Kimi to boku meets Gintama.boys doing random funny stuff in high school setting.it is from Sunrise like Gintama and shares many staff with it like Takamatsu, Shinji as director,Audio Highs for music and Sugita, Tomokazu and Suzumura, Kenichi as Voice Actors
Other than the fact that one of the main character is voiced by same voice actor as Gintoki, this anime really does remind me of Gintama, but in an entirely different and refreshing set up. It was also very unique for me in terms of its take on high school girls, most anime I see show high school girls as timid and powerless or outright evil. The comedy is outstanding, there's never a dull moment. Don't give it much thought, just go for it. This series won't disappoint.
Daily life, crazy characters, a lot of comedy, randomness.

DanKou and Gintama share some of the aspects as the comedy anime. Although Gintama (and it's sequel) are superbly funny, DanKou's Situational Comedy was similar to Gintama. You got the same director, same music composer, same producer for this anime and the same seiyuus from the epic anime series.

They nearly have the same comedy sense, it doesn't have any arcs but its hilarious to the core. If you liked Gintama's way of comedy and the way that girl's are stronger than guys, go ahead and watch Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou!

Jokes' topics, episodic style and pure randomness make Daily Lives of High School Boys and Gintama quite alike in terms of comedy. As for die-hard Gintama fans, these animes not only share Sugita Tomokazu and Suzumura Kenichi, but also voice actors of Sa-chan, Zura, Kijima Matako and even the frigging Shogun! You'll definitely have some fun figuring them out.

The same sense of humor. Some scenes are totally random, characters have epic inner thoughts about ordinary things and sometimes have the same way of speaking. Both series are very funny and make you laugh out loud.
Also you can hear a few seiyuus from both of these series. Hidenori is voiced by Sugita Tomokazu - the same goes for Gintama's main character - Gintoki. There's Suzumura Kenichi (DKNN - Yoshitake, Gintama - Okita), Ishida Akira (DKNN - President, Gintama - Katsura) and Kobayashi Yuu (DKNN - Yanagi, Gintama - Sacchan).
And both are made by Sunrise. It explains everything.

Studio Sunrise animated both of them.
Shinji Tkamatsu directed both of them.
Tomokazu Sugito voiced Gintoki from Gintama and Hidenori from DKnN.
Audio Highs composed music for both shows.
Also, same comedy style: mocking everything around them!
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is Gintama in High school setting.
The style of parody is really similar to Gintama, not to mention same seiyuu on one of the characters.
Both involve a trio and there is no real story to it, but both are really enjoyable comedies all the way through.
Similar jokes, similar mood, similar directing style. Daily Lives of High School Boys feels like a real-world, modern day version of what Gintama would be if the characters were all in high school (minus the more battle shounen-esque sections). If you watched Gintama and want more of that style of humor, this is a great place to find it. If you watched Daily Lives and want something similar but with more substance, Gintama is the place to go.
Danshi Koukousei and Gintama are two rare shows in anime industry that make use of situational irony as its main source of entertainment, though Gintama also heavily lean on parody of practically everything. Both shows are mainly episodic, showcasing the main characters' daily lives.

Made my the same studio and has similar comedy. Both are hilarious! Both have the same delivery of jokes and comedic behavior. If you enjoyed or loved either of these you'll enjoy the other as well.
Guaranteed to make you laugh each episode. Have a bunch idiot, crazy people that sometime make the "tsukkomi" (straight man) stressed. Both main "boke" (funny person) voiced by an awesome seiyuu Sugita-san, make it even cooler. The difference is that Gintama sets in ancient Japan, danshi koukousei now. Also Gintama has more development of plot. If you love comedy, you should watch both of them.
These two series have the same kind of comedy and absurd situations, maybe because they have the same director and Sugita Tomokazu in the lead role (Gintoki/Hidenori).
Both are mainly plotless but have some long-lasting stories.
Their music (same composer) has also the same perfect way to accompagny the comedy.
Gag humour that picks up after a while, if you enjoyed Danshi in that manner you will probably enjoy Gintama and get more.
Both are very funny and relaxing.
Differences:
Gintama - Is longer and therefore has more deep story
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou - doesn't have a real plot
Overall, they are both great anime and worth your time unless you dislike comedy.
The style of comedy is the same although different setting. Hilarious anime that will you in tears of laughter.
JUST DO IT.
Everything in Gintama except well its fans and 200+ episodes is in Danshikou. They both have Sugita-san in it, above all else, sexual jokes and some touching or laughable or touching/laughing moments.
DO IT.

My favourite comedy series, altough different in settings (Gintama is set in the Edo period with a twist and Danshi is set in highschool) the story follow tree main chars and their daily lives but here is where the fun begins, every little thing becomes the biggest thing in the universe, every normal scene turns into something comical and everyone is anything but "normal".
Both share a couple of voice actors (Tomozaku Sugita as Gintoki and Hidenori, Suzumura Kenichi as Sougo and Yoshitake etc), both made by Sunrise.
Having a bad day? Start watching this, the bad day will turn into the best day eva.

Both shows have similar humor. If you liked one you'll like the other. The director if I am not mistaken is the same as in some episodes of gintama and the voice actor of Hidenori is the same of Sakata Gintoki.
Same style of comedy, has references to different animes. Both will have you laughing a lot.
Gintama is set in a world of samurai and aliens
Danshi Koukousei is a school type setting

Aside from sharing main characters with the same voice actor, you'll find that the humor is very similar in both shows.
These are one of the funniest show ever made. Gintoki truly reminds me of the cast of DKnN. Laid-back, catches up to the mistake of everyone and makes a joke about it. With the absurdity in this anime i doubt you'll survive. Good luck!

Both animes have the same type of humor. They are both extremely hilarious with never-ending jokes.
Gintama : Gintama is about a former Samurai trying to make a living while being a Jack of All Trades. He befriends two people, Kagura and Shinpachi, and they decide to stay and work with him in the odd jobs they are given.
Danshi Koukousei no nichijou (Daily lives of high school boys) : Is simply as the title says. Three friends, high school boys, go through their normal, joke filled days in high school. Wondering what normal boys wonder such as things about girls, food, etc.
In these two

Well, besides the fact that one of the mc has the same VA as Gintoki, both are pretty funny and has similar kind of humour. The only major difference is the setting. If you really enjoy Gintama, you should enjoy this too.

Well both of these anime's are made by the same studio, but that's not all infact both of these anime's are almost exactly the same. Daily Lives Of Highschool boys is the same as GIntama in just different settings. Gintama and Daily Lives Of Highschool Boys are definitely in top some of the most hilarious anime's i've watched. Both of the series uses almost exactly the same voice actors which just adds to the similar feeling. At the start of Daily Lives Of Highschool Boys i started to believe it was just a parody of Gintama. These two anime's are by far the most similar

Both are amazing comedies, with our favorite voice actor: Tomokazu Sugita, playing one of the main characters.
Both are ridiculously hilarious!! Every episode leaves you smiling or even laughing like crazy. Also the VA of Gintoki also voices one of the main characters in Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou.

Like Gintama, this is a comedy surrounding a group of people and the shows have both like to break the 4th wall. They both (mostly) have episodic humour based around what the characters do in their daily lives. It is directed by the previous director of Gintama and so Danshi Koukousei No Nichijou has a similar style of humour (toilet humour etc).

It has Sakata Gintoki's Voice Actor, Tomokazu Sugita as one of the MC's. It may not have jokes about random-ass topics like Hemorrhoids which Gintama did but I guarantee you that the idiots in Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou will definitely make you wheeze.
Both are comedy anime that are hilariously funny and absurd. The main characters even share the same VA(Gintoki and Hidenori.) And both anime are easy to understand and get into.
the main characters in both series are trios, 2 fun characters: gintoki and hidenori ( both are voiced by sugita), kagura and yoshitake, and the straight normal dude who always gets laughed at or ignored: shinpachi and tadakuni, about comedy, you're going to notice similarities, both series make fun of of other anime and include tons of pop culture references ,sarcasm, satire, and some of the jokes are the same, not to mention both have a crazy cast of women, believe you don't want to mess with them, so basically if you liked gintama, you're going to love this one

Similar genre,almost the same voice actors,stupid main characters,male characters get bullied by female characters
Gintama is about a samurai named Sakata Gintoki and his day-to-day life doing various jobs with two teenagers.There's comedy...loads of it,and there are some tear jearkers and some really good action along the way
Danshi koukousei no nichijou focuses on a trio of teenage boys,their classmates and their various antics.Also it focuses on the Literature Girl who is by far the most hilarious character in this anime
There are the two best comedy anime ever, if you ask me I prefer Danshi koukousei no nichijou better, but every one of those is a must watch
This show is a must watch if you have seen enough anime and read enough manga. Its humour is similar to highschool boys.

THese anime are both hilarious and have a very similar style of humor. In both anime there is a trio of friends messing around and doing ridiculous things. Both anime also feature a running joke that one of the three main characters is the butt of. In addition, the main characters (Gintoki and Hidenori) are both voiced by Tokmokazu Sugita, which helps give the anime a similar feel.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is basically the high school version of Gintama with the same gag humor and stupidity.Both are from the same studio and also one of the main characters is voiced by Sugita,Tomokazu,the voice actor of Gintoki.
They are both comedy shows. They have good humour. Gintama focuses on a silver haired samurai with his 2 friends while Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou focuses the highschool lives of 3 highschoolers. If you like Gintama, you'll enjoy Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou.

It is Daily Lives of High School Boys is literally a "mini-Gintama", and it is a compliment. Many of the characters were voiced by the same VA from Gintama (e.g, Gintoki, Katsura, Sougo, Sachan, Nobunobu, and Sadasada)
