Animegataris

These two anime are similar because they both parodies on anime. But in Akiba's Trip The Animation, it's more on the anime culture in Akiba. They also joke around with cliches in anime.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda addpermalink

Even though these two anime didn't have the same goal at all, with one being a reverse harem with the main female that ships them together, and the other building a steady and official anime club, they have similar points.
- They're both made to be lighthearted and funny
- The references of other anime are present in both
- The word anime itself is mentioned often in both
- They both have that one episode where the main characters go to an anime convention
- They have at least one character that doesn't know what's going on most of the time

Parody series full of references to other anime and only a vague idea of a plot.

If you liked AnimeGataris, surely I recommend Imouto Sae Ireba II, both are great animes, and that some proposals a little bit alike in some points.

Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! addpermalink

Anime production, in-depth! showing deep production of how anime made, by students. While Animegataris is messier and comedy focused, but Eizouken is more of a serious matter on how anime production works.

Genshiken addpermalink

Both shows primarily focus on otaku culture but Animegataris takes the pg-13/mainstream approach to this while Genshiken takes the more adult approach.
I feel as if Genshiken has the heart that Animegataris lacks because the latter exists only to shoehorn references.

Sentou Yousei Shoujo Tasukete! Mave-chan addpermalink

Both will satisfy anyone's taste for meta-jokes. The power of otaku's love of anime can do incredible things, and for those who actually have a unironic love of anime may find common ground with these characters (and the creators).

K-On! addpermalink

K-on! also has the theme of school club formation: the protagonists live the club at all times that are in school and we follow the daily life of them from the creation of the club, just like in Anime-Gataris.

Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo addpermalink

Both of these anime parody classic anime and otaku culture while also being a love letter to the whole medium and culture.
Animegataris focuses more on the love of anime and how fun it can be to enjoy and share it with others and dives a bit into meta territory at times while Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo plays it more straight, but still parodies and references classic mecha tropes and otaku stuff. Animegataris' cast has a bit more nuance to it, whereas most of Denchi Shoujo's characters are riffing on classic archetypes, either to poke fun at or change them up in interesting ways.
Both of them share a similar plot point where the main cast has to defend the idea of liking anime, despite what the naysayers bring up, which further drives home the main theme of each that the characters, the audience, and the creators just love anime because it's fun and even more so when enjoyed together.
While Animegataris could probably be viewed on its own and still be decently interesting, I think Denchi Shoujo is more reliant on the audience being familiar with the medium/culture and already in love with it to appreciate it, otherwise it's just a relatively basic mecha anime. read more

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu addpermalink

We have a perfectly normal high school student who just wants to fit in and make friends. A chance meeting with the most beautiful and unapproachable girl in school leads to them being roped into an infamous school club. The ensuing shenanigans defy reason, but more importantly, they completely defy genre. It'll take a few episodes, but things definitely aren't as they seem.

Mahou Shoujo Ore addpermalink

Animegataris and Magical Girl Ore are satirical parodies of anime.  In the case of MGO it's satirizing the magical girl genre of fantasy and shojo tropes while Animegataris parodies the medium in general. Both are comedic parodies of their respective genres and of the mediums.

16bit Sensation: Another Layer addpermalink

Cute girl with an interested in a deeply otaku topic gets heavily invested in said topic before things go meta. In Animegataris it's Anime specifically. In 16bit it's Eroge VNs. Both discuss the genre, history, and roles needed to develop the media format, and then both lightly hint at some supernatural driver in the first half before going all in with the supernatural element and its effects as the story progresses.

Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari addpermalink

- Both series are breaking the Fourth wall
- Both series give other anime reference and memes
The difference is Animegataris is about people talking about anime.
Last Period is about people questing and rolling Gachas.
