Ninja Nonsense

Completely random! The reason why I picked the sequel to Excel Saga.. and not the Excel Saga was mainly because Puni Puni Poemi has alot more fanservice and mature jokes than the Excel Saga. Shinobuden is -after all- quite mature. The humor in Puni Puni Poemi is alot more fastpaced than the one in Shinobuden though.

The kind of humor in both series is quite the same even though PPP goes a lot farther regarding the speed and "ecchiness". Both have in some way no "real" story and the only task of the actual storyline is to wrap the neverending flow of gags (which sometimes reqiure foreknowledge of several anime and/or manga series as well as japanese society).

2x2=Shinobuden and Puni puni poemi are two of the craziest animes I've ever seen. They have the same kinda of strange humor, slapstick and nonsense-dialouge. Everything happens twice as fast as in an normal anime and especially puni puni poemi brings the speed up to almost ridiciulous levels. Both are great series to watch if you want too see some crazyness.

Both are parody style animes with school aged shoujo ai elements. Both series will appeal to anyone that likes anime that knows how to laugh at itself.

Puni Puni Poemy and Ninja Nonsense are both spastic, sometimes non-sensical and often perverted parodies of anime series. The pacing and humor style are very similar to both. If you enjoyed one and are looking for more of the same, you can't go wrong by taking a look at the other.

The obvious link between these series is that both spoof an aspect of feudal Japans. Shibobuden takes Ninjas and puts them down as a perverted bunch, and Jubei-chan takes Samurai and puts them down as weird old men, clinging on to past habits and customs. Both series peak in terms of being zany and crazy characters. Really, you can't go wrong with either of them.

2x2=Shinobuden is about Ninjas and Jubei-chan is about Samurai; different main themes, but their sense of humour is about the same. They both dwell into the origin and history of these forms, and make fun of it. I think you'll have fun with both anime. Jubei-chan has some cool + swift action scenes.

The sene of humor in both of these series are of the same type. They are very absurd and often break the fourth wall by commenting that they are characters in an anime or that there are people watching. Both of these series are parodies in a way with Jubei-Chan being a parody of swordsman/samurai stories and Ninja Nonsense being well a parody of ninjas. There are two major differences between these two series I should mention though. Ninja Nonsense is much more perverted in its humor than Jubei-Chan so the content of the humor isn't always equivalent between the two series. Also Ninja Nonsense doesn't have an overarching story like Jubei-Chan. If these two aspects don't bother you then if you've watched one of these give the other a try.

The mood in Guu and Shinobuden can change in less than a second, it's not uncommon for the focus to move to something completely unrelated before you even know it. Shinobuden is a bit more hyper, but the randomness in these two is hard to be beaten.

Both series involve a normal, sensible character who is dragged into crazy situations by another, completely wacky character. Although 'Hale Nochi Guu' occurs in a slightly weirder setting, and 'Shinobuden' is slightly faster-paced; the similarity in the humor of both series means that if you liked one you should like the other.
