Synopsis:

Imagine a mansion with a Christmas goods shop that appears out of nowhere, housing three beautiful sisters and a robot maid, all with very different personalities and figures. These sisters are looking for information that they can only acquire from "popotan," their term for dandelion flowers. After acquiring a hint of this information, the mansion and the girls vanish. Their travels take them through many places, and they meet a varied cast of characters during their quest, but what exactly is this information they're searching for so desperately?

While popotan is more focussed on older public, I still got the feeling that both series have the same sort of animation and both feature characters with "super" powers.

Both series focus on the importance of friends and family. Both also have some ecchi moments (nothing really bad in either, IMO).

Both have underlying stories of pain and loss, and how these feelings are dealt with. And all the female characters are totally cute. Both feature a peacekeeper character that kicks much ass. And they're both really ecchi. ^_^

Huh? Well, yes - both series focus on the interpersonal relationships of the three sisters. Whereas Kokoru Library is pure cute (diabetics take note - keep some insulin handy!) and there's quite a bit of drama in Popotan, both end up being a "coming of age" series.

Magic Users Club!

Note that there is both an OVA and an TV series for Magic Users Club. This recommendation is more for the TV series. MUC and Popotan have in common the feeling that they leave you with, which is sort of "huh, that was surreal". Both series feature ordinary people in an ordianry world with not so ordinary events guiding there lives. Both series even feature an enigmatic albino who seems to be pulling to strings for an unknown perpose. Additionally, both series seem to be both simultaniously targeting kids and adults as their audience. Both feature magic, ecchi, comedy with comedy giving way to drama in the later series.
