slashable bishies~
boy commands a supernatural creature everyone else is afraid of. Kantarou and Masahiro both fight evil spirits and demons with Onmyoudo (a sort of buddhistic-mystic art to tell fortune, cast spells and terminate evil spirits). Shounen Onmyouji plays during the Heian Era and Tactics during the Meji Era = historical Japan with people wearing yukata etc.
Both shows features a bishounen with a supernatural servant/friend of sorts with a close relationship nearing shounen-ai (although this isn't the case). The main characters are both onmyoujis, and both shows have an arc-based/episodic setting where the characters help others or generally fight to protect themselves from monsters or the antagonists, while having character development present throughout the series.
Same pattern but not the plot!!! It's the same in field which is exorcising demons, also the protagonists have protectors either a demon or a god.
Shonen Onmyouji reminds me of Tactics in many ways. The same setting, exorcising ayakashi, demon/god in the form of cute little pet, same gibberish chants, shonen protagonist with almost the same personality, and not forgetting the distinct master and servant relationship between humans and demons/gods. Heck, even the ending bears obvious similarities - sad conclusion left opened for a potential sequel. Enjoy one and you'll definitely enjoy the other.
The set up for these two seems very similar in the synopsis but they aren't as similar overall when you watch them as it makes it seem. Having said that, they are similar enough that if you like one you'll probably like the other one, but different enough that you cans still enjoy both of them with out it being to repetitive.
These 2 animes are really similar: they have young protagonist with spiritual power and older guy to protect him. Their endings are also similar in some way or another. Well, at least for me. And both of them should have 2nd season. I'm pretty sure that if You like one of them, another one should also catch your interest. At least You will have somthing to compare.

They both involve a person who can see things that others can't see. They both try to solve problems with the best of their abilities. They both have non-human sidekicks.
Both deal with the complicated realtionships bewtween humans and spirits. Both also have humor.
friendly main characters who happen to be teenagers...have some sort of super natural power and uses it to help supernatural beings...somewhat similiar feel in the graphics but set in different periods
Both animes deal with supernatural powers (youkai) and in both animes the main characters are young men who have power over those youkai. Natsume Yuujinchou leaves a way more positive feeling, though.

The main characters in these series aren't mere humans, they can see mystic creatures. Both Kantaro and Ginko don't think these creatures are evil; their attitude seems more similar with the attitude towards nature, neither good nor evil. Besides that these series have the same structure: one episode - one story. If it's not enough for you to put these titles together, you'll definitely enjoy the mystic atmosphere in Mushishi and Tactics.
If you are searching for an anime about spirits then you can stop your search because these two animes are about weird things and spirits...In both of them at each episode shown different situations and the main char have to solve the problem with some kind of spirit(s).

Mysterious cases that involve various kinds of ghost/youkai/mystical creatures. Similarity: ** 1/2
They both fight evil spirits

They are very similar: the age where both of them take place and the fact that both have youkais too. And one more thing: Kantarou and Toki are both connected to a tengu some way. And the style is alike too.
Both deal with how bonds are formed between people and the main characters have similar personalities. Also both deal with the supernatural.

Plot-wise these two go hand in hand and revolve around a detective agency that solves supernatural-related issues. They both dwell on mythological (in Loki, Norse myths) and folklore-driven (in Tactics, Japanese lore) elements with a heavy dose of comedy (probably more so in Loki) and drama (especially in the latter episodes of Tactics).
Tactics and Loki are both mystery stories that deal with supernatural beings (or 'occult detective' stories, if you prefer), and are based on mythology/folklore (Norse in Loki's case, and Japanese in Tactics' case). They are episodic for the most part, with the main plot emerging in the second half of the series and toward the end. On the surface, they are both seemingly comedies, but there is also a lot of drama as they touch upon the relationships between people. The overall feeling these two anime give is very similar. You can even draw connections between some of the characters. Aside from that, Tactics and Loki are also based on the manga by the same mangaka, animated by the same studio, and directed by the same person. And both are epic... >.>

Tactics and Descendants of Darkness are detective stories set in a supernatural environment where the culprits are spirits or spirit-like entities. Tactics offers consistent comedy despite a turn for the dark at the end of the series; something similar happens with DoD even if the humorous content is more toned down. On a side note, both are highly slashable in terms of possible shounen-ai relationships: DoD scores higher in this area but Tactics is not exempt of yaoi-like undertones.
Both are about supernatural things like spirits, ghosts; both have the couple who fights with such creatures; both have "friendship" which is more than friendship between two guys;
I'm sure that if you like Yami no matsuei, you would like "Tactics" as well.

well.....kekkaishi hunts ghost or spirits and if the spirits reach to their school they'll turn into a monster. While TATICS has spirits too..but they call their monsters "oni" it's similar to kekkaishi because they carry staffs and uses magics too!! that's all...

Both are rather similar in slashiness. Both have concepts of magic involved. Semi-episodic, but main plot develops after time. Great music... Similar animation. Rather "crosslinking"/relatable characters appear in both anime series.

Both deal with demons/spirits. Also, there are some yummy bishies in both of these shows. It's great~

Both are supernatural shows in which a demonic being which has assumed the form of a beautiful man is bound to serve a human boy. In both cases, the demon is loyal to his master to a certain extent but relatively neutral in terms of good and evil. Both shows also have a variety of silly characters in the background, including a clumsy maid.

Both are rather similar in slashiness. Both have concepts of magic involved. Action/adventure levels are similar...Somewhat correspondingly have hints of romance.

Tactics and Karas both have the supernatural element of youkai living side-by-side oblivious humans, that there's a whole separate culture of creatures that go about their lives, unseen.
|
|
|
If you like, things involving demons/youkai, talismans, rune magic, priests/priestesses, then this would be a good simliar setting of Tactics to watch!

You will probably like both of them if you like animes that have relation with the Japanese culture and connection between gods and humans where they live in the same society or world.
