Pugyuru
Synopsis:
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.

Di Gi Charat
- TV (16 eps x 5 min)
- 1999
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.

add recIf you liked the cuteness and random humour of Pugyuru or Di Gi Charat then you may want to check out the other. Both share a similar sort of comedy so if that style appeals to you then both of these series are for you.
Azumanga Daioh
- TV (26 eps)
- 2002
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!

add recThe main similarity is the oddness of the humor, as well as the utility of a lot of still images to get this humor across. The main difference, however, is the fact that Pugyuru is just a short series with few characters and is, unlike Azumanga Daioh, not situated in high school. The humor of Azumanga Daioh is also a bit more focused on culture and language, rather than plain slapstick.
Azumanga Daioh and Pugyuru both feature very randomized comedy focused on the characters within the series. It's a specific blend of randomized comedy that may not be suitable for anyone. The major difference between the two is that Pugyuru features intentionally awkward animation and sequences, and is much shorter in its overall length and episode count to really develop a story or run with the same gags like Azumanga does.
Cromartie High School
Alt titles: Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
At Cromartie High, it’s tough being a delinquent -- a fact that do-gooder Takashi Kamiyama intimately understands. When he’s not engaging in contests of strength and rival gang wars, Kamiyama can also be found submitting punny jokes and planning his own rise to fame within the delinquents’ ranks, and that’s just the beginning! With friends like robotic Mechazawa, a giant gorilla, a hairy man from the 80s named Freddie and a clan of delinquents with mohawks that flow in the wind, how can anyone not enjoy high school?

add recThese are seemingly different series, but they share one major theme: odd otherworldly humor. One thing to look out for: Cromartie has very square, pseudo-serious art, while Pugyuru is totally kawaii (=cute).
If you like the premise of either series and don't care about art, these are both series for you.
Both Cromartie High School and Pugyuru feature very similarly absurd humor, in episodes short enough to not be overwhelming. Both also parody school delinquints, have several high school students that aren't human, and a student that just can't get anyone to listen to their name.
Momoiro Sisters
- TV (24 eps)
- 1998
Two sisters struggle through the everyday life of a girl. One sister is a pure and innocent high school student with an attraction to a middle school boy. The other sister is the older, naughtier sister who works in an office. Both sisters will face the everyday 'girl' problems in a hilarious way, from sex to breast sizes.

add recBoth Momoiro Sisters and Puguyru have two things in common- an abbreviated episode length and a central focus on randomized comedy. Momoiro Sisters differs in that its brand of comedy is slightly more for the mature audience (in the sense of ecchi premises and issues surrounding women from a first kiss to going on a diet). Pugyuru, however, focuses more on randomized comedy focusing on the natural quirks of the highlighted characters. Both feature comedy that may either have you rolling on your sides laughing, or scratching your head at the random craziness.
Super Kuma-san
- OVA (1 ep)
- 2003
Kuma is a typical friendly sentient stuffed bear -- that is, until he gets angry and transforms into Super Kuma-san, protector of all that is good and pure! With a homicidal doll on the loose, Kuma-san is up to his paws in trouble. Can he stop the carved beauty before it's too late?
