Hyouka

Bakuman and Hyouka really reminded me of each other as they have a similar atmosphere and characters. Similarities: - Two main characters (Chitanda; Hyouka and Miho; Bakuman) look very similar with their hairstyle, they are both a bit timid and I swear they are long lost sisters aha. - Both a slice of life type of anime (with schools). - Both series have two other main characters that have a lovey relationship and are best friends with the other two. - Very similar atmosphere. - Both series leave you wanting more, and for a certain pair to get together. Differences: - Bakuman is based around the idea of manga, whereas Hyouka is more about solving mysteries; and satisfying Chitanda's curiosity. - The art style is different, (if you liked free! check out Hyouka as well as done by same animators) - Oreki has a lazy and laid back attitude. "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, make it quick." Is his motto, whereas bakuman is more about goals, determination and rivals. (Although Hyouka does show some elements of rivalry). If you liked Bakuman I certainly recommend watching Hyouka (and if you've watched free! I'd recommend watching Hyouka too as one character reminds me of Nagisa).

Buddy Complex

I can't say much about Buddy Complex yet as there are only a few episodes that have aired at the moment, but from what I can see of this anime, it gives me a similar atmosphere to Eureka 7. Both anime have mecha and (spoiler alert for Eureka 7) the idea of the future and past. Both amine are set in the future, and have a mysterious girl that comes into the main character's life. The ship in Buddy Complex really reminds of of the Gekkou in Eureka 7, though BC's is blue, while E7's is green. If you enjoy Buddy Complex, I highly recommend that you watch Eureka 7 and vice versa.
