 If you liked Kokoro Connect |  ...then you might like Kiznaiver |
All of the characters of both series are brought together through events none had asked for. They are tasked with understanding each others pains both emotionally and physically. A seemingly usual day like none other will soon spiral into a chaotic array of self discovery, growth of interpersonal relationships, and unwanted thoughts are brought to the surface. Unconscious decisions are suddenly questioned and naïve ones could prove fatal.

Both connect a bunch of young kids. with kiznaiver it is through pain and in Kokoro connect it is through a number of different things as they are inflicted with a number of things through their connection. Kiznaiver lacks the emotion of Kokoro connect
Similar premise where emotions get connected between multiple high schoolers by a "mysterious" force. If you like kiznaiver then kokoro connect should be right up your alley and has a better story.

Both anime focus on a group of teenagers who are connected by a supernatural element that forces them into a strange bond. Although it might seem tedious, pointless, and destructive on the surface, it eventually helps them bond over these new experiences by forcing situations only solvable by exiting their comfort zone and confronting the truth. They both also have elements of comedy, romance, and an interesting cast.
Group of chidren (teenagers) forcefully bonded together in ways they can't control similar feel both are GGG

It is typically the exact same idea, however Kiznaiver delves deeper into the bond that comes from shared emotional and physical trauma, Kokoro Connect subtly hints at the ideas allowing character development and individual backstory drive the concept.
Both series are about a group of teenagers who are forcefully linked with eachother, psychically and mentally. Kiznaiver is a little more sifi esque while Kokoro Connect is more down to earth with supernatural elements. While I have to admit that Kokoro connect is the better written of the two-both are good and if you like one you'll love the other!

They both talked about connecting to each other's bonds will help them solve any premise missions.. Just connect and ur good to go
Both series are telling about how a group of characters trying to understand about each other feelings via a somewhat forced way involving both physical and psychological pain. Kokoro Connect has more drama genre approach and Kiznaiver has more action comedy genre approach.
Both of the show deal with kizuna (bond). Kokoro Connect is supernatural one but kiznaiver is sci-fi. Kokoro connect emotion, feel, and the bond between the characters is better though.
its all about bonds ehe

(I Chose to do this recommendation before i even saw how many other people decided to do so) Both stories follow a group (of teens) and puts them into a supernatural situation by an outside force in order to get them to bond with another. kizanaiver puts a group of strangers together and makes them share physical pain in order to achieve them to eventualy emotional bond them to get them to understand each other's problems Kokoro connect puts a group of friends together who are in a pretty much useless club, and puts them through a series of supernatural events to get them to bond

Both are about a cast of characters who are connected to eachother. In Kokoro Connect, the characters will often switch bodies. In Kiznaiver, the characters share pain.
In both shows, a group of main characters involuntarily participate in a social experiment affecting each members' day to day lives. Kokoro deals with body swapping and Kiznaiver deals with pain sharing.
they both focus around their characters, the characters are put through tests that will somehow make them grow little by little, these test uses some sort of supernatural element, by the end of the series the characters has changed drastically from when the series started.

Friend group, people get connected through stuff, fall in love. they're pretty similiar
Pretty similar story. They will experience each one's lives. The cause is for the phenomenon is an experiment. Little romance. Good story.

-The Sci-Fi setting of both shows is really similar in many aspects. -A group of high-schoolers are brought together and are made to connect to each other to understand each other better. As the series progresses, we see the characters much become more closer than they were before due to this situation. -The whole romance setting is also partly similar. -Really close comparison (Highly recommend the other if you enjoyed this one)

both are a group of teenagers connected through a phenomenon to connect with each other better while love intertwines
They both have a very select group of people who have supernatural phenomenon forced upon them by an outside force. Both shows have a believable hook, and well written characters to go along with it. The romances in both shows are understandable and both have very satisfying ends.
A mystery anime Same concept regarding the story... Both the series are kind a similar to one another

It can obviously be vice versa. They're both quite the same but in my opinion you'll like kokoro connect better. Hope you like them
Basically the same idea, kinda similar approach, a bit different characters and styles. KC is more romance focused, Kiznaiver has more of a thriller/Saw aspects. If you liked one you should try another just to see how it could be done differently.
