Shirobako

Bakuman is a shounen about creating Manga. Shirobako is a slice of life about Anime production. While being in different genres, these stories take it upon themselves to make the process of making the media we love into a quality narrative with characters that you want to succeed. If you enjoyed watching the process, watch these.

Both anime take place at a school in which the main character group can challenge others to battles. Angel Beats limits the combat to only against Kanade, and BakaTest has it against all the other classes, but both the characters from the SSS and class 2-f will make you laugh as they go throughout their many plans.

Class 2-F and 3-E are not expected to do well at all, yet they have their sights on over taking the Class A jerks. Sure their reasons and methods differ, but in both you have a solid group of characters plotting (militaristically) to take down the higher classes.

These both take place at a school where the main male protagonist is unlike any other, Saito being a familiar and Akihisa being the Probate. The main difference between the two characters is that Saito becomes smarter, where Aki deserves the title "Idiot".

Both series have a MC that is Overpowered, yet in his first appearance appears weak. After that he shows power and starts to get a harem of the various girls from his school. Also, the reason he goes to the school is because he needs to win a tournament, in which the victor is granted a wish.

Both series are Rom-coms where most of the possible love interests are not human. In one it's Cuthulu monsters, the other is Mermaids. In both, they cast keeps growing, adding more characters with their wacky traits and personalities. They both use what I call "compounding humor" which means the minuscule details that occur earlier will either be brought up or foreshadow an event that will happen in a few minutes or episodes. Also, the main guy is more forced to be in the situation that he is and often makes note that it is not preferable.

When given the two choices, one being death and the other being destruction, the MC choses a third, unthought of, option. The MC then begins to learn (and wanting to take short cuts) about how to use their power, and its clear that they will have to battle evil soon. These have a similar story, and are worth checking out

Fabulous OST first of all, but these are deserving of their high ratings. Both have a story that is very strong and interesting to follow, and by rewatching these you can see new things that you hadn't the first time. Both story's are incredibly well told with twists and turns, but the entire thing is covered in foreshadowing. Along with beautiful art style, I am really glad that they both receive credit for all of the amazing attributes of these anime

How to start a season 2??? These both do it wonderfully. In just the first episodes, the series ideas and background (as well as basic idea of what happened in season 1) are explained in a unique fashion that makes it entertaining for the returning viewer and informational enough of the new one I recommend watching season 1 of each first, but check them out

Once of the best parts of these series is that in the end everything turns out alright, even when it was not because of a plan by the main characters. Both of the comedies will give you at least a few good laughs.

Both series are romantic comedies. The characters have similar traits, even though the characters are not just copy/paste. For example in Renai Boukun, Yuzu loving Akane is like how Cthuko loves Nyaruko. But Yuzu's more timid nature falls under Hasuta's personality. Anyways, both series are filled with references that parody other series to Ghostbusters and Men in Black. check them out

Imagine if you will, a world where Tatsuya Shiba (who now has emotions and is lazy) became a teacher. That would basically be this show as Glenn can cancel out magic, use high powered spells, and knows physical combat skills. Plus the needless part that they both take place at a magic high school gives it a familiar setting

Stuck in another world? An over used genre, sure, but both of these are extremely well made. The main protagonist is intelligent and lucky, so most things end up ok. Both No Game No Life and Konosuba are hilarious. They include a God character, and the main character treats them as an equal or in a casual manner at least.
