Makoto has been admiring Kotonoha on the train to school every day. His new friend Sekai has taken an interest in his love life and offers to help hook Makoto up; and reluctantly, Makoto accepts her gesture and quickly is able to befriend Kotonoha. Eventually Makoto musters up enough courage to confess to Kotonoha and she returns his feelings – Makoto finally has a girlfriend! Deeply grateful to Sekai, he asks her what he can do to return the favor; she asks him to close his eyes, and gives him a deep kiss. A stunned Makoto is left watching Sekai take the train home.

add recMyself;Yourself and School Days both have, lies, deceit, blood, and secrets. So much happens in these series that you are left wanting more. The overly happy mood in the early episodes of each series really does foreshadow the darker things to come. Will the anime end with your favorite lead character dead or alive?
Both of the series story lines revolve around the characters having serious problems and secrets. Both of the series have a more mature theme to them and contains blood in the series. However, both of the series are done in a way where you get attached to the characters and get you get sucked into the story lines. both of theses series will leave you wanting more when the conclude, you will enjoy one if you liked the other.
Myself; Yourself de-emphasizes the romantic focus present in School Days, but still manages to touch upon similar themes. Each presents an apparantly innocent, sugar-coated view of youth, but follows shortly with a dark, sinister breakdown of these ideas as nothing more than fantasy. With both packed full of bleak, ominous drama, if you watch and enjoy one be sure to check out the other.
Both Myself; Yourself and School Days begin with a light hearted, pleasant feel, giving the impression that it is going to be a sweet, romantic view on the 'springtime of youth', but that image begins to deteriorate as both begin to focus more on the darker side of human interactions, and growing up. Both anime feature lies, secrets, and themes such as murder and suicide, making both a deceptive, dark watch, in the end. If you enjoyed one you will surely enjoy the other!
Similar genre of anime, except School Days is executed much better, if you liked Myself; Yourself you should enjoy School Days, but, you might not, seeing how many people are critical concerning how the story works out - but its arguably comparable to Kimi ga Nozumu Eien. Keeping to the point, where School Days holds its strong point is in substance compared to Myself; Yourself, and both are set about some similar themes, so if you enjoy this, theres a very good chance you'll like School Days
Both School Days and Myself; Yourself, are anime about school life, relationships, tragedy and life in general. They both are a lot deeper then they seem, and go much further than the "everything blooms" stereotype that we often see in simillar anime. If you liked one of them, I defenitely suggest you watch the other one, too.
I think that School Days and Myself; Yourself had similar animation styles with some of the characters being similar in personality, although School Days is a much darker anime than Myself; Yourself. They also share a sense of secretism throughout. It is very easy to get wrapped up in the main characters lives and the sense of reality in each series.
Both School Days and Myself; Yourself explore the sadness that comes with human relationships. The characters face great challenges and tragedies, and both series are about them trying to cope. You can expect a lot of melodrama from both of these series.

add recThere are harrowing occurrences in each Myself; Yourself and H2O with the same type of set up of a light comedy in the beginning followed by a sudden twist of fate revealing the tragic past of a main character.
Both guys get in a new place. They get to know everyone yet they get interested in just one girl because that girl is always "angry" (both blue-haired XD). I liked both, yet Myself; Yourself, a lot more.
Both are about the male lead entering a 'new' place that he has some tie to and how he establishes himself in town.
Each character have their own internal problems, and each series become decidely darker towards the end, with a bizare emotional roller coaster where you want to laugh, strangle some characters, feel for others, puzzle over plot changes, but find both a decent watch.
The female leads also are similar; they have a cold demenour yet are apparently very cabable. It comes down to the male lead to help wean the female out of her shell.
With the arrival of a new person into the village and the subsequent ripples they send out, affecting not only their friends but everyone else, is just one of the many, many similiarities that these series share. The rescuing of an individual from their somewhat bleak situation is another theme common to both. It would seem that thse two anime are so similiar that actually you might as well watch both at once since you'd enjoy them equally the same!
We met here with copule of friends - each of them having dark past and difficult problems that they cannot solve ont heir own. Those two anime are both about changing one's lifes with friends' help and dealing with unwanted feelings or psychological issues.
There is really stron conjunction between those two animes. You can find drama thread in Myself and Footprints. Main characters - male and female have been sorely reached by tragedy. There is also romance between male and female main characters in both.
I think that you'll like Myself if you enioyed h2o, and you'll also like h2o, if you liked myself.
Between these two animes, the most obvious one that we can see is a guy struggling to get used to his new society. Moreover, both presents light comedy and a touch of angst, as well as heavy drama as the series progresses on.
The ending of both animes are also just perfect.
ef - a tale of memories
In a high school setting, there are many people whose stories must be told: Hiro, an aspiring manga artist whose view of the world is "missing a certain color," according to himself; his childhood friend Kei, who is vying for his attention; Kyosuke, a photographer and cameraman who seeks to capture true emotion in his work; the ever-cheerful Miyako, who meets Hiro by chance and immediately becomes attached to him; the gentle Renji, unsure of his aspirations to become a novelist; and Kei's mysterious and quiet sister Chihiro, who seems to be a different person every day. As time passes and they interact with one another more, their paths increasingly intertwine as shades of regrettable pasts emerge.

add recBoth originally aired around the same time. They are darker romances with characters having a much grimmer backdrop/personality than other visual-novel cum anime characters. They explore multiple relationships and difficulties that arises whilst including the theme of memories. Both, however, ends on a postive note.
While the stories explore two differing concepts, the general relationship between these two series are similiar and makes it possible for you to enjoy both of them. The relationship seen between the characters are key to opening up the connection between them and both do this in a way that is both easy to view and enjoyable. Well worth watching.
We all have all sorts of problems, some tougher then others. But not always can we find the person able to help us, sometimes we simply don't want to. Here are two stories that carry heavy emotional aura, but give hope as well. In these manner, they are the same, so if this is what you have been looking for, don't hestitate.
Both of these series focus on characters and their relationships. They have drama, comedy, and romance in both; though ef - a tale of memories is a big step up from Myself; Yourself.
If you've seen ef and want to bring the dial down, Myself; Yourself is a good show to watch.
Both of these anime's have a lot of romance in them, and are very dark, and deep. They are full of sadness, and heartache, yet have a moving storyline. If you like either of these anime's then you are sure to like the other.

add recBoth animes deall with the struggle of love due to the promises made in the past. Characters for both series are very loveable and the comedy displayed throughout the series are well placed. The love stories for both series will have u HOOKED!!
Love hina is a little more comedic with a bunch of ecchi, but both deal with a romantic struggle, whereas Myself;Yourself has a little more tragedy and a deep, dark nature. Still they are both full of romantic connotations that have unresolved issues and the main character is a boy who made a promise to a girl and then was parted with her. Then after all that they go through numerous situations that are an attempt to resolve some inconsitencies in the relationship

add recWith the same line of story, Kanon is a story about a boy who 7 years ago lived with a familiar. When he came back he didn't remember anything at all. This anime as Myself; Yourself will give you the pleasure of childhood memories, good characters with good stories and a different background for any of them. Is related to the kind of anime that Myself; Yourself is, but it has a good-flavor twist that will leave you satisfied.
Myself; Yourself and Kanon involve a guy coming back after a long absence and having to connect again with the people he once left behind. Although Myself; Yourself presents itself in a more realistic situation whereas Kanon is full of fantasy, both have the same sort of message in the end.
