A mix between Boku Wa Tomodachi ga Sakunai and Medaka Box. I enjoy it but the plot & characters is identical; the only major difference is the MC's attitude.

- MC with no friends and no social life joins clubs with few people (only girls, how fortunate!) / Boku
- The girls act rudely towards the MC at first and then they start to fall for him / Boku
- The main girl (1st one) is flat chest and rude, the second girl is busty and has the brain of a bird / Boku
- The club is there to help other people / Medaka
- Many more things in common

I hope the plot twists are at least different..

No , They are not.

So ? it happens in tons of romcoms and this anime is using the character tropes and cliches in a tasteful manner plus there is only 2 girls..
OfficialGuts said:

Whoa ? you never heard of the word ''tsundere''? and actually Boku only had one ''Sena''.
Yukino is just being herself with him and so far there is no signs that shows she is romanticly interested in him. As for Yui I don't remember her being rude she mention that Hikki is deperssing from time to time or gets mad at him when he makes fun of her , she is usually nice to him I don't see your point.

.... What ? big breasted girls are usually played as dumb and that's not even exculsive to anime.. and Yui isn't even dumb to begin with.
OfficialGuts said:
- The club is there to help other people / Medaka

For only that reason you think it is resembles Medaka and it turns into a battle shounen btw.
Having a club that helps people isn't that rare : ( SKET dance , Okami-san , MM , etc..)

I am sure you are also wrong.

I dropped Medaka after a few episodes so I wouldn't know about the rest (watched 4-5 episodes).. And I still think (even after what you stated) that the plot is identical to Boku, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I DON'T ENJOY IT.

Who cares about you enjoying it or not ? if it's identical to boku then prove it by saying something actually legit they share in common .-.

In case you missed it this anime is cynical towards RomCom Light novels heck you don't even need to watch it , the name already implies it .And hikki is as original as it gonna get in RomCom anime.

whatever in my mind the characters and the things that they are involved in are really similar to Boku so if you don't agree, good thats your opinion and I have mine. I know that MAL, as every other online forums, doesn't accept or should I say reject any thing different from the popular way of thinking but I'm entitled to my opinion and felt like sharing it.

how? he basically pointed out that my statements applied to many other rom/coms, but what makes this show similar to Boku is that they are ALL used in this plot.

Can i ask why did you create this thread to begin with? Also your 1st and 2nd point applies to many animes which belong to this genre. 3rd and 4th point are very very bad. The 3rd point is completely wrong you know that right?

Let's say, Hachiman and his sisters have ahoge similar to Araragi from Monogatari series, also their attitude is a bit similar. So does it make Yahari similar to Bakemonogatari? There are lots of clubs in animes which help people and since you didn't finish MB you don't know what that show is really about.

It wouldn't hurt you to further explain why you think it is similar to boku , this forum is for discussing after all.

How about the stuff that are actually original and different from other romcoms ? since they are more of that than those little similarities.. at least mention something big or definite to claim they are identical.
This is the same as saying One piece , Naruto and dragon ball are identical because they have a goofy strong main character who likes to eat a lot.

felt like it since after watching a few episodes it looked really similar to Boku. MB is just something that came to mind but you can cross that one out if you want. Also.. aren't forums suppose to be there so you can discuss your opinions. Sure I understand that maybe my points were wrong, good, but that still does give me the right to talk about it in the first place. If you disagree say so and I will gladly reconsider my points later on.

the show is freakin' 4 episodes in, it was my opinion based on those. If it doesn't follow the same path in the following episodes than fine.

Sigh looks like some people didn't get the point of this post.. ^^;;
Ahaha, why are all you guys bashing on this guy? He's entitled to his opinion and its not like he hates the show. Plus, his points do make sense. In case most of you guys didn't realize it yet, most attributes in school life (most anime in general but school life usually has the most) SOL has huge influences/factors from other animes and play on the same genre, progression, ect but it takes awhile to find patterns and how it still has underlaying foundations that make it unique.
If you bothered to check w/o bashing you would have noticed hes only watched 37 animes so it makes sense why he would ask an anime seems so similar to another one.

So now lets go with how his points makes sense that was "destroyed in minutes"
1. Both MC's of boku and this couldn't make friends because they entered school late after people make their cliques. They both have younger sisters and they both end up joining a club and it starts off with 2 girls and him. The first two girls end up being the heroines of the anime.
2. Yozora and Yukino are both kuudere (not tsundere) and other main girls both have big breasts and are airheads.
3. His other points are kind of self explanatory- the point is his that this anime follows the same starting point. But Im sure it will divulge later so its probably only the beginning that appears similar
SOOOOoo

1.point: nope Hikki had problem in socialising from elementary School but tried mant time get over that.

2.point:nope Yui isn't particulary airhead, just not on same level as other two (big breast? Check).
Yuki and Yozora are indeed kuudere, but aside of that they are completely opposite . Yozora lies and drag people down. Yuki never lies and pull people up (or at least trying )

3.point: it did already.

I don't exactly approve of them bashing on the guy so much, but it's fairly reasonable that they are fed up with the constant comparison to Haganai that this show is getting.

The problem lies in the fact that a lot of people think that a show is similar if there are a lot of characters or aspects of the show that look similar on paper. This doesn't take into consideration at all character interactions/chemistry, atmosphere/mood or anything similar.

1. Hikigaya was always anti-social from the start. They both have younger sisters, but they are nothing alike and the relationship between the siblings are completely different. First 2 girls end up heroines. This applies for so many different shows that it's not even worth mentioning. When does the 3rd or last heroine ever become the main character? Very rarely.
2. Yukino and Yozora never gave off the same impression to me. Yukino is a 'perfect person' who has a twisted mind in that she feels she needs to guide the 'lost lambs'. Yozora likes manipulation and hates popular people. Their ideals and beliefs are way off. Big breasted airheads? That's a superficial comparison because again, Yui and Sena are nothing alike. Yui is a person that always tries to fit in with the rest of the girls and can't really say what's on her mind that well, whereas Sena is almost the opposite.
3. No problem with this point.

I'll say it again. I'm not bashing either of you, I just completely disagree with the comparison. You're entitled to your own opinion, but I would like to say that the other two also have valid points.

To me, the shows aren't similar- they only LOOK similar on the outside.

^ yeah what your saying is basically what I meant :) Like i said with my post and with my comparison, Im only pointing out the outside similarities. I also said in my post that they both have their own unique underlying attributes that make it different which falls into your "character interactions/chemistry, atmosphere/mood or anything similar" area. I'm not trying to say that this anime is a copy of boku wa tomodachi, I'm just trying to point out that most shows have very similar cliques but they do develop and have very different attributes and play them in a unique fashion.
so what I'm saying that the 1 and 2 both work in a superficial manner, your analyzing them way too deeply like I'm trying to say they are exactly the same. I'm saying they look similar on the outside and so your other points would be part of the "unique attributes" part of what i posted.

The only similarity I could find between this and Medaka Box is that MC is as much of a loser as Kumagawa Misogi, and I've read all 192 chapters of Medaka so

It really bothers me when people compare anime at face value like "anti-social MC, big breasted airhead, cold bishoujo" because you can't really compare individual series like that. You have to take note of things like character interactions, themes, etc

I did this thread after watching 2 episodes.. it was just a first opinion on this series not an indepth analysis.. but yeah I know that they aren't similar at all if you look closely at every little detail.

I don't think comparing Haganai and Oreagair is wrong. You can't say they are completly different nor that Oregairu is far better if you don't compare them first.

I am glad I can say both of these statement now.

Haganai concludes that it is better to have friends.
Oregairu concludes that it is ok to leave alone.
Medaka box concludes psycho wins.

Done.
