Young brother-sister pairs struggle through a time of crisis. In one tale, we have a young girl and her kid brother dealing with the aftermath of a serious earthquake, and in the other we watch as young boy and his toddler sister live through the gruesome Second World War. The recipe for a tearjerker has been perfected, so you better bring a box of tissues.

The creators of these two adorable shows crafted their characters and the environment in a way that is so believable and realistic. There's great attention to detail that surfaces in both the sound work and silent scenes. Dialogue is not the only driving force; they take full advantage of "show don't tell" techniques. If you enjoyed one of these mundane yet heartwarming stories, then I'd recommend you watch the other.

The character designs, color palette, and action sequences in these two anime showcase Ryo-timo's signature style of bright colors and simple but flashy animations. If you're a fan of the art style and animation of one of these shows, then I'd definitely recommend you watch the other.

These are two ridiculous slapstick comedies with top level parodies and some of the most eccentric characters you'll ever meet. They mostly reference popular anime and movie titles, so both casual and hardcore anime enthusiasts will get some good laughs.

Two fun-loving female leads insert themselves into a slice-of-life comedy that revolves around music. While Nodame Cantabile leans towards slapstick and romance, and K-on is more "cute girls doing cute things", they both feature a very similar sense of humor and an overall lighthearted, relaxing mood.

The stories are centered around the reminiscences of elderly protagonists who are prominent figures in the entertainment industry.

Mysterious entities grant our cast of nonhuman main characters the ability to transform into humans so long that certain conditions are met. These seemingly lighthearted anime take place in a an environment full of mystery and fantasy. The stories revolve around factitious fairy tales which are referenced throughout the anime and are chock-full of symbolism.

If you liked Hachimitsu to Clover add

...then you might like Shirobako add

These shows consist of a group of friends who are trying to make it in a challenging industry. The characters are dealing with the early years of transitioning from school to the work workforce. Their minds are preoccupied with questions about their desires, goals, and futures. Shirobako feels like Hachimitsu to Clover but with a larger focus on the industry instead of romance.

...then you might like Hibike! Euphonium add

These inspiring anime tell of how a nonchalant attitude can inhibit the potential young people and of the rewards that come from standing out from the crowd. The protagonists are met with a unique character whom they don't understand and initially criticize, but as the story progresses and with the help of these nonconformist characters, their perspectives begin to shift.
