Both of them are about people setting goals and trying to achieve them. They are great and make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. You will find nothing like this on american tv.
Two stories about the dream of two boys and a path to achieve it. A great humor and the atmosphere. Nice characters.
People trying to archive their dreams, making you feel what they feel and cross your fingers for them.
THIS is the absolute same kind of anime. Except Bakuman has a slightly more shounen feel to it, while Uchuu is a bit more inclined to drama. BUT they both have two very close man male characters who try to achieve their childhood dreams. They both have this empowering nd motivational feel to it and have a lot of funny and hilarious moments that bring you closer to the characters. Both deal with main characters competing with other characters for being the best in what they do.
somehow I found these two anime similar.. though the themes are totally different (manga-space). however, if you like this series then you MUST watch Bakuman (whether if you liked Uchuu Kyoudai or not, I would still highly recommend Bakuman for you) They have similar style of comedy and most importantly they tell stories about people who work really hard in order to achieve their dreams.

From the same creators as Death Note, Bakuman will certainly not dissapoint you. There are some small similarities in the story, as it's all about reaching your goals, and there is also a lot of rivalry between the characters. If you have an interest in maybe slightly autistic characters (as far as I know it was never really confirmed), Eiji Nizuma from Bakuman makes me think of L from Death Note.
Same authors, and the one of main characters is similar to one main character of Death Note in terms of appearance, intelligence and determination. Both have interesting stories - both have a goal they want to achieve. Death note is a thriller, Bakuman has a story closer to reality.
Both are from the same authors. Both main characters have a similar way of thinking, and determination. Both have little action but great plot. The atmosphere is different since Death Note is more dark and concentrates on mystery, and Bakuman is more light and kinda concentrates in slice of life.
Both are based on original works by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
If you've seen either one of them, and not the other, then this other is a must. They're absolutely different: from plot to soundtrack. The one thing they have in common is the fact that this two series are animations of the two and only colaborations (this far) by authors Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. They're both quite good and unique in their own way. In 'Bakuman', you're pulled into the very essence of anime: its original form, manga. On the other side, 'Death Note' has an incredible element of suspense that will draw you into the next chapter without the will to stop.

Like Genshiken, Bakuman is also a slice of life, comedy, and a little dose of romance that involves people lives around manga. Both deal with the realism of making a living from the manga business. Genshiken's focus is on a college club that researches on manga, anime, and video games. The storyline aim more towards the lifestyle and subculture of otaku, meanwhile Bakuman's story is more strictly concentrated on being success in making manga and magnaka's lives. Small differences aside, from both shows most characters show either very positive or negative deep emotion towards manga and manga business.
Both series deals with a group of friends who live their everyday lives as normally as possibly while making the most of it. The activities they do are related to otaku and are realistic.
Both series has a touch of romance involving the main female protagonist as well as the main male protagonist. The story in both series focuses mostly on the lifestyles of the characters and what they do.
Both series has a lighthearted backgrounds and shares a similar feeling.
Both show has something to do with mange, and all the main character in the show has a strong bond with mange.....both show are funny & enjoyable

Both anime are about two parters who start thier lives. Takagi Akito and Mashiro Moritaka at Bakuman and Komatsu Nana and Osaki Nana at Nana. Although Mashiro and Takagi are only 14, they grow up at the anime and become Nanas's age (20) at sencond season and the manga. Also, both anime talks about love. Many times at Bakuman there are talks about love and littlie sex as Mashiro wants to marry Miho or Takagi and Kaya's relationship (and much more at Nana). Also, while Takagi and Mashiro use their lives to make manga, Osaki Nana lives meant for music. Remember of course that Nana is Josei and Bakuman is Shounen. The two anime are wonderful
I know its sounds totally crazy but these two have some basic similarities. First is that there are characters wanting to achieve a dream.Second both animes have romance and slight humor. Third both animes have that feeling in the end of the episode where you cannot stop you curiosity to know what will happen in the next episode.
Although both series relates to different themes, Nana and Bakuman follows the idea of pursuing a dream and making it into a reality.
Both series has a great story with two prominent main characters who tells them.
Both series has drama, comedy, romance, and detailing what they do in their every day lives.
Nana falls more into the mature theme while Bakuman is more lighthearted. However, both series are realistic and conveys on what people believes in. Learning about what you like is one thing, mastering it is another.

Both are about 'normal' teens who are following the dream to become the best at something.
Both have elements of comedy, romance, slice of life, drama.
Both have great characters (some of them genius at what they do), with lots of friends and rivals.
Both have the same warm feeling of achieving a goal. The goals are totally different, but they both have the main characters as friends who will try their best to achieve their goals
At first glance, these two series don't seem to have much in common. However, Chihayafuru and Bakuman have quite a few similarities that may be overlooked.
Both series features young people trying to do something exciting for the first time in their lives. In Chihayafuru, it involves Karuta. In Bakuman, in involves the creation of manga. As such, both of these series meets the similarities in which these young people try to fulfill their goals, improving their skill in what they do, and at the same time learn more about themselves. Along the way, they befriend new people and also have encounters with rivals.
Both series features a slice of life feeling that progresses with each episode on how these young people improve on what they enjoy to do.
Both series also features comedy, drama, and slight hints of romance throughout later episodes.
Both series are lighthearted and are appealing in their unique ways.

Both series involves the main protagonists who wishes to follow their dreams of becoming a professional manga artist and making a name for themselves. At the same time, they discover more about the world with their friends and more about themselves.
Both series are lighthearted and has good comedy, drama, and romance.
Both series also has some emotions in some of the episodes that are realistic.
Both revolve around high school characters trying to achieve their dreams and both contain romance between multiple couples. While Bakuman is more focused around achieving the dream of the characters, Sakurasou focuses more on the romantic aspects of the character relationships. Both are excellent "coming of age" shows.
They are both Slice of Life anime that have characters focusing on making their dreams come true. While Bakuman focuses on two friends becoming mangaka and one girl becoming a voice actress Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is about six people each trying to reach their goals which includes becoming a manga artist, game designer, voice acting and more.
I would recommend both of these, if you happened to like one you'll definitely like the other.

Bakuman is the Beck of manga. Similar slice of life feel with similar progression. The main character both were once going through life aimlessly.
As the shounen demographic has evolved, new genres and styles have been introduced that bring variety to what was usually sci-fi or fantasy. Two examples of this are Bakuman and Beck, which tell stories of a characters pursuing their dreams in a slice-of-life setting that is capable of inspiring many, even outside their target audience. They both add realism to shounen and make it easier to relate.

Similar Story where the main character in both anime are fight for their drama, and they both promise the one they love that once their dream come true they will be together.
Both are good romance anime.......

The same group of individuals who wanted to make it big in the manga businesss, except one was more on the serious side, while the other was more on the funny side.

In both we can see the heartwarming story of the protagonist seeking to realize their dreams.
|
|

both anime explores the lives of writers/editors in a weekly magazine. while Bakuman is about teenage writers (guys), Hataraki Man is about a late 20's woman. Both explores the hardships of deadlines, writer's blocks and how it affect their personal lives. Comedy is of course a plus. Bakuman has the romance going for it while Hataraki is the opposite.

Those animes teach how the reality in this world. Bakuman for people who follow their dreams and Zetsubo sensei, for the reality that we faces everyday.

In both anime series the main characters are really hardworking and busy, trying to make their dreams come true. Both are slice of life, comedy and drama with friendship and romance playing an important part.

In Welcome to the NHK two boys are making a game, and in Bakuman two boys are making a manga. I find these series very similar - they contain comedy, some information about game-maker's/mangaka's life and reflection too. If you liked one, you'll probably like the other one.

Both anime are about creating manga. In each series, the main characters get better at their skills in the manga world, although Doujin Work is more of a comedy.
|
|

both are Slice of Life about people wanting to achieve some sort of ultimate goal, in Skip Beat! the main character wants to become a superstar, in Bakuman the main characters want to become the best mangaka. Both have romance as a sub-plot.

While the stories are incredibly different I get the same kind of excitement from these anime.
* Eureka Seven is full of action-packed flying mechas and battles while Bakuman's action is set in the everyday as the characters struggle and tension to become manga artists. While Eureka Seven has fast moving battles scenes it also strangely seems more talky and goes into long winded explanations every once in a while, but Bakuman keeps conversations short and to the point, making each episode move quickly.
* Both have a very sweet and awkward love story which part of what drives the stories but is not the focus of the plot. Making these both great for the Not Mushy Romantic.
* The humor is wonderful! Bakuman brings in lots of other manga and anime references (Fu-sion Ha!) and Eureka Seven's laughs come from the awkward love and the failings of our hero.
* You will cheer on the characters following their joy, triumphs and hardships along the way.
* Because of the subject matter of Eureka Seven, it is darker and more grown up their the young main characters.
This may seem like an odd mix, but I've tested the recommedation on a hardcore Eureka Seven fan, and he has been converted to a Bakuman follower!

Not because of the boys love (although some people might like so see the two main characters of Bakuman as more than friends), but because both of the series take you behind the scenes of creating manga.

I was kind of surprised not to see a recomendation between these two Anime as of yet. Both deal with Otaku romances that occur over time rather then right away. There is also a bit of realization of dreams in both Anime.

It's about doing whatever it takes to achieve an seemingly impossible goal. The soundtrack at certain points were quite quite similar, you really can't like one without liking the other really.

Both are directed by Ken'ichi Kasai and animated by JCStaff. Each show is centered around two characters and their pursuit of an artform (in Nodame it is playing classical music, in Bakuman it is writing manga.)
There is some character similarity also. Nizuma Eiji and Nodame are "instinct" types who work on feelings, while Chiaki and the Bakuman duo are considered to be "calculated" types who plan out their works as perfectionists.
Both series present alot of detail in the creative process, with a classic relaxed slice of life pacing. Romance is also present, though it is not the focus.
|

Bakuman, first off, 'reminded' me of Initial D somewhat in the feeling of it; and second off, they both involve (a) young boy(s) who at first doesn't/don't have any set plans for the future starting to take part/interest in something like a life/career path. And they're both basically good series IMHO. So go check 'em out!

On anime focuses on music, the other in manga, but both have somethings in common, like determination, passion and talent in their respective art, though one of the girls in K-on didn't learn how to play the guitar until later on.

Both have the main male character attempting to become a professional mangaka (manga artist) before being with the girl they love. The different is that in Bakuman the male charter plans to marry the girl he loves where as School Rumble the male plans to confess his love. In short the romance in the both series are very similar.

Both anime deal with making manga and friendships.
