Zankyou no Terror

The first episode of Zankyou no Terror made me think of Mawaru Penguidrum immediately. Parallels between the Boiler Room and the testing facilities can be drawn since it's about abandoned kids. The terrorism that doesn't quite make sense. Trio with weak female lead but a strong bond between the two males. The art is pretty similar, but while ZnT makes use of more earthen dark tones, MP uses neon colors and abstract patterns.

Kuroko no Basket

- Popular Shounen animes - Kuroko and Takumi have similar personalities in that they are really blank and deadpan most of the time. They don't show strong emotions and generally act spacey despite being the protagonists. - Focus is on the action, so you get plenty of court time in KnB and plenty of street time in Initial D. - Little character development yet they have many solid flat characters that are still able to contribute and further the story. - Badly written female characters that will make many women cringe. - Good clean fun between competitors. Even though there is a lot of smack talking in both, the challengers are people who love the sports and take it seriously. So you don't really get petty antagonists.

Hyouka

The art in these two animes are spectacular and very similar to each other despite not being from the same studios. You can also draw parallels between Minko (from Iroha) and Oreki (Hyouka) as well as between Ohana (Iroha) and Chitanda (Hyouka). Both also carry the same gentle and relaxed flow to the story progression. Both can be described as good Summer feeling animes.

Usagi Drop

Usagi Drop is an easy going slice-of-life while Moribito is more about action and monsters. But ultimately, both boil down to being about a single adult trying to take care of a child. If you enjoy a story that explores the development of parental feelings, then these aren't that different.
