Major Similarities Between Magic-Kyun! Renaissance and B-Project *Zecchou Emotion

1. A Worthwhile Goal

Although the central girl's growing relationships with a slew of eligible bachelors serve as the real driving force, Magic-kyun! Renaissance justifies the planning committee's existence by tasking the characters with presenting an enjoyable Hoshi Festival. B-Project: Zecchou*Emotion primarily revolves around the unit's attempts to stage a second live concert, while also exploring the backstories of a new group called Killer KiNG. Due to its professional setting, romance plays a slightly smaller role in B-Project: Zecchou*Emotion, allowing more time to explore the music side of things.

2. More Than a Pretty Face

It is not unusual for a reverse harem's object of affection to be basically reduced to a prize for the guys to compete over. Diabolik Lovers is a prime example of a passive protagonist with little to no redeeming features. Stubborn but well-intentioned, Kohana stands as one of the genre's better main characters, although Tsubasa gives the teenager a good run for her money. As B-Project: Zecchou*Emotion's protagonist is a working adult whose future depends on the idol unit's success, Tsubasa actively seeks to foster bonds with the cast of male characters. Like Kohana, she is not merely waiting to be swept off her feet.

3. The Sound of Music

Magic-Kyun! Renaissance links magic with performance arts. In order to trigger a spell, someone must be able to dance, sing, or sculpt. The majority of the anime's greatest scenes blend magic, romance, and music to produce truly enchanting moments. While magic is out of the equation, B-Project: Zecchou*Emotion is packed to the brim with catchy songs and even a few live performances. An idol show is nothing without a memorable soundtrack and Bandai Namco Pictures' anime more than delivers in this area.

• Aired: January 2019 – March 2019

Major Similarities Between Magic-Kyun! Renaissance and Meiji Tokyo Renka

1. A Problem Solver

Magic-Kyun! Renaissance adheres to a pretty strict formula; most episodes center around Kohana tackling the problem of one specific guy. Along with giving everyone their moment to shine, this structure permits each boy's backstory to be explored to some extent. Meiji Tokyo Renka essentially follows an identical pattern. A chapter is dedicated to each one of Mei's seven suitors, as the protagonist is tasked with solving a seemingly unsolvable dilemma. Magic-Kyun! Renaissance's guys have a touch more depth than Meiji Tokyo Renka's variants, but the latter are still interesting in their own right.

2. Fish Out of Water

Kohana transfers to Hoshigei High to honor her mother, but her lack of affinity for magic causes the protagonist to stand out among the school's students. Now, in all fairness, Kohana joining an elite college can hardly be compared to Mei's impromptu trip to Meiji-era Tokyo; nonetheless, both protagonists are outcasts. Along with not being born during the 19th century, Mei spent most of her life hiding from society due to her ability to see ghosts. Consequently, she is terrible with people!
