Buddy Daddies

The basic concepts are definitely similar. Both shows feature an unconventional family dynamic made up of two adults in dangerous fields of work (spies and assassins) who end up adopting daughters and the comedy elements revolve around these dangerous people trying to navigate parenthood. I feel like Spy x Family is more suited to those who prefer more ridiculous comedic elements and Buddy Daddies is more suited to people who prefer comedy that's a little more grounded. Buddy Daddies is a grittier show with considerably darker moments and themes at times but both are brilliantly funny and surprisingly wholesome. If you want a sweet family story with a little grit thrown in then both of these are good choices. read more 

A gansters story, cute little girl, paternity… if you like this subjects, these both series will be of your like. However, just remember that the tone of both is completely different: Kumichou is almost full slice of life, while Buddy Daddies is action and comedy. 

Storywise the two animes differ a bit (one about detectives and the other about hitmen), but the characters give off the same vibe - a duo team that works together and gives the audience a good laugh. The music and animation are similar too, they both have a bright atmosphere and scenes that are full of life. 

Main characters involved in organised crime, end up as guardians of a young girl, try to protect her from their unwholesome line of work. 

Primary adult cast involved with the mafia. Also have lots of gun fights and espionage. 

Both are crime stories (in a variety of infiltration, heists and spionage jobs) with (mostly) adult cast and lots of comedy and action. VERY similar animation, direction and music. 

Both series revolve around a child and people without blood relations who take care of the them. Both series are heart warming, though Buddy Daddies is a lot more cheery compared to Kotarou wa Hitorigurashi's realistic setting.  

two male housemates, unlikely friends - one being sombre and the other upbeat and aloof, must keep their relationship alive throughout surprisingly drastic circumstances while keeping the girl they know safe from they're less-than-favorable lifestyle as she (however unknowingly) keeps them both from the brink by being the much needed ray of innocence and consistency in their lives. as for the shows themselves, they're both (almost) the same length (buddy daddies - 12 eps and link click - 11 eps), and they're both original stories. 

Before you ask me, yes it’s kind of unusual that I’m comparing a romance harem anime with a child caretaking action thrilling anime because they play differently from each other. But I did see the deeper connection between these two that probably catch my eyes onto those. They are original animes, meaning they do not come from the manga before the first chapters of the manga were released. The main characters that are males have a hard time understanding of what love is for them and how to feel love. They even have flashbacks of how their first love died and how reality can really be harsh for them. So to compare Miri and the 5 Ais, which are Aoi, Amelia, Karin, Illya and Mongfa, they bring out the joy to the main characters in anyway to make them feel happy and it gives them a reminder of the male main character’s past. They also tell them about moving on and starting a new life and forget the painful past they have seen. The male main characters also have the feel of depression when Miri and the 5 Ais left them if it’s not only the death of their previous loved ones. They do comeback, however to see them because they miss the male characters when we’re talking about those who left for a while. They also play or bother the male characters which annoyed them until they get used to it. They sometimes are being hunted down by any generic antagonists that may take away the only reminder to the male characters or hunting down the male characters. The Male characters also protect the 5 Ais or Miri when it comes to danger for them. The male characters also make the one final promise to engage that one final moment for them before things started to change or fade away. While both have similar similarities with action, comedy and SoL, the only difference is that Renai Flops is more on ecchi, while Buddy Daddies are more on gore. They still have wholesome moments either right now or again, in the past. No matter if they are mystical, Ai, a child or an opposite gender, any characters like them will always love and cherish. First time seeing a comparison of two different genre animes like this? Welcome aboard.  read more 

A cute wholesome show that made me forget my problems for a while! 10/10 

Both show has three main characters. All of them are almost similar, except for buddy daddies. It is lot more dark but starts out as a some-what light hearted one but the gear shifts with each episode. On the other hand, Spy X Family is a family friendly, light hearted, comedic and drama. 

it's just funny and chill and genre and I love both of them! 

The art style and character designs really remind of the Great Pretender. And the way the characters interact and move. It's like if the Great Pretender fused with Spy x Family.  

You can call me crazy whatever you want, because you’re gonna be asking me something like “why am I comparing a Moe fantasy anime with a child-caretaking / action thrilling anime?”or “How do they play similarily from each other?” I’ll give you a very deeper explanation to that. Recommendations aren’t really just when they look the same but it comes with what’s the quality of it. Alright, so Yuuki and Miri are alike when it comes to just being innocent characters and they happened to be in a threatening territory where they might get harmed. Kokkoro, Karyl and Pecorine are always protecting Yuuki in any danger and it always gives them a reminder of how it feels to be with him. The same thing goes for Kazuki and Rei when protecting Miri in any danger and it just felt like the only treasure they can experience after they get used in being with her. Sure these two are annoyed and the three I mentioned previously, they weren’t annoyed. The only annoyed among those three is Karyl. Kokkoro and Pecorine are sometimes aware or frightened when they see Yuuki in danger. Kazuki is also like them. Rei is on a neutral side because it just depends on what it is for him. The difference is that Yuuki can be attacked but doesn’t feel pain while Miri doesn’t get harmed or attacked. Just sometimes held hostage. Kazuki and Rei along with Kokkoro, Pecorine and Karyl are always the babysitters when it comes to watching over Yuuki and Miri. read more 

Both feature strong themes of found family. Lonely people coming together and becoming an unconventional, close-knit family. Sophie and Kazuki are responsible figures that are the back-bone of their new families. They both help others heal. Sophie cares for Howl and his apprentice Marco. Kazuki does the same for Rei and Miri. Both titles also have cleaning and cooking.  

Buddy Daddies and Gangsta have similarities in story and characters. Story: The story revolves around a city with high crime activities. Both involve conflicts between Gangsters/Mafia. Characters: The main characters from both anime work by eliminating their targets (assassins/gangsters) They work as a team and live under the same roof. They also have similar dynamics: - Worick (Gangsta) and Kazuki (Buddy Daddies) are womanizers. - Nico (Gangsta) and Rei (Buddy Daddies) are calmer than the formers, and really skilled when it comes to their job. Differences: - Buddy Daddies sets on a more modern city compared to Gangsta. - Buddy Daddies tries to balance between slice of life and action, while Gangsta focused more on action. If you enjoyed one, you might like the other. read more 

Various life circumstances connect two guys who seem different and unable to change. Chased by the mafia, involved in crime, and a corrupted society the two find friendship, people they hold dear, and new experiences that allow them to change.  

Main male characters from these show are pretty similar. - A blonde who are popular with girls. - And a black haired hikikomori who like to spent all night doing their hobbies. Their world changed after they meet the 3rd main character, which is a girl. 

In Buddy Daddies, two men adopt a little girl and take care of her. In Usagi Drop also, a man adopts a girl and takes care of her. 

Both shows themes of found family, parenthood, finding a home, and healing from trauma. Both shows have male characters growing into their role happily as a new adoptive parent.  

Both anime explore the themes of "found families" and feature societal outcasts taking care of children cast aside by their parents. Both of these anime could also put you in the Christmas Spirit as the first and last arcs of Buddy Daddies are set at Christmas and Tokyo Godfathers takes place on Christmas Eve.  

Powerful criminal men excelling at the domestic side of life. One is a house husband, the other two become parents. Lots of beautiful food.
