Shinnosuke and Rieko (both main characters) have a lot in common, even tho' one's not even 10 (I think) and the other is a full-grown adult with a family. Then again, Shinnosuke has a lot in common with even the two annoying kids and the drunk dad. Both anime's deliver great and humorous sketches throughout the show with two or three shorts an episode. Although Mainichi Kaa-san has an actual plot going on "in the background", Crayon Shin-chan doesn't.

Both manga's art are alike, while the main characters are almost identical ('cept for their IQ), the battle's bring the manga to a whole new level and the parts between the battle's (not so much in Zan) are a bit dramatic.

Chi's Sweet Home: Atarashii Ouchi

Both set in simple surroundings and settings (although AY is more simple than Chi), both feature animals in fun, comedic, heartwarming, and dramatic (less in Chi) scenes in they're series. Although Animal Yokocho features three animals from "another realm", Chiizuu just features a normal cat . Chiizuu follows more a realistic plot based on things that really might happen or does happen with cats, while Animal Yokocho is full with weird stuff (hence: "another realm" earlier). Both very enjoyable for young kids, and adults.

In both shows, the main protagonist gets a whole new view of the world. Namely through Magic/Alchemy and Death Gods/Restorations. They end up in a difficult plot, which can get themselves or the people they want to protect killed. Both situations get out of control as a higher evil organization starts to meddle. Both action-packed, with the needed amount of humor and variaty of characters.

Although one goes from the woods to the city, and the other one goes from the Human World to a Magic World, there are alot of similarities, namely the misunderstandings in relationships, the hardships they have to go through to find their (true) "love".

Both main characters get into an rather unfortunate situation, one ends up at a school of monsters, and one ends up at a magic school. Both are in a situation, that when they tell they are human, they die. So both keep it quiet and keep acting. They get in several fights dangering their identity, but through monstrous and magical friends, they survive and keep getting into weird situations, great fights and humorous scene's.

Digimon Next

Digimon and Pokémon have a lot of recommendations, and most people say they're exactly the same, well they ain't, but one can be recommended once you've seen/read the other. The same in this case. Digimon Next happens in the near future, where like usual, some youngsters get in the Digital World by accident, they get a partner, a Digimon and get in all kinds of trouble and adventures with them. This is basically the same as in Pokémon, they get a partner(s) and get in the same kind of trouble and adventures. In both manga's the lead characters have to cross the land/world for they're goal, the art almost similar in this case, although I enjoyed myself more with the Digimon manga, the Pokémon manga can be enjoyed too. Both look-a-like in most cases, they just play off in different times. But I can defintly recommend the one if you read the other.

For the real "otaku's", I'll say: Both have ecchi. For people who actually care about the shows and not just animated boobs. Although Umisho deals with Ecchi overall, in Tonagura! they only deal with ecchi of one person point-of-view. The art does match quite a bit, but the story's are different on multiply levels. But then again, the art's pretty much the same, just like some characters are similar. The comedy are both of the same factor, and some situations are exactly the same.

While one deals with outerspace aliens, lots of ecchi and humor and the other one deals with swimming humans and lots of ecchi and humor.. there's not much of a difference in it.

Like One Piece Bleach contains lots and lots of awesome action. Most of the time it's like.. nonstop action. Humor is a part of the anime too, just like in One Piece. Both of them are ongoing series, and the animation of Bleach just kicks ass (at the current episodes, 200 and 450+). The story's done great and the characters are amazing, the development of the story and characters are done great too.
