonist pairs are somewhat similar in terms of personality, though that's where their similarities end.
While i dont like this anime because of the animation and bleak story. It bears similarity with tada kun in terms of being non harem, shonen. Ive seen a lot of people give it a 10 and maybe this is the way to go for those who liked those particular elements of tada kun
In both shows, the relationship between the main couple is quite simple but serious in a sense that each individual has his/her own personal issues that they had to resolve first before they became true to their feelings for each other. In both anime, you will surely watch all the episodes because the most awaited part (in every romance anime) happens on the last episode.
If you took the graduation part of K-On!! and stretched it out to a full series, added a love pentagon and a bit more drama, and took away the guitars, you would have Just Because!. Well, that might be a stretch, but the moods are certainly similar. K-On!! is much more comical, but when it's time for the emotions to hit they both do it wonderfully. Good group dynamics in both.
Very similar animes. Within the recomendations, Just Because! is probably the one with closer similarities. Besides having the same atmosphere, the romance type is very close to the one observed in Koi to Uso. They seem very realistic and not sometimes overly comic and silly.
Both tell a story about the struggles of teenage romance where sometimes one does not know who really likes.
The pace is very comfortable where there is no redundancies that'll make the story boring. It captures the viewer from the start until the end.
Calm, nice and very cozy school romance dramas.
Minus the gaming element in the story which is more than apparent in High Score Girl, the relationship between its characters feels oddly similar. Love triangles are not a rare sight in anime but how it develops its characters, these 2 anime series have it the same way.
Similar main character, less romance focus but the tension is still there. High school setting comedy with a story based on mystery solving. If you identify with Eita in this show you'll like Hyouka.
