Hinamatsuri

Both series start with a unique premise, where the male lead character, with a shady job, involuntarily starts raising a child with superpowers. This crazy mix leads to some fun, wholesome, and unpredictable sub-plots. Now, as we all know; with great power comes great responsibility, and when you have to raise a problematic child with said great power, the responsibility becomes even bigger. Misunderstandings are par for the course and lead to comedic situations, that will leave you gasping for air from too much laughing. 

The two revolve around taking care of a new daughter. Both of which have a serious main plot and continue to progress, but accompanied by comedic humor in everyday life that will make you laugh and enjoy it every second. 

They're both slice of life comedy anime that revolve around a young, esper girl being adopted by a man with a shady profession. While Spy x Family focuses more on the main cast, Hinamatsuri focuses more on the main and side characters. 

Both anime revolve around a man with an unconventional lifestyle adopting a girl with supernatural powers.  

Adopted child, cold dad, family thing 

unusual parents raising unusual child 

Kid with supernatural powers, and a man related to underground who has to take care of them. Pretty simmilar vibe overall 

father x daughter relationship 

Both shows feature a diligent, no-nonsense and badass father taking care of a clumsy and troublesome daughter with superpowers. Both have seperate arcs with the father doing shady businesses and the daughter at school and it is absolutely hilarious to see these two worlds cross paths and how father and daughter both help and trouble each other in unexpected ways.  

Bad ass single dad scenario with an adoptive daughter, lots of comedy. Hinamatsuri has more slapstick and situational humor, so it feels lighter to watch - while Spy x Family challenges what it means to be an actual family. Hina is also more nonchalant and laid back about life, whereas Anya has the spirit, brilliance, and determination of an adult trapped in a child's body. 

SxF and Hinamatsuri involves adopting a little girl with supernatural powers . They are both funny and have good parental interactions. Hinamatsuri have good comedy and emotional moments while SxF have good comedy, action and animation. If you love SxF you should definitely check Hinamatsuri 

weird kid with superpowers, weird family, and more a lot of weird people in both of the anime. Hinamatsuri is more absurd type than Spy x Family, but both is really funny 

We have a weird family not by blood, impeccable humor, funny expressions, hilarious characters and a simple storyline 

you should watch these anime if you like comedy genre involving psychic power and some fighting. Mob psycho is more about fighting in school, while in hinamatsuri is fighting between mafia group. 

Both deal with deadpan psychic teenagers. While MobPsycho deals with the issues of Adolescence and Hinamatsuri is just one hell of a good time, they both have amazing characters, comedic timing, and beautiful animation to truly sell the Psychic-based comedy. Both are masterpieces of their specific genres. 

Both have comedy elements about people with psychokinesis powers 

Middle school, socially awkward, insanely strong esper with a questionable authority figure recommending them/their friends do suspicious jobs? Perfection. Mob and Hina are both OP espers just trying to get through their daily, socially stunted lives with the occasional psychic battle on the side. With their relatively ordinary friends and their fellow espers (not quite as strong, though), they experience heartwarming relationships and life lessons. 

Both shows have mentors that teach their pupils important lessons about life and how they should use restraint. The meaning of caring for someone, and family. Obviously Esp, need I explain further. But most importantly, both have huge character development that leaves you stunned and shocked, but also fulfilled and happy that you got to see them grow and mature. 

Hinamatsuri and Mob Psycho have a similar setup to one another, with both of them starring an Esper child and a "parent" figure. Both shows are comedy-focused, but Mob Psycho's comedy is more in your face compared to Hinamatsuri, but they both have similar skits at times. Both main Psychic children are bad at expressing emotions, and both "parent" figures have similar interactions with the world around them. The plotline of the shows is similar, in which things happen without a proper "goal". The side characters in both shows are really well setup when skits revolve them, but the main duo is where the comedy mostly comes from. But at the end of the day, both shows will have you laughing! read more 

Both shows have characters with psychic powers. Both are comedic in nature. 

Guardian of an esper. Hinamatsuri and Mob Psycho 100 both follow an adult with a questionable job end up having to take care and use a child esper to their benefit. Hinamatsuri has yakuza Nitta take care of esper Hina. MP100 has self-proclaimed exorcist Reigen take care and teach Mob about being an esper, and make him exorcise spirits for Reigen. Both are good comedy anime sharing a similar taste in the humour for each anime. 

These two shows are surprisingly similar in a lot of ways. Both the main protagonists are overpowered magical espers, and both the show focuses on comedy. But Hinamatsuri has a lot of sad and profound moments that made me cry and truly made me fall in love with the show. I just want more people to watch Hinamatsuri, honestly 

It's psychic and comedy. I like psychic a lot but it's not that many anime in psychic theme 

Comedy slice of life anime with ESP possessing children as the main characters. Mob Psycho is more of a fighting anime though while Hinamatsuri is more slice of life. 

- Both series feature main characters with special powers. - Both have a lovable man with a questionable reputation as the main supporting character. - Both series have an amazing and highly likeable set of secondary characters. - Both series provide commentary on major aspects of everyday life - Both animes also have a very good manga. 

They're both about esper children that are mostly emotionless, but get into wacky situations because of the people around them. 

Both are comedies featuring a lonely main character whose life changes after living with supernatural beings that deal with the struggle of understanding basic social rules an human behavior. 

"You don't need to have blood relation with someone to be a family" is the theme both the shows run on. And if you liked the way 'Miss Kobayashi's dragon maid' presented it, you'll probably like Hinamatsuri too. Also as a bonus, the comedy is crazy good.  

Hinamatsuri is another great drama comedy, revolving around a normal protagonist and their ability to deal with a superpowered friend that drops in on them. 

Just like kobayashi, hinamatsuri is a crazy combination of slice of life and supernatural, focusing on cute girls, funny and emotional moments. Especially if you love kanna, i think it's a great anime for you because of Hina. 

Both shows work wonders with expressive characters and strong visual comedy. They also share a core theme that humans (and dragons/alien psychic girls) need companionship. Both employ this theme excellently to elicit a genuine emotional response from the viewer. If you're looking for that element of the supernatural, but in the setting of a lighthearted and relaxing episodic series with a varied and likable cast, both have it in spades! 

A group of (somewhat) normal people have their lives changed when a group of supernatural humans appear from nowhere, and they learn the blessings and hardships of reality together. 

Two Slice of Lifes and yet I didn't expect to be writing this recommendation. - Both works depart from a similar premise, being stories involving beings who come from another world and settle down on earth, among humans, starting to live and live with a certain character. As a rule, these beings are much more powerful than humans. In the case of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, these are dragons, while Hinamatsuri accompanies Hina and other Espers. - Both Hinamatsuri and Maid Dragon, as Slice of Lifes, explore the daily lives of these particular characters and their maturation as they spend time with humans. Watching the two works, it's possible to see a prominent cultural clash between the two parties involved, although I believe this element is predominant in Maid Dragon. - Still about the maturation, both shows touch on the theme of "family" in a recurring way, so that beings from another world constitute different families on earth, even if there is no blood relation. Hinamatsuri, however, goes further in its themes, as it presents social representations that are a little more mature, such as the portrayal of the homeless, the presence of work as a tool of independence and the drama linked to child and adolescent labor. - Both works intersperse emotional moments dedicated to the characters and comedy scenes. Kobayashi-san, in my view, is more comedy-focused and the style is more "moe-oriented", with plenty of gags, character attribute jokes and fun scenes. Hinamatsuri, on the other hand, is more balanced in this regard, having a similar content to emotional scenes and comedy. The humor style is also not so close, since, in the second, the comedy is more "adult-oriented" and with less presence of cartoon elements. read more 

In both series, beings from other world (with powers) start living with humans. These two series are focused on comedy with some slice of life and emotional moments. 

-Both of them have the same type of hilarious comedy. Each character has special traits and make you laugh because of their personal circumstances. - Both have emotional scenes and feels that hit you when you least expect it - Gintoki is taking care of Kagura and Shinpachi while he's not exactly the typical parental figure so hilarity ensues. In Hinamatsuri, Nitta is bringing up Hina and he is pretty similar to Gintoki in terms of personality. 

-insane comedies with some drama here and there -Japanese urban setting -bizarre scenarios -wide cast of memorable characters -notoriously lazy female main cast wielding tremendous power -homeless people 

The crazy humor, mix of funny and touching story telling Hinamatsuri just reminds me of Gintama and you never tell where the story is going 

Funny as hell. You just starting to laugh even nothing funny happened yet. Funny characters and storyline. 

The humor and delivery for both shows is very similar. The both deal in sci-fi, with Gintama maybe a little more so. They also both have some pretty deep moments. 

you cannot tell me hina and kagura are not the same voice actor, they're almost identical in voice structure. Also they share similar personalities except that hina's more passive. both are good comedies. 

If you like comedy anime hinamatsuri is really good it feels like gintama has a little bit of drama/slice of life but holy shit it's funny af 

Both have; good humor, good characters, random emotional moments,  

you should watch these anime if you like comedy genre involving psychic power. Saiki kusuo is more about hiding his psychic power and live peacefully, while in hinamatsuri people use the psychic power in fighting between mafia 

Both have comedy elements about people with psychokinesis powers. 

Comedy centering around characters with psychic powers is...not actually what I found to be the main similarity between these shows. What Hinamatsuri and Saiki Kusuo both share is a constantly developing world and characters, enriching the experience by keeping the jokes fresh and interesting as well as putting more weight behind them. This is comedy with thought behind it, that gets you to invest in the characters and their stories. 

Both anime are pure comedy shows that revolve around a powerful psychic living their daily life. No one knows about their powers with the exception of their family and the few other espers that are far weaker than the mc. Though the thing that really makes both of these shows similar is how the unique and funny set of characters interact with each other and the protagonist. They just stick to the mc like a flock of birds and shenanigans ensues. The only real difference I could find between the shows is that Saiki is intelligent and tries to hide his powers while Hina is dumb and does so naturally. Both shows are extremely funny too and their comedy style is really similar, so if you liked one of them then you'll definitely like the other. read more 

Both of these are funny as hell, yet manage to be a feelgood kind of shows. Both have espers as main characters and both are emotionally stale. Which is fun. I swear. Hinamatsuri is more from the weird side of shows compared to SaikiK, especially how the storytelling goes.  

Both are comedy anime focused around espers. Both funny 

They have very similar type of humor, this is more important in comedy than any setting in term of similarity. 

Both are hilarious, they are well-crafted comedies with wacky characters and ever more improbable situations. Both are very quick and easy to watch, I highly recommend.  

Both anime have very similar sense of humour 

they both have a light storyline and unmatched funny comedy, so I hope they get it next season even if it's not possible 

Loli with superpowers runs away from her world into modern day Japan, ends up freeloading in Main Guy's home, who's profession is somewhat related to crime. Her friend follows her, but she ends up joining local homeless community. 

Single guy adopts genius girl who can use magic and they live together in contemporary Japan. Both feature B plot of that girls former companion being homeless. 

Isekai shoujo meets a middle-aged guy who ends up living together as father and daughter, in both has a silly homeless girl with a side ponytail who is an acquaintance of the protagonist...  

These are essentially the same show with different themes changed to create variety, instead of being a gang member the MC is a private detective. The same story of girl with powers comes to modern day Japan and teams up with MC, secondary girl is homeless and struggles similarly to Hinamatsuri. So far its not really a copy and paste but it takes a very similar path. Missing the gag comedic humor though.  

Male protagonist in his late 20's- early 30's who is living alone without any worries or other responsibilities has to take care of a young girl (although in usagi drop the girl doesn't have any powers) and learns to be more mature and caring towards children without any prior experience.Finally both anime series share a slice of life and happy vibe  

Same kind of Dad and Daughter vibe except hinamatsuri is more funny and comedy based while Usagi Drop i more Slice of Life based.  

Both shows have to do with an adult having to randomly adopt a child. Though there are challenges in parenthood they learn to adjust to their new life and find that living for other people rather then themselves makes for a wonderful and fulfilling life. 

Both involve an adult who previously didn't have any parenting experience being put into a scenario where they begin caring for a little girl. Both are excellent in terms of character development and both actually hit on some pretty big societal issues. 

Yakuza takes care of child. 

Both has Yakuza MC looking after a little child, has strong wholesome SOL vibes throughout 

Both feature gangster MCs that is forced to take care of a child.  

Gangster MC trying to take care of a child that is not his 

Yakuza's got to adapt and faces challenges -- both are hilarious and easy watches 

Comedy about Yakuza tough guys in contrasting domestic situations (Gokushu about a husband, and Hinamat about a step father) 

Both shows follow around a (ex) yakuza and their daily lives of life after leaving/drifting from the yakuza lifestyle. Gokushufudou and Hinamatsuri both show a (ex) yakuza's domestic life, with Hinamatsuri showing him being a father figure and raising a little girl, and Gokushufudou depicting his day-to-day scenarios of being a house husband. Along with similar scenarios of a Yakuza's new life and keeping his gang life/past sperate from his domestic life, they are both comedy slice-of-life, depicting smaller scenes and scenarios in each episode. While Hinamatsuri was more tender and to-the-heart, both had charming and likeable characters in fun scenarios.  

A scary looking Yakuza man becomes a family man. They are parody comedy anime. Gag humour and several skits per episode. 

The same plot where old guy gets involve with a loli that has superpowers.  

"Gifted" young girls from "the facility" are introduced to the real world and the lives of normal people, and they learn to live and adapt through adventures both easy and hard. How will their powers look in the real world? Who will live with whom? 

Both are about young powerful, magical girls who is taken in by an older male, who teaches them about normal humans and life in general Both are slice of life, both have friends (also powerful and magical) who are part of the whole story overall, very heartwarming coming of age esque story 

Fantastic modern comedies. Dry wit and sarcastic humour. Both respect the audience's intelligence. 

Comedy is very similar in the sense that it takes bizarre unrealistic scenarios but makes it work 

- Male protagonists got involved in a troubled situation from the very first episode, both involving their respective heroines - These two seemingly normal and level-headed main characters must now learn how to build their relationships with not only the heroines, but the new people around them, many of whom with their own antics and eccentrities. - Both have a wide array of wonderful, lively side characters from all walks of life that helped to keep the show going -If you like your comedy to be a bit on the quirky side, watch Arakawa. For a more straightforward gags, try out Hinamatsuri. One thing for certain, they are certainly not short of some heartfelt and touching moments that never feels out of place  read more 

Characters that are introduced to a new type of world & experience completely new things while making friends with people that help them learn how to properly live in their world. 

If you like a dynamic where men with rough exteriors, dangerous, illegal professions, have to take care of adorable young girls that only cause hassles for them, you will enjoy both of these shows. Both of the girls in these shows are bonkers, with Hina being a little older but not understanding typical human social morays while Miri is absolutely precious but is as chaotic and energetic as some young girls can be. 

They both share a similar plot of being gang agent people forced to take care of a child. They are both funny and lighthearted but still contain emotional moments. They are really heartwarming shows that are easy to binge. Overall very similar type of shows. 

Both are comedies about the daily life of young schoolgirls, with a few weird abilities thrown in here and there.  

Random comedy with ridiculous humour and funny expressions in various situations makes these anime really great. The VAs also did a good job, it makes these two series more funnier. 

wholesome scenes with kids and adults. 

Kid show up at adult's life. Everyone made mistakes and they learn the way. 

These animes are both great slice of lifes, will make you laugh out loud and have some endearing characters and moments that will pull on your heartstrings too. If you love hinamatsuri you'll definitely love my roommate is a cat :) 

both have a smart but stupid mc and a stupid but smart (and overpowered) faithful companion both are REALLY hilarious 

Similarities: Both Sasaki to Pii-chan and Hinamatsuri explore a sense of reverse isekai where the main characters enter the modern world from a fantasy one. They depict protagonists who find themselves navigating unfamiliar environments and societal norms vastly different from their original worlds. This transition serves as a central theme in both series, highlighting the protagonists' adjustments and interactions with modern-day settings. Differences: Sasaki to Pii-chan focuses on economic strategies and interdimensional trading as the protagonist navigates business challenges across different worlds, emphasizing entrepreneurship and the integration of modern knowledge into societal frameworks. In contrast, Hinamatsuri follows a yakuza member who discovers a young girl with supernatural powers and ends up becoming her guardian. The series humorously explores the protagonist's unconventional parenting experiences while balancing comedic elements with poignant character development. Both series provide engaging narratives that play with the concept of reverse isekai, offering unique perspectives on adaptation, relationships, and personal growth in contrasting worlds. read more 

Age gap. Whilst the term is sure no stranger to controversy, an age-gap relationship still made for something enjoyable for at least a quiet majority. Koikimo and Hinamatsuri follow specifically a time between two individuals who vary apart in age, though find themselves in for something that will change their lives. Hinamatsuri, a story of a yakuza and an esper in their daily antics under the father-daughter type relationship. Koikimo, a presented disgusting relationship with womanizer Ryo doing whatever it is to please Ichika. Both are funny, though Koikimo is a romance in comparison to the supernatural Hinamatsuri  

Somali and Hinamatsuri are both stories of men who learn what it means to be fathers. Both revolve around the concept of "dangerous" men learning to love and raise a child, while also hiding the fact that the child has a secret that could jeopardize their wellbeing. Somali is more serious in it's subject matter while Hinamatsuri, conversely, is very comedic and relaxed. Both are quite enjoyable slice-of-life, and the relationships in both stories are very heartwarming. There isn't an episode in either that didn't make me go "Aww" or "Hehe" at least once. If you like father-daughter dynamics, these anime are the way to go.  read more 

Both about single father raising a daughter, both has a top tier comedy, both are wholesome. 

Hinamatsuri shares a similar premise to Higehiro, where a serious man takes in a young girl, letting her live with him and looking after her while still dealing with the preoccupations of his adult life. Hinamatsuri has some more twists, like the girl being a telepath and the man being a member of the yakuza, but the series stays quite grounded despite these quirks - rather than going off on ridiculous tangents related to these supernatural aspects, the series instead opts to explore topics like homelessness and personas in a mature and deep way. Much like Higehiro, the humor is dry and the feel of the show is overall very seinen/adult-ish while still being heartwarming. Hinamatsuri lacks the romantic aspects of Higehiro, but overall the series has a very similar premise and overall feel. Definitely watch this anime if you want something similar in premise and vibe to Higehiro! read more 

Both have themes about innocent young girls befriending badass gangsters Both have pretty authentic portrayals of Bosozoku gangs, bikes and dress (not as the shows' focus... bbut that shit's still cooler than hell)  

The main characters have super powers. The supporting characters take care of them in order not to het out of control. Both are funny anime in their own way. 

Both are comedies with a likable cast that has a bit of sad moments. 

Both shows have a hilarious storyline and the 2 main characters Kongming and Eiko remind me of Nitta and Hina 

If you like comedy anime hinamatsuri is really good it feels like danshi nichijou funny face/ shaded has a little bit of drama/slice of life but holy shit it's funny af
