Muteki Kanban Musume
Alt titles: Noodle Fighter Miki
Synopsis:
Miki is an endearingly psychotic mascot/waitress/delivery girl working at her equally frightening but somewhat less adorable mother's ramen restaurant. Both survivor and instigator of years of ruthless, no-holds-barred domestic violence, Miki has a capacity for destruction usually found only in people with things like "the Impaler" added to their name. Yet, she also has a kind side to her and is often found going implausible distances out of her way to rescue both proverbial and literal lost kittens, though some malignant souls might misconstrue this as merely ditching her work...

Excel Saga
Alt titles: Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga
F City, F Prefecture: the battleground where good and evil have finally chosen to decide once and for all who will rule the world…or at least that's the general idea! Neither side seems up for the task, as surviving the brutality of everyday life is enough of a chore. On the side of evil is the organization of Across, its only member the loudmouthed and abrasive Excel who struggles just to put food in her stomach; on the side of good, three disenfranchised, unemployed bachelors whose only pursuit in life is romance. Add in alien invasions, jungle warfare, and Mexican immigrant laborers to Japan, and this war doesn't seem likely to be ending soon!

add recBoth series are about absolutely nothing. If you like slapstick humor, these are the series for you. The main difference between the two is that while Muteki Kanban Musume seems to have some sort of story, Excel Saga has none and can be described as more random.
Aside from their premises, the characters (Miki and Excel from, respectively, Muteki Kanban Musume and Excel Saga) show a lot of similar characteristics.
Holy hyperactive characters! When I see Miki in action, the first character that comes to mind is Excel and vice versa. Both of these anime seem very fitting of each other in their random yet fun humor and the consistant use of slapstick comedy. Both Excel and Miki suffer from extreme attention span issues witch makes for similar situations (be it Illpalazo and his floor traps with Excel or Miki's mother pummeling her into a wall). Also, both anime seem to have a slight underlining plot, but its not really that relevant to how the show progresses.
Both series pay almost zero attention to a 'main plot'. Also, everything is random, nonsense but extremely funny. If you enjoy an anime that tries to do everything possible to be funny in a sort of violent (especially MKM) and random (especially Excel Saga) way, I recommend you watch both. Also, if you liked the comedy style in one of them, you will most likely enjoy the other.

add recBoth Muteki Kanban Musume and Shinobuden are random comedies.
While the jokes in Shinobuden are somewhat dirty compared to Muteki Kanban Musume, both shows are somewhat of a slapstick comedy and have "over the top" behaviour for the characters.
Both series have the same format too: there are two separate segments for each episode.
Ninja Nonsense and Muteki Kanban Musume have a lot in common, except for their settings. The characters in both series are equally weird and can hardly be called characters due to what little background story we are told about them. The series focus more on slapstick humor.
If you are a sucker for crazy slapstick humor and are not too interested in actually seeing some character development, these series will be great.
While it's alluded to in the title of Ninja Nonsense, if you like mental and nearly idiotic comedy then both of these series are for you. Both have random violence and have a definite over the top feeling about them. If you liked one, then definitely check out the other!
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
- TV (15 eps)
- 2003
Sagara Sousuke is far from the average high school student -- not only is he highly trained in military tactics, he puts his knowledge to use in every single applicable situation (and even those nonapplicable ones.) So, when confronted with high school, he tends to turn average high school experiences into off-the-wall adventures. Love letters become terrorist threats and field trips become commando operations; his survival depends on the watchful eye of his best friend and classmate, Chidori. Together, they may just make it out of high school alive...

add recMuteki Kanban Musume and Fumoffu are similar in that each uses a very slapstick style of comedy filled with both over-the-top violence and sheer randomness. Fumoffu is a bit more sophisticated, with inklings of romance and characters that have development beyond "violent nutcase", but if you enjoy the style of comedy, either of these series should make for a solid choice.
Full metal panic? Fumoffu and Muteki kanban musume are hilarious. Things just happen and you just start laughing like a maniac. Cute girls and Random violence are the ingredients to a great comedy.

add recIf you liked Muteki Kanban Musume and would like more focus on the actual food part, without losing too much slapstick and gaining some extra character development, Yakitate!! Japan would be a nice follow up. If you on the other hand like Yakitate!! Japan, but are looking for a somewhat similar concept with some more slapstick, I can recommend you Muteki Kanban Musume as well.
Both these animes center around the food industry. They are both humorous with a sarcastic portrayal of adults and competition. If you thought one was amusing, you will laugh through the other as well.

add recBoth Muteki Kanban Musume and Sergeant Frog are split into 2 parts per episode. If you like the spontaneous action from Sergeant Frog, then you'll like Muteki Kanban Musume and vice versa. They are bound to keep you laughing from the crazy things they do.
