Similar type of useless main character who shines in the most useless of ways. Semi-harem type. But on top of everything they have the same kind of humor and ways of executing the humor.
Both are light, random and very funny rom-com. While Seto is way more extreme in term of comedy, Baka to Test is light full.
Both animes have similar "stupid and random" humor; a love triangle between the comedic male protagonist, a tsundere, and the cutesy nice girl; a little fantasy (Baka Test has summoned beings while SetoHana has mermaids); and even homo-erotic jokes thrown in to make you laugh, feel awkward, and/or fangirl.
If you were entertained while watching Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, you'll definitely find Seto no Hanayome just as enjoyable and vice versa.
Lots of comedy, each character is unique and main char usually finds himself in "life threatning" situations
Both are really random and posses an extreme level of comedy
Seto much funnier but baka more "gentle"
Great slapstick comedy and use of exaggeration
Same kind of romance-comedy, slapstick jokes and random storyline.
Hilarity guaranteed.
basically very similar characters very similar kind of comedy. both are just as funny (voice actors atleast for english are same)
Exactly the same kind of humor, highly recommended!
Both are Comic animes but have romance as well.
Both will make you laugh a lot in some cases.
Same Slapstick random yet very funny animation style, both a fair amount of action. But if you just want a show you can enjoy you cant go wrong with this.
Both anime are very fast paced and FREAKING HILARIOUS! They never get boring.

If you like Baka to Test, I'm sure you are going to like this one too, as both are comedy/romance at school.
Having a crazy school life? Well... it can't possibly be as crazy as the lives of any of the students in either one of these Anime.
Filled to the brim with stupidity, over the top antics and plenty of randomness; School Rumble and Baka to Test has much to offer, especially in the comedy department.
Baka to Test is for those who like parodies, and the clichés of anime all thrown into one bag and mocked out of.
School Rumble consists of many "short episodes" of gags, as to not bore the viewer whereas Baka to Test has a certain theme or direction of an episode e.g. the classic "Pool Day"
Either way, if you like brainless laughs and just want something over-the-top and insane to watch then try Baka to Test or School Rumble.
Comedy where didiots are involved..actually school rumble has proper idiots and its as funs as baka to test
They both are school comedy type despite not really similar to School Rumble, and School Rumble is way funnier than Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (in my opinion) they both share the same genre
The main characters are dumb and they are both in school. Good Laughs.
similar humor and both my favorite
Idiots, misunderstandings, school based wackiness, and a little interclass warfare too because hell why not.

Slapstick school comedies with lots of ironic humor.
Both shows have similar style of animation and character design (especially main girls characters are similar by appearance). Both of them can be considered like parody on school life with ecchi moments. They have similar kind of humor and in both is also cute male cross-dresser.
Same dementiality, similar characters (the violent girl, the sweet girl, the crossdresser...), both have parodic scenes, but MM! shows them in a more "pervert"way.
Comedies in a high school setting. Both have male lead characters who are at one way or another at the receiving end of things. They also are fond of shy female protagonists (Taro with Arashiko and Yoshii with Himeji).
Characters that are very memorable and funny.
It has a lot of comedy and is the same nonsense style means, the characters are very similar and the art is also very beautiful.
MM! and BakaTest have similar art, similar characters, and the same feelings. MM! is bit more mature, but they're both high school comedies/romances. Pretty funny to watch. If you liked one check out the other.

They're both comedies that make fun of an overused topic (card battles and zombies). And they both have a male character that is used in a female role.
Energetic comedy series that derive some of their humour from parodying other anime. Both have perverted male characters and generous amounts of fanservice. There are plenty of fight scenes in both.
Similar humor, supernatural battles.
The most random things happen and then things just make less and less sense...
Expressive, humorous and interesting, both are things that suck you in using crazy randomness and anything it can throw at you.
Neither of these shows take themselves seriously, They just take a concept and make fun of it in the most hilarious ways they can. along with very entertaining and unique fighting scenes, Both shows do a great job of parodying their genres, With just senseless and random comedy each show throws at you, they are also able to give you a decent narrative when they get serious, Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu seems to do more fleshing out of the characters the Kore wa Zombie desu ka but each have a fun story line with many likeable characters.
-Both are comedies
-Both take place in high school
-Both have battle scenes
-Both have ecchi scenes
-Both have chibi scnes
-Both have a lot of character development

I don't pride myself on making strange recommendations like this one but this time it's actually waranted:
-Both are about a game like system in a school were students fight (Baka and Test is an actual game though and Angel Beats! just has a video game feel).
-Some characters have the same feel and sometimes appearance.
-They deal with a bunch of morons (while more emphasized in Baka and Test, they do call themselves idiots in Angel Beats!)
Note: If you like the humor and characters then one should be a fit for the other but otherwise they're worlds appart.
They both have a group of kids in an exaggerated school setting (one school in the afterlife and one school that has students battle). They're both comedies and both have some romance in them as well. Angel Beats is a little softer on the romance and comedy, and more emotional and deep as well. It really pulls you into the story. Baka to Test on the other-hand is a slapstick comedy that will have you laughing to yourself twenty minutes after you've finished watching an episode. The romance is balanced in well so that you end up loving many of the characters to boot.
When I was watching Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu I taught directly: "This looks like Angel Beats!"
Alltough there's a big difference it's both about a group idiots (be honest, a big part of the SSS are dumbasses) who is starting 'a war'. There are also a few stereotyp characters that you recognise in both series.
I really liked both =D
they are both entertaining and funny.
great animes , lots of fun watching them , never lost interest
While Baka to Test lacks the inspirational excellence of Angel Beats!, it is extremely entertaining. EXTREMELY. I you loved the comedy in Angel Beats!, Baka to Test's comedy is where you want to be.

If you're looking for laughs, look no further.
The comedy between these two are amazingly similar. As soon as i started Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou i immiedeitly thought of Baka to Test.
If you like one be sure to check out the other.
Both are incredibly funny check it out!
Many fun characters, great animation, for those who like anime comedy are great.
both are ridiculous shows about school kids and have great characters that fill their role and land jokes perfectly.
Set mostly in school, both are great comedies, with a lot of characters. They are both crazy, each in its own way.

The main setting for both Anime is a school. There are interactive avatars, more prevalent in one Anime then in the other. The main character is looked down upon in the real world because they happen to not have any ability that allows them to succeed in the real world, but once they get to the "game" they end up being important in some regard.
A virtual world connected to the real world where they fight each other. School is involved with both of them.
In a nutshell, both Baka to Test and Accel World shares a few similarities:
In both series, there is the theme of fantasy action that involves action in another setting/world. While AW takes on a more serious approach, both series presents fantastical action.
Both series main male protagonist are young boys who has a female protagonist interested in them. And of course, he has friends that supports and help him in various circumstances.
Both series has a lot of comedy, gags, and fan-service in the form of beach episodes, dates, etc.
-Weak protagonists.
-half-surreal art style
-funny little twists within a battle
-weaker wins against stronger with intelligence
great animes , lots of fun watching them , never lost interest

Both are probably the most random anime I've ever seen. Great school slice of life comedy, though Baka to Test has some supernatural elements.
Both real funny and random. Takes place in school too.
Both animes take place in school, and has the same sort of random humour, although seitokai no ichizon makes several references to other anime. If you liked one of them, you will probably like the other.
It's the Manga (and now anime) that Nat-chan (Minatsu Shiina) has recommended. Both are comedy.
It's a gag anime with cute girls picking on decently designed and created guy character(s).

Who would think that you could get a serious Anime from either story lines, but somehow the people who came up with the idea for both made it work. There is humor built into the story line too and it is very enjoyable despite the corniness.
They are similar in the fact of having a cute shy main character who ends up in the center of a big competition.
The comedy is fairly similar.
The "weak" protagonist (really, it's just that everyone else is too strong) is often subjected to physical punishment. In Baka Test it's getting his butt handed to him in summoning fights and by tsunderes, while in Ben-To he gets his ass kicked plain and simple... over food. (Don't worry though, they both overcome their underdog status in their own way)
They also both have a sort-of stalker who's weak to romace cliches. A male in BakaTest, a female in Ben-To. Also, they're also both poor, starving students.
The difference is the protagonist of Ben-To isn't "the dumbest idiot around".
Yoshii Akihisa (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu) and You Satou (Ben-to) Have the same Voice Actors (Hiro Shimono)
Both shows fight for one thing that isn't normally fought about (Grades and Half-priced food)
Both have the same Ecchi-like comedy style
The randomness, the action and the comedy go hand in hand with these two shows.
If you like one of them you'll probably like the other

These series have the same brand of humor behind them. If you like gay jokes, cheerful school settings, and light romance, both of these series fit the bill. They're both on Netflix too.
Both are really random and are both parodies. They also both have traps.
In both shows there are very interesting characters, crossdressing, comedy and a bit of romance
Both are ridiculous, over-the-top action packed school-life romantic comedies with a lot of charm and great characters. Baka and Test, at least the anime, is also MUCH more female friendly than most school-life romantic comedies (save for series that are actually tagged as shoujo) as it has a lot of allusions to shoujo manga and anime (CLAMP references, yaoi implications, etc). They both take place at fancy academies and have an air of lavishness about them, although you don't get to see the lavish side nearly as much in Baka and Test because we follow Class F.
great animes , lots of fun watching them , never lost interest . funny moments everywhere

Really similar to each other, mainly by style of drawing.
They are both drawn and animated the same way, giving both anime the same feel. I was instantly reminded of Baka to Test only 5 minutes into C3.
Same art style, different genres.
Almost the same producers of Animation, C³ It has a little of every thing that has Baka, Romance, Comedy, and contains a little more action, but both are good anime! worth checking out.
|
|
|
Both series revolve around a battle game that features chibi characters of the players. Random humour and similar character designs for the main characters.
Similar style of randomness and humor, based around a game. The only difference is Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is much more developed, with more characters and a better setting, and Weiss Survive episodes are really short.
Both are about playing some game where the characters turn chibi. Really similar feel. Though Baka to Test is a lot funnier.
Basically character battling through not so real things and alot of ecchi comedy

They both involve a school system using a sort of summoned beast in combat. They both have several similarities in genre: action and romantic comedy.
Both are comedies (but Baka to Test is a bit insane in a sense when it comes to it's style of comedy), and both have kids that go to an academy where they practice sort of similiar fighting powers. Both have the same love triangle, with a violent tsundere and a super sweet girl going for the same clumsy lead male!
Overall, Baka to Test focuses a bit more on comedy and it doesn't take it's plot too seriously, while Zero no Tsukaima on the other hand does have a comedy aspect, but it also has some very serious and dramatic elements to it. But regardless, they are very similiar in many ways!
Both of these amines have female characters with pink hair. And both find trouble expressing their love for the male protagonist.
Now that I think about it, Mizuki and Louise look a lot alike.

Similar humor,both are random and funny :D, both have a touch of shonen ai between the main characters, similar art.
Both are comedies set in a school scenario. R-15 is more ecchi kind of funny while Baka and Test is more the stupid kind of funny. Both are great, and you should like both of them if you liked one of them.
R-15, a guy with an unusual talent trying to survive this genius academy he goes too with his friends.
Baka to Test a guy being put inside the F class, and is seen as stupid and is trying to prove to the school that tests aren't everything.
They both involve school. One is funny because of "baka", the other one is funny because of "ego"
|

Main characters are very similar. They act weak and get pushed around by women that like them. There is also some cross dressing and random humor.
If you liked the first series of Hayate no Gotoku but didn't like the second, you will almost certainly love Baka to Test. The same frantic energy and well-timed parody of other anime shine in both series.
Fun and humorous. Great comedies with romance elements.

Both protagonist have extremely annoying screechy voices when they overreact.
So if you like to torture yourself (Darn, you masochists..) Go check it out..
The protagonists are both unique in their own way and their persistence plays a great role when they must overcome tough obstacles (and they're both voiced by the same seiyuu for those that care).
Both anime's are more comedy driven, not really putting a lot of focus on a main story line but they still do have a general plot or objective to follow. In Baka's case it would be Class F trying to become the best in the school and in KamiNomi they are tracking down and capturing all the loose souls.
Similar violent humor. Same bow. Same dealing with everyday life issues in fantastic way.

Well, gintama is random and parody on several animes and Baka test is random and a parody on several animes too and they are both funny, (in other ways though)! Gintama is sometimes a bit more serious than this one, but that's the only difference. I recommend both of them!
Great characters, good use of parody for comedic effect
Both series are funny in a myriad of ways.
|
|
|
Battles between classes.
The best is Class S (Maji de) and Class A (Baka).
The worst class is Class F.
Classes fight battles, but Maji's story makes way less sense.
both the main team are class F team.
both have strong girls .
both have intelligent character.
both have strategic planning and fighting.
both have one pervert .
both the main characters are cool.
both are Comedy, Romance, School, Super Power genre.
both have same feel while watching.

They very much remind me of each other, not because their humor is very similar but because they have the same way of spitting at klichés. They both deviate from what is "classic" anime comedy, and both does so brilliantly.
Both take place in the school, the drawing style of the backgrounds is quite similar, though the humour is different.
I'm not sure if you enjoyed Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu then you will enjoy SZS and vice versa, but if you like school and comedy, i'm pretty sure you'll like them both.
Although th comedy is very different the way that most that characters are based of stereotypes makes these both a good anime to watch for a laugh.
|
|
|
Both series has a lot of comedy in them, both has a "baka" character in them, one of the main characters has someone liking him and he/she doesn't realize it(kana&fujioka, akhisa&himeji), both has school in them, and main characters in both are living withought their parents.
If you like comedy, and like one of the series, you should enjoy the other one.
Both are ridiculously hilarious.
|
|
|
Crazy randomness, awesome battle scenes, romance (?), cute trap character, and more crazy randomness.
Random, and a lot of it.....
Comedy, action, tad bit of romance and a lot of randomness!
|
|
|
it is also about school life but there turnover is the male is much more better than female i am not yet done finishing baka to test to shoukanjuu but their similar and also it has sam genes
Just the little fact that Special A is about the most talented pupils in the High School who gets an amazing luxuary classroom. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is just the contrairy. The main characters are 'class F' the worst pupils from High School who get's an awful classroom with cardboard boxes instead of desks.
|
|
|
Both are too funny and both take place in a school
Actually its for all the "Baka to Test" series but just for: Episode 2 and Episode 3
Because these two episodes include:
School
Comedy (sort of)
War
Strategy
Action
Absurdness
|
|
|
Both are hilarious school life animes with romantic comedy involved. Toradora is more serious during some critical situations, but is still light hearted most of the time. If you like comedy, don't miss out on either of these shows!
funny animes with fun all aaround
|
|
|
Ookami and BakaTest have the same brand of funny, character-driven humor and romance as well as a large cast of characters that fit the general anime stereotypes. Each series has it's own tsundere, loli, bishounen, ect.
It has similar content romance, comedy, and action wise. Baka to Test is a nice mix of those three genres, but also includes an interesting love triangle.
|
|
|
Both series provides great laughs for comedy lovers
There both tremendously funny. Both have similar characteristics, such as: the protagonist is an idiot, girls tend to fall in love with these idiots, both have crude humor.
|
|
|
Both anime are slapstick comedies with a touch of ecchi. To make it short, if you enjoyed light anime such as B Gata H Kei, you'll mostly probably like Bake to Test to Shoukanjuu as well, and vice versa.
Awesome! Both onime could be called "The new word in onime production". Why? 1. Comedy 3. School. 4. strange, but interesting theme 5. modern 6. original 7. perfect characters 8. romantic ... Where is "2" ? I don't know! it's unknown element, very secret and very amazing %)
|
|
|
Main male character gets beat up a lot
They both are really funny anime to watch. There isn't a big story in it, so it's easy to follow; you could watch episodes randomly because there isn't really a line in it, but there is so much comedy in both!
|
|
|
comedy genre and likable characters,
|
|
|
It's hilarious in a different way
|
|
|
Both pretty eechi.
Hilarious and just at a point drama comes in.
Who likes who...0_o
Pretty girls perverted guy.
I bet if you like baka to test to shoukanjuu you will love this anime.
|
|
|
Both have:
-Tsundere female lead (somewhat)
-Stupid/Pervert male lead
-Very fun to watch
-Lot of comedy
I recommend watching this very much if you liked Love Hina!
|
|
|
- Same Animation Production.
- Both series are School and Comedy Themed.
- Both series have an Uncommon specific topic, in Baka is summon test game, in Kokoro is body switching.
|
|
|
Both are romantic school comedies featuring a kind protagonist, the colours used and art style are very similar.
|
|
|
great animes , lots of fun watching them , never lost interest
|
|
|
Both are set mainly in a school environment and both focus on comedy.
|
|
|
Some of the humor is similar. Both short and funny comedies who don't fall into heavy fanservice, though Magikano is more suggestive than Baka to Test.
|
|
|
While Clannad is considered extremely emotional by many people, I find first season to be quite hilarious. The really sad/emotional scenes are in After Story. Clannad, like Baka to test, is about school life with comedy involved. If you like comedy with a little more drama involved be sure to check out Clannad
|
|
|
The pictures is kinda similar to mitsudomoe. It`s about school life and they behave a little similar to the kids in mitsudomoe.
|
|
|
It's impossible to look at Baka and Test without thinking of To-Love-Ru. A bit of harem going on, and the girl the guy likes even looks like LaLa.
|
|
|
-The main character who somewhat always gets teased by his friends
-School life-comedy anime
-A little romance
-Always put you in a good mood~
|
|
|
the main characters are both clueless, about the girls that like them it's also a great laugh with similar problems.
|
|
|
This is similar in a sense, but instead of using test scores to fight, you use money to fight.
|
|
|
Seemingly normal schools but with a supernatural/abnormal twists.Baka to test is more of a comedy while Hidan no Aria is more of a Action.
|
|
|
Both include the totally knows nothing about love guy. Both in a F.M.F love triangle, except told by a different gender protangist. But other parts are really different...
|
|
|
It's a rather fun show about a idiot and his friends having a strange life. The only difference, its in a school that worries more about grades then people sometimes.
|
|
|
These two shows include their main male character possibly ending up with either of the two main female characters in a romantic relationship.
|
|
|
The art and character designs in both shows are gorgeous. Perhaps this is no coincidence because the animation studio Silver Link is credited for both shows.
Additionally, both shows fall under the genres of comedy, school, romance, and harem.
The comedy in Baka and Test is elite and the writing is sharp. The same thing can't be said about Onii-chan Dakedo. However, the latter is generally funny but occasionally suffers from inconsistent and tepid writing.
Also each Anime has a sister with a major brother complex and their over-the-top behavior produces hilarious results.
|
|
|
The comedy is voluminous and robust. Both shows are the epitome of laugh out loud humor.
|
|
|
Both have a similar sense of humour, playing around with the most common Moe patterns all the while not taking themselves seriously. Both series are short, which gives them a more dynamic feel than other lenghier titles, but do not rush, since they have to give enough time for the jokes, obscure references and bizarre character choices to sink in. Overall, both are extremelly enjoyable series.
|
|
|
It's similar in the sense of the character attitudes and mannerisms, even though the plot is completely different.
|
|
|
Action with abit of love and drama in it
|
|
|
Lot of comedy, school life, really funny XD
|
|
|
While KimiAru focuses on butlers and maids and BakaTest is a high school setting, I found both to have similar humor. If you found one funny, you're likely to enjoy the other. Both series have a similar length (~13 eps) with quickly developing paces. Both series also focus on social standing (the master-servant relationship in KimiAru and improving one's service skills, while the constant struggle of the idiots in Class F to be treated seriously by those in higher academic levels).
Sometimes, there are parodies (BakaTest has a very funny Evangelion episode, KimiAru pokes fun at Death Note), sometimes the humor is character trait-based... But both are enjoyable comedies.
|
|
|
Both titles become random comedy for the middle portion of the series, while having generally uninteresting "story" portions at the beginning and end. The random comedy is what makes both shows worth watching.
|
|
|
chibi characters and both is cute romance
|
|
|
Both are very hilarious and revolves around a funny male character
|
|
|
both anime are filled with baka people XD but they are both entertaining.
|
|
|
Both shows deal with underdog teams competing against prestigious factions in various games to regain power, and also has a similar comedic atmosphere.
|
|
|
Co-director of Negima!? is the director of Baka... Both use similar kind of jokes.
|
|
|
They both involve a school separating students into rankings of sorts, and they both include action scenes and romance undertones.
|
|
|
In both serials there are lots of satire on the other anime (on NGE for exaple)
I laughed for a long time, honestly :)
|
|
|
both have traps, and similar setting and comedy
|
|
|
Even though this animes have nothing a like it just that some characters are similar like
Himeji/ Kotonoha= both are super cute, shy big chested girls with a horrible cooking
Minami/ Sekai= both are tomboyish, flat chested girls (who complains about it) but are good at cookings.
Himeji and Minami/ Sekai and Kotonoha= are really good friends but they are both in love with the same guy.
On both animes there is a pool episode. Both have ecchi. Although baka to test is more comedy and school days is more drama.
|
|
|
Ecchi. Comedy.
Baka to Test is more random though.
|
|
|
The protagonists for both show look kinda similar, both pretty perverted, have two girls that like them (but oblivious to that fact), and special in a way.
|
|
|
Both animes have superpower
There is ecchi, harem in both
both their schools are weird
The male character is dumb who is not aware of girls feelings for him
Both animes girl like male lead one girl being his childhood friend and the other girl is strongest in school
|
|
|
Different content, similar presentation with all these weird angles and random chibis ....
(Uhm, Pani Poni Dash had content ?)
|
|
|
Both shows made me laugh!
|
|
|
School life comedy;
two pretty girls are in love with protagonist;
boy who loves cross-dressing xD
|
|
|
Both TV series have basically the same idea - a group of outcasts (in BakaTest it is Class F, while in KoiChoko it is a "useless" club) trying to fight for their rights and make the situation better.
|
|
|
it also somewhat random and has a love story but this show has some ecchi parts but it is very funny.
|
|
|
For one reason, both have the most popular traps in anime!
|
|
|
Pretty much Love yet no action
|
|
|
Simple no action drama and love
|
|
|
Two girs one with big boobs and another with nothing. the only difference is that the main one on goshuushou-sama is stronger while the other is a idiot
|
|
