Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari

These two shows have the same heart at the core of it. Ie Naki Ko is definitely more tragic than Udon's upbeat nature, being about a young boy who's sold off to a traveling musician. But there still is an endearing father/son relationship in both between two people who, while they aren't related, are still family regardless. And this relationship is the central relationship in both shows.

Both are a slice of life in a unique setting with stunning artwork and pleasant characters. The female leads of Amira and Alpha are both outgoing and adventurous women with compassionate hearts and a love of life. While Otoymegatari focuses almost exclusively on romance, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou does have some hints of romance every now and then, and, like Otoyomegatari, it has a younger boy/older female "couple".

Both are baseball centric sports anime that focus on the strong bond between catcher and pitcher. They also both have a slower and more realistic pacing and atmosphere to them.
