Toradora! - Recommendations

prodigyalchemist says...

The interaction between The main characters in ToraDora is very similar to the interaction between Louise and Saito, viewers may not notice the difference. Character development also progresses in a similar pattern.

christinedanielle says...

The female protagonists of both series look alike they're both small and have this strong attitude. The comedy and romance in both of this animes are both great, so if you loved the other then you'll surely love this one too :D

Winterborn says...

I would definetly say these two are pretty similar. Though Toradora has no magic, the female leads are identical and once you've seen both, you'll have a brighter outlook on Tsundere anime. Toradora is mroe dramatic, but in both you develope a great "relationship" with the two main characters and look foreward to their antics in the next episode. Both are great watcches.

ThePatches says...

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo is also a beautiful, funny, and honest look at first love. The movie shares Toradora!'s laid back feel and derives its humor from the simple interactions between close friends.

If you liked Toradora!, you will find Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo an equally heartwarming romantic yarn.

DeathCrunch says...

Two slice of life comdies and both love stories centered around the moral decicion.

To say what you want to say and achieve you own happiness or to say what you think you should to make others happy.

cmzzjqu says...

Lovers in uncertain/forbidden circumstances. Heartbreak aplenty.

The two differ in that:

• Toradora breaks the painful moments with comedic effect. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is about a tragic romance, not a comedy.
• Toradora's plot remains grounded in reality, whereas TGWLTT centers its plot on an otherworldly plot device.
• The visuals are near flawless in Toradora and are closer to chibi style. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is not ugly in my opinion, but its characters and environments take on realistic proportions.

PlatinumDragon says...

Both Toradora and Itazura Na Kiss have quite a lot in common. From finding love triangles to comedy. They each have their unique spice that catches ones attention and delves them into the story making you want to watch the next episode. In both anime's you have characters fighting through daily lives while trying to get the person they love to see them. They are great anime that I am sure many will love.

Darkassasin says...

They are very simular. Both are looking for love, if you love romance and comedy you should pick these up

kayoky093 says...

Character development is similar. Ita is more intense tho, even if toradora may have more likability towrds youngsters due to the fact that everything stays in school.

yelizaveritas says...

I don't know why, but everything in Nyan Koi! reminds me of ToraDora! and vice versa.

Pretty similar art, very similar characters, and even cats are drawn similarly (well, there's only one cat in ToraDora! - Palmtop Tiger, but anyway).

So If you like comedies with a little bit of romance and adventures - you should try them both!

rashura says...

Great animes with ALOT of funny scenes featuring the main character being beaten up or made fun off. Great laughs guaranteed.

Bvision says...

I followed the already existing recommendations between these two and it worked out great.

The connection would be well not sure about this but you could say character conflict is a bit simular and they are both able to put your laugh in action.

Ooh and in Toradora! the settings are a bit more mature compared to Nyan Koi! Well this one is really hard to explain sorry. :P

chocobolily says...

The male and female leads of Toradora! and Oreimo share similar dynamics: a guy who tries to lay low ends up helping out a tsundere girl.  The female character in the former needs help pursuing the male character's best friend.  In the latter, the female lead is the guy's younger sister who wants to balance modeling, being super popular at school, and secretly playing eroge.  At times dramatic but never dark, these series have a close sense of humor and brightly colored art.  Funny without being empty.

StevenSAKUJO says...

Both tsuandere and very funny, very simialr in many ways.  While the plot is very different it still brings the same kind of emotions and feelings.

Airotia says...

The two anime are very similar in leading lady as well as relationships with the leading male, except for in Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, the two are brother and sister.

The main girl in both are tsundere girls who seem as if they are very capable in some aspects — for the sister in Ore no Imouto, it's for the fact that she has a job and is popular, but in Toradora, is that the main girl is rich and can beat pretty much anyone in a fight — but are very incapable at actually 'being themselves.'

In Toradora, that takes form as the main girl not being able to return feelings for anyone or be close with anyone other than her best friend for long periods of time, while in Ore no Imouto, it takes form as not being able to admit she's an anime junkie.

As with all tsundere girls, by the end of it, the main male sees a softer side to the tsundere girl.

Other similarities include rivalries between the main girl and another girl, and though this might be a cheat seeing as it's probably a part of the general tsundere definition, the main girls in both tend to treat the main guys like their servants.

They're both extremely entertaining and have great side-characters, as well as believable drama centering around the group of people in each. Ore no Imouto has no romance while Toradora focuses primarily on it, but they both do a good job of highlighting the character's stories and their devolpment throughout the show.

KittyEmperor says...

With both series being something of a romantic comedy though the romance in Toradora is a much more central role to the series.  With school being the main setting for both stories as well as eaching featuring a leading female tsundere if you enjoyed one then you'll probably enjoy the other.

scizorg45 says...

If you like small tsundere girls, both series will suit you just fine! MM is more for the perverts out there and Toradora actually contains a good story.

if you liked one, check out the other.

AnimeFreak127 says...

Both of them feature strange cute girls and troubled men, romantic scenes and happy memories. If you enjoy one you'll definetly enjoy the other. ^^

ziggy161 says...

Both are heartwarming stories about tsunderes (Ririchiyo is 'tsun-shun' apparently!) coming out of their shell and learning about portraying their emotions normally, though InuxBoku has more of a supernatural element to it while Toradora! is more school-life based.

Tom20 says...

Such as Ziggy said, both are similar heartwarming romance stories with the only difference whereas InuxBoku SS has supernatural elements and Toradora is school-life centered.

BubaDictator says...

Both main male characters are serving their heroines and acting like their slaves. The heroines minds are created exact same way, with them being cruel, quiet and confident. If you like one you definetely will like the other.

Bunnycake says...

Toradora! and Kotoura-san both involve tense romantic feelings in a typical school setting. They both have deep and somewhat dark, meaningful subplots intermixed with comedic elements. There's also the element of the social outcast finding their place amongst new found friends in both. Both are touching, romantic, and funny, with Kotoura-san having an extra element of interest with the main character's psychic ability. 

Bronia says...

Although Kotoura has a bit more fantasy than Toradora, at the root of both anime is a story about a black sheep who finds themselves having to adapt to a new situation- new friends, enemies, and love! Toradora has a larger cast and more black sheep than Kotoura-San, but if you liked one, you should like the other. Both are full of sweet romances that you just have to cheer for, little touches of humor, and a whole lot of drama!

GrnEydDvl says...

Both shows look on the surface to be your typical moe harem type anime, but you realize very quickly that there is something much deeper going on.  While they both have plenty of light and fluffy moments, they are much more real and complicated than the typical shows in this genre.  Both shows are about being an outcast and the challenges that comes with it, and how a single friend can change everything.  If you're looking for a slice of life/school life show but want something with more substance than usual, these shows are both great.

VampGirl says...

Love Love Love need i say more?

Plenty of romance and cuteness, friendship that might grow into more *Hint Hint*

Tanum says...

While Toradora! is a little more serious anime, the characters are so sweet you can melt just like Acchi Kocchi.You should definitely watch both!

pretystarami says...

achhi kocchi's more romantic and lovey dovey version is toradora.

it's similar so i think youll love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bustaroms says...

While the two are very different I'm almost positive the voice actors are the same for some (lol) but each show has a similar vibe and love stories that aren't as easy as they seem. Overall it leaves a bittersweet feeling 

BloodyRedRoses says...

It's awesome, they both have many similar qualities in the genre and it's just worth watching in general.
