The atmosphere is so similar. I like how the intimacy between the characters is worked, how they can be realistic, funny and dramatic and how we can learn from the characters because these animes address such sensitive themes as human feelings and the obstacles that life can always bring us. Both made me finish them feeling a hole in my chest, wanting more eps.

The main couple is similar in both animes, both in their personalities and in their dynamics. Both female protagonists are hard-working and are trying to achieve their dreams with great effort. I like how the intimacy between the characters is worked on, how they can be realistic, funny and dramatic and how we can learn from the characters to be better and go after what we want.

Both animes are mature and realistic They show the daily life of a couple inside and outside the home I really like how they explore the fragile human side in these two works, oscillating between the funny, the dramatic and the reflective.

These animes gave me the same feeling when I watched them, they have a very similar atmosphere due to the way the characters act, the way they approach real personal problems and the ugly human side, weighing even on the ones you love the most, but also showing that by showing this vulnerability to the right person, your bonds will be even stronger. A mature, funny, dramatic and realistic anime

- Both works are set in a very similar period, located in an emperor's palace. The two protagonists are introverted, empathetic, discreet, intelligent, enigmatic, and reclusive. They are always called upon for missions that people cannot solve alone, leaving the task of solving them in their hands. - A nobleman falls madly in love with the female protagonist, but she doesn't care at all, because she is very dense and is concerned with intellectual things. - Both animes are beautiful and convey sensuality and knowledge. - Both have a tragic and mysterious past - Both have unusual personalities in the world of anime, especially for protagonists.

- A strong and sincere female protagonist who finds support in her friends and her romantic interest. - In both animes, we have two main characters, one of whom has a dream and is trying to make it come true, and the other doesn't know what he wants yet and sees this friend as an inspiration to pursue what he loves as a life goal. - They are light animes that show us life dramas, ups and downs, funny scenes and inspiring moments. - Both have a hint of romance, which is not the focus of the work as a whole. - We can follow the characters dealing with unwanted feelings and maturing. - Beautiful settings, with lots of nature and appreciation of food and the little things of everyday life. - A true friendship and the support that comes from it are shown. - I can see several references to Studio Ghibli in Skip Loafer, especially in the opening.

The protagonist, a calm and patient man, meets a childish, spoiled woman with a bad temper who creates a bad first impression on each other. Later he discovers that this lonely tsundere girl lives in a big house alone and neglects herself and the protagonist forms bonds with her wanting to help and take care of her. Both are very similar, for me, Toradora could be inspired by 1-gatsu, or this is a very strong pattern of tsunderes

A medieval world with technologies similar to our current ones, supernatural creatures, fights and wars. If you liked one of these works, you should watch the other one.

In both, we enjoy the daily life of the characters without any problem, the comedy and dramatic scenes, but in the end, we have to say goodbye to all this routine and it is a little difficult. Beautiful animation, a lot of good characters, colourful, drama, comedy, daily life, and adventures of the characters in it.

- Both are more serious animes - They show us a 'slice of life' (this isn't the genre haha) of the characters, their choices, and the consequences of it - They are very focused on friendship and music, and both have amazing musics - These animes are like a real-life feeling, I don't know how to explain, but if you like mature animes, go ahead!

The context is 'marriage' - The MC doesn't know which girl he wants to be with - Both have ecchi with the main couple - Nerd MC, but I don't know why he is so popular - Suddenly ecchi sometimes without contexts - Main scenarios: Home and school - The couple live alone

Very similar, but Chainsawman is more adult and dystopian, I think. - Both are about t three teenagers (one girl, an extroverted boy full of energy, and an introverted boy with black hair who doesn't talk so much) killing monsters for an organization. - In both, the MC must help this organization or die. Both have a dark vibe If you don't like MC with frivolous goals, maybe you shouldn't take a look at Chainsawman! But, if you are curious about what is going to happen, I should take a look ^^
