Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga

If you could handle Excel Saga's insanity, then i'm sure you can handle Furi Kuri's. It's shorter, faster, and it has a yellow vespa! 

Both are comedic parodies with a similar cast of character: incompetent duo, an eccentric leader, and a pet for the duo to terrorize. Though when it comes to humor, Exel Saga is more fast-paced and spontaneous while Panty & Stocking utilizes more crude and gross-out humor. 

Gintama is also full of reference type humour and is pure crack on crack on crack. It continuously makes fun of any and all anime titles so the more anime you watch the better it gets. I've been watching it over and over again ever since it started airing and I STILL haven't gotten sick of it, or failed to find new puns. Highly highly recommended! 

If you liked one of these then you'll most certainly like the other. Both are filled with random, over the top humor that will make you laugh out loud but will also make you question the sanity of some of the characters as well. The layouts of each are also quite similar, using single episodes for stand alone plotlines that only really seem to come together in the last few episodes of the series. Mostly though, it's the sheer randomness of the characters and the comedy that really shows the similarities of both shows, with each comedic situation more outlandish than the last.  

Whacky comedy in which a hyper female lead brings constant chaos to each and every frame: the description fits Excel Saga as well as Bokusatsu Tenshi. Both are very colourful, loud productions in which characters die and are brought back to life, repeatedly, even. The humour in both relies on shoutouts to other anime and popular culture in general and they have the same feeling of plot-less over the top fun aimed at a more mature audience.  

similar ideas - whole series revolves around the idea of "pick a theme for the episode, then have your protagonists attempt to fit into it with hilarious consequences". 

Besides the obvious similarity -- blonde haired, green-eyed bishes that know how to kick butt when the situation calls for it -- in both these series, cute equals deadly. Random, unearthly occurrences abound and the iconic innocent-to-serious face changes from Excel Saga, if you like pain stirred in with your cute, you can’t go wrong with Dai Mahou Touge. 

If you like crazy, manic humor with no regard for the plot, then you'll love both of these shows. Both of these shows pull jokes out of no where and are both quite heavy on the slap-stick. 

Both animes have the same kind of wacky outrageous feel to them. Also both have female protagonist. 

Crazy Parodies ^^ (also, Lucky Star parodies Excel Saga once or twice xD) 

both are completely random and have no point and both are crazy and hileriously funny 

Both of these anime are part of what I would like to call the "insanity" genre. They are similar in there extreme and strange situations, where you really have no clue whats going on. They are both very outlandish and very funny. If you liked one, you are sure to like the other. 

How did I skipped this. Both shows look stereotypically fantasy/ sci-fi. However, they are essentially comedy, no more no less. There are dramatic sequences and action scenes popping out from time to time, but it's not the bread and butter of the shows. AND the shows will do perfectly fine without them. I believe this two qualified as 'not taking itself seriously' kind of show. It's good for casual audience seeking random humor, but is poison to those who seeks serious thrill and believable drama. 

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?) 

In terms of variety, tone, and irreverent comedy, Space Dandy feels kind of like an updated, much more polished version of Excel Saga. The most obvious difference is that Space Dandy has much nicer animation,and has some more serious episodes, but otherwise they are practically siblings. If you found one funny you will probably like the other, too. 

Although it is said that Puni Puni is a spin off of Excel Saga, the two do not have the same characters or the same sort of story. It does however have the same sort of fast pace comedy and hard to understand characters. Both characters talk rather fast and have jokes that are very hard to understand if your watching the dub since part of those jokes are based off of word play. 

Very similar types of humor. Excel is a bit more energetic and adult.. but not by much in either category. 

Both are senseless comedy with little logic or plot, that leave you thinking "Wait.. What?" Excel Saga has more of a hyperactive feel to it, though. 

Both shows are very comical and make funny references to other anime and pop culture. They also have very obsessive female characters being obsessive toward an unwelcoming male and make light of very controversial issues. 

These two series are filled with side-splitting hilarity and randomness. It’s basically impossible to predict what will happen next in these crazy worlds, because they break all rules and logic of your standard anime. Hilarious events occur that you'll remember for months, if not years. 

Both Arakawa Under The Bridge and Excel Saga are comedy and paraody anime based on random humour and improbable situations, although Arakawa has a little bit more story, and Excel Saga more randomness, respectivily.  

Both have 3-4 main characters where something weird always happens to them, perhaps a little too weird. Also they both have similar slapstick humour, Nupu Nupu being even more perverted 

Even though the theme is a little bit off they both have some precious comedy that not all anime have IMO they are some of the best funny animes 

Just like Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai, Excel Saga features a blue-haired heroine who is very sick. Excel Saga's Hyatt tends to vomit blood every couple of seconds due to her laughably weak constitution. In a similar fashion, Rikka is shown to shed blood by biting her thumb in order to augment her magical abilities (at least in her fantasies, anyway). Moreover, while Hyatt is always physically ill, Rikka is always mentally ill. 

Both series literally kill off their main character at the beginning of the first episode. Both MCs were highshcool girls Both MCs were killed by a truck. Both are hilarious in their own way. Zombieland Saga is an Idol anime Excel Saga is a Parody anime 

Excel Saga has 2 female protagonist, evil organizations, good vs. evil theme, and THE BIGGEST similarity would be that BOTH HAS A LOT OF RANDOM PARODIES! 

2 girls, 1 is a psychotic and not-too-bright, 2nd is soft-spoken.. anime filled with perverts, idiots.. well bizarre and goofy characters :) 

The same nonsense, we understand nothing, but that has the merit to be funny. Both follow no order in particular, most of the episodes are of no use. To see just for the funny and then the episodes of strange + owed only 3 minutes, it is the advantage 

Both excel saga and heybot have random and unexpected humor, they're essentially parodic in nature, sharing the same formula of having episodes focused on satirizing different genres of animation. Both series are self-aware and rely a lot on the use of meta-narratives and breaking of the 4th wall, heybot is especially creative in how it handles its merchandising inside the anime. Both of them are also impressively visually creative despite a severe lack of budget.  

- Similar style of comedy, but Excel is more extreme. - There's a "commander" character who stays in a building who sends a girl(s) to a mission. - The heroine is blindly in love with a guy and would do anything for him. 

Same original creator (or co-creator in KnP case) Same weird vibe and spastic humour Many characters share similarities in appearance and personality. Sexual references and dirty gags in both besides ES is more lighthearted and episodic while KnP is a bit more serious and have something that resembles a plot but still episodic, in short, two enjoyable "turn off your brain" comedy shows if you like that stuff. 

Two fun, stupid and creative shows, similar in both style and spirit despite being almost 20 years apart from each other. In both, you follow the nonsensical hijinks of a couple of cute and horrendously dangerous girls, while the producers and writers behind everything have one heck of a time in creating the most surreal scenarios and interactions you can imagine. After all, isn't this what anime's really about? Having fun. 

Parody series full of references to other anime and only a vague idea of a plot. 

Both have girls being retarded in funny ways 

Both were directed by Shinichi Watanabe, making it have the same type of random, non-sensical, over-the-top humor. IF YOU'RE LATIN AMERICAN PLEASE WATCH BOTH DUBBED. 

A lot of self-aware humor and referencial humor related to the anime industry. There are episodes where the style shifts to poke fun at certain tropes and genres. 

Crazy 90's anime, similar drawing style, similar humor, goofy comedy. Both have eccentric characters, random moments and girls with a mission. If you liked one of them you'll definitely like the other. 

Both are extremely over-the-top parody anime with the humor cranked up to 11. However, Excel Saga parodies a wide range of anime genres (with each episode being a parody of something), whereas Nadesico sticks to parodying mecha anime. 

Each features the misadventures of a well-meaning, but kind of dumb, young woman in a bizarre setting. 

Excel Saga is best described as Gintama before Gintama. Without Excel Saga, there wouldn't really be a Gintama. Both are goofy parody type anime- Gintama parodies more specific anime whilst Excel Saga likes to parody genres in general. Both have a story, however it only begins to move at the end of the series. If you like Gintama and can't wait until it's next season, consider watching Excel Saga. 

Both are comedy/parody shows centering around an organization trying to take over the world. Both feature protagonists who are henchmen to the evil mastermind (Willingly in the case of Excel Saga, reluctantly in Zvezda). 

Ebichu is good for exploring the more raunchy and perverted side of comedy that Excel Saga also displays. 

These shows both seem to incorporate many different genres in each arc including totally random stuff which you will probably never make sense of. Excel Saga occurs mostly in an urban setting and has a larger cast while Jinrui is more of a quite countryside kind of show. 

Excel Saga's episode # 23 is an hilarious parody, for the most part, of Hokuto No Ken. You'll obviously understand the episode's references better if you watched The Fist Of The North Star before. 

Both are hilarious, random, and politically incorrect anime. Crazy characters a go-go, almost no plot, and most episodes are not linked to each other. Excel Saga & Shin-chan even have a background music in common in certain episodes. 

The 2nd season of Orphen is more comedy-centered than the 1st, and it has almost the same wacky, random, absurd feeling of Excel Saga. Both anime have a blond, energetic girl who carries her dog around. Also, both anime are by JC Staff. 

Random, crazy, and hilarious. Both have a blond female protagonist (Excel/Melon) and a sexually twisted megane teacher/scientist (Gojo Shiouji/Hidehiko Otoya). Also, Kakeru’s stupidity and perverseness reminds me of Iwata. Both are enjoyable, funny, and underrated series, and both mustn’t be taken seriously. 

Resetting time anyone?  

Burn Up instantly gave me the Excel Saga feeling. The female protagonists are both blond, hyperactive and quite stupid girls which are short of money and always hungry. Also, both work in some kind of organization (Excel=ACROSS, Rio=police). Municipal Force Daitenzin in ES and police in BUE both have the goal of protecting the city (even if they usually fail). Both anime have comedy, randomness and action. They also are both set in non-existent cities. 

Both are extremely funny parodies of other anime series . If you like Setokai no Ichizon,you'll also like Excel Saga. 

Same director. 

While completely different in both storyline, setting, pace, style and pretty much every other way, the thing that links them both is their great many references to other animes. An otakus dream really, see how many references and spoofs of your other favourite anime you can find! 

In a similar fashion, Excel Saga is a parody/comedy that takes everything to extreme. If you enjoy these kind of ëxtreme" experiments, you will like Excel Saga. 

Cracked out slapstick parody. 

The characters have many similarities and it is just as funny! 

Similar characters (Tenma-Excel, Yakumo-Hyatt, and a bunch of extra ones) Constantly changing plot Complete randomness style 

Weird/peculiar humor, often meta. Similar wacky characters Excel - Zucchini, Il Palazzo - Purilun. Both shows give off a similar vibe and overall feel of an experimental animation not bound by chains of reason. 

Dragon Half is a short 2-episode OVA, while Excel Saga is a 26-episode TV series. Dragon Half mostly parodies the fantasy genre and traditional video game RPGs, while Excel Saga parodies pretty much everything over the course of 26 eps. Both were produced in the 1990s, and share similar humor elements (random jokes, slapstick, cute girls with more beauty than brains). Kotono Mitsuishi lends her voice talents to both main characters, Mink and Excel, so you know both girls are kind of dim-witted, but likable, and ENERGETIC. Also, both licenses were originally acquired by AD Vision, so you know what to expect from the English adaptation and dubbing. read more 

Very similar random type of anime - you keep asking yuorself: "Wait, why did this happen?" They're also both immensely funny. 

both are really random with there funny pparts although excel saga is a bit of the deep end 

Both are very random and loose with more of a focus on gags and quirkiness than actual coherency...and yet, have some weird, misshapen heart beating deep in the center. Both follow a group of incomprehensible/detestable women fighting towards vague goals that are never properly explored, but have a big focus on sexuality, gross out humor, and general irreverence. Essentially of the same ilk as something like FLCL, or PSG, but with lower overall quality and less of a budget. 

You like animes with sick humor, lots of references and a storyline goes around the rules of a storyline? That are the points wich makes those two animes very similiar. ...oh and both have Nabeshin! <3 

Both comedies about secret evil organizations trying to conquer the world. Though Excel Saga is much heavier on the comedy and well flat out surreal at times.... most times. Still one of my all time favorites. Fun fact the english voice actress lost her voice form shouting so much. 

kind of stupid jokes and crazy 

The perverted humor in both titles is present, as well as the craziness that ensues the title characters in both series. 

Both are funny comedy series with slapstick humor. NieA has some deeper undertones though. 

Both contain nonsensical (random) humor. If you like Excel Saga then check out Papuwa. Additionally, English dub voice actors for Hyatt and Ilpalazzo, voice lead characters in Papuwa.
