No doubting that these two animes give the same vibe as 'Dating to save the world' is the main shared plot. Although Kami Nomi should contain more "intelligent" scoring, the comedy has never escaped any of these shows. 

To put it simple, if you like Date A Live, it's high probable that you're going to like Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai.

Both anime involves dating games and making girls fall in love with the main character and those girls are spirits. They're both comedic as well.

The idea of a game like scenario where the main protagonist must win the hearts of female characters is a theme present in both series.

The main male protagonist isn't very popular with girls though but still is assigned to the task after a faithful day. He also has a "sister" around him that guides him through these tasks.

Both series consists of 'arcs' that focuses on a specific characters for the main character to unlock the hearts of. However, they each contain obstacles. Among other things, both series has a lot of comedy, drama, and takes place @ at a high school setting.

Conquering girls, with setting up flags. With trying to get to the end of the line by making them fall in love with you.

The male leads are coerced into making various girls fall in love with them, in order to "save humanity". The main males have to set flags with each heroine, and make her fall for him to the point that they kiss. The difference lies in that in Kami nomi the heroine would forget everything that happened after the kiss, while in Date A Live the girls remember everything.

'Save the world, date these girls!' is what these two animes are screaming. One is more based on action, while the other one is more based on romance. While Itsuka Shidou dates the girls to save the world and stop spacequakes, Keima dates the girls to stop himself from being beheaded by the collar on his neck. Both animes have a similar feel as well, though the anime version of Date A Live goes more in detail in terms of story than Kami nomi does.

They are similar by the fact that both animes have a main male protagonist who was suddenly involved with a girl who has forced them into trying to make girls fall in love with them.

While in The World God Only Knows, the male protagonist HAS to do it or else his head will be cut off. In TWGOK he has to capture girls to make loose souls get out of that persons body.

In Date A Live it has the same aspect but he has to make girls fall in love with them so he can lock the magic inside the spirit to stop space quakes from happening.  read more

Both anime have many things in common including little sister characters that are adorable, the idea that dating sims is the only way to survive rather than date in real life, lots of comedy, decent amounts of fanservice, etc. (I could go on and on). At first, both anime seem kind of dry and the artwork appears unusual, but later on you get used to the visuals (very quickly too, for all the people who base anime off of visual like me). Both are great, fun, and are similar in different ways! If you haven't seen either of them, then what are you waiting for?

The only major differences is that in Date A Live, the girls don't forget Shido after he gets them to fall in love with him, and in Kami nomi, they do. Plus Date A Live has a futuristic setting along with extremely dangerous girls while Kami nomi is just modern times.  read more

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai is one of my favorite shows and probably one of the best masterpieces in anime. Though it's kinda sad since it ended in season three, and it didn't show some of arcs that can be seen in the manga. I'm still not satisfied in the ending, it's a cliffhanger it didn't show what happened to the goddesses after their fight with the weiss. So in order to make myself sane while waiting for a 4th season(hopefully) I searched an anime that's kinda similar to it, and that's when I found Date A Live.

If you are a fan of Kami nomi series I recommend Date A Live because it gives you the same feeling when you're watching the Kami nomi series. Date A Live uses "Spirits" instead of loose souls, but that what makes it quite unique, though they both give disasters to the everyday life of people. Not to mention in Date A Live there are also many cute waifu candidates like Tohka and Kurumi, but don't lewd Yoshino, I swear if u lewd Yoshino I'll call the FBI Immediately to quarantine you in order to be destroyed before you can contaminate anyone with your lolicon taste. *Cough* Even if many people judge Date A Live because of it's slight similarity to Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai but Date A Live has it's own aspect, and even allowed the protagonist to join in fights unlike the protagonist from Kami nomi, it's a zero to hero situation.

In conclusion Date A Live is a perfect show for any unsatisfied Kami nomi fans, and even to anyone who likes the comedy and harem genre. It has cute girls that is acceptable to lewd except one, and has a good plot. You can even see common clichés like secret polygamous dating, walk-in-the-occupied-bathroom, and jealousy everywhere, not to mention some unexpected things that I can't tell to you, just watch the anime or read the light novel, but don't forget, this is just my opinion, everyone has their own taste and we can't criticize them because you think their taste is shit, have a lovely day! 😊😊😊 read more

For aesthetic and abstract reasons, Date-A Live holds a ton of similarities to Infinite Stratos, it's pretty much what you'll think of each other when any of these titles are brought up. Kirei shoujos, sci-fi, a shonen who becomes the mediator where each of the girls falls to him for reasons that he's the main character, blushing this fanservice that, and ultimately these characters are memorable.

These two shows are nowhere near my cup of tea, but I acknowledge them both because despite all the silliness, there's plot and character entwined.

The personalities of Male protagonists in both series are somewhat similar, whether it is Ichika in Infinite Stratos or Shidou in Date a Live, both characters are innocent and they don't know what is happening around them at first. The fighting style of both protagonists is similar as both usually fight with their swords. In both series there are many female protagonists gathered around the male protagonist (known as Harem) but both of them always respected the female characters and never looked at them in perverted manner. In both series one of the female protagonist is their own sister, Ichika's elder sister Chifuyu in Infinite Stratos and Shidou's younger sister Kotori in Date a Live. Both series show girls with mecha machines but Infinite Stratos is purely based on mecha machines so all characters in Infinite Stratos use these machines. Harem in both series is very good and Action scenes are nerve-racking. There are many Comedy scenes in both series that will surely make you laugh and sometime tension is there among Characters. So if you like one then you may like the other one too. That's it guys. read more

SIMILARITIES:
*They both revolve around a race of mysterious female aliens (Sekirei/Spirits) who are scorned by society in one way or another.
*The male lead (Minato/Shido) is really awkward with girls and can add the aliens to his harem using a kiss.
*The main heroine (Musubi/Tohka) is very strong, eats a lot and is generally not very bright but at times surprisingly insightful.
*The main villain (Minaka/Isaac) is a white-haired sociopath who runs a shady corporation and frequently screws with the aliens for his own twisted amusement.
*The second alien to be added is a little girl (Kusano/Yoshino).
*They're both lighthearted comedies for the most part but are also very serious at times.
*Some of the same voice actors e.g. Musubi and Kurumi are voiced by Alexis Tipton, Kusano and Yoshino are voiced by Tia Ballard and Benitsubasa and Ellen are voiced by both Shizuka Ito and Trina Nishimura.

DIFFERENCES:
*Minato's kiss awakens a Sekirei's true power, while Shido's kiss seals a Spirit's power to keep it from going out of control.
*Shido gets progressively stronger over the series, while Minato never gets any stronger and instead relies on his brains.
*Minaka is in the series from the beginning and is quite comedic and wacky, while Isaac doesn't make his first appearance until season 2 and is taken completely seriously.

If you like harem anime, I'd recommend watching both of these, as they're both equally good. read more

If you like the ecchi genre of High School DXD, you were going to like that of Date A Live and To Love Ru.
The strength of these works is the complexity of writing that the characters receive from the author.
All the characters are endearing, with stories that reinforce the main plot while highlighting the complicity between all the characters, but above all the characters are never neglected by the author whether they are the protagonist or a secondary character.
The humor is not heavy but it is also not very subtle at times, clearly you're going to have a good time watching these works which are of a very good quality.
The romance in these ecchi are a little abandoned at some moments to deepen the universe that surrounds them, which I do not dislike but I prefer to warn.  
The animation remains correct for anime that "date a little"
To tell you, I think it's the best ecchi that exist now. (Sorry Peter Grill)

both of the stories start the series with 2nd heroine pratagonist that firstly look like ordinary girl,but in the future they take the big part on the series: kotori and hijiri(and both of them are pratagonist's unrelated blood siblings either)
both of the main heroine have similiar personality:tohka and lilith.first both of them are strong (spirit and trinity),second both of them easy to jelous if the pratagonist flirt or date with other girl,both of them have a little tsundere personality.
both of the stories only have 1 other main male characters which is the head master and vice commander.both of them have serious cool and funny personality,and both of them are strong and can do their job perfectly

Both have a really terribly bad—but still for some reason kind of exciting—story. Both have the same harem content (every girl falls somehow for the main—well almost every). Both are ecchi and have very similar action content. (In Kore wa Zombie, it's fantasy-action and in Date a Live, it's sci-fi-action, but both have a very similar action style.) Both have excellent animation and artwork. Both have the same humor—a really stupid but damn funny humor! Both have these situations where you don't know whether you should be laughing or crying; these situations happen even when the lowest trash gets the most awesome thing in the world! They are both extremely cheap but still extremely entertaining! So basically, these two series have exactly the same atmosphere and flair ;) read more

Male leads meet various girls who are supernatural (magical) beings and slowly but surely form a harem consisting of beautiful otherworldly girls. While most of the time these shows run on comedy and action routine, at the climax of the story, it can get very dramatic and emotional.  

report Recommended by bunny1ov3r

Help! I can't write a gripping opening that would make anyone ever want to read this recommendation!! 

So I'll just start it here. If you liked Sora no Otoshimono, chances are, you'll like Date a Live. Or... if you liked Date a Live, chances are, you'll like Sora no Otoshimono. OR if you like cute mecha parody anime with a sort of harem amongst one guy, many mecha girls, comedy, and action, you'll probably like either one of these. The two anime relate in the fact that they have a guy who is surrounded by a bunch of mecha/different girlies. In Sora no Otoshimono, the main character happens to 'pick up' a girl who stays by his side as he is her 'master'. In Date a Live, the main character has to save the world by sealing away girl's powers by making them fall in love with him. 

BORING. Right? Nu uh, no way Jose, noppers! Both of these anime will keep you drawn in with a mixture of comical moments and some action packed fights... and some incredibly cute girls. Sora no Otoshimono was more lighthearted and easier to follow compared to Date a Live, as it doesn't have many arcs or twists. Date a Live, on the other hand, gets pretty into it to the fact that you wouldn't think it's a comedy to begin with. However, both anime basically have the same mood and will draw you in if you have enjoyed either one of these series.  read more

Sora no Otoshimono and Date A Live. All the girls fall from the sky, and have different abilities. Some are called angeloids (SnO) and other spirits (DaL). The protagonist accepts them as they are, despite being seen as a danger to humanity. The girls are attracted to the protagonist becoming their protector or teacher, who is always there to help them, even if it is just a human. The thing gets complicated when the girls are manipulated by their own mind (or by others) and can get to finish with the planet. They both have docis of ecchi and comedy (although SnO stands out more in this medium) read more

As far as these two series goes, Date a Live and Neptune both involves girls with super powers. Their setting contrasts each other but they have similar character designs. This is because Tsunako is involved with the artwork which makes both series' characters look somewhat similar in terms of their looks.

These two series also shares a similarity in which the characters can transform but only with a certain condition are met. Their transformations grants them new powers that enhances their battle tactics.

Durarara!! addpermalink

Itsuka Shidou, just like Mikado Ryuugamine, enters a proverbial world where the supernatural is treated as an everyday occurence that must be staved off. Major events occur as a result of these supernatural factors, and while Date A Live treats Shidou as though getting rid of the supernatural was his job, Durarara!! treats its cast as though it were everyone's job.

Their misadventures across their local area lead them to encounter a multitude of conventionally attractive girls who possess superpowers with mysterious origins, as well as groups of people who want to help them and organizations who are against their cause. Their loved ones are occasionally turned against them as well in part due to these organizations and their goals.

Both Mikado and Shidou have a pretty solid moral compass, and are usually not willing to tread over their ideals in order to reach their goals. They're both teenage boys who treat those around them very nicely, even if Mikado goes through some hardships in the psychological department and Shidou doesn't. Both main characters have some sort of mysterious past integral to the happenings of the plot, although Date A Live hasn't revealed Shidou's yet.

In both of these shows, whenever an arc finishes, the world returns to its status quo, and Durarara!! even explicitly mentions this in its narration. There are almost no permanent changes aside from new, somewhat interesting additions to the cast once a story ends and another one begins. It's also worth noting that both Mikado and Shidou take a very long time to go through any sort of character development.

The character designs are considerably less over-the-top in Durarara!! than in Date A Live, but both their casts are equally colorful in terms of personality and philosophy, but it's notable that Date a Live specifically avoids giving backstories to most of its characters due to the nature of its premise. Their names are also very memorable, so you shouldn't have too difficult of a time remembering who's who like in most generic shows. read more

Both are really similiar, because everything goes about love, but Date a Live has action.

Both anime have the genres sci-fi and mecha. In my opinion, the art styles and the whole fighting scenario are similar. However, if you liked the harem situation in Date A Live, AKB is not the anime for you. Similarly, if you liked the music in AKB, Date A Live is not for you. But they are similar in that the plots center around people being impacted by others, for example space quakes in Date A Live and music being banned in AKB. But in my opinion, AKB is more dismal and more sci-fi orientated.
