Both shows follow young people wanting to become animators, making anime. Both shows give a chance to look into anime-making while having great humour.

- It's a very creative anime - The animation is very original and a lot of fun - The characters are very unique and have very distinct roles - It's very shounen centered, and has a school air although it doesn't happen at a school explicitly - Imaginative, lets the viewer think and imagine freely

Both anime focuses on main characters trying to follow their passion in the arts where Eizouken is trying to make anime and Bakuman is trying to make manga. Both anime delves into the details of the trials and challenges of making their passion become a reality. Eizouken is a bit more dreamworld-like with a stronger focus on friendship and growing up while Bakuman has a stronger focus on romance and inter-personal relationships. Bakuman has pretty cool storyline-ceptions, it makes you want to read the mangas that the main characters come up with while Eizouken is very kind to show you the finished product at the  read more

Both shows involve a protagonist with a lofty goal, and the group of people she ropes in to help make the dream a reality. The series' revolve around how they can achieve and realize the goal, along with the antics the groups get into along the way. They both have a sense of adventure (though Sora yori more so) and and have theme of youthful hope and achievement.

They are both anime about a creative group of rather unusual girls. I think they are interesting/ intended for the same kind of people, that want to see how female characters come out of their shell and do something that amazes other people. For me, both needed some time to grow on me.

The main similarity here is the sketchy but intentional art style and feel, as well as the very detailed world design. Tekkon Kinkreet is far more psychological and darker than Eizouken, but both have very elaborate and imaginative worlds. I often wanted to pause and just take in the details of the backgrounds, as there are many times where it would be impossible to pick up on everything the first time around.

While not having a storyline similarities, I'm sure fans of Eizouken will be entertained by watching Shinkai too - as with Eizouken it's filled with with awesomely animated shots of beautifuly designed world fueled by fantasy. And with some anime girls thrown in such world, of course.

The whole vibe coming from Asakusa made me remember Dennou Coil almost immediately, despite the topics of the shows are kinda different, they still have many things in common. I was surprised when I didn't find Masaaki Yuasa in Dennou coil staff

While those two shows are overall pretty different (Yuru Camp is very laid-back, relaxed and light-hearted while Eizouken is very energetic, over-the-top and at the same time adressing the characters' struggles in a funny yet also quite serious manner), they still have some similarities I noticed since the first episode. -Both shows are about high school girls who have been reunited through their passion for a particular activity (camping for Yuru Camp and animation for Eizouken) -In both shows, we follow the characters as they work for their club -Both heroines (Nadeshiko Kagamihara and Asakusa Midori) are very energetic and pratically living for their passion,  read more

In depth on the inner makings of Anime for Eizouken. Similar with cosplay/costume-design for Dress-Up Darling. Both explore the makings and day-to-day of their respective hobbies. Both give a digestible exploration of each medium for anyone open/curious to either. Also, similarities between main characters Midori/(Eizouken) and Gojo/(Dress-Up), both being non-social, kind of hiding from the world because of their extreme interest in their respective hobbies, but because of that makes them very exemplary in their craft.

Niche interests. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken and Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater both follows a small group of girls associated with clubs that revolve around a niche activity. Eizouken being anime making, Breakwater being fishing. Similar characters too with the somewhat manipulative people: moneymaker Kanamori and club leader Kuroiwa. Both are good anime with Eizouken being a great adventure, whilst Breakwater is more of cgdct.

Art. Art is a monumental topic in human history, being responsible for the many visual pleasures that currently exist, such a field of study takes young ones a trip, a grand trip into the vast ocean of everything art, animation, sculptures, paintings, you name it. Such captivated individuals co-exist within Eizouken and Nihon Ekaki. This idea that one will take art to become a life passion has never been beautifully represented like the two anime currently recommended. The actual drag by hand Eizouken trips the viewer into, understanding the mental process of imagination from our trio of girls. Nihon Ekaki, instead, showcasing life in the raw flesh,  read more

Both are shows about the trials and joy that can be found in creative media, anime in the case of eizouken and radio for nami. Both also gain much of their attraction from their casts of interesting characters. The most obvious difference comes from the characters as well: while eizouken's protagonists are high schoolers, nami's are young adults in the working world, giving the shows substantially different tones.

The power of creation and its power in animation is simply unfathomable. It goes far and wide, bringing enjoyment, teaching new things, and changing lives. It's incredible. This is the love letter, simply reiterating what makes this medium so good. The people behind the scenes, simply putting their skills into amplification for further uses. Take Eizouken for a full TV anime compared to the reminder that is Sakugasaku, an MV.

A lot of what goes into Eizouken is directly inspired by SoreMachi. There's a three hour discussion you can watch in Japanese between Oowara Sumito and Ishiguro Masakazu on the former's channel, the writers of each of these shows' respective manga, which goes into more detail. Even without knowing this, watching one then the other should make evident some of the themes that the two share in locations, characters, jokes, and designs. Even if the stories aren't too similar, the way they navigate through them are.

Anime about a group of girls who are in a school club together where they create and sell amateur anime-related products. Eizouken is more about making short anime where Genshiken Nidaime is about BL doujinshi. We see the characters go through the development process of their works.

Slice of life content about adolescence and friendships that is good.

Both of the series are similar because of the creativity and slightly mecha While Sakugan is a bit more adventurous and unrealistic, Eizouken is light hearted, funny, and about school girls creating anime together.

Eizouken is about three girl trying to make an animation in school. Focuses a lot on the process like Blue period, but also includes beautiful scenes where they are transported to their set designs. Eizouken is more relaxed and just about the girls working on their project together and not the stresses of exams.

The short anime as well as the active imaginations of the characters in Eizouken are very reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films, especially Nausicaa. The desert-esque city settings with old fashioned weaponry are present in both in one way or another. They both also have female leads.

Experts. Surprisingly similar Eizouken and Dr Stone both have similar characters and start points. Experts in a particular field (science and animation) and mentalists type characters who use underhanded tricks to get what they want. Although Dr Stone is about humans getting turned into stone. Eizouken is about making anime. But all these characters have to start from scratch in their journey. Both are good comedy anime, though Dr Stone is sci-fi compared to Eizouken's s.o.l

Same director, both are about people doing what they are passionate about in their teenage years and both have that kind of quirky make you think plot. Overall if you like Eizouken you will probably like Ping Pong. It isn't as upbeat though.

Anime production, in-depth! showing deep production of how anime made, by students. While Animegataris is messier and comedy focused, but Eizouken is more of a serious matter on how anime production works.

Genshiken is about an anime-manga-viewers university club, and Eizouken is the-making-of-Daicon-III but setted in a school club. I think they are similar beacuse both series have the otaku essence and a lot of references to many anime, movies and people who work in this industry.

Both Windy Tales and Eikouzen take advantage of a unique aesthetic, and in some ways the feeling of the two shows are very similar, though who knows if Windy Tales served as inspiration or not. Eikouzen in particular seems to have some kind of fondness or nostalgia for the sentimentality and atmosphere of certain anime in the mid-2000s and Windy Tales is situated firmly in that time period. Anyone who is enjoying Eikouzen will probably find Windy Tales also enjoyable for its aesthetic.

Eizouken and Mob Psycho are pretty different in terms of tone and subject matter, but where they both shine is in their animation. The teams of both have a clear passion for and deep respect of art and animation, and give unique spins to their styles to accentuate different aspects. Eizouken's sketchy sequences which blend imagination and reality are breathtakingly beautiful and extremely fun, while MP100 uses techniques like paint-on-glass to capture an ethereal and otherworldly vibe. Humor is pretty similar for both series. Often, they will take "realistic" set-ups and exaggerate them for the sake of comedy, while still maintaining a down-to-earth feeling and sincere  read more

Both anime focuses on main characters trying to follow their passions where Eizouken is trying to make anime and Sakura-sou are about individuals living in an apartment each trying to strive for their dreams. Both anime delves into the details of the trials and challenges of making their passion become a reality. Sakura-sou is a bit more feelsy and for an older audience compared to Eizouken which is more dreamworld-like with a stronger focus on friendship and growing up.

Wacky animations, imaginative ideas, and a sense of childlike wonder. If any of these things appeal to you, then look no further than these two. They both give off a similar vibe, being directed by Yuasa. They are generally very jolly, with some of the best facial expressions in anime. The music really helps with the atmosphere as well. They both have a good balance of comedy, contemplative moments, and light drama, but nothing too heavy. If you want to watch something that reminds you of a dream-filled childhood, you can't go wrong with either.

A world of unlimited innovative possibilities are realized by passionate girls who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals through various club activities for successful short and long-term projects. Whether its creating original animation from scratch or a tree house, the way in which the creative design process from brainstorming to finished product is reached is both satisfying and wholesome in these two self-motivated anime not to mention the inspiring character dynamics.

At face value, these seem very different - one is a full series while the other is only six minutes long. However, the jist is the same - the characters' imagination is drawn out in front of them and they build the worlds in which they adventure themselves. In Jumping, you don't actually see the MC on screen, as it is shot in first person. Both animes are also directed by anime legends - Jumping's Osamu Tezuka and Eizouken's Masaaki Yuasa. Both animes are also incredibly beautiful and are all about setting.

Trio. Although Minami-ke and Eizkouen have their major differences, both do follow a trio of girls in their lives together filled with funny and interesting moments to spare. Minami-ke does that with the Minami sisters daily lives, Eizouken does this with the Eizouken club forming in order to create an anime as a goal. Both are pretty funny s.o.l comedy anime I would give a go, I recommend Eizouken more but Minami-ke is still pretty funny in it's own right. Another thing to add is that Eizouken does have a main goal to it compared to a semi-episodic Minami-ke. All in all, a fun trip with both.

The most passionate. Eizouken and Chuunibyou both follow extremely passionate MCs with a real eager attitude presented towards what they love. Though plots differ, Eizouken's Asakusa and Chuunibyou's Rikka are both inspired by interested in anime and chuunibyous respectively, so much so that they both take up the adventure of spending time doing what they love for a bigger goal at hand. Both anime are very good comedies with Eizouken being dubbed the love letter to anime, whilst Chuunibyou questions the difference between delusions and reality.

Both are "anime about making anime" with a "yes we can" spirit to make this complex process happen. Eizouken has emphasis on the creative and artistic process and juvenile protagonists, where Kuromi-chan focuses on the industry and features young adult professionals. Both shows have a positive world view, fast pace, and uplifting message. In both, most protagonists have some odd personality traits considered typical for otaku.

One of the reason that people have praised Eizouken is the imagination sequences of Midori Asakusa as she is storyboarding an anime with her anime club. Hinata no Aoshigure's climatic ending is an imagination sequence from Hinata who wants to confess to a classmate. Asakusa and Hinata love drawing and have socializing problems so their imagination becomes an escape.

Both shows are similarly built in abstract worlds that pull you in at first glance. They grasp the feel of unimaginable places, drawings, and...well...imagination. With unpredictably hilarious characters, I believe both shows can grasp your heart in many ways.

Do you like watching teenagers that have found their calling? Eizouken showed us girls who loves creating anime and that formed a band, just like guys from Beck did. Both shows are about young people who start as no-names and their road to success. That feeling of making something grand and special is focal point for both Eizouken and Beck.

Eromanga Sensei has a big harem sex whatever thing going on, but in the end it still has a whole second plot story going on about a writer writing, and an artist arting. It explores interests with interesting characters, which Eizouken does as the main focus of the show.

A real passion. My Hero Academia and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken has quite similar characters, being, Midoriya and Asakusa. Both characters have gained inspiration from something they have loved, MHA with Midoriya being superheroes. Eizouken with Asakusa being anime. These characters go out of their way to expand on this dream with their classmates in hopes of reaching higher levels. Though plots aren't similar, both are good school comedy, with MHA being full of action and Eizouken being about creating anime.
