Azumanga Daioh

Lucky Star is an anime also based on 4-panel manga, and thus, shares success with Azumanga Daioh in it's simplicity and non-sequiter (absurd/random) humour.

Much like Azumanga Daioh, each episode is essentially standalone and filled with the quirky relationships between a close group of high school friends. Each character of the series has a distinct personality that allows for loads of crazy interactions with eachother (albeit slightly less random). If you liked that aspect of Azumanga, this is a must-watch.

An excellent choice for those who want to have another lighthearted, slice-of-life series to simply pick up and enjoy without extra baggage.

The style of humor is very similar in Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, but in Lucky Star there are references to other anime (usually jokes about fan behavior also).

Lucky Star is just another good humor+slice of (high school) anime.

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are about absolutely nothing - with surprisingly good results. Both animes are heavily character driven, and there is also a fair share of cute girls, skeptical girls, and silly teachers.

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star portray the lives of a group of schoolgirls during their high-school years, and they also share a similar sense of humor.

Both Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh are 100% plotless (but cute, funny and realistic) series about a bunch of High School girls with quirky personalities.

If you like Lucky Star or Azumanga, I'd say you're nearly guaranteed to like the other; both have the same loose-humor tone, including the same sorts of activities (summer vacation, sports festivals, etc). Both also manage to be realistic about day-to-day school life, yet still are funny, cute, and surprisingly, not boring (unlike To Heart).

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are 'slice of life' anime in the very essence of it. Both anime follow the everyday (but not boring!) life of a group of high school girls, and a lot of jokes are made from very ordinary things.

Many characters in each series have a strongly corresponding character in the other series, and all of the characters have really strong characteristics, which make them really unique and memorable.

Both anime rely somewhat on the 'kawaii factor'. Azumanga may be focused more so on the actual events, but you can't deny Lucky Star's animation is just adorable.

All in all, the anime are very similar, but small differences guarantee that both will make you laugh hard, even when you are familiar with the other one.

Both have aimless, plotless fun, a primarily female cast, and a heavy emphasis on cuteness. The primary difference is that Azumanga is a bit more immersive and character-based, while Lucky Star prides itself on anime subculture references (mostly notably references to The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu, both done by the same studio as LS) and sometimes comes off as a sort of "inside joke" between the creators and their fans. Both are great shows.

If anime featuring 'cute school girls doing random things with very little in the way of an actual plot' appeal to you, I would check out Lucky Star. Lucky Star is slightly louder and faster paced though, kind of like a hyperactive version of Azumanga Daioh. But if you found one funny, you should like the other.

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star explore the daily life of a group of girls as they go through their time at high school. There is never a dull moment in either anime and both are a very good watch if you are in need of a good laugh.

If you liked Azumanga Daioh then you'll probably love Lucky Star since it has very similar humour in it (it's more than possible that some of the things in LS were based on AD). On the other hand Lucky Star has many more anime-related jokes and instead of being completely random, other jokes are based on real life situations. There is a fairly low chance that Lucky Star will disappoint you.

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star have one major thing in common: both are the type of anime you either love or hate! If after 3 episodes you still don't like it, you aren't going to get into the anime later on.

That being said, there are way too many resemblances to mention. Both feature character driven jokes, and random humor with no relevance tot he plot, while making a side stop to add some cuteness to the series. You'll find all the key elements in both anime are very similar!

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are about school and have fantastic comedy elements. There's the right dose of cuteness and humour, along with some drama and a decent story line that doesn't have massive plot holes. There are a few hyper characters but the series are generally good for laughs and are an excellent pick-me-up if you are feeling slightly blue. These are guaranteed to please you.

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are about every day school life. Although a lot of series share this 'genre' Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star also share the same kind of humor and laid back atmosphere. The similarity is striking.

If you were a fan of Azumanga Daioh, get ready to experience the new level in cute high school girls living out their random lives. Although with Lucky Star, you're talking a lot more randomness! You'll watch an otaku who can't even study for more than 5 minutes, and the other three hard working (yet laid back) girls. Don't forget the ever-loving Akira-sama. You're sure to love it.

Although I've only seen one episode of LS, the two series seem to be very close in format in that they are more slice-of-life and episodic than story-driven. However, I found LS very annoying.

Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh both follow the daily lives of a group of high school girls and their various antics. Neither of them really have a plot, but that's what makes them both so wonderful.

If you have seen either one and enjoyed the episodic nature and the energetic characters, you will probably like the other.

Lucky Star and Azumanga have a very similar atmosphere; both are slice of life anime about high school girls going about their everyday lives.

If you like the weird Japanese humor and high school setting of one, it's a pretty safe bet you'll enjoy the other as well.

Both of these hysterical series are about a group of girls going through their typical daily lives together and talking about the smallest, most random things. You will get a kick out of Lucky Star if you did with Azumanga Daioh.

These two series are peas in a pod, relying on absolute stupidity to make brilliant comedy. They're also both slice-o'-life comedies centered around a group of schoolgirls.

Both series present modern school life in an unusual way. Every character has its own style and represents a different type of personality. There also is no plot in a normal sense. We observe the everyday life of the characters, and see how they face problems that probably most of us experienced. Both series are a 'slice of life' spelled out, with excellent humour.

Both Lucky star and azumanga are about highschool girls, based off of highly popular 4 panel comics, have great visuals, and are great comedies. the diffences are in that azumanga is mostly filled with situations based off of insane characters in normal situations and has a bit more of a plotline, lucky star is more satyrical and random.

Both shows are about a group of friends having some pretty weird adventures while living out their 'normal' highschool lives. Surely you can't get enough of random comedy with almost no plot. ^^

Both series involve schoolgirls who grind away the days with wacky adventures and mishaps. Although Lucky Star is full of manga and gaming references that some viewers may not grasp, the show is still a blast.

While they both don't usuallyshare the same topics discussed in the series they both share the kind of randomness in where the discussions start.

And while the characters don't have the same personalities there are several that share the same kind of personality feature in them.

Both series' are rather random comedies following a group of female highschool students; with each of the characters from both anime being unique, witty and charming. Both are ideal veiwing if you need cheering up or just love a good laugh.

Complete and utter nonsense in your "average" high school day is all I have to say. Both skip around a bunch of high school girls (and sometimes the occassional guy) and their crazy antics with plenty of cameos and otaku references abound.

Both of these series are about average schoolgirls who have random conversations. Both of them are very similar and funny, and fans of one of the series are sure to like the other.

Both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are all about randomness! They are about a bunch of adorable high-school female students with really odd but interesting personalities! Lucky Star is probably the evolution of Azumanga Daioh as far as both the animation and the humour is converned! If "WTF" humour is your fav, then you'll love those anime!

Both are really amazing random comedies without a full backbone of story. Both follow the life of a group of high school girls as they live their lives. Both are so very alike, if you like one, you will have to like the other.

Both are about school girls who go about their daily lives in a comical way.

both are very funny and and give you and slice of life.

Both series have a rambling feel to them. The series focus on short "mini-episodes" within the main episode. They also share a lighthearted view of life that seems content with just the passing of time.

Lucky Star uses a lot of anime/otaku culture jokes whereas AzuDaioh is much more traditional, but beyond that there isn't much these two don't have in common. They're both about a group of high school girls, and have elements of slice-of-life mixed into the comedy. They also both utilize a skit-like structure, inherited from their 4-koma manga origins. Unless one of the comedy styles just doesn't appeal to you, if you liked one of these series the other is an easy pick.

OMG, so random. That's really all you can say about these shows: they're random, and they're hilarious. Add in the fact that they both revolve around the daily lives of a quirky group of friends, and these shows are a match made in heaven.

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are comedies that rely on slice of life moments without a definite plot. Both follow a group of Highschool girls and the humour is derived from the interaction between the members of the cast, most of which display a zany behaviour. Azumanga Daioh's appeal might be wider while Lucky Star includes some otaku jokes that might be lost to many but both titles are likely to interest the same kind of public.

Both Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh are delightfully random and quirky, and draw their humor from similar situations. With each series focusing on the ordinary exploits of Japanese school girls and the exaggerated personalities of the main characters, the things you enjoy about one are likely to be the same things you'll enjoy about the other.

The relaxed pace of everyday life, more precisely school life, with a healthy dosis of humour. Both execute this in their own manner, with Azumanga slightly faster and with a more surreal cast; Lucky Star more tranquil, zooming in on the weirdness of some details of the lifestyle of its characters.

Shunning the more serieus things in life, or making fun of some of them, both series are ideal for some brainless laidback fun. Did one of them prove to you you're the person to enjoy that, there's no reason to believe the other might not.

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are both slice-of-life anime series that focus more on the school environment. Both of these series have the same style of, at times, insane humour surrounding a group of close friends, that can be watched quite easily when you just want to sit back and have some fun.

Slice of life to the maxsuuu!!! Both are set in a highschool and they follow the daily lifes of the various highschool girls who are the lead roles. I'f you are searching long and far for another amazing all around slice o life comedy! Look no further me good man! Or if you just want something to watch do the same.... Or something..... >.<Good luck with your coming battle then. *facepalms* Hmmmmm there both great and I'm sure you'll enjoy which ever one you havent watched yet.

If you liked Azumanga Daioh, you'll love Lucky Star! It's very similar in that there isn't really any plotline whatsoever, it just captures the humor and hilarity of everyday events in a Japanese high school life.

Lucky Star looks like a GAINAX version of Azumanga Daioh (Note: Lucky Star was done by Kyoto Animation, not GAINAX). However, since Lucky Star focuses a lot in jokes regarding the anime industry, makeing it hard for those who are not otaku to understand most of the jokes.

There are also many japanese cultural references in both anime, but either one can be enjoyed regardless. Azumanga Daioh has probably easier and funier jokes, buy Lucky Star follows right behind it with its special endings.

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are both about the lives of high school girls. The stories contain tons of randomness which is bound to make you laugh.

Every character in both Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are very unique and have their own special personality.

Though Lucky Star is more of a parody, they more or less have the same feel.

Those animes both are really cute. They possess amusing characters and will provide a good and catchy story for School Stories Lovers

With a similar setting (Highschool), characters (Group of female friends), and style (One joke after another irrespective of timeframe), Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star share some striking similarities. This goes all the way to the individual level, as you'll find bits of Tomo's impulsiveness and slacker ways in Konata, Kagami's dieting and harsh statements in Yomi, and Sakaki's soft spoken ways in Minami.

While Lucky Star takes a hard left into Otaku territory as opposed to Azumanga Daioh's straightforward approach, the casual viewer can still find plenty of laughs in both. Bottom line, if you like one, you'll find it hard not to like the other.

In both series, we get to see a couple of high school girls who struggle through life. Both series show's not only the school life but also what the girls do on their free time. There are also at least one girl who's the smart one, and another girl who always copies her friends homework.

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star uses no main plot other than to follow certain slice-of-life events of high school girls.

Azumanga Daioh would follow a cast of characters that are more realistic in the sense of the norm, for as Lucky Star would follow characters with passion or the extreme of certain qualities and hobbies. Though the series may differ from the cast of characters they contain, both are able to accomplish the same style of small events that are sure to put a smile on your face.

If you enjoyed one, it is certain that the other won't disappoint.

Both of these anime's focus on random humor and are about really nothing more than the daily lives of the characters in the show. The character development in each series really grabs you and the writers did a great job of giving each character their own individual personality that will make you love the.

Both series are about some girls and their everyday life, their experiences at school and charakter and their interaction in a funny way.

A group of quriky high school girls doing nothing, talking about nothing but it's somehow funny and entertaining. No magical girls, robots, boys.. just high school girls.. Wait, which anime am I talking about? Well both Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh!

Be it Lucky Star or Azumanga Daioh, both of them show you the life experiences of very individual highschool girls till they graduate. You'll get very familiar with each charakter in both series, so you'll definitley like one if you liked the other.

Both Azumanga and Lucky Star are slice of life comedy series about school girls, with many similar characters. Lucky Star's humour is based more around anime/manga/video game references whereas Azumanga's is much more based on school life. They are both brilliant series, however, and well worth watching.

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are an obvious match.  They share a similar format of disconnected vignettes that follow a core of characters through three years of high school.  They have a nearly identical array of character archetypes, and both combine a lot of wacky humor, periodic slapstick, and occasional senimentallity.  Lucky Star is the more high octane of the two, but it lacks Azumanga Daioh's dream sequence gags.

Like Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star has no consistent plot to speak of, and gets by with random humor, which thankfully, works extremely well.

Irreverant humor, abounding. 'Nuff said... K fine I have to say more.  Both deal with ridiculous exaggerated girls in everyday situations to which the react in an unorthidox fashion for immense comic effect. There.

For those that appreciate a show that you can just sit down and watch without having to worry about a deep plot and just want to enjoy high school girls being silly, Lucky Star is a good way to continue that trend.

I personally found Lucky Star to be more enjoyable than Azumanga Daioh, primarily for it's references and parodies to other anime (ie. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Full Metal Panic) and usually surrounds the general otaku culture and life. In fact, one might suggest that Lucky Star is a parody of Azumanga Daioh for it's main character being short, another being spacy, another more physically active and a bit on the loud side,  the classic moe-glasses-smart girl, and a crazy hyper-active teacher that can get along with students but somehow can't manage to find a date.

In comparison, I found Lucky Star's animation and general quality to be more appealing over Azumanga Daioh. The voice acting is very well done in both Japanese and in English, the soundtrack is well done, and the overall animation is very well done and often varied, espeically when they're visiting a certain store and making misc. anime/game references.

Also, the addition of the ending segment of each show, Lucky Channel, was a stroke of genius. You can often find Akira's assistant lurking around in every single episode. The misc. no-name characters that the main characters interact with are also amusing, just because they're all voiced by the same person (a man to be more specific-- regardless of whether or not the characters are female or not).

In conclusion: If you want something like Azumanga Daioh but couldn't quite get into it, I suggest taking a look at Lucky Star.

Ah... Youth... Both these anime's represent the wonderful time of high school. Both seemingly having no plot whatsoever, Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star seem to be two puzzle pieces, fitting together. I can almost guarantee that you'll love either of them.

Both Azumanga Daioh and Strawberry Marshmallow pertain to a group of school girls who go to school together, share silly idea plots and simply grow up side by side. If you enjoy seeing small kids and their silly moments then you'll love these shows as well.

Both series feature a small group of school girls, and both groups of girls are involved in crazy little plots and games. You get to know Azumanga's characters a little more than Strawberry Marshmallow's, and Strawberry Marshmallow is a little bit more "airy". If you like one of these series because of the light and sometimes crazy humour, it might be a good idea to watch the other.

Cute girls doing cute things in cute ways; each of these anime is a popular series spawned from manga serialized in Dengeki Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh and Strawberry Marshmallow are random, funny, and have no real plot. Each is about a group of girls who go to school together. I think if you liked one, you'd like the other.

Lot of same humour based on adorable girls and their cute antics. Very fun to watch. The charactors are a nice mix of personalities and thier interactions with one another are at times hilarious, insightful & endearing.

Both are slice of life comedies a rangeof strange characters,the main difference is the age and the amount of school school used. Azumanga is pretty much stricly school based, while strawberry marshmellow is more spare time based

In a lot of ways, Ichigo Mashimaro really feels like an elementary school rendition of Azumanga Daioh. Both series utilize a similar random-ish style with a quirky cast of characters, and a slow slice-of-life sort of pace. Although there's naturally more of a cute factor in Ichigo, fans of one of these relaxing yet funny watches can certainly expect a similar style from the other.

Both series involve the antics of children and their interactions with the world around them. Just as the children at times appear to be more grownup than their instructors in Azumanga Daioh, at times the children in Ichigo Mashimaro are also more adult than their older sister. All in all, if you enjoyed the non-linear, cutesy and slower paced action of Azumanga Daioh, you should fall in love with Ichigo Mashimaro.

The same way as Azumanga Daioh, Ichigo Mashimaro relies on slow-paced comedy that arises from nothing special, turning common every-day events into sheer hilariousness. On top of it all, to make this recommendation completely obvious, they both execute this with a group of school girls while adding a good dose of moe into the mix. Especially if you enjoyed the lazier and cute parts of Azumanga, this is definitely something for you!

Young girls, bucketfulls of laughs and the occasional questionable content make these two shows the ideal companions.

Azumanga is probably easier to get along with, because there are many layers to the humour. Ichigo Mashimaro can have some very dark comedy at times, but balances this with some of the cutest and and adorable characters.

Neither show takes itself too seriously and can be picked up at any time, as the storylines aren't exactly complex.

Azumanga and Ichigo are both exemplary slice-of-life style comedies. Both of these series utilize a good mix of clever humor and highly random humor, which I find to be the most entertaining comedic elements in anime. Also, for you Tomo-chan fans (myself included), you will LOVE Miu-chan. And for you Miu-chan lovers you will certainly love Tomo-chan. I know that if you liked one of these series you will like the other.

Azumanga Daioh and Strawberry Marshmallow are both slow, sweet, simplistic slice-of-life shows about friends, each with a good dose of random humor.  If you liked the refreshingly cute (but not annoyingly cute) characters, friendships, and unusual comedy styling of one these shows, you'll almost certainly enjoy the other.  

Azumanga Daioh and Strawberry Marshmallow are both great shows in the "group of girls having fun" genre. They're full of -non-slapstick, yet a bit spastic at time- comedy and are, while having little substance, a joy to watch. Although Azumanga is definitely a bit more spastic than Strawberry Marshmallow, they have the same concept and atmosphere to it. If you liked one of these, you should definitely check out the other.

Cromartie High School shares Azumangah Daioh's high school setting, is filled with random comedy, and is fueled by interesting and quirky characters. If you don't mind an acute lack of girls, then be sure to watch Cromartie's delinquent students take everything to the extremes of logic, common sense, and laughter.

If that doesn't sell it, then know that the student body includes a silky voiced robot, a gorilla, and a guy called Freddie. Yes, Freddie. Go and see it to believe me! (I'm serious about Freddie.)

The casts of Cromartie and Azumanga couldn't seem more different, but both anime have a similar setting (a high school where things are less-than-normal) and are laugh out loud funny. In particular, if you love the surreal moments in Azu (like the dream sequences), you'll find Cromartie's more bizarre elements a hoot, and vice-versa.

Azumanga Daioh isn't quite as random as Cromartie, but few are. In the end, they appeal to the same audience as they both provide a funny random anime. Azumanga has a bit more fanservice though.

By liking Azumanga Daioh you have proven you're into random and crazy anime. Ever wonder what this show would be like if it was filled with random crazy guys? Cromartie is the closest you'll get to that.

Well, both anime have a lot of random humour. They are both extremely hilarious and fun to watch. AD is about girls only and CHS is about boys only that’s not much of similiarity but humour works in both shows. I’m convinced that if you liked AD you will like CHS.

Both anime are High School taken to the ridiculous. All stereotypes are there. One is from a Female Pov and other from a male.

Whereas Azumanga Daioh deals with random situations and extreme personalities within the borderlines of reality, Cromartie high school takes a step further, introducing characters and events you would’ve never expected to encounter in the life of a high school student. Therefore, if you enjoyed the random and spastic aspects of Azumanga, prepare to take a trip to something you’ve never seen before in the company of Cromartie high school!

While this may seem like a completely bizarre recommendation to make at first glance, these two series share a fundemental similarity - the humour. While one is about a group of delinquent boys and the other about cute schoolgirls, both series share the same sort of random comedy that is kind of addictive. If you liked the 'What the Hell' random style of one series, then try the other.

Completely random and over-the-top craziness? Check! Group of High School students? Check! Only purpose of the show is to be getting laughs? CHECK! Really, the only difference between Cromatie and Azumanga, is that Cromatie takes place in a school for delinquents, and Azumanga apparently in a school for "cutesies".
