After Okojo-san (a feisty ferret) deftly escapes from the local pet store, Siawase Apartment will never be the same! Armed with long claws and a razor-sharp wit, Okojo-san finds adventure with a mouse sidekick. This show has attitude!
$10 can not only buy you a cute hamster; it also get you a devoted housekeeper who will cook, clean, put on suntan lotion, and cheer you on when your relationships get stale! Does it seem like a dream? Then picture what life would be like if anybody who calls your house gets to know the contents of your underwear drawer! If you can’t imagine what rodents and ecchi have to do with each other, then enter the life of the hamster Ebichu, her sexy master, and the good-for-nothing boyfriend Kaishounachi, and see why a talking hamster can be such a bother!
Ebichu is essentially the XXX-rated version of Okojo-san. Both involve animal(s) living with humans in an apartment, with plenty of off-the-wall and wacky humor. If you liked one, give the other a shot.
Both Ebichu and Okojo-san are animals with very distinct personalities, which are very possessive and vile at times. These anime also have a bizarre mixture of humor and misunderstandings. If you liked one of these, definitely check out the other.
Ebichu and Okojo share not only crazy, misunderstood animals as the main characters, but also slightly off humans surrounding them. While Okojo is obviously much more kid safe (there's a reason for that black hamster in Ebichu -- it's a censor hamster!) both are enjoyable and hilarious.
One day, a young kitten was on a walk with her mother and siblings; but soon she became separated from her kin. Struggling to find her way home, the kitten soon ran into a young boy named Yohei and his mother; and out of pity, the duo takes the kitten home with them. Unfortunately they discover that they are unable to keep pets in their home, and thus begin a quest to find her a new place to live. From playing with shoelaces to being washed, the cute kitten named Chi will have fun and get to know her new family – though all she really wants is to make it home to her feline mother.
Though Okojo and Chi's Sweet Home both involve animals living with humans in somewhat of a disconnect, Chi's Sweet Home is more adorable, with short 3 minute episodes showing "slices of life" from the kitten's point of view. Whereas Okojo thinks he owns the humans he lives with, Chi is a kitten, and therefore siimply distracted by things like milk and shoelaces. However, if you like animes about talking animals that no one understands, you would enjoy both.
Tohru Honda is a compassionate girl who is down on her luck. Her mother having recently died, she has been forced to camp out in the woods for shelter. However, things start to turn around once she is invited to live with class hunk Yuki Sohma and his family... but all is not as it seems! Yuki's family is burdened with a dark curse which causes them to turn into the animals of the Chinese zodiac once hugged by a member of the opposite sex... and Honda may be the only one who can help them.
Fruits Basket, like Okojo-san, has sarcastic/witty humor and a likeable cast of animals (to an extent). If you liked the wacky elements of one, definitely try out the other.
He's small, he's scaly, he's Gon! This tiny Tyrannosaurus Rex may seem like nothing but a lazy reptile that lounges around and causes mischief, but he's also a pint-sized powerhouse filled with energy who can defend himself when the right kind of food is involved. Whether he's riding a sabertooth tiger like a horse, catching fish to make friends or trying to impress peacocks, Gon manages to get into trouble on every adventure he takes.
The two series couldn't be more different as far as setting, but both involve a badass animal main character whose size is of no concern when compared to his punchy attitude!
