Kill la Kill

Both anime series are sort of episodic - the main story is thrown in the back as each new episode unfolds is packed with infinite randomness. The action-packed, slapstick fighting scenes are prevalent in both. Matoi (Kill la Kill) and Mugen (Samurai Champloo) are both hot-headed and impulsive.

The two main characters, Takatsuki Ichika (Ano Natsu de Matteru) and Haru (Tsuritama), are both mysterious, odd newcomers to small towns who form strong friendships with some of the locals. Both anime series have beautiful landscape scenes, are colorful, and have the "summer" theme.

Both series are about boys who recently move to new towns and are oblivious of the creepy things taking place, but they get dragged into them anyways. Creepiness and unpredictability are present in both series, yet Higurashi starts off as more lighthearted and funny in addition to the fact that it is composed of several arcs.

Even though the stories may seem quite different, the hero and heroine of both shows share a lot of similarities. Tamaki and Takumi (even the names sound similar) are both rich, hot guys who all the girls fall head over heels for but they are only interested in their respective heroines Haruhi and Misaki. The heroines, Haruhi and Misaki, are both diligent girls but come from poor families; they do not care much for boys and focus more on studying and excelling at other things

They're both comedies set mainly in high school with unique casts. Many specific aspects in Toradora! resemble those in Azumanga Daioh. However, Azumanga Daioh doesn't focus on relationships between boys and girls as Toradora! does.
