Winged bishies and apocalyptic theme
fight against destiny and the end of the world
Both Angel Sanctuary and X are dealing with earth's issue. The story shows a man who's against his own destiny and spends time fighting it. The two characters seem to be egoist at first but make real sacrifices for others.

Many of the characters in these two anime seem similar...the indifferent main character...the fact that both the main characters were born with a great power in them that would help change the world etc...both series have beautiful art work though X is a lot darker of a story then Nabari.
The main characters (Kamui/Miharu) are both 14-15 yo guys who are initially indifferent and antisocial, have a trauma in their childhood, and have a great power inside them.
The art style is also somehow similar (beautiful but skinny), and you’ll find quite a lot of bishounen in both anime. There are several other little similarities, too.
X is way darker and sadder, but both are far from being happy-go-lucky anime.

Both deal with apocaliptic themes and have tragic stories.

Fantastic anime,only a bit completion hopeless
|
|
|
Both revolve around Tokyo with dual realities.
Both have a clear protagonist and antagonist with the antoganist turning to the dark side through choice.
Both have a single female "catalyst" Yurine in Karas and Kotori in X.

The similarities are in the plot/SL, You can see that the two anime/Manga both revolve around the needed 7 warriors.... Just with two different reasons of being... One's to save the world and the other to save only a portion of land from being taken over by the opposite country..

Similar style and characters. and double yay for having an awesome storyline! (:
|
|
|
In both you'll see swords coming out from people's bodies.
Both anime are about apocalypse (even though in Utena is a metaphor, and in X is literal), revolution, and the world. Both also are psychological and have sword fights.

Its kinda the same but with a less quantity of characters and a history more basic.

These anime have many similarities.
In both the character design is good, but the animation quality goes up and down.
Both have some genres in common, such as action, drama, tragedy, and some comedy to lighten up the mood, and themes in common, such as granting wishes, fighting with ex-friends, protecting the loved ones, and world destruction.
Both can be quite psychological, even though Get Backers has more shounen elements and is less serious than X.
Both are about people who have supernatural powers (such as controlling electricity, just to name one).
Both have an ensemble cast of characters, and many bishounen.
In both there are 2 opposite factions that fight against each other.
But above all, some characters are very similar, and many, if not all of them have a tragic past and/or are orphans (reason why grandparents are quite important in these series): there’s the innocent, quiet schoolgirl (Kotori/Natsumi), the cheerful guy (Sorata/Ginji), the computer freak (Satsuki/Makubex), the killer in a business suit (Seishiro/Akabane), the busty beauty (Karen & Kanoe/Heaven), the man who is telepathically connected to animals (Kusanagi/Shido), the blind girl (Hinoto/Madoka), the calm, blonde, and seemingly careless man (Yuto/Kagami), the absolutely amazingly gorgeous guy (Subaru/Kazuki), etc.
While the X anime is notably inferior to the manga, I think the Get Backers anime is better than the manga.

X-TV has got something in common with escaflowne which is the the dragon of heaven are aiming for the change and the renaissance of the earth in X-TV series and the zaibacher wishing for another destiny for the earth from escaflowne series.

It's an extra episode about Kakyou & shows some things that only happened in the manga.
|

In both anime the male protagonist has a traumatic past (related to the violent death of one or more family members), and also has a childhood friend who's in love with him. You'll also find a dog owned by a young girl in both anime.
Both X and EL are about people who have supernatural powers, and both are bloody and violent, even though EL obviously has a way more exaggerated gore, and X is not ecchi. Both anyway are depressing, dramatic, and sad. Be prepared to see lots of deaths.
|
|
|
Although Mai-Hime starts off light-hearted, once its story gets going there's a lot of similarities between it and X. Both have intensely dramatic scenarios between characters involved in a war of super powers.
|
|
|
Kamui always makes me think of Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma and both anime have a lot different powers in them.
|
|
|
In an apocalyptic background, two groups of "espers" fight each other. Betrayal, enigmatical characters, and a protagonist that don't know what to do and have to fight against peoples he don't want to.

You simply MUST watch both of these together to complete Subaru Sumeragi's story! One without the other is like missing out completely on his past (Tokyo Babylon) and his fate (X), and I definitely recommend reading the manga as well for further plot details since the anime is limited to a certain amount of time and couldn't deal with the more final stuff. Do it! ^o^

The main characters in the both seires are similar, both made by CLAMP, the story is similar to...
|
|
|
It's dark! It's depressing and has death! Supernatural hoo-ha! Boobies! .. Er .. Actually, X and DN are just really good and you should watch both! Both are big on character and plot development, and have that same 'omg world is ending' feel .. Except X is more literal! ^w^

similar art style and some more good looking boys performing spells

X - The Movie basically has the same story as X TV, but the first has much more blood and violence. In my opinion, you must watch to movie just to be curious about how the storyline and characters improved so much in the TV series.
Highlight: the insanity and rampage of Fuuma in X - The Movie is totally shocking. The action/battle fans will be very pleased to watch the character performance. He's in the same gore level as Gatsu (Berserk).

Both are works done by CLAMP and are mysterious but also profound
|
|
|
The whole Tokyo Revelations OVA is based off of X, it has the same characters, setting and overall dark nature. Both series are by CLAMP.
|
|
|
Another anime by CLAMP, it is a cross-over anime featuring many characters from other CLAMP works, X/1999 included
|
|
|
Both shows contain a main character with a destiny that will determine the fate of the world. The concepts of fate and predetermination are focussed on strongly by each series. In either one, fate seems pretty grim. Scrapped Princess is considerably lighter than X, but they both hint towards a 'doom and gloom' conclusion throughout each respective show.

Two close high school students become enemies due to their destined incarnations as opposing divine beings. Angels, legends, bloody violence and tragic romance. Overall, a very similar dark supernatural shoujo (e.g. bishounen) theme. Highly recommended.

Both of these animes are made by Clamp...they both contain unforgettable characters and wonderful story lines...both of these animes contain drama but X is a lot darker then xxxholic!
|
|
|
Both contain characters with a "special ability" who are unsure about where they belong. Each anime also contains a slight "world is trying to heal itself" and possible "annihilation of the human race" plot as well. Unfortunately, both animes also have a rather unsatisfying ending... but don't let that stop you from watching either! They're both great!
|
|
|
both have a scene with a guy on top of another guy on a bed. :D
I know that's a weird recommendation to make but these two anime just seem similar somehow. Maybe because some of the characters are similar. both anime have a pretty useless brown-haired female characters
