A goddess coming to help the main character, and as a consequence it develops a love relationship... Some good drama in the last 2 eps of the Ah! My Goddess OVA, just like in the end of Video Girl Ai.
TheBurningCrow

Ah! My Goddess has a somewhat similar storyline to Video Girl AI, where a boy is unlucky in life as well as love and has three goddesses bestowed upon him to help him find a good life and to figure out what love is all about.

Zadillo
Very similar feel in many ways, and you should enjoy the light-hearted romantic elements of it.
aldat
Both Oh! My Goddess and Video Girl Ai are sweet short stories about difficulties of falling in love with a magical almost-human girl ^^;; Of these two I prefer Goddess, but Ai is cute too, though it has a bit of ecchi.
MaximusThrax
Both of these series are (relatively) innocent romances between a shy, male Japanese high school student and a mysterious, supernatural girl who enters his life. Ah! Megami-sama is probably higher on the kawaii factor, and Video Girl Ai is a little more humorous. If you enjoyed one, you will almost certainly like the other.

Both series have a very sugary sweet romance that involves a magical girl with a normal guy. If you like that type of premise, then both Ah! My Goddess and Video Girl Ai are for you.

hinatasou

Both series are about forbidden love around either goddess or video girl. If you like fantasy & forbidden love with a side of comedy, you will surely like either one of these.

I would consider Chobits a more modern version of Video Girl Ai. The story in general is very similiar. The main charater, a guy, ends up taking care/living with artifical human, Chobits = Persocons; Video Girl Ai = Girl that comes out of a video tape (-_-"), then fall in love with her. Also the humor in both are ecchi type.
lantis
Video Girl Ai and Chobits hold distinctions for being two of the most recent anime to tug at my heart strings. Of course, there is the fact that they both involve an innocent to a fault young man falling in love with an artificial woman.
ea19gle

While a common theme in anime, the story about a luckless guy who gets the girl he wants in a way he isn't expecting manages to be compelling in both Chobits and Video Girl AI. Unlike Chobits, though, in Video Girl AI the girl cares back.

Foop

Video Girl A.I. and Chobits are very similar. Each has a relationship between an A.I. and a human. They are both great series and if you like that kind of stuff, you should watch them both.

chii

Very lucky boys come across or find androids that help out in their daily lives. With romantic feelings brewing between man and machine, lots of humor and a little bit of ecchi are surely involved. If you liked one check out the other.

DNA is a great series with many similarities to Video Girl Ai. The art is very similar, and even though the stories aren't the same at all, If you liked one, you'd like the other. There are also a few semi-ecchi moments in DNA, just as there are in Video Girl Ai.

Zadillo
From the same creator, and same character designs...... this also deals with a sort of unusual romantic setup, and you should enjoy it.
Lothar
Animation-wise DNA² and Video girl ai are very much the same (well, not to strange considering it's the same character designer). Although the stories differs very much they still give the same "feel" and they have somewhat the same sort of romance. Both are very much recommended.
MechaTama31
I haven't actually *watched* DNA² (I have read the manga '^_^), but both these series are based on manga by Masakazu Katsura, and they definitely bear his mark, in style, characters, and romantic tangles ^_^.

Both series have lots of similarities. An average, "unlucky" male who is in love with some girl but the love is not returned. Then there is that cute girl who is in love with the "unlucky" boy but unfortunately her passion is not noticed / not taken seriously. Both series offer the standard mixture of anime humour and romance.
TheBurningCrow
The story in this is very much the same plot as Sakura Diaries, where boy meets girl who ends up liking him, and he likes someone else, so girl becomes vengefull and sad. Very good, very short.
anime018

Sakura Diaries has a loving and funny yet serious story like Video Girl Ai. It can be fun to watch and sometimes unnerving at other times. All in all if you enjoyed Video Girl Ai you'll love Sakura Diaries.

Video Girl Ai and My Dear Marie are incredibly similar, plot-wise. Girl starts out as a toy, ends up falling in love with the boy. I thought Video Girl Ai was better, as My Dear Marie doesn't really have that much of a plot. Regardless, if you liked one you'd definitely like the other.
Rar
My Dear Marie and Video Girl Ai are both firmly in the make-your-own-girlfriend genre of fiction, light romance for teenage boys. Not that the two ovas are anything like identical, My Dear Marie is more comedy and less soppy, and has very clean simple character designs compared to the stylised Katsura attention to detail in Video Girl Ai. However they're basically the same kind of thing, if you're young enough and male enough to enjoy one, then both should appeal.
