COMMENTS FOR WONDER EGG PRIORITY
Wonder Egg Priority is a gorgeous show that treads a lot of the same ground as Flip Flappers. Think the good parts of FF but cranked to 11. They both take place in either a surreal dreamscape fighting monsters, or in the real world in a slice-of-life setting. If you didn't like how the ending of FF was handled, WEP seems to be heading in a better direction. WEP is preserving its big mysteries well, and I appreciate it.

COMMENTS FOR PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA
I truly wish Flip Flappers were more popular so it would get recommended to Madoka Magica fans more often. While Flip Flappers might not have the same level of dark themes it uses many serious and realistic themes and focuses a lot on emotions and the general human psyche and it does so beautifully. They are both new age magical girl anime and don’t shy away from harsh reality while still maintaining a fantastical aesthetic. While Flip Flappers isn’t always everyone’s cup of tea because of its heavy use of metaphors and leaving aspects “up to the audience” I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’d encourage any Madoka Magica fans to give it a try. <3

COMMENTS FOR KYOUSOUGIGA
Both shows have a lot of whimsical and colorful elements, especially in the designs of worlds, but have more serious notes especially towards the climax. The plots of both are also paced similarly with a plot that comes together to make sense more at the end. The conflict in the plot involves family as a key part in both of them.

COMMENTS FOR HUMANITY HAS DECLINED
Flip Flappers and Junrui share a common setting being placed in the future/alternate reality of current society. Each shows gives you a whimsical almost Alice in Wonderland feeling, they share similar main characters that are equally quirky and colorful. The story telling is also very similar and comical in each show and the setting is very immersive and draws you in asking more questions than seem to get answered.
COMMENTS FOR FLCL
The amount of similarities both of these anime share is almost unbelievable. Both FLCL (Tsurumaki, Kazuya) and Flip Flappers (Oshiyama, Kiyotaka) are personal passion projects that had most, if not all, creative decisions as far as the story and direction goes done by their respective directors. Both anime are original works build from the ground up, and in both cases the director of the shows had incredible creative freedom to implement anything that they found interesting into their series.
Aside from staff background similarities, these two anime have a lot of things in common to their story. Both FLCL and Flip Flappers are simple narratives told in a very complex way. Both explore themes in similarly bizarre ways (FLCL tackles social themes like puberty, self-growth, adulthood, and coming of age experience; while Flip Flappers focuses mostly on sexuality and friendship, though both of these themes by nature will have things to say on puberty and self-growth as well), to the extent that some people may just dismiss such bizzare natures as an incoherent series of events with no real meaning (they do have a meaning). Also, both are intentionally vague to spark speculation and discussion among their fans. Speaking of their fans, both anime have a very loyal cult following that satisfy specific niches and such followings like to dissect every element carefully left to interpretation. They both have the symbolisms and depth for such dissection to be possible, which is an incredible merit.
If you are reading this then you most likely have seen at least one of these shows (higher chances are that the one you have seen is FLCL as it is the most popular one). If you really liked it and can't find anything similar to it, give the other one a shot and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything from the symbolisms, the countless references to pop culture and history, and the bizarre action packed animation can be found in its counterpart. I can safely say both are one hell of a ride.

COMMENTS FOR LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA (TV)
We follow the daily lives of teenage girls who live (Little Witch Academia) or travel (Flip Flappers) in fantasy/imaginary worlds.
In addition the action predominates the series with the use of superpowers or magic.
Also very similar animation and fluid in the action times especially.

COMMENTS FOR OTHERSIDE PICNIC
Both involve two girls "stranded" in a strange world(s). However, the two have a different aesthetic of strangeness. Flip Flappers has a saturatedly distortive and hallucinatory tone while Urasekai Picnic is doomeresque.
COMMENTS FOR URAHARA
Similar art style.
Very "artsy" shows with a bit of a mahou shoujo flair.
Bright, colorful creatures and characters.
Unique, one of a kind storylines, for better or for worse.
If you like one, try out the other.

COMMENTS FOR PENGUINDRUM
Both shows are weird and hard to understand at times. Both of them sport some pretty fantastic symbolism, especially near the end.

COMMENTS FOR ALICE & ZOROKU
They both have fantasy (Alice in wonderland inspired) world's in which the main character 'controls'. Both have an animation style (although different) that is respectful of said fantasy world. Whilst Alice to Zouroku is slightly more SoL oriented than Flip Flappers (which I think is more adventure oriented), If you like one you will definitely enjoy the other.

COMMENTS FOR KILL LA KILL
They both have:
-2 great main characters with wacky personalities
- A really fun animation style
- A mix of being confused and baffled through most episodes
- A pretty cool plot that doesn't make actual sense but is still pretty awesome
- Awesome fight scenes with similar animation
These two anime have a really similar feel and are both really fun to watch. If you like one I am sure the other you will enjoy a lot!

COMMENTS FOR FATE/KALEID LINER PRISMA ILLYA
Little girls risking their lives fighting in Alternate Realities while being monitored by some mysterious organization.
Both anime seem to fall into the Action, Fantasy, and Magic genres. Have a 'normal girl' MC who is forcibly thrown into an alternate dimension/reality. Another MC girl who is already adapted to the situation. And a secret organization trying to get them to accomplish some goal. The two MC quickly form a strong bond and their are slight hints of Yuri. In a time of crisis, the 'normal girl' MC may awaken hidden powers.
The focus seems to be on the bond between the two MC and the unique and secret alternate reality which they share. There also seems to be a focus on the relatively unchanged daily lives of the MC, but it's too early to tell for Flip Flap.

COMMENTS FOR SPACE PATROL LULUCO
Colorful and bold designs, zany and fast-paced action, adventures in bizarre worlds. Luluco and Cocona get dragged into strange adventures which, although they are unwilling at first, they both come to enjoy. Flip Flappers and Space Patrol Luluco are wild rides bursting with energy, making both a joy to watch.

COMMENTS FOR LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA
Litte Witch Academia and Flip Flappers are similar because they are both very great original and imaginative anime that follow young girls as they learn more about themselves and overcome trials. There are supernatural events in both of them that are partially responsible for the growing friendship of the main characters. They also both have beautifully distinct and simplistic color schemes that you won't see in other anime. Both are relatively light-hearted and can be watched by a wide variety of viewers.

COMMENTS FOR GUNBUSTER 2
Diebuster and Flip Flappers are both fun, over-the-top sci-fi series with a focus on the relationship between the two female main characters, one being energetic and the other being more reserved. There's more than meets the eye to the worlds and characters than one might think.

COMMENTS FOR YURIKUMA ARASHI
Both shows are highly symbolic, and show how the characters "see" the world around them in a very specific way. Both deal with trauma, family problems and same sex attraction and love.
Flip Flappers are more light hearted and focus more on adolescence of the main character, while Yuri Kuma Arashi is more dark and focuses more about how society sees and deals with gay people.
COMMENTS FOR KAIBA
Both series feature bizarre alternative worlds on a regular basis. Their styles are also both classic, in very different ways. Kaiba feels like a 40s cartoon, whereas Flip Flappers has a 90s meets Trigger feel.

COMMENTS FOR GIRLS' LAST TOUR
Flip Flappers and Shoujo Shuumtasu Ryoukou share a similar feeling when you're watching each show. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryouko is set in a post-apocalypic setting, where Flip Flappers is set in many settings of different realms. Both shows are very sci-fi and share the element of curiosity and adventure. The setting makes the viewer want to know more about the enviornment and what might happen next as each show gives off an almost uncomfortable vibe. If you've seen one I would recommend the other for a similar vibe and interesting landscaping and design.

COMMENTS FOR TOILET-BOUND HANAKO-KUN

COMMENTS FOR NAUSICAä OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND
What struck me quite early on when it comes to Flip Flappers was the underlying eerie feeling whenever the main characters would go on their seemingly happy exploration adventures. It was an eerie feeling I had felt before; while watching the exploration adventures of Nausicaä. I... it's hard to put words on it, but, at least to me, Flip Flappers and Nausicaä give you the same kind of eerie futuristic feeling, a feeling of the main characters bringing a shred of light to the otherwise contaminated and dark world? Although Flip Flappers might take a different turn as the series progress, I'd still really recommend this to anyone who likes Nausicaä!

COMMENTS FOR SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN
Both are beautiful, stunningly directed, multi-layered shows that are fun as heck to dig into and theorize about. Complex storytelling and symbolism is present in both series, and both require lots of brain power and deduction to enjoy to their full potential. Flip Flappers incorporates a fair amount of fanservice, so unsuspecting Lain fans should be aware of that if it bothers them.

COMMENTS FOR REVOLUTIONARY GIRL UTENA
Both shows feature a blurred line between reality and illusion and focus on the growing relationship between the two main characters. The varied color pallettes have a similar feel.
