School Days

Yosuga no Sora addpermalink

Somehow both of the series give similar fealings at least for me, especially around the end of the anime. Both deals with deep feelings, in one of the animes the main point is love between siblings and the other one is centers around a guy who dates more girls at the same time. Worth to watch. Really.

Both series are examinations of deeply flawed characters who seem to be morally vacant and adrift. Both series examine in depth the consequences of love gone wrong.

Tsuki ga Kirei addpermalink

Were you watching Tsuki ga Kirei and feeling "hmm, this sure is a nice love story, but it could really use every character being a horrible and irredeemable person?" Then look no further than this!
See, School Days is everything that Tsuki ga Kirei is not. Tsuki leaves you with butterflies in your stomach, while S.D. makes you want to grab the nearest sharp object and send it through the screen.

They are not really similar in their execution, but both animes depict well the importance of relationships, and how you shouldn't f*ck up when loving someone, also, I think both are very realistic, sure, School days has its harem, but I guess that what Makoto did, was what almost every horny teenager out of his mind would do if he had all those chicks at his hand.
Tsuki ga kirei depicts a nice light hearted portray of healthy school romance, with its problems and loveable learning, so both animes show how real life people feelings work like, and there's where I find the big similarity.

If Tsuki ga Kirei is everything going well, School Days is everything going badly. School Days is simply the tragedy version of Tsuki ga Kirei.

Real relationships. Two anime that are on different sides of the same coin in this genre would have to be Tsukigakirei and School Days. Both show quite a real relationship but are pretty much perpendicular to each other in how they go around this.

Tsukigakirei does this with a junior high relationship, only deciphering what to do with new experience around every corner. School Days does this with a high school relationship that finds itself going wrong. Both are believable, though School Days is on the extreme end of things using believable aspects, Tsukigakirei is just very interesting and wholesome.

Both are great romance anime I would recommend to those looking for something actually realistic in the genre.

Try to set up the protagonist to have a girlfriend and from there the story progresses.
Watching one after the other will fill the void of what the other left empty.

Saishuu Heiki Kanojo addpermalink

While watching both of these anime, I got the same feeling many of the times. Both of the stories start off with a shy girl and a kind of jerk guy getting together, the only thing is that Saikano has more science-fiction elements.

From there, there are quite a few sexual scenes in both of these anime and I got creeped out by some of them in both of the anime. The main guy character in both of these has trouble keeping his mind on one girl at a time, although the one in Saikano is way nicer, but they are both unloyal, sometimes uncaring people.

In both anime, the characters get together early on and then as the anime continues, they end up seeing less and less of each other and spend more time with other people in other places, but both girls only want to see their boyfriend.

Both of these anime also have rather insane endings, even though Saikano is on a much more epic scale and School Days is on a much more personal vendetta reason, but I ABSOLUTELY suggest this to ANYONE that liked School Days, if you want it with some Science-Fiction and a cute girl that's also a weapon. read more

While these shows seem to be completely different in premise, both are including despicable characters who make bad choices, which leads to catastrophic conclusion. Overall, both shows will leave you depressed and emotionally broken.

Pure Mail addpermalink

School Days and Pure Mail take place in the same universe of 0verflow's visual novel franchise. Sawanaga Miki (Pure Mail) is a sister of Sawanaga Taisuke (School Days) canonically. The abusive father Sawagoe Tomaru had relations with several characters in the francise including incestuous ones. Both main male protagonists Ogata Kei (Pure Mail) and Itou Makoto (School Days) are his sons from different women.

Kimi no Iru Machi addpermalink

Both are romance/drama/harem shows where the main guy has trouble breaking up with girls and is very indecisive (School Days takes it to the extreme though). They both have somewhat unique art styles and are about equally good. The differences are that School Days is a bit darker and more mature, while Kimi no Iru Machi covers a broader time span.

Similarities:
+ Very mature romance stories about a guy has trouble deciding between girls
+ Both involve the guy getting involved in sexual activities with the girls but are not hentai

Differences:
- Nozoki Ana is much more explicit and only involves a love triangle whereas School Days is less explicit but involves more girls

Also a romance story based on game. But if Yotsunoha has just a "happy end", School Days is more dramatic.

Golden Time addpermalink

unlike school days that bring you to the path of destruction, golden time tend to give the audience the path of salvation that there is a second time. despite those difference I believe that you can tell that both of these series are good. 

there are some similarities to both of these series. they are romance anime, and at some point you'll get annoyed to the main male character just like "how could you do that ?" or something like that. you might also feel same atmosphere in both of them.

*don't hope any sexual sceen on golden time :p

Aoki Honoo addpermalink

The two top-tier anime for REAL MEN; those who follow the philosophy of 'treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen' a little too closely.

Makoto of School Days infamy sees it as perfectly fine to sleep around/have orgies with as many girls at his school as humanly possible over a short period of time... immediately after confessing his love to a sweet, innocent, melon-breasted girl. Why should a guy give a toss about things like feelings and impregnation - after all, they're just stupid hoebags if hey get all clingy after sexy time, and it's their fault if they get preggers.

Ryuuichi of Blue Flames infamy goes more down the Light Yagami path; not caring for the joys derived from sexy time. He's willing to enslave as many girls as it takes with his (presumably) massive penis in order to take over the world. Using and abusing hoebags is like breathing for manly man Ryuuichi. Put simply, he's like Light would be if he used vaginas instead of deadly pieces of paper to achieve his goals.

Note: those with the brains of squirrels may want to avoid these two. I'd hate to unintentionally offend anyone by recommending these titles. read more

Another addpermalink

Although there are a lot of positive things to say about Another and School Days, if there is one factor that brings them together, it is how silly they are unintentionally. I don't mean to bring the two in a negative light but they can sometimes be a bit ridiculous to the point of comedic level. 

Regardless, Another and School Days use students to make a somewhat realistic story in how students would go around messy situations. Another does this with the calamity causing monthly deaths, School Days does this with teenagers who just don't know how to love properly.

Both are presumptuous psychological anime that still can hold their end of the bargain with what they sell. I would imagine most would enjoy these two if they are fans of the genre.

Descent. All is good until the two protagonists make their life-changing choices which ultimately leads them down a path of internal conflict flourishing into destruction.

Stories aren't the same with DN being a case of a prodigy making it his job to cleanse the world of its awful behaviour, School Days being a love story that has the MC fall into lust. Though both are still great original ideas that work well in presenting a dark scenario of two somewhat innocent people making very regrettable choices.

Both are great stories focusing on how consuming a love for something can lead to the greatest downfall of a man. The greatest enemy is yourself. read more

School Days And Netsuzou TRap present relationship problems between the main characters such as cheating and keeping secrets from their partners.

They also show the personal issues with each character, and have ecchi scenes in the form of 'practicing' for their partner. The concept is basically the same in both shows. (In Netsuzou for Takeda and in School Days for Kotonoha).

The frequency of Risque scenes are about the same (Akane has Pantsu Shots while School days has.... Eroge scenes). The Love Triangle Aspect is very similar in terms of how the characters deal with it. The Main Character and Supporting Characters in both animies have  the same Personalities if put side by side
