Both anime are about eccentric people living in a boarding house type of environment where sharing is caring and a normal guy pursuing romance against all odds even if his particular love interest is way out of his league. What is more, the overall feel and visual aesthetic are also very similar due to the pastel colored tones used for backgrounds which further add to the relaxing slice of life aspects of each show.

Both shows implement the isekai setting of fantasy worlds and creatures, but also focus more on character relationships and progression for their respective domains, rather than conflict with a demon king or some ultimate foe. Kinda like raising a wholesome kingdom that doesn't use force. They just chill out, make/grow food, and sell it.
The MC's are nice and wholesome characters, and both have a fantasy creature/woman they fall in love and settle down with. There is also a slew of creatures (mascots if anything) and women that occupy their domain (harem options that don't fall through because of MC's devotion...in the anime at least).
If you like one, you're sure to like the other.

But there's another half of the story-- centered on a young girl who feels out of place in her everyday life getting involved with two boys who are caught up in a life-changing phenomenon. I thought Lisa's storyline was really reminiscent of Ruka in Children of the Sea.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Shin Getter Robo
|
Gurren Lagann and Getter Robo are constantly compared, but to put it really concisely— Getter Robo is Gurren Lagann, minus comedy, plus horror. They're similar enough if you like one you'll probably find something to like in the other, but different enough they can have fans with entirely different sensibilities.
Getter Robo's influence on Gurren Lagann is both intentional and extremely obvious to anyone that's seen both. Gurren Lagann keeps a lot of the horror-ish elements but downplays their scariness. Getter Robo wants to tell stories that are far darker than Gurren Lagann.
New Getter Robo is by far the easiest version of Getter Robo to consume as someone who's never experienced the franchise before, and makes both the similarities and differences with Gurren Lagann— both incredibly substantial— very apparent very quickly. ("Shin Getter Robo" is a legitimate way to put the title, but it also could refer to a very different manga or even the title of other OVAs, so this OVA gets called "New Getter Robo" for less ambiguity.)

Both these shows seem shallow and childish when you first hear about them, but they go much deeper. But, the only difference is that Ojamajo Doremi may get a little dark in the later seasons, unlike Cardcaptor Sakura which maintains a consistent tone throughout the story. Anyways, if you liked one, you will like the other most likely so give them a try.

Main difference would be that Mikan is hiding the fact he can talk human-language whereas Buchio doesn't need to hide this.
The stories are different but they are similar with their light-hearted and heartwarming moments amongst some serious things that occur within them, although ME is a lot more comedic and in nature throughout compared to the fairly heavy lore of TnY has as it progresses.

Some people will do whatever they can to achieve a high status.

Both animes are good pairs for eachother because both topics are the same (about trash gaming), but each anime go about it in different ways. Shangri-La shows the experience with a good game and Full dive show the experience with a trash game. The comedy is very similar too.

If seeing Hideki deal with living with an idiosyncratic non-human roommate while struggling to get by financially was what appealead to you about Chobits, then NieA Under 7 may appeal to you. In particular, if you like the earlier slice of life episodes of Chobits, then NieA Under 7 scratches a similar itch. The protagonists of both anime cope with the same struggle: juggling work, studying and keeping their roommate out of trouble. Chiii and NieA are polar opposites in terms of personality but both seem to have a way of causing trouble for their respective roomates, Hideki and Mayuko. NieA_7 does get serious in its later episodes like Chobits does but in a much more grounded way.
To summarise, NieA Under 7 is like Chobits but without the romance and with a greater emphasis on slice of life.

The overarching plot is hidden by the silly moments until it sneaks up to you and hits you on the head with a pan and suddenly you're having big feelings about the dynamics and crying.

Isekai staring kind hero and cast of silly characters. Most of the time these anime make you chuckle and feel all fuzzy inside but every now and then they get serious. Both MCs have limit to their kindness. They can forgive a lot, but there si a line.

They're the exact same anime but with the gender of the main characters reversed. Everything from the plot to the side characters is a direct copy.
> Both of them are about the MC getting reincarnated into a game as a villain/side character.
> Both of MCs are ultra OP.
> Both of them have a female character who is surrounded by a male harem.
Ton of other similarities. Too long to list out.
Personally, Otome Game was more satisfying to watch.

Ayakashi Triangle
|
Both of these series have action, supernatural creatures, romance, and
(slight spoiler I guess?)
a heroine that is part human and part something supernatural; seen as a god and are targeted by the supernatural creatures because of this. Ayakashi Triangle focuses on Ayakashi in general, where as Mononogatari is focused on tsukumogami/marebito.
The protagonists are also prejudiced against said supernatural creatures and dislike them strongly at first, the heroines however are okay with them.

They both have a skilled heroine that is more focused on her goals than romance. While the plot is a looot more shallow in Akuyaku Reijou Level 99, while in Kusuriya you get properly emotionally invested, they both give off a similar vibe in a sense; so I feel that someone who enjoyed Akuyaku Reijou Level 99 will definitely enjoy Kusuriya no Hitorigoto even more.

Nisemonogatari

While most comparisons between Penguindrum and Monogatari are among Bakemonogatari, I feel like Nisemonogatari is even closer to Mawaru Penguindrum in that regard. The most obvious part being the focus on sibling relationships, weird fetishitic scenes and a liminal aesthetic. Both also some of the most WTF scenes of all anime.

What makes both of these shows scary is that there's a heavy emphasis on not knowing what's going on. "Fear of the unknown" is our primal instinct and a very real thing, and watching the characters stumble through new and eerie environments while uncovering the hidden plot evokes that feeling really well. Both are equally gory.

Jellyfish Can't Swim In The night reminds me of a more modern K-On, with it being centered around an online anonymous pop group with members comprised of high schoolers rather than a high school rock band. It also goes into more than just song creation, but also marketing, music video production and stuff like that. So far it is an amazing slice of life story that had me smiling the entire time, and also seems like it may have explicit queer rep.

The Chapter Black arc in Yu Yu Hakusho and The Lost Substitute Shinigami / Fullbring Arc in Bleach are similar. Both have villains that are predecessors to Urameshi and Ichigo. The Lost Substitute Shinigiami Arc is likely inspired by the Chapter Black arc from Yu Yu Hakusho.

I could put these points:

-Both, thanks to the presence of friends/acquaintances, begin to struggle against that depression
-Both series have very good animation and music
-They are both drama/slice of life which can become quite emotional (the only difference is that Shigatsu has romance and a sad ending)
if you liked Shigatsu, you will definitely like Sangatsu

Momo magically brainwashes a family of earthlings into believing they're her parents, while Comet finds a homestay family fair and square (her rival Meteo resorts to brainwashing). Also, Momo finds adventures all around the world while Comet stays in the same town.

Frieren Beyond Journey's End and SayoAsa is a testament and a reminder about cherishing the time you have with loved ones. They both illustrate the realities of the lives of others and their fleeting, finite life. Whilst Frieren & Maquia themselves continue to simply live on evermore; due to their heritage.
Both stories explores the bonds while living on with this everlasting existence, both discovering the beauty of interpersonal relationships between themselves and the mortals of the world. The gravity of the mortality of the world is well explored showing the progression of time and how it affects society.
The relationship between Fern & Frieren can be seen in a similar light with Ariel & Maquia where they live on together in a non-sedentary journey discovering the bond they have with each other. Expect both stories to be emotionally driven.

Pretty much the same show. Typical everyman main character actually possesses god-like powers that manifest themselves whenever the plot requires, effectively removing any stakes or conflict from the story. Generic one-note characters including a girl, who likes the MC for some reason. If you liked one, the other is more of the same, so you'll like that too.

Similarities:

- Surreal visuals and gloomy atmosphere.
- Exploring serious and dark themes as well as groundbreaking and unique concepts
- They will wrap your head around leading to confusion, they question you rather than answer. They would challenge any finest anime thinkers.
- Beautiful art. (Especially background art and character design).
- Profound messages about different topics and the nature of humanity.
Finally, they are both fucking brilliant and worth checking out. Go watch them.
