Shuffle!

Shuffle!

Kaede is a devoted high school student who lives with her adopted brother Rin. She holds a quiet confidence that one day, when Rin finally starts showing interest in sex, he will make the obvious choice and turn to his loving sister. But what Kaede wasn’t counting on was the lords of heaven and hell coming to Earth, wanting Rin to mate with their nubile daughters! Rin, like any teenager would, takes full advantage of his newly acquired harem; but how long can he keep up his carefree, boxed-lunches-on-the-rooftop lifestyle, as the horde of girls on his tail grows?

If you liked Negima, you'd like Shuffle because both anime series are about love and friendship and also about making a choice. Also in both anime, magic plays a certain role; in Negima it appears the most.

AngryJellyfish AngryJellyfish says...

Both series contain magic, both series contain romance and both series contain comedy. Both series' titles end with a '!' too, but that's irrelevent. Shuffle! focuses more on romance and comedy than on magical battles, so if you liked Negima! but want something with less fighting, I would recommend it.

hontokawaiinekochan hontokawaiinekochan says...

Both Negima and Shuffle are about friendship and love, and are about girls who must make choices. Also, you can find the element of magic in both series;  though in Negima, magic is a bit more present. If you like one of them, you will almost certainly like the other one too.

Lime-iro Senkitan

Lime-iro Senkitan

On February 10, 1904, Japan entered a war with Russia; but Japan, in order to turn the tides, must destroy the Russian Pacific fleet before it is able to bring reinforcements. Battling on the front lines are brave men and women, and a secret team of specially-trained young girls who can control Raimu spirits with their will: the Raimu Unit. Enter Shintaro Umakai - a teacher who has accepted a job aboard the battleship Amanohara to teach the Raimu unit; however, Shintaro discovers his job has far more duties than he first anticipated: he must have sex with the young Kuki so the ship can awaken, he must dodge the sexual advances of his students, he must avert his eyes from Momen's constant accidental panty shots, and most importantly he must assume the role of their new commander once their old one is whisked away by the enemy. There's a war going on - what's a guy to do?

In Negima! and Lime-iro Senkitan, there is a guy who becomes a teacher of a bunch of girls and then his world is turned upside-down. The only thing different is that in Lime-iro Senkitan, the girls control a bunch of mystical beasts to fight off evil, while in Negima!, there's a little extra spice.

ConnorD ConnorD says...

In both Mahou Sensei Negima! and Raimuiro Senkitan, they follow a story on a Guy who becomes the new teacher for a group of girls. And both consist of a ton of Harem to follow that up!! if you liked one of these then im sure youll like the other one

kawazer kawazer says...

i really enjoyed both of them, and they are the same but lime-iro senkitan is more ecchi er but they both contain a kind of magic and both have a guy teaching girls

However, fate smiles upon him and he ends up working for his aunt, managing an all-girls dorm! Living with the feral Kaolla, the timid Shinobu, the sake-loving Mitsune, the blade mistress Motoko and the punch-happy Naru, can Keitaro keep his focus and keep his promise? And will he ever end up meeting that girl from his past?

Mahou Sensei Negima! and Love Hina are both about a single man who has to deal with a group of ladies he is living with. The two anime incorporate the same type of humor and were even drawn from the same manga artist. You should see them both.

kittysniper kittysniper says...

first of all they are made by the same person ken akamatsu. second they are so great! they have a overwhelming comedy feel but deep in your mind you know there is a bit of drama going on. not to mention he uses a part of the same idea one guy a whole lot of girls.

ConnorD ConnorD says...

Mahou sensei negima and Love Hina, both have similarities that seemed to attract me towards the series. Both are compiled of a shy boy and multiple girls, whether its the shy girl who is trying to confess, or the violent girl who is about to knock him out. Both storys are filled with plot twists and a lot of fun!

The Familiar of Zero

The Familiar of Zero

In a world where magic is a reality, the young Louise is at the bottom of her class. Dubbed "Zero" by her classmates at Tristein Academy (due to her zero success rate for magic), Louise (along with all first year students) was charged with summoning a familiar; and instead of a cute magical creature, the familiar arrived in the form of... Saito Hiraga, a normal Japanese boy who was abruptly teleported from his own world?! Can both Louise and Saito come to terms with their new and complicated "relationship" and (more importantly) help Saito find a way home?

Uniflame Uniflame says...

ZnT and Negima involve magic, a lot of girls, and a main character who is connected to them. Both anime are also very funny and have the same kind of weird humor, while still having a good story. Also if you are into fanservice, both series have plenty of it but in a funny not annoying way.

Plazma Plazma says...

Not the exact same; but similiar nonetheless both contains two male characters that are out of place, romance, and obviously magic.

warl0ckrock warl0ckrock says...

Both are based around magic, school, and ecchi. Lot's female characters in both shows. And both have people who have no idea about magic learning about it and becoming involved with those who use magic.

Pani Poni Dash!

Pani Poni Dash!

She’s smart, talented, and the newest teacher at Momotsuki Academy; but she’s also… 11 years old?! Named Becky Miyamoto, this pint-sized MIT prodigy wants nothing more than to be a respectable educator, but all her students do is treat her like an adorable child! With space aliens, a class full of stereotypes (and one girl who is normal!), and a quick temper standing in her way, Becky will try her best to shape the eager young minds of tomorrow before she hits puberty!

TheGiftedMonkey TheGiftedMonkey says...

Young genius teachers are all the rage! Both Negima and PaniPoni pull off this idea in their own unique and comedic way. The students just adore a cute little brainiac trying to reach up the blackboard or see over the podium. Negima does a more streamline story that involves magic and adventure, while Paniponi Dash goes more into the slapstick comedy and cameo realm with numerous real world references.

rossion rossion says...

if you like child age teachers and comedy you will like both negima! and paniponi dash! they both also have thing happen on negima! it is magic on panipono dash! it is more to do with aliens all in all both are a great laugh and good anime's

cassiesheepgirl cassiesheepgirl says...

Did you like seeing a class of students fawn over their young teacher? Did you enjoy their weird and wonderful adventures? Then why not try out Paniponi Dash. Even though their plotlines are different, both are comedic series with wacky fun spread throughout.

Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon

Life can be tough when you're a teenager.

Suddenly, Usagi finds herself with the ability to transform into the superhero known as Sailor Moon. Fighting the occasional monster may be the least of her worries, though...

In sailor moon a girl has to deal with newfound magical powers to fend off dilemas and problems, while also dealign with a romantic life and school probelms. Now, if you reverese that you get Negima! a Boy with newfound magical powers to fend off dilemas while also dealign with the multiple girls around him and His new life as a School teacher. If you liked Negima! or Sailor Moon, Then you will like the other one too.

fizrox fizrox says...

In both anime what you get is quite normal high school life led by people with magical powers, that were hidden just until recently. Love affair involved and quite the same sense of humour. The main characters of these series have the same even the same haircut! Shortly - if you liked one, you will surely not be disappointed in another.

Azumanga Daioh

Azumanga Daioh

Ten-year-old genius Chiyo, animal-loving Sakaki, loudmouth Tomo, athletic Kagura, weight-conscious Yomi and dim-witted Osaka are six friends who share laughs, good times, and a high school homeroom. With scary (and sometimes perverted) teachers, school festivals, penguin suits and general hilarity abounding, you can be sure that there's never a dull day in the life of one of these students!

Negima! and Azumanga Daioh both involve a group of friends at school. Negima! is a little bit different because it has magic in it, but I think that the similarities will make anyone who watches one of the anime to watch the other.

Both chobits, and Negima!, have a lot in common and if you liked one im sure the other is just down your alley. In both shows there seems to be girls of the boys choice (and sometimes it involves some robots.) Also as time moves on they seem to develop a Magical atmosphere that im sure you love! so if you likd one the other one will be great!
