Both are made by the same company, have similar style off-the-wall humor, etc.

Both are about cute little moe blobs with animal characteristics and have the same kind of slightly twisted humor. 
report Recommended by Suwako
These two series are filled with side-splitting hilarity and randomness. It’s basically impossible to predict what will happen next in these crazy worlds, because they break all rules and logic of your standard anime. Hilarious events occur that you'll remember for months, if not years.

- Show with similar setting (the comedy part) - Both of their main character is princess in training While Di Gi Charat is full comedy, Fushigiboshi no☆Futagohime is a bit serious. 
report Recommended by FrengkySinaga
Both are 5 minute comedic shorts that have a strong moe-aesthetic to them. Both shows also contain meta-humor that is the basis for its respective comedy.

The director is the same and it shows. Both of them use the same sort of faces and have the same sort of out there approach to humor. Di Gi Charat is more unrefined and made for an okatu audience while Jewelpet Happiness channels this approach into the kids show that it is. Both shows also put cuteness as a core component of the series, especially in regards to the main character designs.  
report Recommended by Fircoal
Both are comprised of 2-4 minute shorts of character-based situatational comedy in a consistent setting.

If you love moe, cute girls, and hardcore otaku references

Anime that focus on characters who embody that idea of Otaku culture around the early 2000s, and parody both the anime industry itself and the fans of anime in a fun and silly way.

Although made in slightly different timeframes, They maintain a nostalgic aesthetic that can barely be found anywhere else.

i'm nearly certain that dejiko from di gi charat was the inspiration for pururin, at least with regard to character design. both characters are self-conscious parodies of the hyper-otaku denpa characters popular in the late 90's and early 00's, each one a rearrangement of the kinds of database elements discribed by hiroki azuma in his influenctial book Otaku: Japan's database animals. i believe there was some relevant historical precedence to pururin's name as well, but it involves things that could potentially ruin pururin for those that don't know, so i'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not to research the origins of her  read more

Both anime have short episodes, surreal humor, and cute girls. Although Di Gi Charat is a bit older and parodies otaku culture more than Teekyuu, these two animes are pretty similar and do what they set out to do very well.

Chibi girls with cat-paws and a forgettable story in these shorts. 
report Recommended by lanblade
Both are collections of shorts following non-human girls who seek to be the #1 idol in a sense, and base their humor and short episodes on the foolery that ensues from their misguided attempts to reach their goals

Random jokes, sometimes very disturbing; short invidual stiories 
report Recommended by UsagiAddict
Both shows are crazy, full of nonsense, random humor. Also the main characters in Di Gi Charat are very similar to some students in the class of SZS. 
report Recommended by fishyfrost
Both involve chibiness,kawai things and have absolutely no plot.

Both comedies directed by Sakurai Hiroaki, Mojokko Tsuke-chan is reminiscent of Di Gi Charat, displaying similar bizarre happenings and absurdist humor. Fast-paced gags and crude animation abound in both of them.

If you like HYPER FAST anime with little to no plot...

They are both comedy anime with short episodes and extreme amounts of randomness.

This anime is also about a group of girls and they're also cute!

Comedic style w/ simple artwork. Alot of comic/manga style screen segments.... Both have alot of music and sing alongs... they both even have a little sidekick mascot (gema/panda). And their "ultimate goals" are vaguely similar in which they both want to make alot of ppl happy. 
report Recommended by Ranivus
Both are comedies which contain episodes from girls' life. The difference is that Azumanga Daioh is realistic and Di Gi Charat is completely absurd. 
report Recommended by Canissa_Latrans
Both series are completely nonsensical, and while the plot and characters are random, it's still enjoyable 
report Recommended by LunaNightmare
DiGi Charat and Nyoron Churuya-san feature a similar certain type of humor combining SD moe-ness with random and silly situations. The protagonists Dejiko and Churuya are both green haired chibi girls trying to cope with the often harsh environment they live in. While it is Churuya's only wish to obtain more of her beloved smoked cheese, Dejiko works hard in a computer store in Akihabara to become a famous actress. Both girls talk in a specific manner relating to cat-like sounds, as Dejiko ends every sentence with the syllable "-nyo" and Churuya expresses various emotions by simply saying "nyoron".

Both of them are comedies. The difference is that Asari-chan is not a princess, while Dejiko, the main character of Di Gi Charat is a princess of a nearby planet called Di Gi Charat. Asari-chan is also a chibi animation, and so as Di Gi Charat.
