Both of these series represent the animated adaptations of visual novel games who also happen to have some pretty explicit harem and ecchi elements mixed in them aswell. Nekopara beign the one that is far more extreme between the two, if my information is correct. A trend that is reflected on their respective anime judging by their shared explicit content and the way they deal with it. Provided the similar nature of both their shared origins, one could feasibly expect some pretty heavy familiarities between the two and one would be right to do so; both are some pretty sweet slice-of-life shows with a slow pace and light-hearted attiture that take an episodic approach to their storyline, and besides some basic premise that is brought up at the very beginning and end of the show, doesn't really have an structured plotline and is more about the characters going about their day and doign random things along the way. There's also some sexual innuendo present here and there (which is not surprising considering, where both these shows came from) but it never gets too explicit or overwhelming for them to be properly considered ecchi. At most, you will see a random panty shot here and there, and maybe some boob related humor, but nothing beyond that. And sure, sure, Hoshizora lacks completely the anthropomorphic aspect that Nekopara completely relies upon to the point of getting its name from it. But honestly, considering how similar they are on everything else, you could pretty much ignore those two aspects and still get a pretty enjoyable experience. This recommendation, in particular, is for the "Kakaru ka?" special that takes place aproximately one year after the events of the main series and only after its history has concluded. In case you haven't fully catch up what I was trying to say with that statement: only watch this special after you have finished the main series, else you wouldn't know what is going on nor the contenxt on which the character are deriving their actions from.

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan

These two animes came around roughly at the same time, not to mention the fact that they try to appeal to somewhat of the same demographic when it comes to viewers... And sure, they might not appear to be too similar to one another at a first glance, but hear me out, but those two facts mentioned previously plus some other unexpected similarities later down the line, but make each other complementary. For a certain type of audience, at least. So, not only are Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan and Kimi no Koto both products of the 2023-2024 (-ish) season of animes and the people it was aimed to, but they are also extremely over-the-top comedies of their respective genders and make use constanly of references to other pieces of media aswell as meta comentary on the anime industry and the communities that have formed around it, not the mention the ocasionall 4th-wall breaking moments that happen from time to time. Both of them don't take itself too seriously, present too complex of an storyline, and were made primarly to be played for gags and little else. So, even tough these two titles might not be anything too similar when it comes to any concrete element, the vibes are kind of the same when it comes to both of them. Which is sufficient for me to believe you could potentially enjoy either one and link them up with a recommendation in the process. This recommendation, in particular, is for the second season of the Kimi ni Koto series. As this anime follows a linear storyline, tho, it is absolutely vital for you to start your journey across this show not throught here, but instead, throught its predecessor; the first season of the aforementioned anime series. Should you not do so, however, you run the risk of not understanding what is going on, as you would have missed upon a good chuck of the story until that point.

Both of these series deal with the topic of polygamous relationships aswell as the challenges the participants of the aforementioned type of relationships might face and the interpersonal dynamics that develop between them as time goes by. All of this, in a day-to-day scenario that deals mainly with mundane activities and situations even school-aged people of the real world might face. Kanojo mo Kanojo, while still beign absolutely comedic in nature - don't get me wrong on that one - chooses a more dramatic and somewhat serious approach to its topics that features complex character development and a more structure storyline. While Kimi no Koto rids itself completely of that aspect and instead cranks its comedy up a notch and delivers to its audience a laugh feast whose function is more to have a good time rather than deliver any nunced view within it. These animes are indeed similar, but don't go expecting to see each other be a carbon copy of either one because they have also their significant differences. Be aware of those aspects before deciding to watch as to have a better experience with them. This recommendation, in particular, is for the second season of Kanojo mo Kanojo, before starting watching, tho, watch the first season as it is absolutely VITAL to watch first in order to understand pretty much everything that happens during the second season. Keep that in mind before watching, else you get disoriented later down the line.

Aho Girls aswell as Kimi no Koto are exaggerated comedies who, due to the overplayed nature of their jokes, could very well be interpreted as parodies of their respective genders; Kimi no Koto takes a completely harem direction, while Aho Girl is more of a Slice-of-Life show altough is not completely lacking on harem elements also. The both of these animes rely on a cast of exccentric personalities to deliver their jokes: their interactions are nonsencial and exaggerated, often ending in slapstick humor beign delivered via one or two characters. There's also no shortage of fanservice in either of these two, altough Kimi no Koto takes the lead when it comes to what it dares to show on screen. Overall; two very nice harems shows who fans of the genre will no doubt love for their positive qualities aswell as its fast pace and on-your-face style of comedy. This recommendation, in particular, is for the second season of the Kimi ni Koto series. As this anime follows a linear storyline, tho, it is absolutely vital for you to start your journey across this show not throught here, but instead, throught its predecessor; the first season of the aforementioned anime series.

Both Seitokai no Ichizon aswell as Kimi no Koto are the two of them very heavy-handed on its premise harem shows were a very exccentric male MC insists on making his female counterparts happy and satisfied with a polyamorous relationship no matter the cost. In Kimi no Koto, however, those feelings are accepted by everyone involved while in Seitokai no Ichizon there's a bit more resistence on part of the girls and turns don't run as smoothly between the main cast as they do in the first series. These two animes also constantly break the fourth wall as well make use constanyly of meta comentary on common tropes and themes present along anime as a medium to deliver gags and jokes, even tough Seitokai no Ichizon relies more heavily on the aforementioned humor than its counterpart does. Kimi no Koto compensates, however, by offering an exaggerated amount of fanservice than Seitokai no Ichizon not even comes close to superate, as it is rather lacking on that department. Maybe these two series aren't carbon copies of one another, but share enough similarities and themes to warrant a recommendation. You will enjoy both of them, probably. This recommendation, in particular, is for the "Watasu Seitokai" special that takes place during Valentine's Day and the girls try to express their feelings towards Key-kun to various degrees of success. Watch it in any point throught the runtime of season two you desire. It doesn't really make any diference, really.

Nekopara also takes a more slice-of-life approach towards its episodes, while Seton Gakuen is more about the comedy. Neither of these two series follow a storyline too complex, instead beign episodic in nature. All while beign light-hearted the two of them. They are also somewhat fanservice heavy, Nekopara slightly beating Seton Gakuen on that departament, if memory serves me right. This recommendation, in particular, is for the Seton Gakuen onsen special that takes place shortly after the conclusion of the 12th episode. As one could easily deduce from what I just wrote previously, you should watch it only after you finished the main series.

Both CGDCT animes centering around a cast of teenage-aged girls and their everyday shenanings. Some supernatural elements are also involved on both series, which furthers add to their similarities. If I had to point at a few differences between the two tho, I would be quick to signal how Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan centers a lot around meta commentary on the anime industry and communities. While Gabriel DropOut prefers to stay in character and its gags mainly revolves around physical humor and interactions between the main cast, as well as the inversion of roles of angels and demons among their cast, of course.

While it is true that Wataten! might not be about "angels" - at least not in the literal sense - while Gabriel DropOut is (not to mentions the wildly different subject each of them tackles). Their similarities are strong enough to warrant a recommendation. For starters: despite the first of these shows focusing more on the lolicon aspect of things while the other one leans instead into a more traditional CGDCT setting, both of them, ultimately, are about a group of cute girls going about their day getting into funny shenanigans for us, the audience, to enjoy. With an overall feeling of lightheartedness flying everywhere and a soft color palette to accentuate the carefree feeling of both animes. And sure, the lolicon aspect in Wataten! might turn a few people off, but c'mon, it's not like Gabriel DropOut is that innocent either and the lolicon element of the aforementioned series is greatly exaggerated by pretty much everyone, really. Fans of both shows should be fine watching one another. This recommendation, in particular, is for the "Precious Friends" movie that was aired three years after the conclusion of the main series. You can start watching from here, if you want, truth is, you can start at whichever point you desire, as there is no overarching plot to be followed, but I would recommend starting from the main series as it is the core of the IP else you won't understand the dynamic between characters that is established on the first episodes of the anime.

For starters: despite the first of these shows focusing more on the lolicon aspect of things while the other one leans instead into a more traditional CGDCT setting, both of them, ultimately, are about a group of cute girls going about their day getting into funny shenanigans for us, the audience, to enjoy. With an overall feeling of lightheartedness flying everywhere and a soft color palette to accentuate the carefree feeling of both animes. And sure, the lolicon aspect in Wataten! might turn a few people off, but c'mon, it's not like Gabriel DropOut is that innocent either and the lolicon element of the aforementioned series is greatly exaggerated by pretty much everyone, really. Fans of both shows should be fine watching one another. This recommendation, in particular, is for the main series or "body" or Wateten!, which constitutes the core part of its IP. You can really start watching from whichever point you desire, as there is no overarching plot to be followed, but I would recommend starting from here else you won't understand the dynamic between characters that is established on the first episodes of the anime.

Provided you don't seeign the CGDCT aspect of Gabriel DropOut sacrificed in favor of something with a that bit more of that sweet slapstick humor that made the aforementioned so good, Aho Girl might be just for you. If that part of the anime is what you liked about Gabriel DropOut the most, then Aho Girl might be exactly what you are looking for provided it is the same things with a few changes in setting and tuned up to eleven. Granted, both of these series might be quite different on their themes and the way they develop them - Aho Girl beign sort of a harem while Gabriel DropOut beign a CGDCT, as previously mentioned - but they both have in common centering around a group of excentric personalities and the hilarious shenanigans that arise from the interactions between one another - often ending up in one or more members of the cast beign physically aggravated.

Urara Meirochō and Gabriel DropOut both present a classic CGDCT setting with supernatural elements present in them. In the case of Urara Meirochō, those elements are more arraiged into the common spirituality side of things. While Gabriel DropOut is based more around organized religious imagery and the mythology often associated with it. Lots of similar things going for both of these series, really; the comedic style is similar, the characters are similar, the settings are (somewhat) similar. I could go as far even as suggesting the artistic and sound design of both of these are similar, really. Even if the seemingly different themes might make these two series not so like one another at a first glance.

Angels, slapstick humor and maybe even, fanservice - the three things that might come to mind when talking about Gabriel DropOut - which casually are the three things also that Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is about. This recommendation is primarly for those that enjoyed Gabriel DropOut's sense of humor and wouldn't mind seeign the CGDGT aspect of the show sacrificed in favor of more of it. As in Dokuro-chan there's no aggrupation of cute girls to follow in favor of a classic harem setting. As such, the jokes derived from the interction between the aforementioned group get completely replaced with even more slapstic and echiness - and oh God, is there echiness everywhere - There's also a considerable amount of gore in Dokuro-chan that's all but auscent in Gabriel DropOut. And while it is nothing explicit or too detailed the vast majority of the time, be aware that that show is quite fond of using that kind of humor for a considerable amount of its gags. So if you aren't quite good handling exposure to those kind of things, then Dokuro-chan might not be exactly for you. This recommendation, in particular, is for the second part or "season" of the Dokuro-chan series, altough it could also be for its second one considering the almost identical nature of the contents dealt within it. Altough I wouldn't recomment watching the second part without having watched the first one also, mainly continuity reasons more than anything.

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi

Beign both To Heart and Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi animated adaptations of VN games, it is to be expected for there to be more than a few similarities between them. On this particular case, the familiarity between the two is so extensive as to be almost impressive. The same tropes embodied as characters are present on both series almost to a pulp, beign almost an 1:1 reflection of one another. They also share genres and overall themes, as both of them are slice-of-life comedies with a harem undertune. Their sense of humor and pacing and pacing beign similar as well. I could go on and on about the similarities of these two, but by this point, I believe you already get the point I am trying to make. The only difference I can think of, at the moment, beign Hoshizora's protagonist beign younger than that of To Heart and having a younger brother. That while also having a different enviroment: To Heart beign urban while Hoshizora is rural. But honestly? They affect so little to the progression of both series that I might aswell not mention that aspect at all. This recommendation, in particular, is for the "Omake" or special emision series of shorts that aired after the main series. They are all pretty sweet and well made, you can find them with ease on the internet should you go looking from them. I recommend watching them after you finish the main To Heart anime or looking for a bit more of that sweetness that franchise has to offer.

I don't recommend watching the follow-up series "Remember my memories", as it is almost completely unrecognizable from what its predecesor tried to achive. If you really want to, go ahead and watch it, but as I stated before; expect a completely different experience than the previous one. Be it for better or for worse, you decide.

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan

These two animes came around roughly at the same time, not to mention the fact that they try to appeal to somewhat of the same demographic when it comes to viewers... And sure, they might not appear to be too similar to one another at a first glance, but hear me out, but those two facts mentioned previously plus some other unexpected similarities later down the line, but make each other complementary. For a certain type of audience, at least. So, not only are Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan and Kimi no Koto both products of the 2023-2024 season of animes and the people it was aimed to, but they are also extremely over-the-top comedies of their respective genders and make use constanly of references to other pieces of media aswell as meta comentary on the anime industry and the communities that have formed around it, not the mention the ocasionall 4th-wall breaking moments that happen from time to time. Both of them don't take itself too seriously, present too complex of an storyline, and were made primarly to be played for gags and little else. So, even tough these two titles might not be anything too similar when it comes to any concrete element, the vibes are kind of the same when it comes to both of them. Which is sufficient for me to believe you could potentially enjoy either one and link them up with a recommendation in the process. This recommendation, in particular, is for the first season of the Kimi ni Koto series. As this anime follows a linear storyline it is absolutely vital for you to start your journey through it here as you wouldn't understand what is going on the second part by not doing so. Not to mention that you would not see the introduction to many of the great waifus that make this show so memorable and their character arcs. An absolutely lose-lose situation, if you asked me.
