Amanchu! - Videos

Both focus on high school girls and their club activities. Both mix slice-of-life element and humour with more serious subplots about overcoming anxiety/past failure/stage fright. Further, the shows have similar settings - ocean towns, and a lot of breathtaking background art featuring the ocean (both from above and below). Love Live! Sunshine!! is much faster paced, but if you like one you might as well check out the other.

Both series involve school girls who live in a seaside town in out on the country side.

LLS and Amanchu also focuses a lot on the girls main club(s) (Idols and  diving).

The friendships and bonds within both of these series are also rather prevalent.

So both of course also have some ship teasing between the girls.

They are both also great series to watch if you just want some wholesome entertainment.

Aria is an unusually slow-paced show, and while Amanchu is a little faster, it still has a similar gentleness of pace and story development. In addition to the gentle pace, both shows heavily take place in and around water, and help you unwind and relax as you watch them. If you liked one, definitely try the other.

Aria and Amanchu are both written by the same person. They both focus on water. Just that Aria focuses on Venice in a fantasy type of way and Amanchu is more close to the real world. I'd say Aria is in some ways better than Amanchu. But it goes both ways.If you watched Aria and feel nostalgic but you don't want to watch it again, you just want a very similar experience, then watch Amanchu. You will be bias, obviously, so you will like it.And if you watched Amanchu and liked the vibe, then go watch Aria. It' better than Amanchu.

Both are slow paced shows about high school girls and their relationships, with similar atmospheres due to their focus on characters' anxieties and emotional development. Further, they were produced by the same studio, with the same director. If you like one of them, you should definitely check out the other.
