15 [Similar Anime] Like Blue Spring Ride

Both shows deal with the issues of friendship, depression, self-isolation and grief. To be more specific, both stories feature a main male character who has a very sorrowful past. Their friends are trying to be helpful and supportive. The female MC is in both cases the love interest. The difference is that Ao Haru Ride is more focused on the romantic aspect while Orange gives more weight to the healing process, and as such it's more dramatic. Both are totally awesome.

Ao Haru Ride and Orange are very similar in certain ways. First, the art does not differ too much in Orange when compared to Ao Haru Ride as it is supposed to create a warm and friendly like atmosphere as both of these animes contain elements of the shoujo genre. Both animes also involve a group of friends which surround the main characters of both series and they participate somewhat on the action. However, as far as I can tell in Orange, the group which Kakeru, the main character of Orange is with is bigger than the group of friends in Ao Haru Ride, therefore their roles in Orange are rather small. In both of these animes, the main characters face tough situations which transform how others look at the main character and judge their personality. Also, the main characters of both series have girlfriends which are the other protagonists of the animes.

Anime dealing with friendship and romance. Main female from both anime pretends to be someone they are not. They make friends with the wrong people. The main love interest shows her the truth. The main guy in one series is calm, cool, and straight forward. The other is a sadist. The relationship in both anime start off rocky but as they get to know one another, fall madly in love with each other.

Produced by Production I.G., Kimi ni Todoke and Ao Haru Ride are romantic comedies of classics. The main male protagonist have different personalities but grows closer to the main female character throughout both series. It's also obvious the type of feelings the girl has on him although their relationship tends to be awkward at times. Among other factors, there are misunderstandings, rivals, and challenges that sometimes hinders their relationship. Expect comedy, drama, and romance. I recommend both series for anyone interested in a classic shoujo.

Lighthearted romantic comedies. Tonari-no Kaibutsu-kun and Ao Haru Ride explores the relationship of two main characters with contrasting personalities. The main male protagonist from both series has similar personalities and often plays practical jokes on others. Their relationship with the main female protagonist develops through circumstances. Their perspective stories also include other characters that raise drama and misunderstandings. I recommend both series for anyone seeking a romantic comedy with a lighthearted atmosphere.

Both anime have this school romance thing going on, with a cute guy and a "complicated" girl who keep pushing the guy away.

This is similar to Ao Haru Ride because I think they are both more on the drama side. Well, Bokura ga Ita is way more dramatic if that's something you're looking for. Absolutely, love this one because, guess what? Another squeal worthy anime! Woo hoo! So, of course the girl likes the popular guy, but come onnn it gets better. There is so much drama in this and I mean like so many twists and turns and things you won't be expecting. This honestly made me cry at the end, like no spoilers, but uh.. not a happy ending. But I mean I feel like nobody knows how to end shows these days. Haha! More like never. You can't always have happy endings though, I guess. :( Bokura ga Ita is also just super cute, I love the relationships in this. Totally worth a watch. :)

Male MC's have the same feel laid back and to themselves very smart and attractive to are Main Female character. Both Female MC's are more of a outcast not to bright but have like able qualities as the story progresses.

they are both love stories about two young people falling in love. they have different forms of love but it is still love. they are both AMAZING animes about love and if you need an OTP these are good animes to find some.

Both stories are themed about first love. The romantic vibe is the same as one another. Both MCs liked one another.

Even if one is a Shoujo and the other is sort of like a Seinen, the two share many similarities. They both revolve around troubled teenagers and their difficulty making friends. They both tap into questioning how they should deal with their social lives. To sacrifice their own values just to make friends or not? To be honest to themselves and other people or to sacrifice that just to avoid being excluded from the group? Yahari goes a little deeper though. The male main characters are also both very pessimistic. The upbeat female main characters are also both..well..upbeat.

Futaba(Ao Haru Ride) & Sorata(Sakurasou) is same.
Both character want to become better person in future without being burdened by the past or present.
This topic become main theme in Sakurasou but not in Ao Haru Ride.

Different premises but both series adapts a shoujo manga involving lives of two main characters. They get off to a rocky start in the beginning but their relationship gradually develops over time. Love triangle should be expected along with other characters that gets involved in the story that affects their relationship. Both series has a lighthearted mood although there are moments when emotions takes hold. Recommended for fans of rom-com.

Both animes have romance in it and they are also past on school years.
"Ore Monogatari" has more comedy but they are both really enjoyable, and they have a good animation wich is a thing that I think is really important when it comes to enjoy the anime even more.
The story´s are diferent and I would say that "Ao Haru Ride" has a more complex story since it´s also tagged with the genre slice of life and "Ore Monogatari" is not.
The main male character of "Ao Haru Ride" gives you the same kind of feeling that male main Makoto Sunakawa from "Ore Monogatari" gives to you.

I just found the general atmosphere of these two anime similar, not to mention both are very deep and thought-out high school setting anime. These two anime don't share that much similarities, despte both being romance anime set in high school, but I think that if you have watched Ao Haru Ride you will also enjoy ToraDora!

If u loved Kamisama Hajimemashita, u will LOVE Ao Haru Ride ; and vice versa--
