Nichijou

Both titles are hilarious school comedy witch absurd gags that will caught you off-guard every time.
Also Sasahara and Sakamoto are literally the same character. 

report Recommended by Piromysl

Nichijou and Sakamoto are both equally similar in how they execute the humor. In both shows, the main characters are all put into extremely ridiculous situations. Consequently, they are all forced to think on their feet, which causes them to respond with overexaggerated emotions and humorous actions that often do not make any sense. In Nichijou, however, the humor revolves around 6 main characters; In Sakamoto, it's just, well, Sakamoto.

Similar random humor. Picture a show centered around Mai but pretentious and you got Sakamoto.

Un buen monólogo. Ver a alguien caerse. El mejor chiste de la historia. Y ninguno me ha hecho reír tanto como este anime. Hace de las situaciones cotidianas lo más hilarante y absurdo que he visto en mucho tiempo. Si ver al director luchando a muerte contra una cabra no te hace reír, nada lo hará.

Both series centre around 3 girls doing  absolutely hilarious things. The humour is very fast paced in both series and are also very slapstick. Both are also incredibly funny and are DEFINITELY worth your time! Difference is that Plastic Nee-san is a lot shorter than Nichijou in terms of episode length.

Nichijou is like a cuter, slightly calmer version of Plastic Neesan; Plastic Neesan is like Nichijou on crack.

Both anime use a school setting for a lot of their scenes, and both anime are hilarious. Also, both have girls as their main characters.

Tonari no Seki-kun addpermalink

Both shows entertain with frivolous and random comedy. Nichijou has full episodes and more characters while Seki is shorter and, so far, focuses on only two people. 

report Recommended by reluctantbeeswax

Expect random comedy, humorous dialogues, and in general, stories made out of arbitrary daily life events. Nichijou and Tonari no Seki-kun are anime series that follows an episodic format with no direct or linear storyline. The stories are simple with gags and fun. They both take place in a school life setting. The main characters from both series creates a comical environment with slice of life attributes. 

report Recommended by Stark700

Simple animation (at first glance) that uses over exaggeration as a main key for the comedy and the setting is in a school.   

report Recommended by Rance-sama

Random short stories of few minutes that (for Nichijou: mostly) take place in school.
Tonari no Seki-kun features one story per episode, Nichijou features multiple stories in one episode, sometimes even split up into multiple parts featured on different episodes. However, Nichijou episodes are ~three times longer.
The overall setting, feeling and humor is very similar, so If you like either of these, you'll love the other. 

report Recommended by Solarfyre

Dada-ist humour in a high school environment.

Over-the-top and episodic, both shows takes the boke in traditional manzai to new and absurd heights. Seki-kun is only a series of shorts, and as such you can almost see it fitting perfectly into the Nichijou school environment as just another skit.

Very similar style of comedy, over the top and fast paced. If you like Nichijou's pacing, absurdity, and humor, then this show is for you. 

report Recommended by jakeleyank

Both of these comedies work at the same pace, moving fast, but giving the audience enough time to get invested in the shenanigans and appreciate the execution. Both also work on the same magnitude, creating absurd, random scenes while maintaining a sense of cohesion, as if all of their events are happening within the set parameters of their own quirky little world.

Last, but not least, both have lovable, extremely expressive characters with great voice actors. What more could you ask for?

If you liked the pure-hearted comedy aspect of Nichijou, then you might like Yuru Yuri, they're similar in many aspects, though one thing to note is this anime is less slice of life and more comedy than Nichijou, I would argue that it is still equally as entertaining with its own sort of charm.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon addpermalink

Nichijou and Kobayashi are both shows that give you a similar vibe in comedy. Nichijou is comedy focused where Kobayashi has some fantasy and more serious moments as well. Both shows are lighthearted and give you the same feeling and are animated by Kyoto Animation. If you have seen one or the other I would highly recommend the other to you. You'll be in for a very comedic and character driven story. 

report Recommended by Nikoru-san

Both series tell stories that are light, fun and sometimes demential. It is easy to become attached to the characters thanks to their 	
pleasantness. 

report Recommended by MegaDany97

Nichijou is an anime about people who may or may not be extraordinary, and their lives which may or may not contain extraordinary things. Maidragon is a bit more extreme, where it's about an ordinary person who crosses with extraordinary beings that ultimately change her life in extraordinary ways. Still, the laid-back and comedic tone of Maidragon makes it feel like a spin-off of Nichijou more than anything. Both series highlight the everyday lives of their characters, and often have extreme and intense moments despite being about ordinary things. These moments are perhaps most notable for their incredible level of animation from the studio Kyoto Animation.
In other words, Nichijou is like a more spastic and random version of Maidragon with more characters and themes, while Maidragon is like a more dramatic and fleshed-out version of Nichijou, but with fewer characters and themes. read more

The show has a similar type of humor that completely ignores Western viewer's taste, but rather relies on Japanese viewer's fondness of unpredictable humors. They both have a talking animal (Sakamoto-san and Mesousa), a chibikko sensei in a lab coat (Hakase and Becky), and a dumb energetic girl (Yuuko and Himeko). Both shows also have a very stylish OP theme with plenty of movement.

Osomatsu-san and Nichijou are both sketch-based comedy shows. Banking on their unique art style, often-absurdist humor and slapstick, but also being capable of subverting your expectations on occasion.
Osomatsu-san is more of a "true" sketch comedy in that the characters bring their personalities to a variety of roles within the sketches, rather than just playing the same role in every sketch like Nichijou.
Osomatsu is also more vulgar and "adult" with its humor, rather than relying solely on slapstick and absurdist situations like Nichijou. 

report Recommended by Wotuwa

Both shows focus primarily around a cast of six ridiculous characters enacting bizarre skits warping the mundane happenings of reality. They each have a different flavor to them (if Nichijou is Monty Python's Flying Circus, Osomatsu-san is Kids in the Hall), but if you're a junkie for classic comedy scenes and characters, both should do you well. Also probably the two most meme/shitpost worthy anime out there.

Poputepipikku addpermalink

How can Nichijou not be on the recommendations for this.
It posses a similar tone with short "stories" around random topics related to the main cast.
Even the top notch quality on animation and originality that Poputepipikku has is similar to that of Nichijou. (Even tough I've noticed that Poputepipikku uses mostly CG on their action shots, or to add more detail to the action made. In Nichijou's case it is mostly traditional animation with use of CG for emphasis on backgrounds and keep a consistent scale of said background while blending it with 2D painted backgrounds in close shots).
Also on both shows the characters have defined characteristics that makes then easy to differentiate from each other.

*NOTE: The humor in Poputepipikku is really different than that of Nichijou by being more targeted at mature audiences, but that still does not take away the fact that both are hilarious on their own field.* read more

Although GSNK has a stronger shoujo/romance feel than Nichijou, it is definitely more focused on comedy than actual romance. I wouldn't put it on the same level as Nichijou in regards to "randomness" but it has the same sort of "wtf?!" sense of humor without being crude or crass. It is a fun, somewhat simple anime. If Nichjou made you laugh, I would highly recommend GSNK.

Just like Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai, Nichijou features a blue-haired heroine who is very sick and delusional. For example, Rikka Takanashi is convinced that she has magical powers, whereas high schooler Mio Naganohara believes she has a chance at winning the love of her life, Sasahara. Mio also draws sickening fanfiction of Sasahara in her school notebooks, much like how Rikka's friend Dekomori put together the fan-made magical compendium, Mabinogion.

Wordy, yes. Daily life, yes. Trying to do stuff in a Mr. Bean way, yes times ten. Both show share the ways of being funny, if you can really overlook the art style people normally can't. 

Uh, sure, when you watch SZS it's feel like New Zealand All Blacks somehow dominate the monitor, but the real promise of SZS is just the wacky daily life of a very stereotypical cast of characters. Art style simply do the trick of differentiating the show from other school life.

If I like Nichijou I will like SZS, you kidding? No. Darker atmosphere in SZS is not real, it is at most halfway to being black comedy, the real show is pretty much daily life comedy that also discuss politics and social issue in an epic funny way. Nichijou jokes didn't relate much to current social issue though. read more

Yamada-kun actually has much more of the 'nichjou' feel than Nichijou. Tonari no Yamada-kun tells the story of the very normal Yamada family and the humorous going-ons as the traditional Japanese family unit encounters various very ordinary events. Nichijou is Tonari no Yamada-kun seen through Dadaist goggles; absurd reactions and outrageous events that are definitely not every-day in the real world.

Both uses a similar sense of core humour; deadpan and full of irony. There are also quite a few famous Haiku poems featured/referenced in both.
