Doujin Work - Recommendations

Himitsu says...

Doujin 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.

hurin says...

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.

JiroKurumi says...

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.

hurin says...

Doujin 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.

cassiesheepgirl says...

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.

JiroKurumi says...

These are both great otaku based comedy anime. Both involve doujinshi fandom, and have a similar feel to them.

oninosweeney says...

While both are about the production of manga, one being professional and one being fan made, both are serious takes at following your dreams (sometimes ill concieved, scatterbrained dreams); dreams about fame, love and making money through the love of visual arts.

Higly recommended for everyone who has a dream.

chii says...

Both shows are about people who are striving to make it big in the manga world. Bakuman does it for the love of manga where doujin work wishes to make lots of money from it. Either way their journey is going to be hard without help from friends who are already in the world of making manga themselves. Both are pretty funny and have great characters. If you ever had the drive to succeed in something check either of these titles out. They are sure to please.

eaper says...

These series each start out with characters getting roped into drawing/writing mangas and then goes from there. With a mix of humor and hard work in each of them, the main character(s) go from just messing around with making manga to becoming very serious about it. Although Bakuman is focused more on the professional aspect of making manga and Doujin work is mostly just at the doujin level, if you like watching about the process of making manga, these fit well together.

Ran says...

Doujin 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.

hurin says...

Doujin is nowhere near as good as Genshiken. But both follows the struggles of making and selling doujinshi at ComiFes.

Ran says...

Although 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. If you liked one, you might like the other too.

cassiesheepgirl says...

Both of these series focus on a group of people trying to crack into the world of doujinshi and the struggles that they face. If you are interested in the culture of comic festivals and doujinshi circles, and enjoyed one of these series then it is worth checking out the other.

NimirRa says...

Two funny slice of life shows about the life of an otaku. Doujin Work and Otaryman share the same audience, humor, and themes. If you enjoyed one of these otaku shows you will likely find the other just as appealing.

NimirRa says...

This would not be an obvious recommendation as these two shows have very different plots. What they have in common though is a heroine that passionately pursues her dream with all she has. Comedy is present in both these shows with it being more of a main focus in Doujin Work, but I feel fans of one of these shows would enjoy the other.

ThePatches says...

These shows are structurally similar, have similar content, and similar abience. Fans of Denki-gai's cast of hilarious archetypes will find Doujin Work's equally eccentric cast both familiar and funny. In addition the 4-koma pacing of Doujin Work lines up well with the quick punchlines of Denki-Gai no Honya-san. In short if you can't get enough manga-related interpersonal humor give Doujin Work a shot.
