Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou

Both Anime Are Very Similar. Like Both Are About Topstudents. They're Also About A Girl Does Want To Be Better As Someone. Really This Anime Was My First Thought When I Watched the First Episode 

Both of these animes is about a girl who is perfect in almost everything and a guy that is better than they are. In both animes the girl is always trying to beat the guy in something . In both animes the guy likes the girl!! Both are funny and romantic!! If you like Special A you will like Kare Kano too!!!  

Similiar main plot of female lead rival in school with male lead...both discover love for each other... 

They are both comedy love story. The main characters are both intelligent and the top of the class. Another thing, the guys are the first ones that fell in love to the girl.. 

In both titles a girl and boy are rivals in school, but as the story progresses they fall in love. 

Both animes have similar main characters. Hikari in Special A is smart and her goal is to beat Takashima, her rival. Miyazawa in Kare kano is smart, intelligent, and very competitive when it comes to her grades. In the beginning, her rival is arima who gets a grade higher than hers for the entrance exam. They both fall for their rivals. Thoug kare kano is more romantic.  

Both animes focus on constant competition between two rivals who are love interests. Also, the boy in either couple both seem effortless at their attempts to be number one, while the girls work extremely hard.  

In both we have a girl who wants to be the best student and a boy who is better than her. Competitions exist in both. There are good comic scenes and good romantic scenes too. Similarities in characters exist. Those two are simply similar to me. But, in my opinion, Special A is better. 

Both characters are rivals of each other that eventually fall in love with one another. 

Kare Kano and Special A have a lot in common. The girls seem to be both best at everything till one guy shows up, who does everything just a little better. A lot of tension comes of till the romance starts to begin (: 

in both, they at first are rivals, espcialy in the girls eyes. but they both find love in their rivalry(but in kareshi kanojo no jijou/his and her circumstances the love is much more serious). 

Both shows involve the serious yet slightly lighthearted rivalry between the usually calm male protagonist and the competitive female protagonist, which leads to the development of romance between the two 

Girls with strong personalities and very popular boys are rivals in school, later, as the story progress - couple 

in both animes one of the characters has a little secret and the other main character discovers it and it will lead to their friendship and love ... xD 

both have female protagonists who, at first, hates the male heroine & determined to win against him. but in the end, they both fall inlove with each other. if you love Kare Kano, youll love KWMS too.<3 

Kare Kano and KWMS are animes that have significant similarities, both plot-wise and character-wise. "Girl has a secret which is accidentally found out by boy. This secret brings them together and they (eventually) fall in love. But of course, there are obstacles in their way. Little by little, they change each other for the better."  

The story of an overachieving perfectionist who meets her match in her new classmate. He seems absolutely perfect on the outside, but soon, both their perfect facades begin to fade as they discover each other's true selves. Very cute and romantic :). The male protagonist comes from a rich family. 

They're both shoujo anime, romantic comedies. Although Kare Kano focuses a little bit more in romance, especially on the manga, it's an anime with lots of comedy, like Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama. Both often make use of Chibi animation, like a proper Shoujo should be. Kare Kano is from the 90's, and Kaichou from 2010, so you might say Kaichou followed, in parte, the legacy of His And Her Circumstances. Watch'em both if you can! :D 

Both competing to be the "model student." Both fall in love with each other, but not at first. 

Both series are quite similar in a variety of ways: We have a main girl who tries to act tough but hides a secret in which the main protagonist early on discovers. Additionally, the protagonist is also smart, popular, and accomplishes takes flawlessly in both series. Yet when it comes to the main heroine, it throw them off occasionally. Both series contain plenty of drama, comedy, and character appeals. Recommended for fans of shoujo demographic.  

•both are of the typical shoujo, romance, school life feel, •both girl protagonists in each anime are both hard working school students, who favour determination and long periods of studying to excel in their school life. •both encounter a strong/attractive/handsome/popular male protagonist who has everything, and is already academically smart with an athletic figure. •both fight each other competing with academic marks in school •both girl protagonists have secrets that they dont want anyone else to know, but the male finds out early in the series •both have rivals, making friends, etc, though the difference is the pace of the story is slow in KMS than Kare Kano, which Kare kano is alot faster into the relationship between the protgaonists. •they both are a lovely watch, and will make you feel happy and content when you finished. read more 

1. Both main characters or strong independent females, known for their intelligence, athleticism, and beauty 2. Both have a secret that they try to hide from they school 3. Both main males find out the secret 4. Both main males have *intense* pasts (I don't think Kaichou wa Maid-sama goes too much into Usui's past though) Both lovely romance animes. Truly enjored it thoroughly 

For your "she has a secret, and he is blackmailing her" needs, PLEASE watch Kare Kano! It's about a thousand times better in character depth, voice acting (only seen the English dubs), plot, music...basically in every way possible. I stopped watching Maid Sama after only 5 episodes because I would rather rewatch Kare Kano for the third time than waste another second watching Maid Sama! 

If you want humor, secret identity, or romance then His and Her Circumstances is similar to Maid Sama. His and Her Circumstances is a more underground and old 90s(?) anime, but the romance is pretty similar to 2000s. You have the two main characters falling in love, with the head strong female protagonist butting heads with the male protagonist. There are also wacky happenstances and side characters that make these two shows very enjoyable to watch. 

Similar premise, setting and characters. Karekano focuses much more on the main couple, while Horimiya tries to flash out the supporting cast. 

Horimiya follows the same basic beats as Kare Kano, almost startlingly so, and the tone is similar as well. The comedy that leads into drama and back are present in both, and the series give same general impressions. The biggest difference is that Horimiya is more consistent overall with every episode being solid to great, while Kare Kano has the best 18 episode rom com with the final 8 episodes being of generally lackluster quality and ends on a low note. If you can deal with the recaps of Kare Kano, stop at episode 18, and are used to old style anime, Kare Kano is probably superior and generally more inventive while Horimiya is significantly more consistent and polished. read more 

Kare Kano and Hiromiya are the only School romances That bother to flesh out the characters and having an actual romance, and not just fooling around for more than 20 episodes. Although still idealized, far more meaningful than any other of her type that I know. 

Both romance actually contain progress and develop throughout the episodes, you won't get left with just hand-holding last episode, last minute. I recommend Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou if you're in the mood for some 90's romance, done by an amazing studio and characters are charismatic, not soulless unlike many dramas. 

the MCs have a personality that is different from what they show in school the influence of "his and her circumstances" on horimiya is quite obvious both have a really good romance 

Both animes are good romantic comedy animes. The genre is the same. The understanding between main characters in both animes is beautiful.  

The initial plot is almost the same: both protagonists find the secret side of each other and start a lovely relationship. The humor and the supporting characters are also similar, so it's a great idea to watch both of them. Although, keep in mind KareKano gets more introspective and darker 

These two anime approach romance between young people in a more mature and realistic way. Showing the advantages and problems that come with it and also the individualities of each character I recommend you read Horimiya, the anime is not good as the manga, and a lot of details were cut from the anime 

Both of these series feature a main couple that we follow for most of the show, but they also have side characters with extended stories. As well as both shows taking place in a high school setting. 

The 1990s romcom "His and Her Circumstances" (also known as Kare Kano) has a lot in common with the more recent "Horimya". Both are high school romances that take a more grounded approach to exploring the character's relationships. Other similarities include: -very similar art styles and character designs. -the main male and female characters are rather similar in personality. -similar jokes and comedic style, mix of slapstick and situational comedy. -both start off focusing mainly on the two main characters, and gradually as the story goes on include more and more the supporting characters and their backstories until its almost not about the main duo anymore. -in the two stories the main couple "do the deed" although in both its just a brief scene of them sleeping together. Overall "Horimiya" has much better production and has a great opening song, while "His and Her Circumstances" has a better story and character development in my opinion. The latter also has more serious moments in the second half. If you like one it is highly probably you'll like the other.  read more 

As is typical, both start with the two love interests discovering something about the other, and both are love stories that develop very subtly and beautifully. Additionally, both look at the main love interests in a lot of depth, showing their flaws and their redeeming qualities. Finally, both are fast-moving love stories, so even though, the relationship feels like it is developing rather than stagnating in a slump. 

Gainax + Hideaki Anno productions, with almost identical animation and style. Even though one is a romantic school comedy and the other is a mecha series, both have psychological depth. Karekano may seem light hearted, but it can get pretty serious when necessary. Both of these series have teenagers as protagonists, but don't ignore the life and problems of the adult characters around them. They also have several themes in common: dramatic family issues, being alone, wanting to be accepted, hiding one's true self, etc. Lastly, both anime, despite being mostly solid, are quite incomplete and inferior to their manga counterparts, and will leave you "wtf?" at the end. 

Both were animated by Gainax and featured Hideaki Anno as an important member of staff. They are both dramas that explore the pysche of their main characters. Lastly, they both use unique animation techniques, such as still images of writing, to convey messages about the character's state of mind 

They have Anno's hand. First you will watch kare Kano expecting a typical Shoujo Anime, but if you pay attention on it, kare Kano is a great piece of art. The Soundtracks were made by Shiro Sagisu, just as Evangelion * Actually Kare Kano's soundtrack is on Evangelion rebuild 2.0* I always tell people to pay attention on it, Kare Kano is not a simple shoujo anime, it is a great show, its deep. 

While both have very different plots, kare kano and Neo Genesis Evangelion are very similar in the psychological aspect, Both main characters have to deal a lot with their personal problems. Looking past all the action in NGE and all the comedy in Kare Kano, both anime have a deeper meaning. 

- Same Studio and the same Director (Anno Hideaki). - Despite the plot and setting are parallel to each other, similar vibes and themes overlap between the two series. - When elements of the Psychological genre arise, it is stylized in the same way Evangelion is. - The main male lead questions his morality and is tied down by his past (distressing relationships with family members - just like Shinji Ikari). - Both series are quite dark, although Kare Kano is definitely more lighthearted.  

First of all both are directed by Hideaki Anno, so there are gonna be obvious parallels simply due to the style of directing and what Anno likes to portray in his works. Moving beyond that, Anno very clearly made the series his own, a lot of the character analysis prominent in the latter half of Evangelion appear once again and are faced with coming out of their shells in a similar manner to the characters of Evangelion. Another theme carried over from Evangelion is the theme of accepting both yourself and others, something the characters in Evangelion never quite manage to do until it’s far too late and things are already belly up in the story. Where Evangelion features characters who have yet to learn what it means to truly connect with others, the characters in Kare Kano are ones who are in the process of learning what it means to truly connect with others: a sort of thematic successor if you will. read more 

I certainly wobn't be the last person to compare Kare Kano & Evangelion. But the two shows are actually more similar than meets the eye. They share the same director, 'Hideaki Anno", so they share a similar style of cinematography & shot composistion. Kare Kano also contains the studying of human psyche & how it affects the characters in their day to day lives like Eva does. It also has a similar style of music thanks to Shirou Sagisu returnng to do the score. Take this more as me recommending Kare Kano to Eva fans more so than recommending Eva to Kare Kano fans. 

Though mecha and romantic comedy have little in common, Kare Kano is not a normal romantic comedy. Made by the same director of Evangelion, Hideaki Anno, Kare Kano is loaded with long scenes of introspection, incredibly complex and nuanced characters, and visual symbolism that will get stuck in your head forever. In other words, it's probably the show most similar to Evangelion in both style and substance. Don't be fooled by the 7.6 score: this show is criminally underrated because of its inconclusive ending episodes (just like the Evangelion TV series!), which aren't even bad, though they don't quite live up to the glory of the first 18 episodes. read more 

the first thing i thought when watching this was Kare Kano. extremely smart male lead and, differing from Kare Kano, a not so bright girl. they clash and give a very similar feel to KK. if you liked KK then you'll defintely like Itazura na Kiss. 

It's all about romance, drama and comedy, it keeps you wondering whats going to happen next, how the boy and girl are gonna get togheter, and the best part: it keeps you hoping for the couples to finnaly get together!! 

If you liked Itazura na Kiss as much as me - be sure to check out "Kare Kano" ("Kareshi kanojo no jijou"/"His and her circumstances") - because it's awesome :) The series remind more than a bit of each other, in sense of feeling, although Kare Kano generally holds a little bit more serious tone. The stories are not similar in the least, but the authenticity and honesty of them are equal. Both these anime, are really among the most realistic lovestories I have ever seen or read in the world of manga and anime. Stories of love that most people can recognize themselves in - whether it's the good or bad times. Also, the evolvement of their relationships, and the long timeline give a more thorough look into the personalities of the characters, and makes one content with the closure - not craving for more - because we got a real story about real people, and we feel confident that their lives will go on, happy and sad, but we got to share it with them :) (God, I'm corny sometimes when writing :P ) I'd say just about anyone would enjoy and like both of these anime because they are indeed very universal.  read more 

[ENG] The beginning of the anime are the same, there is a Super Girl (Kare Kano) is a super guy (Itazura to Kiss) In the 1-m, it holds a secret that she loves attention and doing all that, she would always say: "What do you fellow" "I want to be like you", etc. therefore hard to study and stuff like that, but one day come home to her boyfriend and she was "not heavily made-up in the whole of begudyah" opens the door (thinking it's her girlfriend or someone else (here, I forgot = ( who exactly) and sees his school friend who did not depart from it in school and not to divulge her secret, she becomes crudely speaking his slave on a "small" work ... And then the fun begins: P In the 2-m, it is super guy - a man with a beautiful appearance, intelligent, sporty, but with a heavy character, refuses girl in rough form, which wanted him to confess his love ... After some time, this girl moves into a house to his father's best friends (if I am mistaken, then forgive me) and what she sees - she sees the terrible guy, and she has to live with him under one roof ...

Both are pretty similar-feeling shows, featuring a high-school girl who's pretty kooky falling in love with the high school's most popular guy, and then hilarity and drama ensue. 

This anime is similar to itazura na kiss because their main subject is love. Both have interesting and funny things. And some of the characters are very interesting. 

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou or his and her complications is a bit of an older anime but it is very similar to itazura na kiss, and it will leave you satisfied. like Itazura it has a male and female who at first seem to hate each other however through a series of events and fortunes their relationship progresses and it leaves you with a happy feeling in your heart. 

Both are about a boy and a girl falling in love in high school Both have lots of character development Both deserve more attention 

These two shows are both about a boy and girl in love - and how that affects those around them. The presentation is different, the characters are a little different, but both give off a warm fuzzy feeling - the feeling of 'ah, this is what young love is like'. 

Kare Kano and Kimi ni Todoke are both romantic stories with situations delicately psycho-analized by the main characters. Even if the two main females are very differents by personality, the girl will little by little face the importance and experience of her own precious first love in both series. The love of the girl, as the love of the boy, are told and shown throughout both series in a real unique way. Still, the main male and female character will be surrounded by awesome friends which will help them and will be affected by their situations. There are many anime which face love stories out there, but noone of them is similar to Kare Kano or Kimi ni Todoke as much as those two are with eachother. For this reason i strongly feel to associate KNT to KareKano and viceversa. Indeed, if you already liked one of those, you can't miss to watch the other! You'll definitely appreciate them both. Personally, i think that "unique" is a perfect adjective to describe them both. Their stories are really told and shown in a special unique way which authomatically creates a very charming atmosphere. read more 

boy likes girl and girl likes boy and both help each other in their times in need, while discovering themselves, making new friends, and becoming better individuals. Comic, Romantic, and Slice of life. Both are excellent at making ones heart throb... 

You fall in love for both, altough Sawako and Yukino are very different: the first is very shy, the second wants to stand out in front of everyone, but it's de role of Kazehaya and Arima that really matters in the story. Just their presence create major changes in the girls lives.  

Both are very pure and innocent love stories. The atmosphere in Kimi ni todoke is only slightly deeper than the one in KareKano. Both Anime have great and fitting music that underlines "the spring of youth" that is shown in both shows. Enjoy! 

Both shows have a meaningful romance and lots of character growth and development. Both main female characters gain friends, a very important theme in both series, and character growth is seen in the friends as well which is very rare. Both are emotionally moving though in different ways. Kimi ni todoke is very cute, (with cute humor) and heart warming. Kare Kano has a more developed comedy style, and its story develops in interesting ways with more depth.  

*OTHER WAY AROUND* MaL detects Kimi ni Todooke as recommended work no matter what order I pick cuz their website coding is fucking trash Even to this to this day and age, "Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou" is imo the greatest adapted romance/drama, carried by 2 incredible studios they never fail to bore you with good pacing and characters are charismatic, they basically have relatable/likable personalities and aren't solely one-sided which is the biggest turn-off. The show's initial premise is similar to Kimi ni Todoke with little to no exception, until you realize it can actually dive deep into sensitive topics and interesting psychological elements.  

They share the same basic storyline about rivals, then friends who become a couple. There are tons of other differences of course, but if you enjoy one you would enjoy the other.  

Similar characters, kinda similar plot and style a lot alike. But Lovely Complex is more of a comedy then kare kano. 

Both stories generally take places in school and both series are shoujo. Hence, both stories' characters have some complexes and having some diffuculties about love or confessing their loves and also both series have some comedy in it.  

At the beginning boy and girl are some kind of rivals - in Kare Kano it's about school, in LovCom - love, later they become friends, then couple 

In the same setting as Lovely complex KareKano deals with romance in school in a more serious way with some moments of comedy, the protagonists also share differences and interior similarities that make them closer to each other. And if you liked Lovely complex, you'll love even more KareKano. 

Lovely Complex and Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou are high school romantic comedy series where unexpected characters become couples. One main similarity that they have is that the main complexes about one another and by overcoming these complexes, they become a deeper couple. If you watched one, you will definitely see similarities in the other. 

Girls that are repulsed by a guy that they barely even see as a friend, eventually come around to falling in love with. Also both girls have red hair and tsundere personalities. 

The way this anime compares people's daily lives is similar to that of Kare Kanos' characters. In addition, Kare Kano's effect in animation give a little similarity as well. 

Both of these shows have a well written and powerful romantic story. The animation is as different as night and day being years apart and yet both fit well on screen. Both shows also revolve around teenagers and the situation they encounter keep you on the edge of your seat. 

While the tone and material behind the two shows are different, thoughtful romance, introspection and highly artistic (or budget saving, depending how you look at it) presentation drives both shows. 

Both series, at first glance are romances, but then again, both shows deals more with the psychological traumas and struggles in their life, displayed in a roundabout, metaphorical way. Both series are about love, but more so how one can be influenced to be a better human being from it, and as a way to explain their own drives and hopes, dreams and wishes. 

Both shows focus on a pair that falls in love with each other because they are the only ones who properly understand what's behind the mask of each other 

Both have a similar atmosphere, though Kare kano has more commedy. Both have very well developed relationships between male and female protagonists and how they over come their problems with the power of love (more or lessxD)~ Both boys have a sad past and rely on their love to overcome TT____TT 

Both are highschool romances but Kare Kano focuses on how both people are feeling about eachother. Kare Kano's animation is a little... not too fantastic but the story and characters are great. You really get to know Arima and Miyazawa and root for both of them to love eachother more. 

Interesting main couple who overcome hardships within themselves and between each other, helping each other grow. More angst and less humor than Kare Kano though. 

Even though Kare Kano is a bit deeper and has more comedy in it they are really alike. What I love soooo much about both of these is that neither of them go through much heartbreak. A lot of the others have backstabbing freinds and such so you could say they are both a bit of a home-run. 

- About couple dating - They start dating at the beginning of the anime - They need to deal with each other's differences - The protagonist has a past he doesn't like and closes himself off to his girlfriend - They deal with their relationship in different ways, trying to make it work and stay together - Drama anime, but with some funny moments 

both are about two elite rivals falling in love. Karekano is more about the relationship, while in Kaguya-sama the whole battle is getting the other to confess in the first place. Both have comedy. 

It is clear that Aka Akasaka has taken inspiration from KareKano to create the conditions for the story behind his masterpiece: - Both protagonists are elite high school students who are "worshipped" by the other students for their looks and exam results - One of them comes from a wealthy family, but has a not so happy personal background. The other one is from a middle class family. - Both of them fell in love with each other and have difficulties in confessing and expressing their feelings - But most of all, the most striking aspect that makes the two works similar is the theme of the MASK, that strongly affects their lives in relation both with themselves and with other people read more 

The great similarity between both series is incredible, romantic comedy (however one works a formal relationship and the other the construction of a relationship) through characters called "perfect". Under this premise, we will observe the development of the couple and the circumstances around them with touches of personal analysis in each character. Very funny and very romantic. 

Both have two excellent students, who are secretly in love, strive for their love. Both of them also have a lot of comedic elements along with a colorful cast of side characters. 

Both anime have romance and comedy, with early declaration of the main male character. Both manga weren't finished when the anime was made, so both endings are just arbitrary stops with no real conclusion. The Kare Kano anime last part is worse, and I suggest you just stop watching around episode 12~15 and go directly to the manga to continue the story. As others have mentioned, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is more chaotic, while Kare Kano flows better and feels a bit more mature. But I recommend both. 

Based on the early episodes of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, it becomes very clear how much the female lead character resembles Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou's. While the male protagonists differ quite a bit, both girls are study overachievers obcessed about being the number1 student, which, as a result forces loneliness, social apathy and awkwardness into their personalities and lives. A fated encounter with the male lead starts to change the way they prioritize values in life and slowly start to open their hearts towards love. It's also worthy of note, the often introspective tone of the female lead with regular monologuesque analysis of their own feelings. Even the OP seems to use similar composition formulas. read more 

These two anime are in a sense similar for they both have very smart, intelligent and studious protagonists. They have issues with their past and their relationship grows as they know well each other. Maybe they also have in common tsundere undertones in the protagonist. I recommend Karekano, that I find more various and that I like more. Tonari no in fact is a little repetitive while Karekano's story develops more and covers more aspects of the protagonists' relationship. However I'll wait for the OVA.  

I dont really know.. But i think a lot of people havent watched this series by GAINAX. And as a teen drama it is wonderful. The inner monologues are astonishing and the characters are all very funny and fill their role very good. Sadly the japanese audio is not as good as the spanish one but that doesnt matter it is enough with the illustrations to get the idea. It also ended very abruptly but what was made is wonderful. The music, the constant change of animation style, the enjoyment you get because of the jokes, the characters that really win your appreciation and the psychological plot are all things that really help this anime to be one of the best shoujos. It is only similar to Fruits Basket because it also is about a boy and a girl that fall in love.. but this one stays very real. read more 

They both set up all their characters with someone else. Everyone ends up with someone different and there's a side story for each of those pairs. Also, arima in Kare kano has a dark past like Yuki, kyo, and everyone who's cursed has. They both have romantic and deep love in them too.  

Both are romcoms with female characters which display alternate versions of themselves... *hard to describe 

the main heroines both have twisted personalities that make them seem crazy but they still care deeply for other people. Comical 

Both are slice of life, comedy and school animes that focuses on the female main character. And both female characters are completely different when they're in school and when they're home, they play the perfect student in the school while actually they're selfish and lazy at home. However, Himouto! Umaru-chan has little to no romance and drama, while Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou is focused on a romance relationship and gets really dramatic eventually. 

Both have the main character's who are completely different people at home and inside the school. Both are funny and both look at the different relationships affected by their different personalities. 

If you want more Taiga like cuteness in your anime, look no further than His and Her Circumstances. The character Tsubasa has it all: a cute and short stature, big brown hair, an unrequited love, violent tendencies, clingy tendencies, and even daddy issues! 

Both present the main couple fighitng against their adverisities in life Torodora more about family problemas and Karekano about insecurities and dependance Both were really important for romance animes of their respective eras  

Both series deal with the subject of human connection in an incredibly touching manner. They feature finely crafted casts with excellent chemistry and unforgettable personalities. Also, OHSHC and Kare Kano both include passionate animation sequences done by the legendary studios Bones and Gainax respectively. I can feel the nostalgia from both series welling up in my heart right now, haha!  

Guy finds out that girl isn't truly a model student as she appears to be at school. Romance starts to blossom. You may want to read the mangas after both as they don't have solid endings :) 

They have a very similar plot but include two people pretending to be in a relationship. They also both comprise of at least one character that is all around lying about their personality, status or experiences. They both are profoundly romantic as well as hilarious. Both series have similar endings (no spoilers tho). One of the critical differences is art. While Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji is full of vibrant colors, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou's art is duller. The quality of the art is most likely a product of the times and doesn't affect the quality of the show very much. The characters personalities also play a significant role. Thought each of the main characters real traits are somewhat similar, both characters are a lot meaner in Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou. In Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji, only one of the characters has a nastier personality. read more 

Bocchi similarly uses character expressions and wild swings in the art style for comedic effect. The BGM in Kare Kano was probably it's strongest area, and music is a central theme in Bocchi 

They are really very similar anime. Both of them concise very open-hearted stories about first love and first feelings. And, most important thing, these stories are finished enough. KareKano is a shoujo anime, and Boys be is, mostly, seinen. So, there is a boys' point of view. And, of course, Boys be also include very good music and storyline.  

Both anime have very strong,smart, female characters. The two stories revolve around a normal girl in relationship with a handsome rich male. I think what makes these two anime, so similar is the way the main characters express their emotions. And the voice actors in both the English and the Japanese in both the anime do a fantastic job. 

If you were to take mixes of the show Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and mash it with Kare Kano, the baby would be Sukitte Ii na yo. Or, reverse, if you take Tonari and Sukitte Ii na yo, and make babies with them, the result is Kare Kano.
