Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers
- TV (12 eps)
- 2011
The traditional girls-only Yuihime Private Academy is considering the possibility of starting to accept both genders and has thus made an agreement with a neighboring school to receive some of its students as an experiment to see the reaction to this adaptation. Shingo Iryu is one of the many students transferred for a ten month experimental phase at Yuihime Academy. He, his sister, and his fellow relocated colleagues are impressed by the sophisticated campus, but even more by the resistance of many students who don't want the boys over there.

Aside from being harem anime based off a visual novel, the protagonists have siblings who suddenly transfer to a new school with him. As the plot develops, dramatic love triangles form in a very similar way. If you found this at least somewhat interesting, watch the other.

Both Hoshizora and Mashiro have the same idea when it comes down to it with some minor differences; the protagonist goes to a new school/area with their sibling, they get a harem, and find their special someone. Also, the character scheme is similiar (character have similiar personalities between the two animes).

Similar Romance-Harem-School Life animes. Male protagonist gets transferred to another school where he meets multiple girls and is nice to them (not only them, everyone of course).
Mostly for his kindness the majority of these girls fall in love with him and as always like in 90% of Romance animes he doesn't realize it since he's a baka.
In Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi and Mashiro-Iro Symphony the main (male) character's feelings are unknown from these girls until the last couple of episodes.

In both anime the protagonist moves into a new town with their sibling that they care about the most. Eventually before they know it they become the center of a romance story involving many girls. Although yosuga no sora has a lot more ecchi in it, both stories feature a complex love story.

In both of these series the protagonist is comming back to a town that he once used to live in, and faces many challenges with old relationships as well as new relationships that are beginning to grow. Both of these series have many characters that begin or are in love with the protagonist, which makes Hoshizora and Yosuga no Sora a good watch.

They're both really really similar. For instance, a Shrine Maiden who the MC met as a child, or the fact that the MC and his sibling are independent. They're also living in an isolated town. I mean, the similarities probably don't stop there. They're both pretty good too. If you liked one, chances are you'll like the other one.

But what Kaede wasn’t counting on was the lords of heaven and hell coming to Earth, wanting Rin to mate with their nubile daughters! Rin, like any teenager would, takes full advantage of his newly acquired harem; but how long can he keep up his carefree, boxed-lunches-on-the-rooftop lifestyle, as the horde of girls on his tail grows?

They are very similiar to each other. The characters, situation are quite generic to the harem genre. They both have lovable stories and characters.

both animes are very good if u love one u will surelylove the other. shuffle has a couple more twists along the way but they both follow a similiar path with a main male charcter falling in love with one girl out of the many that love him. and both have charchters u will fall in love with.

Both are harem style "get the guy" anime. Shuffle! is a little more ecchi, but both deal with a high school student having to decide which girl he really loves the most. The similar settings lead to very similar comedic situation, even to the point of an amusment park date episode that is almost identical. If you like high school romantic comedies, than either one is a good choice, and if you enjoy one, then you're sure to enjoy the other.
Clannad
- TV (23 eps)
- 2007 - 2008
Tomoya Okazaki is a third-year high school student who is generally bored with life and doesn't take his studies, future, or anything else seriously. One day, however, he meets a lonely-looking girl in the school courtyard, Nagisa Furukawa. She explains to him the source of her loneliness: she had missed a lot of the previous school year and thus is repeating her third year; everybody that she knew has already graduated, and she is lonely. Tomoya is rather indifferent at first, but decides that he has nothing better to do and spends increasingly more time helping Nagisa restore the school drama club. As his relationship with Nagisa grows, Tomoya begins to open up to various other people around the school as well...

They are both harem and have very nice stories. They have similiar characters and are very well done.

My recommendations are out toward clannad because the storyline splits off into every personal line, with the main male character having a relationship with every character so it fits what everyone want, some people like it when he goes with the shy character like in hoshizora e kakeru hashi, but if you like the more forward character, they have it. I give Clannad 5/5 stars, Hoshizora e kakaru hashi 4.5/5 stars. Please remember that this entire storyline that im talking about are storys that split off, Clannad:after story, Clannad: alternate world. kyou chapter, Clannad:alternate world, tomoya chapter

they're basically the same. The main guy is loved by most of the girls, but he "chooses" the one he truly loves. I suggest this to all of those who like the same genre and happenings with different settings

kind of the same layout, different ideas between the shows. If you would like some better animation, my recommendations go towards myself;yourself

Both shows have the same initial setting: the protagonist lived in a village before having to move away to a city, and has to move back for various reasons. They also have a childhood friend that they initially forget/don't recognise.
However, Myself;Yourself has a bigger focus on drama, while Hoshizora focuses on comedy.

Not blazing any new trails for either. But both are very heartwarming and have their own quirks that make them enjoyable to watch.

Both start out as your typical boy meets girl harem where a simple kiss does wonders. If you enjoy the whole off beat comedy/sorry for the misunderstinading of Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, then this would be a natural substitue.

the graphics are completely alike. The story is pretty similar too, except that in this one the two lovers don't really like each other in the beginning.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Hoshizora e Kakeru Hashi both take place in a warm, cicada-cry filled, surrounded-by-wilderness location. As you delve deeper into each show, the aura of the town and woods begins to feel off and creepy, due to events in the past episodes. Though one includes violence whereas the other, not in the slightest, if you enjoyed one of these shows due to the slightly-off atmosphere of the setting that they both have and develop, you will enjoy the other

In my opinion Amagami SS is a step up from Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi, wheter it's suspense, tension, or even the semi-ecchi scenes, Amagami delivers. The protagonist from both animes are very similar in looks, attitude and innocence. A great watch for harem/romance fans.

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai focuses more on comedy, but the romance develops at a moderate pace very much like Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi. Instead of different girls, you have different lives.

Both are very funny and, well they're just typical harem animes. I recommend this to anyone who likes the same story (which is a bunch of girls and 1 guy) with different characters and scenery.
