Flip Flappers

Young girls journey through dreamlike sequences with a touch of surreal, psychological horror and possible yuri elements 

Both are episodic adventures through the human subconscious with vaguely Jungian themes throughout. WEP does deal with more serious social issues than FliFla, but perhaps because of this stumbles more to the end than FliFla. Both shows are immensely fun though, and an absolute gorgeous sight to behold.  

Stories about stepping into a psychological world.  

Has a blue hair girl as a main character and journey in a surreal world 

from only seeeing ep 1 (which is all that is out at the moment), i was constantly reminded of the whimsicallness of flip flappers (my favorite anime) 

Cute female cast full of saturated art styles and very detailed designs, the girls all work together in a dream world to overcome their inner struggles and problems, there is a larger underlying plot than noticeable at first. 

Wonder Egg Priority is a gorgeous show that treads a lot of the same ground as Flip Flappers. Think the good parts of FF but cranked to 11. They both take place in either a surreal dreamscape fighting monsters, or in the real world in a slice-of-life setting. If you didn't like how the ending of FF was handled, WEP seems to be heading in a better direction. WEP is preserving its big mysteries well, and I appreciate it. 

Both animes share a similar setting and atmosphere, featuring blue-haired MCs with depressing tones, who travel to a parallel dimension to defeat human-based enemies to save someone. Both of these also feature colorful animation and yuri implication. 

They have a similar vibe of girls fighting with bright colours and stylistic animation. Wonder egg priority is a bit more scary in its monsters if that's something you mind. 

Both have a blue haired MC with depression, psychological horror and surreal dreamscapes. They are similar in terms of setting (facing inner demons by fighting monsters in a surreal dimension) and atmosphere. Both have excellent animation and very detailed designs. 

Remarkably similar in terms of setting and atmosphere, showing characters facing personal problems as they explore their illusions, presented in a dreamlike scenario, to discover the truth of reality. Confusing at first, but extremely satisfying when you grasp what it is about. 

Both have blue haired MC with depression sympthomes at first who get transported to a parallel dimension where they have to defeat enemies based on human minds to save someone. Both with colorful animation and yuri implication. 

Stories of schoolgirls who enter magical worlds where they receive magical powers to fight evil from the real world. Both anime show the girls' struggle with loneliness. Unusual worlds are filled with metaphors for different aspects of modern life, including creepy and frightening ones. I find similarities in the magical but disturbing atmosphere that these anime create. 

Both series appear to be about magical girls with a similar art style for the characters and the potential to get quite dark later on. 

If you like magic girl with a twist, then you'll like Madoka Magica. Both Flip Flappers and Madoka Magica contain magical girl elements from the genre, as well as fantastical animation when it comes to the alternate realities presented in both shows. In Flip Flappers, that world is Pure Illusion; in Madoka, it is the worlds the witches implant in the area. Madoka and Flip Flappers are both meant for more mature audiences than kids, and they both feature girls soul searching. I'd say give Madoka a try if you liked Flip Flappers, and vice versa.  

+Both feature magical girls. +++Both are animated very well, especially fight scenes. +Both include possible yuri. 

There are MANY similarities. -Magical girls -The art style is different but the concept of Pure Illusion is like the Labyrinths. They both feature the danger of real world death, and are therefore not entirely illusionary, but equally trippy and often terrifying. -The magical girls are all trying to get wishes granted (with more success in one show than the other ;)) -They collect something from the labyrinth/illusion (seeds/shards) 

Both are about magical girls, recommended for girl (even though i'm a boy...). Got great fighting scene and pretty good animation. 

Deconstructions of magical girl anime in vastly different, yet darker ways. Both are masterpieces in visual storytelling and while FF is a lot more lighthearted, both also play with the concept of time, Madoka Magica moreso. 

I truly wish Flip Flappers were more popular so it would get recommended to Madoka Magica fans more often. While Flip Flappers might not have the same level of dark themes it uses many serious and realistic themes and focuses a lot on emotions and the general human psyche and it does so beautifully. They are both new age magical girl anime and don’t shy away from harsh reality while still maintaining a fantastical aesthetic. While Flip Flappers isn’t always everyone’s cup of tea because of its heavy use of metaphors and leaving aspects “up to the audience” I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’d encourage any Madoka Magica fans to give it a try. <3 read more 

Magical girls with some pog animation. 

Both anime are about magical girls. They start off as happy and good, but then later on it gets more interesting and dramatic. 

It's a beautiful magical girl anime. If you like those, then you'll like Flip Flappers. It's not as dark as Madoka, but it has it's elements. The main girls have a wonderful friendship (psssssssst, ""friendship"" 👀) ... AND it's a major feast for the eyes. I'm half recommending it just for the artwork and animation.  

- Both have really colorful and fun animation and artstyle - Story flows naturally in both animes - Both are set in an alternative future world - Insteresting main characters As soon as I finished watching the very first episode of Flip Flappers the first thing that came to my mind was Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. Then I realized they are rather similiar. 

Flip Flappers give me the vibe of watching Humanity Has Declined. Both ED has almost the same feel of magical and bizarreness. 

Not so similar in genre, but Jinrui provides a very similar aesthetic to Flip Flappers. Both shows push beyond reality and paint a more fantastical picture within their story. The music in both series combined with the specific color palettes and humor provide a similar light-hearted atmosphere too. Also, cute characters if that's what you're looking for. 

Bright, colourful and crazy. 

Very zany, but never absurd. This is what I think principally sets Humanity Has Declined and Flip Flappers from all the rest. Both anime seem out of this world, but in a way wherein their quirks don't go too far as to become abnormal, just rather eccentric and actually intelligible at certain respects. Other similarities are the presence of a wacky artsy and bright art style, a very immersive setting, comical use of sound and animation effects, and similar vibey theme music. 

Firstly, the similarities between animation and music are clear. Both anime have colorful and vibrant art styles and some songs have the same vibe. Secondly, I like how the two stories are cheerful, crazy and give the show uniqueness and diversity thanks to the many creative adventures the protagonists go through. Humanity Has Declined has its own uncommon settings and fantasy elements that break with the common logic, while Flip Flappers starts with a common school setting, but early establishes its own fantasy world and fantasy elements as well. There are also some surreal and sometimes trippy scenes shared in the two stories too. Lastly, while both stories look very vibrant and cheerful on the surface, both hold dark secrets, facts and backgrounds that later in the show are revealed or hinted. read more 

These are shows which are supernatural with multiple worlds/dimensions. There are also some similarities between themes and story elements.  

These shows have similar character design and involve an alternate reality. Koto and Papika are both energetic optimist. They also both involve family, and a god-like parent.  

Both shows have a lot of whimsical and colorful elements, especially in the designs of worlds, but have more serious notes especially towards the climax. The plots of both are also paced similarly with a plot that comes together to make sense more at the end. The conflict in the plot involves family as a key part in both of them.  

There are so many reasons these two shows should be watched and loved together, so where do I begin? - fantastic alternate realities with colorf, well-detailed, fantastic backrounds and themes - strong themes of family and the value it holds - subtle and well thought out symbolism - beautiful animation - colorful and energetic presentation - they never feel repetitive - hyperactive, yet concise and excellent storytelling - non-linear, yet easily understandable story - charming and fun main characters - exquisite and unique fantasy and adventure - cute comedy that never becomes obnoxious - dark undertones - magic and science combined for the greater good - low budget anime with excellent and unique art styles, well flowing, beautiful animation and original concepts - fabulous character designs - while dark at times, they never feel like downers or depressing - even if energetic, the pacing is great and stable - every arc and plotpoint flows perfectly into one another - constant progression and growth of both story and characters - satisfying conclusion - fun to watch read more 

Both include fantastical journeys into alternate reality worlds. Both Anime's worlds contain problems which are rooted in the main female protagonist(s), which only they can solve. Both are beautifully animated in refreshing new ways I've never seen or experienced before. 

Both shows are very colorful and have vibrant visuals. 

Mostly episodic series involving misadventures of girls, notably being very animation-focused. Also share character designer tanu, to the point Oshiyama was worried they would be too similar. 

Both are colorful beautifully animated adventures stuffed full of creativity and sakuga centering around the the journey and friendship of the leading girls. 

Similar format and animation styles. Both very subjective shows, though, whether or not you like it will be wholly dependent on your tastes 

Very colorful animation, as well as a lighthearted experience. They both give off the same fun, yet exciting vibe. :) 

Both shows have incredibly vibrant animation and are very colorful. 

Welcome, to my review, people. The first thing is the air of these animes, is very similar. With characters with pink hair who take the protagonist out of his comfort zone. With an direction that has crazy cameras, and in its history, villains with similar interests, and plot twists you don't even expect. That's it, the rest is that, both are rare. Thank you so much! (Excuse the bad English) 

The amount of similarities both of these anime share is almost unbelievable. Both FLCL (Tsurumaki, Kazuya) and Flip Flappers (Oshiyama, Kiyotaka) are personal passion projects that had most, if not all, creative decisions as far as the story and direction goes done by their respective directors. Both anime are original works build from the ground up, and in both cases the director of the shows had incredible creative freedom to implement anything that they found interesting into their series. Aside from staff background similarities, these two anime have a lot of things in common to their story. Both FLCL and Flip Flappers are simple narratives told in a very complex way. Both explore themes in similarly bizarre ways (FLCL tackles social themes like puberty, self-growth, adulthood, and coming of age experience; while Flip Flappers focuses mostly on sexuality and friendship, though both of these themes by nature will have things to say on puberty and self-growth as well), to the extent that some people may just dismiss such bizzare natures as an incoherent series of events with no real meaning (they do have a meaning). Also, both are intentionally vague to spark speculation and discussion among their fans. Speaking of their fans, both anime have a very loyal cult following that satisfy specific niches and such followings like to dissect every element carefully left to interpretation. They both have the symbolisms and depth for such dissection to be possible, which is an incredible merit. If you are reading this then you most likely have seen at least one of these shows (higher chances are that the one you have seen is FLCL as it is the most popular one). If you really liked it and can't find anything similar to it, give the other one a shot and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything from the symbolisms, the countless references to pop culture and history, and the bizarre action packed animation can be found in its counterpart. I can safely say both are one hell of a ride. read more 

Flip Flappers is a beautiful series, and while similar in a lot of ways to FLCL in terms of being a coming of age story, it portrays this coming of age from a somewhat different perspective. One which may resonate much harder with specific people. If you're a fan of beautifully animated action scenes and dense episodes filled to bursting with visual metaphor and complex meaning, told effortlessly while still retaining surface level excitement throughout then Flip Flappers is for you. 

There are some similar things between both shows, but the most obvious one is, they're both coming of age stories, that are told in a somewhat more...weird way with lots of symbolism and a more episodic structure, before everything comes together in the end. Though FLCL focuses more on themes of sexuality and maturity, while Flip Flappers is much more about the growing up part, as well as trying to find out, what you want to do in your future. Also FLCL takes place in a relativ normal city, where just a bunch of giant robots and aliens start to appear, while Flip Flappers plays in different worlds, all with different and unique styles and stories to tell. read more 

- Both have a duo of two female high schoolers as the main characters. - Both have cool color choices. - Both have amazing fight scenes. - Both have transformation sequences. - Both have really good music. - Both have bittersweet endings. 

They're both crazy good action stories with really cool female leads. 

-2 girls as main characters - Really fast paced -Cool action scenes -Similar art style -Both are just really good shows imo  

Both feature two girls traveling to a strange and mysterious alternative world, with one girl being reluctant and nervous, and the other being more eager and energetic. Flip Flappers is a much more colorful and faster-paced anime, while Urasekai Picnic has a more toned-down color palette, and it seems to move at a more leisurely pace. But the similarities in sheer premise are difficult to ignore.  

Both are based on a similar thing: Transporting to a parallel, strange and at first unclear world. Also both featured by two girls and being relativelly close to yuri. Flip Flappers is colorful, crazy and astonishing while Urasekai is more down-to-earth, realist and not so flashy. Both are completelly recommendated 

-both anime are gay af (except flip flappers isnt a shoujo ai anime) -they both have a different world that has all sorts of monsters and villains -flip flappers has more vibrant colors and is more action oriented than urasekai picnic which has darker shades and themes. -both series have a shy, quiet, reserved girl and a more energetic, optimistic girl. 

Crazy, over-the-top magic and episodic adventure, cutesy visuals with a unique and atmospheric art style, yuri undertones, Dantean allusions, and countless references to other shows. Fans of one show will almost certainly like the other. 

1)-The main characters are girls. 2)-The setting is magical fantasy. 3)-They use fast-paced animation. 4)-The main characters are troublesome (Papika from F.F. and Atsuko from L.W.A) 5)-They have light humors. 6)-They using great colour combinations. 7)-In first episode, the storyline is almost the same. Both protagonist go to school. They also causing trouble to someone. They made friend or friends at first sight. 

Crazy, experimental visuals, extremely fast pacing, unconventional story structure, and more than anything - lots of passion put into these indulgent projects. 

These shows tend to reference a lot of other anime, although Luluco mostly references Trigger/Ginax shows. Characters in these shows are cute girs who can transform. They also have similarly expressive animation. 

Both stories are bizarre but feature an interesting story with quality animation. They both also deal with characters pursuing a wish which will supposedly be granted by a supernatural means. 

Both shows are wacky in nature with deeper meaning underneath the surface. Both have bright and vibrant colors. 

Both of these anime overlap a bit in themes and plot ideas. Flip Flappers is more action oriented whereas Alice to Zoroku is a bit more slice of life. They are quite similar yet different at the same time. I enjoyed both about equally as much and I think if you've watched one of these, you'll enjoy the other. 

Both Ending themes share similar melodies Both have a protagonist with a mysterious background and have a history of leaving a human experimental facility 

While I think Flip Flappers is a better version of Urahara, they both have a similar vibe to them. Both contain special powers in some way, and they're both visual-heavy. 

similar doodly art style and its magical girl anime but not in the cookie cutter way  

In a way these shows are similar type of "magical girl" shows. They both have yuri/yuri undertones.  

Both features a group of students unwillingly get dragged to become a magical girl, where they have to collect a certain item for a mysterious organization. Both have to fight and defeat an enemy in an alternative dimension to collect that item. The duo for both anime also did not immediately click/bond with each other. However, at the end of the season, they are both extremely close to each other. Both show do show the characters getting hurt/bleed with some emotional moments as well.  

Two close characters exploring crazy and creative worlds with a nice overarching story and themes. 

The entirety of both shows are illustrated in similar ways. The animation and art are both smooth and colorful. The main characters also have similar traits and personalities. Lastly, both pertain a system of magic in the real world. Overall, recommend watching if you enjoy this. 

Girl's Last Tour is like Flip Flappers without magical girls and other craziness. Just a beautiful journey of 2 girls through a strange environment. Tour might have less character growth, but it is higher in immersion. (My opinion of FF [8/10] was it would be better without magic girl stuff. Watching GLT was 10/10) 

While probably not the most obvious recommendation, Diebuster holds many similarities to FF. - fantastic use of animation, especially during battles - wonderfully charming and fun female characters that never cross the line into being obnoxious and retain their charm all throughout the series - beautifully imagined worlds full of life, characters, fascinating world-building and awesome backrounds - fully fleshed out characters with motivations, weakness, strengths and growth - energetic, yet concise and clear storytelling - coming of age story - themes of overcoming one's flaws, weaknesses (as one might perceive them), evolution and growth, escalation and friendship - dark undertones that never become too much to unbalance the overall story and pacing - great pacing - fun to watch - they both have a "screw you" attitude that can be interpreted in more ways than one and very rock'n roll spirit - both are unique and very fascinating takes on their own genres read more 

2 mcs have extremely similar dynamics animation and art style remind me of each other same kind of insane plot 

Both shows are artsy CGDCT with lots and lots of yuri, on which both have something to say. Flip Flappers is more story driven, action-based, while depicting MC's character development, while Yuri Kuma Arashi is packed with symbolism and its story is basically one massive metaphor. 

- Both feature a cast of school-aged girls - Both seem normal on the surface, but very quickly turn trippy - Both threaten to reveal darker secrets looming beneath - Both are anime originals  

Creative, artistic, surreal series where the main characters travels to a completely unique world in almost every episode. 

Both are whimsical animes which follows girls who find themselves in a wild world. While they both have their differences the same kind of wacky energy is present in both with the cast finding themselves thrust into bizarre situations while also suffering personal tension that they eventually find a way to pull through. Little Witch Academia has its main character take a route much like Asta from Black Clover. A nobody who purposely thrust herself into a world of magic to better herself. Though she does so to become as dazzling as the witch who inspired her from the very start. Flip Flappers follows a girl who is seemingly thrust into a bizarre situation after a wild encounter with a wacky magical girl. Yet she finds herself drawn in as she eventually finds herself having a personal stake in the matters she though irrelevant to her. So she faces her own struggles on a bizarre adventure to obtain the crystal shards. While both have vastly different approaches, you will find that both are equally as dazzling and have a significant personal stake with their cast. All with silly shenanigans. read more
