This is a must see once you see it you will see why
Similar protagonists, both voiced by the same seiyuu, Rie Kugimiya.
Awesome anime! The characters in general are one of the best parts of this anime.
Shana = Louise, not just the same voice but exactly the same personality.
These two are ALOT alike. Both have lolicon characters doing the main role, both fall in love but are too shy to talk about it and both have a bit idiotic guys they like :P
both shows are fiction-based, and both contain protagonist that are female with flat chest, which is where the humor comes in. both are good show, but zero no tsukaima is funnier. on the negative side, both have shitty endings, but its they are still worth watching
Featuring Rie Kugimiya and Satoshi Hino in similar leading roles, Shakugan no Shana and Zero no Tsukaima tell the story of male high school students drawn into the unfamiliar and encountering flat-chested, ill-tempered girls. While both shows are produced by the same studio and based on a series of light novels, Zero is meant to be more fun and light-hearted compared to Shana.
Main character personalities are very much the same and the whole show has the same feel
louise = kugimiya rie = shana
tsundere protagonist that's good at beating the crap out of their love interest and defeating some enemies (louise blows them up while shana slices them down). they also have huge tendencies to become jealous and is very much possessive of their love interests.
saito = saoshi hino = yuuji
forced to adapt to change after being thrust to live in a different aspect of life (saito was hurled in a new world and yuuji found out he was dead). they do their best to protect their love interest. generally idiotic/dense and are easily attracted by other women which results in them being punished by their love interests (saito receives the whip while yuuji receive urusai)
Some of the voice actor are the same... Shana and louise got the same Personality. Romance and other stuff....
Louise -> Kugimiya Rie <- Shana
They are both Tsundere protagonist that are good at beating the crap out of their love interest and defeating some enemies, Louise blows them up while Shana cuts them down with a fiery sword. They also become jealous easily and are very much possessive of their love interests.
Saito -> Saoshi Hino <- Yuuji
Both are forced to adapt after being thrust to live in a different aspect of life, Saito was hurled in a new world, and Yuuji found out he was no longer alive and that he is just a replacement. They do their best to protect their love interest. Both are generally idiotic or dense and are easily attracted by other women which results in them being punished by their love interests. Saito receives more physical abuse, countless beatings with a whip from Louise. While Yuuji on the other hand receives a more verbal one, Shana's tendency to lash out urusai upon urusai.
I also recommend Zero no Tsukaima.
They're EXACTLY the same..
nd they both also have awsomeness.
Same seiyuus, same studio, same style.
it's really similar....
for example
-the love triangle between 1 boy and two girls
-magic related anime
-the boy meets the magical girl then bacomes related to the girl
The first similarity is probably the character's personalities, the very flashy and colorful art and a great mix of romance comedy, action and supernatural.
Same voice actor and Louise and Shana got alot in common.
Shakugan no Shana is more action based.
Both male & female character from Zero no Tsukaima and Shakugan no Shana have the same seiyuu..
Shana = Kugimiya Rie = Louise
Yuuji = Satoshi Hino = Saito
Both Shana and Louise are tsundere characters too... Shana likes Yuuji, and Louise likes Saito ...
If you want the romance + battle anime , watch both of them , you'll like it... Even though Shakugan no Shana has more battle, and Zero no Tsukaima has more romance...
Not only are there a lot of the similar cast, but also Louise and Shana both act alike. They both always go "shut up! shut up! shut up!". They also are very violent towards the guy they like (Saito and Yuugi) and they seem to be semi-oblivious about it (like you think they notice, and then they dont). It also both involves magic and fighting.
Well, for a start the protagonists for both have the same Seiyuus along with the same tsundere, loli main female role - the same jealousy. BUT, Zero has (in my opinion) a better romantic character development, though this may just be due to Shakugan no Shana being unfinished. It has more humour and action, if you 'like' Shakugan no Shana you will 'love' Zero no Tsukaima.
Characters and feel of the show are shared between these two shows.
Shana and Louise basically have the same personality. If you enjoyed Shana's cuteness, firey attitude, shyness, and her unawareness of the emotion called "love" you will love Zero no Tsukaima.
The plot in these two stories are very different, but the character relations are very similar. How are they similar? Well lets just say the female character dominates the male character....=/
I've never seen such a close comparison:
Shakugan no Shana
Talking amulet
Love between powerful girl and someone no longer human which whishes to become stronger.
Zero no Tsukaima
Talking sword
Love between powerful girl and someone no longer huma which wishes to become stronger.
Of course, Louise (main girl of ZnT) and Shana have the same seiyuu.
I think this is just the tip of the iceburg.
Very similar in many ways. Main female characters have the same personality and fall for the main male character.
the mood and characters are pretty much similar. Girl falls for boy boy falls for girl. The girl however is pretty stubborn, but it all works out. If you liked this, youll definately like Zerno tsukaima, vise versa
Both are very similar.
Have the same synchro and the same character - qualities.
In these animes aim is to fight the evil ... whether with magic or a sword.
But the love is not too short and in both animes.
The anime also has what funny, the comedy is there, too.
These are very very similar.
shana and louise have the same voice actor and yuji and saito have the same voice actor too.
not only that, shana and louise has EXACTLY same personality and they fell in love with the main MALE character (aka yuji/saito) .
So if you like Shakugan no Shana, you would like Zero no Tsukaima. :D
There are little issues what resemble each others. In Zero no Tsukaima is talking sword, in Shakugan no Shana is talking amulet (+ book). In Zero no Tsukaima the maincharacter girl is powerful and fanatic, so in Shakugan no Shana. In Shakugan no Shana the maincharacter boy has got thought little... accident and is following the girl. Also, he want to become stronger. And so is in Zero no Tsukaima too.
And also, Shana and Louise has the same seiyuu, but also Saito and Yuuji has the same one so if you just listen to them, it's hard to tell which anime you're watching now.
Characters are very similar. The voice actors are also the same.
Similar character relations and similar characters voiced by the same seiyuus. Powerful girl + guy who wants to become stronger. Both shows have quite the same feelings and I loved both of them.
-In both storys the mainchara is thrown out of his normal world
-2 girls fight over his love
-The guy gains great strength
Not only do they both star a prepubescent girl who’s supposedly very powerful, but her power hasn’t been fully awaken yet, they also feature a clueless guy who basically follows her orders. And of course they both somehow fall in love with each other, but have a hard time expressing so.
Actually, they're very similar. Main characters are really alike. The way they defeat enemies, all about proud, love and attitude. They're both awesome series.
Both female main characters are the strong ones. The guy main character starts off weak. However, unlike Zero no Tsukaima, it's not really a harem... since only two girls like the guy.
Same Seiyuus for the main characters...
Saito and Louise have pretty much in common with Yuji and Shana.
This two shows are essentially the same in every aspect aside from the setting. You have your male lead who is powerless and the female lead that looks down on him because of his lack of power at first. The male then becomes stronger in order to protect the female all the while getting abused and whipped by the female... and eventually they fall in love. Even the voice actors of both the male and female leads are the same people in both shows. If you have watched Shana, and you start to watch Zero, you will be expecting an "Urusai Urusai Urusai" at just about every point int the show. it's a little disappointing that it never comes :)
If you liked Shana, you will like Zero no Tsukamia and vice versa. There is no ands, ifs, or buts.
Same main voice actors :P
Shana and Louise are tsundere type
It a fantasy story in both.
Two worlds meet and clash together !
Comedy, Romance and Action are mostly similar !
Both series were enjoyable =]
The two main characters share the same voice actors. Shana is also a tsundere like Louise; looking at one reminds me of the other.
Both of them shares the same seiyuus, contains a Tsundere as the lead character, similiar character developments, same enjoyment, etc.
Zero no Tsukaima has more ecchi,comedy,and medieval settings. while Shakugan no Shana has more battles and modern settings.
If you like Shakugan no Shana, Zero no Tsukaima is highly recommended unless you're an anti-ecchi.
and if you liked Zero no Tsukaima, Shakugan no Shana should be fine for you.
both guys get a new way of life after meeting the girl,they are both special and both girls have the same character and almost the same looks so you'll get almost the same feeling from both animes....
They seem to have the same air to them, plus Shana and Louise have similar personalities, But as you find out their abilities are quite different.
If you like little annoying girl with magical abilities who is very loud and loves a normal boy (main character) and humiliates him because of that, it's the best thing you can get if we speak about anime. In addition, both of them (Louise Zero & Shana) are shown as very strong warriors or with secret power but in the course of time we can see their helplessness (but in the end they save the world anyway)
the main charecturs are all alike ther ...even thesame voice actors
Shakugan no Shana has a lot of similarities to Zero no Tsukaima: From seiyuu's (Rie Kugimiya, Satoshi Hino, Ayako Kawasumi), flat-chested loli's with great power (Louise, Shana), almost useless guys but with hidden power (Saito, Yuji), love rivals that are completely opposite to the main character (Siesta, Kazumi), magical elements and, of course, romance. Both anime's has also its own atmosphere that would make you love them for its differences.
Both are ecchi anime with some fighting and have about 90% of the same cast.
both female protagonist gets to have a weaker guy by their sides...though these guys are actually the source of their strength...shana and louise also have the same level of "strictness" and behavior when jealous...zero no tsukaima focuses more on magic and sorcery while shakugan no shana involves god-likes and soul eaters...or something like that

Both are have heavy shounen plot lines mixed with a variety of mythological allegories and a dash of romance. I personally find Shana to be the superior, especially in the romance an umour department, nut F/SN has better fights and mythological connections. Both are great shounens that are not to long, like some of the very popular ones, and are excellent choices if you want a lighter anime with fights and love.
Key factors in the Genre, similar plotlines.
Action-packed anime with magic-girl as leading cast heavily supported by a guy who only looks out for her safety.
if you've seen fate sty night, then you should also see
shakugan no shana
the 2 anime are base on destroy something to acquire something.us It's all about normal people who have to fight even if they dont want to.
Sword Wielding Otherworldly female main characters that are overly obsessed for their duty who eventually fall for a poor unsuspecting man who accidentally met them and feel a duty to protect the female cast. To make it even better, in both anime the main female characters have no clue how love should feel and are confused =P.
Similar kind of action and romance rooted in a developed backstory.
A similar feel, tone, and setting.
Both series start off featuring a male lead whose life is (mostly) normal, until that one moment where he ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, which results in the addition of a female sword-wielding partner and a battle of life or death. Also in both is a latent ability hidden within each of the male leads not fully exploited until the arrival of said partner, an ability that, when finally tapped, proves useful for overcoming the obstacles each side must face.
Powerful girl + weak guy who strives to become stronger. Romance + action + fantasy
Magic, fighting, colourful art. They both have em and are great watches. Although Fate Stay Night gives off a more colder feel than Shakugan no Shana.
In both, the boy's world is suddenly turned upside down upon meeting a supernatural being that almost had him killed but got saved by a girl, with magical powers, wielding a sword and great fighting skills. This marked the begining of a bizzare relationship.. Also you will find that the boy is also special that caused them to live in a world far from the ordinary
Both are cute girls who battling with sword
Both have a main character who by coincidence (?) found out about secrets of our world by meeting a dutiful female main character with a sword who slowly opens up towards the main character.

In both of these series the lead boy is made to be with to the lead girl due to reasons revolving around magic. Also, the story lines are both based around magic and the like.
Both are set in a world that is quite normal on the first look (one is a bit more futuristic though) but involve supernatural occurrences, like magicians or people with abnormal powers.
The atmosphere is quite similar, though the plot of Shakugan no Shana is a lot darker/heavier at the start of the show.
To Aru is basically SnS with magic instead of swords or the other powers and a bit more comedy. Animation is quite similar, due to the fact both anime are by JC Staff. Not that it matters, but the openings are also by the same person. Overall, To Aru simply gave off a similar vibe to SnS.
Very similar style and has many similarities. If you like one of these, you will definitely like the other.
Shana and Index are both made from the same staff team. Both are J.C Staff productions and they share a lot of similarities in terms of animation. And both their OP songs are from Kawada Mami, which sang both of the first Shakugan no Shana OPs.
The shows give a very similar feel to each other. Neither should be missed.
Both are from the same staff team, both are similar in animation and plot (kinda) Both have OPs sung by the same person.
Supernatural main girl, guy with hidden powers and similar plot ^^
Hmm ..... smilar story line , similar heroes but this time guy is a big hero , of course exist little romantic plot . That anime is very good in my opinion , one of the best i this Fall ....
To Aru Majutsu no Index is on a higher level than Shana at .. well.. everything. But they deal with similar eerie and supernatural situations, have teenagers which get in these weird moments that change their live's forever. Though some characters are similar, both shows are different on a lot of things, but they share the same feeling when watching them.
Main female protagonist with special powers + male protagonist with hidden powers. Maguc + relationships. Both shows share the similar feeling.
Both shows have very similar art. Both have opening songs sung by Mami Kawada. Plot is similar as new people with new supernatural powers keep coming and affect protagonists in some way. Extremely similar feel.
I love J.C. Staff and Index is just like Shana without the tsundereness. Character designs are very similar in these two animes. It's just more J.C. Staff goodness. Can't get enough of J.C. Staff.
The magic battles, the character types, the humor....
I don't know what else I should list.
And there's of course the Shana-tan and Index-tan specials.

Both series contain ancient magic and a pretty long, red-haired girl with a flaming sword that kicks bad guy butt.
Both main Characters can summon fire and are really noisy.
The main heroines wield a sword and have fire powers which they use to take care of supernatural creatures.
FLAMES!!!!! Romance plays a big part in some of the story, It was also taken fro ma light novel. okay im bad at this... but just trust me Shakugan no Shana shares a whole boatload with this anime
Wow, my favourites anime. Let see Shana is similar to Ayano.
They use fire and get upset very often...
Both series talks about a girl and her everyday life. Also, both Shana as Ayano port a fire sword that make they very similar is their fight style.
They both involve violent heroines that have a thing for their partners. Shana and Ayano also both weild fire swords. They both involve magic, fighting, and romance. Shana and Ayano both get jealous easily.
As soon as I started watching Kaze no Stigma, it made me think of Shakugan no Shana. Both main characters are similar, with their flaming tempers, and love for fighting. They may differ in some but both put a great magical fighting story.
Both female protagonists fight with flaming swords. Both are romance + magic
Both have female chars with red hair and a fire sword. They both kill monsters and have a crush on main male char. Although the main male char in KNS actually fights unlike Sakai Yugi
Same type of main characters (Shana and Ayano are exactly the same, they even look similar), comedy, romance and action
The main characters (Shana and Ayano) have a similar personality. Both are tsundere, have a flaming sword, and are strong female leads.Both series have many fights, a bit of fanservice and romance. In my opinion, Shana is much better, though.

Two works by J.C. Staff containing Rie Kugimiya in a leading role and a typical tsundere female lead.
Both are very similar.
Have the same synchro and the same character - qualities.
Synchro~ Kugimiya Rie - Taiga - Shana
In these animes is about love.
The anime also has what funny, the comedy is there, too.
The relation between the characters might turn out the same :) And also the seiyuu of Taiga is the same person as Shana's .
Good Stuff!!! Very good stuff! Non Dopamine addictive substance; Gets you hooked!!
The lead female characters are similare and the male characters too kinda!! and the relationship development/ set up give the same feel.
These are highly recomended!
Similar female protagonists, same seiyuu. Both have romance, while Toradora! has more comedy and Shakugan no Shana has more magic. Awesome shows!
I would say Shana and Taiga are the same kind of girl who looks pissed off all the time, but once they open their hearts to people they start to realize how soft and cute they can be. So if you just can't get enough from that type of girl, here you go my friend.
If you enjoyed the relationship between Shana and Yuuji in Shakugan no Shana, but were disappointed with the development and treatment of that relationship, Toradora! is what you're looking for! Toradora! does relationship development right: the characters are actually aware of the changes occuring in their feelings and relationships, events that happen in one episode still mean something in later episodes, and the emotional moments are dramatic and powerful.
Where Shakugan no Shana had potential, Toradora! comes through. This is tsundere romance at its best.
Rie Kugimiya is the voice actress for both Taiga && Shana, and both characters are very alike. They are both romance && school life types of anime.
Both of the main characters share a very similar relationship for most of the series. However, Shakugan no Shana contains combat, whereas Toradora! does not.
same graphics chracter is also about a boy and a girl except this one is about high school life lol both real similar chracter styles
Same seiyu for both of main heroines. And both animes have the same annoying love story, though Shana in much less irritating than Taiga.

Supernatural and a ordinary guy with extraordinary power :)
The main male character meets a girl with extraordinary power, both anime are very similar in some way that i can't really explain it >
The atmosphere (battles and other) is quite similar with villains popping out and a black/red-haired girl intruding on the days of an innocent male.
Oedinary guy meets a supernatural girl and at some point they start to fight together. Similar atmosphere
Very similar. At first I thought it was done by the same studio, but I was wrong. Now a "ordinary" guy meets a girl with supernatural powers. In Shakugan this "ordinary" human, Yuuji, is the compartment of the Reiji Maigo, in Kurokami it is yet unknown what role does Ibuki Keita plays, but he "isn't a ordinary human" like Excel says on episode 4. The girl with supernatural powers is forced to stay near the human boy. In Shakugan because Shana has to keep a eye on the Reiji Maigo and in Kurokami because if Kuro doesn't stay close to Keita her fighting abililies decay due to the contract they made. Lastly the "world balance"concept is the main similarity present in both animes, in different yet similar ways. In Shakugan people gets eaten by Guze no Tomogaras and has to be replaced with "torches" for sake of balance. In Kurokami a person's soul divided in 3 parts, each one containing a porcentage of luck (50%, 30%, 20%) to maintain a balance in the world. Yet people try to consume their other part to have as maximium luck as possible. A "Flames Haze" maintains that balance in Shakugan no Shana and a "Mototsumitama"does sort of the same in Kurokami.
Both are about a male who get's caught up in trouble because of being around a strange godlike girl. They both are fairly action packed as well.
Shakugan no Shana and Kurokami both are packed with action and a bit of comedy. Romance is a big thing in Shana, though. Both are filled with a powerful girl and a weak boy who both eventually strive to become stronger to protect the ones they care about.
Main girl char does the fighting, and the main guy char supports the girl char in fights. Loads of random enemys.
They have very similar, if difficult to nail down, feel about them.
Both anime share the same types of characters : Tsundere with high power and an lonely boy.
Both anime share a lots of rebound in the story and high fighting rhythm.
Boy & Girl partners in the quest of justice, and some lovey-dovey stuff

Middle school girl with a sword and "magical" powers
Sword fighting, magic and stuff. Pretty similar to Bleach, with a bit of added drama. Definitely a must watch.
Both male leads meet mysterious girls who have knowledge of things beyond the normal world. Flame Hazes are basically Shinigami and Torches are similar to ghosts.
Both is about the fight against the underworld of some sort, and the main characters both weild swords the plot is also similar in certain aspects, i'd recommed you watch it for yourself :), much more fun than for me to write spoils here ;).
Formula:
Shakugan no Shana = (Bleach*9/10) + Romance
well,
Shakugan no Shana - Bleach
Flame Haze - Shinigami
Tomogara - Arrancar
Rhinne - Hollow
Sakai Yuji - Kurosaki Ichigo
Shana - Kuchiki Rukia
Yoshida Kazumi - Inoue Orihime (both are annoying)
Ike - Ishida (both nerds though Ishida participates in fighting)
Personally, I prefer Shakugan no Shana as it has better looking characters than Bleach & it also includes some romance.

Key factors in the Genre, similar plotlines.
Very similar plot line. Shana just look hotter...that's all.
Basically starts off with both lead males getting killed and then fighting alongside the females that have saved them. And bad guys also feed off human life for the most part.
For both Busou Renkin and Shakugan No Shana are the ingredients swords and school boys and girls, along with a little romance between the main characters. Both Yuji and Kazuki try to do their best to protect the unknowing human society so that they can live on with their lives without getting killed. Although the story is completely different, they do share a lot resemblance, so if you liked the one, you will like the other.
In both anime's it starts with a boy and girl within a fight. Now both males have died within thus fight however both found a way to survive. It may be the midsumer nights child or the power of alchemy. Now these "Powers" allow both males to fight along side the stronger female characters. Both get hurt and endangered and leave it up to the female to save them.
The traits within the males are quite similar, both wish to be as useful and strong as possible. They then get strong enough to achieve their goal.
Both we're great anime's and are almost identical in multiple ways however differ enough to keep you away from that "same" feeling that would occur in the other.
They both have a Tsundere-Esque female however the love story is much more evident in No shana.

I find both of them very enjoyable! The heroins are sort-of the same, there's alot of action, fantasy and supernatural things in both. The only difference is that there's more romance in one of them. If you liked one, you'd like the other!
Heroins are similar. Stong willed and stubborn with a soft side. There is light comedy in both. The story and imagery are mysterious and dark. Chains are similar to Rinne - they eat people. One faction must stop another (Flame Haze vs. Guze - Pandora vs. Baskerville) There is a grip of action in both animes. If you liked SnS then you'll like Pandora Hearts.
Some people are unlikely to see the similarities, but they are clearly there in my eyes. Both anime have extremely unique looking characters and are very colourful. They have magic, supernatural stuff and all the products of creativity and imagination a mind can think of.
The fate of the main heroines are similar, they both depend on the youth to unleash their power, they share a passion for one type of food and also they are not fully human

Both have the same character designer, Noizi Ito. There are similar elements in both stories, such as the time-space continuum and the school life scenario.
While Suzumiya Haruhi put more slice of life 'school days' element, Shakugan no Shana put more action in it.
In The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Shakugan no Shana, a normal boy (Yuji and Kyon) is thrown into a completely abnormal world when they meet a girl with special powers (Haruhi and Shana). They both have elements of action, comedy, and romance; with Shana more on the action side and Haruhi Suzumiya more on the comedy side.
|
|
|
well, shana has TONS of action, complex (overdramatic) storylines; whilst kannagi is much more relaxed with nothing much happening except everyday things, however the main male protagnists are extremely similar in that they seem quite laid back average, nothing-much-going-on guys, who by some odd reason gets chased by some girls.
Normal guy + sudden supernatural girl appearance. While Shakugan no Shana has more action, both shows share romantic and magic elements.
Both have female leads with supernatural powers and have the male leads wrapped around their little fingers.
|
|
|
I kept thinking of this series while watching Shana, a boy/girl pair fighting evil, some cute romance, love triangles and lots of action (though there is no magic in FMP) but if you like one, you'll love the other!
girl is tough on the guy in the begging, but then likes him
both series are great because they combine romance/action
|
|
|
Both follow male protagonists fighting in different dimension zones. Shakugan no Shana and 11eyes both have dark undertones to their plot.
In both protagonists are fighting against some evil organization/group. Moreover - in both fights have place in other dimensions, even art of these are very similar.
|
|
|
This series are similar like SOLA, main character is a girl with superpower and SHANA are too.
Ordinary male lead + supernatural girl. Romance + fantasy.

Many people will probably see this as huge stretch since Bamboo Blade really isn't Magical type anime. The similarity lies in the two lead characters who are somewhat withdrawn and timid yet fiery and assertive when it comes to swordplay. While Shana is a mythical Flame Haze sent to regulate the balance of the spirit and physical world, Tamaki Kawazoe is a timid and innocent Kendo savant that is almost unbeatable on during a match. Both Tamaki and Shana both have to struggle to develop their maturing social lives and learn about the opposite sex. While there genre's are different other than the slice of life and comedy themes, I felt that both of these Animes possessed enough similarities to say that if you liked Bamboo Blade then you will probably like Shukugan no Shana. More so even then the second season of Shukugan no Shana which was filled with so much filler that I was getting angry by the sixth episode.
While not exactly similar genres, both protagonists are quite similar. Orion1 had some good points: "The similarity lies in the two lead characters who are somewhat withdrawn and timid yet fiery and assertive when it comes to swordplay. " and "Both Tamaki and Shana both have to struggle to develop their maturing social lives and learn about the opposite sex. " At least I enjoyed both anime to the fullest.

It's a bit of a stretch, but both shows are half fantasy/shounen and half harem/romance, and they both throw in a few epic battles and shocking plot twists that no one could see coming.
Both series deal with a low-level story line, similar art, similar style of how things work and the animation.
|
|
|
Same seiyuu Nagi - Shana.
Both heroines - Shana and Nagi - are part of "The four tsudere wonders". So if you like tsudere characters, you should watch them both.
|
|
|
All about battling beautiful girls, but in Sekirei the male prontagonist was weak person
|
|
|
Pretty similar anime. The main character is also a little girl with special power that enable her to fight for protecting another people.
Such as Sakura does, Shana finds a boy who will fight at her side and falls in love with him. The main trouble, besides the enemies (of course), is Shana/Sakura doesn't find the way to get as close as she wishes to her beloved one.
Hope you like it!

|
|
same genius idea about people that disappear when they die and everybody forgetting they was ever exist.
|
|
|
If you liked Polyphonica, you'll probably like Shana too. They are both very similar animes, although they have their differences too. Although, the main characters of both have crimson hair. LOL. And have the same kind of temper. Tsundere.
|
|
|
Boy teams up w/ loli girl, fall in love, same sieyuus for main char, but this is more serious
|
|
|
More grown up version or shakugan no shana. If you liked shana you will love this anime.
|
|
|
If you loved Kugimiya Rie voice acting, this is gonna be a treat.

Both anime has two main characters - kawaii girl with powerful abilities in pair with not-so-simple boy :) And, of course, they fight against world's worst evil powers, enemies and daemons - an ordinary thing for such type of anime i guess.
If you want more comedy and ecchi - you might see Inukami, I guarantee you laughing in all the series.
Shakugan no Shana for me is more tender in relationships and a little more complicated in story-line and plot.
ps Sorry for my bad english, I hope you could understand what I want to tell you by this recommendation. Have a nice day =^_^=

Another great action/magic/romance series. The plots, characters and ideas are very different in these two, but the series explore similar themes, so you'll like them both!
|
|
|
The magical fighting girl and the character development is very similar. Both shows make it very easy to fall in love with the characters and both have very interesting plots.
|
|
|
some aspects are similar - like the romance and general feel.
|
|
|
There's nothing really that similar but both has fights, the guy some sort of feelings for Shana/Shinku, both are comedy....... don't know what else but both of them are really good.

Both Seirei no Moribito and Shakugan no Shana are both action/adventure series combined with comedy and romance. They have action scenes that are very plot-driven, not dragging on for several episodes like other pure action series, and both have action sequences of great animation.

they both meet a girl with super powers............they both use guns , swords and have to deal with many strong and powerful enemies

Well both are supernatural anime. Ordinary guy meets supernatural girl. Both shows have romance, Shakugan no Shana has more action and Seto no Hanatome more comedy. Awesome shows!

They are both anti-heroines who are trying to, not save Earth, but make sure evil beings don't harm humans. They both were sent to Earth on a mission with fire as their element. Despite having no feelings for humans, they both befriend some and disguise themselves as school girls. There is also a dark motif where humans die, and Shana and Miyu don't feel any sorrow for their death. Also, they have a male compainion who helps them.

tons of actions scenes, crazy monsters which pop up, and complex political situations. also, love interest between 2 main characters, much more well done in kekkaishi though

Both Shakugan no Shana and Zero no Tsukaima have very similar relationships between the main hero and heroine, even their appearances and personalities are very similar. The personalities of secondary heroines are also almost identical in both animes. Both have the heroine and hero fighting side by side, with heroine controlling a stronger power and the hero acting as a bodyguard most of the time.

Both are action series from J.C. Staff featuring the Rie Kugimiya and Satoshi Hino pair. The male protagonists of both hold a special power and are thus thrown unwillingly into a dangerous new world. Both have a cute Katana-wielding female fighter, though Shakugan no Shana focuses on fights with magical Flame Haze and Tomogara while Nabari no Ou focuses on fights involving Ninjas.
