it's the similar comedy but with other gender.

reasons
Similar short episodic style, and wacky slice of life gags. However DKnN does not have a predominantly female cast (a predominantly male one rather), or rely on "moe" as an additional selling point.

Much better than Asobi Asobase imo. This one doesn't have all the screaming and gross jokes that that one has, and having an anime focus on highscool boys' daily lives for once instead of those of higschool girls, is refreshing. I very rarely actually laughed out loud watching this (though the scene with the book girl being a klutz over and over was a trip), as that unfortunately doesn't seem to come easily with me, but I definitely enjoyed this one. The format is similar to Lucky Star, another comedy anime that I like, where there are several shorter skits in each episode. Also, the amount of big name voice actors in this series is insane, even for many of the very minor characters.

This is an excellent and very funny anime of its genre(slice of life), but very often the humor sways from one side to another. As, for example, in the episode about a guy who could not find glasses(they were on his head, all of them helped in searching, and one of them noticed where they were and didn't say to another and kept thinking "to say or not to say" with such an expression on his face, as if it should be super funny, but no - it was stupid. Just tell him already). So I highly recommend this anime, but be prepared for the fact that among the strong humor with the use of pathos animations, there will be flat jokes that, that because of the same pathos, will look stupid. 7/10.

This piece of comedic genius manages to turn the silly and mundane (and sometimes lame) life of high school boys into the most hilarious, addictively gratifying set of short skits ever! I went to an all-boys school and can totally relate. From acting cool to impress girls, to hanging with the guys, to dealing with sisters, to "being a man and doing the right thing", this anime has it all. Epicness in its purest form!

Yes, that's exactly how I remember my daily high school life. It was hilarious at start, but you'll get quickly used to that kind of humour and often use of running gags. Worth watching regardless. There are some scenes you just can't miss.
