Ouran High School Host Club
- TV (26 eps)
- 2006
- Spring 2006
Ouran High is a school for the extremely wealthy or, in Haruhi's case, the extremely talented. But no amount of talent will help when Haruhi accidentally drops an eight million yen vase in a music room. The vase was the property of Ouran High School Host Club, a group of attractive young men who, for a fee, provide their time and affections for their lovesick clientele: the female students. Fascinated by this strange new specimen, a poor and clumsy commoner, they force Haruhi to work for them until the debt is repaid; but they get a lot more than they bargained for...

add recThere are a lot of things going on in Best Student Council. Lots of characters with many differing experiences and motivations are coming and going around the main character all while the school constantly deals with extreme events. Ouran is much the same in many respects. Some people with highly differring mentalities are all interacting in a humorous way with the school being the common ground. It might seem like these two series aren't comparable, but despite the fundamental difference between the two main leads there is a shared mix of humor and seriousness. There is also a feeling between the two of constant movement. Something is always pushing forward whether it be plot or character growth.
In both Ouran High School Host Club, and Gokujo Seitokai, we see the quintessential tale of the poor girl who gets taken in by a group of "higher class" schoolmates only to have her outshine them all with her natural inner beauty. and of course this is all made possible through a series of absurd events that have little or nothing to do with the actual school in attendance.
Oh yes! If you like any one of these animes you have to watch the other. Both animes are so comical you would laugh when you watch them. Schools with councils, clubs almost the same, unity between friends overcoming daily obstacles thats what these both animes are about and dont forget to laugh!
Ouran is basically what BSC tries to be (and fails). Unlike BSC, Ouran is actually hilarious, has interesting characters, and will entertain you. If you for some reason liked the abrasive characters and poor story in BSC, try on the far superior Ouran for size.
Azumanga Daioh
- TV (26 eps)
- 2002
Ten-year-old genius Chiyo, animal-loving Sakaki, loudmouth Tomo, athletic Kagura, weight-conscious Yomi and dim-witted Osaka are six friends who share laughs, good times, and a high school homeroom. With scary (and sometimes perverted) teachers, school festivals, penguin suits and general hilarity abounding, you can be sure that there's never a dull day in the life of one of these students!

add recAzumanga Daioh and Best Student Council are series that are all-around comedy. The selection of characters are about the same and just as silly. What I found most similar were the use of facial expressions - very funny. Azumanga Daioh has a lot of cultural references and the characters are much more loveable.
Besides the obvious similarities that both series take place mostly at school among a group of girl friends, Gokujo Seitokai, and Azumanga Daioh also share a similar sense of the absurd. Whereas Azumanga Daioh is held truer to a real world standard, both series are abound with humorous situations made possible by the often awkward positioning of a group of acutely obtuse girls.
If you loved Reno's hijinks in BSC, then azudai's Osaka talks, looks, and acts the same as Osaka (if Osaka had a wise cracking puppet)
If you loved Kouri's hijinks in BSC, azudai's Kourin is the same person with a different design and love intrest.
Outside of the two similar characters Azudai is a more laid back version of BSC, there's less action and the atmosphere is very minimalistic.
I My Me! Strawberry Eggs

Watch Hibiki as he blunders his way through embarassing situations, under the close scrutiny of the headmaster's gaze and his female students' admiration.

add recAbout the only similarity in plot between I My Me! Strawberry Eggs and Gokujo Seitokai is that they both take place at school. What really makes these two series a pair however is their shared sense of the comic absurd. With both series, you will find yourself chuckling not only at the intended puns and quips, but also at yourself for being suckered into characters who are so incredibly out of the norm.
Sister Princess

add recWhat does an extremely siscon harem Anime have to do with a slightly yuri gokusen Anime? Incredibly both Sister Princess, and Gokujo Seitokai have quite a bit in common: unbelievable characters that are so extremely dissimilar as to be virtually impossible to collect together into a story, a cast which is a bit too large to effectively use in an approximately 23 minute long episode, obvious intentional plot holes that are supposed to pass for jokes, and a tendency to continue using a mediocre plot device after it is far past being useful. But hey, if you liked one series, then I can't see any reason why you wouldn't like the other.
Hyakko
Kamizono Academy is so spacious that transfer student Ayumi Nonomura and long time resident Tatsuki Iizuka find themselves lost together in the corridors. With the addition of fiery Torako Kageyama and quirky, somber Suzume Saotome, the four quickly become friends and comrades in arms against boredom. Whether it's being a last minute Morals Officer with bisexual Nene or constructing robots with Kageyama, there's plenty of fun to go around at Kamizono Academy!

add recOut of all of the lighthearted schoolkid comedies, I think Best Student Council and Hyakko are the best match. Each involves high school students, has a very similar kind of comedy and a lot of randomness. In addition, both have a very similar colorful animation style. It's hard to vocalize why these two fit together, so try it on for size!
