Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! - Recommendations

kio3459 says...

Both anime have School life, Club full of interesting characters, and a guy who cant seem to catch a break!  Both have the guy who used to be weird in middle school aka the delusional guy who thought he lived in another world.. He eventually "grows up" in high school when he gets sucked back in by a girl who has ulterior motives and now has to deal with a bunch of problems aka girls. 

If you like school life, comedy (delusional kid that gets blackmailed), romance, sprinkled by a little bit of drama then both of these animes are made for you.

junpi says...

Yuuta Togashi suffered from chuunibyou while he was in middle school. When he graduated, he put that dark history behind him and forgot about it... or he was supposed to. High school was smooth sailing and full of enjoyment - until the unavoidable, sad event occurs. The event that locks Yuuta into a contract with Rikka Takanashi and disrupts his desperately ordinary life. Adapted from the back of the first novel

KingArthur13th says...

Both of the main characters in these two anime seemed to have suffered from Chuunibyou in their past and it has come back to haunt them as they try and live a normal life. Both main characters have to not only deal with their embarrassing past but also with a group of fairly awkward females.

Ambition says...

150%. I swear these shows are like siblings... crazy. If you enjoy one, you will enjoy the other. 

kiritoXAsuna says...

           amazing animes with great story and unexpected events happen there :D , recommended badly .

snivets says...

Chuunibyou is the biggest common link between these two shows, as is the harem/high school setting. Both are pretty typical, and do little to deviate from the norms of their shared genre.

AnimeBaller22 says...

Eita, err, I mean BURNING FIGHTING FIGHTER, can easily relate to the Dark Flame master. This anime is the same in many ways, including the 8th grade syndrome, romance styple, and character traits.

martin65363 says...

About the same feel both great anime both about a crazy main female character that is saved by a border line as crazy male character one has more romance

OratioFidelis says...

Both are slice-of-life romcoms with a chuunibyou character. The major difference being Oreshura is an unwanted harem comedy, whereas Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! is a slightly more serious coming-of-age adventure.

Brad says...

With both shows being made by Kyoto Animation the aesthetic similarities between them are obvious from the moment they begin. The character designs follow the same "cutesy with weird legs" designs that most recent KyoAni shows have, their mannerisms are also similar.

And while Kyoukai no Kanata is looking like being a much more serious show than Chuunibyou, the premise in both see's a male character dragged into all sorts of problems by a strange, socially awkward female lead. And while each show has a mix of comedy and drama, it seems liek KnK will be leaning towards the dramatic side more than Chuunibyou ever did, with it instead focusing on comedy more often than not.

It's extremely likely that fans of one will find the other enjoyable.

ZetsubouKaiji says...

While the plots of these show are quite different with Chuuibyou being a school life comedy and Beyond the Boundary being about hunting supernatural beings, both anime have a lot in common. These are both shows with fluid animation, top notch art, moe character designs, a similar sense of humor and even very similar characters.

Both anime are about a guy getting dragged into various situations by a socially awkward girl. The situations in Beyond the Boundary are more serious and often dangerous, whereas the situations in Chuuibyou are mostly comedic. However, in both anime the socially awkward girl does lead to a lot of comedic social situations for the guy.

Despite one being a comedy both anime have well animated fight sequences. In Chuuibyou these fights are all in the character's heads whereas in Beyond the Boundry the fights are real.

Despite the differences in plot and tone of the show these show share a ton of styistic similarities and if you liked one then you should check out the other.

carmine01 says...

They have a realy good animation beside the Beyond the Boundary they have a realy interesting dark story,after all the specialist from this anime is the graphic of the animation from kyoto animation that's we know they alway's put some's moe2(cute) thing was being mixed with a great action and a great supernatural combination that's can make you feel a new great experience from this anime, and for another one that's Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! they have a good animation too but the different is just from the stories in this anime make some good stories like K-on! but still can't beat the sensation of K-on! i think,but that we know the good between love stories and the club is realy more to be cool one . . .

Rastamepas says...

Need a new dose of KyoAni animation and character design? Don't look any farther. Both of these shows have your vary similiar cutesy KyoAni character design with a pretty decent background of art and animation that goes along with it. While both tend to have similiarities in art and design they are very different in regards to story.

Beyond the Boundary tends to focus more of supernatural and action while Chuunibyou tends to be more comedy and fantasy based. Both have a male lead who is randomly pulled into situations by the female lead. While Beyond the Boundary tends to be a little more serious Chuunibyou has a more comedic approach to them

Chances are if you like classic KyoAni looks and a fantasy/supernatural story you'll like both of these anime.

Azukano says...

The female protagonists are fairly similar based off their character structure as someone that is different from most. They are taken in by a mature male who watches over them, making sure they are able to adjust to life the right way. So the characters are fairly similar. Both are animated by Kyoto Animation, so the art style is really similar and the atmosphere as well. So if you liked one, you will surely love the other.

YuiYui says...

To start off both are made by the same studio so have quite a similar style of art. Both include a main female character who is above normal in a way and a male who is trying to control the female lead...also both animes have a group of main characters which is pretty similar. Quite a bit of each are based in a school, even though beyond the boundary is more about the fantasy. Anyway both are really good in storyline, characters and drama!

theocatsman says...

Both shows share similarities in both animation and storytelling, with each of the characters having a more dramatic reasoning behind all of the silly shenanigans that they get into. Both pull at your heartstrings near the end of the series and leave you wanting more. They are both beautiful and endearing succinctly told stories. 

megalith says...

If Chuunibyou took itself seriously, it would be more Kyoukai no Kanata. Rikka and Mirai are at similar levels of moe-ness, and Rikka's "power" seems to be awfully similar to Mirai's. Yuta also seems quite similiar to Akihito in appearance and laidback, but occasionally inconvenienced personalities. The romance between the two pairs has surprising parallels in its execution: warm, charming, and feel-good, even when exposed to the presence of a mini-harem.

AnimeSpaceBR says...

• Two of my favorite anime, two true masterpieces made by Kyoto Animation, without doubt more than recommending to all these two magnificent works 💕😉💘 !! 

snivets says...

The female leads in both Denpa Onna and Chuunibyou remind me a lot of each other--wacky antics that teeter on the edge of sanity. Each show's female character is complemented by a male main character who wants nothing more than to live a normal school life, but is torn between that and each one's desire to help the girl "recover" from her bizarre mental state.

seine says...

Both of the main characters find themselves dealing with major otaku of some time despite the fact that they want to live a normal high school life. Their lives become filled with crazy antics.

Madoka says...

Both Denpa Onna and Chuunibyou are actually quite similar in the way they tackle progression within (Denpa Onna is one of my favourite anime because its characters). Both Erio (Denpa onna) and Rikka (chuunibyou) are rather unique individuals wether its spending your life wrapped in a futon thinking you are a alien (or was abducted by aliens), or you just wander round town screeming jiberish about magic powers - both are sorta... insane, not in a negative way, just very funny due to weird habbits in which they both seem to rely upon the main male protag to help them adapt into normal society - much to ones distaste as both just want to enjoy a normal school life and enjoy their youth. Both anime compliement progression well and make the characters very cute and loveable, with somewhat unclear interest developing between one another as the story moves on.

Bronia says...

Both shows are strikingly similar, but different enough that you're not watching the same story twice.

The male leads both strive for a normal school life, but have this goal interrupted by an eccentric moe girl. The series' both focus on the guy and he tries to "fix" or at least attempt to understand this girl, all the while balance other friendships, generally with equally moe and beautiful girls.

Denpa focuses more on the home life of Erio and Makoto, while showing social and emotional repercussions of Erio's eccentricities. Chuunibyou focuses on the school lives of Rikka and Yuuta and their club, while shedding more light on backstory of the "Eighth Grader Syndrome."

JAhU says...

The plot of both series revolves around a high school boy dealing with a delusional girl. Both feature a fair amount of comedy, a little bit of drama and some romance (though in case of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko it's just a little bit).

I can also add, that male leads in both of those shows are kind of cool in their own way. Anyway, if you liked one of those anime, odds are you might like the other one too, because they're similar in many ways.

FullmetalDragon says...

Both feature girls who believe they aren't ordinary humans, and have a similar style of comedy. They're both very sweet series, and if you liked one you'll definitely like the other. 

Lordiban42 says...

I found both of these incredibly cute and felt like they gave a similar impression to me. I was reminded of Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai while watching Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko by the very nature of the characters and the relationships between them.

Azukano says...

Both shows feature a school club in which 5 members express "supernatural" powers with one another. For Chuunibyou, it's make-believe. In Inou Battle, it's actually real. Both have a huge sense of comedy and light-hearted humor, with the addition of a character in Chuunibyou acting in a very similar way as the person in Inou Battle. If you liked one of them and their sense of comedy, then you should enjoy the other.

HasseRovdjur says...

Chuunis unite! Both anime feature a high school club filled with people that have powers, though in Inou Battle the powers are actually real, and yet there is still room for eight grader syndrome. There's also some romance involved in both anime, and both casts are primarily female-dominated.

soynegroyque says...

Overall they are anime that sync on the same period in young people's life a period called Chuunibyou which is the distortion of reality to create a personally preffered one. People who undergo Chuunibyou are looked down upin by others but it is through this event in which they learn about love and to improve their realtions with others. The main difference is that in Chuunibyo the characters never experience real experience with supernatural events while in Inou Battle the characters are exposed to realized manifestations.

Jakounezumi says...

Both involve chuunibyou, and the male mainprotagonists have very similar personalities... could almost in theory be the same guy, with the difference that in Chuunibyou Demo he's gotten over being a chuuni and in Battle Wa he is in full chuunibyou bloom.

CoolAsahina says...

Both anime feature relationships between two MC's who are or at one time were chuuni's. Both anime share the genre's SoL/Romance/School/Drama, and feature a cast of mostly female characters and one male who are part of the same club after school. The girls are really cute in both.

featherstone says...

Both feature Chuunibyou, and other teen delusions. "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!" for me was more funny tho.

Balzack says...

Both in a high school setting, and they both possess a similar amount of moe cuteness with female leads that are downright adorable.  They're also both incredibly funny.  Kotoura-san is a little bit more ecchi than Chu-2 but neither are all that inappropriate.

Fargo says...

Both of these anime follow the story behind a cute girl who's a social outcast until their lives change by meeting their respective male leads. The animes follow their misadventures as they experience friendship, romance, drama, and coming to terms with who they are as people.

MagicalGirlKaori says...

Both series, filled with supernatural events/imagination, involve being outcast from society and being able to be yourself, whoever you are whether it be someone with eighth-grade syndrome or a mind-reader.

NinjaKittyTrist says...

Both anime's portray two people who seem to be complete polar opposites, yet they still have a llot in common. they are also both romance and comedy! even tho the comedy shines thorugh in both!

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series feature high schoolers involved with superpowers - whether they be real or imaginary. They both feature their share of comedy and drama, and are great series. 

Stoi84 says...

Both animes involve a boy and a girl living close to each other, going to the same school, are part of a group of friends and a lot of comedy. They also develop feelings between the main characters the same way. If you liked one for that last reason, you will definitely enjoy the other too.

Jsrf38 says...

Both Toradora and Chuunibyou are remarkably similar in a multitude of ways. The character development is the stand out feature of both of these anime, so if you really liked how the characters progressed and were portrayed, or even just who they were, either anime is a great choice to watch. In fact, it's almost necessary. There really isn't too much to say, so I hope you take my word for it.

icewizard says...

Toradora is also a primarily Slice of Life Anime just like Chuunibyou. There seem to be lots of similarities among the characters too. So it's obvious that if you like the characters from Chuunibyou, you're bound to fall in love with Toradora characters too. 

SPOILER

There's this lead couple that seems highly unlikely to be in a romantic relationship at first because of the crushes they have on some other people. They become good friends though, hanging out each other's house all time. And then slowly, somewhere along the lines of helping each other out with their crushes, they begin to fall in love with each other.

Another very common thing in both is a relatively mature girl who at first helps out the hopeless characters with their love lives.

Although there might be similar themes in both of them, they are both entirely unique. The stories are not even cliched or alike even in the slightest. 

The thing I like about both of them is that they are both totally original in their themes and there hasn't been any anime like either of them.

So if you liked Chuunibyou, Toradora is a must watch. And if you like Toradora, Chuunibyou is a must watch. The masterpieces of Slice of Life <3

BlackKnigh7 says...

This is a must watch for all Toradora fans. The best Slice of Life I have ever seen. I feel like the characters have a lot in common. Although the story is uniquely different, it still feels like there are many things that are the same. Love this anime.

Animescient says...

While I think love, chuunibiyo and other delusions is better than Toradora I find that there are very similar elements especially with how the characters are characterized and form their relationships. While Taiga is a tsundere ryuiji still helps her form better relationships with the other classmates and even looks after her. They have one male friend and two female friends. It's a a similar dynamic in love chuunibiyo and other delusions except rikka is a tsundere whos personality isnt abrasive and her and yuta dont pretend to like other people. The characters in love chuunibiyo and other delusions also feel more fleshed out like their own people who's thoughts aren't affected by the main characters 

Lilit says...

Both explore the same set-up- guy used to be delusional, but finally managed to outgrow it. Now he's faced with his past self in the form of cute girl. He can't help but be involved in her fantasies and their struggle with reality begins.

Aura takes a more dramatic approach to the story while Chuu2 stays light and funny, but both are romances at their core. If you’ve seen one of them and want to see the story play out in a different way (with mostly the same main characters) check out the other.

YuiYui says...

Both are about a male who used to be into a delusional world, now he tries to live a 'normal' life in a way. Before he meets a not-so-normal girl which then expands into a whole group of these characters. The main storyline is just about the same and both focus on the development of love between the main two characters. So in conclusion if you like Aura then you would like Chuunibyou and the other way round.

KuroOkami says...

Both stories revolve around a male former-chuunibyou that somehow gets stuck with a female current-chuunibyou and the male must help the female navigate the "normal" world, however he usually gets dragged back into his former lifestyle.

FullmetalDragon says...

These two series seriously have almost the exact same premise - an ex chuunibyou guy meets a chuunibyou girl and they generally live life. Both are very good, so you'd definitely like one if you liked the other. 

HKBattosai says...

If you like Aura: Koga Maryuin's Last War or Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! then you'll like the other because they both feature a female main character (MC) that is very deep into chuunibyou and a male MC who used to be and is trying so hard to stay away from that lifestyle and behavior. In both series, the female MC still sees the male MC as being the same as them. The females risk everything to remain that way as well.

Sev229 says...

Well, honestly, there are two reasons: they're both from Kyoto Animation, and they're full of MOE!!  But seriously, both series are the type that are just filled with warm feelings that make you laugh (sometimes to the point of crying) and they also make you want to hug somebody or something and cuddle. I'm a guy, by the way....

LocheNessie says...

Both have a preteen-ish "I wanna grow up, but I also don't" theme. K-On touches on the lighter stuff like friendship & differences, and Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! touches on stuff like Loss & romance.

BakuBlows says...

I have watched both and they are amazing. I beleve they have a conection because of the soundtracks. 

Rikkawicked says...

Chuunibyou and k-on are both works by Kyoani and they both have the same atmosphere and are wholesome

KingArthur13th says...

Two incredible comedic romances between a relatively normal MC and an incredibly weird heroine. Sakurasou's heoine is a talented savant while Chuunibyou's heroine has chuunibyou (8th grade syndrome). The MC characters are tasked with taking care of the heroine and this situation creates a touching yet hilarious romance series. Both Sakurasou and Chuunibyou are both amazing comedic romances that you need to see.

sofifi says...

I feel like they're both pretty similar, idk

Both couples live together, they're both comedy, school life, and dramas.

You'll understand if you watch them lol

Fargo says...

Both of these animes feature a laid-back, well-minded protagonist  that has their life changed when they meet this crazy, unique girl that has an unusual motivation in her living style. Both girls form clubs to accommodate their unusual interests and serve as the central focus for their respective animes' casts. If you're in the mood for a light-hearted anime that dips in the comical and unusual, these two animes are for you.

ashman711 says...

both shows feature an unusual female lead character getting  the "normal" male protagonist to go along with thier schemes. the side characters are all fairly unusual in both shows(bit better developed in chuunibyou). if you like the zany unpredictable laugh out loud moments of one, you're sure to like the other. 

HohenheimOfLight says...

Highschool guy meets weird highschool girl, together they start a club that searches weird things - joined by other hot girls.
