Both series have female lead characters who are obsessed with anime, manga and otaku culture.

Yuyushiki addpermalink

Slice of life that focuses on a small group of characters (mainly female) at their school. Humorous and dialogue-driven, both of these series contain many random moments. Yuyushiki has a bit more fluidity to its pacing and conversations. Lucky Star makes a lot more references to other series and features an otaku girl as the main character. 

report Recommended by Numi

Both series constantly spout random facts and lighthearted comedy out of thin air. 

There are several form of two man comedy 'manzai stunt' that involves one straight man (Kagami in Lucky Star / Yui in Yuyushiki) and two idiots (Tsukasa and Konata in Lucky Star / Yukari and Yuzuko in Yuyushiki). 

Both series also in a funny way have every extra characters besides the main casts displayed as an ordinary character, bland, lacking of colors, or even to extreme degree in Lucky Star everybody else is voiced by the same person.

Lucky Star and Yuyushiki are both slice-of-life genres of your not-so-everyday high school girls. These groups of friends act out mainly on whims and impulses, however, it's understood that the friendship between them is genuine. The conversation topics might seem tangential and even at a loss for logic, but still help to bring them closer together. 

report Recommended by Hakase-dono

Both are shows about a bunch of girls doing... well, nothing in particular.
Lucky Star deals with crucial matters such as the best way to eat dessert, while Yuyushike focuses more on the interaction between the characters, but they share both these elements.
Overall Lucky Star has a (delightfully) slow pace, while Yuyushiki is faster and a bit louder.

Similar concepts, characters.
If you liked らき☆すた(Lucky Star), you're definitely going to like Yuyushiki.
Just beware, Yuyushiki is, what I would call, "Borderline" between Lucky Star and Yuru Yuri, so expect a bit of "yuriness" from time to time.

Clannad addpermalink

The Anime's genre is different, however I find many of main characters quite similiar in both of animes.  (Kagami would be clannad's Kyou, Tsukasa=Ryou, Konata=Fuko).  I can quite assure that if viewers enjoyed Lucky Star's Characters, they surely would enjoy/appreciate Clannad and It's Characters. 

report Recommended by ChocolateTruffle

Lucky Star and Clannad are very alike cause they're mostly about humor :) But Clannad WILL MAKE YOU CRY (Warning just for you people :) ). And if you didn't cry, that means you either have no heart, or you didn't watch it all the way through. ._.

Ok, so back to where we were, Clannad also has characters that are similiar to Lucky Star characters, not exactly like them, but similiar at least ^_^ This anime also features romance, which is something that Lucky Star didn't feature (Note: This is the stuff that will make you cry :) ). Well, Clannad is mostly a comedy anime, and the romance parts aren't like, all the sappy and corny ones also. So it's a really good anime for those people that want some laughs.

Oh, and also for those romance lovers, finish the first season and move onto the second season, a bit more romance for you. :) (And yeah, I know this is "recommending" a sequel, but I didn't make a whole new recommendation for it, so yeah :) )

Oh, and this is my first recommendation and I bet tons of people of already have done this recommendation, so don't be mean please :) read more

They're quite different from one another. Lucky Star will make you laugh while Clannad will make you laugh and cry :) Oh and Lucky Star characters have similar looking characters in Clannad. Kagami - Kyou, Tsukasa - Ryou and Konata - Fuko

Humorous slice-of-life, similar-looking characters with similar backstories, and perking your happiness up with a salting of sadness.

Don't expect them to be the same, though. Clannad's got the strong points in terms of anime, but Lucky Star is really about otaku(s).

A lot of references of Keroro in Lucky Star.
They also use the real voices of the characters, and they appear as dolls and figurines in the serie.

The show is also humoristic, and sometimes it's as random as Keroro.

Both anime's are full of comedy and make you laugh at its really weird randomness, also they both show life of highschool students in a funny way. One might show  more about love than the other but they both do excelent parodies of other anime's and movies. xD

An otaku and a tsundere. Konata is to Hajime as Kagami is to Kaoru. If you've seen Lucky Star and thought, "Konata and Kagami would be so cute in a relationship", then you'd enjoy seeing DgNwIkWK.

The difference, however, is that Lucky Star relies on anime references while DgNwIkWK pokes fun at the otaku fanbase.

Both highlight Otaku culture and make references towards other anime  

report Recommended by SortaNeet

Oshiete! Galko-chan addpermalink

both shows follow a group of female friends in their daily high school life and therefore rely on the charm of the characters and situational humour to be a fun watch. scenes are short and sweet, and both series often rely on awkward interactions between a straight-talking girl and one who is a little more prone to bashfulness.

while a lot of Lucky Star's humour comes from pop-culture and geek-culture references, Galko focuses more on common real life myths and questions believed and asked by girls of their age and therefore (perhaps unintentionally) leans a little towards sex-ed territory on occasion.

the two shows are both very easy to watch, but whether or not the viewer likes them will largely be up to whether or not they expect actual plot from series they follow! read more

Both series are slices of life around girls in school with interesting personality traits and their stories devolve around their interactions and conversations in multiple situations. With a slow pacing both series pay attention to developing their characters and are a perfect option when you are just looking for shows to relax and see how the characters interact and do their antics.

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

Hanayamata addpermalink

Hanayamata and Lucky Star are two very colorful Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime. The main characters are all girls in this comedic slice of life show, though Lucky Star is more about its comedy while Hanayamata has more of a concrete narrative. There are similar characters with an eccentric girl who is energetic towards her interests, a shy girl and her close tsundere companion, et cetera, but they are different enough to consider giving this show a try.

Kodomo no Omocha (TV) addpermalink

How are these two similar? Much of the similarity comes in the art style, although one is a slightly newer style, but there are enough similarities including the bright colors. There's also the humor which is similar in both. There's also a rather perky feeling to both series which gets downplayed. Both are slice of life pieces.
