If you liked Mardock Scramble: The First Compression add

...then you might like Zetman add

Grim an gritty future. Warped, wicked wealthy folk considering lower classes as disposable entertainment, genetic engineering, bioengineering, monstrous violence and violent monsters. Mardock Scramble is more sexually explicit but it is there in Zetman as well.

If you liked Interlude add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Shifting realities, trying to save someone you care about . . . Interlude is a 3 ep ova. Too bad because it could have been something quite good given time to evolve. As roriconfan said in his review of Interlude, it was original in its day but has been eclipsed by better titles. Still, if you are hungry for this type of theme, it is an o.k. watch.

If you liked Violence Jack: Harem Bomber-hen add

...then you might like Tokyo Tribe 2 add

Gangs, depravity, blood splatter, flying body parts, sex, a strange form a justice, giant economy size characters - just change the names and places. Violence Jack is a mid-80's Mad Max style post Apocalypse world where crazed, barbaric bike gangs rule the day bombing, blasting, shooting, raping, killing, killing, raping, and training sex slaves . . . until they meet up with the enigmatic giant demon thing, Violence Jack, who dispenses gory, blood splattered justice. Tokyo Tribe 2 is much the same only it is set in modern Tokyo and benefits from better character development but then it is a series and VJ a set of 3 OVA's. If you liked or were intrigued by one, you may well be interested in the other.

If you liked Tokyo Tribe 2 add

...then you might like Golgo 13 (TV) add

Golgo 13 has a very different pace than Tokyo Tribe 2 but it is still about one very GAR Mother F...... living on the wrong side of the law.

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Tokyo Tribe 2 add

Anti-heroes living on the wrong side of the law. War and competition between gangs and lots and lots of action and violence.

If you liked Speed Grapher add

...then you might like Tokyo Tribe 2 add

Speed Grapher doesn't involve gangs per se but there are a lot of underhanded people grasping for power and money. They are both violent and twisted in the same direction.

If you liked Gungrave add

...then you might like Tokyo Tribe 2 add

Anti-heroes living on the wrong side of the law. War and competition between gangs and lots and lots of action and violence.

If you liked Afro Samurai add

...then you might like Tokyo Tribe 2 add

Gory action, power and revenge, hip-hop/rap soundtrack.

If you liked Tokyo Tribe 2 add

...then you might like Baccano! add

Anti-heroes living on the wrong side of the law. War and competition between gangs and lots and lots of action and violence. There is a supernatural aspect in Baccano! you won't find in Tokyo Tribe 2 as well as more comedy.

If you liked Tokyo Tribe 2 add

...then you might like Sengoku Basara add

Both are about different groups with GAR, charismatic leaders trying to seize control of a given area. Lots of violence (more sex in Tokyo Tribe 2) and crazy, over the top fight scenes. No real difference other than one is set in modern Tokyo and the other in late 16th century Japan. (Sengoku Basara is a bit lighter and slightly less twisted.)

If you liked Tokyo Tribe 2 add

...then you might like Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom add

Anti-heroes living on the wrong side of the law. Competition between gangs and lots and lots of action and violence.

If you liked Last Exile add

...then you might like Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

Similar alternate world time line involving technology and weapons including airships and open cockpit planes and despotic dictator. TBWStW also has a bit of a "steampunk" feel to it whereas Last Exile is decidedly such. Despite the fantasy aspect of "special powers" The Boy Who Saw the Wind is possibly a bit more realistic than Last Exile. Both are excellent.

If you liked Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

...then you might like Hadashi no Gen add

Children coping with the ravages of war. Hadashi no Gen is decidedly more realistic but The Boy Who Saw the Wind isn't total fantasy in its depiction of events and emotions. Both are excellent.

If you liked Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

Similar alternate world time line involving technology, weapons, and a despotic dictator. Both feel like they are set somewhere just prior to WWII and have a bit of a "steampunk" feel. There is even a parallel with the young boy with special powers others want to use. Both are excellent.

If you liked Mirai Shounen Conan add

...then you might like Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

Similar world feel and involving technology and weapons and a despotic dictator.. TBWStW feels like it is somewhere just prior to WWII and a bit of "steampunk" feel but Conan's recovering post apocalyptic world also has a touch of "steampunk." Despite the fantasy aspect of "special powers" The Boy Who Saw the Wind is possibly a bit more realistic than Mirai Shounen Conan. Both are excellent

If you liked Hotaru no Haka add

...then you might like Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

Children coping with the ravages of war. Grave of the Fireflies is decidedly more realistic but The Boy Who Saw the Wind isn't total fantasy in its depiction of events and emotions. Both are excellent.

If you liked Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

...then you might like Ushiro no Shoumen Daare add

Children coping with the ravages of war. Ushiro no Shoumen Daare is decidedly more realistic but The Boy Who Saw the Wind isn't total fantasy in its depiction of events and emotions. Both are excellent.

If you liked Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

...then you might like Haha wo Tazunete Sanzenri add

It's not so much about the similarity of story line or characters as it is a commonality of look and feel. I really think if you like 3000 Leagues In Search of Mother (aka Marco, From the Apennines to the Andes) you will enjoy the time you spend on the movie The Boy Who Saw the Wind.

It's not so much about the similarity of story line or characters as it is a commonality of look and feel. I really think if you like Romeo no Mysterious Cities of Gold you will enjoy the time you spend on the movie The Boy Who Saw the Wind.

If you liked Kurenai no Buta add

...then you might like Kaze wo Mita Shounen add

Similar alternate world time line involving technology and weapons including open cockpit planes. Neither are really "steampunk" but have a bit of that feel about them. Porco Rosso is far more lighthearted than The Boy Who Saw the Wind but still touches on the pain caused by war, Porco more from a veteran's standpoint and TBWStW from that of an child caught up in it. Both can be enjoyed as fun and fanciful but both touch on some deeper stuff if you want to go there. Both are excellent.

This one is a pretty realistic look at tragedy and disaster from the perspective of the helicopter pilots and rescue teams of the Japanese National Defense Force.

If you liked Zettai Shounen add

...then you might like Haibane Renmei add

Zettai Shounen has a slow, melancholy pace, unexplained or slowly explained phenomenon, and mystery with some connection to an unclear past. I'm not crazy about the character art but gets the job done but the background art combined with minimal dialogue and a natural sound track that includes bird songs and insect noises works very well. The summer arc conveys the slow, heavy, hot, sun bleached, dusty feel of August and the winter arc the quiet chill of winter as the story oozes forward. Not for every one but worth a look if you enjoy the mystic.

If you liked Last Exile add

...then you might like Fractale add

A steampunk mix of technologies, airships, determined youngsters getting involved with the crew of an paramilitary airship, a charismatic airship captain. Although similar, they are not "alike." Still, if you enjoy one, you are likely to enjoy the other.
