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.
Both are relatively short, but hilariously funny, anime about the manga/anime business, with both having a female character in the lead. Plus they both give insight into our (i.e., the viewer's) interests.
Both anime have similar visuals and comedy styles. If you liked one, you'd surely like the other.

add recDoujin Work is comedy-based while Genshiken is slice of life-based. They both center around a group of otaku and have many shared themes and situations.
If you like anime centred around otaku culture then both of these series are for you. While Doujin Work focuses more on creating doujinshi and Genshiken on those who read it, both are fairly comedic and worth a look.
These are both great otaku based comedy anime. Both involve doujinshi fandom, and have a similar feel to them.

add recDoujin Work and Genshiken 2 both focus on the process of making Doujin, the reasons behind it, and the selling aspects. They also show the "hardships" that doujinshi go through to finish their art, although the anime tend to show more funny situations than hardships.
Doujin is nowhere near as good as Genshiken. But both follows the struggles of making and selling doujinshi at ComiFes.

add recAlthough Doujin Work is centered more on the training to become a doujin artist and bases its humor on embarrassing situations, whereas Comic Party Revolution focuses on the characters' relations and life goals, both Doujin Work and Comic Party Revolution have a similar plot and deal with the specificities of the doujin world.
