If you've seen Pani Poni Dash, and loved it's unique style, then make sure you check out Akiyuki Shinbo's latest show Maria†Holic.
Same director. Kanako and Himeko are practical twins (besides the latter's superior silliness and - presumed - heterosexuality). Mariya might or might not be likened to a vicious and gender-swapped Becky. Matsurika channels Ichijou, down to even the deadpan eyes. Both animes make use of quirky Shindo-isms/SHAFT-isms (immediately recognizable to fans of the man and company). PPD is significantly more episodic, but both have unusual (crack!) humor.

Self aware and self deprecating humor is relatively common, and both Mariaholic and Pani Poni share this trait. They have a cast of characters that are cliche to an extreme, and their ridiculous, fetishized personalities are constantly lampooned. There is also a certain random and outlandishness that defines these two series' as well. Episodes will often not even complain a discernible subplot, and scenes may shift to ridiculous mascot characters without warning.
