Sabagebu! Survival Game Club - Recommendations

FireWalker says...

Both Stella C3 and Sabagebu focus on a girls' highschool club for survival game enthusiasts who battle with airsoft and BB guns. Both have an appealing core cast and plenty of opportunities for comedy. Stella gradually shifts to more interpersonal drama, while Sabagebu! appears committed to over-the-top hilarity, and could be intended as a straight-up parody of Stella. If you like the setting for one, give the other a try.

Madoka says...

The shows are both basically the exact same thing. Basic school life/clubs based around survival games usually played with air soft guns whilst someone somewhat not so willing or uncertain if they wish to be in the club as a main focus.

Really though i said it already, they are seriously the same, just different names on characters and art style, so it's safe to assume if you can stand one and somehow enjoy it, you will somehow enjoy the other. 

Hanzoadam says...

Both animes are about survival game clubs, both playing with BB guns, Both have comedic values though Sabagebu! is a lot more comedic

SugarTitSenpai says...

Although the series are both about Airsoft, the difference in the two are huge.

Sabagebu is a VERY easy going anime, filled with Comedy and is based on the girls imagination in the club than it is the Airsoft.

Stella is a very Serious approach, and is all about the airsoft than the comedy and imagination acts.

Although Stella is a serious, it does have its comedy moments and a bonus fan service episode, where as sabagebu is pretty Laid back is purely comedy.

The change of pace and seriousness in the anime's make them both interesting - IF you are after something more serious i suggest Stella, but Sabagebu is still a nice fast paced comedy that is still on the same subject as Stella just not as serious.

FinLin says...

Okay so you've got airsoft and cute girls and cute girls doing airsoft. I'd say Sabagebu! has more comedy in it, but they're both pretty similar.

ran88 says...

Both are about high school girls playing survival games. In both shows, the characters get really into the game and it is extremely fun to watch.

D-Frag! and Sabagebu! feature an unwilling student who is forced into joining a crazy club. They have the same kind of slapstick humor with a whacky cast, silly yet epic fights over the most trivial of matters. They are so alike that are bound to appeal to the same audience.

ZetsubouKaiji says...

D-Frag and Sabagebu are both shows about zany school clubs that end up causing all sorts of trouble for those around them. Both shows feature a lead character that was forced to join the club, but finds themselves enjoying it more than they would admit. 

Beyond having similiar setups these are both gag comedies with a ton of references and parodies. Neither show takes itself seriously, but instead mocks all the common cliches they can find. 

If you're looking to laugh and don't need a plot to enjoy your anime then D-Frag and Sabagebu are the anime for you.

AardvarkRex says...

Both series follow members of a school club partaking in some crazy games as part of their activities. Similar zany comedy and ridiculous/absurd situations that the chars get constantly embroiled in.

bunnyblush says...

it has this ''survival games'' feel/theme just like

Aoharu x Kikanjuu + its a very funny anime with lovely characters

marsonearth says...

I love this series and I definitely recommend this to people who want to watch something incredibly intense and dramatic in Survival Games. I love the characters, the story line and the cool action scenes. 

NixKaen says...

The biggest resemblance between these two animes is the fact that they both focus on Survival Games. They both also have a lot of comedic content and an otaku reference character. Sabagebu is far more light-hearted and made just for jokes and sarcasm though, while Aoharu has more of a storyline about friendship and trials and could almost be a RomCom--but very light with the romance.

Qem says...

This one is a little bit of an unusual recommendation - and I don't think it will quite well for everyone as the settings are very different apart from both being based in a school (Sabagebu! is set in a girls school and Cromartie is set in a boys school) very different - but they both invoke very similar types of humour in their series.

However both shows are full of entertaining characters, and violent insanity when they disagree (although Sabagebu claims that it's in the girls minds, where as Cromartie). They also have a lot of self aware /self referencing humour (making references to the original manga for example), as well as a lot of over the top slapstick antics. They're both very fun comedic series to watch, and I think if you enjoy the humour of one series, there's a good chance you could enjoy it in the other.

ZetsubouKaiji says...

If you like gag comedies that are full of references to both anime and popular culture then Sabagebu and Cromartie are just the shows you are looking for. These are both hilarious gag comedies that care nothing for plot but instead use their zany characters to get into all kinds of funny situations. 

These shows have completely different casts with Cromartie being about a group of high school boys and a Wakamotobot, and Sabagebu being about a group of cute girls. Don't let the cute girls fool you though, they can get in just as many off the wall situations as a group of high school toughs.

Did I mention that Cromartie has a robot voiced by Norio Wakamoto because it does and it is awesome. 

If you're in the mood for some straight up comedy with little to no real plot then these are the shows for you. 

AndriasSch says...

In an all-girls high school, the main characters form a club related to games and there are lots of shenanigans and random circumstances occurring that make the viewer doubt how much is real and how much is happening in the character's disturbed minds.

AardvarkRex says...

Both are slapstick comedies with an all-female cast who act in a very "unladylike" manner. Lots of hilarious senseless violence in both.

AardvarkRex says...

Both center around female protags getting themselves roped into a bunch of absurd predicaments while playing pretend games. Similar wacky and "violent" humor / characters.

JONDAMAN says...

both are about nutty teenage girls playing zany games and getting in trouble along the way. similarly stupid in a funny way.

8MangaMan says...

Both series are comedies revolving around a group of 5 girls who do random things.  Sabagebu! have all the girls in a survival games club, A.K.A. air soft. The girls from Love Lab are in the student council of their school.  Many of the jokes take place in their enviroment, with Love Lab occasionaly abusing the power of student council and Sabagebu! usually involving guns in it's humor.  

While Sabagebu! has a lot of crude humor and tends to reuse some jokes, Love Lab doesn't dulge too deep into that path.  There's more humor that relies on the relationships between the characters which makes it fell like a stronger comedy.  Both shows however do make each episode fun to watch and usually gives you a stupid looking smile on your face while watching.

If you enjoy one, the other will have you laughing as well.

Stoi84 says...

Both shows are totally random, the characters are crazy, the episodes cut in short stories and they are absolutely politically incorrect. 2x2 = Shinobuden is about pervert ninjas while Sabagebu! is about schoolgirls with guns, this is the main difference. There really is no story, but you don't look this kind of show for this. You watch it because it's fun, and they both are good at this. If you laughed while watching one, you'll laugh with the other too, definitely.

VampGirl says...

They have in comon:

-Guns

- Survival game

Diffrences:

Sabagebu is more random with no plot but still fun to watch!!!, while sword art online has a plot and is pretty interesting.

Rick18 says...

both anime have one of the main characters thats is into girls but the rest of the main characters are not. the only difference is, in sabagebu one of the main characters is very persistent in trying to get with another main character, but the love is unrequitted, which that is part of the comedy. Sabagebu is just as funny as Maria holic if not more and definitely recommend if your looking for some funny to watch
