No doubting that these two animes give the same vibe as 'Dating to save the world' is the main shared plot. Although Kami Nomi should contain more "intelligent" scoring, the comedy has never escaped any of these shows.

The idea of a game like scenario where the main protagonist must win the hearts of female characters is a theme present in both series.

The main male protagonist isn't very popular with girls though but still is assigned to the task after a faithful day. He also has a "sister" around him that guides him through these tasks.

Both series consists of 'arcs' that focuses on a specific characters for the main character to unlock the hearts of. However, they each contain obstacles. Among other things, both series has a lot of comedy, drama, and takes place @ at a high school setting.

The male leads are coerced into making various girls fall in love with them, in order to "save humanity". The main males have to set flags with each heroine, and make her fall for him to the point that they kiss. The difference lies in that in Kami nomi the heroine would forget everything that happened after the kiss, while in Date A Live the girls remember everything.

'Save the world, date these girls!' is what these two animes are screaming. One is more based on action, while the other one is more based on romance. While Itsuka Shidou dates the girls to save the world and stop spacequakes, Keima dates the girls to stop himself from being beheaded by the collar on his neck. Both animes have a similar feel as well, though the anime version of Date A Live goes more in detail in terms of story than Kami nomi does.

They are similar by the fact that both animes have a main male protagonist who was suddenly involved with a girl who has forced them into trying to make girls fall in love with them.

While in The World God Only Knows, the male protagonist HAS to do it or else his head will be cut off. In TWGOK he has to capture girls to make loose souls get out of that persons body.

In Date A Live it has the same aspect but he has to make girls fall in love with them so he can lock the magic inside the spirit to stop space quakes from happening.  read more

report Recommended by Cozye

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai is one of my favorite shows and probably one of the best masterpieces in anime. Though it's kinda sad since it ended in season three, and it didn't show some of arcs that can be seen in the manga. I'm still not satisfied in the ending, it's a cliffhanger it didn't show what happened to the goddesses after their fight with the weiss. So in order to make myself sane while waiting for a 4th season(hopefully) I searched an anime that's kinda similar to it, and that's when I found Date A Live.

If you are a fan of Kami nomi series I recommend Date A Live because it gives you the same feeling when you're watching the Kami nomi series. Date A Live uses "Spirits" instead of loose souls, but that what makes it quite unique, though they both give disasters to the everyday life of people. Not to mention in Date A Live there are also many cute waifu candidates like Tohka and Kurumi, but don't lewd Yoshino, I swear if u lewd Yoshino I'll call the FBI Immediately to quarantine you in order to be destroyed before you can contaminate anyone with your lolicon taste. *Cough* Even if many people judge Date A Live because of it's slight similarity to Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai but Date A Live has it's own aspect, and even allowed the protagonist to join in fights unlike the protagonist from Kami nomi, it's a zero to hero situation.

In conclusion Date A Live is a perfect show for any unsatisfied Kami nomi fans, and even to anyone who likes the comedy and harem genre. It has cute girls that is acceptable to lewd except one, and has a good plot. You can even see common clichés like secret polygamous dating, walk-in-the-occupied-bathroom, and jealousy everywhere, not to mention some unexpected things that I can't tell to you, just watch the anime or read the light novel, but don't forget, this is just my opinion, everyone has their own taste and we can't criticize them because you think their taste is shit, have a lovely day! 😊😊😊 read more

MC gets dragged from their comfort zone and by the end has their life changed by interaction with others. Only difference is the MC is either an otaku vs delinquent.

Both involve the main character going around a school setting searching for girls who have a tie to the supernatural. In The World God Only Knows, it involves "conquering" girls in order to get the bad presence out of them. In Yamada and the 7 Witches, they are trying to find the witches in the school. Both involve the kissing of the found girls to resolve plot. All in all, I did enjoy both shows and I definitely recommend them.

Instead of simply pointing out similarities, I'll put it in a different way.

Yamada-kun to Nananin no Majo and Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai form a new genre themselves. We're yet to see more like this, but somehow the idea both of them have is appealing. Approaching to the Harem genre in such a distinct way, without having a girl falling in love in each episode because of the MC's generosity, the lead ends up being "forced" to get the girl of the episode. That is, if it's only one episode for that girl. Unfortunately Yamada-kun is apparenty getting only one season(I think) but if you enjoyed Kami Nomi or is enjoying Yamada-kun, there is literally no reason to skip the other. read more

Romantic comedies, with the same 'let's grab dem chicks' rythm to them. Kami nomi requires some effort to get through all of the seasons, while Yamada-kun has a simpler and tighter narrative where everything is pretty much resolved by the end.

Likeable casts with, uh, quite unusual leads. Drama/silliness are balanced well, and both have solid scores to back them up. Good stuff. 

report Recommended by JoePanichelli

Rampant Weaponized Kissing. Any series that has that as a driving plot device is bound to be chock-full of laughs and inevitably confused romancing, especially with a bumbling male MC. Welcome to Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (The World God Only Knows) and Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo (Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches), where virtually every episode features at least one targeted kiss.

In TWGOK, the male protag, Keima, must kiss the girls to free evil spirits bound to their hearts. In Yamada-kun, the male protag, Yamada, must kiss the girls to unravel the mystery of who the "witches" of Suzuku High are (and in the case of Yamada-kun, the kissing is not only weaponized but tactical, too). With each new girl to kiss, us viewers get to witness what it'll take for that kiss to happen, though the focus is slightly different. TWGOK's Keima is uprooted from his 2D-obsessed, bishojo gaming into real-world romancing missions, so the question in TWGOK is mostly /how/ he'll make that kiss happen. Yamada-kun's Yamada happens to be a headstrong delinquent, so it's less of how the kiss will happen and more of /who/ will be kissed, or rather who the witches are and what their powers will be. Our peculiar MCs will have to improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Their first encounters and forays into this weaponized kissing business give them the valuable experience they need to tackle future encounters, but new obstacles show up to thwart the foolproof plans they envision at each turn. 

It's worth noting that both series have exceptionally catchy opening themes. But a word of caution: both openings also showcase the MC's targets. That's less of an issue for TWGOK, but it might get pretty spoilery for Yamada-kun since identifying those people is the central mystery of the whole show. So if you want to keep the heroines a surprise for yourself, don't pay too close attention to the opening sequences' characters and promo art for these series.

TWGOK spreads its material over three seasons, so it's more gradual in its pacing versus the compacted frenzy of Yamada-kun, but both follow the tried-and-true episodic progression of harem rom-coms: a few episodes for setup, then a girl-by-girl showcase of the MC's "targets", and then the final episodes showing the fallout/payoff. In TWGOK, the fallout is mostly weighted towards later seasons, while Yamada-kun wraps up this general arc in its singular season. Both have a highly varied cast of characters including the vibrant waifu-war-cast that these kinds of series are infamous for, though the "targets" of TWGOK are written as satires/caricatures of female anime archetypes. Season 1 of TWGOK mostly goes step-by-step through the different romantic targets with airheaded-sidekick Elsie guiding the 2D-obsessed Keima to his target [3D] girls, moving from girl to girl in mostly self-contained arcs. Yamada-kun also starts out with Yamada and the studious and reserved Shiraishi (his first inadvertent target) as a central team of detectives, but their efforts as part of the Supernatural Studies Club draw in other interested members and the targets (i.e. witches) over time, so we have a growing crew of recurring characters unlike TWGOK's first season (though many characters reemerge in later seasons of TWGOK). This structural difference makes TWGOK a bit easier to follow, where we can focus on one girl at a time, while Yamada-kun's character persistence allows the development of a web of interpersonal relationships. 

It's probably accurate to describe the series as comedies first and romantic shows second, but with all the kissing involved, the tactical romancing provides the rom part of the rom-com description. It's a varied take on the usual harem formula: think of anime with fake/forced romances, multiply it with a harem/multiple-girl setup, and you've got the mold of TWGOK and Yamada-kun. TWGOK season 1 contains its romantic aspects within each episode with each featured heroine. On the other hand, Yamada-kun's growing-main-cast direction allows a romantic subtext to build over time across episodes. The romance of TWGOK is foundational to each arc, while in Yamada-kun the central mystery of the Suzuku High witches provides the basis of the plot, complemented by a season-spanning, slow-budding romantic development. 

TLDR: This recommendation is based primarily on similarities in atmosphere, premise, and plot structure. read more

The story is a lot like The World God Only Knows.  The approach is different, but still, a love diety (in this case, a cupid of sorts) watches and aids the MC in his endeavors with the many girls that fall in love with him.  Each time he resolves the situation, they lose the memories of their romance.  However, the memories they lose aren't the memories made with the MC, as those are real.  The thing is that after they all share a cake with Haoyi, memories become implanted in their minds that leads to them feeling deep love for him rather than just being infatuated.  Its THESE memories which are problematic because Haoyi has no idea what they're talking about and they bring it up in front of people.  So, to correct that, he cures their curses by locking in the romance, and then the fake memories go away though they still may be left with love for him.  
Whats different for sure is that Aishen is LITERALLY A CHINESE CARTOON! But dont let that deter you because the art is absolutely wonderful. read more

The greatest conquest. Death Note and The World God Only Knows are quite similar, genius characters Light and Keima both hunt/capture different people are incredible speeds with the knowledge they have from before.

Although, Death Note is Light uses his intelligence in aiding him with mass serial killings. TWGOK uses Keima to capture different girls via dating them. Both are also accompanied by some out-of-this-earth being on these conquests.

With Death Note being a mindboggling mystery psychology anime with mind games around every turn, TWGOK is a fun romance anime about, essentially, speedruns of datings.

The overall idea/theme of our protagonist overcoming supernatural things pertaining to a girl is present in both stories. The key difference is that the Bunny Girl Senpai protagonist has to solve the problem the girl faces, whereas the TWGOK MC has to solve these 'misgivings' through a kiss and romantic means (to be fair, getting there entails going through the same 'solve her problems' means).

guy helps out the girls with their problems caused by the supernatural and build their relationship, potentially to a one sided crush. also great banter between the elsie and mc like the show. similarly problems are realistic lessons that see the characters develop through their own individual arc.

honestly if you love this show, you'll love this one as well. they differ heavily in their executions but fall within the concept of picking up girls each arc.

If you enjoyed how Sakuta helped various girls in their societal, parental problems without it turning into a harem, then Kaminomi/TWGOK is a MUST recommendation. It's similar in that premise, though its lore is much deeper than whatever Bunny Girl Senpai had to offer. 

There are also much more girls in the cast, and you're bound to find more of the exaggerated anime tropes here that were pretty much absent in Bunny Girl Senpai (e.g. the main character getting beat up).

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! read more

If you like witty MCs and well constructed stories.

Although the Main story line and setting is vastly different. One is a light-hearted school harem and other is about strategical intelligent drama. The main characters are actually surprisingly similar, I would even go as far as saying they are reincarnations with each other.

They share a lot of traits together.
- Manipulative [Keima don't actually like real girls at the start and mostly just plays with others heart for his own benefit ]
- Expert at something [Gal-Game and chess]
- Intelligent [this is obvious]
- Delusional [keima thinks he is god and lelouch as well]

Surely there are traits they do not share, but that could be easily be explained as different background while growing up, with lelouch having a rough childhood and keima a normal one. In all and all their similarities are surprising numerous. read more

One major trait shared by these two anime that made me really like them both is their amount and quality of character development. Throughout each arc of the two anime, the protagonist and the viewer learn about the heroine’s personal difficulties or a major event that took place in their past, and the protagonist helps the heroine overcome the scars or handicaps resulting from them. Both anime also have sequel seasons with plots that go a different direction than their previous seasons, but have many of the same characters. read more

Both came to be this way due to them being paired with their female counterparts, going along on a game-styled journey, or levels if you like, to better their social interactions with other females.

TWGOK uses capturing girls for the social part of the story, Bottom-Tier uses a "normie"-esque style of life.

Both are good anime that I find to be very enjoyable as they take the mix of loners, cynicism, and gaming to something very fun to watch.

Kamisama ni Natta Hi addpermalink

The greatest. Nothing goes past them. TWGOK and Kamisama both follow individuals who have so much power in what they do.

Kamisama's Hina does this with her extraordinary library of knowledge, TWGOK's does this with Keima's absolute order in his way of capturing waifus.

Both are good anime with great comedy to laugh at whilst viewing them as so.

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan addpermalink

-They both take places in School.
-Both have Megane MCs with deadpan expression.
-Both MCs are forced to do things they actually dislike (Keima forced to save the girls from Kaketama, while Saiki forced to take a part in any events that makes him inconvenience).
-Both MCs are "The god" in their own story (Keima is the god of galge. Saiki In other hand, has a "god-like" power).
-Both have Supernatural elements.

The difference is Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai focused on romance and the Harem Story of Keima, while Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan as the title says, focused on how disasterous Saiki's life was..

Despite Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan didn't focused on romance, Saiki still get some girls who love him (just like Keima). Both also have a good amounts of Comedy (especially in Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan). read more

These are really different but they have one major similarity. In Shugo Chara people create those X eggs because they can't do their dreams or something like that, while in Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai, people get loose souls because of something emotional inside them too. And it's up to the main characters to solve that.

Vandread is in space, but both involve aliens and a genki/air-head character. Vandread has that same harem type feel, and both have the saving the "world" plot.
Neither anime are a serious type; they're more of a laid back watch.
Each are relying on a guy who is perfect for getting the job done.

Same type of exaggerated, stereotypical, ironic and satirical kind of comedy.

Same settings -- it both take place in a private school. (Though it is not directly stated or emphasized in The World God Only Knows.)

Both series stereotypes love, romance and the kind of characters.

One of the main characters is very intellectual, manipulative and has that sexy nerd feel.

 One of the main character is surrounded by the opposite sex.

Well first of all , the main character is a high school boy with many girls around them. It involves demons, however the main character in "Kami nomi zo shiru sekai" is a human.  The girls around them are really cute and sweet.  Ichiban involves more action and fights of course but the theme is pretty similar.  They are both really funny anime's , especially the main characters are clueless most of the time..

I was very surprised to find that these weren't already recommended for each other. 
I can say with confidence that if you like one, you'll most likely like the other.
both deal with gaming turning into something more real. although the game subjects are different. The art is really similar in both.They are so similar on atmosphere, that you must watch both. I MUST stress on thing though, if you are into SAO for the fighting, you may not like the other, for it has much less action. it has more ROMANCE.
