Similar comedy style and length, bursts of hilarious moments throughout each episode of each series.
Very similar fast paced and random style of humor. Both have short episode lengths and are easy and fun to watch
Similar style and type of humour, even though DMC is more fast paced and has less original content (ie. ammount of jokes)
Both series have a similar kind of random, quirky, unconventional humour, a similar aesthetic style, character who are supposed to be rough and tough but really aren't (a death metal band who've done nothing to deserve their infamy, the world's most well-behaved delinquents), and short episodes to boot.
As you wacth one, you will remember the other. The humor on both is so similar. You will catch your self laughing out loud with DMC if you lol'd with Cormartie, and vice-versa. I would'nt say that they both have equal art style, but surely, they both distinguish from generic look.
Same type of crude humor and similar styles. Also very fast-paced. Short episodes that'll made you lol. The main characters try to be rough and tough, which they really aren't.
Everyone pretty much already said what made the two series similar, absurd humor and all. Just wanted to add a vote.
Both Cromartie High School and Detroit Metal City feature mild, unassuming protagonists who are thrust into the company of crude and crass individuals. Cromartie and DMC both feature offbeat, wacky, and often abrupt humor, and both series follow a similar "half-episode" format.

Both are slice of life shows dealing with music. The main characters are kind of similar and they are also members of bands. There is more drama and romance in BECK, while D. M. C. has more comedy.
This anime is also about music, so if thats what you want, then see it, but besides the fact that they ar both about musicians, these anime havent got anything else in common.
DMC is about music? Beck is too!!!!
All who like electornic gutars and Rock must see it!!!
While both are very obviously music orientated, I wouldn't go as far as to say they are similar anime (Beck is slice of life/comedy, while DMC is more ironic). However I will strongly recommend you following up on DMC after watching Beck.
If you are into music and have a band,both this series is for you.Beck is more onto drama and more serious and DMC is comedy but im sure you will enjoy watching this both.
for the people who are fond of playing instruments and had their own band to pursue and reach their goal in music industry
Beck is a story of high school kids trying to make it in a world of rock. They have to deal with teenage drama, but are able to do so without being overly serious. Detroit Metal City takes it to the next level and beyond. It is completely over the top, too funny; if you aren't on the floor laughing something is seriously wrong with you. Definitely not for kids this anime will make you want to violate Tokyo Tower...

Finally something that has the same type of humor. Great anime. Watch it!
They are both fucking hilarious!
They give out the same feeling and make fun out of a lot of things. 'DMC' is a fabulous parody about the music industry, the same way 'Yondemasu yo Azazael-san' laughs about humans, their problems and their true nature.
If you loved either, you will definitely love the other one as well! <3
Same type of humor that uses 'rape as comedy' device often. Both are about 12 minute episode lengths and have extremely crude humor. The strange art style is similar as well.
same type of humor and they both have a short episode length
Both are extremely funny with a ridiculous humor.

Rock n Roll and crazy comedy, kind of like FLCL.
Bizarre short series, action-packed, furiously paced, random events, musical instruments, general foul-mouthedness, sexual undercurrent, horny women (lol), hilarity, both very watchable (SO MUCH SO, YOU WILL WATCH THEM IN LESS THAN A DAY)
Both titles define craziness (crazy characters, stories and animation styles). Also feature guitars especially used as weapons.
If you love random, nonsensical comedy, then FLCL and DMC are for you. They are similar because of their humorous, yet adult-like, theme. Both main characters have split personalities, however in DMC it's a bit more extreme. The animation, though different, is similar to me. I'm no expert on art and animation but the way they throw in funny and random background images or side stories is why I would watch them over and over again. If you like what they would call "adult humor", then DMC and FLCL are definitely worth checking out.

Both are parodies full of gross and dirty jokes. Also, both have 2 stories per episode and a lot of nonsense that somehow works in the plot's favor.
Both feature ridiculous, offensive humor and gratuitous use of English swear words.
If you like vulgar and crude humour, you will probably love these two shows. Both series are a similar short length and are loaded with silly sex jokes and ridiculous levels of swearing. This is the type of comedy where you have to just disconnect your brain and laugh.

very damn funny. wether u like metal music or not, u won't be able to stop laughing. & the episode is like 10 min.
There are mainly two categories among my favorite comedy series.
The first one is the Fumoffu/School Rumble group, typical (but great) high school comedy.
The second category, only composed by GTO and DMC, distinguishes itself by a more particular sense of humor. They both share awesomely wicked main characters, and also 3 letters title acronyms.
Comedy titles with crude humor and crazily brash protagonists.

Some crazy sense of humor.
Both these series animes have some extremely gross humour,vulgar jokes and very funny violence and profanity. If you are the kind that can admire the shows, where the creators try to shock the viewer and show, how ugly yet funny our world is, you have to try these two out.
Also, DMC and Dokuro-chan are really short: about 5 normal episodes. So you won't get sick of them in such a short time.

If you liked gintama for its lame but awesome comedy, you'll love DMC!
Both series are some of the best comedies I have seen to date. If you liked either one, you'll probably like the other!

ridiculous and crazy humor
Probably the two funniest anime I've seen. Even if you don't care about school life and music themed anime (I don't) both are definitely worth watching if you like inappropriate humor. Suitable for adults.

You may like The Legend of Black Heaven if you have seen Detroit Metal City other way around I don't know as Detroit Metal City feature very bad language and sick humour.
But both animes contain music in rock genre, the main characters also have two kind of life style or personality and they have some problem with their relationships too while they performing or what ever it calls.
The protagonists of both series are hard rock/heavy metal guitarists. Both anime series were also named after their rock bands (Detroit Metal City and Black Heaven).

Even though one of them is about music and the other one is school life, the humor is about the same where a pure heated guy gets into the wrong situation in some funny way
Both shows have a main character who is a good guy but most people think they are of the worst kind and are just funny as hell.
so when you liked one youll love the other one too

Both have similar fast-paced styles of crrude humor. However, the episoides in DMC follow an actual plot, whereas Gyagu Manga Biyori tends to resort more to randomness.
While Gyagu Manga Biyori is made up mainly of random sketches and DMC follows a storyline, both are comedies and the way the humor is executed is very similar.

Both of them have a kilograms of black humor and misunderstanding between characters.
|
|
|
DMC, what can you say about this show? It's weird nasty and frickin hilarious. Level E can get a little gory at times but I think if you like the dumb funny in either you'll at least enjoy the other.
|
|
|
Both shows have the same black comedy sense of humor, and the main character in both series is an anti-hero came from the depths of hell to rule this world with all his epicness!
|

Both hilariously random with episodes comprising of many short segments.
DMC focuses over the life in a death metal band while DKNN focuses on the lives of highschool boys. DMC is also a little bit more vulgar.
|
|
|
Very crude humor featured in both titles though DMC is much more extreme.
|
|
|
Both quite silly, but in the end so damn funny. Detroit Metal City is a lot more offensive, but if you watched Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san without any crying about it being offensive thet you'll be fine with Detroit Metal City.
|
|
|
Both anime are crazy, full of expression, action and vulgar jokes.
Also, they have short episodes.
|
|
|
Both are comedies with random humor that make fun of social groups and their values. Detroit Metal City has a more well-defined history, while Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei has more intelligent jokes and social analysis.
|
|
|
Dark comedy with simple but outrageous animation and pictures, mentoined similar topics like sexuality, aberrations. + using metal/rock music
|
|
|
Both are very funny. Think of Seitokai Yakuindomo as DMC's lighter counterpart :D
|
|
|
They both have the same style of "in your face" humour, and both main characters have inexplicable motivations (why does Negishi keep singing for DMC? / how the fu*K did Excel end up working for Ilpalazzo?)
|
|
|
Wanna try another anime with crude humor? Try Detroit Metal City.
|
|
|
Despite having different approaches, both shows focus on music. Each of them has a character who likes The Sex Pistols. While NANA has more romance, DMC has more comedy.

Both are crazy ass comedies
|
|
|
Both are insanely hilarious.
|
|
|
Berserk= gore & death
DMC= music bout gore & death
|
|
|
Both are of these hilarious comedies have short episodes and know no shame.
|
|
|
While the music is nowhere near similar, both DMC and Sexy Commando have a fast paced and absurd sense of humor that makes you laugh so hard you have to pause and rewind the show to catch what you missed.
|
|
|
Short episodes with similar sense of humor.

Bastard and Detroit Metal City are from different genres. But both pays a homage to heavy metal icons and sub-culture.
