Oshiete! Galko-chan

Both anime are comedies about high school girls who are curious about sex and puberty, and frequently discuss it with their friends. The girls are hilariously frank about the topic and act pretty realistically for anime teens. Despite all their talk and their reputations as the hot/slutty chick, both girls are still virgins and often become flustered when asked about their personal sex lives. Neither girl is ever made to feel ashamed of her sexual curiosity (within reason. Yamada can get a bit obsessive over the topic and is scolded by her friends but isn't shamed when just normally talking about it.)

Bokura no

Both have a certain plot twist in common. Both contain mechs. Both become very dark as the plot continues, though Nadesico is more of a comedy and stays light hearted a lot longer than Bokurano.

Short Cuts

Franken Fran
|
Both of these are composed of one shots with only a few recuring jokes and characters connecting them. Short Cuts mainly deals with stuck up Japanese school girls (ko-gals) and Franken Fran has a few chapters that take place in high school. Both manga have the same sort of weird, gross, thoughtful, over-the-top black humor and odd scenarios. Short Cuts is more sexual and Franken Fran is more gory, but both are hilariously weird.

Ping Pong the Animation

Both anime are based on manga by the same author, so they have very similar art and story elements. Tekkon Kinkreet is more adventurous and trippy, while Ping Pong is more realistic.

Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta

This is the show Pilot's Love Song wishes it could be. Some people liked it, but I thought it gave off an overall feeling of meh, not to mention the less than stellar budget. Both series tell the story of a vaguely steampunk world engulfed in war, and center around brave young pilots. Last Exile succeeds where Love Song fails. The story isn't super innovative, but it's fun and well executed with a likable cast of characters. Gonzo put it's all into the animation. Comparing fight scenes in Exile and Love Song is like looking at night and day. If you liked The Pilot's Love Song you'll love Last Exile. If you hated The Pilot's Love Song then still check out Last Exile! It's steampunk adventure anime done right!

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2
|
Both start out as mecha shows with fun and sometimes outrageous scenarios. As they progress though they begin to show their true colors. While Code Geass questions why we lie and mask our true selves and whether it's a good or bad thing to do, Big O asks why our memories are so important to us and what would happen if we lost them. Both show corruption through god-like power (Geass and Mega Deuces.) Code Geass's mask symbolism is similar to Big O's stage symbolism. While Geass is all about Zero planning out his attacks and putting on dramatic "performances", Big O does the exact opposite as it's characters are pulled along by the play. Both shows were made by Sunrise.

Kuuchuu Buranko
|
Both of these shows start off as episodic, with their main topics being people with mental problems and complexes. Both shows reference future and past episodes if you pay attention to the background. Boogiepop gets a continuous story as it progresses, but trapeze sticks with its problem of the week set up. Atmosphere wise, they're exact opposites, but both stray from the norm. If you liked one, try the other.

Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku

Both give a very similar feeling. Both have futuristic monarchies that are plunged into war. Both have princesses that fall in love with their protectors despite being betrothed to a prince. The MCs are both underdogs, whether it be because of nonability or because of social class. Break Blade focuses more on the MCs fighting and struggle, while Princess and the Pilot focuses more on their romance. Break Blade can be summed up as a battle focused Princess and the Pilot with mechs. Vice versa, Princess and the pilot is a romance focused Break Blade with fighter planes.

Inferno Cop

Both have cops, obviously. While Inferno Cop was made as intentionally over the top and crazy, Mad Bull actually tries to take itself seriously. Imagine a show written by Japanese who have only ever experienced New York through American cop dramas. Look forward to power suits, sex, and the infamous grenade crotch. Watch the dub for the full experience, as British VAs don their best "New Yoik" accents. One of the best bad anime ever made. Inferno cop should be experienced by everyone, regardless of whether or not Mad Bull made you laugh your ass off. If you haven't done it yet, watch it!

Busta!
|
Both are manga dealing with the criminal underground (literally in dogs ^_-) and gangs. Both feature very kinetic, action packed art, and cool looking character designs. Dogs is a lot more fleshed out and anyone who thought BUSTA! Had a good concept should check it out. Vice versa, If you're already a Dogs fan and looking for a little time waster, BUSTA! is probably a good choice for you.

Hourou Musuko

Both shows have realistic portrayals of school life, though Wandering Son's characters act more like high schoolers than middle schoolers. Both of the shows use a realistic color scheme (no bright blue hair five feet in the air) and have performances (Beck=concerts, Wandering Son=plays). Both shows have a very similar feel, and if you like one you'll probably like the other.
