In a time filled with wars, environmental concerns and issues, there lives a gaggle of beautiful boys that are the personification of the world's countries. Japan, England, France, Finland, Germany and the rest of the boys attend the World Conference and tackle issues like global warming with a heavy dose of fun. Through multiple world wars the gang will traverse deserts, build mecha U-boats and solve the world's problems together!
When the gothic-lolita Marika opened her eyes on the train one day, she found herself in a bizarre and whimsical town in an unknown world. Quickly meeting the famous scientist Galileo Galilei, Marika is introduced to science in a whole new way. The town, Galihabara, is home to a number of notable inventors and tinkerers including Newton, Edison, Marie Curie and even Leonardo da Vinci! However, these ordinary figures of history are anything but - from MCs to ramen shop owners, each scientist is definitely unique in their own way. Alongside her magical stuffed animal Pet, Marika and Galileo explore Galihabara, learning important lessons along the way!
While Hetalia is a bit too foo foo for me and Marie and Gali exudes style similar to Jing, I believe this is a good recommendation. Both have heavy historical elements in a very bizarre setting, with plenty of lighthearted comedy and strangeness.
Both of these shows manage to be clever and stupid with their humour. Hetalia is a comedy about history, while Marie & Gali is about physics, but both of them present a novel and witty take on what you've read in your school textbooks. If you liked one, there's a fair old chance you might just enjoy the other.
Both shows are parodies of history, have short episodes, and will make you laugh at least once. Check out one if you liked the other.
Even though Hetalia concentrates on world history and Marie & Gali deal with science (especially with physics), both are parodies that demonstrate historical/scientific facts with a humor of cleverness and stupidity that makes both shows interesting and hilarious to watch, while pretty much getting a free quick review of world history and physics. Also, both shows consist of 5 minute long episodes, making them all the more similar. If you enjoy one of them, you will very much enjoy the other!
Ouran High is a school for the extremely wealthy or, in Haruhi's case, the extremely talented. But no amount of talent will help when Haruhi accidentally drops an eight million yen vase in a music room. The vase was the property of Ouran High School Host Club, a group of attractive young men who, for a fee, provide their time and affections for their lovesick clientele: the female students. Fascinated by this strange new specimen, a poor and clumsy commoner, they force Haruhi to work for them until the debt is repaid; but they get a lot more than they bargained for...
Hetalia: Axis Powers and Ouran High School Host Club are really funny parody anime (Hetalia parodies historical events, while Ouran pokes fun of tropes common in shoujo anime). Each's claim to fame comes from their casts, which are made up almost exclusively of bishounen (so... many... bishounen...). Some of the (bordering on shounen-ai) situations the gaggle of bishounen get into are sure to please any fangirl. Or anyone who enjoyed either.
Ouran High School Host Club and Hetalia: Axis Powers both feature a varied cast of beautiful, intriguing male characters who seem to have nothing better to do most days than fool around. This usually leads to amusing situations and ridiculous banter, although they both have their serious moments as well. Fans of one will probably like the other.
Bishounens... everywhere... and "this close to shounen-ai" situations for humorous purposes. The over-the-top antics in both anime make for some hilarious moments. The characters' interactions are also very similar. While the plots are very different, the plot is usually lost due to the cast's antics.
Both Oran and Hetalia have light characters and a light story line. They both include an array of beautiful characters that can be extremely random and comical.I would highly recommend both animes.
Uruno, a failure of a wolf, is currently traveling to find himself a new place to call home; but upon chancing across a rabbit, he attacks it only to realize that this particular rabbit is stronger than any predator! Soon afterwards he discovers that this entire forest he has come across is home to similar 'useless animals' that are atypical of their species. He decides to stick around when he meets his love interest in the form of a clumsy cheetah, and with his new friends, he meets the rest of the animals in the forest, causing much hijinx and fun in the process!
When I saw DD, I instantly thought of Hetalia in both anime and manga form. Both are in a five minute format that showcases the interactions between a big variety of characters, with an emphasis on cuteness and lightheartedness. They're also personifications - in Hetalia's case, the personifications are countries, and in DD we're watching some very unique animals. Both animes have to deal with the foibles of 'useless' characters that don't behave as expected, with a lot of laughter in the process.
Both of these series revolve around anthropomorphic gag characters interacting in hilarious ways, and both have a similar short format. Hetalia may be more "educated" than Useless Animals, but they share a similar sense of fun.

The battle between good and evil wages on in the town of Kawasaki! Sunred, a sarcastic, cranky hero often battles the forces of Florsheim, an evil organization out to achieve world domination! But for General Vamp and the rest of the Florsheim gang, attaining such a goal won’t be easy. Between helping Sunred move, deciding how to throw out a used frying pan, disputing over stolen ramen and recruiting new members, there’s never a quiet moment in Kawasaki!
Hetalia: Axis Powers and Tentai Senshi Sunred share a similar parodic style of comedy. While Hetalia personifies countries and shows them in various situations very loosely based in history, Sunred takes the standard Japanese superhero show and turns it on its head. Liked the wacky style of one? Then try the other, you may enjoy it.
Hetalia, and Sunred have been one of the VERY few animes that is purely based on comedy which get me laughing out my lungs.
Hetalia offers 5 minutes that can get you laughing about two the most boring topics, "politics and history".
Tentai Senshi Sunred shows how odd a battle of good and evil can be and how kindness and respect can be found anywhere. Thrown in with some humour and wacky scenes, you would have to pause the anime to be able to laugh to your fill.
People who ditched this animes have overlooked the best medicine for their soul, Laughter.
The relationship between servant and master has always been strained, but it’s even worse when the staff has to put up with their employer’s eccentricities. From the fearsome Masamune Date with his fetish for eye patches to the super-moe Motochika who has his employees swooning over him like a fanclub, the lords are having the time of their lives, while their servants certainly have their work cut out for them. With the confused Shingen believing he’s fallen for his rival, Nobunaga agreeing to every bizarre battle tactic suggested to him, and Masamune more interested in accessorising his horse than discussing war, it seems that Feudal Japan is much livelier than the history books make out.
