Sakura Quest

Pretty much in every way. Adult female main cast. Same Studio. Same art style. Same working feel. Same mix of comedy and drama. It's hard to think of Sakura Quest without comparing it to Shirobako. It's distinct enough that it's clearly something different but the show follows so heavily in the footsteps of Shirobako that if you like one it's worth trying the other.  

~ a certain industry in Japan. Shirobako = anime industry Sakura Quest = tourism industry ~ same studio, PA works. ~ main character is mostly same. ~ hardworking, and very realistic. Very worth to try!  

Likable characters. Real world issues. Touching stories. Both anime give you a bunch of characters trying their best to find themselves while following them in their working environments. Worth a watch if you just need to watch a good story grounded in reality. 

I think many can make the connection that they're both made by PA works just by the art style. It revolves around group of 5 girls working together for a common goal and has the same feel to it . So far I'm enjoying and If you'd like Shirobako, specifically the characters, definitely check this out. 

Both series revolve around a certain industry in Japan. Shirobako looks at the anime industry and Sakura Quest delves into the tourism industry. Both shows feel very realistic as to common problems faced to people working in those industries. The main character in both shows is very similar, hard-working and good personality. Also The main character's best friends (who are also main characters kind of) are all females, all of which are involved in the same industry. Honestly sometimes I get the MCs of the two shows mixed up. To top it all off both shows were made by the same studio and have the same art style. read more 

Same P.A. Works style, similar types of humor (at least from what the first episode of Sakura Quest has shown), and a main cast of 5 women working in the shows' respective industries. 

Shirobako is the rare kind of slice of life workplace drama anime that is both a great entry point for beginners as well as those well versed in anime. It being a show about an anime studio and their trials and tribulations fit well into teaching the uninitiated about the processes as well as be loaded with referential things that only true anime viewers will appreciate. But if there were ever an example of a show that has referential things going over new viewers' heads that really don't harm the enjoyment it would be this one.

Same studio and same sensations while you are watching it. The main character in both of them is mostly the same: similiar appereance, same personality. Both shows are based on the problems that appear at the workplace. Both shows make you worry about the characters problems and dreams. 

its fun...try it 

-Both heavily focus on character development, and twines everything else cleverly around this one foundation -P.A Works does a spot-on job with their art here -Feel good and relaxed anime that you should watch after a heavy-to-digest anime  

Both have to deal with overcoming setbacks in life. Both deal with a main character constantly overcoming obstacles to get to the next point. Have to deal with a core group of female lead characters trying to make strides in their own lives. 

Both are about working in the tourism industry in a country town. Kanasaku Iroha focuses on a specific inn, whereas Sakura Quest focuses on the whole town. They both give off very cozy vibes and give an in-depth look into each of the work environments. Both have very like-able characters, and the main characters in each are both not native to the town they now live in. Spectacular music in both. 

Both MC are female coming from urban Tokyo to rural japan and working there SoL 

Has a simular warm feeling to it and there are some simular themes like: - Promoting tourism. - Living in the city vs living on the country side. - Finding out where you belong and what to do with your life. Sakura Quest is more on the comedy side and the cast is older. 

Same studio and same sensations while you are watching it. The main character comes from Tokio to a small town. Both shows are based on the problems that appear at the workplace. Both shows make you worry about the characters problems. 

Given that both series are made by the same studio, the numerous similarities should not be surprising: The story features a city girl surprisingly stuck with a job in a small province town. She has to adapt, make sense of her co-workers quirks, and, of course, win everyone over with her determination and passion. She will be joined by a small group of female colleagues and friends, who form the "inner circle", plus a wider array of some more unique side characters. The same animation quality and realistic style features in both stories. In either case the backdrop is coming to terms with finding a way and purpose in life, while the series is also a love-letter to province life. read more 

-P.A Works delivers fabulous animation styles again -Heavy character development, but fun to watch nevertheless -Might be a bit dry in the beginning, but picks up very well 

Same premise (make your dump at least a little attractive), but adult vs Highschool Cast and a different approach. At the stage of Sakura's episode 4 Locodols is more emotional and offers Yuri subtext, but I guess at least the feels aspect will surely also come. 

If you are interested in rural towns and their economies, these two shows are right up your alley. They both give us a good time while creating a interesting human relation based stories about almost-dead rural towns. They both center around young female as the main cast as they try to revive the town and have this oddly satisfying slice-of-life feel to them. 

Both are about young women working to promote a rural location. Similarly funny, with a slice of life feel.  

A fresh anime that relieve you from negative emotions , you don't have to think to much but just to follow the mc and his friends through the different events happening to them . Perfect anime when you need to relax  

They're both Slice of Life anime with girls as the main cast. They're also both set in a small town out in the countryside. The girls in Sakura Quest are older than the ones in Non Non Biyori, however, and Sakura Quest is more focused on working than doing random stuff. 

group of girls working together to achieve a goal. While there are many differences, if you liked one, you are most likely to like the other because of really similar vibes. Lighthearted,enjoyable slice of lifes. 

You might be wondering..hmm... One anime is about working adults and another is about high school girls. How could they possibly be similar? On the surface, Sakura Quest doesn't seem to be similar to Tamayura in any way but when you go through them, you'll slowly capture the essence and messages they are trying to portray. The noticeable themes of the anime are that they are both slice of life and the setting is set in a small town and that's about it. What makes Sakura Quest and Tamayura similar is that they are about the journey into finding the purpose of life. In Sakura Quest, you have five main characters who are lost in their lives but stumble upon each other in a small dying town and wish to revive it. Throughout the anime, the main characters slowly gain confidence and realization of what they really wanted to do. Meanwhile, in Tamayura, you have main characters who are high school girls and like to explore the town together. By the time of graduation, some characters questioned their decision in lives while others slowly realized what they really wanted to do. If you enjoy this kind of character progression or maybe you yourself can even relate to them in some way, you should definitely check out whichever you haven't watch. ***I'm recommending Tamayura: Hitotose because it had more exposure than the OVA prequel to Hitotose. If you wish to watch Tamayura series, start from the OVA first.  read more 

they both talk about a girl with her frustrated dreams, they go to a small town and start working with new people, they make new friends and form ties in this place with the people they met and somehow they manage to do a miracle to revive projects that they were believed dead. In Sakura Quest, he is a tourist agency that helps revive a small almost forgotten town. In Shiroi Suna No Aquatope, she is a former idol who helps revive an Aquarius. In both instances there are characters more or less similar but just as interesting. 

The story is also based on group of girls working together towards the same goal. All main characters are cute girls. The friendship and bonding will remind you of Sora yori mo Tooi Basho. It has it own shares of drama and comedy too.  

Left with no other options, both MCs reluctantly agree to take on the role and aid the Board of Tourism in their efforts to revitalize both amusement parks and tourism sites.
