Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

Gekkan Shoujo is more "noisy" and funny, while Tanaka-kun is more heartwarming and calm, but both feature a really fun and lovely group of not-so-similar teenagers that befriend one another. The comedy parts of Tanaka-kun and Gekkan Shoujo are really similar, and both anime have the same pleasant vibe.  

- Both feature a fantastic cast full of likeable and fun characters, none of them feel like their comedy part is getting tiring or repetitive at any point of their anime, instead one ends up loving them more and more after every moment they appear. - Both have a romantic subplot with one girl liking the protagonist, sadly for the poor girls, it always end up being played for laughs because they don't realize said love (Nozaki is denser than a black hole, and Tanaka is way too lazy for a relationship). - They are absolutely hilarious and the perfect choice for having a good laugh. 

Both shows base a portion of their humor off misunderstandings. While these misunderstandings are often unintentional, they develop into running gags that last throughout the course of the entire show. Both shows also utilize a medium-sized cast full of colorful, quirky characters whose interactions lay the foundation for good, well-timed situational-based and relationship-based humor. And, finally, the setting and premise are pretty similar. After all, Gekkan Shoujo and Tanaka-kun are both centered around the lives of "normal" high school students. 

These shows will make you laugh yes or yes! Unique and weird characters, nice art and some vanilla comedy. Each episode gets better and you'll want to watch more. As a plus, both shows have handsome dudes and cute girls, so no matter if you are a boy or a girl, you'll enjoy it.  

A lot of scenes from Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge reminds me of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun If you enjoyed watching Gekkan Shoujo, youll definitely like Tanaka-kun as well Especially the characters, its really hard not to like them (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

If you are looking for a great high school Slice Of Life/Comedy, look no further, because both shows fit the bill. Both anime feature incredibly lovable characters that will worm their way into your heart and never leave. While Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun pokes fun at shoujo manga tropes, Tanaka-Kun Is Always Listless uses more grounded and calmer humour to entertain.  

Both are comedy slice of life anime with rather plain protagonists, which are surrounded by a cast of colorful characters, in a highschool. 

-Both titles see one character who's surrounded by people much more bubbly than themself. -Both make you feel good, and gives a good laugh as well. 

If you really enjoyed the aesthetic of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, then Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge is a great series to watch as well! These two High School based series have a similar fun and easy going vibe, and are both the same length in terms of episodes. The pacing for each series is easy to follow and the consistency in that pace allows for a continually engaging story. 

comedy , relaxing , school life and very refreshing :)) 

~both are character driven comedy. ~main protagonist is preety plain. ~great side character's. ~both are from slice of life genre. ~storymostly takes place in school premises. 

If you like an main character with a Laziness personality like Oreki Houtarou in Hiyouka, then this anime is the closest one. The Main Character is Tanaka, lazy but have "power" XD 

Similar main characters, but Tanaka takes laziness to a whole new level 

+ The main characters are very similar to how they both long for a quiet, peaceful life and are perceived as being very lazy. + An eccentric female character who takes an interest in the male main character. + Both are slow-paced and calm slice-of-life shows. - Hyouka focuses more on mysteries, visuals, and music. - Tanaka-kun is Always Listless has a much more relatable and chill feeling. 

Both protags are pretty lazy Both animes are pretty chill Both animes give off feel good vibes what more do you need? 

Both shows are centered around an energy-conservative main character with similar personalities and mannerisms. Both shows take place in a school setting with a cultural festival episode, though Tanaka-kun does not have the mystery plot to it and feels more lighthearted and comedic. 

Will call it Tanaka-kun because the title is too long. Tanaka-kun is dull, slow, and boring in the beginning, but it gets better. The art is good in both, but it is light in Tanaka-kun. They both are Slice of life and school, but Tanaka-kun has comedy, unlike Hyouka, which is a mystery and more serious. Tanaka-kun is a little clichéd, but it is mixed in well with the listlessness attribute, and most people will be able to relate to Tanaka. There isn't an FMC like Hyouka, though there is one-sided love, you could say. The show will get you, and it will make you feel how the MC feels (all lazy, tired, and energy-conserving). Both MCs like to conserve energy and are lazy. Both Houtarou and Tanaka would agree that it takes too much effort to do shit. The cast is also good in both that work well with the MCs. To be clear, Tanaka-kun is a lazy character, but that is not all there is to it, and they both have interesting storylines. read more 

Keduanya termasuk bagian dari 'GUE BANGET' dan juga sifat Tanaka yang tidak hanya ingin mager sekaligus ingin bersantai terlihat sama seperti Houtarou Oreki inginkan. 

They are both school slice of life anime with a lazy main characters. Both series are also chilling and optimistic, but they involve different things. Hyouka focuses on students who engage in mysteries while Tanaka Kun centers around the lives of a lazy guy with a lighter tone.  

Althought the settings of these two anime are completly different - listless boy / lively girl (witch) both of them are hitting the same relaxing spot. They are those rare iyashikei anime where nothing really happens but just watching it smooths your heart. Not to mention art is awesome in both of them. 

Anime that both fully embody the idea of "Slice of Life" at it's core. Very calm, relaxing atmosphere 80% of the time, and the other 20% is pretty much guaranteed to be filled with great humor or touching moments. Especially when it comes to the humor, both these shows have a great sense of comedic timing, not being afraid to have some extra long pauses to really emphasis a joke to it's full extent.  

-Both are relaxing and calm anime where really nothing happens -Because of this, they have a unique type of comedic appeal that won't appeal to most people -The standout of these shows is definitely the quirky characters 

Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge and Flying Witch are anime that is a must watch if you want to relax or is tired from watching too much actions or such.These anime are incredibly nice to watch, nothing overwhelming, but nice enough for anyone to be hooked in. 

Both shows are focused on slice of life, the artwork, pacing, soundtracks, and even the gags are very relaxing. There may not be much difference except for the fact that Flying Witch has a supernatural tag. 

Both anime are calming and relaxed. Rather then having some taking you on a life changing journey these anime just take you on a brief but nice stroll.  

○ Both have relaxing atmospheres ○ Similar comedy ○ Good friendship elements ○ Great visuals ○ These are both perfect shows for when you're feeling super lazy! 

The main characters Tanaka and Renge are very similar because both are lazy, clueless and quiet persons. They are funny in a unique way because they see the world in a different way. Both are simple persons who don't realize anything. The atmosphere in both shows is calm and relaxing and the type of comedy is very similar because both have awkard moments, unique characters interaction and a lot of misunderstandings.  

The music composers are exactly the same! I was so surprised to figure this out. Anime, for me, is all about the soundtrack. Mizutani Hiromi is a really good composer, and I love listening to his pieces. 

same studio, same relaxing atmosphere, same.......sigh........ just watch it  

While their plots and characters are quite different, Tanaka-kun and Non Non Biyori evoke the same feelings of peace and calmness, with some comedy so as no to be too boring, so, I think, people who liked either of them would enjoy the other. 

In general, Non Non Biyori and Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge are very calming series, and both portray the iyashikei subgenre very well. Characters from these two series are often found doing whatever they feel like doing, and the atmosphere simply accompanies them throughout any situations they find themselves in. The friendships in these series are very friendly and warm, with Tanaka-kun ever-so slightly developing a romantic relation on the side. Non Non Biyori details well childhood/adolescence in a rural countryside, and Tanaka-kun in high school - always emphasizing the importance of friends and people you care and love. The music composer also works on both Non Non Biyori and Tanaka-kun, so expect the same comfy and cozy soundtrack in every episode. read more 

Both series are in a high school setting with light and funny feels. The male leads in Handa-kun and Tanaka-kun are adored by their peers and continue to face hilarous settings. 

Both are beautiful slice of life comedy with bright colors. The characters are very likable with their peculiar personalities. Both set in school. 

Main characters of these shows just want to be left alone. Tanaka-kun is fairy relaxing show with some humor and Handa-kun is more focused on humor but it can also be relaxing.  

-Both revolve around protagonists who become extremely popular through misunderstandings -Both protagonists have a blonde best friend that takes a similar approach to the situation -They both have a lazy, laid-back atmosphere  

Both are about misunderstandings and have unique characters. The visuals also have a similar style. 

Both are about someone who wants be left alone (in some ways), it reminds me of both 

While the plots and characters differ quite a lot, both of these series are refreshing, relaxing slice of life series set in a school environment. They have similar animation styles and humour.  

They are both calming shows that makes you feel calm and peaceful. The characters are likable and are just trying to get through their school life along with their friends. Highly enjoyable slice of life shows. 

Both combine ikemen, iyashikei, pastel colors, and light comedy very well. For the uninitiated, that means both give you a soothing feeling and have cute guys. 

Kimi to Boku (KtB) and Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge (TwIK) are both about the daily lives of the main characters. In KtB, it is a group of 5 friends while it is just a pair in TwIK. Both animes have very similar art styles and both have an extremely calming atmosphere or 'feel' to it. They both mainly focus on comedy, however KtB has some drama once in a while. If you're looking for an easy and relaxing anime to watch, KtB or TwIK are great 'healing' animes. 

Sometimes chill and laid back anime can be boring and I don't like to watch them but I actually enjoyed these two, they are very similar in the de-stress department plus the school comedy department too. 

Sleep is the most important thing in life. Both MC's hobbies at this point could be said to be "sleeping". There is a difference in setting and comedy used where Tanaka-kun is very laid back and warming whereas Maoujou can get very slapstick yet vibrant but both are surrounded by an interesting group of characters. Regardless, both MC's will do anything just to get their sleep. 

Both mc loves sleeping Each episode involves comedy and laziness The side characters are always worry of them 

Both the main characters are quite similar #both the Mc trying to find peace and sleep both are talented for sleeping too But in maoujou the story takes place in a demon castle and in tanaka the story takes place in a peaceful slice of life atmosphere  

both MCs will do anything to protect their "sleep" both MCs only cares about the quality of their "sleep" both MCs seems to be apathetic to their surroundings both MCs make the other side casts worry about them in one way or another 

Both very relaxing (aka. iyashikei) and light-hearted with simplistic character designs. Tanaka-kun is more episodic, while Isshuukan Friends has more of a storyline (and some drama at the end). 

Light-hearted slice of life anime that features a male protagonist that is always uneasy. Both have a similar artstyle and school setting. Tanaka-kun does have more comedy while One Week Friends has more drama and a slight bit of romance.  

They both share this dreamy spring atmosphere, contain comedy and romance and are very easygoing slice of life anime. 

The main similarity that came to my mind was the art-style and atmosphere: both Tanaka-kun and Isshuukan Friends have that adorable, fluffy art and feeling, which is standard for Hazuki Maacha (Mangaka of the latter). Both also have a very likeable cast of characters that are generally soft-spoken and rarely raise their voice and both also have (somewhat) subtle romance parts. Lastly, both will most likely be some of the more relaxing things you'll ever see (excluding the final part of 'IF' for this one) and can turn even the shittiest day around in a heartbeat. 

Both are very chill. Great for relaxing late at night or while on Winter/Summer break. Both never fail to make you smile. 

If you're searching for comfy and healing anime, these are my recommendations. No protagonist, no antagonist, no plot twist, no mind control, etc. You can watch it while having a cup of hot chocolate, relaxing on your sofa/bed, wearing a blanket. 

both are very relaxing, I never felt so much peace, I recommend it a lot, and they are also anime to take it easy so please don't see it all, I really liked it! 

Both protagonists take common, usually boring high school dilemmas or tasks and redefine them in their own unique perspective. 

Sakamoto achieves perfection in everything he does, while Tanaka strives for a listless life. The protagonists are the polar opposite of each other, but they're also very similar. They both unintentionally help their classmates, and have the same attitude. 

Their both funny and both characters have a similar gimmick which turns out comedic in both cases. 

Chill anime !! The one difference is Tanaka Kun has less romance, but overall same humor and vibe. Typical slice of life  

both have the softer art style and vibes, more slice of life. comedy that is light-hearted. 

These both shows has super relatable characters and their traits are explored in a very humorous way. They both give you the same feeling while watching it. If you're fan of one thing then I'd highly recommend the other one to you. 

they're both chill animes and the reality just calms you down yk 

They're both really funny, and follow the everyday lives of the characters, just through different perspectives.  

A series with the most hilarious, absurd comedy that really makes you forget the boring real life. 

The closest similarity is the romance undertone, both has the popular girl in class develop a crush to the mc and the element is emphasized pretty much the same amount. 

They're both generally calm animes considering they're both in the slice of life genre, each episode has a different plot and the plot isn't so extreme, just simple events. 

The two animes are based on protagonists who are sleepy and isolated, who only want to lead a calm life of their way, besides living in their own world and philosophy. 

I think we combine these animes a lot because they are more to relax and worry and identify in a few moments 

Both aren't really that similar but both are super relaxing. If you like light-hearted, easy going anime, you'll like Natsume Yuujinchou.  

Both anime have a similar light-hearted tone and feel. They focus a lot on the characters. Though this anime is more of a school-life, comedy anime, it has a lot of similar character depth and fun obstacles Tanaka must overcome on his journey to being listless. I loved both! 

Both shows feature "strange students" who act socially-inept compared to the rest of their classmates. Both shows are slice of life with comedy elements that occur from the respective "strange students" awkwardly interacting with their various classmates. 

Has Same calm mood, a "less social" protagonist and his friend.  

They are comedy and slice of life and have easy character design and color is very normal but beautiful. 

TIK is a more sedentary Nichijou. Both are slice-of-life animes in which the plot from episode to episode has only mild importance. Both are fun and easy to watch with pleasant art styles and very little ecchi. Tanaka and Ohta, the male leads of TIK, would fit into Nichjou's character lineup very well with their ridiculous relationship. If you've finished Nichijou and are looking for more quirky light comedy, Tanaka might be who you're looking for. 

Both are very calming to watch. You will be laughing one moment and other moment you will be relaxing and just like that you will complete the whole anime with a satisfying smile on your face. 

Working!! and Tanaka-kun are easy-to-watch and funny anime centered on the characters and their interactions. Both are slice-of-life, so naturally don't expect to see some overarching plots or action, but instead the cast's lives and all the ridiculous things they do. If you like Working!!'s characters, you'll probably like Tanaka-kun's too. Miyano is similar to Popura, and Shiraishi's shy girlyness might remind you of Inami. (no punching from Shiraishi though, sorry.) Every episode of both anime is enjoyable, even if there's something you don't find funny, it's quickly over and on to something else funny. The jokes in both are brilliant, in my opinion. Tanaka-kun has less romance than Working!!, but it's hinted, so if you're looking for something to ship you might find it. (and Working!!'s doesn't come until much later) Either one is a great anime to watch, especially when just relaxing or looking for laughs.  read more 

Lighthearted slice of life comedy with fun romance elements, reminded me of it the entire time watching. 

Both are comedy anime, with bored, detached loner Mcs which are surrounded by a lot of people that force them to interact and socialize with others. 

- Comedy/School - You can say the main characters are similar with not being very social - Some focus on relationship between MC and others 

Both centre around a quiet protagonist with interesting characters around them. One involving sport, but more uses it as a medium for comedy, opposed to a pure 'sports anime'. hope you enjoy! :) 

Both of them just generally just have the same vibe, silly to silly and to be silly while watching them both which is a great deal if you wanna be silly or watch them be the silly. >w<
