Synopsis:

Haruto Hojo is the son of a priest, which might sound normal. However, his school is the ground zero gathering point for everything ghost, spirit, and likewise, thanks to the obsessed (and also a ghost) headmaster of the school! In order to make sure everything runs normally, Hojo (who just wants to live a normal life), along with Mutsuki (prodigal Japanese priestess), and Kazumi (a frequently possessed monk), complete tasks that only seem to make the school more strange and hectic!

Abenobashi and Haunted Junction both have the best of one thing: random, hilarious comedy. If you are looking for something to make your sides split from laughing (or from saying "wtf?!" repeatedly), this is the series for you. If you liked one, you'd most certainly like the other.

Now Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai is a great random series, and if you enjoy the humor that doesn't always seem to fit or make much sense, you will Love Haunted Junction. And of course if you like Haunted Junction, I can garauntee you will like Abenobashi even more!!

Ushio and Tora

Ushio and Tora main image

In the distant past, a ferocious monster plagued the land. This creature of fury was finally subdued when a traveler challenged it to a battleand drove a spear into its body, pinning it to a massive rock. A temple was built above it, and thus, the house of Aotsuki was founded. Fast forward to the present, when young Ushio Aotsuki unwittingly releases the beast and names him Tora, much to the monster's dismay. Now, with plenty of stray demons wandering the city, Ushio must defeat the evil with the ancient spear, before being eaten by Tora as a snack!

While Ushio & Tora and Haunted Junction might not have a plot in common, they both have a remarkably similar feeling to them. Slapstick, random comedy combined with a supernatural type story and hilarious characters, make either of these a great watch. Why would you like one if you liked the other? Too many things to mention. Just check it out!

Both of these shows are full of comedy and monsters. They are funny and exciting and hard to dislike. Haunted Junction is much more comedic while Ushio and Tora is much more action oriented, but both have lots of monsters.

The strange slapstick humor in both Haunted Junction and Yougen Kaisha is fairly similar. There are a lot of random ghosts and such and the theme is fairly similar. Neither series is very serious, but both are entertaining and if you liked one, you'd definately like the other.

Both deal with protagonists who just want a "normal" life, but seem unable to achieve that!  What especially struck me was the similar art style and wacky shenanigans of the characters.  If you liked one, the other is worth checking out!

While Haunted Junction and Suddenly Princess have a completely different plot to relate to, both are very funny looks at a random series, with random occurances, plenty of puns, and is actually FUNNY. You'll love the slapstick comedy and characters in both of these, and I know you'd enjoy one if you liked the other.
