add recDoujin Work and Animation Runner Kuromi definitely have the same premise and feel. You will definitely like one if you enjoyed the other. The art style in both contains bright, attractive colours, and the characters are very energetic. In Animation Runner Kuromi and Doujin Work, you'll learn a lot about anime/manga culture, the pressures, and get a "behind the scenes" look - you'll also laugh loads because both titles have a quirky comedy style.
Animation Runner Kuromi and Doujin Work are both comedies that give you an inside look into how doujin and anime gets made.
Neither is high quality, but both are worth a look if you're looking for a quick laugh.
Though Kuromi focuses on animation and (surprise surprise) Doujin Work on doujinshi, both look at aspects of otaku culture. Both anime also have a similar visual style and a good dose of comedy. If you liked one, it's worth watching the other.
Excel Saga
Alt titles: Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga
F City, F Prefecture: the battleground where good and evil have finally chosen to decide once and for all who will rule the world…or at least that's the general idea! Neither side seems up for the task, as surviving the brutality of everyday life is enough of a chore. On the side of evil is the organization of Across, its only member the loudmouthed and abrasive Excel who struggles just to put food in her stomach; on the side of good, three disenfranchised, unemployed bachelors whose only pursuit in life is romance. Add in alien invasions, jungle warfare, and Mexican immigrant laborers to Japan, and this war doesn't seem likely to be ending soon!
