Uchuu Kyoudai

Very well crafted stories and the characters are well rounded, both very enjoyable stories about working hard for a dream. 

Two stories about the dream of two boys and a path to achieve it. A great humor and the atmosphere. Nice characters. 

People trying to archive their dreams, making you feel what they feel and cross your fingers for them. 

Setting a goal and following that journey to achieve it. Bakuman and Uchuu Kyoudai builds on the foundation of this idea and transform it into a story. In their perspective stories, the main characters have a dream to become something they always wanted to be. Throughout the course of the story, they face challenges and discover just what it takes to fulfill that dream. There is a decent amount of comedy, drama, and realism in both series. The main character relationship have strong dynamics that are often explored throughout both series. Recommended for anyone seeking a realistic show about character development and story emphasis with great writing. read more 

THIS is the absolute same kind of anime. Except Bakuman has a slightly more shounen feel to it, while Uchuu is a bit more inclined to drama. BUT they both have two very close man male characters who try to achieve their childhood dreams. They both have this empowering nd motivational feel to it and have a lot of funny and hilarious moments that bring you closer to the characters. Both deal with main characters competing with other characters for being the best in what they do.  

Somehow I found these two anime similar, though the themes are totally different (manga-space); however, if you like this series then you MUST watch Bakuman. (Whether if you liked Uchuu Kyoudai or not, I would still highly recommend Bakuman for you.) They have a similar style of comedy, and most importantly, they tell stories about people who work really hard in order to achieve their dreams. 

Both shows show the long and hard way towards a wished carreer, doing this really professionally. No overpowered leads and realistic complications are shown. Also, both shows have really groovy music.  

First of all, the art is extremely similar; however, I know people don't watch anime purely because of art. Not only are both anime extremely original, but both are extremely entertaining, with slice-of-life moments that can be both hilarious and dramatic. Overall, both Bakuman and Uchuu both tell the tale of normal people who decide to pursue their goals rather than wait for opportunity to come to them. 

both talking about dreaming and how man can make his dream come truth 

Both are about striving for your dreams, in a slice of life realistic anime that is positive and upbeat. 

Characters working hard to work in the job they dreamed to, these series feature a lovable cast hard to not root for and have a fantastic mix of comedy with really touching moments when you see them getting closer to their objectives, super motivating series. 

Both series involve a main male character who has a childhood dream that, for various reasons, gets pushed aside. Within the first episode (or 2), that dream gets pushed back into the forefront. Thereafter, both series largely follow the journey of the respective main characters as they try to accomplish their career dreams (in Bakuman, that involves Moritaka trying to become a successful manga artist, and in Space Bros., that involves Muuta trying to become an astronaut). Bakuman and Space Brothers also give viewers some (probably realistic) insight into what it takes to be a published manga artist and a NASA/JAXA astronaut, respectively. On balance and as a group, the personalities of the characters of the respective series are quite similar. Both series contain a smattering of quirky characters who are able to provide some pretty entertaining humor from time to time. read more 

In these manga two guys strive to fulfill their childhood dreams, while you learn something about the innerworkings of the field they are interested in.  

Do you ever feel depressed, or sad, or hopeless? Space Brothers and Bakuman are very powerful series that'll motivate you to accomplish your dreams.  

Dream and Promise. Those are the themes that both show offered. Uchuu Kyoudai is about becoming an astronaut and keeping promises and Bakuman is about becoming a Mangaka and also keeping promises to someone. 

The theme and mood of the story are very similar. They're both emotional and exhilarating to watch. They're both about achieving dreams that a common person would think it's impossible. At the beginning, the characters themselves didn't believe they could do it. 

An impossible destination, distant and unreachable to ordinary humans. That is what the 2 anime share. Although there's no lack of stories in space or harsh environments, what sets them apart is that they are grounded in reality and within the familiar confines of our present world. Space Brothers, as per the title, follows the journey of 2 brothers as they aim to fulfill their childhood dream of becoming astronauts and going to the moon. It's an incredible ride of 99 (too few!) episodes, inspirational and engaging throughout. But what's truly impressive is the anime's astonishingly realistic and painstaking display of astronaut training, as well as the most enjoyable space education you'll ever get! The great undertaking in A Place Further Than the Universe is to Antarctica. Aptly titled thus as it is indeed a place so remote and uninhabitable that it may as well be beyond Earth. Though more ambitious and less pragmatic with high school girls at the helm, it places more emphasis on the journey itself rather than the destination. What it lacks in realism it makes up with heart - and a glimpse of the icy expanses never before seen in anime! Both have excellent characterisation, proportionate to their length and purpose. Refreshingly free of cliches, their vulnerabilities relatable and enthusiasm infectious, the characters really carry the show. (Space Brothers, in particular, excels at this despite juggling quite a large cast.) Two unique and very worthwhile experiences.  read more 

The two shows are based on people achieving "impossible" things - going to space and Antartica. Portrayed are the hopes, difficulties and self-doubts which are encountered every step of the way. Focus is placed on the importance of having people who support you, and who you support in turn. Both shows are grounded in reality (though Space Brothers is a lot more realistic), with well-written characters who avoid common anime tropes and archetypes. The music and production values for both is great as well! They enhance emotional scenes superbly. Would highly recommend both shows. Very motivating and feel-good. 

Here, between Uchuu kyoudai and Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho, both protagonists have a reckless dream that they want to accomplish. Even if that means throwing away everything that they do. Looked down upon and even mocked for wanting to do something different and unconventional, they do not hesitate and are excited. The overall reaching theme is to shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Both will also inspire you with their relatable passion and likable characters. 

Both shows present a cast of lovable characters working hard to make their dreams of going where few have gone before a reality. Both shows feel optimistic, but Space Brothers is much more realistic than A Place Farther Than The Universe. Both shows are great for anyone looking for an uplifting and encouraging watch.  

Similarly inspiring tale that tells you to strive for your dreams, and that nothing is impossible. Characters in both shows are not cardboard cutouts, but well developed and nuanced enough to feel real. And most of all, both shows have similar charm and a wonderful sense of humor that pervades everything. 

Both shows make you feel so moon (If you know what I mean). A place further than the Universe is a small those of what you experience in the 99 episodes of Space Brothers. The stories are similar in the way that the cast is trying to fulfill a dream or escaping from the monotony of life (Getting the most out their lives will summarize it). The characters are different in the way that one are 16-year-old high school girls and the other are 30+ years old adults. But both are amazing and feel so real. The most important part of both shows is their characters. And boy oh boy, they are the best. Finally, the enjoyment I feel with both shows is 100/10. Every episode is packed with emotions. However, as I said, A place further than the universe is only 13 episodes and it goes straight to the point. Space brothers also goes straight to the point but takes it time to get there. read more 

Both series are about regular people trying to accomplish what at first seem like impossible goals. They both contain a lot of light-hearted moments and a sharp sense of humor, yet they don't shy away from addressing heavier emotions and obstacles in a realistic fashion. But where these two series are the most similar, is in their being about watching incredibly endearing characters shooting for just as incredible dreams, and taking the audience along every step of their journeys. If you liked either of these series, you are very likely to enjoy the other as well. 

Both shows are very inspiring and refreshing and their passion of wanting to achieve their dreams would definitely make you want to do something great in your life too. It's like a push in the back that just fills you up with motivation. 

Going to a very unlikable place, whetever it's Antarctica or Space, both of these series have a healthy balance of comedy, drama, and juggle nicely with lot of interesting antidere characters. 

Both have people striving to explore distant places that very few people will ever have the chance to visit. Indeed, these are incredible achievements not just for the explorers but humanity as a whole. It's about dreaming big, and making big steps to achieve that dream. And perhaps learning something about yourself in the struggle. Yorimoi is a more condensed story, focusing on friendship and drama, with a somewhat broken cast. Space Brothers is much longer and more grounded in realism. And the journey is far more competitive. Watch it if you are in it for the long haul. In the time it takes to get to Antarctica, you haven't even gotten to the starting line for the Moon. read more 

Normal people doing an interesting job realistically. In both you'll have a few laughs and might learn something. Both shows having a theme performed by Sukima Switch certainly helps make them feel similar. 

While motivated by different goals, Gin no Saji and Ucchu Kyoudai shares a similar concept - to tackle on life with a goal in mind. The main male protagonist from both series have similar personalities. There is a distinctive slice of life tone with realism. Both series also explores their concept through the mechanics of their career developments. Similarly, there is also good relationship developments involving the MC with other characters. Recommended for viewers who are seeking a realistic slice of life with credible characterization. 

Realistic slice of life series with a great cast of characters that the viewer can't help but root for. These two series find the right spot with very neat comedy mixed with well executed sad/dramatic moments, they also give a very heartwarming feeling when you see the characters succeeding in their hard work towards their objectives. 

Similar atmosphere. Both series is a feelgood/slice of life anime. They both are about normal jobs (farmer/astronaut), and becoming gradually better at it, while overcoming different obstacles that comes with the jobs.... but the pacing and dialogue is SO FKING GOOD!! There is similar humor, and every episode leaves you hungry for more. 10/10 would cum again 

Similar in terms of how its a feel good series with the MC getting used to a new life. Both have loose ties to romance, however its mostly focused around every day life for them. 

Space themed with in-depth, believable characters. Interesting stories, and also very informative about space exploration. 

If you love the space you gonna like to go up, and if you don't love it you gonna love it. Nearly futurist, realist and more human than a lot of animes. (sorry if I made a misstake, I'm not god with english but I hope you enjoy :) 

Both anime is quite similar that the main character trying to achieve his dreams that going to other planet 

Both animes are about space. They have a realistic portrayal about the difficulties and dangers about journeying through the cosmos. All characters have their goals and they develop themselves along the way so they can achieve their dreams. Both give knowledge about what it is like to work in space and show you the risks. 

Adult people doing adult and responsible things. Both are rather slow-paced SoL shows that feature protagonists who discover a new goal in life and work diligently toward it. 

While they are very different in story and genres, these two seinen series shine at handling big cast of characters, making every single character memorable via backstories, their actions, personal quirks... everyone feels so alive and has their own lives, problems and objectives. That only helps to add to the realism of these stories where its clear that their authors knew what they were doing when it comes to psychology, philosophy and morals for Monster, and everything related to the process of becoming and being an astronaut in Space Brothers. They also take their time with everything without never being a waste (especially when it comes to the characters) and love to use the "going to reveal/say something important into jumping to another scene into coming back to that one", making said event have a stronger impact due to what happened inbetween. Space Brothers and Monster are definitely different stories, but they share these similar elements that can be really appealing to the viewer.  read more 

Both series involve a main character chasing a dream. Space Brothers gives viewers insight as to what it takes to be an astronaut, while Yakitate gives viewers some insight (albeit exaggerated) as to what it takes to be a baker. Yakitate is probably aimed a bit more at a younger audience, as that series involves younger main characters, much more wacky humor and relies on exaggerated reactions by characters. In comparison, Space Brothers is likely aimed more at an older audience, as pretty much every character is a young adult or older, the humor is a bit more “normal”, and the characters mostly have more measured reactions. Still, if you want a series that's a wackier version of Space Brothers, Yakitate might be worth checking out. Likewise, if you want a series like Yakitate, only a bit more serious/realistic, then Space Brothers should be good. read more 

"Space Brothers" / "Uchuu Kyoudai" and "My Love Story!!" / "Ore Monogatari!!" may have drastically different premises, but its respective lead male character duos share a very similar dynamic. In addition, both series involve the goofy male protagonist falling head over heels over a girl immediately upon meeting her. 

Both are shows about the long way of achieving your goals. They're set in the real world and are both doing really well in creating certain deeper moods. Similar tragedies in both shows, similar situations. Excellent use of music in both shows. They were both very touching and bittersweet at times. 

I think the Hunter exam arc in Hunter x Hunter is very similar to the astronaut exam arc in Uchuu Kyoudai. 

Futatsu no Spica, which opens in 2024, and Uchuu Kyoudai, which opens in 2025, provide two different futures of Japan's space program. One portrays the journey toward space as something that has had setbacks because of tragic events, while the other portrays it as the culmination of continuous advances. However, both also portray space travel as a dream that can come true in spite of the challenges that the characters face. Both works are also heartwarming in their characterization and in their message: that one can become stronger to overcome the past and move toward the future. 

Nostalgia play a big part in these stories. Unsure of their futures, both main characters look back into their meaningful pasts in an effort to regroup their thoughts and decide what they really want for their lives onwards.
