Kokoro Connect - Recommendations

Naga says...

Both are school life anime aboutd not so normal group of friends and what happens to them. In SY they are in student council, while in school club at KC. Both have calassy sex jokes, though a lot more in SY, and not so classy... Both have a set of funny yet screwed up charachters. If you liked the sense of humor of one go watch the otehr.

Aranneas says...

Above rec is spot on, just keep in mind that Kokoro has strong supernatural elements which serve to drive along a complex plot, while Yakuindomo is essentially a gag reel.

Aranneas says...

Complex relationships with strong, believable characters. Numerous references to very modern undertandings of cultural, sociological, and psychological phenomena. Quite a bit of mindscrew to go around.

SirPalesAlot says...

I agree with the above recomendation. The only difference is that there are no otaku culture themes present in Kokoro Connect. If you liked Kokoro Connect for how the characters had to face their problems and grow then you may like Welcome to the NHK. Either way, both shows are worth the watch.

Doomoo says...

Both anime are about a group of highschoolers who have a lot of personal problems/inner turmoil and form a club together and with each other's support they overcome many of their issues and grow as a person.

Hecadoth says...

There are many similarities displayed in both anime, mainly the oblivious hero which attract a lot of girls, the school club activities and my favourite of all, the tsundere character that constantly trying to win the heart of the main character. You'll definitely love both.

Doomoo says...

Both anime are about the members of a school club and their encounters with the supernatural and their personal growth through the support of eachother.

YuiYui says...

So both of these anime involve a supernatural thing (yeah great description), well these anime are both around a group of teenagers who all belong to the same club and got caught up in supernatural occurances. Also some of the  characters are quite similar in personalities. The bonds between each character clearly grows as the series go on(in both) so in this way they are quite similar. So I think if you liked one you should check out the other.

While the premise of Angel Beats! and Kokoro Connect are different, they both are driven by characters building relationships with each other and working out their past traumas. This is especially true during the first arc of Kokoro Connect. Angel Beats! has more characters and is ultimately a heavier drama than Kokoro Connect, but they have a similar feel to them in terms of character interaction. If you like one, the other is worth checking out.

Frosty007 says...

I totally agree that Angel Beats and Kokoro Connect will attract the same kinds of people. Both shows are about helping people with past traumas. While Angel Beats is a little more extreme than Kokoro Connect (in certain aspects which I won't spoil) both Anime can be easily contrasted.

So if you have enjoyed either Anime, but you haven't seen the respective, then pull up a chair, lay on your bed, or wherver makes you comfortable. Because you're going to be there for awhile. Trust me!

Both of these anime are about a series of strange events (bodyswitching, etc) that occur in a group of close friends. While Natsuiro Kiseki is lighter/more comedic and Kokoro Connect is darker/more dramatic, both amount to testing the strength of friendships through events that should be impossible.

Mephistoph says...

Both are about group of close freinds experiencing supernatural phenomena, Natsuiro takes more comedic turn while Kokoro Connect is more serious, but both shows are great to watch.

wimbley says...

Both kotoura-san and kokoro connect are about a group of friends brought together by a school club. Both are about something supernatural. If you like one you will probably like the other.

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series are about highschoolers with supernatural powers they can't control, and how it effects their lives. 

ofall says...

Both are school lives where the characters (all friends from a club) and put into a supernatural situation. The both combine comedy and realistic drama in a really enjoyable way. While Kokoro Connect is alot deeper than When Superatural Battles Became Commonplace (so far), they both give off a bit of a similar feel. Fans of one should at least try the other.

FullmetalDragon says...

These two series have incredibly similar atmospheres and have similar plots. You would definitely like one of you liked the other.

GrnEydDvl says...

These shows are both about a seemingly ordinary group of high school students who are given special, yet incomplete, powers that change the way they view themselves, each other, and the world.  They both start off light and happy and seem like they are going to be standard high school romances, until you learn very quickly that they are anything but.  Both shows are incredibly emotional, forcing the characters to deal with complicated and tragic events that bring out the best and the worst in them, and both shows made me laugh and cry.  Another bonus is that they both actually come to a statisfactory ending and don't leave you hanging, wondering when the manga is going to finish.  If you are looking for something more mature, intense, and emotional than a standard high school based anime, these shows are for you.

bolokun says...

Both are about super powers - in kokoro the super powers are not especially good and are forced on the characters though...

Aranneas says...

Both shows are high school dramas with somewhat complex characters that get played for an over-the-top, almost soap-opera-like effect. If drama is your thing you'll find pelnty of it here.
