Two fighting factions, which members have supernatural powers. Many bishounens. Apocalyptic theme. Megapolis backgrounds. And very strange one letter titles, which make hard to find these animes on torrent trackers!
Both anime revolve around two gangs of magic users, who are fighting each other. Both anime have a bit of shounen-ai. Both anime have a single letter in their names.
- bishounens
- supernatural elements
- similar plot

Both deal with apocaliptic themes and have tragic stories.
I'm so glad other people agree that these two are similar!
Both are dark shoujo series (I consider Wolf's Rain to be more on the shoujo side than the shounen side, and X is absolutely shoujo) with a large, primarily male cast. Sacrifice, betrayal, trust, friendship, end of the world, protecting the one(s) you love at all costs, etc. are all present in both series. All in all the two series just have a very similar feel to them. If you like one you will most likely enjoy the other.
Did I mention X has a wolf? =)
Even though the plots are completely different. i think some of the characters r very simular. also they both deal with the end of the world sanario's. and the main character has something to protect but has a very hard time doing so. both are great manga's though. you should watched them both. :)

fight against destiny and the end of the world
Winged bishies and apocalyptic theme
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.

If the creator of Urakobu wasn't inspired in some shape or form by Clamps series then I'll eat my hat
interesting stories with a beginning like that.
The stories share many similarities, as well as the relationships between characters.

The main characters in the both seires are similar, both made by CLAMP, the story is similar to...
Maybe it's CLAMP's story telling way that makes me think this recommendation is a good idea.
In both, Code Geass (especially the R2 part) and X TV:
* The main cast chooses their role in war to accomplish what they believe in, and both sides are simultaneously "right" and "wrong".
* The main character risks everything he has to make sure the people he loves will have a future (Kamui, for Fuma and Kotori; Lelouch for his sister Nunnally).
* The future, human emotions/actions and wishes play a very important part in the story.
* A tragedy waits to happen (and does happen).
If you liked any of those aspects in one of the series, you'll probably enjoy it in the other, too.
Well, considering CLAMP did the character designs and thus made Lelouch look like a carbon copy of Kamui...
They also explore similar themes and are beautiful and tragic. Code Geass, however, is fanservicey while X is not at all as it is shoujo. Geass can also be more frustrating to watch at times.

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 series contain similar art style of the old school as well the darker mood, background, and tone of the story.
As of course with the story, there is the theme of predestination, saving/protecting loved ones, and obtaining one's identity in both anime(s)
There is a lot of drama, plot holes, twists, action, supernatural themes and dark background to go along wit the mix. Of course, with that...there is also tragedy and sadness in both series.
Both series also explores the theme of human relations through the interactions of other characters ranging from sibling, guardian, to couples.

Very similar story-wise, but Tokyo Majin takes the cake in animation.
Both supernatural anime have similar stories and focus on teenage boys that are destined to fight the Apocalypse. While reserved Kamui Shirou (X) knows of his predetermined fate, sensitive Tatsuma Hiyuu (Tokyo Majin) is unaware, but both of them decide to fight in order to protect their friends - who are also involved in the epic battle to come. Kamui must choose a side and stand with either the Seven Seals or Seven Angels, while Tatsuma's Star of Fate brings him together with others who are destined to side with the Golden Dragon. In Tokyo Majin there is a scene where the Dragons of Heaven and Earth are mentioned as well.
They also share comparable dark atmospheres and concepts (death), sleek artwork, and urban fantasy action scenes.

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.
X TV is just like Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations because of the characters that appear are also part of X. Apparently, the characters are originally from X TV. Just like the characters, some of them are dream seers and after watching X you'll say that Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations are also the alternative ending of X. If you like Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations, you might also like X, in which in the apocalyptic genre in which Tokyo is in ruins in the future.

Both these animes are GREAT! Busou Renkin has more of a funny side to it then X does. Bottom line if you enjoyed one of these animes you'll enjoy the other!!!
Be sure to watch both don't miss out!

Apocalypsyse theme, two powerful sides, their battle.
|
|
|
Similar style and characters. and double yay for having an awesome storyline! (:
|
|
|
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..
|
|
|
Fantastic anime,only a bit completion hopeless
|
|
|
Both anime have the end of the world as the main theme, featuring morale choices for the main character. Also, there is a close bond between the main characters (the good and the bad ones). I think their endings are pretty much similar...no spoilers :D
|
|
|
It's by CLAMP also. The characters in X, Tokyo Babylon, RG Veda, xxxHolic, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Chobits all...connect. The shows sort of overlap.
|
|
|
In X/1999, Kamui Shirou was friends with Fuuma Monou and as Fuuma's personality gradually change, Kamui tries to retrive his friend to what he really is...
Similar to X, Black Rock Shooter doesn't really wish to fight against Dead Master and she wants to retrieve her friend and Mato do the same to Yomi...
|

Both are about a child of prophecy trying to save the world from it's end.
|
|
|
Supernatural powers/fighting techniques, mostly damn serious dialogue and a very dark story, one a bit more kiddier than the other but get you quite hooked to see the outcome of the story, and both are remembered series some times ago.
|

Both Basilisk and X have two waring factions with supernatural abilities, they also don't have your typical moral "good" and "bad" sides. Both animes also have a somewhat bleak atmosphere to them, and contain a similar group combat progression (deliberated phrased strangely to avoid spoilers). Both these animes also leave a bit to be desired from their leading characters, but have relatively solid supporting characters. However these two animes are set in different time periods, and also have a different feel to them.
|
|
|
These animes don't have a vast amount in common, however if you enjoyed one you may enjoy the other. The Book of Bantorra is far less bleak and serious atmosphere, and the leading character are (for the most part) far less morally driven, the feel of the two animes is also quite different. However both have a mix of regular enjoyable supernaturally fueled combat scenes and character developing episodes. Both animes also have a diversity of abilities and a relatively large lineup of characters that each get their own turn in the lime light.
|
|
|
They both have close-knit groups fighting to save the world as well as very tragic undertones, such as broken trust and betrayal. Both have a dark atmosphere and underground organizations of sorts.
Annd to add icing to the cake, Yomi bears a striking physical resembelance to Arashi, while Kagura seems very much like Yuzuriha both in personality and looks, as well as age and pocky-loving.

Hakkenden instantly reminds me of the X TV/X 1999 Movie
Same Supernatural feeling
Since they are brothers and they have similar powers:
Shino---> Kamui
Souseke ----. Fuuuma
|

Spiral and X does connect a little bit, since Ayumu Narumi and Kamui Shirou was created as a savior of people, not to mention their seiyuu is the same, Suzumura Kenichi. It is like that even Ayumu doesn't want to believe about his fate as well as Kamui, fate will still make a way for them to do what fate told them to do so. They also doesn't get the point of what is destiny and that the two heroes could only change the future with their own choices and Ayumu's sister-in-law, is look up to be like Kotori that believes that the future is not decided in which the two of them believes about...
|
|
|
They are both very different, but they both contain characters fighting against the fate.
|
|
|
pretty much the same story focusing on a guy, his best friend
and his sister in a situation where they have to take sides
( good or evil ) based one's logic and philosophy ..
in both, the characters find themselves torn between their
selfish desires and the tendency to move on..
both deal with the same themes : life and death , revenge , magic
, psychology ,the end of humanity , revolutionizing the world...
|
|
|
Both contain a battle to save the world.
The demons in Saiyuki are fighting to save everyone.
Well the people in X have to fight to save the world
|
|
|
Both deal with fate and trying to make your own destiny. Both are very dramatic, angsty, and good!
|
|
|
Both series tell a rather dark story about a secret battle, involving 14 participants with supernatural powers, fighting to death for their ideals/wishes.
|
|
|
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.

Another anime by CLAMP, it is a cross-over anime featuring many characters from other CLAMP works, X/1999 included
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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!
|
|
|
similar art style and some more good looking boys performing spells
|
|
|
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^
|
|
|
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^
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
In both, the two main guys are enemies that were childhood best friends. The goal is the same: two sides, where the bad guy wishes the world destruction and the end of humanity, while the good guy wishes not just to save the world, but save his (current enemy) best friend. Also in both the "Bad guy" used to be a very gentle and kind person but it was possessed by evil, and tries to defeat his best friend. Also in both animes, the bad guy has a sister that was also a best friend of the two, and that possesses powers.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Its kinda the same but with a less quantity of characters and a history more basic.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Kamui always makes me think of Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma and both anime have a lot different powers in them.
|
|
|
Both are really dramatic and have themes of people losing it. Both have some romance themes and battles ( though there are more violent, shounen anime-ish battles in X ) and both main characters in each deal with the stress of lives in their hands
|
|
|
They both involve different varieties of magic and have magical fights with opposing sides and such. They also both have complex and vague love situations and some episodes / mini arcs specifically for supporting characters.
|
|
|
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
|
|

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.
