Honey and Clover

You would like Nodame Cantabile because, like Honey and Clover, it's about the lives of college age people.   The two also have a similar style of animation.

Nodame Cantabile is made by the same people that brought you Honey & Clover. The premise of the show is like Honey & Clover with music instead of art, but the direction it takes from there is different. The drawing style will definitely remind you of H&C, as well as the amazing choices made in the OST (the OP & 1st ED are amazing). The characters are just as loveable and memorable as those from H&C, as is the anime itself. Nodame Cantabile, just like H&C, deals with a story of unrequited love as well as the stories of several characters struggling through college with their majors (H&C = sculptures, painting, etc. Nodame = piano, conductors, etc.) and with the pasts that restrain them from being able to move forward. Somewhat similar, but also worlds apart... in a good way.

Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile are realistic and emotional; they are made to reflect a part of our lives: college. While watching, you may fall in love with art and also with the characters that are so well-developed. Both series are about dreams, about people, and their thoughts and doings. Surely, they will change your vision of the future. Indeed, they are two masterpieces of the genre.

Both series have a collegian atmosphere and involve one-sided love. While the characters are vastly different, both series concentrate heavily with the development of the main characters and how they "grow-up". If you've enjoyed one, you'll probably like the other.

both have the same atmosphere and feeling:cute,lovely,relaxing and of course funny with slices of life.though nodame cantabile is less episodic and centers on less characters.in both we see different characters becoming friends and filling the empty places of each other's life.

Honey and clover is an anime that takes you through a broad spectrum of feelings over the 26 episodes it lasts. This is thanks to a well written story and interesting characters acting it out. Nodame Cantebile does the same thing, but with more comedy and more music. You will also recognize a familiar animation style if you've seen either because they are very similar.

Well, starting with animation, both anime are very similiar. I'm not sure about the studio's they were produced in but watching NC I can't get rid of the image of H&C, it kept distracting me in the begining. Both series are so hilarious that you won't be able sit still for more than 5 minutes and I mean it! If you have at least a tiny sense of humour you will fall in love with both of these anime. I'm almost absolutely sure that if you enjoyed one of them , the other will definitelly not dissapoint you!!

With both series focus on characters entering their adult life while dealing with the day to day struggles of school life.

With a slice of life look at the world of students, aiming for some goal in their life that they still have no idea of where they are heading is just one of the striking similiarities between these series. Indeed, they do not end there, with the same likeable characters, outstanding music and animation, Nodame Cantabile and Honey and Clover are one of the best combinations going.

Honey and Clover is more dramatic and sad, but subject of Art in both of them and very well done romance is something I enjoyed very much.

So if you liked Honey and Clover for it's peaceful yet refine story, and for it connection to art world you'll like Nodame Cantabile as well.

Nodame Cantabile and Honey and Clover are two of those series which grab you emotionally and make you want more. Guarantee two of the best in this genre.

If you liked one, I'm sure you will like the other ! They have very similiar charm, a warm atmosphere. Both are talking about art college students and their aspirations. H&C an NC are realistic, touching and has very good fabula.

The romance aspects of these shows are very different, but as for the comedy, I'd say Nodame Cantabile is the anime that's the closest to Honey & Clover.

If you liked Honey and Clover you would also like Bokura ga Ita too because both series have similar animation and smooth characters. The colors in these series resemble each other. The story is not same but not different either.

Both Honey and Clover and Bokura ga Ita feature sweet, slow-paced, relationship-centered stories that are surely to melt one's heart. Both series also feature top-notch soundtracks and are sure to absorb the viewer into the characters that are hard not to love.

Bokura ga Ita is a gentle adventure through the lives of teens; Honey and Clover is a great show that has the same poetic feel and character development that Bokura ga Ita has, only now we look at a group of university students. At times these anime will have amazing humor and absolute sadness, and are both a must see.

Bittersweet. That's the word that describes both Bokura ga Ita and Honey and Clover. They are slow paced, sentimental stories that basically say the same thing: "we were there". They surely will touch one's heart or wake up an almost forgotten memory.

Both have very deep storylines. They give the same feel. Bokura ga ita is about the ups and downs of being in a relationship & HNC is about failed love.. kinda...

The Maison Ikkoku anime, adapted from Rumiko Takahashi's seinen manga of the same name, premiered on March 26, 1986 on Fuji Television. Almost twenty years later, the very same network launched the noitaminA lineup, a programming block aimed at older female audiences, with Honey and Clover. In spite of the generational gap, Maison Ikkoku and Hachikuro are equal in the fact that both succeed where other "romantic comedies" fail: they are funny, but not childish, and portray their characters' feelings and emotions without being overly sappy or melodramatic.

If you liked one, there's no reason you shouldn't watch the other.

Honey and Clover and Maison Ikkoku are very similar in feeling, though Maison Ikkoku is more comedic. They both deal with college life, growing up, and love, even falling in love with an older widow in both series. If you're looking for a good laugh with sweet and poignant moments, then either one is for you.
