VRDave VRDave says...

The perverse humor and visuals in Golden Boy are quite similar to that of Ebichu, yet not as hard core. These two anime are also outstandingly hilarious. If you liked one, you should also like the other.

kamirura kamirura says...

This is another perverted comedy. Just like ebichu it deals alot with sex and perverted thoughts. And alot of noseblood :P This also makes fun of anime and is somewhat a parody just like Ebichu. But Golden boy is not as sex fixed as Ebichu so if you like a lighter version you will like Golden Boy

lucky lucky says...

Same sexually charged and controversial themes and very similar humour - these are the main reasons why these two shows are alike.

tetra tetra says...

Ebichu and Golden Boy are both rather pointless anime where any hint of plot is an excuse to give some fanservice. If pantyshots are what you like, pantyshots are what you will get.

kilrothi kilrothi says...

Both Golden Boy and Ebichu deal with perversion and "adult situations" in ways that show us sometimes the people involved aren't so "adult" ;) Both are humorous, witty, and hilarious.

KiraRin KiraRin says...

Perversion, fan service and side splitting laughs. You will get all of these in abundance from both shows.

Neither are suitable for younger viewers, but are definitely something that should not be missed by someone with a perverted mind.

Both feature the successes and failures (mostly the failures) of a sexual relationship and how outside factors affect this.

skankfish skankfish says...

Both hilariously funny and better suited to older audiences. Golden Boy has more of a plot, but Ebichu is perfect lightweight laughter material.

NimirRa NimirRa says...

Dirty, hilarious, and oh-so-very wrong... these two are a clear and easy recommendation for each other. If you liked trying to decide whether to laugh or cringe during one of these shows then you will enjoy the same with the other series.

Detroit Metal City

Detroit Metal City

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!

The 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.

cassiesheepgirl cassiesheepgirl says...

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.

kenikki kenikki says...

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.

panaru panaru says...

Ebichu and DMC share that same SILLY ROTFLMAO humor.  DMC is more like Dethklok in black metal japan where as ebichu is about the pet of a local office lady (heh).

Shiawase-sou no Okojo-san

Shiawase-sou no Okojo-san

After Okojo-san (a feisty ferret) deftly escapes from the local pet store, Siawase Apartment will never be the same! Armed with long claws and a razor-sharp wit, Okojo-san finds adventure with a mouse sidekick. This show has attitude!

sothis sothis says...

Ebichu is definitely the porn version of Okojo-san... but both deal with a talking animal(s) that live with someone in an apartment. Okojo-san is delightfully witty humor and has a bit more attitude, and a bit less hentai than Ebichu. Check it out.

VRDave VRDave says...

Both of these animes are very silly and have an animal that is the main character where all sorts of adventures and mishaps occur, however Ebichu is far more sexual based compared to Okojo-san.

kilrothi kilrothi says...

Ebichu and Okojo share not only crazy, misunderstood animals as the main characters, but also slightly off humans surrounding them. While Okojo is obviously much more kid safe (there's a reason for that black hamster in Ebichu -- it's a censor hamster!) both are enjoyable and hilarious.

Haré+Guu

Haré+Guu

Haré and his mother live peacefully in the jungle, until one day the boy 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 Haré must live with Guu, and lead a normal life, despite her oddities.

Locate Locate says...

This piece features some of the attributes you may have liked in Ebichu (exluding the ecchiness) - especially when it comes to surreality.

Bonnie Bonnie says...

If you are looking into comedy anime with no other purpose besides making you laugh, then both Ebichu and Guu might be what you're looking for.

Guu is obviously a bigger production then Ebichu, much longer and with better animation. Even so, they both manage to fill their nonsense laughing purpose wonderfully and are very well made.

Besides sharing huge amounts of nonsense humor, they also share super cute character designs.

I can't stress enough: if you're into this kind of comedy and enjoyed one of these, then give a shot at the other. You're probably going to enjoy it.

KiraRin KiraRin says...

On one hand we have a perverted house cleaning hamster, on the other, a strange girl who can eat anything that comes into her path.... Both very strange, both make very little sense, but both will have you splitting your sides with laughter.

I have Ebichu and Guu on my top 10 list for a reason. Not for spectacular animation, not for a gripping storyline, but because they have exactly my kind of off-beat humour. If you are looking for a more lighthearted show, and enjoyed one of these, I'm pretty sure you'll like the other.

Ping Pong Club

Ping Pong Club

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?

Shadizzy Shadizzy says...

This anime has many similarities to Ebichu , with outrageous humor, and a no holds barred view on sexually with tons of ecchi. If you like senseless laugh out loud humor with minimal guilt i recommend you watch this anime also. mwohohohohohohohohohoho

Laone Laone says...

Both Ebichu and Ping Pong Club take a step outside of the norm and give a slapstick sketch comedy type approach to alternative humor. Ebichu focuses more on sexual and violent humor whereas Ping Pong Club toys with sex, bathroom and fetish humor, both done in a lighthearted way. The episodes are relatively short for both shows. Both allow for a little to moderate character development though the nature of the shows doesn't necessarily require it. Both offer very visual and wordplay type humor. There is a feeling of innocence to both of them, though they clearly cross the line of decency...in an entertaining way. :)

Goatonfire Goatonfire says...

These are two of my very favorite comedy anime, because they are two of the downright funniest. Both shows are highly demented, perverse, and perverted. You could say that these shows fall somewhere in between ecchi and hentai, super ecchi maybe. Both of these shows also sacrifice plot development for the purpose of cramming in as many crude laughs as possible. If you're just looking for a laugh, and you're not prudish about sexual humor, toilet humor, or the occasional random crudely drawn nudity then this show is for you.

These shows, Ebichu in particular, are also very... um, educational, to a student of Japanese. Though both shows have their fair share of puns. You can learn a few words that you won't find in your average English to Japanese dictionary if you know what I mank... oops, what I mean. ;)

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

When there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? No, not the Ghostbusters. Call on Panty & Stocking, the two fallen angels Heaven-sent to clear the surface world of Ghosts – creatures spawned from mortals who met gruesome deaths. At least, that's what they'd like you to think. In reality, they're gun-toting, sword-wielding femmes fatales who lay waste not only to the evil of Daten City, but to all its bachelors and candy treats too. With a healthy dollop of collateral damage and full-frontal nudity, they always manage to save the day. If they can be bothered, that is...

Kyuuchan Kyuuchan says...

Both series are very funny, have explicit content and both are from the same Studio.

And both series have a drawing that may seem childish, but appearances are deceptive.

Darkrystal Darkrystal says...

These series both share a very depraved and perverted sense of humour, so if sex jokes and toilet humour are your style then you'll find something to love, and laugh at until your face hurts, in either show! The shows also have a more western-influenced art style that makes them stand out visually from a lot of other anime.

Nicknames Nicknames says...

Both share a very crude humor (though Ebichu is based solely in sex jokes while Panty and Stocking also adds toilet humor into the mix) and have an artstyle that makes it look innocent at first glance.

If you liked one you'd enjoy the other too.

FLCL

FLCL

Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

kaz kaz says...

The only serious recommendation I can make for those who enjoyed Ebichu is FLCL. Keep in mind, though, that while both are parodies, the two series parody a very different range of subjects. If Ebichu is "Sex and the City and the Hamster," then FLCL is "Seinfeld," but with Kramer as a mecha and a vespa as Newman.

kanamekakashi kanamekakashi says...

Same kind of drawing, voice acting, japanese pun, non sense, violence. Both are short series. Ebichu is more realistic and the content is more explicit (sex scenes/ecchi stuff). FLCL has more action and futuristic aspects. The art is better and the soundtrack is really cool. 

Green Green

Green Green

Deep in the mountains, isolated from civilization, there is a boys-only school that will finally be receiving its first class of girls in an attempt to transform the school into a co-ed one. Most of the boys have never been in contact with girls of their own age, leading to an explosion of hormonal craziness. From the sickeningly perverted fetishist guys, to a rather odd girl that seems to be chasing the most normal guy in the school for reasons known only to her, there's twisted humor to be had.

lucky lucky says...

While this show is even more perverted then ebichu (hard to believe that it's possible, isn't it?), the humour is quite similar. Both shows rely heavily on silly situations and funny everyday life stuff with lots of ecchiness and toilet humor thrown in.

sydneylove sydneylove says...

Both animes have very ecchi comedy and random, crazy antics from the characters. Although, Green Green has an actual plot, if you've enjoyed the type of comedy in one series, you'll enjoy the other.

Ippatsu Kikimusume

Ippatsu Kikimusume

Kunyan is a beautiful young woman, living alone in her one-bedroom apartment. However, she always seems to find her way into the most unpredictable and narrowly escapable situations that require quick, yet crude thinking and unimaginable body strength and flexibility. Although taking a bath or cooking crab in a steaming pot might seem like a safe and enjoyable activity, Kunyan seems to find a way into some sort of predicament, losing most of her clothes in the process.

VRDave VRDave says...

Now here are two anime shows that are easily on the same level. In one corner we have Ebichu with its sexual exploits of a 'typical' young woman, where in the other corner we have Ippatsu Kikimasume with Kunyan who always seems to get herself into some sort of trouble and out a lot of clothes. They are also both really funny and fairly spastic.

Laone Laone says...

Both Ebichu and Ippatsu are done in "sketch slapstick comedy" fashion, not requiring much from the viewer except indulgance. Both are quick paced and require no committment. Ebichu offers character development, but the situational nature of the both shows leaves character development up the viewer to do in their own mind and time. Both explore and poke fun at varying realms of human sexuality (casual/vanilla/fetish/taboo/alternative) and violent injury (intentional and not-intentional). Both shows left me wondering what would happen next...and left me either rolling my eyes (in a good way) or with a smile. Hopefully most of this stuff only happens in anime. :)

Step Up Love Story

Step Up Love Story

Makoto and Yura Onoda are a newly married couple. Luckily for them, even though their marriage was arranged, they are deeply in love. However, even though they are both 25, neither of them have any ‘intimate’ experience, and consequently, they are equally as unsure and clumsy. With a little advice from Yura's friends and sister, this newly-wed couple will eventually get it right and explore the hardships of marriage, and the wonderful world of sex, even in daring places and awkward situations.

yuujin yuujin says...

Both Ebichu and Futari Ecchi are very ecchi and are filled with problems and happy moments. The main difference could be the animation style and the age of the main couple. In "Ebichu" the couple is older and not in as happy of a relationship as in "Futari Ecchi", but in Ebichu there is much more humor. Anyways if you like ecchi, humor and daily life problems, you'll like both anime.

Starlite Starlite says...

These pieces feature tons of hardcore ecchi and humor. Both are more adult than usual ecchi series, so you probably wouldn't want to have somebody around while watching) Ebichu is more 'naughty' and humorous, while Futari Ecchi is more ecchi and realistic.
