Whereas Uramichi Oniisan goes further in on the cynicism and comedy in the workplace, Hakozume: Kouban Joshi no Gyakushuu has a similar feel of the cynicism around the workplace too but around working as an on-the-beat police officer. Kouban Joshi does touch on some more sensitive topics and is more down to earth – a good recommendation if the Uramichi comedy was too slapstick for your tastes.

Both are about work life with some comedy on it. Both mc deal with some problem in their workspace. If you enjoy hakozume, Nami yo Kiitekure will be the best choice to watch

Psycho-Pass is a more thrilling version of Hakozume.

Similarities: - Both are police animes - Both have two main characters who get closer to each other than the rest of the force. - They both have an experienced worker being moved down to work with the lowest in the police force. Differences: - Fugou Keiji has a lot more action whilst Hakozume is more slice of life based. - The main characters are boys and boys and girls and girls. - Fujou gets more into cases and doesn't get into normalised police work, Hakozume does.

Both series focus on the day-to-day lives of characters in emergency services, Se see them in action allot, but also plenty of down time at the station or off the clock. Really helps to emphasize that emergency responders are people to, just like you and me.

If you like "Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu", then you should take a sneak peek at the series "Ex-Driver". In both anime, the main characters are a cool duo (or trio). In "Hakozume" they are policewomen and in "Ex-Driver" two high school girls. The plot is also similar: the policewomen chase/punish traffic offenders and in "Ex-Driver" the high school girls chase cars with defects. In both anime there are chases, word fights and comedy. Visually, the series are nice to look at and with good BGM as well as dubbing, also very entertaining. Personally, I find "Ex-Dirver", although much older, a bit cooler. The character  read more

The synopsis of "Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu" reads like that of the anime "Taiho Shichau zo (TV)". That's why I would like to recommend the policewoman duo Natsumi and Miyuki to you. In both series we accompany the main characters on their adventures in the police service. "Taiho Shichau zo" is from 1996, but the series has a great drawing style. The mangaka of the original Fujishima Kōsuke is a fan of cars and motorbikes, so the drawings are very detailed. Moreover, automotive history is represented here, from the BMW 3 to Ferrari Maranello and Toyota Supra. Personally, I particularly like the character of  read more

Both shows try and succeed to break the "stereotype" mold so to speak. In a field where you'd expect a male person to either have a hobby (fixing a bike) or work (policeman) at, in both shows there are female characters handling the situations. Both shows have good art style / animation as well.

Both are police slice-of-life series, though Rail Wars is ecchi and train-focused, while Hakozume is more varied but mundane
