The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Kusuo Saiki is a typical 16-year-old high school student… except he has psychic powers. He can use them to get whatever he wants, but he also knows everything that people are thinking. Everything. No surprises, no secrets, no normal human experiences. He's kept his powers in check since childhood, but with the temptations of high school now on his mind, he's bending the rules—and spoons.

Both hinamatsuri and saiki are comedic anime series centered around a character with supernatural abilities and their many side characters and supporting cast. Some of the dry humor is similar as well.

drewbear drewbear says...

Both shows feature a stoic protagonist with psyhcic powers. Both shows are mostly episodic and are ripe with childish but appropriate humor. Once you watch both, you can't help help but see the similarities in comedy style and story telling. If you are a fan of one show, you'll love the other.

Both of these shows feature a good balance of hilarious interactions between powered people and other ordinary characters. Moreover, both these shows have a good pace with moderate character development, th more you watch them the more you feel fulfilled.

TheOmnipotentWeeb TheOmnipotentWeeb says...

Both have Psychic characters and both have hilarious moments. Both have a lot of dry humour, and while Saiki K. doesn't have an equivalent to the heart warming adventures of Anzu, you don't watch it for that. The main character hates everyone but his mum. The closest you get is the growing respect he gains for Teruhashi. This doesn't take away from the fact it's an amazing show.

You want something funny and different? Well, they are both super funny with some a bit smarter plots than KonoSuba, but they are great watch!

StarPlatinum23 StarPlatinum23 says...

Both shows have father-daughter-like interactions with the dads having unordinary jobs (Loid being a spy and Nitta being in the yakuza) and the girls having psychic powers (Anya being a telepath and Hina has telekinetic powers)

Both shows also have supporting characters that are just as interesting as the main characters.

Leahchu Leahchu says...

Both show's main male leads are abruptly made fathers when they adopt a young girl with psychic powers. Each man is not the paragon of prepardness for this situation, as one is a spy and the other is a yakuza. The show focuses on the antics of the children and the reflexive actions of the parents to these new family members. It also delves into the emotional growth these kids bring to the adults in their lives, especially those aforementioned dads. 

GeminiRabbit GeminiRabbit says...

The main character of this anime ends up adopting a child with some sort of psychic power, and has to deal with the challenges that come from raising their new child.

Zed Zed says...

Both series are about a supernatural girl that intrudes on the peaceful life of the protagonist.           

JigenDaisuke JigenDaisuke says...

Huh, now that I think of it, they are kinda comparable. Hare + Guu is a little more outlandish but they'e got some of the same basic feel

Doomoo Doomoo says...

Hare + Guu is a lot more slapstick but they have a kinda similair premise, I mean it's not exact or anything but it's the closest thing to Hinamatsuri i can think of.

Jdogtoocool Jdogtoocool says...

Now plot wise these anime dont compare in the least outside of dealing with yakuza and somewhat making fun of em but when it comes to that fun Japanese humor, priceless facial expressions, great character development, and smooth story telling, thats where the similarities start to shine. If you enjoy one I'm sure you'll enjoy the other.

NatsumeKhun NatsumeKhun says...

Hinamatsuri and Back Street Girls GOKUDOLS feature protagonists who are Yakuza who end up in a situation which forces them to take on more than they realize. Both shows are absolutely hilarious, heart warming, and chalk full of lovable characters and interactions. Hinamatsuri is more heartwarming, while BSGG is more about making the best out of an unconventional situation. Both are a great watch. 

Anexistinghuman Anexistinghuman says...

Both hilarous shows poking fun at the Yakuza.  Sure, they are pretty much complete opposites when it comes to the plot.  However, the humour used is quite similar!

Blend S

Blend S

Tsundere, Imouto (little sister type), etc. are only a few of the PERSONAS that the café waitresses play out here. And the new hire, Maika, is asked by the store manager to play none other than the SUPER SADIST!? As she becomes devoted to her work, her super sadist persona blooms unexpectedly... Everything is a treat—even being stomped on—in this outrageous working comedy!

An adult taking care of a child. In both animes you meet other characters from a mysterious other world with powers. 

TeeDeeDubYa TeeDeeDubYa says...

Light hearted most of the time with heavy moments.

Very similar char growth.

Similar structure in regards to plot.

DM has gigantic anime sweater hogs while Hina generally avoids that.

DM focuses way more on the slice of life while Hina displays some more subtle humour with an even spread across impactful chars.

Both heart warming comedys but different enough that your not watching the same exact anime

If you enjoyed one you'll likely enjoy both.

TheElfiestElf TheElfiestElf says...

Both of these shows are an oddball mix of genres. They both feature characters with varied superpowers and yet both of them aren't really an action or super power show. They're slice of life comedy. Both get a little heavy on occasion... Alice & Zoroku more than Hinamtsuri for sure but they're both still a comedy where nothing really happens at their heart.

Leahchu Leahchu says...

Both shows feature a young girl with mysterious powers that is found and also begrudgingly taken in by an adult man. With one man being in the mafia, and the other bitter in his old age, neither one is prepared for the life changes that happen due to their adoption. Each girl starts out very emotionally shut off from others but thanks to their new parent figure, they open up and begin to enjoy themselves. Alice & Zouroku has more action elements at the beginning but both shows fit into slice of life genre by the halfway point, meaning if you enjoy the feeling of one show, the other should grip you as well. 

Poco's Udon World

Ridden with guilt over disappointing his father, Souta is beginning to doubt the choices he's made in life thus far.

Cute, playful and full of energy, Souta names him Poco and the two develop a strong bond.
