In both anime the main character changes to older girl by magic and becomes singer/actress/photo model/..
They are both girls who transform into an adult.
These two shows are very similar. Both are about a young girl pursuing her dream of becoming a singer and doing it by transforming her body into an older version. The main difference is that Fancy Lala is very lighthearted compaired to Full Moon. In Full Moon wo Sagashite the plot is much more complex and deals with fighting against death and other things, while Fancy Lala just talks about becoming a singer. I'm not saying that Full Moon is depressing... it's incredibly interesting and if you can survive the filler episodes you'll find an awesome anime. Fancy Lala is the typical "little girl's dream of becoming a singer", while Full Moon is inspiring... it's about never giving up on your dreams or your life.
Both series have similar concepts- they both involve a girl who makes herself older to become a singer. They both also have cute 'mascots' that cheer them on, and both involve the girl becoming a model(at some point.)
Of course, there's a lot of differences between the two, but I'm nearly 100% positive that anyone who likes Fancy Lala will also like Full Moon, or vice versa. :)
When you watch this series you'll notice a lot of similarities besides they are of the Mahou Shoujo genre, in fact I have the idea the author of Full Moon based his own series in Fancy Lala the differences may be in the lenght of series that has more episodes to be told in Full Moon allowing more in depth development, and in Fancy Lala the story isn't ominous like Full Moon wo Sagashite with Mitsuki.
Similarities are the protagonists thansform in a teenage version of themselves, they get their magic transformation from a pair of magical mascots, and both become famous and popular idols.

It's both about reaching out to your dreams/goals, though one is about singing and the other about ice dancing. Both involve death, but Full Moon Wo Sagashite develops a more serious tone in this aspect, which is quite logical considering that Ginban Kaleidoscope only covers 12 episodes, while full Moon Wo Sagashite has 52 episodes. Most important of all, both have great characters that won't give up!!
The atmosphere in these two great stories is very similar and so are the themes of love, death, pursuing your dreams and so on. The girls in both shows are trying to accomplish something big with the help of ghosts. You'll definitely love, laugh and cry with both shows.
Girl tries to achive dream of being figure skater, possesed by ghost, fall for eachother.
A romance between a human and a "once human"...Both heroines pursues her dreams with unexpected help from an unexpected entity. Of course, comedy is a given.
Both these anime's have really great drama with their unexpected turn of events and conflicts of the hearts.
The main characters both want to achieve a big goal that takes more then just words said alone to accomplish. Mitsuki, 14 year-old with a beautiful voice, wants to become a singer and Tazusa, skilled figure skater, wants to qualify in the olympics.
At the same time they both have a relationship with someone who isn't real (or once was). Mitsuki has her Shinigami and Tazusa has Pete Pumps. -These guys help out the main character by making sure they achieve their goal in life.

Both have idol and singing themes, both are really cute. ^^
Both revolve around singing.. and both have main characters that sing for the person they love (who is blonde in both shows!) and then yet there is a dark haired, angry "rival" who doesnt seem like a rival at first. Both shows have evil rivals (who have evil pets), and the list goes on. Overall, they're a fairly similar setup and if you enjoyed one, you may enjoy the other! However, Kirarin Revolution contains a lot more filler than Fullmoon.
The main character of each show is a young girl who dreams of becoming an idol. Both girls want to become an idol because of a boy, but along the way, their feelings change. Both also feature a lot of singing, as both Mitsuki and Kirari hold concerts, and the songs are generally fun j-pop songs. Also, both feature quite a bit of anime-original material to pad out the manga.
A young girl rises to be #1 idol. Music theme. A touch of humor. Similarity: 3*
similar because they both are a romance and there is singing in both of them

both about reaching your dreams. Kaleido star is nowhere near as poignant and its romance isn't developed nearly as far as full moon but you can honestly enjoy every episode unlike full moon in which it starts off really boring/light and gets really dark and interesting.
The story is alike, both shoujo and are sometimes funny and sometimes sad.. both drama's
They love to perform and a dream to become better. With help from spirits, they pass challenges. The main characters are optimistic so they befriend their rivals even though they show hostility. Full moon is more romantic but kaleido star can give you a good laugh and also at times it gives a slice of life feeling.

Supernatural shoujo drama comedy. Both have a story which is light and funny in the beginning, but still with a kinda dark feeling, and then takes a much deeper and dramatic turn. The series are both about a girl who's living a quite normal life until they meet with some strange people (who can turn into animals) and their whole lives abruptly changes. The art is quite alike too, very cute.
Tohru reminds me of Mitsuki in many ways. They don't have any parents but are still really happy persons who thinks that life is great, and they're both trying to enjoy it to the fullest. They are both extremely kind (maybe a bit too kind for their own best) and both have keep a great secret, Tohru about the Sohma curse and Mitsuki about her secret life as a singer. They even pretty much look alike.
Kyo and Takuto are very alike too. Both are trying to be a cool and tough guy, but in the reality they are really sensitive and caring. They both care very much for the main character and are completely in love with her, although they're trying to deny it. And both can turn into a cat. xD
Both series also give away the same, wonderful feeling that makes you scream for more.
They both share the similiar, positive attitude towards life. Their main heros are very kind and cheerful characters.
I think that Mitsuki and Tohru look en think like the same way. Just like Takuto and Kyo.

these series have a girl who changes magically for the sake of the boy she is in love with. but in contrast to other similar anime revolving around this theme Tutu & Fullmoon have really wonderful stories & unforgetable characters. at the beginning there is comedy and romance, later drama. plus the music is a focus point (Fullmoon=singing; Tutu=dancing to classic). in short: watch 'em both.
Both shows are about music with a main girl who changes for the boy she likes.(magical transformation) But, they are not just another magical girl story. In Full Moon, Mitsuki changes into a 16 year old version of herself with a healthy voice so that she can sing in order to meet the boy she loves, in Princess Tutu, Ahiru changes into Tutu in order to help her love, to get his heart back. Both have beautiful stories with great depth in both. They involve a lot of music, singing in full moon and dancing ballet in Tutu.
Although Tutu may seem like it's all about ballet or a typical magical girl show, this is completly wrong. Give both a chance and you'll love it.
Both are cute animes :]
Female characters that have talent, as to where one is a beautiful singer and the other is a dancer. Both characters are fighting for something that they believe is the right thing to do/ or what makes them happy. And they never give up!!

Full moon is gentler/sweeter than Skip Beat, but both are really great stories! If you like show-biz anime with humor and romance, watch these two!
I loved both animes very much, and they have some similar themes. Both girls want to become famous so that they can reach out to someone they love/loved. In Skip Beat, Kyoko (the main female character) wants to get famous so that she can get revenge on the guy she formally loved. Still, both Full Moon wo Sagishite and Skip Beat have very interesting, different storylines from the typical shoujo. Even the characters are very unique and spunky.

In both the main characters are teenage girls who work hard in order to make their dreams come true. In "Glass Mask" Maya wants to be an actress and in "Full Moon" Mitsuki wants to be a singer. Both are Shoujo and also contain romance (of course)
Starting off light and becoming more serious later, these two are really good stories about pursuing show biz and your dreams. They both have sweet romance, talented female leads, some humour and great stories . . . watch these two!

Both have a story set around some kind of magic, and the art styles are similar. Although Fullmoon has a theme of shinigami and Ultra Maniac has a theme about witches, both have some magical mishaps and funny moments.
|
|
|
Both romances that part of the story revolves around music, although Full Moon is much more shoujo.
|
|
|
Both lead characters are TV idols which have love problems. Full Moon wo Sagashite takes a more conservative and serious tone, while Kodomo no Omocha OVA is more comical and less deep. Both are tear jerkers at times, and it is easy to get attatched to the characters.
|
|
|
Both girls like to sing and have as best friends stuffed animals. Both animes have romance and a bit of magic, fantasy genre.
|
|
|
Both of the main characters are ill and don't have much time left to live. But they both have some one special by their side. A special person that they can talk to who's also helping them out -making sure that they're happy :]
|

Both of these anime's have a sad background story. The female characters seem to struggle a bit. It's got the same atmosphere though. There's the cute/happy moments, and then times when you feel that you need a tissue :3

Well, TTGL has nothing with the story, style, shoujo, song or something with Full Moon...
But i TOTALLY recomend you to watch it, cause both of them show the real importance of a goal/dream!
The two ones are a lesson for all your life, watch it...

Both love stories, both are about young girls who want an older boy to notice them.
|
|

Ayashi has a much darker story than Full Moon, but both provide a bitter-sweet experience, a beautiful love story and some supernatural stuff to boot. Plus, both are just great animes!
|
|

Magical Girl genre. And it is from Arina-sensei. . .
|
|
|
both start off light/fluffy and get darker and serious, you know gets really good.
|
|
|
both shows are aimed at kids but can be enjoyed by older audiences too, good characters, and both start off light and fluffy for the most part.
|
|
|
A cute, dramatical shojou-ai for all! All about the little guy (or in this case, girl), trying to reach the top.

For the music fans out there, 'Full Moon wo Sagashite' and 'La Corda d'Oro' are for you. The characters are both talented and inspiring, and the music is beautiful. If you have ever dropped an insturment or choir, after watching a few episodes, you'll pick music up right away.

The atmosphere in FMwoS is very similar to Gakuen Alice, both have sweet and serious undertones and you will fall in love with the main characters, for sure!!!

It focuses on music... and I think Luchia and Mitsuki looks similar... Mermaid Melody's story has a light atmosphere, but Full Moon has a sad atmosphere... But I recommend this to those who like Music ^^

Despite a lot of differences such as VoaDS being a short movie whereas FMwS is a extremely long TV series. Or the dramatic difference in animation quality, VoaDS is noticeably better looking than FMwS. Not to mention the fact that some might view FMwS to target a different audience, they may say FMwS is childish whereas VoaDS is more mature.
It is my humble opinion that a lot of people who liked VoaDS would also like FMwS if they give FMwS a decent try. Note: I myself got turned off FMwS after watching the first ep. However once I got pass the first ep FMwS became one of my favourite anime.

The story nearly totally different but both of the series based on music and dreams. So Oosaki Nana and Mitsuki's goal is the same to be a singer, but they doing it in different way and style. Nana is for adults rather, in my opinion, especially for females.

Although different, both stories explore the idea of pursuing your own dreams within the arts. Both have a very cute story, light humor and romance.
