Alice is similar to Merry. Both are rude, they like sweets, they look like cats, they have strong characters, but they can be weak. They both have an unknown past.
Abyss and Dreamworld are similar worlds.
While there are some parallels between the plot lines and characters, the most striking similarity between these two shows is in the atmosphere. There is good comradery between the the characters and a gentle kindness that eminates from the protagonist of both shows. However, despite that there is a nagging creepiness which hangs in the background and a sense that all is not quite as it may first appear. The definitions of good and evil, write and wrong, seem to become complicated an lost in the varied perspectives of the characters.
Similar in art styles and fantasy concepts as well as the 'normal boy, mysterious girl' concepts. Same charming animation and plot.
The setting and characters are similar
Pandora hearts,
both anime have a similar feel
Merry and Alice are both unsure of their past and from another world.
The anime have a similar feel (though yumekui merry has less humour)
both have another world
In both Yumekui Merry and Pandora Hearts, the male lead who is fairly useless in combat makes a contract with a strong and amnesia-stricken tsundere female lead, and both shows have a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere.
They both are very fantasy related with an alternate world and creatures other than humans. They have very similar male main character, Oz is similar to Yumeji
PH: The Abyss and creatures called Chains
YM: The Dream World and Dream Demons
Both main female characters lost their memories. Both animes have another world that have powerful creatures. Ironically, both female characters are ridiculously strong in my opinion.
Both the main female character are similar in characteristics and the main male characters are also similar in a setting where is built with their imagination.

Dark Gothic animation when the story heads into the other world, intricate designs for the fighting girls outfits, not to mention dreams and erasing pain... the Anime are very similar in tone.
Both are like reality, dreams and nightmares, and battles just on the "other world", not in the real.
Alternative dream-like worlds where the characters or their alter-egos fight. Both are very colourful and beautiful.
the fights involves in the dream
• Similar drawing style
• Similar worlds, with an alternate 'universe'
• Dose eyes...
somewhat simular art. fighting nightmares
While BRS's alternate world is about grief and such, Yumekui merry's alternate world is about their dreams/passion. In both shows, the main character fights to help others without caring about themselves, occasionally losing friends.

Both Anime are featuring a male protagonist encountering a girl with supernatural abilities. They also share the setting in an another world and are produced by J.C. Staff. Merry also kinda reminds me of Shana
Both anime focus on a fairly normal boy who meets an extraordinary girl who's not from the world. They spend their time fighting monsters from the other world while falling in love with each other. Each of them have a heavy focus on the supernatural aspect. I don't think either of them are that good, but if you like one, you'll probably like the other.
It presents two different worlds with a lot happening in them, showing good battling evil. The fantasy theme on these anime was great, and the lead male are kinda alike with their boy-next door look.. The lead females are great.
Both anime series share the similar plot of fighting in a different world with a female partner. Additionally, there is action, drama, and comedy.
Although Yumekui Merry lacks romance, it makes it up with its unusual plot and later on, plot twists.
Recommended for both Shana and Merry fans.

Gothic anime geared towards a female audience with bright colors and a surreal other world only a select few can go into. There is a lot of angst and losing what one holds important and for each it is different.
They're in the same manga distribution in Japan, and not far off from one another on the Tokyo broadcast. In my honest opinion, they complement each other perfectly. Madoka Magica, however, is very dark, much more than Yumekui Merry. If you liked this anime without the occasional comedic relief, give it a shot.
I don't know why, but if you watch you'll understand. Their atmosphere are really close!

While both series of the supernatural have different plots and stories, one thing I found to be very similar was each others character design and atmosphere. If you liked the art and animation of Soul Eater, then you will most likely enjoy Yumekui Merry.
Same feel, similar art style and both has some touch of non-sense.
The art looks pretty similar and the partnership quality of the characters!! They are just really alike! Even the name is kinda the same yumekui means dream EATER and then SOUL EATER! Its the same style and a weird, twisted story.

Both series feature "master-servant" relationships where an ordinary human being is paired with a character who possess superhuman abilities. The pair is bounded, and the death of either side will greatly affect the other.
Battles occur behind the scenes, yet the the consequences are seen in the real world.
There are mystery elements in both cases, and character backgrounds are slowly unraveled through battles.
Both have main characters that meet a magical female character who fight others of their kind.

-Both animes are about working with their one and only partner that they searched or met coincidentally to be able to fight after getting involved
-Both builds a deep bond between the two
Both series contain supernatural elements with the main heroine being a strange girl with an unique talent.
There is a mystery like atmosphere surrounding both series involving this girl and as the episodes progresses, more depth of both series is explored. Then of course, there is action, fantasy,comedy, and drama. There's not so much romance so if you're looking for such a theme, then both series may disappoint.
Still though, both series are a great watch.

Both are directed by Yamauchi Shigeyasu and because this is some noticeable similarities between these two Animes, like dark scenaries and the protagonists which are wandering looking for answers to their existence.
Same director, so the action scenes and tone of the show are similar.
Main characters are very similar in their circumstances with impressive character design.
Some shots are nearly identical to Casshern Sins.

The main character finds themselves being shoved into an alternate wold that is Gothic and experimental in the way it is designed. The main characters also find themselves having to fight to survive said worlds.
Both main characters have magical eye. Both have been forcibly dragged into another world, where they have to fight to survive.

If you love this anime's story and actions, you will love Yumekui Merry, not just because they both have kinda similar art, both of them are really good
The Main characters look very much alike
Both shows have a 'Tachibana' who both look alike (hair, eyes, politeness etc.)
Both anime have the same feel to them bought about by the illuminating colour schemes
They don't have over stylised fight scenes
They're both very light-hearted (exception Angel Beats at the end)
And of course mysterious girl introduces main character to whole new world

Dreams and memories, the loss and gain of them. The Anime have similar styles and similar tones. There is also a lot of comedy built in along with the angst.
boy encountering a girl who is from the dream world and not a mortal, but a spirit. She can also devour other nightmare spirits and the boy tries to help her get back to her dream world

how an other-worldly female creature comes to the human world and a human male helps her hunt down monsters and lets her live with him. in Kami nomi zo shiru sekai Keima is forced to help Elssie hunt down loose souls, but Yumekui Merry Yumeji chooses to help her Merry hunt down dream deamons. and the character Tenri in Kami nomi zo shiru sekai is somewhat similar to the character Kounagi in Yumekui Merry, they both have a mystical female creature in them, Tenri has Dianna and Kounagi has Pati

There was a very similar feeling between the two, to me at least. But, both are supernatural, action, comedies.
Dream Eater Merry was more action oriented, where Kore wa Zombie desu ka seemed to focus more on the humor, and falls in to the harem genre.

It both has its darker themes and times. It also has a alice and wonderland kind of thing going on like it the ova of Kuroshitsuji. :)

Bleach has Shinigami and Hollows, Yumekui Merry has Dreams. Hollows who escape from Hueco Mundo are bad, and Dreams who escape the Dreamworld are bad. During Yumekui Merry, there are times when the exact same music from Bleach is used. Not all Dreams are bad though. Some of them fight against other Dreams to protect humans, like Shinigami do to Hollows.

Both series have similar story-line where a boy meets a girl out of a pure random event. The boy is then drag into the girl supernatural world. While working with each other, they will unravel the mystery of their past.

first of all, the fact that a girl came from another world and only remembers vague memories of her past, although they are different beings, their purpose is the same, to hunt down monsters. secondly, the main male character who takes responsibly and helps the girl to hunt and exorcise the monsters, and lets her stay with him. Also, the childhood friend that loves the main male lead. frankly, I'm surprised that nobody made this recommendation sooner

Although both series have different premises, they have fantasy themes involving a main male protagonist who gets involved with supernatural beings.
In both series, there is action, drama, and comedy.
There's also this sense of mystery regarding the origins/settings of the story.
The main male protagonist from both series also have similar personalities. They are also characters of high interest by other characters in the series as he seems to have hidden origins.

You can say Merry is very similar to Index, both stubborn at first. Not willing to let anyone help them out, but after a certain incident, the boy promises the girl to help no matter what. Little by little, the boy gets drag into a different world of magic or dream.
It leans more toward the action/ adventure section than romance. But i can say one thing, it will keep you watching it from beginning to end b/c it is very interesting in term of the plot.

Both Anime use a Gothic art style and also use bright colors mixed in. Both stories are of the horror genre. The stories also have a bit of mystery to them.

Both of these Anime deal with the mind and forgotten backgrounds and things one can't easily control. Things aren't a game either.

Where does one belong? Why is one in a world that is not their own? These Anime both deal with this subject, that and friendship and dealing with life.
