Both stories involve a friendship between a kind-hearted human and an innocent fish (taking on the appearance of a human). Ponyo is about an innocent love between two children, where Tsuritama is about creating friendships and working hard to understand each other.
Both mention the story of a goddess and are in a island. Both have a character that can live under water. Water,friendship and the goal to save a place after a calamity arrives are the central themes.

Both have stunning oceanic animation, making use of many bright and bold colors, with an 'alien'-ish character living with a human. Fun and uplifting.

-Perfect vibe for summer break!--heartwarming and happy seaside fun
-fish, that are people, that are actually fish, that are really treasured friends (@_@) fish are friends, not food?
-Beautiful scenes centered around the magical, mystical ocean,
-and protective fathers
-friendly, welcoming mother figures
-flooding of a village
-being lost at sea
-being friends forever
Both are light-hearted with nice colour palettes, set close to the ocean, and about a friendship between a human and a fish taking the form of a human (strange as that sounds) They're both nice and short to watch when you feel down, though Tsuritama is a 12 episode series while GUP is only a movie.
Both about fish
with supernatural powers
both take place near the sea
and nice visuals
In both Ponyo and Tsuritama, they are both set in a peaceful fishing town. Until overtaken by aquatic life under the control of a magical power, they must set out to try and restore peace to the land. Both series seem to bring out a bit of an innocent and adventurous young spirit.
