Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran Host Club and Fruits Basket have so much in common it's difficult to know where to begin. They have similar situations between the characters, right down to the guys realizing they like her and fighting over her while she is oblivious. The character designs are also very alike. I'd venture to say I'd pay you 50 Turkish lira if you liked one and not the other!

Fruits Basket and Ouran High School club are definitely not similar as far as plot, but they just... feel the same. Ouran is definitely a little more high octane as far as the random humor, but both have their touching and hilarious moments, and both have very very similar character designs (right down to the mix of chibi animation and regular kind). If you liked one, you'd surely like the other!

The type of humour used in Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club is very similar, especially in the roles of the characters. All male characters have a cliche characteristic such as the cute/innocent, silly, and aloof. In both cases, a "poor" girl is forced into a "luxurious" world. The direction is very similar in that it's all-around comedy while still maintaining a dramatic center (near the end...). You'll like Fruits Basket because it focuses on the characters more than the overall story. Lastly, there is hinted romance versus a complete exposure.

Although the plots of Fruits Basket & Ouran High School Host Club are different, the series feel very similar. Tohru of Fruits Basket and Haruhi of Ouran are working hard to fulfill their dreams to make their deceased mothers proud. Both series are reverse harems, and have a diverse group of very unique supporting characters. Tohru & Haruhi influence and are influenced by the other characters throughout the series and there is significant character development as a result. Tohru & Haruhi are also relatively poor girls who are suddenly surrounded by rich boys, so they often come across as somewhat naive (although Tohru seems more in awe that she knows such impressive people, while Haruhi is more cynical about the 'rich bastards'). Ouran is a bit more excessive in it's random, explosive humour, but overall they somehow seem very alike. Every time I watch one series, I immediately want to watch the other next, so I think you will, too!

After watching 'Ouran High School Host Club' you might think that nothing might compare in terms of comedy value; you will be wrong, you have not yet met the whole cast of eccentric, loveable, maybe just a little bit crazy characters found in 'Fruits Basket'. From the prince-like Yuki to the tempermental Kyo, you will find a great deal of similarities between the male characters in 'Ouran High School Host Club' and 'Fruits Basket' including character design (Just compare Honey to Momiji in 'Fruits Basket'.

 The plots may greatly differ but the underlying theme is the same; Both young girls having lost their mothers being thrust into a world they are unaccustomed to and touching the lives of everyone around them. If you loved 'Ouran High School Host Club', you will adore 'Fruits Basket'.

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran are about a reverse harem, making the girl the center of attention in a group full of guys. The series both also deal with morality issues that are expressed throughout the show with a great deal of humor thrown into the mix.

Apart from the same voice actor appearing in both (Honey-senpai and Momiji), the series are more alike than at first glance. Both of the main characters are outsiders who are accidentally let into an exclusive world. Little by little, their attitudes and personalities start to change those around them and even themselves.

Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket may have very different backstories, but the themes of each show are very similar (each containing a kind of "be yourself" message). The characters all share a sense of loneliness, and the heroine in each show is innocent and surrounded by attractive males that care about her (but don't necessarily have hidden agendas). Both shows are heartwarming and quirky and have a romantic feel, although their stories are built mainly on friendship.

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran contain the same kind of humor. In both, there is a girl who is surrounded by boys. The characters are very likeable and every character's past is explained.

Although they have nothing in common when it comes to storyline, characters or music, both Ouran and Furuba 'feel' very much alike the instant you watch one after having watched the other. It's the same almost crazy kind of humour, at times interrupted by moments of emotion or even great sadness (though rather rarely in case of "Ouran"). Also, in both series there are female protagonists surrounded by lots of handsome boys.

As far as I am concerned, these two anime fit together like peas and carrots. If you liked one you will simply love the other, and for a smorgasbord of reasons.

Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket 'feel' much the same when you are watching them and share a very familiar mood. Their humor is similar, and is sure to cause maniacal laughter on many occasions. Also, both of these anime have the power to grab hold of your heart, and pile drive you with an array of emotions. The plots may be different, but the characters will create situations in both anime that is very reminiscent of the other. Either of these shows is certain to provide you with an all around warm feeling.

Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket have a lot of the same humor and feel to the story line. A lot of the characters remind me of characters from the other series, for example Honey from Ouran and Momiji from Fruits Basket are extremely alike. While Fruits Basket can be a little more serious and Ouran seems to have a lot of humor, they both are worth a watch.

If you liked Ouran High School Host Club, then you will most likely also enjoy watching Fruits Basket, which involves a timid girl who is also surrounded by several boys and experiences hardships in life and love.

If you've seen one of these anime and were left wanting more, then the other is a must. They are both very funny and share the same story about a poor girl taken in by a group of gorgeous and popular boys.

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club feature a kind, brunette main character who meets a vast array of people, all with distinct personalities. Each series contains an unexpected twist which is revealed early on and affects the rest of the show. Some male characters from each show seem kind of similar - Haruhi & Tohru, Ayame & Tamaki, Momiji and Hunny - so if you have a favorite character from one show you may find someone else to love in the other! Both shows have a wonderful feel-good family vibe to them!

Both Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket are funny series with hints of romance. The central theme for both is friendship and both have heroines who manage to see sides of people that were invisible to others.

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club are centered on a poor girl who plays an important part in the lives of some rich men. She is the one who helps them and becomes their friend, and knows what they really need.

Both Ouran and Furuba are hilarious; they'll leave you in stitches. Furuba has a darke/thicker plot though. Both have characters with strong personalities that interact perfectly with each other. It's interesting that the heroines, Tohru and Haruhi, have such contrasting personalities and yet have good morals that change those around them (although Haruhi probably learns/evolves more from the characters around her).

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club are incredibly charming and humorous at the same time. Although Tohru and Haruhi are as different as night and day, both stories have a similar feel - they are very uplifting and you cannot help but smile after watching. Also, while there is very little plot in both stories, the character development is outstanding. Sadly, by watching either of these anime, you do not get the "complete" story, so be prepared to read the manga afterwards!

Since both FB and Ouran are romances about a girl that had their mother die, they go good together. If you are a fan of romances, you should see these both.

Both series have female protaginsts who are very strong and independent. Both have a lot of comedy and a little romance. Very entertaining on both ends.

Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket are anime that are not about fighting, but about changing your outlook on life. Both filled to the brim with humor and realistic social problems, they allow us to change and grow with the characters. Both of these series show how one person can change the lives of others.

They both have a similar kind of humour allthough ouran host club can be more random at times.Both light hearted and feature a strong romance theme.

It's very rare (at least, in my experience) to find an anime that carries a little bit of everything. Fruits Basket and Ouran do. They're the perfect mix of humor, romance, and the teenist bit of angst. I really don't know how else to describe it... on the surface, not much is similar, but they just feel similar. And both are a must for any hard-core shoujo fan.

Series are alike. Both series have comdey and romance. If you like one of them you'll definately like the other one.

Both anime revolve around a high school girl surrounded by a group of men. Both reflect the feelings of the girl and her guy friends, most of which who eventually have romantic feelings for her.

If you like anime with love triangles and squares, then give this a try!

Both series involve a character who has lost a parent (their mother) and is also rather poor. x) Also, both main characters are thrust into situations where they meet new (and strange) people and have to adapt.

Both series are about a normal girl who gets caught up with a dysfunctional group of guys, leading them into all kinds of humorous situations. Despite all the lightheartedness, both series later reveal a surpising amount of depth in their characters.

Fruits Basket and Ouran are both "reverse harem anime" that center on how one girl slowly changes the lives of the guys around her, and how the guys become highly attracted to her. Also, both anime balance out the comedy and drama very well while portraying this theme. As a plus, the male characters are bish?nen.

These two animes are definitely different plot-wise, but similar to all the other recommendations, they just feel the same.

I think it's because of the same situation the main characters are in. Haruhi and Tohru both have a difficult past, and even though the animes both have a different take and preception of it, they're both really similar in their own ways. I find that they're both really ignorant and both are the super-cute-really-good-girls.

Both anime have female protaginists, accompanied by several guys. All the guys have different personality traits, but you learn to love them all because of who they are and how they contribute to the story and make it unique. However, even if one is more comedy based (Ouran) while the other is more slice-of-life (FB), I think the audience can see that they're both really similar and lovable in the same manner =)

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran are light hearted romantic high school comedies which are while clearly aimed at teenage girls are funny enough for everyone to enjoy. I thought the art in each was pretty similar in style and is suits the tone of the series really well. There are quite a few similarities between the main characters (Haruhi & Tohru) and as both series focus very heavily on the main character if you loved one of the series your likely to at least enjoy the other.

Both Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket are about a girl who changes the males around her as they start to feel a little more than friendship towards her. They both have intersting themes that play a big part of them (Ouran has cross-dressing and Fruits Basket has people who change into animals).

Both Ouran High and fruits Basket have a fairly light feel to them with a touch of romance,and both are hilariously funny. If you liked one you should defiantly watch the other.

Because both are about someone falling in love an going through a lot to figure out exactly who they love and who they are just friends with.

Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket are two anime definietly worth watching. Aside from being similar in terms of being a reverse harem, both of these anime will surely keep you on your seat with their light-hearted comedy and romance.

If you like your female lead surrounded by an collection of unique male personalities getting up to situations, in efforts to hide an massive secret, then both Ouran and Fruits Basket fill the agenda. They also have quite similar artistic style and laidback storytelling angles and while your enjoying the constant chattering between the characters and sometimes cringing events, you'll no doubt appreciate the complexity of the individuals lives. Watching either will mean that your quite capable of enjoying the other, so go watch!

Both of these animes are funny, but they also have a sensitive side. These two series have a love story, and will touch your heart. If you enjoy one, you may like the other.

I can't exactly explain in words why I think you would like Fruits Basket, other than both shows are undeniably cute.

The lives of the heroines in both anime are suddenly flipped upside down with their sudden meetings with unique men. Each then becomes responsible for hiding a secret. Relationships develop between these girls and the comedic characters around them that make their ordinary school lives far from normal. These two animes would appeal to anyone who enjoys comedy and light romance.

Both are a sweet little romantic comedy, with characters that are easy to connect with.

And they\\'re also both full of hot guys.

Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club are both very good comedy anime.Although they have a totally different plot,some things such as the characters and the humour,feel much alike.I realy enjoined watching them and i just couldn't stop myself from laughing the whole time!I recommend both to someone that wants to spent his time laughing until he cries!They are both awesome!:)

The reverse harem setup is similar, the strong female lead is similar, the beautiful boys with very different personalities is similar.

Beyond that, however, both animes make you feel the same kind of happy. There's just something uplifting about a character who works hard their entire life to achieve a few simple goals, and being such a nice and sensible person that they attract a group of people who are willing to work together despite any personal conflicts to make that person happy.

Oh, and if you like Momiji, you'll definitely like Honey and vice versa.

Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club have a lot in common. They contain very similar humor for one. They also have very similar characters, both design and personality. The episode building and storylines also have lots in common. I deffinitely recomment both ways!

If you enjoyed Fruits Basket or Ouran High School Host Club, then you should definitely check out the other. Both feature a central likeable female character in a situation in which she is surrounded by men who appear to be in a different world to her. Both are also highly comedic, so if you liked one, try the other.

Both have a similar art style and characters, especially the main character of Honda/Haruhi, both of which are orphans who find themselves in a reverse harem and they become very close. If you like one, it's definately worth trying the other.

Well, I think that if you like "Ouran" you'll also like "Fruits Basket" and vice versa.

Main characters in both anime are girls among guys, I think it's not unusual. And they haven't got very similar plots, but when you watch it.. you feel the same, you just love all the characters. Both Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket are deserve watching and enjoying every episode!

One girl lots of cute, interesting and sometimes down right wierd guys. sounds like love to me...some girls have all the luck. Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club, though both have their own amazing stories,  the are very much alike and if you love one your sure to love the other.

The plots are completely different. But they are both romantic comedies with really similar humor. The characters are kinna like each other is SOME cases, For example Momiji and Mitsukuni (honey-kun) are exactly the same. The difference i think is that in Fruits basket there is more drama.

Well, first off, try checking the gnres. The biggest similarity is that both these anime have Reverse Harem in it. (Oh and Comedy matches too)

So if you like Reverse Harem, Ouran is the thing for you.

Further more, the main character in both the anime is a female.

The characters in Ouran and Fruits Basket are a bit similar because, first of all, there are a variety of different natured characters. The unique personalities of the characters in both anime creates an equivalent bond between the two.

Watching Ouran and Fruits basket, and not liking one is not really possible.

Both Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket have lovable characters and growing relationships but they both leave you with a smile on your face and a warm feeling after each episode.

Both Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club have reverse-harems and are equally funny.

If you liked Ouran or Fruits Basket youd like this because they both have the same sort of atmosphere to the anime, ouran is a bit more light hearted then fruits basket, but fruits basket has deeper emotion in it. although there is this change the animes both have similar aspects like character design, humor and situation.also the male characters (main) in fruits basket have similar personalities to some or ourans characters. 

Both of these magnificent tales focus around a group of special students who have organizations at their respective schools. In Ouran, it's a club run by the students called the 'Host Club' in which they cater to the needs of the ladies. In S.A., it's an academic class made of the seven smartest students in the school. In both cases, there're plenty of moments that make you laugh, squeal, and feel down right good! It's definitly worth giving them a shot.

Both series have groups of wealthy, talented people that stand out in their school environments. They are both in the same genres and if you liked one, you would most likely like the other.

Both of them are based off in a highschool setting where it is not very 'realisit' a girl who is clueless about love and a guy who likes her is trying to show it to her. If you like Ouran High School, im pretty sure you'd like Special A.

Both are about a female heroin going in a "special" school and is about the "everyday" life that contains alot of fun. In both series there are some what of a romantic twist.

As both are screwball romantic comedies revolving around a club of wealthy students, Ouran and Special A seem to be a match made in heaven. Among other things, they share zany humor, memorable characters, and a heroine who is just a wee bit oblivious.

Well these two animes are similar from the very first episodes. Ouran High School Host club and Special A are special places for special and elite people. Special A is a class for elite members in the schol, who has highest marks and Ouran host club is for elite and inteligent boys who entertain elite girls who comes to the club. Well not the whole idea of animes looks alike. Also The characters have kind of similar personalities. The main girl is very boyish and loves challenges, the main boy don't realise how much he cares for that girl untill the very end. All supporting characters are very funny and alike too by their own characteristics - like eating to much, like beig twins or like caring for other members... well just see for yourself and you'll understand how much these two animes are alike :)

OHC and SA are essentially the same series in almost every aspect, but especially in the sense that both are light on storyline, but humorous nonetheless. (If I had to keep score, OHC delivers more laughs.) In both series, the story follows a large cast of characters participating in club activities; however, I should point out that the basis of the clubs are quite different: OHC's club involves being a social butterfly while SA's club is filled with the best and brightest of the school. OHC hails from the reverse harem genre, and as a contrast, SA has a good gender balance, so the series doesn't have the craziness of three or four guys chasing after the same girl.

Both of these series are about a specialist group within a high school. Both are also chock full of humour and romance. Also both series have a good supporting cast so the main characters don't tend to completely steal the show.

They are both High school romantic comedies. The humor is really similar. Both series take place in a "special club"wich students stand out from the rest of the school.

Special A and Ouran High School Host Club both center around a group/club of high school students who are as close as family. They also both have an underlying relationship building throughout the series. The two are lighthearted and humorous which make each episode very enjoyable.

both have high class school systems. they both have that same type of humor style to them. just watch it you will aree that they are the same

These anime have a similar feel, they are both about a group of elite students, the top in an elite school.  They also both deal with stupid teenage girls who can't understand what feelings they have for the lead male roles.  If you enjoyed one, you'll surely enjoy the other.  I made many comparisons between the two while I was watching Special A.  I'm sure you will get plenty of laughs out of either one, so please watch them both, and enjoy the shoujo antics.

Well OHSHC and Special A are definitely a perfect match. They are both set in wealthy high schools, they both have heroines (Haruhi and Hikari) who aren't as wealthy as the other students in that special organization (Haruhi got in by intelligence, Hikari's dad is a carpenter so he can barely afford the expensive school fees). Also even though they are both about people in clubs/organizations the characters don't act superior to everyone else and all the people in the organizations act like a big family. The plots are also full of fun twists in both these series and a few sweet moments too when you can't help yourself going "Awww", they also both have a stupid heroine who is oblivious to the fact that one of the lead males (more than one in Haruhi's case) has strong feelings for her until the very end. Both are well thought out and have amazing character designs. If you like one then you will definitely like the other.

This anime has not just been recommended because both characters happen to be called 'Haruhi', no, the choice, i assure you, runs much deeper.

Take the host of zany characters for example. Or the school setting. Or the fact that both anime feel right for each other. True, the plots are extremely different, and the lead characters have almost contrasting personalities (Haruhi Fujiota being forced to work for the guys in 'Ouran High School Host Club' until her debt is repaid and Haruhi Suzumiya forcing everyone to join the SOS brigade) but at the heart of both anime is a laugh out loud story which should apply to real life if not for all the crazy happenings. Definitely an anime to watch if you liked 'OHSHC'.

There are many things to love about Ouran High School Host Club. But one factor is that the main female character, Haruhi Fujiota, is strong and refreshingly different from the often ditsy, girly leads of many anime. If you like non-ditsy female leads, then there's yet another Haruhi, of The Melancholy of  Haruhi Suzumiya! And trust me, Suzumiya's character is only a small part of what makes The Melancholy one of the greatest animes ever.

Both Ouran High School Host Club and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya have a strange yet hilarious sense of humour to them, as well as being about one character being sucked into a crazy, chaotic situation along with people very different from anyone they've ever encountered.

There is also the theme of pushing taboos. Ouran had incest teasing twins, The Melancholy has using sexual harassment as a means of getting what you want. Still, these taboos are used to increase the level of humour, not to offend.

Love the name Haruhi? Adore anime that center around clubs? Enjoy a pinch of romance with just a bit of fanservice? Well then, sink your teeth into Ouran or Haruhi! Fujioka and Suzumiya are two girls not to be missed!

Action, adventure, romance! Ouran Host Club and Haruhi Suzumiya promise all that to some extent. Compelling story and loveable characters really draw the viewer in. And besides, both the main characters are named Haruhi. I mean, how cool is that?

Not only are both series highly unique and comical, they center on a club in which its members have their own different personality to bring to the table. In both cases, the leader is the most overly-dramatic of them all.

In the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Ouran High School Host Club the characters learn that something outside of their own ‘world’ exists. In the case of Ouran they learn about instant coffee, which does not seem like a big deal to the average person but to the elite, aristocratic characters it was a major point in the series. Where as in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kyon learns of aliens, time traveling, and espers, something the average person has no idea about. There is a little bit of romance squeezed into each series with some comical aspects too.

Both anime are comedies, portraying activieties of a very strange clubs, that seem to have no real goal except enjoyment of their members.

Also in both cases main character (or 2nd main in case of Ouran) is a very bright, strong, leader-type of person, with unusual ideas, that usually change the lifes of the other characters.

They both include a wonderful cast of characters and have a great balance of comedy and serious story. People who liked Haruhi in Ouran will love Haruhi in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu because of both of their complete deviation from a typical female character.

Both of these series have a wacky, random sense of humor and involve school clubs.  There's also a strong felmal lead and a touch of romance in each that draws the viewer in.  Although Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is science fiction and Ouran has more outright comedy, they both have a similar feel.

The sense of humor in both of these is quite the same. There's this blunt sarcasm that can be found in either anime. Not to mention the situation where the normal protagonist is surrounded by extreme personalities and kind of ends up being taken along on the others' rides.

Though the plots aren't really all that similar, both shows have the same feel, and both are really enjoyable.
