Similar comedy style, its offbeat and centers around the lives of a group of high school girls. 

report Recommended by nike13

Lucky Star's comedy is mostly being carried by Hirano Aya, and the rest of the gang play off her character. For Azumanga Daioh, everyone on the team works together with the others, so they function like a group, each is funny in her own way and they play off among on another. Lucky Star is basically talking about high school nothing, ala the Seinfeld Style. For Azumanga Daioh, there are very small arcs for the purpose of driving forward humor. Both  4koma-turned-anime shows about school with Azumanga Daioh being a little more slapstick and less Otaku humor driven. 

report Recommended by rayyhum777

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are comedies that rely on slice of life moments without a definite plot. Both follow a group of Highschool girls and the humour is derived from the interaction between the members of the cast, most of which display a zany behaviour. Azumanga Daioh's appeal might be wider while Lucky Star includes some otaku jokes that might be lost to many but both titles are likely to interest the same kind of public.

 

report Recommended by Nocturnal

Both are utterly plotless relying solely on the personalities of each of the characters for the comedy. Lucky star is, in effect, Azumanga daioh in a brand new skin. 

report Recommended by Isumers

Both animes are about a group of normal (or not so normal) girls just trying to make their way through high school. These series have lots of running gags and clever one-liners that you'll come to remember them for. While Lucky Star is more for the otakus since it contains lots of references to other anime and Japanese culture, both contain characters you will fall in love with and will make you look at school and life in general in a humorous type of way.

Well, they have a similar feel to it and they're both slice of life and comedy anime. The difference though is that Lucky Star has references to several anime and to the Japanese culture. But other than that, both shows are pretty similar in following the lives of a group of high school girls. 

report Recommended by Mellie

Both these shows revolve around a group of high school girls, their experience of high school and their personal lives. But in contrast to Lucky Star's brightly colored animations azumanga's animation is more dull to put focus on the fact that it wants you to pay more attention to the jokes and the physical comedy.  

report Recommended by Slaasher

Both are completely random comedies set in high school, and neither of them really have all that much of a plot. The main difference is really just that Lucky Star uses a lot of references to other shows in almost every single episode, so Azumanga might be a lot easier to "get" for people who haven't seen that many anime-series before.

Both simply follow the lives of a small group of lovable characters in their daily lives, with tons of comedic material thrown in.

It is also based on high school life. The charaters are almost the same way, but Lucky Star has Konata. She is an anime lover, a gamer, and the best cramer you'll ever meet! Kagami is kinda like Yomi. Always telling Konata to do her homework. And seems to always make her point. Tsukasa is like Osaka! Only Osaka is funnier, and Tsukasa is Stupider. Then brains with the biggest breats, Myuki! Overall i have to say Lucky Star is one of the funniest animes out there. Hope you watch and enjoy!

They're both funny, Slice of Life type anime that focus on girls in high school doing what you'd expect. Personally I think Lucky Star is a little harder to get it to due to it's starting point, and it doesn't have as much charm as Azumanga, but this isn't too much of a bother seeing as everything done right is done really well. Lucky Star's main character is an Otaku, which adds whole new comedy to the table as well as adding in reference to hard core anime fans. If you like Azumanga Daioh, i'm pretty sure you'll like this, so why not give it a shot =) read more

Flagship comedy of Japanese animation. These names are pretty-much Mr.Bean of anime world at its time. High-profile, funny, not plotless but whogivesashit, feature stereotypical moe girl of its era, and appeal to majority male anime audiences (a.k.a. freaky otaku.)

Both looks at the daily lives of high school girls that often display very mundane conversations/activities into hilarious outcomes. I do have to mention, however, that Norio Wakamoto had a larger role in Azumanga Daioh than Nichijou. Just sayin'.

Nichijou is based on a similar idea as Azumanga - it shows everyday life of a selected group of schoolgirls. But where Azumanga drops the laughing parts and gets on a more mellow and heartcatching atmosphere Nichijou keeps its pace. Personally I consider Nichijou to be a much more wonderful, memorable, emotional experience. It made me laugh so many times and also cry so many times. And it is the first anime I truly and sincerely wanted to continue forever.

Both of them revolve around the everyday life of several school girls and the weird happenings that they get into.

Nichijou is a little more weird and it has more characters, while Azumanga Daioh spends more time focusing on one group of characters. 

report Recommended by supersloth

Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh are both high school comedies that follow a segmented format (where each episode is divided into a number of "mini-episodes").  Both rely more on physical comedy and non-sequitur or absurdness than wit as the base of their humor. Neither of the two pay very dedicated attention to realism, with Nichijou in particular being quite surreal for certain segments.

A cast of female characters in a school setting. Both contain very little, if any, storyline, but rather focus on pure comedy. Nichijou is much more random in comparison, but both pull off jokes extremely well.

Both have very silly, nearly nonsensical humor that doesn't rely on pop-references to deliver.  While Nichijou is more over-the-top and dramatic in its reality-defying antics and Azumanga Daioh has a more dream-like quality to it, the pacing across each is very similar.

I feel that Nichijou is the spiritual successor to Azumanga Daioh in that Nichijou is like Azumanga Daioh on crack. Some of the character designs are reminiscent of Azumanga Daioh, and it has a similar short-skit kind of feel to it, but Nichijou's art, cast of characters, and jokes are more fast-paced and crazy, showing how the genre has progressed over the 9 years difference between the two.

Azumanga Daioh has a more story driven plot with humour thrown into it (great humour at that), whereas Nichijou is entirely just there for the laughs, where there is no real main story line but, rather scenes from character's day to day life that are very... peculiar.

Both animes focus on everyday lives of a group of high school girls with eccentric and sometimes over the top humor. In many cases, both also have skits involving separate characters outside of our main cast, although its more prevalent in Nichijou . It's no secret that Azumanga Daioh started the trend of slice of life comedies for Kyoto Animation in which Nichijou is largely inspired by.

very similar genre. both about daily life but with a heavy comedic undertone. meant to be over the top. its about nothing,  yet so much 

report Recommended by yukiji_conan

Azumanga Daioh walked so that Nichijou could run. Together with other animes from the mid 2000s such as Gintama and Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei Azumanga Daioh helped pave the way for and inspire future iterations of the comedy genre.

Most of the gags in the Azumanga Daioh are prolonged, so as to show the ridiculousness of the situations the characters find themselves in. Similiarly in Nichijou, the scenes often go so far that you'll start questioning how many more jokes they'll be able to fit in the skit.

Apart from the longer sketches in the shows they also have their share of short jokes, often of the fairly esoteric kind. This is especially true for Nichijou, in which most of the sketches are part of their own miniseries, like for example Helvetica Standard (which has become a quite popular meme) or the Rock, paper, scissors sketches.

The episodes of Azumanga Daioh are generally more thematically structured then the ones of Nichijou, with a few exceptions, notably among the aforementioned's final episodes. Therefore, you'll be able to foresee some of the events that'll occur in the episode your watching, excluding when they throw curveballs your way of course.

Compared to Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou has a more formulaic approach to creating jokes, even though they share the same degree of quirkiness. Typically in Azumanga Daioh, the hilarity comes from the absurdity of the jokes and how nonchalantly the show thrives in these situations. Meanwhile, Nichijou's punchlines are usually clearer, but the enjoyment of the humour still come from the same basic idea.

In spite of a few differences, Nichijou is in my opinion certainly a great series to check out if you appreciate goofy comedy shows like Azumanga Daioh. read more

Nichijou is a surreal spin on the slice of life genre that focuses on slapstick comedy, playing off the weird and wacky occurrences as "everyday life" (as the title implies). Do not think of the show as having a coherent timeline, and more like a series of sketches set in a singular universe.

Azumanga Daioh is a more grounded slice of life with a cohesive timeline of events, from freshman year to senior year, playing out an entire high school experience between a cast of friends. It's simple, calm, and nostalgic, and the characters and their differing personalities play off eachother really well.

Azumanga Daioh is the unofficial pre-requisite to Nichijou. The type of humor and randomness took a lot of cliff notes from Azumanga Daioh.

Minami-ke seems to draw stylistically from Azumanga Daioh in several ways. In short, if you loved Azumanga, then this enjoyable clone takes the formula of a character-driven narrative and throws in male characters. Kana (the middle sister of the Minami household) in particular seems heavily inspired by Azumanga Daioh.

In short, it's the exact sort of crazy humour that is in Azumanga Daioh, but unlike other similar titles like Lucky Star (which I still think is really good) it doesn't actually feel like a direct clone. Sure, in a sense it's just sisters instead of highschool friends, but it's enough to make it feel fresh and allows it to have the same genre and style as Azumanga without feeling like a rip-off.

I don't really see how anyone could enjoy Azumanga and not enjoy this really. 

report Recommended by RostiLFC

Not only are both of them slice of "school" life anime but both focus more on the tiny aspects of life rather than the characters that lots of other slice of life animes seem to do.
The difference is that minami-ke only deals with tiny aspects of life (in a hilarious way), whereas Azumanga Daioh is less realistic.

Azumanga Daioh is a first generation school life anime. While not music-based and still random (seeing its a general school life genre), it has a more meaningful and funny storyline than K-ON! with a broader variety of characters.

Both are kind of care free, and while K-On has more of a storyline, it is pretty much an episode by episode show filled with carefree fun.

Azumanga Daioh and K-ON share a similar feeling. The main characters are all girls from school, and comedy is an important part. Also, the type of jolly and sometimes random humour is very alike.  

report Recommended by andredrezefilth

Well, K-on! is more or less evolutioned azumanga. Both are moe-slice comedies, and K-on! is similar in a lot of small details like Mugi eyebrows=Chio pigtails and other stuff like that.
A lot of tempers remain the same also, Sawako is more or less equal to Yukari, for example.
Although K-on! has only one "salty" joke unlike azumanga, both shows remain a lot of similarities and if you liked one you should probably enjoy the other one. 

report Recommended by Vizvezdenec

Just like K-on, Azumanga contains cute girls living their best school life but it represents the characters with a deeper layer of personality and has different levels of development as the anime passes through the years. Basically, Azumanga can be synthesized as an adult version of k-on which makes you think about how each character feels about each event or how they see life itself, and, most importantly, it has funny scenes involving Chiyo-chan.

Strawberry Marshmallow is of a similar genre, style and era to Azumanga Daioh and is based on a manga which was published in the same magazine as Azumanga Daioh. The authors of the two series have in fact met in real life and Barasui even made a short one-shot manga about their meeting. With those connections, it's easy to see why there might be some overlap in appeal. If you enjoy comedic slice-of-life series with moe characters then Strawberry Marshmallow is among the best. It not only succeeds in the moe aspect but is hilarious as well.

This entire series is also on youtube, so huge plus there for YT users.

For slice-of-life shows, Tonari no Seki-kun and Azumanga Daioh take it to a level of fascination with its small, yet colorful cast of characters. Innovative ideas about simple school life are transformed into absurdities that will draw in your attention. The dialogues spoken have the strength to bring attention toward both what's happening and the characters themselves. And because both series take place in a school life setting, you'll expect plenty of activities going around.

Brainrot from different angle. Shikanoko Noko is a mix of every main character from Azumanga and a deer. (Take this however you like.)

Azumanga is more subtle with its comedic timing and humor, while this is not always the case with Shikanoko Nokonoko. And because Azumanga is an older title, its animation is bit outdated. But I believe this helps Azumanga with the storytelling, so honestly, it's not a bad thing. 

In the end, if you want to shut down your brain and laugh a bit, both are great choices for that.

Both these animes are rather light-hearted; "Whisper of the Heart" being  deeper  and more realistic while "Azumanga Daioh" is clearly more of a comedy.

Alien 9 addpermalink

Both take place in a school setting and have similar character art. Both have bizarre situations based on the sci-fi elements in Alien Nine and the overall comedic elements in Azumanga Daioh. If you like the weirdness in either one, you should watch the other.

Mameshiba addpermalink

Random and quirky facts about life! Presented to you by Osaka (Azumanga Daioh) and those cute dog-faced beans (Mameshiba).

Soul Eater addpermalink

WELL, it is obviously going to take some explaining on my part for this:

Genre-defyers. Does that make much sense?
AzuDai: When you hear "school life", or "slice of life", what do you think? Boring, typical old shoujo-y episodes of  girls fawning over boys that never notice them and "schooltime antics" ensuing? Well, if you've ever seen AzuDai, you will know it stretches the "schoolife"/"slice of life" definitions to a breaking point, most with types of humour ranging from dark humour to outright crack. Simply put it is very unique.

Soul Eater: YEAH, IT'S A SHOUNEN. But not with overly long story arcs, characters constanlty trying to overpower each other battle after battle...and a "will to fight" (insanity) that for once, is not overused. Again, I stress unique-ness.

Therefore, I make this reccomendation not for similar storylines or characters, but for those out there who have either enjoyed AzuDai or Soul Eater and again, wants something that hasn't been done twenty times over. read more

K-On! Movie addpermalink

Very similar kind of aura and atmosphere to K-On, obviously Azumanga came first and is an absolute classic. Same type of characters and engaging episodes.

Ninin ga Shinobuden addpermalink

Both are comedy anime with no real plots. The episodes are very random. While Azumanga takes place in a normal school, Shinobuden takes place in a ninja school.

Wind: A Breath of Heart (TV) addpermalink

both series have wierdo looking girls, osaka kasuga and hikari tsukishiro, although osaka is smiling while hikari is more serious, plus both series have cheery, childish girls chiyo mihama and hinata okano, and have long-haired, glasses wearing ladies, yomi mizuhara and kasumi shikohin. the difference though is that azumanga daioh is more comedic while wind a breath of heart is more on romance and drama with some humor thanks to tachibana. in some instances, makoto and tsutomu are like the male versions of yomi and tomi, with makoto being the male version of yomi and tsutomu, the male version of tomo

Koi Koi 7 addpermalink

two series featuring 6 crazy and wacky girls.. give these two a crossover and surely, osaka might even imagine chiyo fighting alongside sakuya kamatsuri.. with the former using her pigtails as weapons(one pair of pigtails will be used either as joysticks for chiyo's jetpack, another pair as lightsabers, and another to hold a bazooka). also, hifumi and sakaki both loves animals specially for sakaki's case, cats

Chitose Get You!! addpermalink

The teachers are nearly the same in both series. Overall: fun school life with jokes, puns, and physically comedy in small bits since both were originally 4-komas.

Plastic Neesan addpermalink

Both are comedies that follow a group of schoolgirls and their everyday life, portrayed in random and absurd-like manner. Plastic Neesan contains more ecchi and ecchi-based jokes though.

Dash! Kappei addpermalink

It's a school / comedy like azumanga daioh though it's comedy style is way more different. it's more random/wacky/interesting.Iit has an animal as one of the main charaters too but pulled off more in depth and better.

Morita-san wa Mukuchi. addpermalink

Morita-san has a similar style of "realistic" slice-of-life comedy, and is presented in short episodes (much like Azumanga originally was).

Bamboo Blade addpermalink

Both are comedies centering on a group of cute high school girls, yet (refreshingly) neither relies on sexy fanservice for its appeal, giving each a similarly lighthearted and simply charming atmosphere. The appeal comes straight from the quirky characters with their charming personalities, including some likable teacher characters for support. Beyond their humor, both also manage to deliver some heartwarming and relatable emotion in their latter halves.

How no one did this yet is beyond me. Again, a group of girls just doing stuff (everyday stuff), but Azu is better. Watch it. It's a masterpiece.

Kill Me Baby addpermalink

Also based off a 4-koma with similar day-to-dayesque humor.

Oruchuban Ebichu addpermalink

Comedy series which are both very silly in nature, although Ebichu is a lot more adult-oriented, and Azumanga is school-life. Ebichu and her master are comparable to Yomi and Tomo, in that one character teases and annoys the other, more serious character.

Lamune addpermalink

both series consists of 6 girls, though azumanga daioh has no guys. plus both have the most annoying girls tomo takino and hikari nakazato, and kagura's good-tempered nature is similar to tae isawa, although lamune is the drama version while azumanga daioh is the comedy version

Amagami SS addpermalink

both are school settings. kagura and ai nanasaki are members of the swimming team, all the characters have their own image songs, and miss takahashi seems to remind me of yukari tanizaki

School Rumble Ni Gakki addpermalink

Two comedies are amusing!
the difference is that in SR also shows the point of view of a boy, unlike AMD.
In both anime unimaginable things happen!
The unique personalities and sometimes of absurd characters, makes it even more interesting!

Di Gi Charat addpermalink

Both are comedies which contain episodes from girls' life. The difference is that Azumanga Daioh is realistic and Di Gi Charat is completely absurd.
