Very similar super powers and how people use them .
Lets say that humans were to develop powers in the future. There comes a very important question. How would the people end up reacting to the people who develop said powers. On one side, we have Darker than Black, where those with powers are kept in secret and feel ostrasized from the other people. On the other, we have those with powers being publically known as heros, but not by their real name, not to mention people still don't have much respect for those with powers trying to help them. It is an issue of being used as a tool, one side being unknown, the other known.
Both series try to put their own unique spin on superhero stories. DtB opts to be a dark and (acctording to some) deconstructive mindfuck while T&B's approach often borders on the satirical.
Both are amazing and are very similiar when its about how to use the powers of the characters...anyway, if u liked DTB u should see this one. For me is the bestest anime of this year. o/

It's not hard to say what those two series have in common:
• surely the first thing you can notice is that the art is very similar, well of course it does. Masakazu Katsura is a great manga-ka and author of Zetman, he in fact also worked as original character designer for Tiger & Bunny. His great art is already something that might catch you to watch both.
• still, both series are about superpowers and the concepts of hero & villain, justice & crime, honesty & corruption.
Overall the stories, those concepts play a dominant part.
• the main characters in both series are the heroes and fight against the "evil" in their own way.
Both series are interesting, although i have to say that Zetman is way much better in the manga version rather than anime.
A big difference i can say so far about those two series is:
while T&B takes place in a megalopolis modeled after the american New York city and has a bunch of "typical american heroes", Zetman is located in Japan and has a brand new vision of the word "hero" (as in fact, the main character, can be seen more as "not your typical hero"..)
Anyways, if you liked one of those, give a try to the other as well! You might be happily surprised!
Two superhero-like series, with one being darker and the other lighter. The animation and character design almost had me believing it's the work of the same studio, but it turned out false. Zetman is more about the titular Byronic hero, but can be as invigorating as the heartwarming Tiger & Bunny, whose main guy is anything but typical--a middle-aged, wifeless father named Tiger.
Being a hero is not easy and in both of these series, it proves just that.
The theme of saving people from the villians is a major theme in both anime thus has plenty of action and supernatural elements. Both series' protagonists are striving to become heroes for what they believe in.
Tiger & Bunny contains more comedy while Zetman has much more violence. Nonetheless, both anime(s) are something to keep an eye on if you're interested in the superhero/dark hero genre.

Both feature main characters who are parents that would do anything for their children and have super-powered alter ego's. Both have to with conspiracy's and the main characters working for major corporations.
Witchblade and Tiger and Bunny feature single parents living the life of "super heroes" in order to support their young daughters. Both series have very heavy American comic book vibes (Witchblade is directly based on an American comic and Tiger and Bunny features many nods to American comics including a HArley Quinn and Joker-esque duo) and are more about fun than anything else.

Dai-Guard and Tiger&Bunny are shows about saving the world and doing the right thing, all while dealing with corporate red tape. The two series have a similar focus on the down-to-earth lives of the characters and share a similar sense of humor in regards to the absurdity of super robots/super heroes being introduced into a modern capitalist society.
Both Dai-Guard and Tiger & Bunny feature idealistic main characters whose main goal is that of a typical hero: rescue those in peril and save the day. However, superpowers don't come for free: the heroes of both shows are funded by private companies who care about things like public image and the repair costs associated with the heroes' actions.

Both are charming throwbacks to classic superhero Saturday morning cartoons.
While Tiger&Bunny uses clever satires with the theme of superheroes, Heroman is more basic with the whole premise.
Both series contain supernatural elements and the typical "hero" themes where a main protagonist obtains power to save people and those he cares about.
Both series contains comedy, drama, and action.
Both series are generic but still fun to watch in terms of entertainment.

VERY different people work together. A themes of partnership, friendship and mutual assistance were shown very well.
Two very different men becoming partners in a futuristic city. They are surrounded by other wacky characters, but remain the clear main focus. Both shows blur between the line between partnership and love for the two and have a huge yaoi following.

Same director, similar animation.
Both have a similar art style and involve the main characters protecting their city.
|
|

The hero business is a power struggle in both of these Anime. Also, Iron Man comes from a world of people with special powers who have the negative public eye upon them.
Same kind of Armored Suit Super Heroes as the protagonist.

This has nothing to do with mechs. But the same concept of being a Hero is here. Both series uses the main characters as a way of entertainment. The "sponsors" brand them for publicity purposes while they face their adversary.
In both series, being a hero is a keen interest of the main male protagonist. In fact, he sets himself on this game to become a hero of justice to others and for himself.
Both series involves a team of characters and teamwork is essential to achieve success on missions/tasks given. Each character also relies on each other for his or her skills to get the job done.
Both series consists of some super power themes that involves action, drama, and some struggles between various characters. There's also comedy of course that involves outside the combat scenery for some lighthearted fun.

Both have "heroes" in them who fight bad guys for peace. They have very realistic characters as well. Even though they both seem very different, they're quite similar and if you like one, you'll probably like the other.

What do these two series have in common you ask? Well, great animation, great writing, great characters, great action...
And a whole truck load of homosexual subtext that might as well be text. Both series are living in transparent closets and it's amazing to watch. You can call it bromance if you want but...eh, you're not fooling anyone.
Both of these series are awesome, with incredible traits that make them quality anime regardless of whether you like practically-BL, so you can pretend the male main characters aren't in love if it makes you feel better, just watch them. If you like one you'll like the other, trust me.

Both have superhero's vs villains

Both have strong American superhero influences. Big O is full of Batman allusions, the main character being a rich man who dresses in black and uses gadets to poke around and solve mysteries (and fight mecha) and the art style is reminiscent of the art-deco type animation of the old batman cartoons. Tiger & Bunny is a bit closer to X-men with characters who are NEXT with powers are considered 'the next stage in evolution' by some and people to be feared by others, with some NEXT turning to crime and others turning to heroism. They both also take place in urban environments highly similar to American cities.

Both are Science Fiction stories taking place in futuristic cities, with border-line shounen-ai bromances between the two male main characters. No.6 is shorter (11 eps) and much darker with younger protagonists, while Tiger&Bunny is lighter and has a two-part plot (20+ eps). In both the spotlight is on the two male leads, one of who's goal is to get their revenge, and how the two grow closer and come to understand and value each other.

super-powered heroes that represent the future of humanity battle evildoers

Both of these shows are different in genres, but have quite unique story.. not your typical school comedy. Both of them have main characters (Kotetsu and Mutta) with easygoing personalities who often get in troublesome, funny situations and are kinda unlucky (to not mention they are both voiced by the same voice actor, so no matter how you look at it they give the same feeling), but their partner/brother (Barnaby and Hibito) are successful in what they do.

There is a concept that those who are born with special powers are cursed to the life of being used by those who seek that power to use to further their own goals and these two series feature this. With Gauken Alice, the students are trained to be of future use to society, while in Tiger & Bunny, the heros are used for mer intertainment. While they are treated for the most part as if they are human, in other ways they are treated like they are nothing.

So, do you like the concepts that Marvel layed down in the univerce they created? Well, Tiger & Bunny happens to be quite inspired by old school superheros with their NEXT. There are allusions that things have changed since the times of the old school superheros. So, if you enjoyed one, you may enjoy the other.

|
While one of these is an older classic, both of these deal with the psycological effect of having great powers and how society may or may not treat the idividual.

Stern Bild and Academy City are both similar in that they are technologically advanced cities home to millions of people, a number of whom have special powers. In Index they are students going though the Power Curriculum Program in order to become espers artificially. In T&B they are normal citizens with a certain genetic mutation that gives them special powers; several of these citizens use their powers for good and become Heroes. In the case of both series, those with powers can turn toward good or evil depending on their situation and beliefs, and at times are considered by others to be monstrous due to being different from normal humans.

Both of these shows deal with the power that you have and dealing with it in constructive manners. Both of these shows are also riddled through with a great deal of humor that comes across wonderfully.

Both of these Anime overlapped in their scheduled airing times for 2011. Both series are about heros and being the best hero that you can be. The styles of both series have their simularities in animation, not to mention the characters in the storylines are rather interesting.
|

From the first sight these two anime don't have a lot in common, but the feeling that you get, while you watch them, is pretty much the same - you are totally emotionally involved in the action and become absorbed in the plot.
Both anime have very strong colorful set of the main characters, with the relationship of rivalry between them. But despite of this rivalry between each other all of them are obsessed with the idea that at the same time unites them - either basketball or protecting the city.
There are also some developing “electric” relationships between 2 main characters, who have strong views, know what they want in their lives and do everything they can to achieve it.
So even the settings are quite different, both anime have interesting and sometimes unpredictable plot, and same tension. And if you liked the drawing style of one, you'll definitely like the other.

Both use mecha, both have a great sense of humor accompanied with great fight scenes. I found that the characters in both were very likable. Just give Tiger & Bunny a try, the title is off-putting, but really is actually a great anime.
|
|
|
It might sound strange but Bunny is similar to Sasuke and Tiger is like Naruto. The most important their relationship develop in almost same way.
|
|
|
Both are buddy cop stories with some awkward CG effects, but those problems are more than made up for with great characters.
|
|
|
Both are mecha-related, futuristic, uses a lot of CGI, and advertise for companies (Basquash - Nike; Tiger & Bunny - Softbank, Bandai, Pepsi)
