White Album
Synopsis:
Touya Fujii is a young university student who juggles two part-time jobs with his studies so that he can afford to live. The most important thing in his life is his girlfriend Yuki, but since she is an up and coming idol they barely get a chance to talk, let alone see each other. With her managers keeping a close watch on her and attempting to prevent their relationship, it seems that Touya and Yuki will simply have to make the most of their fleeting moments together. However, they do have one person fighting in their corner: Yuki’s friend - the famous idol Rina Ogata - hires Touya in order to create opportunities for the pair to be together. Unfortunately he is promptly fired when the production company discover her plan. When she pledges to make it up to him, Touya begins to wonder if Rina is all that she seems, and why is she going to so much trouble for him and Yuki?

add recThis show and Nana share alot in common. Both are focused around musicians and their relationships. Nana is a good deal longer and has more progression over time, but both shows have numerous relationships.
Nana is more so focused on the friendship and everyday lives of the two female leads than the romances they are in. Because White Album is shorter and focuses on only one guy, for the most part, it is very much centered around love triangles.
Also, both shows take a semi-realistic approach to romance. Its always somewhat akward, but never goofy or echhi style harem.
If you loved the love triangle that non-rocker Nana got in, you will looooove White Album. Its like Nana squared. However, if you really got attached to the banter between the two Nanas and thought the romance was only ok, you'll want to avoid White Album.
If you like White Ablbumn you'll love Nana. They are both based around students involved in the music industry. Nana has love triangles and drama that will draw you in instantly.

Shinichiro Nakagami is an everyday high school student, with the exception of having his beautiful and athletic childhood friend Hiromi Yuasa living in his household after the death of her parents. Unfortunately, their relationship is cold at best - Shinichiro can tell that she is suffering, but she acts coldly and distant from her foster family and so he is unable to help ease her sadness. His family is also forcing him to practice a traditional Japanese dance that does not interest him, adding to his frustration. On top of that, he is cursed to misfortune by another girl in school, the eccentric Noe Isurugi. Shinichiro juggles all of these problems on a day-to-day basis as he learns about love and the sadness of those around him.

add recThese two shows share a very similar visual style and when you boil the plots down to their core, they are very similar.
However, thats not why i'd recommend them. What I really like is that both shows have a male lead with multiple possible relationships, but there is never one that feels totally impossible.
White Album's number of possible suitors is a bit overboard (5 at my last count), all of them seem very possible. Depending on the episode, you may find yourself rooting for someone completely different.
That's what makes me recommend it. As the main character's emotions flip flop back and forth, so do mine. That aspect really grabbed me and hooked me for both shows, and thats why'd i'd recommend them.
The relationship between thoes two films are not totaly clear, but i beleve that many will see ti like me. The feeling is in many sencies quite close. They are both intime relation dramas between people that really loves each other, and shuld just let thiers harts come loose... Easy sad but far from easy...
Both are good animated, but True Tears loocks just amazing. The animators here has really played with strong pastells and made a truly beautifull, but still realistic world. White Abum on the other han has a more realistic look - probably more sutible for that type almost melodrama.
