Handa-kun
| You can watch in any order you like but I think watching barakamon first is the right way. |

But is there any important plot point in Barakamon that I need to know in order to watch Handa-kun? There isn't anything important plot on barakamon since in barakamon, Handa is trying to improve in calligraphy while in handa kun it's pure comedy which I think isn't really that related to barakamon apart from handa |
| I personally did not but I might watch it after the first ep,his character is so funny from being clueless |
| I was wondering the same thing. Can anyone confirm that you can go into Handa-Kun knowing nothing about Barakamon and still understand everything? They won't be referencing stuff from Barakamon will they? |
 |
| There are some details from Barakamon that carry into Handa-kun but you should be fine if you dont want to finish Barakamon first (although I do recommend watching barakamon because it's absolutely amazing) |
| In my opinion you should start with Barakamon -you would relate more to Handa-kun -Barakamon is a slice of life masterpiece -while Handa-kun is mostly comedy, Barakamon digs the sole reasoning of life in a comedic way PS-Barakamon is filled with adorable characters and one of the best comedic timings. All in all you would enjoy Handa-kun way more if you watched Barakamon first. |
| I was reading the Handa-kun manga this past winter with no prior watching of Barakamon. I have yet to watch it going into this anime adaptation and am doing fine. So my answer would be no. |

Yea you may get disappointed ..that's also one possibility but once again I would say "in my opinion" Handa-kun will be more meaningful(and maybe enjoyable) to you if you watched barakamon first. |
| It makes me want to watch Barakamon again for sure. They're both two completely different kind of anime, not even in the same theme. |

| i haven't heard of barakamon until this thread and i just watched the first ep of handa-kun and it was still really funny. |

Handa-kun was a lot funnier for me to watch since I already knew how Sei Handa is like. In episode 2, something happened and as a Barakamon reader/watcher, I instantly laughed since I already knew the answer to the 'confusion.' That naturally got me nostalgic, since I was reminded of the exact events from Barakamon... People who have never read or watched Barakamon wouldn't really catch on... ^^ It's actually nice to see familiar faces from Barakamon appear in Handa-kun. There's a much more intimate feeling to it. People who have been exposed to Barakamon can instantly know how a character is like to know why they did something and reacted that way, but Handa-kun watchers wouldn't understand (hopefully, soon they will)... So, it may not be an important plot, but I do say read or watch Barakamon first since you would enjoy Handa-kun more if you already know the characters and references. :) Bobby2Hands said: I was wondering the same thing.

Just like how I answered the person above, references from Barakamon do appear in Handa-kun. You can watch Handa-kun without watching Barakamon first, but I won't advise it due to the reasons I listed above. :) |

| Before Handa-kun was announced, my classmate gave me a copy of Barakamon. And I watched it... But now, I'm currently watching Handa-kun, then I'm going to watch Barakamon for the second time. The reason is because I wanted to watch it chronologically and that's my ONLY reason why I do this... |

| I watched Barakemon before when it was aired, but I didn't realize after watching this show that they are related so watch it however you like :P |
