Nothing is impossible. With a jumping flea causing massive earth tremors, a woman knitting with the sun's rays and a prisoner drawing his own escape route it seems that even the improbable can happen...

Both of these Yoji Kuri shorts are skit type anime consisting of various "humorous" sketches. If you liked one you'll likely enjoy the other.

Both movies share the same animation style and are made up of little comedy shorts which often involves people dying in some different ways (specially in Au Fou). If you liked one check out the other.

Popee the Performer

Popee the Performer

Meet Popee and Kedamono, two very abnormal circus performers that live a very eventful life. Whether they're performing dangerous stunts, dodging alien abductions or being taken over by a body-possessing frog, there's never a dull moment at the circus. Alongside the flamboyant Papi and a special elephant car, Kedamono and Popee will traverse an endless desert in search for an oasis, stab each other with knives for target practice and even blow each other up with bombs – but for poor Kedamono, surviving Popee's homicidal spurts will be difficult to say the least...

Both of these anime have a morbid sense of humor and involve people dying in random ways.  While I personally found Popee the Performer to be more entertaining, I think that if you like one you might like the other.

Both are compilations of shorts.  Both have rather simple animation (though different styles).  Both are rather odd (moreso in the case of Short Animation of Shintaro Kago) and have rather morbid feel to them.  Both often involve people dying in random ways.  Neither are very good (in my opinion).  Short Animation of Shintaro Kago is more explict than Au Fou!, but if you somehow like one then you may like the other.

Paranoia Agent

In the streets of Tokyo, a new menace has surfaced: Shounen Bat, a young boy who wears golden roller skates and a baseball cap, and likes to whack people on the head with a golden baseball bat. These seemingly unconnected and random attacks soon become a police investigation... but after all is said and done, is there a pattern to this chaos?

Tragedy on the G Line

Tragedy on the G Line

The humble line has a life of its own. As it travels from one point to the next it can take whatever route it fancies. With plenty of ups and downs, it encounters all manner of random items and beings as it endlessly travels towards its destination. But when lines become objects it can all go wrong...
