Synopsis:

After his apartment burning to the ground and almost being killed by a falling metal object, Ohmura Takeshi is ready for the afterlife. Luckily, a beautiful angel appears to heal his wounds and inform him that if he stays with her, no harm will come to him. The catch? His long-lost deadbeat dad has passed along a curse: he will experience nothing but sadness in his life. Now, after changing to a human to maintain close contact, Elle will stop at nothing to make sure that a bit of happiness comes into Takeshi's life, but not before first learning how to be a human!

Granted, Happy World is much more ecchi, while Pita Ten is syrupy sweet and cute.. but both involve angels helping out mere humans, with comedy and tragedy at the same time. Definitely you'd like one if you like the other.
Harbin

Angels dropping out of the sky, angels helping to make people happy, angels who go to the same school with the main male character. Sound familiar? If you like Happy World, you'll like Pita Ten because of the supernatural element in both series, which is the main drive for both stories. People who like lighthearted series will enjoy both of them.

MalteseFalcon

The stories of Pita Ten and Happy World center around an orphaned kid who has an angel decide to visit him and try to improve his life. Both have similar tones and atmospheres, so if you enjoyed one, you should be sure to enjoy the other.

In both series some godess/angel (read: devine being) appears out of nothing and tries to make the male figure happy in some way. Both these devine being do not know how the human world flows and wat to get used to the way humans live. Both series are perfectly similar to eachother, so if you like one, you will quite probably like the other as well.

These two anime are very similar in character and story, almost as if they are twice the same anime but made by different people. The situations within are extremely similar leading to a comparable romance, situations, and character. It's impossible to like one and not the other. The difference is that where Happy World stops is where Ah My Goddess continues. Watch both and you'll feel like watching the same show twice.

Happy World and Ah! My Goddess have more in common than just angels. Both have a very romantic comedy type feel to them, involving a young man who has a woman forced upon him. Of course, love inevitably follows, and the rest is history! I do think you'd enjoy one if you enjoyed the other.

Rizelmine

Rizelmine main image

In the present, the Japanese government has been conducting experiments to genetically engineer a human: a girl named Rizel. The experiment was a success -- sort of. While healthy and cheerful, 12-year-old Rizel also ended up possessing the uncanny need for “love” to further her development, as well as tears which were in fact volitile explosives! When sadness can end up destroying a city block, what's a girl to do except... get married?! For Iwari Tomori, the young man chosen as the most appropriate partner for Rizel, life is about to change, for better or for worse!

These two series are almost 100% identical, besides the fact that in Rizelmine is somewhat more violent, as the boy literally kicks Rizel around.
Himitsu

The main protagonist for Rizelmine is very similar to Happy World!, especially on their reaction + behaviour towards their new clingy companion. The plots are similar, and they even have similar elements (such as the slight fanservice). Happy World had great character design and lots of use of colour. Rizelmine was much more fulfilling to watch.

To Heart

To Heart main image

Hiroyuki Fujita's only distinguishing trait appears to be his perpetual laziness... but he has something about him that lets him make friends with girls easily, and has a kind side that his childhood friend Akari loves. Follow their 'everyday adventures' in high school with this light schoolkid comedy.

Both series are really sweet series in which the high school life are a important part of the series. Though while in Happy World! an angel is the main female character, in To Heart it are solely humans (apart from one or two androids). If you like a tad more romance than Happy World! or if you don't like the magic and all other unreal aspects of Happy World! I suggest to check out To Heart. If you liked To Heart and you like devine beings, magic and other unreal things, though want to have some sort of realistic aspect, check out Happy World!

They're the reincarnated angels of his deceased pets, and they're here to turn his luck around given how well he treated them in their past lives. While the idea sounds like a godsend, things don't go quite according to plan; the angels tend to cause more harm than good, and twelve altogether end up joining Goro's cramped household! In addition to learning how to co-exist with his newly acquired roommates, Goro must also defend them and himself against four sacred beasts who are after him for mysterious reasons. One thing's for certain: Goro's life will never be the same!

Ran

In both Angel Tales and Happy World, an unlucky boy meets angels that are suppose to compensate for his bad luck, and make his life better; however that encounter will be more trouble than help at first, and in both series, it results in funny situations.
