The concept of the two series. A rather chanceless guy manages to get a bishoujo character which doesn't have a human indentity. DearS and Chobits are both ecchi, though while Chobits has some sort of subtile ecchiness, DearS has the more radical ecchiness. No nips in either series though.
ralphp2
In both, the leading lady starts off somewhat mentally not-there. And both have a lot to do with what is and is not a human. Both have VERY cute leading ladies. And both have lummoxes for the leading men. Both also are very well drawn overall, and both have beautiful musical scores.
kamirura
Cute non-human girls? The geek guy getting more love he ever needs? hehe sound familiar? Just like DearS chobits contains alot of ecchiness and cute girls. I liked chobits alot better than DearS so be sure to check it out. Chobits got a dark side to it too.
aries
Having watched DearS before Chobits, I didn't think of it as simply a Chobits ripoff, like some other people do. If you liked DearS though, Chobits is for you. It has a similar plot, Ren and Chii are nearly interchangeable, but Takeya is a little more apathetic than Hideki, I think. Chobits has a more solid progression of events, and its 26 episode format helps it contain more details. It's up to you who is cuter, though: Ren or Chii? I can't decide!
7thMethuselah
Both of these have the same basic storyline : a regular school kid one day gets himself involved with a beautiful girl, however one who's completely oblivuous of the world and its ways. In Chobits this girl is in fact a computer while dears' girl is an alien. DearS is alot more ecchi than Chobits, but Chobits' story is far better. Add some comedy and you're set! Due to the similarities it's impossible not to like one when you like the other.
remoneko

They have a very similar storyline; a regular student living an everyday life, but finds a beautiful girl on the streets. In both anime, these "beautiful girls" happen to be a robot (in Chobits) or an alien (in DearS). The two non-human girls sees the guy who found them basically as their master/owner, each causing different troubles for their "owner". The two anime are filled with lots of ecchi-type humor.

walsellers

Swap a girl alien for a girl android and a college-bound farm boy for a stubborn high school boy and you've got the same sort of formula in Chobits and DearS. Chobits' Hideki is probably more likeable than DearS' Takeya, though.

madcomic

"Chobits" revolves around the same kind of theme as "DearS": both have a girl who suddenly appears sleeping in the main character's room, and who is totally "alien" to the outside world. Besides that they both have similar problems concerning the question of "can you fall in love with someone who isn't human?"

HollowIchii

Both of these anime have a similar feel to them, and a similar plot: a boy finds a bewildered girl who can't even speak. DearS is a bit more ecchi than Chobits but Chobits has some as well. Similar character attitudes and an overall feel ensures that if you liked one you'd like the other.

tuff2baunicorn

In both DearS and Chobits an average guy is lucky enough to stumble upon a hot non-human chick and wind up sharing his home with her! Although Chii is an android and Ren is an alien they still share the same charming and innocent disposition which may make both series appealing to fans of the respective anime. The series both share very similar main characters, but this doesn't feel like a rerun, it's more like a new twist on a favorite!

Svamp

The basis of the plots in both DearS and Chobits is the sudden appearance of an empty-headed girl in the life of our protagonist. She ends up staying at his apartment and he has to teach her how to lead a normal life. Cue the silly anime antics!

They are first and foremost comedy anime, and second, drama anime; both are ecchi, as well.

Ran

Both anime have a similar plot, involving an average student getting his hands on a bishojo by accident and bringing it home. Just from the first episode, the resemblance is already astonishing: both have the exact same construction of the plot, similar comical situations, similar personalities of the main characters, and the same graphical style and quality. DearS's ecchi scenes are less subtle than the ones in Chobits, but both series give off the same feeling.

narutoxhinata1

Chobits and DearS are really very alike. In Chobits there are persocoms, which are almost the same as the aliens in DearS. Though personally, I think DearS is sort of copied from Chobits. I think they feel the same, so you should like one if you liked the other. ;)

Lcn

Chobits and Dears have similar main character a student who "founds" girl in chobits it's a cute persocom and in DearS an alien girl in both anime they do their best to make him happy... Both anime have a mistery What are Chobits and What dears realy are and do they have human like feeling?

KThxBye

Enter social outcast guy who just sucks with the ladies and add a brainless robot/alien chick that doesn't quite understand the real world. What do you get? Why, both Chobits and Dears, of course! Both series focus on a rather unpopular guy who stumbles upon a needy/broken girl. The girl imprints on the guy and from then on devotes herself to him. Much comedy, embarrassment, and romance ensue in each of them, along with a similar plot line in which the girl is more than she appears. If you liked one it's almost guaranteed you'll like the other.

Zesty

Both of these animes are almost the exact same thing. The only difference is that DearS cuts out some extra stuff that Chobits has. The anime starts off the same way for both animes, except that in DearS the main character doesn't want a Dears, while in Chobits he does. Other than that, the main character finds the DearS/Chobit takes it to his home and starts teaching it the life and culture. If you liked one, than you will defiently like the other one.

Jaxtreme

The story is almost similiar but when you watch chobits it give you an other feeling and it have a lots of fun stuff in all of the episodes. Sorry for the bad english

sasuke8208

Bothseries are about your run of the mill guy who happens to stumble upon a pretty girl walking home one day and has her live with him. If you liked one series, you'd deffinately like the other

rumble14

These two shows feature the same basic plot. Guy meets girl who isnt exactly human and tries to teach her how to be normal while developing feelings for her. Both are very funny and should be watched.

Anzelya

Both of those animes include beautiful girls, that are not really human. Of course they try their best to fit in. At the beginning in both of those animes, those girls can not speak or do anything normal humans could. Classically those girls mysteriously hook up with a poor guy, who now has the duty to teach the girls speak and do other logical stuff, which of course means lots of funny scenes in the progress. If you liked one of them, you would absolutely like the other one, as they are very much alike.

YannickR

They are both about the same thing, a male with a robot girl in their house.

The series both revolve around the adventures of the girl and the male character with ecchiness all over the place,especially in Dears.

jurexplay

Well, this one is extremely easy. Both series start with finding robot/alen girl in whom the main character falls in love with. Both girls the tittled Dear and the tittled Chobit do not know much about living in society and everyday problems. Both series are very humorous but they can be very serious at times. Definitelly better than usual harem shows. Worth a watch.

Spectrum

Chobits is just plain cute. It has a good story, characters, seiyuus, and animation. If you are looking for a romantic comedy along the lines of Dears and Happy Lesson, then definately check this one out.

shoahunter

Both series focus on a relation ship between a somewhat clueless male and a simple-minded non-human girl. Although Chobits' story prevails over DearS'. DearS steps on Chobits face when it comes to ‘stupid' funny and ecchi moments. It depends on what kind of anime you are looking for.

ZeratuelX

Both animes are very similar. They both have a main character who has quite a few embarrassing moments with the not-quite-human individual that lives with them. They are both hilarious to watch because in almost every episode they do something studpid or say the wrong thing.

Kirowyn

Both of these animes are about boys who find themselves getting into prediciments over robotic women. The romantic aspects of both series is very similar.

legendaryexsoldier

Both series utilize the magic girl type of theme. That being said, Chobits are androids instead of aliens. If you enjoyed DearS then Chobits will be recommended for your pleasures...

AnimeK91

Both of these anime's are about a guy that meets a strange girl and has to live with her and teach them how to be a normal person.

naoom

The story in DearS is almost the same as Chobits, although chobits has a bit darker en dramatic side of the story. Both anime are about a girl that's not human. That will take you into hilarious moments with in both anime some ecchi humor. Aslo the romantic aspects are very similiar. I think if you liked one, you'd surely like the other ^^

Pumar

If you liked it you should definetely watch it, its have similar plot so if you liked one of it you should be satisfied.

Zechariah

Both of these series are about for most part a guy meeting a girl with no memory, He takes her in teaches her, through out this they go on adventures and learn new thing together, if you enjoy one of these series you'll enjoy the other just as much.

Arielle

These two are totally alike. Both about a guy who lives on his own and find a woman on the street. In dears it is an Alien and with chobits more like an android. But with both they are like slaves and totally need to be re-educated in every way.

The animation and humor are also very much alike and also there is some nudity and sexual discussion in both. I am sure that if you like one you will have to like the other too.

TheOmnipotentLemur

DearS and Chobits are often said to be twins. While I personally found Chobits much more palitable, both are quality series that follow much the same plot.

Tyrannical

DearS and Chobits are fundamentally the same. They both deal with a student finding an alien, or persocom, with little knowledge of human ways who they gradually gain feelings for. They are both ecchi, DearS more blatantly so. In each, Chi and Ren will do anything for their masters and love them.

GrantZ90

DearS=An ecchi version of Chobits

So in other words they're almost the same show, but DearS being a bit more superficial.

I'm sure almost anyone who has seen the two could agree with me on this.

Girls Bravo

Girls Bravo main image

Yukinari is blessed with an clinical fear of women, commonly known as gynophobia. In addition to his mental ailment, he has the misfortune of being short and weak, making it easy for women to overwhelm him further. Even when his childhood friend, Kirie, approaches him, he immediately breaks out in hives. Thus, life is very lonely for Yukinari, until suddenly in the strangest way possible, he is transported into another world, and into the arms of the beautiful shoujo, Miharu! This time, for the first time ever, he isn't doesn't react. Could this be the start of something special?

I had similar emotions when watching DearS and Girls Bravo, though in general DearS is the best ecchi anime I've seen. =) 

Cornebus

There is a similar situation between these two anime. The main character finds himself surrounded by girls (less in DearS but you get the point) and the "feeling" of the anime is really similar. If you like comedy/romance/ecchi and a bit of magic/mystery, these are the two best anime to fit those categories.

And when I say ecchi....

kamkaw

Both series are about sudden girlfriend appearance but there is more... In DearS boy hate aliens and in GB main male have even an allergic reaction on girls but in both cases main plot lead us in happines... or not... And both are ecchi in the same way...

Lcn

Both anime are about relation between a boy and an alien girl who suddenly appears in their life .Both of them are echii . Girls in both anime are somehow different from other of their kind.

EricCarson

If you found you liked the comic hilarity in DEARS provoked by strange social cimstances, you would like Girls Bravo without a doubt. Over-the-top reactions, and women with warped personalities are all a part of the bundle!

Ran

In Girls Bravo and Dears, a fair share of situations are alike, mainly because in both series, the main character is a boy that is blessed with a girl that everyone would want but him. One being allergic to them, the other hating aliens. Either way, this is an excuse for more comical situations and ecchi scenes. Both Dears and Girls Bravo, though they are part of the "harem anime" bunch, still differ from them by providing some extra mysterious aspects that make them just diferent enough to stick out.

worosei

Boy meets magical girlfriend from random event. Magical girlfriend contains some power that is unknown, but an evil organisation wants to get rid of them.

Both girlfriends like melon bread and eating in general, and are mostly clueless.

The boy is also mostly useless, yet somehow attracts a bunch of girls to live at his place. All the girls secretly like him (much more in Girls Bravo), but the original magical girlfriend and him stick it out and declare their love for each other by the end of the series semi-defeating the evil organisation through a deus-ex machina.

Generic plotlines, but enjoyable to watch and the characters are mostly endearing and there will be one or two who you will like and route for. Just note that Girls Bravo is very ecchi, and has a larger emphasis on action and is much more 'harem'.

lainkitty

I watched both of these anime within the same week and still sometimes get them confused with each other. There is a guy that is the hero and lots of girls that are interested in them. The main girls are "aliens" and they fall for the guy. The comedy in each is very similar as well as the art.

mlow44

Girls Bravo is another harem/ecchi like DearS. Both are very funny series and will give you a lot to laugh about. Also, if you're like me and prefer this animation style, both have similar animation style.

Damaged

When I watch either one of these anime I can't help but think a lot of the other series. Both of these anime have beautiful girl characters from another planet that are in love with the first male that they see. Ren (DearS) and Miharu (Girls Bravo) are also very similar in just about every way. They both love food and they both have worn an apron with out anything else (hahaha). Though Miharu didn't wear a pot on her head (lol). Of course, both these anime have the typical harem themes to theme so if you like that genre you are bound to like these

TheOmnipotentLemur

The series are alike in too many ways to count. Both are heavily ecchi, both are filled with cute girls, and both have aliens. If you like one its likely you will like the other.

Maburaho

Maburaho main image

Kazuki Shikimori is a 17-year old junior studying at Aoi Academy, an elite school for the magically gifted. However, unlike enrollment to the school would suggest, his magical prowess is below-average. In fact, he can only use magic eight times in his life, or he will die. But not all is not lost: Kazuki's family tree includes the latent genetic material for magical greatness. After that information leaks out, Kazuki suddenly becomes the most popular male student in the school, and girls from powerful magician families begin chasing him to get his genes.

A similar school setting, lots of unreal powers. Both series have it. Though where the humor in DearS is mainly fanservice-based. Maburaho only has this a little. Maburaho also has alot more drama and romance than DearS has.
EdvisR

I had similar emotions when watching DearS and Maburaho, though in general DearS is the best ecchi anime I've seen. =) 

kamkaw

Those Anime are similiar because of an unrealistic reason of love between main characters and both series give us a proof that even an confusion and hesitation can lead to a beautiful love...

sAsAk1

The same ecchi, pantsu humour. And of course the harem theme. They both have the same 'feel'. As light romantic comedy with a hint of drama. And of course the supernatural aspect of the story.

lainkitty

In both the lead character is male and he is surrounded by girls. Both have lost of comedy, Maburaho tends to have more drama and has magic and things that are revealed throughout but they have a lot of the same feel throughout.

mlow44

I'm always about the comedy/romance, and the /harem in both of these series is a serious plus. Look them both up!

Love Hina

Love Hina main image

Love Hina contains the same ecchi-like humor that DearS had, only with the harem element. Just like the main character of DearS you will feel sorry for the main characters in this romance as well as they strive to simply live together.

mlow44

Both are two of my favorite anime series of all time, and both are of comedy/romance/harem genre. They're both good bets if you're looking for something to laugh at.

Shirotaka

Thes two series have a similar feel and sense of humour, focusing mainly on the eechi/majiboke style. Comedy and misunderstandings form the basis of storylines in both these romantic comdedies.

Rizelmine

Rizelmine main image

In the present, the Japanese government has been conducting experiments to genetically engineer a human: a girl named Rizel. The experiment was a success -- sort of. While healthy and cheerful, 12-year-old Rizel also ended up possessing the uncanny need for “love” to further her development, as well as tears which were in fact volitile explosives! When sadness can end up destroying a city block, what's a girl to do except... get married?! For Iwari Tomori, the young man chosen as the most appropriate partner for Rizel, life is about to change, for better or for worse!

Both series are boy-meets-girl anime series, though with as main theme the rejection from the boy side. (Ie: Girl wants to get closer, boy wants to get rid of her). Besides the somewhat more loose humor in Rizelmine and the somewhat less ecchiness in Rizelmine, these series are quite similar.
madcomic

Both "Rizelmine" and "DearS" are about a guy who gets a single girl in one way or another pushed upon him. Both main characters are slowly growing attached to the girl's presence.

tonkatabe

both male leads have a similar type of humour,get into ecchi situations,hang around a lot of women and have a corny ending
