COMMENTS FOR THE DEVIL IS A PART-TIMER!
While both are rather different content-wise -- Kobayashi is CGDCT where as Maou-Sama is mostly a comedy slice of life with some action and drama mixed in, both are what I like to call "reverse isekai," wherein people from a fantasy world enter our world rather than the other way around.
The thing mostly in common between the two is in that sense, and in that there tends to be a lot of humor derived from the difference in common sense between the two worlds and the characters from the fantasy world adjusting/reacting to life on Earth.
If you've watched Maou-Sama and liked that type of humor and would like more of it, Kobayashi is a good watch if you don't mind CGDCT, and if you liked Kobayashi's humor and perhaps want something a little more serious/not cutesy then Maou-Sama, likewise.

COMMENTS FOR INTERVIEWS WITH MONSTER GIRLS
Tetsuo and Kobayashi lead ordinary lives until their chance encounter with supernatural beings thrust them into exciting situations filled with many laughter, adorable moments, and heartwarming scenes. While Demi-chan focuses on Tetsuo and his desire to learn more about the monster girls, Dragon Maid chronicles the life of the dragons as they attempt to understand Kobayashi and humanity itself. Although Demi-chan and Dragon Maid are lighthearted series, their powerful message about society leave something to think about.
COMMENTS FOR BLEND-S
The mood and ambient that Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon gives is really similar to Blend S, a funny and cheering mood that brights up your day. We also can see the fact that Blend S and Kobaysahi-san Chi no Maid Dragon have the "waitress/maid" formula to join in the equation, that makes even better.

COMMENTS FOR NICHIJOU - MY ORDINARY LIFE
Nichijou and Kobayashi are both shows that give you a similar vibe in comedy. Nichijou is comedy focused where Kobayashi has some fantasy and more serious moments as well. Both shows are lighthearted and give you the same feeling and are animated by Kyoto Animation. If you have seen one or the other I would highly recommend the other to you. You'll be in for a very comedic and character driven story.

COMMENTS FOR NEW GAME!
It was going to be just another day at the office, but then *she* turned up.
Sure, while in the case of 'New Game!' it was a new employee, and in 'Kobayashi-san' a giant, enamoured dragon; either will entertain a slice-of-life fan as they enjoy a comedy soup with just a dash of drama. If you like mostly female casts, get ready to gradually explore them, their histories and their motivations one by one as you watch lesbian romances disguised as friendships blossom.

COMMENTS FOR DROPKICK ON MY DEVIL!
Although not very similar aside from the "comedic sketches" format, Jashin-chan feels like a parody of Tohru being a serpent whose tail keeps getting cut up and served for food (although Kobayashi refuses to eat from it). They're also both about a human living with a supernatural creature.

COMMENTS FOR MAHOROMATIC: AUTOMATIC MAIDEN
Both shows feature main characters with really mundane lives, but soon enough they happen to find themselves in a situation where they have to live with some kind of supernatural non-human creature who wants to be their maid!
Both Mahoromatic and Kobayashi feature some sort of sex appeal. But while Kobayashi is generally more cutesy in classic KyoAni fashion; Mahoromatic is a bit more "explicit" to say the least (it has full on nudity in some scenes!) That's not to say that Kobayashi doesn't also have its fair share of sexy characters, but it's way more PG.
Kobayashi felt very inspired by Mahoromatic. If you like one of them, I'm sure you would like the other!

COMMENTS FOR FLYING WITCH

Fell in love with Maid Dragon slice of life, funny situations and really cute, adorable, amazing and unique characters? Then I'll show you another show really similar: Oshiete Galko-chan! Although at first it may not seem like they're alike at all, they both have the same humorous yet heartwarming vibe, present friendships really well and all stuff of the sorts. You won't regret it.

COMMENTS FOR NYARUKO: CRAWLING WITH LOVE!
Both shows have a main girl who decides to crash at a random stranger's house and forces them to take her in so she can grow romantically close to said stranger. A majority of the main cast are otherwordly beings( dragons and aliens ). They also feature many openly LGBT characters (but don't cross over into full yuri/yaoi territory),

COMMENTS FOR I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT MY HUSBAND IS SAYING
When I first started watching Kobayashi-san in early winter 2017, I couldn't shake how I was reminded of I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying. Sure, the art style is pretty recognisable as Cool Kyou Shinja's, but the two are very similar tonally as well.
The two shows are primarily comedy focused. While the comedy may not be bust-a-gut hilarious, it is very comfortable. Both shows feature a series of recurring jokes that your mileage may vary on, but personally, they never failed to illicit a smile. I'd compare the the comedy style of these shows, and especially the recurring jokes, to a good cup of coffee in the morning. Sure, it's nothing you haven't had many times before, but sometimes it's exactly what you need.
"Exactly what you need" was unexpectedly a great segue to what I feel Cool Kyou Shinja's strength is as an author. Both of these works fantastically capture the elation that comes with finding the perfect person. You can go to work day in and day out forever, but once you can come home every day to that perfect, goofy person, life feels a lot better. Kobayashi has this in Tohru, and Kaoru in Hajime. The other's antics may drive the other crazy, but it's always with a smile. I think the ending theme of I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying explains it perfectly:
"I always walked alone before, wandering along with the flow. When I tried to make a smile, it'd always be stiff, Reeling in the holes in my heart. I Feared being lonely, Wondering if I'd live alone forever… Now There's nothing to be afraid of!"
I guess this ended up more of a love letter to Cool-kun and these two works, but I guess this is okay. If you liked either show for its comedic style or its romance, you'll find the other show similar.

COMMENTS FOR KONOHANA KITAN
Both are anime that feature a human and a different species (demon, dragon) coexisting in the same house and becoming each other's family. Be it Princess Suya in the demon castle or Tohru's presence in Kobayashi's residence, both these girls change the way of the household completely, making the ordinary daily life different and way more fun than it was before.
Those two series also have a very similar feeling: Overall they seem to be about the pure comedy of the day by day life of the characters, but the undertones of it carry some layers of drama that will make you emotional when you least expect it. They're heartwarming and cute shows, and if you liked one, you will probably like the other.

Both of them have extremely nonsensical plot with crazy characters with special abilities that ruin another characters life attempt to live peacefully. They both have a great theme of family and togetherness, and share a similar style of humor and storytelling.

COMMENTS FOR SQUID GIRL
Cute girls with superpowers find themselves doing cute things around town with puny humans. Ika certainly acts like she's a civilization destroying dragon but doesn't show off as much power and everyone just accepts she has a weird head thing while Dragon Maid each new character has superpowers and is hiding. Both are great comedies and have a touching moment here or there.

COMMENTS FOR YURUYURI: HAPPY GO LILY
The main characters Tooru and Kyouko have a really similar... aura? ^^' Like, their crazy straightforward personalities, and their silly over-the-top actions, and the poses they make, and the way they talk, right down to their overflowing love for one of the other female characters, and the way they express it. It was killing me while I was trying to figure out who Tooru reminded me of, until I finally remembered Kyouko and everything clicked into place.
Both of the shows are also really enjoyable slice-of-life/comedy animes that make the most of their really interesting and diverse groups of characters, and are very shoujo ai. Good shows, watch 'em both.
