Tokyo Ghoul

A world where supernatural beings are isolated and not considered equal to the rest of society. The main characters are unpleasantly dragged into a world of abyss where their survival skills are to be put to the test. 'Tokyo Ghoul' features a predator and prey hostile environment where strength in numbers is crucial in order to see the daylight tomorrow. An association is only dangerous when you do not know them...hypothetically speaking, both sides could be equally guilty in their hidden conspiracies and wrong-doings. 'Deadman Wonderland' specialises more on master and slave brutality where killing is a form of entertainment and the weak gets weeded away   read more

These 2 anime are very similar. For instance the main male protagonist was living an ordinary live until something drastic happens and their whole world is turn upside down. Both anime has the protagonist gaining powers he did not want, and a heroine basically leading him around. They're both in a situation where everywhere they go, there is just someone there who wants to kill them or attempts to. In deadman, the protagonist was sent to a hellish jail where inmates die for entertainment or kill one of another. While Tokyo ghoul, he was brought into a whole new world where the "Ghouls" resides. They're either eaten by   read more

There are some similarity you'll find between this two anime, like how the protagonist gains grisly superpowers and had to be dragged into living where their survival skills are tested without their own choice. Both of them decided to learn being stronger for their own survival and protecting their friends. Intense fight i would say. You will also find one of the character that will make you think "well, isn't this guy power same as in TG". - Gory - Character Development - Blood blood BLOOD EVERYWHERE!! - Best Op & Ed - Amazing characters you will love at least 1 - Badass chick included

MCs are VERY similar. They're both quite weak and whiney at first and can't fight for themselves, are unsure of what to do with their new life situations and have developed some kind of strange new powers.

Both are gorefests and involve people using their blood as their weapon and power and are psychological thrillers. The differences are that wonderlands story takes place in a prison whereas Tokyo ghoul takes place in the open city streets. Out of the two tokyo ghouls beats deadman wonderland in every category (characters, story, art, sound) but if all you want is gore then look no further.

Both animes are extremly gory with massive amout of blood, and both Protagonists lives get "interesting" in the first episode! :O And I enjoyed Tokyo Ghoul more since it was sadder.

Both of the main characters gets involved in some sort of supernatural accident and thus both of their bodies goes through changes. Through out the series you get to follow these charachters as they try to overcome the challanges that await them and adjust to the changes in their lives. Blood will be shed ladies, gentlemen and all in between. Both are really good horror animes!

Both shows are 12 episodes long and incredibly gory shows that don't do justice to their respective manga. Deadman Wonderland is about a boy thrown into prison for a crime he didn't commit while Tokyo Ghoul is about a 19 year old who becomes a man eater because the girl he was on a date with started eating him. Other than that, Both shows aren't alike storywise. In terms of Action I will give it to Tokyo ghoul. It was censored as hell, but the fights were far more varied than anything in Deadman Wonderland. In terms of animation, Deadman Wonderland wins for being more consistent and having   read more

Both sport plenty of gore and grotesque powers which results in the main characters struggling against their morality and their objective situation within the world they live in. Very thrilling with a lot of great characters.
report Recommended by Maiku-Desu
The psychological trauma that goes on within both these series' are pretty similar but also drastically different. A lot of gore & blood resides in these two animes and the fact that they are 12 episodes long & absolutely amazing makes them worth checking out! 10/10

Both have a weak character at first, so you're gonna have character development. They both are unaware of their powers at first. They are both psychologic, horror and action animes. The two are 'weird' in a good way.
report Recommended by Kenkkei
Both shows include a young protagonist put in a situation beyond their control, where they get brutally beaten up. Both show have characters with some special super power which is only iconic to the character. Both shows are also very violent and gory with the main theme being death.
report Recommended by DERKRAKEN
In both series an innocent guy is forced to live the life of a being that is different from normal people and is treated as an outcast. In tokyo ghoul Kaneki becomes a half ghoul while in deadman wonderland Ganta becomes a deadman. Both main characters are also tragic heroes as they have to fight to survive and do things that they wouldn't have done before

In both the MC has changed from a human to some sort of monster. There is also a female character that watches over the MC. The MC both have a weapon that comes from there body. They both have a lot of blood and gore. I enjoyed them both. Deadman Wonderland has more comedy.

well to begin with, Tokyo ghoul has the Kagune and Deadman wonderland has the Branch of Sin. Those 2 are powers that only a few people have in the anime. In Tokyo ghoul they have CCG Investigators and in Deadman Wonderland they have undertakers. Both fight against those supernatural power.

1.-The two protagonists acquire some powers which make gradually lose their humanity. 2.-The two series are gore. 3.- The two characters do not know how to use their powers at first but use it in extreme situations. 4.-Fights between individuals with the same powers.

Both very gory and violent, some sort of supernatural element (The "Red Man" and Ghouls)

It's hard to explain, but these shows are quite similar. Both of them have many deaths, and they both involve blood.
report Recommended by Futago
Deadman Wonderland...It may not be my favourite anime but,like all the anime in the series , it focus on the aspect half-human,half-something.Ganta has to learn his new abiltity to bend blood(which is amazing)and survive in the new,twisted world of a prison,after a mistake of his.The anime is a bit twisted but still liked it.The music effects were quite good and the story pretty interesting.However,I believe that the manga is better.

Very action packed like Tokyo Ghouls, similiar idea of a kid who gains abilities and learns to use them to fight and help people
report Recommended by MattcTrent
Shows are both seinen meaning they are intended for a slightly older audience (roughly 17-25 years if I'm not mistaken). In addition to the fact that they both have a darker and more gritty atmosphere, complete with heavy gore, they both have heavy moral dilemmas and intense psychological aspects.

-Both deal with similar blood-based powers that the main-character obtains from someone else -Both main-characters do not want to realise their new life and are mentally torn -Both are very bloody/gory

Tokyo ghoul made me think about deadman wonderland the themes and dark pasts and the main being given a power they dont want thats the kind of stuff that makes these similar Both mains have been forced into a different world with weird powers by someone but they both will aim for something different in the plot the characters in both series are very different from eachother so i cant compare that

Tokyo Ghoul and Deadman Wonderland are both about normal students who gain abilities. After gaining those abilities, they have to fight against organizations that the civilians trust, making it harder for them to accomplish goals. Both contain gore, fights, and a lot of obstacles being randomly thrown in (to the main characters’ surprise).

Chaos from one's own kind. Deadman Wonderland and Tokyo Ghoul both follow a soft protagonist who ends up gaining powers due to some cataphoric event. During this life, these protagonists much fight their own kind in the name of protecting themselves. Deadman Wonderland uses 'Deadman' fighting in 1v1s for rewards. Tokyo Ghoul has ghouls fighting other ghouls if territory should be invaded. Both also have higher beings suppressing them, humans suppressing ghouls, humans suppressing the prisoners. Both are great gore and violence anime horror about toughening up to that around you.

Both series follow characters who are unwillingly given new strong powers. Both main characters are gentle at heart, but are later are forced to into a lifestyle of violence. Like Tokyo Ghoul, Deadman Wonderland follows a similar darker narrtive, along with some elements of action and romance.

Tokyo Ghoul, the mature shonen action series, shares the same hostile atmosphere of Deadman Wonderland. The supernatural conflict between humans and ghouls is no different from what the prisoners of Deadman Wonderland live through in their dog-eat-dog world. Additionally, the cast from both shows aren't easily characterized as black and white. -Ranker
