25 [Similar Anime] Like Hinamatsuri

Hinamatsuri and Mob Psycho have a similar setup to one another, with both of them starring an Esper child and a "parent" figure. Both shows are comedy-focused, but Mob Psycho's comedy is more in your face compared to Hinamatsuri, but they both have similar skits at times. Both main Psychic children are bad at expressing emotions, and both "parent" figures have similar interactions with the world around them. The plotline of the shows is similar, in which things happen without a proper "goal". The side characters in both shows are really well setup when skits revolve them, but the main duo is where the comedy mostly comes from. But at the end of the day, both shows will have you laughing!

Both shows work wonders with expressive characters and strong visual comedy. They also share a core theme that humans (and dragons/alien psychic girls) need companionship. Both employ this theme excellently to elicit a genuine emotional response from the viewer. If you're looking for that element of the supernatural, but in the setting of a lighthearted and relaxing episodic series with a varied and likable cast, both have it in spades!

Hinamatsuri is like a spiritual successor to Gintama, these shows have a very similar tone and style of humour. Both feature characters from the underworld with a heart of gold. Both are about forming unorthodox family units from friends, colleagues acquaintances.

The obvious comparison between these shows is the main characters... Both psychics with similar personalities (bar their intelligence) being forced into similar wacky situations.

Laughed, smiled, cried on this two anime.
Both anime has the feeling of being a parent. Though Usagi Drop is more serious than Hinamatsuri which is more comedy themed.

Almost identical.
Young girl with supernatural powers is on runaway and finds custody in (much) older male MC.

Both anime are comedies that involve a character entering the strange and bizarre world of another. The main heroine also have the same blunt personality where they seem to take everything literally and don't have the basic understanding of how one should act within normal society. Arakawa differs as an highly narcissistic guy enters the bizarre world of a variety of quirky characters. While Hinamatsuri involves an strange girl with psychic powers entering the life of a member of the Yakuza. If you enjoyed one you its sense of humour you will likely enjoy the other as well.

A mixture of dark psychological themes and lighthearted comedy in a way that doesn't feel jarring while at the same time getting across a feel-good, positive message. Hina focuses on the father/daughter dynamic and Mob focuses on siblings, but both heavily involve family. Both are extremely well animated and both involve Espers.

Both have themes about innocent young girls befriending badass gangsters
Both have pretty authentic portrayals of Bosozoku gangs, bikes and dress (not as the shows' focus... bbut that shit's still cooler than hell)

Funny as hell. Slice of life instead of action. Adorable and funny characters.

Both shows deal with the concept of family and learning to love and care for others. While Hinamatsuri doesn't have a cute cat protagonist it really doesn't need one. It surly makes up for the lack of cuteness giving the viewer much more laughs than i personally got from My Roommate is a Cat.

In both Hinamatsuri and Somali to Mori no Kamisama there is a young female character who finds an older male protagonist character and they start to live along. In Hinamatsuri their relationship starts to build slowly and is a bit grumpy at the start. Otherwise in Somali to Mori no Kamisama their relationship starts kindly and seems to be strong even tho the main protagonist has struggles with understanding feelings.

While the settings are quite different, I can't help noticing the similarity in the deadpan humor and comedic timing between Nichijou and Hinamatsuri. The animation also feels similar in the way extreme facial expressions are used to highlight the jokes. Both shows deliver a lot of laugh out loud moments that are not too common these days.

If you like the comedy portions in hinamatsuri then you'll like a lot of asobi asobase as a whole

Both shows have delinquents as main characters, and they both turn into parental figures. Also, both have a titular hero/heroine who provides supernatural powers to the main character. Beelzebub's one of my favorite shows, and Hinamatsuri provides a similar vibe.

Both explore heartwarming relationships between adults and children. Has a similar style of comedy.

While Dandelion doesn't have the same high-level production values as Hinamatsuri, it is also basically a slice-of-life comedy about children with super powers, so I think people that enjoy one are likely to enjoy the other.

they are both hilarious, adorable, and so wholesome you'll want to cry.

Father-daughter relationship. Hinamatsuri and Kakushigoto both follow a relationship between a father figure and a daughter.

kay, so hear me out. These two plots are COMPLETELY different when you hear about them: Kyousougiga is a story about a strange family of gods and revolves around a man who was able to make his paintings come to life while Hinamatsuri is about a telepath who lands in a yakuza man's house and inadvertently becomes a sort of daughter to him.

-Both the MCs were forced to fight enemies as a child
-Moved to a life where they aren't forced to kill anyone
-Has someone that looks after them

Great comedy, there is a lot of good laughs in this one.

Both of them have extremely absurd comedic situations, but Hinamatsuri does this on purpose and tends to be more comedic, while Mayoiga does this by accident. Either way, situations crop up that are strange, wacky, and absurd, that'll keep you laughing, either on purpose or by accident.

Living with an inhuman. Hinamatsuri and The Helpful Fox Senko-san give the same start of a working man suddenly finding a random inhuman being appearing in their homes.

The common denominator of „Hinamatsuri” and „Figure 17” is a „powerful lolis from outer space who need to acclimatize on Earth” anime trope. Both of these shows also contain a well known theme of superpowers whose use help and damage the lives of our main characters at the same time. Despite almost 17 years of age disparity between the two anime, they’re equally heart-warming, funny and entertaining in general.
