Similar plot, art, androphobic girl and good-but-unlucky main male character makes it almost identical.
Working bar ... MM club same vocie actors , woman with men phobia ... dominant women and the same feeling.
They have the same atmosphere. Some characters and relationchips are so alike. If you like MM! you'll like Working! too :)
Androphobic heroine. Also main protagonist wants to help the heroine get rid off this mental issue.
androphobic highschool girl and highschool guy who tries to cure her.
Both are about a boy that gets abused by women. Both also have a girl that suffers from androphobia.
Characters design look similar
Yuno and Inami's personality are nearly the same
There're cross-dressing in both
The main character's similar in the way that they both have the same voice actors and weird fetishes. There's also girls inside who are afraid of men. Comedy style is similar and so is the atmosphere

Both slice of life anime with similar humour and pace. If you like one i suppose you would like the other
Atmosphere. Character design. Comedy. Light-heartedness. Characters with strange and interesting personalities. That's all I can really say.
They are both slice-of-lice anime. Characters in both anime are such a "character," and you can predict how they will interact in certain situations. Both anime have relaxing atmosphere.
Same art style, animation. Random personalities and lighthearted comedy. when i watched very first episode its remind me Minami-ke. both are very good series.
Both anime series have an element of comedy and randomness in the episodes, following the daily lives of the characters and their relationships with each other. Both have a similar pacing: comfortable, without any fast pacing. Minami-ke basically focuses on the three sisters while Working!! on the part time workers at Waqnaria. In both all the characters have varied personalities with defining features. The visuals are also similar with both having bright colours.
If you like one then it is highly probably you'll like the other as well.
very funny, revolves around several main characters and doesn't really follow a set storyline

Both of these slice-of-life Anime deal with the working class. Working!! takes on a more comedic look, while Hanasaku takes on a more realistic life approach. Either way, the work force is looked at and serious issues are handled, albeit one in a serious manner, and the other in a more comedic manner.
in both, the main character gets a job in the first episode and has to learn the ways of the work place. they both work in the waiting staff, even though one is from a restaurant and the other an inn. both animes also has a slice of life feel with a dose of love drama.
Both are slice of life stories about working in a customer-based environment.
But Working!! emphasises on employee humor (think Office Space or Fast Food Nation) whereas Hanasaku Iroha is more drama-based.
However, Working!! is still a good series if you liked HanaIro.
although working is more of a comedy and hanasaku iroha is more slice of life, there are many different characters and both are enjoyable.
Both animes about life of main characters in the working environment, but Working!! is more a comedy, whereas Hanasaku is slice of life and drama.

Working!! is very similar to K-ON! in art style, expressions, and character types. The two share the common ground of being slice of life and taking place in an everyday setting.
If you liked K-ON!, then you'll like Working!! Both are slice of life and Working!! can be moe at times.
Both are as pointless as it gets, but they are cute as they are pointless however. One is about a slice of life story about people working in a restaurant, and the other is a about a gaggle of high school girls drinking tea when they should be playing music. I guarantee if you like one, you'll like the other.
If your watching K-on!!, watch Working!! to see many funny stuff like what you see in K-on!!, but this time, its all about Drama, Young Life and of course Comedic fun! See similar characters like the reversal of Mio being tall and Taneshima being Short! So enjoy!

Both of these Anime deal with following a particular job and the ups and downs. Except, the characters involved are not your average person, they all have various personalities with quirks in them.
Similar character design and animation from A-1 Pictures, both shows have considerable amount of slice-of-life part besides the professions, idol-singers and restaurant-staff respectively, the shows deal with.
- One of iM@S's character, Yukiho, had a fear of men, the same as Inami from Working!!.
- Both anime has a quite similar artwork.

Even though 'Working!!' has barely started, it reminds me greatly of 'Toradora!'. Both feature tiny female leads, forward (sometimes violent) female characters, and slice-of-life comedy.
I just think both of these animes are CUTE, FUNNY, and ADORABLE!
If you liked Working!!, Toradora! in my opinion would also be excellent for you to watch!
Also, they both have explanation points (!) at the end of their titles XD
the quirkiness of the characters in both series struck me. Toradora centers around school life and follows a set story line, has some gripping drama near the end and has a clear conclusion. Working!! on the other hand doesn't have a plot, or a conclusion and revolves around the workers at a family restaurant. It is much more random and focuses on comedy (althought i thought Toradora was just as humors). Toradora's Ryuuji inherited his serial killer father's scary looks, Working's Satou also has a scary look but both are nice guys under their scary exterior. Ryuuji's mother's and Working's Kozue (Takanashi's older sister) were really similar characters. Ryuuiji and Takanshi are both the responsible members of their households and naturally take on the responsibility of cleaning and cooking. Ryuuji's getting beat up by Tiga was sort of similar to Takanshi betting beaten up by Inami. Both these male characters do not appreciate getting beaten up but still take it well and end up supporting the female character instead of running away. Both Toradora's Tiga and Working Popura are short doll looking characters. Tiga's personality, however is alot closer to Kyouko demanding of food, cold face, and gangster violence attitude. Last, think Toradora's Ami's personality fits well as an older more mature sister to Working's Yamada in looks and manipulation of other characters. Finally, in both anime's the character's Ruuiji and Inami have to escape the negative impact their currently absent fathers had on their lives. Both anime's talk about on the importances of past events on present situations.

Both shows involve a small group of people, each having their own quirk or strange behavior.
Also, both shows are hilarious!
Different people with different personalities adds up to one funny story, and thats what these two anime is about.
both have similar comedy
there's strange people in them which makes the main characters a bit shocked
when they meet them

Both have their main focus on different/unique/strange characters and both have a rather bizarre sense of humor.
They are both based off of 4- panel comics!!! They both have a fun a crazy feel to them. Both have a character for pretty much everything.
Besides the fact that both of these series are based off a four panel manga, they both also share a very laid back kind of humor. Both are very easy to watch title for new and old anime fans alike.

Working!! is pretty much Durarara!! except that it takes place in a family restuarant. :D Three of the seiyuus from DRRR (Jun Fukuyama aka Shinra, Daisuke Ono aka Shizuo, and Hiroshi Kamiya aka Izaya) play very similar personalities in Working!! Seriously. It's like the slice-of-life version of Durarara.
Both are very funny and have very strange char! We can laugh a lot watching just one charpter of Drrrr! or Working. I love them!
Although i have only seen one episode of Working!! i must say that similar characters have the same voice (Souta and Shinra ) :D It's like watching Izaya and Shizou from DRRR working together in a cafe.

Comedy, no clear plot line with a focus on the daily life and interactions of the characters, attractive visuals are some of the aspects both these anime share. Kaichou wa maid-sama has a much slower pacing than Working and might, at times, be rather tiring. The former focuses on the two main characters, Misaki (student council president) and Usui Takumi and their evolving relationship. The other characters are not really given much attention nor are they well developed, though this may apply to the main characters as well. Nonetheless it is fun to watch - a little at a time. Working's characters are more important for the series, and are more interesting and varied. Sometimes there may be too much repetition in their actions but that is also, in a way, its charm: its just the daily life, mostly unchanging. I'd rate Workng higher than Kaichou (mostly because of the characters) but both are enjoyable if watched in moderation (watching several episodes together might be very tiring).
umm Both of stories talk about working in a restaurant , and I like Both of them ^^"

Similar atmosphere, both takes place at restaurant and both have simmilar character types. Though Ramen Fighter Miki is a parody and Working is a comedy I think they are very similar.
It is ery funny animes. Cafe.

Poplar and Tenma are a lot alike, both are small and cute. Also, both are comedy/slice of life animes with many funny characters and some with strange habits.
Both Working and School Rumble have a similar 'atmoshphere' - comedy,random episodes without any real plot (this is more true of 'Working' which is similar to 'Minami-ke' in this respect), peculiar characters and their interrelations. School rumble's characters are a group of students while Working!!'s are the part time workers at Wagnaria. The latter is much more slow paced than the former but that does not really hurt the series's enjoyment. Both have bright and colorful visuals. If you liked one then you will probably enjoy the other as well. Personally I enjoyed Working more than School Rumble.

I think they got similar atmosphere ... Like seitokai no ichizon is in this council room and Working!! is in family restaurant. There are also similar characters like Tanashima is similar to Kurimu or Sugisaki is similar to Takanashi ... in their own way. Also has other characters which are alike.
Both have to majority of the series taking place at one location; Seitokai no Ichizon is at the student council room and Working!! is at a family restaurant.

A peaceful slice of life show with cafe/restaurant as the setting.
Also have the same three seiyuus (Jun Fukuyama, Hiroshi Kamiya and Daisuke Ono).
It's basically the same as Working!!
Jun Fukuyama, Hiroshi Kamiya, Daisuke Ono and Yuuichi Nakamura are in this. However, instead of Inami most of the characters are the types of people that will kill you.

Both are a slice of life anime that deals with working in a restaurant. There's one sided love, and conflict and resolution.
Both titles take place in a restaurant, and have to do with the joys and sorrows of working with others.
Though "Working!!" is more comedy based, while "Ristorante Paradiso" is more about character relations.

Fast-paced comedy both adapted from 4-koma manga. They managed to fit a lot of gags from original into the anime and also have the enjoyable pace kept. Good work everyone, just please come up with some original joke once in a while, anime team. Those who have read original manga really have a hard time on your show.
Both anime has cute and easy-going atmosphere, also has characters suffer hieght issues. the anime style and the opening song is quite similar.
The main protaginist in both anime is very avarage but gets dragged into the student counsil/cafe by trouble some girls, overall both of the anime are enjoyable.

Pretty much both shows are just the about everyday life. Only difference is that one takes place at work and the other takes place at school
|
|
|
Cute, sitcom antics, character-driven humor, and similar character design. It's also a slice-of-life comedy series, and contrary to notoriety, is not pedobear fanservice.
|
|
|
They are both incurably hilarious and unconventionally witty. Both have strongly established comic characters, hysterical running jokes, and agonizing romantic comedy.
|
|
|
Both have work related theme, similar characters Haruka = Takanash Kozue, Marimo = Takanashi Souta (Cosplay). Both are good comedy/ Slide of life and radom.
|
|
|
Main character is dragged into a new life/work with a bunch of weirdos

Similarities:
Both settings are in a Restaurant.
Both have characters (Aizawa Chizuru of Shinryaku! Ika Musume, Sato Jun and Kyouko Shirafuji of working) which the main character (Ika and Souta) won't dare mess with.
Both were safe enough to be viewed by elementary school kids.
Both do have either a shallow or unstable plot.
Both characters (Souta and Ika) never intended to work in the restaurant in the first place.
And both have little bit lesbian that goes in it.
Dissimilarities:
One was set in the suburbs of Hokkaido while the other one was set on a beach somewhere in the southern part of Japan (In Okinawa... I think).
One has 2 characters that no one in the restaurant would wanna mess with ( Jun and Shirafuji) while the other only has one characters which one should beware about (Chizuru).
in one has a main character who is so naive about living on land which always get's her in trouble, while the other the main character always gets his face whoop by an androphobic co-worker.
And in one, the character has super abilities, while the other has super tolerance for his sisters and teasing from his co-workers.

Both are comedies with odd-ball characters and minimal storylines.
|
|
|
Main characters from Mayo Chiki! and Working!! suffer from gynophobia/androphobia. (Fear of woman/men)
They're similar in that the leading characters are afraid of the opposite sex.
|
|
|
comedy genre and likable characters,
|
|
|
Both very funy and fun to watch. The characters are very well made and it will bring you multiple smiles while watching. If you are a comedy lover, Lucky Star and Working! is the anime for you.
Remember: Working 2nd season in going to come out! XD
|
|
|
Over the whole series, you learn more about each main character and find out about their personality disorders...
|
|
|
Both of these animes have characters who are very sensitive about their height.
|
|
|
While working provides more of a comedy and A-Channel more of cuteness. Both series are good slice of life based on 4-koma.
|
|
|
Definitely similar style. Especially when you look at the opening sequences. Both really inspired me to go to work. NHK, inspiring me to get a job. And Working!!, inspiring me to keep it and enjoy it. xD *used to work in a cafe*
|
|
|
both anime have characters that are weird in a somewhat similar ways
|
|
|
Ririchiyo reminds me of Yamada and in episode 4, Maid 2 (in an incredibly weird way since he/she is either a tranny or a crossdresser) reminds me of Satou
|
|
|
Nogizaka start hitting guys because she has never been so close with 3D males after all her life spent with anime. If that is actually happening it would be really cool, with plagiarism concern.
Both show are already uber similar in the way that they both have an interesting main couple going out in interesting way with a good supporting casts.
|
|
|
Both are slice of life comedies with similar art style and by the same studio.
|
|
|
Comedy harem with plenty of possible pairings that appeal to audiences of all taste. Note that this recs focused on possibility of pairing because there are not many solid romance element or author-arranged couple present in both show, allowing audience imagination to runs wild.
|
|
|
Both animes are about some bussiness with many hilarious scenes, funny characters and a kind of romance. Some characters have similarities, like a guy who are always in trouble (Takanashi and Keitaro), a girl who are always punching the protagonist (Inami and Narusegawa), a girl with a sword (Yachiro and Motoko), a girl causing problems to everyone (Yamada and Sarah) and a lazy employee (Kyouko and Haruka).
|
|
|
Not much alike but in both have a girl causing problems to the protagonist and the characters Yamada Aoi and Gokou Ruri are a lot alike.
|
|
|
both this anime take a place in the restaurant, but Kaidan restaurant is creepy and have a horror genre than Working!!
|
|
|
Though Working! is better than Pia Carrot, both stories happens in a restaurant.
|
|
|
Both have really quirky characters that are defined by their irregularities.
|
|
|
Eve and Working make up two of the few restaurant-based animes that I know. Though differing heavily from the dark, mysterious aura of Eve and the light, happy-lappy atmosphere of Working, both animes' main male leads get sucked into their respective environments, discovering a unique array of characters while themselves maturing over time.
|
|
|
Two comedy animes that can be referred to slice of life genres, both animes happen mostly in the cafes their working... Both animes seem to get their punch lines mostly on the worker's "unusual" sides too... If you like that format of comedy of Working, then you might also have fun watching Soredemo...
|
|
|
Both these anime focus on the relationships of a group of people (this is probably true for most anime though): in Ouran it is the 'Host Club' members while in Working it is the part time workers at the family restaurant 'Wagnaria'. Comedy, a variety of characters with distint personalities and quirks, a slow and comfortable pace and episodes following the daily life of the characters (in the Host Club and in the family restaurant) without a strong plot (this is more true for Working!!) are similar elements in both. Ouran has more character development and shows the pasts of the characters while Working!! has a lighter focus on this. Working may seem to have a lot of repitition - Takanashi always gets hit by Inami, chief is always serving the manager - but this is not really a negative aspect because it just shows the daily life at the restaurant which is mostly unchanging. However, we do learn more about the characters, they do develop a little, but that is not really the main focus of the anime.
In general both are fun to watch. You may not necssarily enjoy the other if you liked one, but there is a probability of doing so. Try a few episodes in any case.
