Hai to Gensou no Grimgar

They are both a RPG based anime. But this one is more interesting in my opinion. 

-both told about another world -bertahan life fighting monsters -Make Party to adventure 

Similar premise and world, however, the tone is completely different. Danmachi is lighthearted and comedic sometimes, while Grimgar emphasizes reality and how teenagers would actually react in dangerous situations. On another note, the fighting of Danmachi is very solo-focused with plenty of determination. Grimgar has more team-building aspects into it. 

● Both are set in fantasy worlds with RPG like aspects (Classes/Sorcery/Monsters) ● The two main protagonists live in poverty and are therefore forced to immerse themselves in dangerous quests against powerful enemies. They both fulfill similar leadership roles and are of the same 'rogue class' in which they use a dagger as their main weapon. ● Both shows have a similar economy system in which people can choose to fight dangerous creatures in dungeons in an MMO like environment. Doing so rewards them in the form of currency. ● Both shows a similar feelings of progression as the protagonists become stronger and more skillful as they encounter and overcome any obstacles (Emotionally or Physically) on their adventures.  read more 

-They both have a very similar 'world' -Both protagonists use a knife as their main weapon -Both protagonists live in poverty -They both involve forming a party and using it to accomplish your goals, little by little 

They are both a RPG based anime. They have similarities like being in a party and start with low lvl creatures. In my opinion, you should watch this, the 2nd season is not confirmed, but really enjoyable :D 

they are both a RPG game based  

RPG style both have weak characters at the beginning  

Both shows appear to happen in an alternative universe. Here you've got lvl and skill upgrades, guilds, missions and all the game type stuff. Good humor and satisfying lvl of action guaranteed. 

First of all, both series are based on adventure, battle, dungeons. The main characters, Bell and Haruhiro, are evolving throughout the series. Secondly, at the beginning of both series they are led by certain people, the group that Haruhiro is part of is led by Manato, and the group to which Bell belongs is led by Hestia. Finally, the main characters become the leaders of their own groups. Third, for survival in their world, they have to fight with different monsters. Creatures drown certain things that they can sell and receive money. In both cases, in the beginning of the series, they are poor, helpless, struggling to survive another day. read more 

Grimgar is a darker counterpart to Dungeon. They have very similar setups, including level-ups and "skills". While Dungeon brushes with a dark moment or two, Grimgar dwells there. It's absolutely worth checking out both of them.  

both character live in poverty, weak mc but trying to better,, live in another world, monster magic and gore, theres the very uniqe skill the both mc has, strong bond and feeling 

Personally I think these animes are very similar due to their beautiful atmosphere and characters. Also because it has that RPG look with dungeons and the progress that all the characters make. You'll love any of them. 

In a rpg-like world, the main characters and their guilds are trying to survive with the very low income they get. With time, they get better living conditions, they get stronger and they get new members. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka is essentially a comedic version of Hai to Gensou no Grimgar with a goddess, lots of ecchi and a harem. 

Very much alike, just Hai to Gensou no Grimgar is a bit more serious than DanMachi, but i really like both. 

Both take place in a world where they have to fight in a donjon like world... The main difference is that Hai to gensou no grimgar has less ecchi from far 

Dungeons, a group of teenagers and lots of action, well built and both have excellent stories.  

The feels. The MC wants to become strong as fast as possible. RPG-like environment. Good action scenes and story. 

in both animes is like RPG setting. Trapped in another world. Dungeon ni deal is more comedy and hai to gensou is more focused on drama. 

Both are adventure type animes. 

Both of this shows is the closest to each other in similarities. 1) Both are "trapped inside a game" anime. 2) Both are tragedies, you will feel the sadness. (unlike in Log Horizon; Grimgar beats Log Horizon in this part) 3) There could be romance. (mind you, we are still far from finishing Grimgar but there are hints). 4) Survival; if you die, you die. (unlike in Log Horizon once again). 5) Very nice art and animation. (should I say "unlike in LH" again lol) (mind you, I love LH, I'm just saying there is a better candidate now on being close to SAO). 

Game mechanics are important as the setting of the animes. They place importance on life or death in HP, and remain as a character's lifeline throughout the whole anime as a game mechanic. The game's nature is fantasy. Swords and magic skills are decided. 

Have the same setting as it depicts a game-like world, And they're also stuck on that world BUT with no recollections of the real world. This is a very underrated anime with the same setting as SAO with a mix of slice of life. 

Both series see heroes unwillingly trapped in a virtual reality style game that resembles a fantasy setting RPG game. Both have similar style battles, weapons and enemies.  

Game like world survival of the fittest Amazing characters and plot Die in the game....you die in real 

Both are based around a RPG scenario as well as both touch on the grief of losing a friend as well as having to confront a world where it's kill or be killed. Although Sword Art Online has more time to develop a plot / character development than Grimgar.  

Portrays the ideals that individuals are placed in an hostile environment where they learn to openly express themselves as the warrior, magician, swordsman they are. Learning new abilities and coming closer in relationship with one another 

Both of these anime are set in a virtual MMO world, despite Grimgar never explicitly stating this. Grimgar is shorter(being only 12 episodes), but places a greater emphasis on the development of each character while SAO focuses primarily on how much of an OP Kirito is. That being said both have an amazing art style, SAO showcases great animation and Grimgar takes a more stylistic (could be described as a watercolour meets anime) approach. Both anime have a good soundtrack, with SAO being the superior (case and point: Crossing Field). If you enjoyed a story that revolves around a fantasy-meets-gaming setting, give both a go. 

Both show take place in a MMORPG world where the character fight monster to survive. 

Sword art online and Grimgar of fantasy and ash (Hope this helps) If you absolutely adored SAO, then you may love Grimgar: Similarities 1) They are both performed within a MMORPG setting 2) Both have a “trapped within a game” theme 3) Both have crazy similar art styles 4) Both have imitate character interactions 5) Both animes of survival and both show adaptation to their environment they are set within 6) Both done by A-1 pictures 7) “Once you’re killed, you’re killed” In other words, “You only live once” 8) Both consist of tragic elements Differences 1) SAO is depicted as just a game, meaning that the game is just an illusion and only takes dominance over the mind. There’s a separation between the game and the real life individual. Grimgar, however, is the contrary. The environment Grimgar is put within is the “real world” and it’s the world they must adapt into living within. 2) Grimgar has a more serious tone to its plot. SAO is very light weighted. 3) SAO has a harem, Grimgar doesn’t 4) SAO - There is a reason and a build up as to why the players are stuck within their world Grimgar – They all face amnesia, with no clue where they came from; they’re just there.  read more 

I suspect you already know why. Both are in set in another world and have similarities as to what an MMORPG game would seemingly be like. Characters are stuck in a new world, and will need to learn to understand and survive in their new surroundings. 

Do you love the MMORPG atmosphere that SAO gave to you? If your answer is yes, then you have to watch Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. The show portrays how normal people learn to adapt to an MMORPG-like fantasy world (the show portrayed it so perfectly and it quickly became one of my favorites!). The anime also shows beautiful character development and growth. This short paragraph just cannot picture how magnificent this show is, you just have to watch it for yourself to understand what I mean. 

Both genres take place in an RPG-like setting. Whereas, Sword Art Online occurs in a virtual world, Hai to Gensou no Grimgar occurs in a "real-world" setting, eliminating the overpowered skill sets and main character plot armor which prevents a realistic struggle for the characters and plot progression. Overall, Hai to Gensou no Grimgar is a phenomenal spectacle, a true gem hidden in the sand. 

Botha nime have the video game/RPG elemnt to the game. This one differs that it`s a bit more violent than SAO. This anime is short so its not very demanding and hopefully can become something big later on. 

Each of the two contains op mcs yet SAO exceeds the other when it comes to battle scenes. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar is darker than SAO yet both contain great drama and romantic scenes. SAO is more focused in romance but you can also see some romantic scenes in Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. Both are great anime, but I recommend Hai to Gensou no Grimgar better than the other. 

Both take place in fantasy world that people are suddenly transported into. Grimgar is a realistic take on a fantasy world and the logistics of acquiring skills and stuff like that. Grimgar as a somewhat darker and mature tone for those who like that.  

Same character transfer in a mmo fantasy world. Tragique. 

Both end up in diff world, start weak. 

In both anime people or stuck in a fantasy world and try to find a way out. Kill or be killed, when you die you die. No extra lifes. Adventure anime where you have to get stronger in order to survive A sense of mystery; How did they get go grimgar? Why did Akihiko Kayaba trap them inside his game? 

In both series, the characters are stuck in an other world and have to fight monsters to survive. But this won't be easy... 

Both are Fantasy animes about adventurers who fight goblins, goblins,goblins, goblins and even more goblins, in both the fights against the goblins are very intense in are never easy for the adventures. 

while they both have a similar concept of a brutal depiction of adventuring, i do question whether goblin slayer will have any good characters that are likable to keep me watching like grimgar? grimgar was able to keep my attention week after week by contrasting that with nice comfy tone. so we'll see how goblin slayer turns out, and if its got anything more than just "edge"? so if you like goblin slayer i'd say give grimgar a go, i dug it. 

Both the shows are set in a dark fantasy setting with killing goblins as their main focus. Also, both the shows are really violent and share similar artstyles. If you like one of these series, you're sure to like the other.  

Both take place in a dark fantasy setting. Instead of the magic, romance, and fluff of most contemporary fantasy/isekai, they focus on the struggle to survive in such a setting, without glossing over the death and violence. 

Both have hardships and problems faced by low-level adventurers. Fantasy Environment with the slaying of monsters.  

People think goblins are week in both anime 

Grimgar was a superior Goblin Slayer long before Goblin Slayer got an anime adaptation. It took a realistic and deliberate if at times overly melancholic view of an adventuring party in a gritty reality where they have to constantly worry about how to budget their meager adventurer income and where combat and killing are given proper weight and respect, with detailed and moving facial expressions that capture the gravity of their moments, all of which are wrapped in a hauntingly beautiful and picturesque watercolor aesthetics. No rape though. If you just want that, don't half-ass it, go full H. I'm told Kuroinu has what you're looking for. read more 

>Same realistic battle system in a fantasy world >Totally a game setting but not really >Great interactions between the characters While the character interactions are great, apart from Goblin Slayer there is not really a unique character so far Both have kind of similar art style (maybe I only think that).  

Both shows involve a party of members dealing with quests that primarily involve killing goblins. Both shows also focus a lot on the characters rather than outside events  

Both are fantasy anime focused on low levelled adventurers and how brutal it can be while fighting low levelled monsters. 

Both have a similar concept of a brutal depiction of adventuring, but one one is the baddest since it doesn't pull any punches when it come to starting the 1st episode with a good brutal start.  

Their both fantasy anime that follow low leveled adventures that fight against low leveled monsters. The main difference with these 2 shows are that Grimar has a lighter tone and aesthetic while Goblin Slayer has a more darker tone. 

- they both have much to do with cruelty, sadness, a very dangerous and cruel world. - GOBLINS! - although not all the characters are alike, they are very similar. So, if you enjoyed goblin slayer, then this is a treat for you ;) 

grimgar is basically just a PG goblin slayer. Should also have slice of life genre too imo  

Goblin Slayer is kinda like Grimgar exept a lot darker. Grimgar starts off as a more realistic isekai anime and Goblin Slayer is not an isekai but it functions very similarly to one. A large part of Grimgar involves the whole gang stratigically taking out a bunch of goblins. And that's pretty much all they do in Goblin Slayer. At the core they're both darker and more realistic fantasy shows with a lot of goblins. 

Both anime share the same setting where both are fantasy worlds filled with random creatures, monsters, and magic. They both share great character and social development within the characters of the story. They both have the same approach when it comes to gore as it's realistic and painful and it's up to you to judge which of these 2 has the better gore. They both have a similar approach to adventure and fantasy as the anime shows give you a feeling that it's realistic even though it's fantasy. 

What's the one defining feature both of these anime have? Well, you guessed it. It's about slaying goblins! Not only do these series tell us how fearsome these vile creatures truly are, they also show the dire consequences whenever they aren't kept in check. Both anime also use goblins as a unique way to tell a story about overcoming hardship.  

Both explore the darker, more realistic aspects of a medieval era infested by monsters. Both reinforce the "kill or be killed" mentality. This is a real world. Mortality is fragile. Mistakes are made, and people die for them. Not everyone has the mental fortitude to accept that. 

Both anime have emphasis on goblin slaying as the main job for the party, in both anime we have good amount of screen time of the priest job for a fantasy world party 

In both people are somehow moved into a fantasy game looking world. Emotions are playing main role. 

Adventure, action and fantasy. These two anime excelled in these three aspect which makes Hai to Gensou no Grimgar as enjoyable as an anime to watch when compared to Log Horizon. In both anime, the 'players' are involuntarily brought to a world where you would expect of a typical RPG Fantasy game, in a very typical anime. The 'players' adapt to the world they are trapped in, while searching for ways to escape the very one that they were brought into. What is different in Hai to Gensou no Grimgar is the approach it takes to the otherwise cliched genre of anime, which has a little serious, realistic and gloomy vibes to it. Not the kind you would expect of a fantasy anime. read more 

Similar 'trapped in a fantasy game' concepts with a focus on the characters and world rather than action/adventure, where most of the main characters are all part of a guild or party. Both have elements of memory loss as well. There is one very major difference which is also a huge spoiler to LH, which affects both stories quite a bit. Basically, the plots are extremely different, but the settings, themes, and characters are almost identical. 

Both anime feature a group of characters who are stuck in a rpg mmo world without knowing how or why they are there. Both anime do a good job of focusing on the characters and how they adapt to their situation.  

If you like Isekai in witch the OP have consequence to there action and that the world is not giving them everything 

The two series have a very similar feeling to each other. Both series feature groups of thoughtful people trying to survive in what is believed to be a video game. Log Horizon focuses more on politics and world order. The protagonists are also a very strong and respected in the community. Log Horizon also has a larger number of featured characters. Grimgar is mostly about group survival, not just in fighting, but also in being able to afford their life. The protagonists struggle to scrape by because they are pretty weak. Grimgar also has more detailed art. 

Trapped in game, and both characters are work hardly for going back to the real world .. 

- Both are adventure and action anime - Both MC attracts surroundings characters... - Both anime use middle- age fantasy style - Both use Guild, Party, Skills system like in MMORPG's... - Both have cute & serious moments.. - Must Watch series 

Both have the same story plot were it involves people stuck in a virtual world , and have to used their wits and stay with each other in order to survive. 

Both approach the "trapped in a video game/fantasy world" story type from a slightly different angle. While they certainly have combat scenes, they focus much more on the other aspects of being in that kind of situation. Dealing with living and adapting to this new world, the political aspect of things, forming stronger character bonds. Also neither of them focus very much on "escaping" from the world they're in either. 

a situation very similar  

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar and Log Horizon have primarily a common feature: the Setting, a familiar fantasy RPG world. Both parties were send to an fantasy world. Caught up in the adventure how to handle everydayness. Both shows put the focus a little more on the Characters and their interaction so that they become really tangible and you increasingly identify with the characters. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar does a little different by making no references to whether it is a video game or not. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar convinces with background art in impressionistic style that evokes reminiscent of Paul Cézanne's paintings. On the other hand does Log Horizon leave a greater impression in relation to the character development and their interaction. Not only due to twice as much episodes the cast explores more deeply the fantasy world, they are also inspired by the will to return. Sorry, to me the headline is upside down. In my opinion this recommendation should be, if you liked Hai to Gensou no Grimgar you will enjoy Log Horizon even more. But both shows are worth seeing although (IMO) Log Horizon just is a little better. read more 

These are very serious isekai focused on the main character's thoughts and feelings throughout the whole series. Whereas Log Horizon is more focused on the strategy, Hai to Gensou no Grimgar is more focused on all the characters' feelings and relationship throughout very difficult times. Both of them are perfectly well executed and have a slow pacing. 

Both talk about transferred to another world. Both MCs take the role of a party leader 

similar setting although hai to gensou no grimgar is more drama oriented and struggles more in the new environment.  

Both series are about a group of adventures in a new world trying their best to grow stronger and survive, while also growing closer together as a non-blood related family. Both anime also have other groups of adventures, who have a much stronger base strength then the main party. Each one of these anime is great for its own reason. Grimgar is great for it's more slice of life feel while the main group grows closer, while Shield Hero is great for it's more lively adventure feel and also it's characters.  

both are mature isekai that show the hardship and the ugly side of fighting monsters in another world 

Both have weak mc in the beginning stages where they start to learn from 0. 

Contains main cast who are generally ill-received (and considered worthless) by the population at first, and must work their way up in order to gain acceptance. MC's also learns the values of working as a team 

It has the same plot where a group of people were transported into another world, however in Hai to Gensou, the group of people there had to team up if they were to survive while in Tate no Yuusha, the group of people there were competing against one another , but it was mostly with the one whom was an outcast that has to prove that he is nobody to mess with.  

Both have the MC randomly transported in a world and being unsure of why. Then they are told what they have to do in this world. Both are set in similar places, with a city center with people selling items. 

both are isekai anime both are more realistic and mature than other isekai anime the focus of both are to survive as a group 

Both "isekais" are very similar in genres.  

In both titles MC ends up in RPG-themed fantasy world. Also both are airing at the same time. The main difference is that Konosuba is more comedy, while Grimgar is more serious. 

Both show take place in an MMORPG like world. 

- They are both fantasy. - KonoSuba is much more comedic. - Both don't have any interesting fights going on. 

Both feature a MC trying to cope with a new world that is based on a RPG. However KoNoSuBa is far less gritty and devestating as Ashes of Grimgar. Consider KoNoSuBa to be the comedic version of Grimgar meant to be enjoyed in the pursuit of laughter where Grimgar offers you a more realistic view and makes you deal with hardship.  

Well the fun stuff is Both of the MCs are like teleported/brought to a fantasy world.Both of them is adaptation from MMORPG genre.IF you are the fan of MMORPG anime stye then you might like it  

-fantasy world -same season -Konosuba more comedy, Grimgar more drama  

RPG-like environment. In Grimgar, the story is dramatic and serious plot while Konosuba has comedic plot. The story is kinda similar. A must-see anime series. 

- Both take realistic standpoints in the Isekai Genre. - Both show the dark realities of their summoned world. 

Both shows are fantasy isekai's that put a main focus on character development, and world building. They are also both extremely visually stunning and beautiful.  

Pretty similar in some ways, like being more realistic and serious in some aspects. 

Mushoku Tensei and Grimgar are both slow paced and grounded isekai that focuses more on character development. 

They both introduce you in a particular world without explanations, both seem quite simple later in both series there are important and dramatic plot twist. Both share similar artstyle. The main difference is the feeling of esploration that is basically absent from grimgar. Grimgar is more focused about surviving, having a quiet life and interpersonal relationships and development (not cheap romanticism but self development). 

Both seems quite simple and a tranquility later in both series. They all have beautiful and gorgeous landscapes as well as a little bit guro and dramatic plot twist. Both have same art style but Made in Abyss has a more tendency in Chibi to satisfy any age users. No exploration factor in Grimgar, it focused more on completing specific quests. Grimgartalks about suvival factors while telling us the beautiful everyday life of all characters together, a bit slice of life, on friendship and self development through main char's vision. Hope the romanticism will appear in another season of Grimgar while Made in Abyss made it really well throughout the development in friendship between Greg and Riko. read more 

A visually spectacular story in a strange, wonderful, and dangerous fantasy world full of mysteries, which reveals itself to be much darker than it's appearance indicates. 

Both of these shows tosses the main cast into an unknown and mysterious world, where they share both share a more realistic reaction to their environments. 

not OP main character set in hard and "grindy" type of game group of players trying to survive not a harem 

Similarities: -Specific group of students got transported to an alternate game like world, where the name of the game is "Survival." -Same group of students whom later adapted themselves into that alternate world. Dissimilarities: Hai to Gensou -Players were stuck there until such time. 100-Man, -Players can go home after competing the task.  

-Both can be considered an isekai deconstruction. -In both we see an atypical protagonist, without being OP, but in 100-man Yotsuya is more intelligent and selfish, while in Grimgar, Haruhiro is more someone with an inferiority complex and internal conflicts. -The two series show us a group of 'heroes' who are not really powerful. -None of the two series goes by the harem trope, or so it seems. -Death is a real danger in both series. 

After the "trapped in a video game/fantasy world" genre has long since been tired out, these two add a refreshing spin to that idea. Grimgar takes a much more serious and "real" tone to it, making the characters and scenarios much more believable and gripping, while Re:Zero's "gimmick" is something that hasn't really been done in it's genre before, and adds a lot of layers and depth to it's story. These two anime treat their viewer and stories with respect, and deliver similarly high drama (but not at all forced), genuinely intense experiences. 

One of the best anime of the year 2016, without a doubt. After the episode 8-9 you can not stop watching so exciting and exciting that the anime is. 

This is not a typical isekai like OP characters. The character development of both series are well construct. Love it! 

Both series show a leader passing down the torch to another person. 

I think most people will find that this is Kind of a stretch, but I think that if you liked From Then New World or Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, you would like the other. Both being based off of a novel, the books have a similar theme and a group of close friends who develop together with time. Grimgar as a RPG kind of anime is unique from it's kind as in it gives the goblin monsters the have to kill human traits. They put up quite a fight, and this is similar to the queerats of From the New World. Add some dramatic character losses and a slight dystopian survival theme, I hope people would see that these shows are actually quite similar despite their different genres. read more 

Both series have an element of beauty and a hint of sadness within the story. The animation in both series are very similar in a breathtaking sense. The soundtrack is amazing so far as well. Both have children protagonist that set out to explore their worlds and although they seem innocent, there seems to be a underlying plot that is in the works. 

They both hurt 

The Art style is similar. Especially, how they both feel isekai-ish 

Both anime with almost identical setting and premise. (VR Fantasy setting game world, heroes trapped in this game). Both have top class soundtracks & lovable characters.  

It's similar in the way the characters interact with each other as friends and as a team. Both also have girls that use magic. Trust me on this one, if you liked Madoka, you'll like Grimgar as well. 

Are you ready to find yourself somewhere you've never been before abandoning your true self, having lack of memory and being both a hunter and a prey at the same time? With Imawa no Kuni no Alice being with a lot darker conception behind, Grimgar sure has a lot of similarities to it and potential for a good survival themed series and a good storyline  

It has a similar feel to it. In both we have a group of people gathered in some unfamiliar place, which seems a bit off for them, with no recollections of the past. In both at one point or another their pasts start catching up to them. And in both the characters must get to work as soon as they get there in order to survive. Also both have this warm, yet melancholic and for some reason uneasy feeling about them.
