Dagashi Kashi addpermalink

Dagashi Kashi and Non Non Biyori have different artistic styles but take place in a very similar setting- rural Japan. Dagashi Kashi focuses on a comedy based plot line whereas Non Non Biyori is mainly a slice of life. If you enjoyed the setting in either show you should give the other a try.

Both series focus on young girls living in the rural parts of Japan and enjoying their slow paced everyday lives; while NNB takes place in a 6 student school and gives equal attention to the adults of the community, Akebi-chan is set at a regular middle school and looks at all of the classmates of the main character's class.

Futsuu no Joshikousei ga "Locodol" Yattemita. addpermalink

It's cute girls doing cute things. They both include places "in the country", Non Non Biyori more so.
Locodol has a faster pace but is still fairly relaxed. They include light humor as well. In my opinion, if cute girls are your thing, both are worth it.

At their core both are just simple slice of life comedies which I found incredibly heartwarming, relaxing, and fun to watch. Both also had their fair share of very d'aww moments due to the personalities of certain purple haired characters.

Yuyushiki addpermalink

Yuyushiki and Non Non Biyori may not have storyline with engaging plots but they offer slice of life fun with its small cast of characters. These characters are cute girls that enjoys their everyday lives with one another doing various activities.

There is a lot of humor in both series with a lighthearted atmosphere. For Yuyushiki, there are also references along with some cryptic dialogues at occasions. The dialogues in Non Non Non Biyori are adorable in its own rights with child play tones and enthusiasm.

Sakura Quest addpermalink

Both take place in rural towns and explore the lifestyles of living in such a place. Sakura Quest focuses on adults working in the town, while Non Non Biyori focuses on care-free kids just looking to have a good time. They are both very cozy shows, and have similar styles of humor. If you are craving a small-town adventure, look no further than these two.

Both focus on a slow look at a very detailed world from the eyes of children. While both worlds and moods are vastly different, the way these children interact with and learn from the world are quite similar. One is just a survival situation while the other is much more lighthearted.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou addpermalink

I've only seen the first three episodes of Non Non Biyori, but it immediately reminded me of YKK because of its laid-back slice of country life appeal.

The girls are cute and I love their curiousity and discoveries through out each of the series. NNB is a bit "cuter" though.

Yama no Susume addpermalink

Both shows feature casts of girls, frequently enjoying the outdoors and other simple activities as they deepen their friendships and grow as people. They're both beautifully animated and will leave you with a positive, relaxed feeling. While the humor between the shows is subtly different, both made me want to explore rural and wilderness areas in Japan.

Lucky☆Star addpermalink

Both animes center around slice of life and comedy with similar characters and really cute storyline both has light hearted humour the dissimilaritys are that lucky star centers around everyday life in the city whereas non non biyori centers around life in the country also lucky star is a parody whereas non non biyori is not. If you loved the light hearted humour and the cute storyline then you will love lucky star but if you watched non non biyori for its amazing art then lucky star is not for you

They both focus heavily on enjoying your time with nature. They have very similar styles of comedy, and are both excellent slice of life shows to unwind to. The music is also very good in both, always matching the atmosphere well. While I would say the characters in Non Non Biyori are more fleshed out, that be partially due to it having more seasons and more content.
