Golden Time addpermalink

College life is indeed different from High School Days because this age is the epitome and the last light of youth. In college, it's really important to enjoy life to the fullest because there can never be a time like this afterwards. 

Golden Time may be a close description of college life since it contains the slice of life in dormitories, extra curricular activities romance, etc. 

If you found that series too serious and dramatic, then you might be able to enjoy Grand Blue. It feels that Grand Blue is the remedy needed if you are still hungover after finishing Golden Time. Well that's just what I think but give it a try.  read more

Arakawa Under the Bridge addpermalink

Just another random but very funny comedy show. 

Both don't really have interesting plots. But both have unique characters and lots of funny moments. It's a different setting, story and characters, but watching both shows will feel pretty much the same.

Absurdity of the jokes

Covers everything on their theme (Diving, Men being men, Youth life). In Seto no Hanayome (Gangster, Sea life, Parodies)

Great interaction between all their members

Absurd facial expressions

Back Street Girls: Gokudolls addpermalink

Both have some degree of alcoholism and funny faces (I can't think of a better way to put it) that are so similar that I genuinely thought the same studio made both. Both are comedies, though Gokudolls is definitely dark humor while Grand Blue is more lighhearted.

Amanchu! addpermalink

As a diver, 18 meters under the sea surface is one of the least likely places for me to encounter otaku. Grand Blue and Amanchu are the two anime about diving, except that they really aren't about diving. Both are mostly comedy/SoL anime with a few diving episodes; GB focuses more on the comedy aspect while Amanchu focuses on the SoL aspect; and I can tell you that both are top anime in their respective genres so I can really recommend you to watch them. So still it's one of the best ways for hikkikomori to discover the beauty of 18 meters under the sea (somehow one of GB's characters is a moe-buta and goes diving; but he's kinda forces into it) read more

Mob Psycho 100 addpermalink

What does a show about diving and a show about supernatural, telekinetic powers have in common? The body improvement club! While they serve different purposes narratively, the muscular dudes in both Grand Blue and Mob Psycho serve as the lovable guidance in the series that help the protagonist grow into a better person through their sheer kindness and willpower.

Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! addpermalink

Both extremely funny shows that occur in the college era. Uzaki is still going on tho. Both shows have a cool casting characters, and barely do diving.

Aho Girl addpermalink

They both use the same plot device of having no real plot, rather they construct situations in which they put the characters like providing copious amounts alcohol to a tennis match or introducing the most beautiful dog to the most emotionally broken student and seeing the bitter sweet but hilarious healing of both parties. 
 These shows are just beautiful in general.

Genshiken addpermalink

Genshiken and Grand Blue are arguably the best examples of college club life and all of their chaotic everyday lives and somehow complex web of relationships who won't fail you to make you laugh.

Mostly Genshiken centers about otaku life and the insides of the Society of Study of Modern Visual Culture, a club who basically doesn't do nothing. Grand Blue has the similar theme of the Diving Club, where all happens but the actual diving, also there's quite a liking in GB for drinking alcohol.

In both animes, the males are the ones who actually lead the comedy their respective shows, the new guy (Sasahara and Kitahara), the hot blonde but hardcore otaku guy (Kohsaka and Imamura), the sturdy guys, the hot girl who is very extrovert (Ono and Azusa), and of course the cold and distant female (Saki and Chisa).

For older anime fans, Genshiken and Grand Blue are absolutely the finest adult slice of life animes that currently exist. read more

MC in both series get to the sports club. But crazy characters do anything but a sport. In both series humor is perverted and dirty.
