Galaxy Angel

Galaxy Angel

Combined, the ever-hungry airheaded Milfeulle, voluptuous Ranpha, cold-as-ice Vanilla, regal Mint and aggressive gun-wielding Forte make up the Galaxy Angels -- an intergalactic team dedicated to finding the elusive Lost Technology! Joined by the once suicidal missile AI (now in the body of a stuffed animal), these girls must complete their mission at all costs! From finding lost pets to helping a pizzeria in debt, to infiltrating outposts full of monkeys, the work of a Galaxy Angel is never complete...

Galaxy Angel and Magical Play are both very spastic and random series that follow the same format: wacky misadventures all around! I am positive if you liked one, you'd like the other.

Di Gi Charat

Di Gi Charat

One day, Dejiko, Puchiko and the strange ball-shaped Gema-Gema crash land their UFO in the middle of Akihabara. Without a single yen to their name they have nowhere to go, but following an unexpected and generous offer from the manager of a nearby store, the trio begin working at the shop in exchange for renting the room upstairs. Alongside Dejiko’s self-confessed rival Rabi-en-Rose, as well as a mysterious bear that has mastered the ability to appear happy, sad, depressed and angry all at once, the insanity is only just beginning! From shooting window shoppers with Dejiko’s Laser Eye Beam and the appearance of a bizarre farting impostor, to a sudden attack on the city by Godzilla, life at Gamers is certainly livening up.

Di Gi Charat, like Magical Play, is completely spastic and random. It's just as full of weird transformations, wacky sidekicks, and laughs. Definitely check it out.

Pugyuru

Pugyuru

In a normal neighborhood in a normal city, a young maid arrives from the maid village to help out a young unnamed girl. But this battery-operated being is no ordinary maid! Not only can she remove her head and turn her body into glue (amongst other things), Cheko-chan also has the wackiest of friends. From Mizore, the edible snow spirit from the north, to Nachiko, a large squid who likes to change faces, to Kanato the Yankee, the bully who is the strongest of them all, it seems the craziness has just begun in the life of a once typical high school student.

If wacky randomness is your thing, check out Pugyuru. Just as bizarre (in fact, maybe more) than Magical Play but definitely the same style and feel.

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.

Both Guu and Magical Play take place in zany alternate universes, have a similar madcap sense of humor, and have about the same ecchi factor.

Gokudo

Gokudo

Gokudo is an adventurer who lies, cheats, and steals to get exactly what he wants, until he steals a magic sword. After a comedic lesson in humility and the prospect of riches and women, he embarks on a quest to save the world of magic. Travelling with the slime-ball Gokudo are royalty, fantastic creatures, and even gods.

If you like evil heroes who care only about their own goals these series are for you.

Eveybody there, cares a little about their companions, but they still get along well and look like real friends.

Majokko Tsukune-chan

Majokko Tsukune-chan

Meet Tsukune-chan, a young witch who patrols the country on her broomstick, helping out all those in need. Whether she is healing a rabbit-man’s broken leg, solving a murder case, or even battling a demon king, Tsukune-chan is sure to succeed in her own style, even if it means barbequing her familiar or whacking her foe in the head with a mallet! With her sister, Kokoro, whose sneezes cause massive explosions; Mr Mayor, who is often found goofing-off at her house; and Charlotte Flowers, her self-confessed rival, Tsukune-chan’s life is never dull, especially when you throw watermelon masters and mecha santas into the mix!

Digix Digix says...

These are very simmilar series. Both feature antihero type characters who unintentionally make havoc and sometimes hurt inocent people. None of them have any ususal "love" and "friedship" stuff.

It feels like watching sequel or alternative version of same series.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan

Angels are genteel and graceful messengers from Heaven, right? Wrong! Sakura Kusakabe will create an invention that inadvertently ruins the future for womankind and thus, angels from the future have arrived to do the only reasonable thing: assassinate him! Fortunately for Sakura, one of them, Dokuro-chan, takes a liking to him but her intentions to protect him prove downright lethal. When Sakura’s not dodging her spiked bat Excalibolg, he’s fighting for his life on river escapades. And when he’s not quick enough, Dokuro-chan’s catchy incantation brings him back to life! Bludgeoning and blood splatters aside, can Dokuro-chan save the one she loves without damaging the future?

Dokuro-chan and Magical Play are parodies of the magical girl genre (actually, it's possible that Magical Play isn't so much a parody as it is a very odd take on the genre, I still can't tell). Regardless, both feature magical girls with strange personal themes, ecchi elements, gratuitous violence (much more so in Dokuro-chan), a happy-go-lucky atmosphere that doesn't quite fit the story, and a cast of super-powered idiots.

Di Gi Charat Nyo

Di Gi Charat Nyo

Di Gi Charat Nyo is an alternate universe to the Di Gi Charat franchise. Dejiko and Puchiko arrive at Earth for the first time, and arrange to stay with an aspiring toy store owner. Many of the old gang are back, in different roles/characters, such as Rabi-en-Rose, and others. One thing is for sure -- it still has the same quirky randomness that goes along with the name Di Gi Charat!

Bored of high ideals like love and friendship? then these series are exactly what you need, enjoy infinitely cynical cute girls. Both series features main characters who are amazing even their supposedly evil enemies with their selfish acts.
