Poyopoyo

Poyopoyo

It's a basketball! It's a melon! It's… Poyo the cat?! After drunkenly stumbling across the bulbous, cuddly creature on the street one day, Moe Satou decides to bring the stray home and keep him in the house as a family pet. Whether he's lounging around or bringing snacks to the other strays in the neighborhood, Poyo is always getting into a variety of misadventures with his new owners and friends, including the lovable neighbor cat Kurobe, doting father Shigeru and a host of kittens.

Besides the obvious similarity in subject matter (pet cats), both shows are short little bites of light fluff that roll the end credits before they become stale. Each show is a cute simple diversion and seem to be the textbook defintion of safe harmless programming. If you're looking for an escape from the robots and the harems, you can't go wrong with either.

Two crazily cute, short episode anime about a family and their adventures with their new household cat. Both are sweet and charming and hilarious all at the same time.

sgrby877 sgrby877 says...

Both are short stories involving two very cute kitties.  This is definitely a feel good series which has a lot of cute moments and just makes you want to go dawwwww

deideiblueeyez deideiblueeyez says...

Both have kitties made for viewers to go ga-ga over (so precious! Yes you are! Yes you are!!! Squeee!! x3 ) with cute lil adventures that have really no meaning at all but are still a nice distraction from everyday life. Both are also family friendly, so you can just keep telling yourself that this is "for the children" and you're not just watching this for yourself.

If you like short, cute anime about cats then you'll love both of these series. Poyopoyo is a little more on the bizarre and comical side, but if you like one, then definitely check out the other.

mangalife100 mangalife100 says...

Both Chi's sweet home and Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki tell the everyday adventures of adorable cats in which the cuteness factor is so high it may give nosebleeds... Cat lovers will adore both: Lord knows I do! :3

VeridianRivers VeridianRivers says...

Adorable cat antics. A cat protaganist and a family that considers their cat a family member. Lovable and fun for any age. Short episodes, 3 minutes, mean that you can watch at least an episode a day, even when you are busy.

AnnaSartin AnnaSartin says...

Short three-minute long episodes about the uplifting adventures of cute cats and the people who love them. What's not to love? Animal lovers should check out both shows.

Candies Candies says...

These 2 are extremely similar! They're both about cats and the cats lives, going on everyday adventures and such. Both family friendly as well and if you like one of the, you'll for sure like the other :)

Nyanpire The Animation

Nyanpire The Animation

Tiny, abandoned Nyanpire would have died when he was the kitten if not for the help of a kind stranger… a stranger that happened to be a blood-sucking vampire! Bringing the feline back to life with a few drops of his blood, the man then vanished, leaving Nyanpire to fend for himself. Now, the whimsical kitty lives with Misaki as her housecat, and spends every moment of the day figuring out a new way to find or beg for blood, even if it means turning to a friend such as the samurai Masamunya or angel Nyantenshi!

If you like short episodes about cute kitties, then you'll love both these shows. The plots aren't much, but they are heartwarming just the same.

Suimin Suimin says...

Both of these anime are about an adorable lost kitten who is saved and given a home to stay. The biggest difference between the two shows is that Chi is a normal kitten in a world without the supernatural, while Nyanpire is a vampire kitten in a world that is filled with supernatural things. Nyanpire the Animation is much like a supernatural version of Chi's Sweet Home.

yugure yugure says...

Nyanpire and Chi's Sweet Home are both super cute cat related animé. Both series have short episodes about the adventures of those little kitties. Chi's Sweet Home is better than Nyanpire though. Chi's Sweet Home has more episodes and at least some sort of plot. Nyanpire is more random, but it's still very cute.I hightly recommend both animé

Justaway Justaway says...

Do you like cute kittens?

If yes, then both Nyanpire and Chi's Sweet Home will appeal to you. Both are short episodes about cats and their everyday life.

technochocolate technochocolate says...

Short, adorable episodes about sweet kittens? If you like one, you will certainly like the other! The main difference?  Chi's Sweet Home is a very simple idea of a what a real kitten's life is like.  Nyanpire is a little more, uh...whacked out, I would say. ;)

lots of cute, warm, fuzzy feelings come from watching these two programs and you will always find yourself with a silly smile on your face

Kuruneko

Kuruneko

A lady lives a quiet life with her two loves: alcohol, and her many cats. She’s had many of the latter over the years including an oft-grumpy Scottish Fold mix and Poko, an orange ball of energy who was abandoned as a kitten and saved to live another day. Whether the kitties are playing with cotton gloves, getting to know each other or causing mischief, they and the lady live happily together.

Cats doing adorable cute annoying cat like things with their humans along for the ride. Both have short episodes that make you want to marathon them as fast as you can. Chi's sweet home is slightly more light hearted than kuruneko. Check one out if you liked the other.

cassiesheepgirl cassiesheepgirl says...

If you enjoyed the comedy of the relationships between owners and their pet cats in either of these short anime, then you may want to consider watching the other. Both focus on the slightly bizarre behaviours of our feline friends and if you like the slice of life approach to this then you may well enjoy both of these series.

Omurqi Omurqi says...

Cats! Who doesn't love them. Both Kuruneko and Chi's Sweet Home have adorable purrers getting into all kinds of funny situations with their owners. The episodes are very short on both shows, making for an easy watch and keeping things interesting. If you enjoyed one of these shows for being about cats, simple as that, I'd definitely recommend watching the other.

Funkgun Funkgun says...

Yeah, nothing is more cute than cats doing funs stuff.

Did you dig one? see the other then, what are you waiting for?

Kappa no Kaikata

Kappa no Kaikata

Kappas (Water Imps) and humans have a long history together in Japan, and in today's urbanised world, kappas can be purchased as pets. This is what a young man decides to do, and names his water imp 'Kaatan'. With no prior experience of keeping kappas, the new pet-owner consults a 'How to Raise a Water Imp' manual. He cares for, tames, and trains Kaatan, enjoying the imp's charms and patiently enduring his messes! Whether it's potty training or going out to play with other kappas, there's always an adventure for Kaatan and his new owner.

hellonavi hellonavi says...

If you're looking for a sweet (and short) anime about pets, I recommend Kappa no Kaikata and Chi's Sweet Home. Both are very lighthearted and funny accounts of the daily life of a pet and their owners. Those who liked Kappa no Kaikata or Chi's Sweet Home should watch the other.

cassiesheepgirl cassiesheepgirl says...

Both of these series consist of short and humorous accounts of a pet and their owner. Both animal protagonists are extremely sweet and funny as they adapt to their new environments. If you liked the light-hearted side of one then try the other.

chii chii says...

Pets are a wonderful thing. Both these shows show the care and comedy an owner goes through with their pets. Kappa no Kaikata is slightly more strange since it is a kappa where Chi is about an adorable kitty. Both have short episodes and are sure to entertain.

Higepiyo

Higepiyo

Higepiyo is just like any other chick; he's small, yellow, and... has a beard?! With an imposing presence and his constant sighing, it's not surprising that Higepiyo is the last chick left at the festival stand. Luckily for the now-depressed salesman, Hiroshi and his parents decide to buy Higepiyo for their own bizarre reasons. It's only when the family get him home that they realize just how weird this chick really is. From reading the newspaper to attacking the school bullies over a bread roll, Higepiyo is far from your average pet. Now Hiroshi and his parents must adapt to living with this food-crazed, talking chick - that is, if they can stop living in fear of their new pet! They just have to remember that while Higepiyo may not be cute, he may have a beard and he may ask for a second helping of curry, he's still a chick just the same!

If you enjoy short comedic anime about pets, then both of these series are for you. Though Chi has more realism and Higepiyo is a bit more on the random side, if you enjoyed the slightly different style and comedy of one then you may well like the other.

chii chii says...

Pets are a wonderful thing. Both these shows show the care and comedy an owner goes through with their pets. Higepiyo is slightly more out there because it is a chick that can talk to it's owner where Chi is about an adorable kitty. Both have short episodes and are sure to entertain.

Mainichi Kaasan

Mainichi Kaasan

Being a mom is never easy, especially when the arrival of spring results in your children drawing weather maps on the walls and leaving their ice cream to melt in your bed! For Rieko Kamohara this is just a part of her daily routine. While her drunken husband works as a travelling photographer and is often away from home, Rieko has to try and balance her job as a manga artist with looking after her two young children, Bunji and Fumi. From looming deadlines and her own mother nagging her about her duties as a housewife, to being hounded by a middle aged man dressed as a fairy who claims to be the spirit of early education, it’s amazing that super mum Rieko manages to keep her sanity intact at all!

Both Mainichi Kaasan and Chi's Sweet Home are slice of life comedies. They both share a similar visual style and if you enjoyed the nature of one, you are likely to enjoy the other.

Both Chi's Sweet Home and Mainchi Kaasan are laid back with simple plots and basic art. They are both from TV Tokyo. 

Hamtaro

Hamtaro

Laura is a typical fifth-grade girl with a not-so-typical pet: Hamtaro! Quirky and curious, Hamtaro quickly makes friends with his fellow "neighbors" after the duo moves to a new town, and a lifetime of adventures begins. Whether it's attending sports festivals, visiting museums in the search for the world’s largest seed or playing matchmaker, the Ham-Ham Friends will stop at nothing to have a good time.

Both of these shows are certered on an adorable protagonist. Both have a little animal getting into messes and adventures. You will laugh and get tingly all over from the cutness in both of these shows.

Deer50 Deer50 says...

Both has explosive cuteness in every episode. Both are about the main (animal) character's adventures or experiences. Both are adorably animated in a way that makes you smile.

Himouto! Umaru-chan

Himouto! Umaru-chan

To the rest of the world, Umaru is kind, smart, and the perfect high school student. But her brother, Taihei, knows the truth: at home, she's a bratty, slovenly, lazy girl who eats junk food, plays video games, and throws tantrums when Taihei won’t buy her manga or do what she wants! Now, in addition to working full time to support their household, Taihei must do all of the cooking, cleaning and shopping while Umaru enjoys her carefree days as an unabashed, yet secretive, otaku.

The main characters are very cute and cuddly, and although Chi is realistically small, both her and Umaru share the same breed of lazyness, love and chibi.

ColloquialDuckling97 ColloquialDuckling97 says...

So much I could say about this recommendation, but I'll keep it short- they're both small, lazy and very, very kawaii.

Bananya

Bananya

What would happen if you started to peel a tasty banana, only to find an adorable kitty lurking inside? Bananya (“nya” is the Japanese word for “meow”) and all of his fruity feline friends are on the loose and having any exciting escapades. Will Bananya ever achieve his lifelong dream of one day becoming a trendy, chocolate-covered banana? One thing is for certain, you'll be in for a whole bunch of fun with this purr-fect collection of Bananya adventures!

Karasune Karasune says...

Cats! Chi's Sweet Home takes a bit more of a realistic route and plays with the every day life of a normal cat and being a cat owner while Bananya is more silly with cats hiding inside bananas, but if you like felines and fluffy cuteness then I'm sure you'll be a fan of both shows. 

Nicknames Nicknames says...

Both are overly-cute short shows featuring cats (or cats in bananas) fooling around. Chi’s Sweet Home is a bit more realistic than Bananya but if you liked one and you’re in need of some diabetes-inducing cuteness give the other a go!

Ocha-ken: Chokotto Monogatari

Ocha-ken: Chokotto Monogatari

Ryoku, Aru, Muha, Ron, Hana, Cafe and Chai are colorful tea-dogs who want nothing more than to enjoy each other's company and be friends. Along with the finicky tea-cats, this group of companions will learn valuable lessons about life and friendships, in this quiet 5-minutes-per-episode series filled with positivity and morals.

kilrothi kilrothi says...

Though Ocha-Ken and Chi's Sweet Home are both primarily about animals, Ocha-Ken is much more obviously aimed at children, with short, simpl, slightly-insipid storylines. Chi's Sweet Home, on the other hand, while adorable is also a bit more entertaining, showing things from the kitten's point of view with the lack of a narrator. But if you're just looking for an anime with adorable characters, short episodes (3-5 minutes) and simple storylines, both are equally satisfying.
