Anime 31174 Osomatsu-san Userrecs

Each is a zany comedy with a borderline narcissistic sense of self-awareness, complete with parodies of other series, direct observation of anime as an industry, and breaking the fourth wall. They even have a shared director! 

Both give me the same feeling: - They have tons of comedy, including parodies as well, with a bizarre tone sometimes. The punchlines of the jokes can be really unexpected too. - Anyways, they also have a ver heartwarming side to them, that may lead you to a point in which you would even cry because of the "feels" they transmit.  

- Meta. - Shameless. - Pop culture references. - Toilet humour. - Topical. - Relatable and immature adult MCs who are still struggling with the responsibilities that comes with adulthood. Osomatsu-san is like a compilation of the best Gintama fillers. Gintama is like Osomatsu-san but with randomly interspersed plot-arcs. 

The most obvious recommendation I could make. The two share the same director, and it really shows. They both have the same comedic timing, utilize pop culture references, and are completely littered with dirty humor. Both also occasionally get serious, which is something that often doesn't work in comedy-focused anime, but this director and the writers are REALLY good at blending it so it feels genuine and not heavy-handed. In fact, if I had to describe Osomatsu-san, I'd say it was what happens when you give Fujita a 50 year old show and tell him to go wild. Wait, why am I suggesting Gintama on MAL? You guys all know Gintama is great, lol.  

Besides being equally random, the comedy is amazing and it's really funny; it makes you laugh almost every time. They also got their dramatic moments (even though I must say, Osomatsu-san's kinda low on being dramatic) that might make you feel kinda low and maybe even shed some tears. Every character is equally charismatic, funny, unique, and also huge dorks; you get attached to them so quickly. tl;dr: both Osomatsu-san and Gintama are great works, and everyone should appreciate them. 

Both anime constantly make really blatant references to other famous anime, and both of them also often destroy their fourth walls. Osomatsu-san also makes similarly perverted jokes (none of which live up to Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon though) and does have fanservice, but only either Free!-like fanservice or fanservice of the same nature to Kondou flopping around naked on the floor. Humour-wise and generally mood-wise, these two are very, very similar. 

If you like(d) Gintama, then you'll probably like Osomatsu-san. I'm not too big of a fan of Gintama, but it seems to be the top dog of comedy anime. Osomatsu-San is funny, lighthearted, sometimes slow-paced, but a really amazing show overall. If you enjoy comedy anime, including Gintama, then I would give Osomatsu-san a try. 

Comedic anime that are centred around Japanese-style gag humour. The characters are either unemployed or are close to unemployed, and they love lazing around in the house. The jokes are often crude, and the characters have similar hobbies such as drinking sake and playing pachinko. There is a lot of parody humour in them, directed at both Japanese society and popular manga series.  

Osomatsu-san and Nichijou are both sketch-based comedy shows. Banking on their unique art style, often-absurdist humor and slapstick, but also being capable of subverting your expectations on occasion. Osomatsu-san is more of a "true" sketch comedy in that the characters bring their personalities to a variety of roles within the sketches, rather than just playing the same role in every sketch like Nichijou. Osomatsu is also more vulgar and "adult" with its humor, rather than relying solely on slapstick and absurdist situations like Nichijou. 

Both shows focus primarily around a cast of six ridiculous characters enacting bizarre skits warping the mundane happenings of reality. They each have a different flavor to them (if Nichijou is Monty Python's Flying Circus, Osomatsu-san is Kids in the Hall), but if you're a junkie for classic comedy scenes and characters, both should do you well. Also probably the two most meme/shitpost worthy anime out there. 

- they are both funny comedy, really random scenes that makes you think: ''WTF am I watching.'' - Osomatsu-sans OP reminded me of Nichijou too xD - In Osomatsu-san the main characters are all boys and in Nichijou they are girls so only one sex with the main characters  

Both Nichijou and Osomatsu san are comedy animes. They both feature funny and bizzare jokes that will make you either laugh or be confused, both series has a great set of characters and both animes have no real plot or story. 

very whacky sense of humor paired with fitting animation. Humor is based both on the cast dynamic and mundane situations being cranked up to an 11. 

The quirky art styles are similar in terms of their rarity. Both have an interesting humor and fun animation, however SZS is a bit more dark in terms of both. You can also easily binge watch both of these shows since they are easy to digest.  

Both has a eccentric and relatable cast and dark/satirical humor, while Sayonara has a different element for death, osomatsu is about neets who are bottom of the barrel good for nothing, yet in each episode it shows a light iin their lives, and how they try at life or with social interactions. Osomatsu is a genuinely funny show with characters that are both exaggerated yet realistic. If you want something that has satirical humor or a quirky cast just like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, I would suggest this. 

Osomatsu-san has 6 sextuplets as main characters, while Saiki K. has 1, with a lot of the supporting cast. - Both are hilarious (given) - Both makes lots of references to different animes/manga - Both lean more on dialogue/narrative comedy 

Both has a wacky cast with satirical/light hearted humor. Osomatsu has longer episodes, and also has a lot of references, just like Saiki. Osomatsu has a eccentric cast with characters with flaws, just like Saiki. 

Both consist of a series of episodic comedic skits. They are both meant to entertain and have an over-exaggerated humour style. If you found one funny, you will likely enjoy the other! 

Both are comedies with no general plot. Each episode is made-up of mini-episodes showing the misadventures of the main cast. I can recommend Danshi Koukousei to everyone but Osomatsu-san’s comedy may not be for all. Give the show a chance though then decide.  

-hilarious skits -lots of other anime references - sometimes some scenes would look high quality like from ep 1 of osomatsu and in pop team epic where the art would look impressive like the whole iyo sakuragi skit and the hoshiro girl drop skit for comedic purposes. 

Both Mr. Osomatsu and Pop Team Epic are absurdist, gag-centric, slap-stick & referenced-ladened comedy anime based on manga. They are also very in-the-now, meaning their references are timely to today's meme-based pop culture. Finally, both series are not afraid to enter cringe territory with vulgar language, body humor and slap-stick violence.  

-similar animation style (cartoony, bright, not the style you usually see in anime) -similar humor -sometimes it switches over to a more advanced animation -different story every episode 

Both have stylish cartoony art styles with animation that gets wild & outlandish. The style of humor is very similar as well, going to extremes for the sake of a joke, without any restrictions. Both shows are completely no-holds-barred comedies that go completely off the rails. 

the original manga was made by the same author, Fujio Akatsuka Both reboots share the same hilarious meta humour and timeless character designs 

Both are parody-ish comedy. The difference is Osomatsu-san is kind of a slice of life, while Nanbaka is more action focused. 

While it might look different, the humor and occasional slapstick comedy makes both series seem like they’re one in the same. Both very funny and the plot never falters. 

The main characters are very lookalike: they're awkward and so their goal is to become popular. They also share the same hating for "normalfags". The two series are also very similar in themselves, as they're both comedy with some cringy yet sad moments. Also, they're both sadly relatable.  

Both shows have similar animation. Quick jokes and references. Excillent VAs. However Mahoujin Guru Guru is a bit more light hearted. 

Hard not to think about Osomatsu-san while watching Shirokuma Cafe. First because they share a cast of completely lovable weird characters and their daily lives, except one is about animals and the other about sixtuplets. Both are incredibly funny and will make you forget about stress and the struggles of real life. A big highlight is that they both share like 90% of the seiyuu cast: Shirokuma= Osomatsu= Sakurai Takahiro Panda= Ichimatsu= Fukuyama Jun Penguin= Choromatsu= Kamiya Hiroshi Grizzly=Karamatsu= Nakamura Yuuichi Llama= Juyichimatsu= Ono Daisuke Sasaku=Totoko=Aya Endo
