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

- Many more things in common
I'm pretty sure there are :)
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.
