Very similar style (same director) telling very different stories, but a lot of the themes are carried across both. Interesting characters with their fair share of drama and problems to sort out. Both like to sometimes be abstract with some of the story telling, leaving lots up to interpretation.
If you like any show directed by Ikuhara and want something similar, you have to watch another show by Ikuhara. That's because his anime isn't similar to anything else besides his own stuff.
Both Penguindrum and Sarazanmai are full of methaphores, beautiful magical girl-like sequences and great animation. Mawaru Penguindrum is about two boys doing his best to save the life of their little sister; it's a story about destiny. Sarazanmai is a story of three boys who are trying to connect with someone they love; it's a story about connections. They're equally insane and amazing in their own way, and the story-telling is very

Penguindrum is a one of a kind show.
Ikuhara's 'Sarazanmai' is the first thing since to achieve the same feeling. Glad to have him back.
I was actually surprised these weren't made by the same person. They're both bizarre, emotional, and explores its themes in a more unusual and complex way than most would. They're both the kind of shows you think '...who on earth dreamt this up'. Sarazanmai is a definitely a lot easier to follow though.
Both anime have a similar, colourful and surreal artstyle. The humour in both is also pretty similar. They both have outlandish visuals, and a storyline that seems to focus on relationships and people's insecurity in themselves.
Both series also seem to have quite a lot of symbolism and foreshadowing.

The artstyle, the way it's directed the comedy that has a deeper meaning hidden behind it are all similar.
Both of these shows share the same wild director that is Ikuhara, thus it speaks for itself that these two shows would be similar. However, if you are interested in Ikuhara's work you would find that these two shows are the most similar. Sarazanmai and Penguindrum share the most striking similarities out of all his work. Worth a shot if you like one or the other!

Modern works of Ikuhara Kunihiko that share a very similar art style despite being from different studios. They are surreal avant-garde anime that are character-centric and have heavy usage of symbolism. They both feature a sakuga-filled musical scenario that is played in most episodes, and they have stories with deeper meanings that get revealed over time. They also use small, non-human creatures to represent some aspect of the characters.
