Detroit Metal City
Synopsis:
Negishi Souichi always dreamed of joining a trendy pop band, so that he could perform music like that of his idol, Kahimi Karie. In order to realize his dream, he decided to leave the country side and his loving parents to study in Tokyo. And after graduating, he does manage to join a band... but not the kind he was expecting! As lead singer of the death metal band Detroit Metal City, under the stage name Krauser II, he is made to perform loud songs filled with obscene lyrics - a far cry from the songs he used to write in school. But despite the fact that Negishi hates DMC's music, the Krauser side of him will do anything to put on a good show for his fans... even if it means making Negishi's life a misery!

add recThe low-brow humor in both anime is very similar. Both are rife with poop jokes, sex jokes, and cartoon violence. Oddly sincere romance pops up in both series as well.
What do a Hamster and a Death Metal Band have in common? It may sound like the beginning of a joke but Ebichu and Detroit Metal City, do have something in common - humour. Both of these series contain a fair amount of crude, lewd humour, and though Ebichu may be more centralised around this sort of comedy, Detroit Metal City doesn't skimp on it. Both series have that sort of, naughty giggle factor about them, where you find yourself laughing at something that you'd never admit to enjoying in polite company. They are also fairly no-holes-barred, and often you'll be watching and thinking 'what the... did they really just do that?!' I would say that if you enjoyed the naughty laugh factor of one, you should try the other.
While the story and the genres of these shows are very different (except comedy of course) they sharea similar kind of stupid humor and both have short and concise episodes without being too serious.
Cromartie High School
Alt titles: Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
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?

add recBoth shows involve a nice guy trying to fit in , and share the same random and strange humor we all love.
I usually don't like shows that are purely comedies, but I LOVE Detroit Metal City and Cromartie High School. The art styles, while they don't really look similar, feel similar, and the sense of humor is absurd and fairly dry. Both also are the prefect lenght. The episodes are short enough so that they never drag, and the series ends before the concept becomes tired.
If you like the strange and wacky humour in one you'll definitely love the strange and wacky humour in the other. Both Cromartie High School and Detroit Metal City are reltatively plotless and instead rely on high GPM (gags per minute) to please their audiences.

add recIf you like music. I bet you will like also this anime. Both animes are concentrated on music and great humor. You cannot be not laughing when watching these! I bet you will like it even if you're not so big fan of rock or metal.
Highly recommended to watch if you actually like Heavy Metal like in DMC. This was some seriously funny anime, It had me in complete stitches. The story was very interesting when your not laughing your ... off. The character design/Art work was pretty decent, Made it feel old but a new anime.
I gave it a 4/5 truly great.
Ping Pong Club
- TV (26 eps)
- 1995
At Ina Middle School, the boys’ Ping Pong Club is seen as more of a joking matter than something worth the school's budget. It doesn't help that they are constantly being outdone by the girls' team and their fiery-tempered coach, as well the fact that most of the boys on the team care more about their ding dongs than their ping pongs! In a desperate attempt to motivate the team, the boys' coach introduces a hot-bodied female manager, who might just bring a sexual tension to the team that could work to their advantage. But can these hopeless boys improve their game enough to emerge victorious at the upcoming tournament and win the prize she's willing to give?

add recWhen first watching DMC, I really struggled to think of many shows that had the same perverted and totally unecessary kind of humour. Luckily, I stumbled across Ping Pong Club, and found myself laughing at the same kind of naughty jokes and unbelievable scenes.
Neither show has particularly impressive visuals (in fact, Ping Pong Club is downright ugly), but the "in your face" and over the top comedy more than makes up for it. If you can tolerate (or even like) one show, I'm sure you'll enjoy the other.
I'd have to agree with a former recomendation. Both are filled with the same irrelivant story line vs crude, lively humor.
Charcaters are drawn as ugly as possible.

add recThe random shit-yourself-laughing type of comedy is very similar in these two animes. If you liked DMC, you'll love Sexy Commando Gaiden and vice versa. They've practically got the same type of comedic elements, with the exception that DMC is about Death Metal and SCG is about martial arts.
