Puni Puni Poemy

Puni Puni Poemy

Puni Puni Poemi is a spin-off of Excel Saga, the classic lampoon of all that is anime. It takes the daughter of two Excel Saga characters and puts her through parodies of shoujo, shounen, ecchi, hentai, and everything in-between. This eccentric show is the "Scary Movie" of anime: younger viewers need not apply.

Completely random! The reason why I picked the sequel to Excel Saga.. and not the Excel Saga was mainly because Puni Puni Poemi has alot more fanservice and mature jokes than the Excel Saga. Shinobuden is -after all- quite mature. The humor in Puni Puni Poemi is alot more fastpaced than the one in Shinobuden though.

knaecke knaecke says...

The kind of humor in both series is quite the same even though PPP goes a lot farther regarding the speed and "ecchiness". Both have in some way no "real" story and the only task of the actual storyline is to wrap the neverending flow of gags (which sometimes reqiure foreknowledge of several anime and/or manga series as well as japanese society).

Lothar Lothar says...

2x2=Shinobuden and Puni puni poemi are two of the craziest animes I've ever seen. They have the same kinda of strange humor, slapstick and nonsense-dialouge. Everything happens twice as fast as in an normal anime and especially puni puni poemi brings the speed up to almost ridiciulous levels. Both are great series to watch if you want too see some crazyness.

robbald robbald says...

Both are parody style animes with school aged shoujo ai elements. Both series will appeal to anyone that likes anime that knows how to laugh at itself.

MalteseFalcon MalteseFalcon says...

Puni Puni Poemy and Ninja Nonsense are both spastic, sometimes non-sensical and often perverted parodies of anime series. The pacing and humor style are very similar to both. If you enjoyed one and are looking for more of the same, you can't go wrong by taking a look at the other.

Excel Saga

Excel Saga

F City, F Prefecture: the battleground where good and evil have finally chosen to decide once and for all who will rule the world…or at least that's the general idea! Neither side seems up for the task, as surviving the brutality of everyday life is enough of a chore. On the side of evil is the organization of Across, its only member the loudmouthed and abrasive Excel who struggles just to put food in her stomach; on the side of good, three disenfranchised, unemployed bachelors whose only pursuit in life is romance. Add in alien invasions, jungle warfare, and Mexican immigrant laborers to Japan, and this war doesn't seem likely to be ending soon!

Just like 2x2 = Shinobuden, Excel Saga is a hyper show with total randomness.

flyboy42 flyboy42 says...

Ninja nonsense is basically if Excel saga was about ninjas, and if il palazo was a pervert, and if hyatt was normal. Otherwis, they are both crazy animes with hyper, attracive girls.

MalteseFalcon MalteseFalcon says...

Ninja Nonsense and Excel Saga are both crazy parody series where the characters rush full speed ahead with their own slapdash brands of humor. If you enjoyed the comedic elements of one series, you will more than likely enjoy the other.

rickshaw94 rickshaw94 says...

Both of these animes are for those who enjoy things a little more on the random side. with comeplete randomness in each episode of both shows, it will definetly keep you intrested. Andi if you liked one, you'll definetly like the other.

Jubei-chan: The Ninja Girl

Jubei-chan: The Ninja Girl

When a strange samurai tells her she is the successor of the swordsman Yagyu Jubei, Jiyu Nanohana refuses to believe him. But the descendants of Jubei's rivals have already sensed this, and one assassin after another is sent to attack Jiyu! Fortunately, Jubei left a little something for our heroine - a lovely heart-shaped eyepatch. As soon as Jiyu dons the eyepatch, she is overcome with Jubei's power and transforms into a ninja girl! Jiyu must put an end to the 300-year old feud between the samurai clans... before the feud puts an end to her.

animizzle animizzle says...

The obvious link between these series is that both spoof an aspect of feudal Japans. Shibobuden takes Ninjas and puts them down as a perverted bunch, and Jubei-chan takes Samurai and puts them down as weird old men, clinging on to past habits and customs. Both series peak in terms of being zany and crazy characters. Really, you can't go wrong with either of them.

Himitsu Himitsu says...

2x2=Shinobuden is about Ninjas and Jubei-chan is about Samurai; different main themes, but their sense of humour is about the same. They both dwell into the origin and history of these forms, and make fun of it. I think you'll have fun with both anime. Jubei-chan has some cool + swift action scenes.

Dullshimmer Dullshimmer says...

The sene of humor in both of these series are of the same type. They are very absurd and often break the fourth wall by commenting that they are characters in an anime or that there are people watching. Both of these series are parodies in a way with Jubei-Chan being a parody of swordsman/samurai stories and Ninja Nonsense being well a parody of ninjas. There are two major differences between these two series I should mention though. Ninja Nonsense is much more perverted in its humor than Jubei-Chan so the content of the humor isn't always equivalent between the two series. Also Ninja Nonsense doesn't have an overarching story like Jubei-Chan. If these two aspects don't bother you then if you've watched one of these give the other a try.

Ramen Fighter Miki

Ramen Fighter Miki

Miki is a psychotic mascot, waitress and delivery girl who works at her equally as frightening mother's ramen shop. Both survivor and instigator of years of ruthless, no-holds-barred domestic violence, Miki has a capacity for destruction usually found only in people with things like "the Impaler" added to their name. Yet, she also has a kind side to her and is often found going implausible distances out of her way to rescue both proverbial and literal lost kittens, though some malignant souls might misconstrue this as merely ditching her work...

Ninja Nonsense and Muteki Kanban Musume have a lot in common, except for their settings. The characters in both series are equally weird and can hardly be called characters due to what little background story we are told about them. The series focus more on slapstick humor.

If you are a sucker for crazy slapstick humor and are not too interested in actually seeing some character development, these series will be great.

cassiesheepgirl cassiesheepgirl says...

While it's alluded to in the title of Ninja Nonsense, if you like mental and nearly idiotic comedy then both of these series are for you. Both have random violence and have a definite over the top feeling about them. If you liked one, then definitely check out the other!

AnimeAllen AnimeAllen says...

Muteki Kanban Musume and Ninja Nonsense are both very alike in the ways of randomness and comedy. They both have two short episodes in one and both share the same mood and feel. Although, I would say that Ninja Nonsense is a bit more crazy and random than Muteki Kanban Musume!

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

It is the year 300X, and the Earth is in peril! Tsuru Tsururiina, the evil dictator of the Margarita Empire has sent his elite troops to Earth to snatch every last hair on the heads of the unsuspecting populace! But there is one man who will stand up against the malicious invasion and save everyone from the terrible horror of baldness: Boboboubo Boubobo! Using his secret art of nose hair combat, Boubobo will not rest until the Margarita forces are gone from Earth for good. But can he succeed without the help of the pink-haired girl Beauty, or the mysterious Pickle that follows him around?

XMrNiceguyX XMrNiceguyX says...

Both series feature alot of similar humor, though where in Shinobuden the mmjority of the jokes are mature jokes, Bobobo seems childish in that aspect. The main characters in Bobobo are male too as opposed to the two main female roles in Shinobuden. Plot and events are in both hardly there.

CecilHoshino CecilHoshino says...

Both Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Ninja Nonsense (2x2=Shinobu) use a style of humor that can be described as "off the wall," "out of left field," "just plain bizzare." Both are incredibly humorous in the use of these techniques. However, there are differences in the specific way humor is done.Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo tends to have more insanity in its humor but are generally accessible for all ages (old enough to understand what the hell is going on), while Ninja Nonsense tends to be more grounded (only in comparison, and as far as a ninja comedy with a transmorphing ball of perversion can be) than Bobobo, and uses more adult oriented lines of comedy (adult oriented as in perverted). Either way, both anime can be best enjoyed between teen years and early to mid adulthood.And, of course, both anime can be most enjoyed if you are somewhat savvy to Japanese culture on a whole.

Di Gi Charat

Di Gi Charat

One day, Dejiko, Puchiko and the strange ball-shaped Gema-Gema crash land their UFO in the middle of Akihabara. Without a single yen to their name they have nowhere to go, but following an unexpected and generous offer from the manager of a nearby store, the trio begin working at the shop in exchange for renting the room upstairs. Alongside Dejiko’s self-confessed rival Rabi-en-Rose, as well as a mysterious bear that has mastered the ability to appear happy, sad, depressed and angry all at once, the insanity is only just beginning! From shooting window shoppers with Dejiko’s Laser Eye Beam and the appearance of a bizarre farting impostor, to a sudden attack on the city by Godzilla, life at Gamers is certainly livening up.

Truly, there aren't many pairs that are so well suited as Di Gi Charat and 2x2 Shinobuden. Both are incredibly high octane and random comedies which possess the same ability to make you laugh out loud, all the time. I GUARANTEE if you liked one, you'd like the other.

freakzilla freakzilla says...

Character design of Shinobuden and Di Gi Charat is somewhat similar (watch the faces), the random humor is also very similar and both anime suggest a plot at times to make it completely rediculous afterwards.

Haré+Guu

Haré+Guu

Haré and his mother live peacefully in the jungle, until one day the boy is overtaken by a omnipotent shadow. Later, he awakens to find Guu, a strange girl with even stranger abilities - notably, the ability to switch from a cute, lovable Guu, to a menacing delinquent who eats everything. Now Haré must live with Guu, and lead a normal life, despite her oddities.

freakzilla freakzilla says...

The mood in Guu and Shinobuden can change in less than a second, it's not uncommon for the focus to move to something completely unrelated before you even know it. Shinobuden is a bit more hyper, but the randomness in these two is hard to be beaten.

AngryJellyfish AngryJellyfish says...

Both series involve a normal, sensible character who is dragged into crazy situations by another, completely wacky character. Although 'Hale Nochi Guu' occurs in a slightly weirder setting, and 'Shinobuden' is slightly faster-paced; the similarity in the humor of both series means that if you liked one you should like the other.

Pani Poni Dash!

Pani Poni Dash!

She’s smart, talented, and the newest teacher at Momotsuki Academy; but she’s also… 11 years old?! Named Becky Miyamoto, this pint-sized MIT prodigy wants nothing more than to be a respectable educator, but all her students do is treat her like an adorable child! With space aliens, a class full of stereotypes (and one girl who is normal!), and a quick temper standing in her way, Becky will try her best to shape the eager young minds of tomorrow before she hits puberty!

Ohforf Ohforf says...

The likeness between these two series isn't based on their story or content, but more on the level of crazyness in them. Having watched Ninja Nonsense and moved on to Paniponi, I get the same eyebrow raising "what's going on here?" feeling from both of them..

CorinthAthaime CorinthAthaime says...

Both series are hysterically funny and crudely perverse which makes them both laugh out loud. While one has to do with a hopeless ninja girl, Shinobu, under the care of her perverse yellow blob of a teacher, Onsokamaru, the other has to do with an 11-year old teacher trying to suceed ih showing a crazy class of unusually gifted students how the world is run.

Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san

Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san

XMrNiceguyX XMrNiceguyX says...

Two series with an major focus on comedy with shoujo-ai elements. There is a minor resemblance of story in Ninin ga Shinobuden, the main genre is on comedy with gags strongly aiming at the girl-on-girl humor.

In Ninin ga Shinobuden there arfe also some male characters which are completely and utterly absent from Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san.

The art direction in both shows is relatively colourful and relatively similar aside from the difference in age.

BJJShutIn BJJShutIn says...

They both have lesbian characters and very goofy humour and if you mention them to anime friends at school it would be highly likely that your friends didn't already see either of them.

Rave Master

Rave Master

Fifty years ago, the Demon Stone and RAVE (two powerful artifacts) are broken and scattered throughout the world. The story follows the journey of Haru Glory; during his travels he meets many new friends and allies, and also enemies known as the Daemon Card. He will have to use the powers given to him by RAVE to defeat the Daemon Card and find the other pieces of RAVE.

Similar humor in both, though besides that hardly any similarities. Rave actually has a plot, where shinobuden has none. The frequenty of the jokes is therefor alot lower in Rave than in Shinobuden. Rave also takes place in a fantasy world, while Shinobuden could be confused with a RL series.
