La Corda D'Oro ~primo passo~ - Recommendations

Maverynthia says...

Both Corda and Nodame involve music and making music as well as competing with the "elite" style muscians.

icehanyou says...

Both series are full of music and fun. The main character in Nodame is very much like Hino because she doesn't think that she can play very well; but in reality everyone loves to hear her play. No magic violin is in Nodame, though... just a normal piano. 

tetra says...

If you love classical music and anime about people who love classical music you really should watch both Nodame and la Corda d'Oro. Additionally both anime are beautifully animated, and has well thought out plots.

LaughOnceInARedMoon says...

Both Nodame Cantabile and La Corda D'Oro follows a group of students going to school for music, and involves the competitions that they participate in. If you enjoy classical music I think you would like these series.

Kez says...

Both animes are very similar. Nodame in Nodame Cantabile plays differently based on her feelings at the time. This is also how Hino from La Corda played her violin. Both are very emotional and leave an emotional impact.

algelic says...

Both series focus on the «discovery» of the true concept of music by music students. While the theme might be the same, these two shows have completely different moods. In Nodame you'll spend half the time laughing, while in Corda d'Oro it's mostly a serious mood sometimes bordering on depressive. Not to say that Corda is a bad anime... I liked it very much. It's just that it has a completely different take on music. Other major difference: in Nodame there are many interesting and different characters and many plot twists... while in Corda there are less characters, who aren't very different, and the story isn't that unpredictable.

kevn57 says...

Both are about music students, and both have strong female lead characters that are just a bit strange. Both animes have a strong appreciation of classical music and just by watching you can't help but learn something new about music.

Fonz says...

Both series features competitions involving classical instruments and follow characters in their evolving relationships with other participants and with music itself.

risuta says...

Both Nodame Cantabile and La Corda D'Oro are anime series about classical music! The have lots of romance and quite a few funny situations! La Corda D'Oro is indeed a reverse harem type of anime, although Nodame Cantabile focuses on the feelings of a girl towards one boy, if you enjoy romance with lots of beautiul classical music and you liked one of them, I am sure you will like the other as well!

Caramelo says...

Both animes are about music! Music lovers are sure to enjoy them. The realtionships in between the characters are sweet too, just that for La Corda, the ending was a bit wrong because the main character didn't end up with anyone. At least the animators didn't make it apparent.. But overall, both La Corda and Nodame Cantabile are really good!

chamomille says...

Both series let you enjoy the master pieces of classical music. You can learn about hard work that people studying music must face and the sacrifices they have to make. If you liked one, you would surely liked the other.

MariJine says...

A strong musical theme is present in both animes. Both heroines exhibit an inate love and joy in playing their respective instruments. Both heroines are also happily surrounded by handsome males that add romantic interests and comedy to their lives at school. It is inspiring to see the growth each character makes along the way throughout each story!

joykimlee says...

Both are sugoi to watch, listen, feel, learn, enjoy and appreciate classical music through the eyes, ears and heart of a female student protaganist.  Even hard rockers will convert into classical buffs.  Must watch for all music lovers!

Tanum says...

Well, both series are really great and it gives you a peacefull state of mind. If you are into classic music you will find great song performed in an unique style.

The other resemble between both of them is the ability of heroines to play parts of music after a few hearings. Plus you are able to "see" parts of a music student life, witch is great.

shortlex says...

In the world where a female is the center of attention, it'll take all the guys around to help her in a time of need. In both Ouran High School Host Club and La Corda, you'll have tears brought to your eyes watching the guys come to the rescue of the main protagonist. If you like reverse harem anime with a touch of humor and manga influence, then Ouran High School Host Club would be the anime to watch.

wolfangel87 says...

These anime could be part of a reverse harem comedic enterprise. Ouran Host Club is a lighter anime than La Corda and has a more comedy. Both series have a plethora of characters who express different opinions and views towards the heroine, making the resulting setting magnificent. La Corda takes on a more serious note due to the stress of having to learn how to play the violin.

Hyorinshiro says...

Both Ouran and La Cordo revolve around a young girl who has a very carefree attitude at first, but then matures and sees the wonderful opportunities that have been presented to her by "bad luck." She is surrounded by beautiful guys who are admired; these guys eventually start to see the good sides of the girl and fall for her. She must decide who to choose, but who will it be? You'll have to watch to find out!

littlekitty says...

Both are outstanding shoujo reverse harem anime. Each show plays on Bishounen stereotypes but they do so in a way that is refreshing and enjoyable. While La Corda is more of a drama and Host Club is more of a comedy, both series effectively focus on character interactions and development rather than on plot.

LovelyEpic says...

Both series are pretty much about a girl who doesn't really fit in, but accidently join a school club where she makes a lot of new friends.It's really fun to watch the girls in these anime grow and mature with the help of their friends and families! And to play "Who Gets The Girl". ;D

Caramelo says...

Ouran and La Corda are nice. Even though the storylines aren't very the same.. But still, the development of realtionships are nice in both cases. Both are cool ><

singularity says...

These animes are very similar. While OHSHC pokes fun at itself and its stereotypical characters, La Corda D'Oro does not, but those are really the only differences. Both feature a female character who changes the lives of the men around her by her own strong will and personality. Both also blossom with exciting romance possibilities.

Ty719 says...

Both are reverse harem and have excellent music. If you enjoy romantic comedy, this is a good choice.

tenshi28 says...

Well, they're both reverse harem. And almost all characters are wealthy. But the their plot is different from each other. Anyhow, watching both series will definitely satisfy anime (and reverse harem) lovers out there!

lehop2 says...

well i think you would like ouran host club because it has those moments where youre in suspense thinking WHO IS SHE GONNA CHOOSE!?!?!?!?!? just like in La Corda where the main character is also surrounded by guys and gets into situations but ouran focuses more on humor and has LOL moments La Corda focuses on the beauty of music and hardships they were both awesome and have segregated classes that think they are "better" then everybody else

summerchild says...

Both animes deal about a girl in the middle of a bunch of boys. They have a great deal of funny moments, although La Corda D'Oro tends to be more serious & dramatic.Both series have a wide range of characters and you'll sure find one you can fall in love with ;)

miriam321 says...

Male harem, the girl doesn't seem to be interested in anybody in particular but everyone is super in love with her and think she's the best thing that's ever been - though she didn't really do much. It may sound cheesy when I write it that way, but I so happen to love this kind of stories hohohohoOuran is much more the comic type, though, and it takes this harem theme in a very sarcastic way. La Corda d'oro is more "serious" and dramatic. But if you liked one, chances are you'll like the other too! :)

animelover1477 says...

they are both reverse harem that have to do with a girl that seems to attract all the guys to her with her lovable wuality, in uta no prince-sama there may be a guy that will start to like haruka just like in la carda, with the main girl and the guy with the blue hair(forgot name). either way they both have to do with music and a school that focuses in music. another similarity is that the girl in uta no prince-sama haruka may have a talent but she has o work really hard to play the piano in la cardo (spolier sorta) the girl also was given the talent to play he violin but after she lost that she studied hard to learn to play it again

Trinityx94 says...

Reverse Harem? Filled with Bishies? Revolving around music? It's obvious that the two of these animes are very similar and therefore if you like one you'll definitely like the other.

In terms of what you're looking for in an anime though, they can slightly vary. If you are looking for a storyline with a little meaning and an anime that focuses on the instrumental side of music, you're probably going to want to watch LCD more. The characters appear to have more depth and stray from the stereotypes, something that is rare nowadays. However, Love 1000% has its own unique points of view. With each episode there will be new music, new songs, something that is very intriguing and you can look forward too all the time. The initial storyline takes a while to get going, but it is in it's own right, something to watch.

I gurantee if you enjoy one, you're likely to enjoy the other :)

sm3xyang3l says...

Both animes revolve around one girl whose studying music at a music school. Both protagonists are surrounded by a lot of bishonens who all end up infatuated with her. Both animes are really good and i think if you like one of them you'll most likely like the other!!!

WhiteInkDrop says...

They are both very similar. One deals with classical music, while the other deals with modern music. But it's still music! They are both, in a way, reverse harems filled with handsome male characters. The plots for both are quite meaningful as well. Would you like the other if you liked the first? Probably, yes!

Annalyn says...

The moment I started Uta no Prince-sama, I thought of La Corda D'Oro. I waited six episodes to make the recommendation, just to confirm the connection, but my first instinct was right. Both have many charismatic, musically talented male characters created basically to make girls squeal. They both have a kind female lead whom all the cute boys are drawn to. Basically, if you finish one and want more shoujo/reverse harem, try the other. I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

kilala0princess says...

Both animes have a girl who is trying hard in the Music buisness and in both it is in a "music school". I strongly recommened the other one if you liked the other! :)

snivets says...

Two reverse harems featuring plenty of bishounen in the eye candy department, both UtaPri and La Corda D'Oro are also set at music schools & have plain lead female MCs. It's safe to say that if you enjoyed one show, you'd probably enjoy the other.

geisha says...

Both are reverse harems that focuses om the musical skills of their characters and their relationships to each other. They were both also adapted from otome games.

yamamotochigusa says...

Both animes are based off of an otome game. They are reverse harem animes with a music theme. The only difference is LCDO has another female character in a music group while a UtaPri doesn't. Some of the characters are pretty similar in personality and background. Kazuki Hihara is similar to Otoya, Len is like Tokiya, and Azuma Yunoki has Masato's family life, Ren's flirty personality aling with playing a woodwind instrument, and Natsuki's personality (you'll see). Keiichi and Syo are both blonde hair, blue eyed, shotas who play a stringed instrument. Ryoutarou Tsuchiura is similar to Masato because they both are pianists and have some sort of rivalry with a welathy musician in a different class(Class A for Masato with Ren in Class S and General Branch for Tsuchira with Len in the Music Branch). 

ItsTenshi says...

Definetely there is a similarity between the two anime.  The unanswered couple idea is also the case.  You will either love it or hate it for that reason.

LaPhoenixNegra says...

Same genre basically same plot with its own unique aspects. Main difference is classical vs pop

wolfangel87 says...

La Corda D'Oro and Yumeiro Patissiere have a strong message of not giving up trying to succeed in your own personal goal.  To this this both of the main heroines of the stories are helped by little fairies pushing them on and encouraging them to practice so that they can get better at want they want to do to accomplish their goals in life.  Both series have a similar sense of purpose La Corda happens to revolve around music while Yumeiro is about sweets; each wonderful in their own special way!

blueangel06661 says...

Both series features a main protagonist girl who attends an elite school in some fashion. Not only are Ichigo and Hino complete beginners in the elite systems they both have an academy born legend who takes the form of a fairy to help them through their troubles. Both girls strive to eventually be a patissiere or violinist with their own strength. 

snivets says...

An elite/private school with focus on a specialty (music, dessert making)? Check. Main female character with "latent" talent and special fairy helper(s)? Check. Reverse harem shoujo and plenty of bangs? Check. There are lots of similarities here that can entertain fans of either show.

Brightstone says...

Both of these animes have faries in them, the only thing that is definitely different is that ones about music and the other food. Of corse there are a lot of guys around the girl, and they all get feelings for her.

singularity says...

These animes are both about a personal journey to become good at something. In La Corda D'Oro, a fairy grants Hino Kahoko a magic violin that plays the music in her heart. As time goes by, she come to love the violin and learns to play it of her own volition. In Hikaru No Go, Hikaru is visited by the ghost of a master of go and learns to play the game by watching before taking an interest and beginning his own journey toward the hand of god.

Both of these animes are about self-improvement and the impact a person's passions can have on others.

taptothebeat says...

though very different in subject matter, as well as the subject of romance-

both are of kids who find a spirit. In addition the spirit wants the kid to use a talent the kid does not have for the spirits own satisfaction. And both result in the kid wanting to pursue the talent.

 

For Hikaru no Go this talent is Go.

For La Corda D'Oro the talent is the violin

animegirl93 says...

Hitohira and La Corda have a similar story, because the main characters accomplish something they would call impossible. Enjoy! :)

wolfangel87 says...

Both series revolve around high school students with special abilities. Mugi Asai (Hitohira) has an amazing voice but a fear of speaking in public, while Hino Kahoko (La Corda D'Oro ~primo passo~) has not yet realized her hidden talent for playing the violin. Both series are serious in nature but have a sense of lightness about them too.

littlekitty says...

La Corda D'Oro and Peach Girl both fall under the category of "reverse harem," where one girl gets close to a few boys who all fall in love with her. The boys in both of these series also have really cute personalities.

wolfangel87 says...

Each deals with issues in high school and the attitudes that are faced. There are trials and tribulations that everyone has to go through - facing that daunting situation known as high school. Hino (La Corda) has to prove her skill at playing the violin and Momo (Peach Girl) has to put up with a skimming Sae. Both series are artfully-animated with exceptional plot detail.

Valore says...

both of these anime center around a girl who with the use of magic discover a world neither knew about. It follows the road they both take as they discover about themselves and those around them as they strive to reach their goals. It also follows the relationships and bond they forge with the people around them and the support they gain from those people to keep going even when things get bad.

animegal33 says...

These are both series that revolve around music. Full Moon is more pop music where as La Corda D'Oro is classical. They both use magic given to them by others to make music. The main characters are both girls who make friends with those around them.

fallentenshi says...

I think that both of the heroine are very similar. They are at most the only one who can see the fairy. And both are shoujo with similiar art works. I think if you like Earl and Fairy you'll love the love triangle that La Corda D'Oro has.

Annalyn says...

Fairy? Check! Multiple bishounen? Check! Both La Corda D'Oro and Earl and Fairy appear at first glance to be simple children's tales, but they prove to be much more than that. La Corda D'Oro has much less of the fantasy adventure element to it than Earl and Fairy, but the general feel is the same. Both anime have the all important charming gentlemen and fairy enchantments. If you like one, you're bound to like the other - I sure did.

singularity says...

Both of these animes feature a female character that changes the lives of male characters around her through her own example and personality. These animes are also about potential romance that will set your heart fluttering, but never quite resolve it.

lehop2 says...

In both anime theres a strong female character who isn't afraid to learn more about others and be friendly. They both have a somewhat bittersweet feeling that wretches your heart just a little but they also both contain those loving moments that shine.
