Both of them are about people setting goals and trying to achieve them. They are great and make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. You will find nothing like this on american tv.

Very well crafted stories and the characters are well rounded, both very enjoyable stories about working hard for a dream.
Two stories about the dream of two boys and a path to achieve it. A great humor and the atmosphere. Nice characters.
People trying to archive their dreams, making you feel what they feel and cross your fingers for them.
Setting a goal and following that journey to achieve it. Bakuman and Uchuu Kyoudai builds on the foundation of this idea and transform it into a story. In their perspective stories, the main characters have a dream to become something they always wanted to be. Throughout the course of the story, they face challenges and discover just what it takes to fulfill that dream. There is a decent amount of comedy, drama, and realism in both series. The main character relationship have strong dynamics that are often explored throughout both series.

THIS is the absolute same kind of anime. Except Bakuman has a slightly more shounen feel to it, while Uchuu is a bit more inclined to drama. BUT they both have two very close man male characters who try to achieve their childhood dreams. They both have this empowering nd motivational feel to it and have a lot of funny and hilarious moments that bring you closer to the characters. Both deal with main characters competing with other characters for being the best in what they do.
Somehow I found these two anime similar, though the themes are totally different (manga-space); however, if you like this series then you MUST watch Bakuman. (Whether if you liked Uchuu Kyoudai or not, I would still highly recommend Bakuman for you.) They have a similar style of comedy, and most importantly, they tell stories about people who work really hard in order to achieve their dreams.
Both shows show the long and hard way towards a wished carreer, doing this really professionally. No overpowered leads and realistic complications are shown. Also, both shows have really groovy music.

First of all, the art is extremely similar; however, I know people don't watch anime purely because of art. Not only are both anime extremely original, but both are extremely entertaining, with slice-of-life moments that can be both hilarious and dramatic.
Overall, both Bakuman and Uchuu both tell the tale of normal people who decide to pursue their goals rather than wait for opportunity to come to them.
Both are about striving for your dreams, in a slice of life realistic anime that is positive and upbeat.

Characters working hard to work in the job they dreamed to, these series feature a lovable cast hard to not root for and have a fantastic mix of comedy with really touching moments when you see them getting closer to their objectives, super motivating series.

Both series involve a main male character who has a childhood dream that, for various reasons, gets pushed aside. Within the first episode (or 2), that dream gets pushed back into the forefront. Thereafter, both series largely follow the journey of the respective main characters as they try to accomplish their career dreams (in Bakuman, that involves Moritaka trying to become a successful manga artist, and in Space Bros., that involves Muuta trying to become an astronaut). Bakuman and Space Brothers also give viewers some (probably realistic) insight into what it takes to be a published manga artist and a NASA/JAXA astronaut, respectively. On balance
