Tamako Market

Both are KyoAni creations, share the same cute character design, heart-warming atmosphere, absence of real plot - there are cute girls living ordinary cute lifes with friends and family (and with bizarre parrot in TM) 

These achieved exactly what they set out to do: it was cuteness for the sake of cuteness, and it had just enough story to make it worth watching. Tamako Market is by the team and studio that brought us K-On!, and they manage to hit this same target. It's about a girl who lives in a shopping district who is visited by a talking bird, and though the music setting from K-On! is absent, much of what made K-On! so endearing remains. 

A carefree world where a group of cute girls enjoy their lives to the fullest. 

Same production company and the art looks the same. K-On! has only female characters while Tamako Market also has a bunch of male characters. 

Same Production company, Kyoani. The main character looks like Mio and Mugi together with the personality kind of similar to Yui 

First of all, the artwork in both of these series are quite similar especially in terms of character designs. Both series also has a lot of comedy presented in a sort of episodic format involving the main characters. The main characters in fact are mostly cute girls doing cute things. Both series are also produced by the same studio, Kyoto Animation. Both series also adopts a sense in the slice of life theme that focuses on the daily events of the characters in a fun way. 

•both are produced by the same company, character designs etc •both are just INCREDIBLY LOVEABLE!!!!! imo. •both are concentrated to the slice of life to the fine detail, which is so relatable and loveable. •both animes contain the exact sense of humor/personality's to fall in love with/atmospheric scenes •both do differ in how the plot progresses throughout the show, where Tamako is kinda just senseless and pointless, you overlook that with all the MOE from all the kawaiii K-On! brought with it. •they are similar with the same animation/music/loveable characters/kawaiii, but they do differ in how engaging the plot is, some viewers from watching K-ON! would be dissappointed since it didnt live up to it, but others would overlook that and couldnt care less, since its just full of cuteness.  read more 

No it's not even that it's similar okay Tamako Market is literally K-On. It's. K-On. Seriously the designs are completely and utterly K-On. The tan chick is Azu-nyan, blonde one is Ritsu but with extra bitchy and more lesbian, Tamako is Yui, Shiori is that glasses chick from this show, Kanna is actually the only character here. Everyone else is irrelevant because this is K-ON. Did I mention it's without all the things that made K-On actually enjoyable hahahaha WONDERFUL 

The characters look the same and the anime has a similar feeling except there are actually male characters in tamako market 

They're both by Kyoto Ani and with some similar creators.  

Very similar style of art and sense oh humour. 

Tamako market is really cute and the characters remind me a lot about K-on! BTW, It's from the same anime company!  

From the studio behind the drama series "Clannad" comes a comedy following the daily lives of the high school girls. The series is known for it's cute moments, funny dialogue, calm atmosphere, and some moe characteristics. Not much of story since it is a slice of life format, but if you are looking for a good comedy show with some moe moments, then these will definitely fit your time. Tamako Market takes place on a market, where the main female character helps her family selling food products. K-on is a musical comedy where the main characters tried their best to prevent their club from shutting down. read more 

These anime talk about high school life for girls and friendship. They both contains comedy. You could also see the similarities in the characters, such as Tamako and Yui. They both treasure their family and friends. Their personality is almost the same too. The only difference about them is that in K-On its about music and in Tamako Market its about mochi. 

Similarities: - characters are similar. They have same attitude, movements & face - both school & slice of life genre'd animes - story is very similar - both anime always do weird stuff - makes you want to watch more 

To start off Tamako Market and K-On are from the same animation studio (Kyoto Animations) Both anime are light and fluffy. Tamako and Yui are very similar in their unwavering smile and that almost nothing can dampen their spirit. Both anime are slice of life and revolve around a close group of friends where eventually more characters are added. I truly loved both anime and i hope you will as well. 

Instead of an "oblivious to school" Hirasawa Yui, you get an "oblivious to her love life" Kitashirakawa Tamako. Instead of music and after school tea time, you get a market place, a weird talking bird, and mochi. Lots and lots of mochi. 

k-on is a story about four (and in the second season five) girls becoming a family of sorts, the fifth girl coming in and being readily accepted tamako market is a story about an entire community becoming a family, newcomers readily welcomed both have similar art styles (kyoani) and have the same general feel 

Both are slice of life by Kyoto animations. Lighthearted and easy to watch with a focus on characters and how they interact  

Both are very fun little anime, that revolve around a community. In K-On! it's a club, in Tamako Market it's a shopping district. Both touch on subjects like friendship, and attachment towards their communities. 

From the same studio, Tamako Market has a lot of the same charm that K-on! has, but with a different feel. Tamako Market takes place in a small town rather than in a busy school, for the most part, and has a much more (for lack of a better word) relatable, almost, feel to it; It's more about a girl and her friends going about their day-to-day life rather than a club of students going to school every day. I wouldn't say I prefer either show over the other, but you should definitely check out this one if you haven't yet (or vice versa!). 

Both are lighthearted comedy with a unique way of using music. They also share the same studio and director. 

After making us laugh, smile and cry on the masterpiece that was K-On!, Naoko Yamada directed another amazing CGDCT with Kyoto Animation, Tamako Market. With the same pleasant aesthetic, both series are slice-of-life comedies about the normal daily life of cute moe girls. They have the same spirit, with the same relaxing and optimistic vision, which makes them so pleasant to watch. And with their sequel, they make us feel their characters' doubts about their feelings and the future, the fear that it will eventually change with time. Both of these series are incredible and deserve more love 

Both have very enjoyable and diverse characters, which make up the heart of their stories. They are fundamentally about interactions between people and learning what those interactions mean. They are both very warm and enjoyable, with somewhat similar comedy (though Tamako Market can be a bit more out there).  

Both series are handled by the same production company - Kyoto Animation. As such, expect some of the artwork to be similar. Both series' main female protagonist not only looks alike but also has similar personalities in terms of their enthusiasm and ability to help others in need. The other characters in the series also becomes good friends with her. Both series features a sort of episodic sequence where every day presents a new challenge, idea, and way of living. Also, both series are lighthearted with drama, comedy, and some fun moments thrown in.  

Moe shenanigans. Main female leads of both series are too curious for their own goods. 

They are made by the same animation company so the art is VERY similar. The characters in both animes are very cute and lovable. Both have the same "slice of life/school life" atmosphere.  

Because, worked on by the same studio and have similar character designs but have different plots, stories and genres 

similar style of nice, laid back everyday comedy with quite big cast and talking animals 

Business with talking animal(s) and Comedy 

They are similar in that both anime use the shoutengai as a major setting and comedic. Both also involve some slice of life and super natural elements, the general happy-go-lucky non-sense, and, more or less, self contained episodes.  

Ensemble casts centered on a shopping district. 

Both are fun stories about teenagers in old shopping district, with some crazy fantasy stuff going on. 

Tsuritama is like the male version of Tamako Market if you replace the mochi-making with fishing. Both are slice of life, centered around friendships/community, have bright artwork, and have a foreigner character with a bird sidekick. Overall the vibes are really similar. 

To the anime "Tamako Market" I would like to recommend "Tamayura: Hitotose". In both series a young schoolgirl is the main character. Although the background stories are different, both anime belong to the slice of life, more precisely to the subgenre of the so-called "Iyashikei". Simply translated "healing" anime. The stories mostly show the characters in a peaceful environment. In "Tamako Market", the key is the music as well as the life of the people in the Usagiyama shopping district. "Tamayura: Hitotose" is special because the anime has a tragic incident as its key situation. However, it is a gentle, charming story about the passion for photography and how it helps to overcome sadness, accept the situation and rediscover the beauty of everyday life. Accompanied by beautiful imagery, endearing characters and a sense of almost being there, the series hits just the right note if you're looking for a wholesome anime. The two anime are visually beautiful and each has a fitting soundtrack and lovely dub voices. I especially liked the opening from "Tamayura: Hitotose", it's called "Okaerinasai (おかえりなさい)" and is sung by Maaya Sakamoto. As always, thanks for reading and have fun watching. read more 

Both of these animes depict the daily lives of the main characters, who are the children of families that own a shop in a town/city. Also Dera and Tippy have similarities i think 

both anime are very laughable the character similarities : both main characters are so dense tamako market got animal that can talk servant x service got stuffed animal that can talk 

Both K-on and tamako market is made by Kyoto Animation and it is really easy to see since the art style is almost identical. I have heard people call "Tamako market", K-on on acid, and that description seems to be accurate However it is a really fun and easy to watch anime that i recommend if you didn’t have enough of the cutness from K-on. 

similar setting! heartwarming anime to watch when you're feeling down. although hanasaku iroha is definitely deeper :)
