They both have a similar atmosphere and sense of humor - probably because they both share the same director: Daichi Akitarou.
A Girl That Has Lost Everything (Family And Home) And Has No Friends From The Beginning. Later She Finds A New Home With Special Beings. And I Guess Both Are Heart Warming Stories.
A high school girl becomes a deity and ends up interacting with demons. The protagonists in both stories have similar traits and a similar appearance. It also has a similar drawing style.
fruit basket is about a girl who moves in house with guys that change into zodiac animals but its quite similar to this in humor and romance and also how both leading guys have a need to watch over them and protect them from harm and both girls are cute but a lil naive to the things happening around them.
Who else agree's this gives off a fruits basket remake with tohru ending up with yuki instead? Fruba centres a girl who was "offered a home" by SEVERAL attractive boys with a dark secret of being zodiac animals. And like Nanami, she becomes involved, responsible, in a way she doesn't understand the dangers she's in.
While not entirely alike, both series has a lighthearted atmosphere in which the main female protagonist becomes acquainted with characters with supernatural abilities.
Both series also features two popular guys at school.
Both series has some action, drama, lighthearted comedy, and also romance themes involving specifically the main female protagonist and her new life.
Also about a homeless girl encountering some mythical beings. The atmosphere is very similar - sweet, bubbly and warm. The difference is, Nanami is more likable than Tohru in the sense that she isn't as 'stupid'.
both involve a young innocent girl loosing her home with nowhere else to go. The girls Tohru Honda and Nanami Momozono even look and act similar, but with nanami being a bit more out spoken. Similar characters like kyo and Tomoe care deeply for the main girl, bit have odd abrasive ways of showing it. All the boys in both shows have animials that correspond with them in a fantasy type of way. for Fruits basket it is with the zodiac and for Kamisama it is they are land gods. They have very similar romance stories focusing on one girl surrounded by interesting hot men.

Both of these series are reverse harem (male harem). The girl—Nanami in Kamisama H. and Tohru in Fruits Basket—has lost everything—family and home. They both have a chance to live with guys. Tohru is staying at Sohma's house with three guys. Nanami meets man who offers her a place to stay and she ends up living at the shrine with a guy. Both of them fall in love with cold-type guy who open their hearts to them.
Both anime are really cute and beautiful. There is no ecchi or soap opera.
they both are a romatic comedy where the boy wont admit his feelings. in both a girl has come to live with the boy because they lost their home.

Both series include a girl that has lost everything - home and family. She gets offered to live in a place but turns out the place is owned by an animal-related person. In Kamisama Hajimemashita, it involves a dog-like demon, a snake demon and various other animals. In Fruits Basket, it involves the 12 animals of the zodiac. Both very funny <3
I thought both these series were really funny with cute and likable characters! The romance in both series is really cute in my opinion and they both have fantasy elements which give a little twist to the typical shoujo :)

There's a sweet and kind girl who has lost almost everything and is suddenly taken in by handsome, supernatural beings who want to give her a home. Through these beings the main character meets an assortment of friendly faces that usually end up vying for her attention, which leads to all sorts of trouble.
Fruits Basket and Kamisama kiss both have a deep story that is enlightened with humor, romance, and fantasy. If you have enjoyed Kamisama Kiss, Fruits Basket is a must-watch!
- Share a similar feel
- Hilarious romance
- Unique fantasy/Magic

The Anime's characters are quite similar in their personalities and thoughts. The fact is that there is also a fantasy component making the anime's interesting. The differences between them is basically the characters actions or changes in a situation.

I'm not sure if it's because these anime share the same director, but they just *feel* so similar. Even Tohru and Nanami kinda look alike...
Ok, what do these anime actually have in common? Both are fantasy romance shoujo centered around a high school girl who goes to live with supernatural beings of the opposite sex after she loses her family. In addition, both have aspects of culture incorporated nicely (Furuba being the Chinese Zodiac and Kamisama being Japanese gods and shrines). Fruits Basket is more dramatic and has some darker themes. Kamisama Kiss is more episodic and has a lot more emphasis placed on the

Fruits basket and Kamisama are rather similar, it's intriguing. Both are about orphan girls, and have fantasy and shoujo elements. Kamisama is a bit shorter than Fruits Basket, but if you're wanting an anime that still feels like Fruits Basket with a bit of a twist, then Kamisama Hajimemashita is the anime for you.
They both are about a humble nice girl who was forced out of her home and come to meet god like people who bring her into there home. Throughout each anime both girls help many people especially her love interest who is lost in the world and is hiding secrets of the past.

- In both series, the main characters are high school female students who lose their home and family; that leads them to end up living in a pretty unusual situation.
- - The female protagonists in both show that become homeless are sheltered by super-natural beings.
- Same director on both, and both have the same style of comedy mixed with heartwarming moments.
- And the Artwork is similar in both, especially when it comes to the way the male characters are drawn.
- The protagonists are very soft and kind girls with no place to go and they both end up being thrust into worlds with magic

Both are cute rom/com and supernatural elements. Naïve girl and protective guy/guys. Kyo like Tomoe was reluctant to live with the girl at first but came to like her. Both girls went through accidents that lead them to live with the guys, their mom passing, and other things. I loved both so If you loved one you will love the other.

Super sweet mc who enters a supernatural world and softens the hearts of those around her. Both have hot fascinating male mc with dark pasts.
they have the same directors but both have very individual charms
-both have young women thrown into entirely new situations and new worlds where they have to learn their surroundings
-both have no family, either dead or abandoned. so they find love and support in the new people they have met
-great senses of humor, but has its serious parts as well
-both have amazing manga. i will say this, Fruits baskets story was cut off very early in the manga and is well worth the read! while kamisamas OVA's make up for the majority of the chapters and is quite honest to the original story

They're both reverse harems that revolve around the concept of the zodiac animals. I personally prefer Kamisama Kiss - I find Nanami much more likeable and cute than Tohru

Fruits basket is another one with a surprise fantasy effect where the main character goes to school and falls in love with a supernatural being. (I recommended the original animation, but the rebooted version is good as well and follows the manga better.)

Both MC are orphaned highschool girls including elements of fantasy/shoujo. Kamisama Kiss begins very similar to Fruits Basket as Nanami is kicked out of her apartment & meets Tomoe where she is invited to live at their shrine. Kamisama Kiss & Fruits Basket have the same director. Although, Kamisama Kiss is a bit shorter than Fruits Basket.

I always confuse plot points between these two shows, that's how similar they feel.
Also they have a similar "girl gets pushed into unfamiliar community and has to take care of people" situation.

Kamisama Kiss and Fruits Basket have the same director, and as a result, have a similar feel to them. They even have a similar approach to comedy. Fruits Basket is a bit darker, though it is still a relatively happy series.
Both series begin with a homeless girl without any family being taken in by someone with supernatural powers. For Nanami, it was Mikage making her a god, and for Tohru, it was being accepted into the Sohma family house as a housekeeper. (The Sohmas are possessed by zodiac spirits.)
There are characters with animal elements in Kamisama Kiss, such as Kurama and Mizuki. Fruits Basket has

It's one of those rom-com animes that when you finish watching isn't JUST a rom-com anime. In fruits basket, we got emotionally connected to all the characters because of the way all of them had generational family trauma and they all overcame it. Similary, kamisama hajimemashita also has a similar emotional touch to it (not gonna spoil it hehe)
