Kara no Kyoukai Movie 1: Fukan Fuukei

Similar atmosphere with plenty of tragic characters; both take place in the nasuverse, though the stories themselves are very different. Heavy emphasis on dialogue, but good looking animation regardless. Hail ufotable, hero of nasuverse! 

If you enjoyed Fate series you must watch Kara no Kyoukai series since the stories are in the same universe and its by the same creators 

Both series have similar art style and dark mood. A myriad of exchange of words between characters of various factions is only to be expected, and whether the dialogue is pretentious or philosophical is really up to the audience to decide. There are also a huge amount of gorgeous blade and magic action in both series. In the end, it is really no surprise that the two series are so much alike. They are both based on Type-Moon novels, produced by Ufotable, and have Yuki Kajiura as the music arranger.  

Same producer, same composer, same action, same enjoyment. You just have to wait, don't judge "Kara no Kyoukai" from the first movie, it gets better. 

They're both about magic and supernatural beings..They have a lot of action,great animation(it's ufotable afterall!) and many emotional moments.. 

The shows aren't really similar, but the style and action of the characters and scenes is very reminiscent  

You will see the best effects, drawing and styling at those two. Awesome fights, mystery, bright colors! It is a bit more magic and fights in Fate/Zero, while Kara no Kyoukai has more phiplosophical stuff and a bit detective. 

• Both anime were produced by Ufotable, Aniplex, Notes, • Both light novels were made by Type-Moon • Music for both was by Yuki Kajiura • Both had vocals by Kalafina (technically, this doesn't apply to Fate/Zero season 1) • Both directed by Ei Aoki • Kinoko Nasu worked on both • Both fantasy-action genre • Both very mature I feel like I'm missing some stuff, but I don't think that matters at this point. If you enjoyed one and haven't seen the other, watch it. Be warned that Kara no Kyoukai is certainly not for children. 

(switch the two anime around) Both are related to Type Moon, both are animated by ufotable, and both are scored by the one and only Yuki Kajiura (the music she did in Kara no Kyoukai is some of her best work). Both have great to amazing fights, and while Kara no Kyoukai has a slow start similar to Fate Zero, it will be really be worth it in the end. 

They both do have one thing in common if not something, that is jaw dropping animation. Kara no Kyoukai is an anime series presented as 7 movies with animation that even exceed the animation quality of Fate Zero. Both are produced by Ufotable and how they managed to pull this off is beyond me. Both have mature themes and violence with KnK moving towards more darker themes. It's a must watch if you liked the fate series, just be sure to watch the second movie as well before deciding. 

They are the bests Ufotable's work . The animation for those two anime is one of the most beautiful that exists, and is very similar . In more, the universe is the same in both, so if you liked it and want to learn more about it, it's an opportunity . 

Both are part of the Nasuverse, with many reference that one could catch when seeing both shows. Kara no kyoukai (also known as "the garden of sinners") is made by Ufotable, the same studio that makes fate/zero, they did a superb job on it as well. The main protagonist is also consider by many as a very good lead (similar to fate/zero main protagonist) and brings many interesting aspect to the show. Watching all seven main movies (1-7 in that order) would be a good choice after viewing fate/zero and fate/stay night.  

Both take place in the same universe - Both have a very dark and mysterious tone - Both have badass MCs - Both deal with magical elements - Both have badass fight - Both have great animation from ufotable 

Both are made by TYPE-Moon and take place in the same universe. If you like the Fate series, then you'll definitely like the Kara no Kyoukai series 

Kara no Kyoukai and Fate/Zero are anime with a dark atmosphere. Both are set in the same world. Graphic elements have been taken care of in both titles, making the viewer watch a lot of interesting fights with great animation standing at the highest level, which was taken care of by the ufotable studio. Also worth mentioning is the music created by Kalafina, which comes off phenomenally. The OSTs were perfectly matched to the atmosphere and action. 

Both are involved in solving an abnormal murder case. Kara no Kyoukai has a more supernatural tone then Denpa teki na Kanojo. If you like one of them then you'll definitely like the other. 

Both series contains mystery and elements of horror and suspense. Both series' stories are dark, twisted, and has a strange nature but is surprisingly enjoyable to watch. The style of the storytelling in both series are also similar as well as the tone. Both series' main protagonists are also somewhat similar. 

Both of these shows have a lot of similarities. The format is similar, the story-telling style is similar, the mood and pacing is pretty much the same. Both stories contain a kind-hearted, yet strong male lead along with a mysterious girl. Both girl characters are yandere. Both contain a good bit of graphic content and a few psychotic characters. And of course, both shows are brilliantly written and ultimately fantastic.  

Have a sinister similar atmosphere and a thriller aspect as in both case the main duo has to face some murder cases. Also show the psychology of some broken characters. Although I believe that Kara no Kyoukai is better due to better art, music and allows much more character depth due to its 7 movies length. 

Dark urban setting. Deep but nuanced themes and intensely gripping. If you like the Kara no Kyoukai franchise check out the the short 2( double lenghth) episodes ova Denpa-teki na Kanojo 

Interplay between Main Characters and Love Interests is similar. Both have Neo-Noir themes. 

These two anime have such a similar feel to them that I‘m convinced that they have to be siblings in some way. The most obvious point is the atmosphere. The scenes are long, the voices are calm, the scenery is big and the feeling is mysterious. They understand that immersion comes from a balance of cinematic means (i.e. camera, music, color, etc.) and an engaging story doesn‘t simply entertain the viewer, but engages them emotionally or logically (mostly the latter for these two). Another very similar aspect is the dialogue. It‘s unusual, sometimes even unnatural, but at the same time thoughtful, interesting and information packed. You‘ll want to pay close attention, especially whenever the motivation of an antagonist is discussed. Finally, the themes and thematic execution are also quite similar. KnK covers a broader range of themes, simply because it has more time to do so, but in their core, both of these anime talk about the psychological reasons why people hurt others, blurring the lines of victim and culprit in the process. I could go on about character dynamics, art and setting, but you get the point. I personally think that if you enjoy one of the two, you‘re almost guaranteed to like the other.  read more 

Both anime feature supernatural powers that prefer to tell its story in a non-linear, out of order way that allows it's viewers to piece everything together.  

- Both involve a protagonist with supernatural power in the daily world - Both have a dark theme with a similar tone of storytelling - Story pacing not in chronological order in both series  

A slow paced, atmospheric psychological mystery horror series starring a girl with multiple personalities, one a fighting violent badass and one a reserved and normal girl. Told out of chronological order and very cryptic. 

Boogiepop greatly reminds me of the Kara no Kyoukai franchise. Both are told in unchronological order where each piece is both an independent story and a piece of a larger puzzle. Main characters of both shows are young women with split personality and supernatural powers. Both are very atmospheric and have amazing soundtracks.  

the atmosphere is very similar to that of kara no kyoukai we don't really understand everything, we're always looking for an answer this is probably the only anime that looks like kara no kyoukai there is also a similarity between boogiepop and shiki during the anime we can hear phrases with a hidden meaning like Kara no Kyoukai 8: Shuushou 

Both female leads have mysterious abilities and are surrounded by supernatural events. If you enjoy the pacing and storytelling of Boogiepop you will find that Kara no Kyoukai gives the same feeling. The atmosphere in Kara no Kyoukai is also dark and eerie. The animation is handled by Ufotable and is a real treat given its age. Another similar point is that the story is told out of order. Please do not watch Kara no Kyoukai in chronological order on your first watch. 

Both based of Type Moons products, both in the nasuverse, both having awesome animation and fight scenes. Kara no Kyoukai have a mature story and atmosphere. If you like one, you will most definitely like the other.  

Both are part of the Nasu-verse and share similar art and animation. The tone is considerably dark in both shows as well. 

Both address current worlds where magic part, besides having characters similar in appearance 

The forgotten part of the Nasuverse. - Same studio but with a film budget - Complex and interesting characters (if you liked archer you will love Touko) - same original writer - a darker tone (for those who thought Zero was better than Stay night)  

Happened in the same universe Made by the same studio (Ufotable) Both series use magic powers 

Its not exactly the same world, but have the same world laws and both of them are great shows. Both of them are of modern fantasy too. 

Both GITS and KnK explore themes of humanity and further extensions of humanity; they also share similar protagonists (Motoko and Shiki are alike in personality and appearance), the soundtrack is also similar in style. 

Both movies revolve around the theme of human mind going beyond its physical shell. The main heroines are alike in character and appearance. The same mysterious atmosphere, profound dialogues, same degree of action and psychological in both. 

Both franchises explore metaphysical concepts, with GiTS being based in science fiction and KnK being based in fantasy. They also have badass female leads and are similar in tone and pacing.  

-simular philosophical themes -both Main characters are trapped in a artificial body -both feature pretty well directed fight scenes and solid animation  

While “Ghost in the Shell” is sci-fi and “Kara no Kyoukai” is supernatural fantasy, they both tackle heavy and monumental philosophical themes like identity, mind-body dualism, motivation. They spend a great amount of screen time depicting the scenery around in which the tone is somewhat melancholic. The two heroines, Shiki and Motoko, are also eminently similar in appearance and personality. 

kara no kyoukai series are similar to mnemosyne. magic and paranormal activities and philosophy a lot of philosophy which told you a sense of being a human. they both show the aim that human hardly can attain, but try despite all the loses. 

Although Kara no Kyoukai is far better, both share a rather dark athmosphere. Also, there are mysteries that are not revealed until later in the series. 

- Supernatural Noir. - A kind of secret agency which job is trying to solve strange cases. - Dark Story. - Talks about life and death. - Mnemosyne is more gore, bold in eroticism, and more sci-fi. - Kara no Kyoukai is more philosophical. 

Kara No Kyoukai and Mnemosyne are similar in that they are both very experimental, mature, and often time very dark and mysterious. They both have stories based around time manipulation, albeit, in entirely different ways, with Kara being a non-linear, out of order story, and Mnemosyne being a story that traverses many generations and decades in time. Both have strong female lead protagonists (who also double as somewhat of antagonists, depending on how you look at it), with odd partnerships throughout. These two are some of the most beautiful looking animes available, as well- With Kara really taking the lead in the animation department. If you are an adult anime watcher, look no further than these two marvelously brutal, philosophical, and psychologically deep shows.  read more 

Both shows have strong female lead. Dark tone and themes with symbolism throughout. Both have intense soundtrack. 

Somewhat deep, interesting stories spiced up with blood and action. Similar themes 

Both have a deep, calm, philosophical and amazing atmosphere, a lot of blood and violence but holding the incredibly competency to not be "too cruel to watch", letting a non-accostumed horror/violence anime' fan enjoy the show. Unfortunately, both also have predictable and poorly developed support characters. 

Similar for their eeriness, alternative approach to philosophical issues and use of violence 

After elfen lied this was really the only anime that could somewhat compare. It has an incredibly good story, and should get that ending of Elfen Lied off your mind! ^^ 

very similiar synopsis as in terms of character personalty Ryougi Shiki reminds me of Lucy a lot with her bloodlust an two personality's .The series has a very same haunting effect of music an ambient style,the music is quite beautiful actually in both series in Elfen lied when Lucy hums the main theme song you get this prickly feeling behind your neck it will stick you with for a while.If you like blood an gore an a twisted love story its an anime essential,just get used to heads twisting off an blood flowing everywhere an theres also Nudity.  

Like the same story, but what will happen when, instead of the main hero will have the heroine 

both have similar skill in using dagger to become their main weapon,both character is also fight only in the night so that make the series become gore and horror. in this series contained a lot violence. 

The character types and sequel is almost similar. It contains the same power as the protagonists of Kara no Kyoukai and Shingetsutan Tsukihime 

First off both anime are made by Type-Moon, and on top of that the plot and character are very very similar. The MC from Shingetsutan & the MC from Kara no Kyoukai both have mystic eyes of death, both series have many female characters and romance is also a main genre........ 

Characters in both series have a lot in common. Tohno Shiki all the time reminded me of Kokutou Mikiya, these charcters have a lot of in common (even the voice actor!). So Brunestud Arcueid assocites with Ryougi Shiki having shy appearance and looking alike. In both of these anime you will see nice fights, mystery, supernatural stuff and searching the truth about some events. 

They both have similar character design and similar way of telling story (for me both were very confusing in the beginning as if I was thrown right in the middle of things instead of a beginning). Both are heavly influence by Type Moon too.  

Both are action filled anime by Type-Moon and have very similar character design. I also see quite a few similarities in the characters Ryougi Shiki and Canaan  

First of all, both produced by TYPE-MOON. Beyond that, there are some other similarities: While both female leads uses different weapons in the series, they both have the independent badass personality who are able to take care of themselves. They are what some people see as "ice queens". Both series contain plenty of action, drama, as well as similar artwork. Both series also contain some mystery and the story telling style is similar.  

The two series' protagonists have identical personalities, physical abilities, special ability and similar appearance. There're some slight differences: 1/ Difference in eyes colors while activating their abilities. Shiki's eyes glows blue, while Canaan's turn red. 2/ Shiki uses katana and knives, while Canaan uses mostly gun 3/ They wear different styles of clothing. Shiki wears a combine of traditional and western while Canaan wear modern style only. 4/ Canaan has white hair while Shiki has brown hair. (but the same hair style) 

both of these anime have unexplained events like people being killed ,without a clue or trace,also both of these anime are classfied into a mystery type anime , also these anime have characters whose powers are unique. if you have like the anime Higurashi naku koro ni -which is mystery,horror anime then im surely you will watch to the anime kara no kyoukai-whose events shows similar to the anime higurashi naku koro ni 

Higurashi is a supernatural horror/ mystery show. Kara no Kyoukai is similar in that it is a series of 'movies' in non-sequentioal order, and you must peice together what was happening and when. It is a story of a girl who is given supernatural powers and eventually comes to work for a supernatural detective agency. She isn't quite sane, has no compunction about killing when it's needed, and is drawn into several happenings that are of the otherworldy variety. Blood and gore aren't the only things that make these series, a smart plot is, too! And that is what these shows have in spades. 

There are similarities based on how the mystery element is portrayed and they are both quite dark series. Although Kara No Kyoukai has a bit more of a mature tone and theme, both series are great psychological/mystery anime's, and they will both mess with your mind. 

Same director, same composer, both based of Type Moon novels, along with both containing a similar feel and atmosphere. Both have a mature history. If you like one, you will most definitely like the other. 

If you liked Fate/Zero, you'd probably also like Kara no Kyoukai. First off, the animation in both series was done by ufotable, and if you haven't noticed by know, their animation is rediculously good. Furthermore, both series have fairly dark atmospheres, which is aided by the music from Yuki Kajiura. Both are definitely worth watching. 

What you see is definitely not what you get when it comes to either of these series. In addition to a similarly dark atmosphere, storytelling tone, and soundtrack, both are heavily stylized stories that hide the true meaning behind allegory and symbolism. In the case of Madoka Magica, these stylizations are primarily visual, using bright colours and children's toys for symbolic meaning. In Kara no Kyoukai, the stylization also extends beyond the visual and into the story-telling, by breaking away from a standard chronological order of events. As a result, the same feeling of mystery follows you from one series to another. 

Both have dark themes, good action scenes and very similar music. 

Both deal with supernatural events that affect people. Kara no Kyoukai has a darker nature while Monogatari is more eccentric. 

Both are shows about solving supranatural problems caused by mystical entities that have connection with client's feelings and emotions. While KnK has darker tone, Monogatari are more comedic (even though sometimes it can be dark too). Both are also well directed by amazing studios (Ufotable and Shaft).  

Both were done - quite superbly - by type moon, and so the animation style and the atmosphere the series give off are very very similar.  

Artwork in both anime have great resemblances, due to the fact that both stories are written by Type-Moon. These anime feature a world where magic exists, and can be used be a given few people. Furthermore, the female protagonists are sword/knife-wielding bad-ass without descending into the usual dere stereotypes. 

First of all, watch all the Garden of Sinners movies, as well as all the Heaven's Feel movies (not just the first of each)....I guess that's obvious. Anyway, while the two series are produced by Type-Moon, there are similarities that run deeper between them. The most obvious is the respective juxtaposition of the two main characters in each series. If I were to give any more details, I would spoil it so I will leave you to watch away. 

Both are based on a boy that want to save a girl of a fate of death 

They're both really dark and do not shy away from themes such as murder, suicide, and insanity. Kara no Kyoukai is quite a bit darker and more serious than Mirai Nikki, but I think anyone who enjoyed Mirai Nikki for its characters will find a lot to like about Kara no Kyoukai. It's a bit of a slow burner, but it's worth it if you give it a chance. 

Both series are reference in action/mystery genre. Both MC have difficulties to show any emotions and are somewhat chained due to the responsability their power lend them. Both MC are ruthless. Both of them are really powerful. 

Both deal with supernatural events. In both the main character is someone antisocial, but has the power to see the spirits of the dead.  

Both anime have dark setting, top-notch action, gore and interesting stories.
