Weiss Survive
Synopsis:
Takeshi was just an ordinary guy until a perfectly innocent study session with Michi - the most beautiful girl in the school - ended up with him being mysteriously transported into the strange dimension known as the Weiss Schwarz Battle Space. Once there, a crazy but enthusiastic old man informs him that he is the chosen warrior and must win a succession of card battles to get back home. The only problem: he doesn't know how to play! However, with the expert Michi ready to teach him the ins and outs of this bizarre and improbably slapstick card game, Takeshi will learn the ropes and get ready for the card battle of a lifetime. Assuming he survives the training...

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan
- OVA (8 eps)
- 2005
Angels are genteel and graceful messengers from Heaven, right? Wrong! Sakura Kusakabe will create an invention that inadvertently ruins the future for womankind and thus, angels from the future have arrived to do the only reasonable thing: assassinate him! Fortunately for Sakura, one of them, Dokuro-chan, takes a liking to him but her intentions to protect him prove downright lethal. When Sakura’s not dodging her spiked bat Excalibolg, he’s fighting for his life on river escapades. And when he’s not quick enough, Dokuro-chan’s catchy incantation brings him back to life! Bludgeoning and blood splatters aside, can Dokuro-chan save the one she loves without damaging the future?

add recWhen it comes to plot, setting and all of that jazz, these two anime are very different. This notwithstanding, at the centre of both shows lies a core of amusing ecchi shenanigans, accentuated by unnecessary violence. Dokuro-chan is a bit heavier on the brutality, but both series are powered by the same dynamic of perverted actions and hilariously vicious retribution. I think the chances are fairly good that that's why you enjoyed one of these, so go right on ahead and pick up the other.
Gag Manga Biyori
Alt titles: Masuda Kousuke Gekijou Gag Manga Biyori
- TV (12 eps x 5 min)
- 2005
What do you do when the Emperor of Japan has been replaced with... an alien from Planet Octopus?! From intense motorcycle races to crazy machine inventors from Holland, from sea voyages to battles about emo trading cards, there's never a dull moment in the life of the bizarre. Join an eclectic cast as they are visited by a Ramen Fairy, are reincarnated over and over, solve cases like detective pros, and overall have a laughably ridiculous time!

add rec"Making sense is for wussies!" I'm pretty sure that phrase - give or take a translation - was the inspiration behind both of these anime, as neither even attempt to ground themselves in reality. Weiss Survive is a leedle bit more ecchi and Gag Manga Biyori is a touch more frantic, but both of them are slapstick, unpredictable and oh so joyously random.
Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya
Alt titles: Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yuutsu
- Web (25 eps x 4 min)
- 2009
Join Haruhi, Yuki, Kyon, Mikuru, Itsuki, and the rest of the gang in their all-new adventures. From creepy dreams, dodge ball games, quiz shows, and cosplay contests, the excitement never stops! Can Kyon, the only normal student of the SOS Brigade, make sense of all these odd occurrences, attempt to avoid them, and hopefully survive them with his sanity intact? With the adventure and mystery-seeking Haruhi in his way, along with aliens, espers, and time travelers, he certainly has his doubts!

add recDo you like random humour? I'm guessing so, as you probably wouldn't be checking this rec out otherwise. In any case, these anime have a fairly similar brand of hilarious stupidity. Haruhi-chan Suzumiya no Yuuutsu is slightly more character-based while Weiss Survive lays the ecchi on a little thicker, but both hit hard with unexpected occurrences and wide-spread bizarrity. For that reason, it's very much a case of "liked one, watch the other".
