Cromartie High School
Alt titles: Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
Synopsis:
At Cromartie High, it’s tough being a delinquent -- a fact that do-gooder Takashi Kamiyama intimately understands. When he’s not engaging in contests of strength and rival gang wars, Kamiyama can also be found submitting punny jokes and planning his own rise to fame within the delinquents’ ranks, and that’s just the beginning! With friends like robotic Mechazawa, a giant gorilla, a hairy man from the 80s named Freddie and a clan of delinquents with mohawks that flow in the wind, how can anyone not enjoy high school?

Azumanga Daioh
- TV (26 eps)
- 2002
Ten-year-old genius Chiyo, animal-loving Sakaki, loudmouth Tomo, athletic Kagura, weight-conscious Yomi and dim-witted Osaka are six friends who share laughs, good times, and a high school homeroom. With scary (and sometimes perverted) teachers, school festivals, penguin suits and general hilarity abounding, you can be sure that there's never a dull day in the life of one of these students!

add recSo you enjoyed the testosterone-fueled angry musings of the tough delinquents of Cro-High? Maybe you waited for an action-packed plot, but enjoyed the silly distractions? Maybe Cro-High has primed you for more random comedy set in high schools? If that's the case then it would be my pleasure to recommend Azumanga Daioh. It's short, sweet, has random comedy, and is carried by the quirks and charms of its characters. But be warned! Smiles, girls, and a creepy cat-man abound! After a heavy dose of serious Cro-High, you may get hyperglycemic jumping straight into Azumangah Daioh.
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.
It's funny to watch characters being strange, and to watch the random moments the characters experience. Want more of those things after seeing Cromartie? Check out Azumanga Daioh.
Plotless, wacky school antics your thing? Whether it's adventures of boys or girls, one of these two will fit your bill. Actually, it's kind of fun to compare the adventures of an all-boys cast to the adventures of an all-girls cast. So if you watch one, watch the other and let the fun ensue.
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.
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".
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
- TV (15 eps)
- 2003
Sagara Sousuke is far from the average high school student -- not only is he highly trained in military tactics, he puts his knowledge to use in every single applicable situation (and even those nonapplicable ones.) So, when confronted with high school, he tends to turn average high school experiences into off-the-wall adventures. Love letters become terrorist threats and field trips become commando operations; his survival depends on the watchful eye of his best friend and classmate, Chidori. Together, they may just make it out of high school alive...

add recCromartie High School is about a high school filled with badasses who do crazy things; FMP Fumoffu is about a high school with one badass who does very crazy things. Both will make you laugh, often!
Fumoffu and Cromartie High are both anime that are completely random. Fumoffu is random because Sagara is so clueless about things, while Cromartie might be just plain weird to some. On top of that even the setting (high school) is the same!
Just plenty of fun and nonsense for a quick watch you won't regret unless you were also looking for a more thorough and complex show.
Not much mental work, but lots and lots of laugh assured!
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!

add recVery weird things happen in Cromartie, often they make no sense, but you laugh! Similar can be said for Excel Saga. Both shows share a very wacky sense of humor where things don't always have to follow any rules of logic.
Excel Saga and Cromartie contain a certain penchant for quite bizarre humor. They really shouldn't be funny but they will have you giggling like an idiot on laughing gas.
Can a completely absurd world taken from a well-known manga be extremely fun for 26 episodes, not a single let down?
Well both this amazing show scream out "YES!". Maybe they are not the first choice if your are looking for something to squeeze your grey matter, but rest assured they'll make you laugh until you are breathless... And even beyond that point.
Haré+Guu
Alt titles: Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu
- TV (26 eps)
- 2001
Hale and his mother live peacefully in the jungle, until one day Hale is overtaken by a omnipotent shadow. Later, he awakens to find Guu, a strange girl with even stranger abilities. Notably, the ability to switch from a cute, lovable Guu, to a menacing delinquent who eats everything. Now Hale must live with Guu, and lead a normal life, despite her oddities.

add recIf you like wacky humor where very weird things happen and rarely does much make sense, then chances are you'll like both Cromartie High School, and Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu. Both series take place in a wacky world where if you try to think too much about things (like why that guy's hair keeps moving when there's no wind, why there's a gorilla attending your school, or how Guu does any of the crazy things she does) your head might explode!
If you like completely wacky and random things, this is another title you need to check out! Guu and Cromartie High School neglect a story and just put in whatever they feel like, make it work, and create a funny masterpiece.
Both Cromartie and Hare+Guu are humor-based. Both have a common style of random abrupt humor. Although in Hare+Guu the story is more refined, they both resort to conditional humor and abrupt scene changes, with the main characters doing stupidly odd things.
Di Gi Charat
- TV (16 eps x 5 min)
- 1999
One day, Dejiko, Puchiko and the strange ball-shaped Gema-Gema crash land their UFO in the middle of Akihabara. Without a single yen to their name they have nowhere to go, but following an unexpected and generous offer from the manager of a nearby store, the trio begin working at the shop in exchange for renting the room upstairs. Alongside Dejiko’s self-confessed rival Rabi-en-Rose, as well as a mysterious bear that has mastered the ability to appear happy, sad, depressed and angry all at once, the insanity is only just beginning! From shooting window shoppers with Dejiko’s Laser Eye Beam and the appearance of a bizarre farting impostor, to a sudden attack on the city by Godzilla, life at Gamers is certainly livening up.

add recDi Gi Charat has a certain cuteness factor you won't find in Cromartie, but both use random humor that doesn't make any sense to appeal to their audiences.
Di gi charat and cromartie high school are very similar, the only difference being that they have opposing styles
They're both crazy, episodic, random, parody(Does this conjugate that way?) and leave you in a state of mental shock.
Also Dejiko and puchiko appear a few times in cro high
