For some far out reason when I was watching Chi's Sweet Home I associated Chi with Hunny-sempai from Ouran High School Host club. The cuteness factor just oozes from both characters. If you liked one you're sure to like the other.

One Piece

Now in this grand age of pirates Luffy sets out to gather a crew and sail to the most dangerous sea in the world so that he can fulfill his dream... and maybe even his appetite!

It's a rather long stretch and it probably won't work the other way around..

But I was watching Ouran Host Club and I couldn't get rid of a feeling that Tamaki reminded me of some other character.. It was bugging me for a while until I realised it was Luffy The Straw Hat he reminded me of! Both are conceited yet good-natured idiots who have an inexplicable ability to make people follow them.. If you like this side of Tamaki you might be interested in Luffy as well.. They are completely different in all the other aspects though..

School Rumble and Ouran High Host Club both very random and funny. Like School Rumble Ouran High Host Club both take place in high school and both focus heavily on relationships.

If you like Tsubasa Chronicle then you'll defently like Ouran High School Host Club and vice versa, both have a way of making you laugh out loud and you'll aww over the main characters. Story lines may differ but the meanings behind both anime remain the same. They both have a way of making you laugh and smile and maybe even cry, heart telling romances, and characters from two different life styles fall in love.

If you enjoyed Ouran High School Host club for its somewhat over-exaggerated and dramatized plot lines based around school troubles and teenage love stories, more than likely you will enjoy Gakuen Heaven for the same reasons, as well as it's eccentric ensemble cast and central characters extremely out of his/her environment. Both animes are pure fun with very few serious elements, a lot of comedy, and an underlying romance. Chances are, if you enjoy Ouran High School Host Club you will also enjoy Gakuen Heaven.

Rilkar Rilkar says...

The main character, Haruhi, from Ouran seems kind of like a parody of characters like Alen Walker who are geared more to girls despite the fact that they are in Shounen (boys) anime. If you like Ouran I would recommend watching D.Gray-man to help understand all of the parodies.

Bamboo Blade

Bamboo Blade

Kojirou-sensei, the rather indifferent teacher and coach of the school kendo club, is in financial dire straits. As a result, he makes a bet with his fellow kendo coach and former upperclassman to see who can assemble and train the better female kendo team, with the prize for Kojirou being a year's supply of food if he wins. Motivated by the idea of free food for a year, he begins to teach the club seriously; however, most of its members have already graduated, and so he is tasked with assembling members in addition to training them for the competition with his rival. While dealing with his eccentric students, he slowly rediscovers why he loves kendo and what it truly means to be a teacher.

Both anime involve high school clubs. They both have a nice happy feeling to them and have similar elements in their humor. If you liked one, then you can't go wrong with the other.
