RELATED ANIMES
COMMENTS FOR HYOUKA
Well, there's no doubt that the main male protagonist seems anti social and aloof with situations most of the time by the way he behaves. It's not until one day that they decide to join this club where he meets new people and forms interactions with them.
In a nutshell, both series features a high school life setting but among other factors, the clubs they join has a main female protagonist who is cute/pretty but often dominant in terms of her character.
Additionally, both series' clubs often gets involved with other people/events that results in drama. The main male protagonist are often reluctant to get involved. There seems to be hints of romance between the main male and female character as well. The overall tone of both series seems to be lighthearted with a fun sense of school life.
They just are incredibly intriguing and similar series. Both involve rather unorthodox main characters who would love nothing better than to spend their high school lives lazing about, going about their days in peace, when they are forced into rather unorthodox clubs: the Classics Club and the Volunteers Club, which becomes a catalyst for their "adventures" and development.
Both feature fantastic writing and intriguing dialogue and are definitely worth looking into.
Each anime contains a male lead that avoids relationships with others because he doesn't think it's worth the effort. Through avoidance and observation, these main characters have developed a skill set for reading others and are forced to use that quality when a big sister esque character convinces them to join a club centered on helping people. While in this club, they develop friendships and love interests while also slowly changing their bleak outlook on life.

COMMENTS FOR HAGANAI: I DON'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS
'Teen Romantic Comedy Gone Wrong', or whatever typically long-winded light novel jibberish 'Yahari Ore' translates into shows all the signs of being Boku Friendship DONE RIGHT. As another user noted with their recommendation, Boku Friendship gradually turns into something of a full-on ecchi harem fest. Unlike Yahari, Boku wa started out as purely lighthearted rom-com fluff--causing later developments that expand on previously 1D comic relief characters to be awkward & its lead's turn towards a more... emo stance coming across unnaturally. Yahari one-upped this by presenting its characters as humans with relatable social difficulties from the get-go whilst still retaining sharp, witty dialogue.
Instead of, say, a blonde Japanese guy everyone assumes is a thug without talking to him & a blonde American-tit'd #1 school idol that refers to herself as a Goddess and has men kneeling before her at will, Yahari presents a dysfunctional lead trio, consisting of: a misanthrope lead pushed away from social contact by rejection, a beautiful girl well aware that her physical beauty causes others problems & an average 'TRYING TO FIT IN' girl--her attempts to climb the social ladder being illustrated nicely in ep2.
While it's true that Yahari still leans more on the side of fantasy than reality with its 1x loner guy x2 beautiful girls in an empty club premise, the set-up/presentation/illustration of social woes is executed much better than in most other similar works. Paint me impressed!
There's a school club whose members mostly consist of the school's socially awkward, and whose secret mission in both is to simply make more friends. Both anime are presented simply, but have deep undertones that need a bit of looking into to appreciate. Also, the main character in both anime has two main companions: The popular air head beauty who really doesn't need to make any more friends than she already has, and the quiet but also equally beautiful girl that sports a more serious demeanor.

COMMENTS FOR CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE
These two anime are very similar in their basic structure; both feature an indifferent main character who get involved in various situations and are forced to use their keen intellect to solve them, only to pass the credit for doing so onto others. While originally opposed to social interaction, they grow closer to their classmates only to find out that there is more to them than what meets the eye. As they continue to pull strings from the shadows, they eventually find their motivations challenged, and become forced to make a decision about how to confront others about themselves.
When I first started watching this anime I immediately thought of Oregairu. They are both pretty similar to each other in terms on their school setting and main characters.
Hachiman and Ayanokouji are both loners, observant, and they have that pessimistic vibe.
Yukinoshita and Horikita aren't quite loners, but they're definitely anti-social and intelligent.
Yui and Kikyou want to be friends with everyone, but they have some differences.
Youkoso and Oregairu are definetly similar, and if you like either of them you'll probably enjoy the other.

COMMENTS FOR BAKEMONOGATARI
Both have the same witty banter thrown back and forth, ice queen female mc's.
Different in other fronts; might even be the polar opposite. Araragi is the white knight while Hikigaya is the dark knight, an interesting parallel. Like Supes and Bats. Truer in more ways than one.
Also, Bakemonogatari is the archetypical example of style over substance with slight surrealism while Oregairu is in some ways a deconstruction/parody of highschool harem anime and simultaneously tries to provide insight into social pyramids/hierarchies using HS as a medium.
IMO, Oregairu is much more layered and worth rewatching more than once to catch subtle nuances in character interactions, motivations and the subliminal mocking of cliches of the genre making it a more satisfying experience in the long run, but Bakemonogatari's genius direction is equally endearing and much more visceral.

COMMENTS FOR WATAMOTE: NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, IT'S YOU GUYS' FAULT I'M UNPOPULAR!
Both have awesome social outcast main characters that places the main characters into almost realistic social situations, and both definitely have that feeling where you can relate to the main characters too.
The only difference is that Yahari Ore no Seishun focuses a little bit more on the drama genre than the comedy, and that it actually has some subtle romance on it. And Watamote focuses more on the dark comedy aspect around Tomoko and her attempts on being popular. (Even though she DEFINETElY has the looks for it...sorry.)
COMMENTS FOR TORADORA!
Oregairu feels similar to Toradora!. The first point is that both male main characters (Ryuuji Takasu in Toradora! and Hachiman Hikigaya in Oregairu) have those "hostile eyes" which makes people think that they are criminal; which they aren't. Both of them are insecure and gets some kind of "help" with their social problems. Second point is the atmosphere, which feels similar, in a way, and both takes place in school. Third point is the kind of characters in both shows, which I think all could be in either show, because the way the act and talk is similar. The art is also something that they have in common. Many similarities!
COMMENTS FOR ORESHURA
In essence, both series takes place at a school life like setting. However, the main male protagonist gets caught up with a female protagonist who seems to have a strong independent personality.
The main male protagonist from both series are also considered anti social and rejects the idea of love. Similarly, the main female protagonist comes off as a cold beauty.
Both series also involves a club at school. This club consists of the two main characters as members although with different objectives.
The series also makes usages of comedy with humor through dialogues and interactions.
COMMENTS FOR RELIFE
Both main characters are NEETs, similarly both suffer from flaws which they
are trying to address. In Snafu, Hiki is able to indentify those flaws through the service club
by helping out other students. Similarly in Relife, Arata is able to address those flaws by helping out students in Aoba. You would be surprised how similar they are.

COMMENTS FOR THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA
Both shows feature male leads that are realistic (or pessimistic) narrators. While Hachiman's outlook tends to focus on the dark-side of individuals and society, Kyon in Melancholy carries only a sarcastic and cynical tone in his narration. Both leads are dropped into after-school clubs against their will, filled with interesting characters. Kyon deals with an energetic, enigmatic female lead whose antics often place its club members in trouble. Hachiman on the other hand, works with an ice-queen club leader and carries significantly less pull than Kyon. The similarities of the male leads and the environments each is placed makes these shows easy to compare, even if the themes are dramatically different.

COMMENTS FOR THE PET GIRL OF SAKURASOU
In both series, there is a theme of "special" club, who don't fully match. The characters are quite unique character and similar like: for example, Yui <-> Aoyama, Yukino <-> Mashiro. The main male characters are different, because Hachiman is quite specific view of the world, than Sorata. The titles are based on the ties between the characters and everyday life as well as in the two series were captured social problems. In both series is a little comedy and romance.

COMMENTS FOR MASAMUNE-KUN'S REVENGE
These two anime has the same vibe, and it's freaking me out...
Here's the similarity:
- The Main Characters have dramatic pasts (Both involves love confessions and rejections) and because of that, they became very self centered and plans everything around them to fall into ashes.
- The main heroines are both known to be beautiful and they have the same personality: They have attitude, they are adorable at times and is calm at most times.
- Both main characters have a trap friend they always hang out with.
- It's in a school setting (Obviously)
- They are both looking at a different perspective of the high school world. (It's not the same perspective, but they have both an original and refreshing perspective, which makes them similar.)

COMMENTS FOR WELCOME TO THE N.H.K.
In both series, the main male protagonist is considered a loner with little to no friends as well as having a stoic outlook on life in general. However, one day he meets a strange girl and they form a rather peculiar relationship.
NHK takes more place in a home environment while Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. takes more spaces at home.
Both series makes great usage of various dialogues that are memorable and insightful to watch. There's also comedy that makes fun of various every day life situations. There is also implied romance throughout both series although NHK takes more of a psychological theme while SNAFU is lighthearted.

COMMENTS FOR NISEKOI: FALSE LOVE
-Starts off with a guy and a girl who appear to clash at first
-In Nisekoi you have Raku being forced into a (fake) relationship with Chitoge whereas in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU you have Hachiman being forced into the same club as Yukino (the only member of the club)
-The at first clashing relationship develops as time progresses
-They give off a similar overall feeling while watching the show
-One Guy, Multiple Girls, however this is less prevalent in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU than it is in Nisekoi. Nisekoi is considered a Harem due to the amount of girls in the show that are around Raku, however My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU does not receive this label as there are only two main girls around Hachiman

COMMENTS FOR THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS
Both series' male protagonists are class outcasts but due to certain circumstances, they must interact with those around them, often helping characters in their time of need. They are also intelligent & methodical thinkers, are often rather cold towards others, and prefer to remain in their own worlds. As a result, they can often be subjected to being mocked by other characters.
The shows are full of comedic gags and often parody the romance genre with the female protagonists behaving in ways completely different from what the male protagonists expect. Although there are romantic moments, they can often lead to comedic moments. All the male protagonist wants is to go back to leading his outcast life peacefully!

COMMENTS FOR SKET DANCE
In both series, they take place at a local high school setting. But more importantly, there is a club where friends gather and conduct daily activities.
The main male protagonist in both series are not similar but they do have a way to present their thoughts to others in a not so typical fashion. On the other hand, the main female MC in both series are independent and has a cool aura around them.
Both series also has a lot of comedy, drama, catchy dialogues, and hints of a little romance between two of the main characters.
