Myself; Yourself - Recommendations

wolfangel87 says...

There are harrowing occurrences in each Myself; Yourself and H2O with the same type of set up of a light comedy in the beginning followed by a sudden twist of fate revealing the tragic past of a main character.

shanachan says...

Both guys get in a new place. They get to know everyone yet they get interested in just one girl because that girl is always "angry" (both blue-haired XD). I liked both, yet Myself; Yourself, a lot more.

Worosei says...

Both are about the male lead entering a 'new' place that he has some tie to and how he establishes himself in town.

Each character have their own internal problems, and each series become decidely darker towards the end, with a bizare emotional roller coaster where you want to laugh, strangle some characters, feel for others, puzzle over plot changes, but find both a decent watch.

The female leads also are similar; they have a cold demenour yet are apparently very cabable. It comes down to the male lead to help wean the female out of her shell.

Merryberry says...

With the arrival of a new person into the village and the subsequent ripples they send out, affecting not only their friends but everyone else, is just one of the many, many similiarities that these series share. The rescuing of an individual from their somewhat bleak situation is another theme common to both. It would seem that thse two anime are so similiar that actually you might as well watch both at once since you'd enjoy them equally the same!

fizrox says...

We met here with copule of friends - each of them having dark past and difficult problems that they cannot solve ont heir own. Those two anime are both about changing one's lifes with friends' help and dealing with unwanted feelings or psychological issues.

xkub4 says...

There is really stron conjunction between those two animes. You can find drama thread in Myself and Footprints. Main characters - male and female have been sorely reached by tragedy. There is also romance between male and female main characters in both.

I think that you'll like Myself if you enioyed h2o, and you'll also like h2o, if you liked myself.

Pendevous says...

Between these two animes, the most obvious one that we can see is a guy struggling to get used to his new society. Moreover, both presents light comedy and a touch of angst, as well as heavy drama as the series progresses on.

The ending of both animes are also just perfect.

ciller says...

The same kind of drama, the same kind of romance and the same kind of angry blue-haired girl. That is the connection between Myself; and H2O. Both of them are very slice of life even if H2O has miracles in it, it's still not very important to the story. When I watched the first episode of H2O it immediately reminded me of Myself; this is als because the drawing style is quite the same.

Well if think you should just watch it because the rest is not very explainable so just watch it. And you just can watch it because you always will love the other one if you loved one of them.

jypsel says...

Myself; Yourself and H20:Footprints in the Sand are both harem animes that move in nearly the same pacing.  They bring a psychological twist to the genre and leave the viewer shocked.  If you liked one, I highly suggest you check out the other.

Bramblestar says...

Both have a melancholy feel and a few key plot twists. If you liked the progression of the story in one, you'll like the other.

Am3n says...

It is realy great anime. Both have similar story line. But i think Myself;yourself is better in story line.

Archmage says...

Both these (in my opinion) great animes share many (though small) touches that give them the same kind of atmosphere; on one hand you have in "Myself; Yourself" Nanaka who is quite cold to the main character Sana, on a similar note in "H2O ~footprints in the sand~" you have Hayami who also gives our main charatic a rejecting attitude.

This is also followed by the secondary characters in both, where they don't really interact (H2O, yes they do interact but not in a friendly manner, not in the way I’m referring to) and are very separate but the main character will not have this outrage and tries to bring everyone together.

Insanity ensues, good day Sir… or Madam.

Kai777 says...

The plot is similar, it is scary. I liked the ending of both the animes. I liked Myself Youself better because of the voilin song.

TheRealGabe says...

Of how the story played out in both. Problems, endings, and some characters acted the same. This is why if you liked one of them you would like the other.

crash9661 says...

Myself;Yourself and School Days both have, lies, deceit, blood, and secrets. So much happens in these series that you are left wanting more. The overly happy mood in the early episodes of each series really does foreshadow the darker things to come. Will the anime end with your favorite lead character dead or alive?

vick01 says...

Both of the series story lines revolve around the characters having serious problems and secrets. Both of the series have a more mature theme to them and contains blood in the series. However, both of the series are done in a way where you get attached to the characters and get you get sucked into the story lines. both of theses series will leave you wanting more when the conclude, you will enjoy one if you liked the other.

Sheex says...

Myself; Yourself de-emphasizes the romantic focus present in School Days, but still manages to touch upon similar themes. Each presents an apparantly innocent, sugar-coated view of youth, but follows shortly with a dark, sinister breakdown of these ideas as nothing more than fantasy. With both packed full of bleak, ominous drama, if you watch and enjoy one be sure to check out the other.

caitlin says...

Both Myself; Yourself and School Days begin with a light hearted, pleasant feel, giving the impression that it is going to be a sweet, romantic view on the 'springtime of youth', but that image begins to deteriorate as both begin to focus more on the darker side of human interactions, and growing up. Both anime feature lies, secrets, and themes such as murder and suicide, making both a deceptive, dark watch, in the end. If you enjoyed one you will surely enjoy the other!

risuta says...

Both School Days and Myself; Yourself, are anime about school life, relationships, tragedy and life in general. They both are a lot deeper then they seem, and go much further than the "everything blooms" stereotype that we often see in simillar anime. If you liked one of them, I defenitely suggest you watch the other one, too.

wolfangel87 says...

I think that School Days and Myself; Yourself had similar animation styles with some of the characters being similar in personality, although School Days is a much darker anime than Myself; Yourself. They also share a sense of secretism throughout. It is very easy to get wrapped up in the main characters lives and the sense of reality in each series.

bobjoe says...

Although the ways in which the characters deal with their situations is very different between these two anime, the themes are still very much the same. In each, the main character must deal with a love triangle situation, while much darker adult themes simmer in the background, eventually boiling over and being exposed.

Omurqi says...

While the themes of Myself; Yourself and School Days aren't 1:1 copies of each other, both series take a shift from innocent to messed up at some point. School Days certainly has more shock value, and Myself; Yourself more touching drama, but both treat subjects that are often avoided by other shows. If you enjoyed the style of storytelling in one of these shows, give the other one a shot!

eaper says...

Both of these series start off, more or less, as the average school love story, but do a decent job adding a sense of what would probably have to be called crazy into some of the main heroines. This sets them apart from most of the other series in this genre.

triplestrike says...

School Days and Myself; Yourself have very different protagonists but the actions and deeper subject matter that gets revealed is prevelant in both.

fizrox says...

In both series there is a boy returning to his old friends and finding himself not knowing the whole truth about them. These anime are both about trying to rescue the loved one from danger waiting for her.

MariJine says...

Returning to a town you once knew and meeting your childhood friends is the predominant theme in both Kanon and Myself, Yourself. Viewers follow the daily lives of Yuichi and Sana respectively as they unlock their own memories of the past as well as those of others around them. Filled with mystery, suspense, tragedy, humour and realistic situations, both anime are highly recommended!

eaper says...

Each of these series have some love stories going on, but do a good job adding something different from what the standard of this genre usually entails.

Omurqi says...

Kanon (2006) and Myself; Yourself are both romance / drama anime that, instead of just focussing on the main couple, spends the majority of the time looking into the problems of side characters. If you liked how the different mini-stories got wrapped up in one of these shows, you will most likely enjoy them in the other as well.

ali3n says...

In both series, Kanon and Myself; Yourself, memories of the past guides main character back to the place from his childhood, where he once again meets his friends. Unfortunately, those memories aren't complete, and that's the problem he is trying to solve during the story. Step by step, with help from friends, he discovers new things about his and others past. If you enjoyed one of those series and if you really like mixed romance and drama plot, I would recommend you watching the other one too.

VergelAnimeFan says...

Both Myself; Yourself and Kanin share the same theme of someone who lived in a town who had to leave for some years comes back to the town once again. They also get reaquainted with other people.  They also have teenage characters. Both have food graphics and good episodes.

dBo0ii says...

Both stories, follows a protagonist that is returning to a town from their past where friends wait for them. Both stories involve romance with one of the friends from the past.

jimstr says...

Both animes start off with the main protagnist returning to their childhood and meet old friends as well as meeting new people. The people the protagnist meets; all have underlying emotions and secrets that are below the surface and they all seem to root from the past. In addition the main characters constantly reflect on their past childhood in order to solve the problems in the present.

Both have good comedic relief and also have intense emotional moments that help drive the story forward.

BaaKaSenpi191 says...

Myself;yourfels is a drama.From the begining is goes very well but it totally F**k up the end. that guy go F**k all his friends(girl) but sadly he die cuz his wife killed him but his girlfriend angry about her best firend is take her boyfriend away from her but that guy wife die after him which is his grilfriend kill it. this story tell me; do not go F**K too many girl.

YuiYui says...

To start both these involve a main character who moves away from his younger childhood friends but at the start returns to the drama. Then both anime lean towards getting through most of the main characters backstory's and the drama. They also leave the female protagnist until the last arc. The both are emotional and have quite a bit of detail in the characters backstory. There are drama and romance elements in both and if you liked one you should enjoy the other.

wolfangel87 says...

Myself; Yourself and Clannad are both school romances. Myself; Yourself is more dramatic and darker than Clannad, although they both have similar types of character personalities. Clannad is more on the supernatural side of a student life whereas Myself; Yourself has a more realistic feeling to it with very in depth emotional problems having to be faced by the main characters. Even though Myself; Yourself seems like a lighthearted mini drama, there are heavy issues expressed.

fizrox says...

In both anime there is some secret, which everyone are partly aware of but no one would ever speak of. Through the series, we follow main characters changing and getting closer to the answers they long to dicover. Both Myself; Yourself and Clannad are about high schoolers' every-day life filled with really hard problems and emotional issues.

Asraz says...

in myself yourself and clannad there are a lot of comedy factors a high school life with 5-6 people they both gradually becomes more and more dramatic romance factor applies both of them so if you like clannad or myself yourself you should try the other you wont regret it at all

Omurqi says...

If you liked how Myself; Yourself told its story through a group of friends, and the way they dealt with each characters problems, I'd really recommend you give Clannad a try. It contains actual comedy (instead of a failed attempt at such, yes Aoi-san, I'm looking at you), good character progression and better drama. To top it off, Clannad also has a great second season full of good drama in which the romance between the main characters is fleshed out a lot better than in Myself; Yourself.

eaper says...

If you liked the love story in Myself; Yourself, but want a story that is less depressing, then Clannad would be a good way to go.

YuiYui says...

Myself; Yourself and Clannad are both around the school life of a group of teenagers and involve the dramas of getting through everyday however I do admit that the backstories in Myself; Yourself are much darker than Clannad. They are both quite lighthearted and slow in some areas where drama has been thrown. If you liked Myself; Yourself then you should enjoy Clannad and vise versa.

astraeadelta says...

Both are good anime. And the lesson taught is good. It is really fun to watch. Can't say anymore. But do watch it. -----------------------------------

muxmer says...

Similar in various ways, but way different in some other spots. It is way darker than clannad, as other people say, but something didn't quite feel right to me.. i mean, i would prefer to see a bit of the relationship between the couple.. mixed feelings. It is worth watching but not as awesome as it could be in my opinion.

Worosei says...

Both originally aired around the same time. They are darker romances with characters having a much grimmer backdrop/personality than other visual-novel cum anime characters. They explore multiple relationships and difficulties that arises whilst including the theme of memories. Both, however, ends on a postive note.

Merryberry says...

While the stories explore two differing concepts, the general relationship between these two series are similiar and makes it possible for you to enjoy both of them. The relationship seen between the characters are key to opening up the connection between them and both do this in a way that is both easy to view and enjoyable. Well worth watching.

fizrox says...

We all have all sorts of problems, some tougher then others. But not always can we find the person able to help us, sometimes we simply don't want to. Here are two stories that carry heavy emotional aura, but give hope as well. In these manner, they are the same, so if this is what you have been looking for, don't hestitate.

LLORAtheLLAMA says...

Both of these series focus on characters and their relationships. They have drama, comedy, and romance in both; though ef - a tale of memories is a big step up from Myself; Yourself.

If you've seen ef and want to bring the dial down, Myself; Yourself is a good show to watch.

stingreis says...

Both of these anime's have a lot of romance in them, and are very dark, and deep. They are full of sadness, and heartache, yet have a moving storyline. If you like either of these anime's then you are sure to like the other.

eaper says...

Each of these series follow lead females with extremely spotted pasts, in each case one of which have some sort of memory loss (although it is much more series in ef's part).

sacostageneral says...

Both of them have a dark story arround th echaracters, that unveils slowly and is just completely revealed in the end. Another parallel between them is that in both, some of the characters must face great challenges (and also confront the people arround them) in order to consolidate their love relationships. In both situations two of the characters face a mental condition that hinders their love relationship.

fizrox says...

Those two anime show boy who helps girl to overcome her emotional problems and tries to resue her from tough situation. Both series are peaceful, with days of pure joy and indescriable sadness. If you liked one, you will definetely enjoy another.

stingreis says...

Air is slow paced, and akward, whereas Myself; yourself has a lot going on in it. Still they are both based on a strange romance and have a bunch of random sadness and sorrow that the characters struggle with.

eaper says...

These series each have a rather slow start, having a completely different story after the first few episodes. Also, the lead male and female in each have a similar relationship, with the male attempting to help fix a major emotional type problem experienced by the female.

Omurqi says...

Both Air and Myself; Yourself are romance / drama anime where for a long while the romance takes a backseat, and the story lays the focus in solving the problems of multiple side-characters. If you liked this multi-"route" approach in one, you'll enjoy seeing the same in the other.

jypsel says...

Myself; Yourself and AIR are both atypical harem anime's.  Both animes have a slow, melancholic feel to them that leaves the fewer full of nostalgia during the anime and satisfied in the end.  They have a slow pace and are character-centered anime's.  If you liked one, you're bound to like the other.

YuiYui says...

Both of these anime are quite slow and are based around the idea of most of the characters involved have a drama tragic life. Both the main male characters ends up trying to help them out in their problems, some arcs quicker than others. Plus the elements of drama and romance are quite clear. So if you liked one the other would be good for you.

fizrox says...

What those two share in common is the girl who has deep emotional problems and boy who loves her and tries to help. Both anime are set in high school within group of good childhood friends.

ZetaAspect says...

Both True Tears and Myself; Yourself are romantic dramas (at their core) that prominently feature a childhood friend who is now cold to the male lead as a result of circumstances.  However, Myself; Yourself does not generate its drama with a love triangle, unlike True Tears.  Its drama is less relationship-driven and more plot-driven.  Also, Myself; Yourself has elements of a romantic comedy and sports a fair amount of fanservice towards the beginning of the show.

Drasticc says...

Like most love polygons, Myself; Yourself shows and reflects the sadder side the Romance Genre.  The main characters and sub characters interactions are quite similar to ToraDora! as well as True Tears.  Especially if your looking for that school life drama.

cahbayb says...

Both animes characters face some kind of personal troubles and romance as well. I like Myself; Yourself more but they both have many similarities.

wolfangel87 says...

The realistic high school setting of Myself; Yourself and True Tears emphasizes with the main characters facing many trials and tribulations trying to find the path that fits them the best and become the person that they wanted to be.

FireFistLuffy says...

They both have simple yet witty entertainment, along with characters the have suffered a harshed pass making them into what they are today. As they struggle together to help each other out with the problems that face them. Both have very similar excellent endings. Story wise they are almost one in the same, of course completely different worlds set them apart.

Sacred says...

If you liked Myself; Yourself, you really should watch Angel Beats. A lot of drama's and tear bringing stuff.

YuiYui says...

They both have drama and slight romance elements. And both to some extend are set in a school of some sort. The majority of the characters we hear about in both have tragic stories on how they suffer and eventually the main character goes through the characters and the audience learns more about them characters. (However not all the characters). So I recommend if you like drama and slight romance and you liked one of these anime, the other is quite similar.

MiSuZu says...

With the same line of story, Kanon is a story about a boy who 7 years ago lived with a familiar. When he came back he didn't remember anything at all. This anime as Myself; Yourself will give you the pleasure of childhood memories, good characters with good stories and a different background for any of them. Is related to the kind of anime that Myself; Yourself is, but it has a good-flavor twist that will leave you satisfied.

wolfangel87 says...

Myself; Yourself and Kanon involve a guy coming back after a long absence and having to connect again with the people he once left behind. Although Myself; Yourself presents itself in a more realistic situation whereas Kanon is full of fantasy, both have the same sort of message in the end.

AnimeBoi says...

Both animes deall with the struggle of love due to the promises made in the past. Characters for both series are very loveable and the comedy displayed throughout the series are well placed. The love stories for both series will have u HOOKED!!

stingreis says...

Love hina is a little more comedic with a bunch of ecchi, but both deal with a romantic struggle, whereas Myself;Yourself has a little more tragedy and a deep, dark nature. Still they are both full of romantic connotations that have unresolved issues and the main character is a boy who made a promise to a girl and then was parted with her. Then after all that they go through numerous situations that are an attempt to resolve some inconsitencies in the relationship
