Kyoukai no Kanata

Both are about spiritual powers, youkai etc. and in many parts of both series you'll find lots of familiarity. Perhaps Yato's social awkwardness is nothing aganist Akihito's pervert self, but in any case both of them are quite entertaining. Kyoukai is has more dark side story compared to Noragami thought.  

These two shows are both popular examples of a certain type of supernatural stories that have become a staple of anime in the past few years. Mixing the mundane, calming feeling of the slice-of-life genre with a very distinctive supernatural element that you find only in anime and manga. The world is not as one-dimensional as you think and a roaming spirit might lurk in every corner. Only few humans can see them and only fewer are gifted enough to fight them, But drifting to the other side is not all fun and games because while our beloved heroes might have good intentions, there are people (or gods) out there whose intentions are not so pure and it is a protagonists responsibility to stop them! There are a lot of anime of that genres that you can watch but I personally find Noragami and KNK to be some of the most fun-to watch series this genre has to offer. With sleek visual styles courtesy of Kyoto Animation and Studio Bones, a balanced mixture of drama and action, and a dash of romantic undertones, Both shows will keep you entertained and maybe manage to make you chuckle and/or shed a tear in the process. read more 

Both have the same type of vibe to them, I feel. Both seem to contain happy and shallow characters at first, then you fall in love with all of them and learn of their struggles and want them to be happy. Both are great and I recommend both! 

Noragami and Kyoukai no Kanata are supernatural theme series involving spirits and apparitions. The main characters gets themselves involved in a variety of ways that changes their lives while helping others. Throughout both series, there's internal struggles explored regarding the main characters, in particular with their pasts that are reflected by flashback scenes. At the apex of the story, these internal struggles manifest and brings out feelings that are reflected by our characters' reactions. There's a small cast of characters with strange interactions between them. Expect comedy, drama, and action. 

These are really similar anime. Only a handful of people can see the supernatural events and monsters. The characters fight against evil. The story setting and characters are more interesting. 

Both series are about a 'boundary' between two realms/worlds, where evil spirits are coming into the real world. Both have protagonists that have superhuman powers (Yato and Mirai) that are funny characters who are hiding an important issue, and both have a 'normal' friend (Hiyori and and Akihito) who try and lead them in the right direction, morally.  

Both series have to do with the supernatural (i.e. yokai, spirits). The two also share a fair bit of drama, subtle comedy, and even brief romantic undertones. They're also similar in the sense that you're allowed to watch characters develop and grow stronger together as they help one another reach their goals. 

Both main character got terrible past story. Fight against supernatural creature to get money.  

the art and general theme of the plot are very similar. they both have hints of comedy, but mainly deal with fighting youkai, etc. 

Both have supernatural themes regarding fighting of spirits, I found both beautiful and soulful with emotional ties. Highly recommend both series. 

Though obviosuly different in many ways, they do share significant similarities. For example, both give off the same fantasy vibe, and they both involve a character that gets caught up in something to do with the supernatural. 

Both series have supernatural elements, but more than that they have the same elegant and sincere approach to deep inside of human soul. Both made me smile and cry at the same time. 

Both animes have spirits where only a handful of people can see them. Both main characters have "bad" pasts. Both deal with a term they call a "boundary" Both have a supernatural theme where they fight spirits. Both are comedic in some ways. Both have a romantic feel that's not totally canon at first but seems like it might be. 

Both animes deal with a theme similar to fantasy; they both contain otherworldly creatures. They also both have protagonists who fight said creatures. Both rely on humour and plot alike. Viewers be warned that I enjoyed Noragami far more than KnK. 

Noragami and Kyoukai No Kanata resemble each other a lot. If you like one of them then you will like the other one for sure! 1. At the beginning of both series the female protagonists are saved by the male protagonists 2. Both center around exorcising spirits called youmu and ayakashi that attacks humans 3. In Noragami they use shinki/divine instrument while in Kyoukai No Kanata they use blood sword, youmu etc to fight against these spirits 4. In Noragami shinkis can create a barrier "Boundary (Kyoukai)" and in Kyoukai No Kanata they create "Glaciate Barriers" that prevents youmu and ayakashi from coming past it 5. In both of the anime there are some characters that come forward to save the protagonists because they also helped them in the past 6. The episode 9 of Noragami and episode 4 of Kyoukai No Kanata are a lot similar. In these episodes Yukine and Akihito were locked up in cages of borderlines in order to purify their souls and go back to their old normal self 7. Both of them has plenty of humor. Their genres are almost same: Fantasy, Comedy, Action, Supernatural, Romance. Though Kyoukai No Kanata is dark fantasy But then again while having similar story lines both of these shows have their own aspects. Noragami is great for it's sound track and character development and Kyoukai No Kanata follows it's own story read more 

(NOTE: This entry keeps messing up no matter what I do. I am recommending KYOUKAI NO KANATA for fans of NORAGAMI, not the other way around.) While Noragami is undoubtedly the more popular of these two, both are supernatural action series featuring a distinct variation on similar subject matter: battling against creatures unseen by the general public and focusing on those charged with the task of defeating them. Kyoukai no Kanata a.k.a. Beyond the Boundary has perhaps slightly more slick animation, but just as humorous and action packed; with great characters and slice of life segments that don't feel much like filler. It's an easy recommendation for any fan of the former. read more 

If you liked the concept of people defeating "other world monsters" then you will certainly like either of these series. Each will have a mix of serious episodes and fun to watch ones. Each have a character who is stuck between being a half human half monster and needs to figure out themselves. 

similarities of the anime: -fighting supernatural creatures/ spirits in which only protagonists see and normal humans can't -protagonists doing the job to earn money -protagonists having dark hidden pasts -protagonists having similar abilities and power -protagonists "purifying" their friend/s i personally like kyoukai though because of its humor. but noragami, on the other hand, has a cool soundtrack. :)) 

- Both consist of supernatural themes and contain similar action. - Both have similar stories and ways with the phantoms. (They both focused on a small group, both main charactesr are supernatural beings of some sort.) - Both anime about the characters trying to fend off supernatural monster while building relationships and getting to know each other. - Both anime use the same style of blending comedy, drama and action. - Both are modern fantasies with an underlying mystery and a well-rounded, interesting cast. - The Animation and Art is also somewhat similar. - Both have the same plot style of blending comedy , drama and action. The action scenes are top notch with great characters and lots of heart. Noragami has more heart than action and Beyond the boundary has more action than Noragami. read more 

They are really similar . Both are actions anime, based on supernatural spirits borned from human's feelings that the main characters are hunting . Animation and fight scenes are comparable . They both include a romance story between two characters . And to end with, the charm of those series lies in the humor, which is very concentrated and distracting . 

Both of these shows generally deal with things like spirits. Both have interesting concepts with interesting characters.  

A special group of people fight and get rid of demons, just like in Noragami. Even some scenes look very similar. 

Both series' involve the extermination of spirits (youkai), and both involve a central protagonist that has the potential to become way stronger than the rest. Both series also have their share of comedic and dramatic moments, however Noragami is more focused around the former 

If you’re a fan of the supernatural, fighting demons, and a touch of school life you’ve found the right series. Noragami and Kyoukai no Kanata have very similar atmosphere and gorgeous animation, coupled with some golden comedy to lighten the dark parts of the story. Lovable characters, enticing action sequences, and a tiny bit of the touchy feely. Noragami and Kyoukai have such a similar feel not just in story but in setting, while being completely unique to each other. If you enjoyed one of these I highly recommend you check out the other. 

Other than having main casts where some of the characters look suspiciously similar, they both deal with the main boy, girl and a fun group of supporting characters behind them. Both are comedies with major modern supernatural elements and a slice of life feeling for the majority of the episodes. 

Both are similar in that they are engaged in exorcising spirits or youkai, bad creatures, something supernatural. Also similar in their genres: romance, drama, comedy; and also its atmosphere. Why do I recommend Noragami, because this anime title is better and more interesting, the music in it is simply amazing, a very mesmerizing plot, also very cool characters: D However, I recommend both of them, because Noragami and kyoukai no kanata are very funny TV series, I really liked both of them, I recommend! 

Fight demons, good shonen, bit of comedy  

kyoukai no kanata and noragami resemble quite a lot both series are supernatural theme involving spirits that attack human both series have well-blended comedy, action, romance? the female protagonists are saved by the male protagonists  

They both show the loneliness of people, chosen to fight against evil spirits. Also, these people collect demons' souls and get personal rewards for them (soul gems in Madoka Magica, and gem-stones-like in KnK). 

These two anime are very similar with basic ideas of the characters. Our heroine of the story is a young girl with magical powers to fight off evil. 

Both have magical-girl type characters. Both main characters get more powerful through friendship. Girly art style with intense fighting. Both are dark fantasies mixed with the supernatural. Similarly likable characters. Beautiful art and music in both. 

The two animes are dramatic yet have some joyous moments in it. The main female protagonists in both stories are hesitating on the decision that they have, whether to do it or not. Both stories revolves around killing monsters, which is a sworn duty and a way of living(kind of). These two are really good, could make you stick on the series till you finish it. 

Both have characters that have special powers Both anime have creatures the main character 'hunts' Both main characters have pink hair Both anime are very colourful Both anime have a similar ambiance, but Kyoukai no Kanata is lighter Both main characters are faced with a difficult choice  

The last few episodes of both series would both blow your mind off. The main characters are both girls The protagonist are fighting evil forces. 

Both have the following similarities: - Two worlds where people get skills, which they use to eliminate monsters to obtain gems. - The protagonist girl doubts about her own power. - A dark environment is shown between the doses of comedy and things in life.  

Puella Magi (Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica) and Kyoukai no Kanta's form of economy is very similar. When you defeat a monster it drops an ore that can be appraised for currency to live off of. The organizations are also similar for example Kyoukai no Kanata has Spirit World Warriors that fight off monsters that create natural disasters while in Puella Magi the Magical Girls also fight monsters creating negative energy/disasters. 

Beyond the Boundary and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are both set in a world where fantasy monsters exist and, when killed, can be used to benefit magic users who can kill them (Madoka Magica uses the item drops as magic refills while Beyond the Boundary's item drops can be traded in for money). For even associating with magic in this world, the main characters are living in what can be seen as a curse. If you're into that kind of story where characters have hardships relating to their abilities, then these two anime are likely for you. 

The fake 8th grader syndrome fantasy delusions that Rikka has in Chuunibyou are very similar in style (both being made by Kyoto Animation) to the real fights in Kyoukai no Kanata. Both have similar male and female protagonists where the male protagonist is pulled into problems by the female protagonist who won't leave him alone. They also have both a mix of comedy and drama, but from what I've seen of KnK so far, it has more drama than comedy while Chu2 is more of an even mix. 

Both of these deal with comedy and supernatural action (but for Chuunibyou it's just Illusion) . Each of them are also produced by KyoAni 

while chunninbyou's supernatural side is fake, KnK has it real both of the anime is created by KyoAni, so it has the same visual art overall, and it's marvelous too 

-The art has been produced by the House of KyoAni (Kyoto Animation) Hence, it is very similar. -A Moeblob doing random stuffs of cuteness~  

- Both shows was made by Kyoto Animation. - The Character designs and their mannerism is Similiar. - Premise in Both shows is Similar. ( male character dragged into all sorts of problems by a strange, socially awkward female lead.) - Despite the fact that Chuunibyou is comedy both anime have well animated fight sequences. - Same type of Story Telling! - Both pull at your heartstrings near the end of the series and leave you wanting more. - They are both beautiful and endearing succinctly told stories. The situations in Beyond the Boundary are more serious and often dangerous, whereas the situations in Chuuibyou are mostly comedic. However, in both anime the socially awkward girl does lead to a lot of comedic social situations for the guy. read more 

both are by the same studio, are similarly enjoyable, with pretty much the same downfalls. the characters throughout both are largely endearing, if tropey, and their daily lives are full of feel-good goofy antics, with both main heroines having a few deeper and more emotional undertones to their usual airheaded vibe. quite often in both, the actual plot ends up a little bit buried under slice-of-life moe, which, in chu-2 isn't so much of a problem, but as KnK is a little more ambitious with its fantasy setting and plot, it's a little more noticeable there. in my opinion, KnK makes up for what it loses there with its absolutely stunning art and design, though! read more 

Both are animated by Kyoto and showcase kids with superpowers in a high school setting, but Kyoukai no Kanata is far more endearing and self aware, and has actual stakes in its plot established early on.  

- Shiny anime with very smooth animation (as expected of KyoAni). - Female lead is poor and works on exterminating supernatural creatures for food. - Confident male lead who is a bit of a bookworm. - General theme of high schoolers battling random supernatural creatures for rewards. Kyoukai no Kanata is slower and sadder with a shy lead female. Musaigen has a confident lead female but is pretty much a souped up harem complete with all the necessary fanservice. 

Both are done by Kyoto Animation, and as such have amazing animation and art. Both follow the story of high school phantom hunters who fight youmu/phantoms to keep the peace and earn some compensation. Both are lighthearted and are a great watch, however KnK is more story based, where MnPW is more episodic comedy based. 

Kyoukai no Kanata is Musaigen no Phantom World with romance.  

These are both school/fantasy/supernatural shows made by Kyoto Animation. Both shows revolve around the concept of high school students with powers in a world where ghosts, yokai, ect. exist . KnK have Spirit World Warriors that hunt Youmu while Phantom World has a hunting-club that hunts Phantoms. Both have epic fighting scenes and have beautiful animation (as expected from KyoAni) While KnK labels itself as a "dark fantasy', Phantom World is more of an ecchi/SoL. 

The beginning has to do with catching a falling girl, both characters have some magnificent ability, action and stuff. 

-Both male MC's are half-supernatrual beings which makes them immortal -Both have "fast-paced art style" -Both are comedic at some points -Both are dramatic at some points -Both have a lot scenes fighting against supernatural beings -both mc's have some normal fetishes  

both show has the same genre, although bakemonogatari has more complex story plot, while KnK has simple, yet moe-esque story. both show have a superbly good art (as we expected from shaft and kyoani) and good op/ed too 

The main protagonists are both immortal and have to deal with the supernatural. There are also very similar scenes in both animes' first episodes. 

Both have characters who can manipulate their blood to be used as a weapon. DMWL is more of humans fighting humans, and kyoukai is humans and "demons." Both have action, blood, romance, drama, and psychological themes 

In both, the protagonist has the power to control their own blood and use it as weapon. The art styles vary dramatically (DmW is seinen while KnK is shounen) and DmW has more horror, but they both have a decent amount of drama. Both of the other protagonists who do not have the power to control blood have powers as well. 

They both control their blood to make it weapons 

Both have the following similarities: - Protagonist who can control blood and doubt what is right. - Revenge for loved ones - Fight to get money. - Beings with supernatural abilities. 

Dat first scene. One stab. Through the heart. Immortality also nice slice-of-life romance combined with ass kcking action 

While they might not seem like it at first, there are a few things that are similar between the two. 1. One of the main characters has a hard time knowing whether to join up with the group at the start. 2. One of the other main characters (the other gender from the character described in number 1) is an anti-hero of sorts, but moreso in KnK. 3. Both are quite heart-wrenching by the end of the anime. 4. They will both leave some questions lingering in your mind at the end. 5. They both have an amazingly hilarious filler episode (Angel Beats isn't part of the main series though). You should not skip over them. 6. At a later point in the anime, the protaginists fight of a massive horde of monsters which split apart the main group. Trust me, both are good animes. read more 

Beyond the Boundary and Angel Beats are two somewhat divisively received anime that is both action-packed and follows the daily life of various characters, all while having a somewhat supernatural setting. The male lead in both anime cannot die and finds himself interacting with the girl who gave him a painful impression upon their first meeting. With a couple of laughs mixed in emotional and active scenes, people who liked one of these anime will likely try out (and maybe like) the other. 

Similar art styles. Akihito resembles Satoshi so much. Similar school setting. A bit of enforced mystery to keep you very interested through out the series. 

If you liked Hyouka, you'll definitely like Kyoukai no Kanata. Both are made by the same company, so it has the same look to it. Kyoukai no Kanata is almost exactly like Hyouka, except for the fantasy/supernatural that you find in Kyoukai no Kanata. Also while in Hyouka it has a bit of comedy/romance to it, Kyoukai no Kanata follows on that genre bit more, as well as some action. Both are good watches. 

Both Hyouka and Kyoukai no Kanata shares the most similar kind of art and characters If Kyoukai no Kanata's story are about fantasy, Hyouka tells us some more reality. They both also have great soundtrack. You can feel the same air between these animes when you watch it eventhough they have different kind of story. And I'm sure you will like them. 

The same circumstantial event when girl with special ability finds boy with a different special ability and from there on boy's life was never the same again when he finds himself being drafted into service by the girl into fighting supernatural entities. 

In/Spectre and Beyond the Boundary are two supernatural anime about a short-haired girl and a boy who both have supernatural abilities—the girl is personally associated with supernatural beings and the boy is seemingly immortal. The two eventually form a relationship due to their supernatural connections. 

both are are romance, supernatural and involve youkai. they have very similar vibes so if you enjoyed kyoukai no kanata you’ll probably enjoy kyokou suiri. 

Both talks about yokai creatures in the human world and they fight the evil creatures with there friend it has the same style with the drama and the comedy  

These shows have fairly strong female main characters with supernatural powers. While shows are in general well animated they also have some extremely good animation, especially when it comes to action.  

Both anime`s have exorcism of demons on it... 

In Kyoukai no Kanata there are spirit hunters and spirits and in Ao no Exorcist there are similarly exorcists and demons. So they're very simiral when it comes to the exorcisms /battles. Kyoukai no Kanata's kind of humour is also found in Ao no Exorcist, but in bigger doses, and they both contain the ''many characters all coming together to defeat their enemy and the relationships they have are also presented'' element. If you enjoyed the plot and character development of Kyoukai no Kanata you'll definitely adore Ao no Exorcist! 

KnK revolves around a group of high school students, but the protagonists (a shy, innocent girl and a funny, compassionate guy) carry the plot with their mysterious past. AnoHana also stars a friendly duo and their friends as its main cast. The drama in this show intensifies overtime since new feelings open up as conflicts revive after an entire decade has passed. If you are a fan of stories that cover the lives of lonely characters that change after a while, then you will like Kyoukai no Kanata. Kuriyama's quirky and adorable personality covers a large part in the show, just like how Menma's selfless and slightly silly behavior had a strong effect on Anohana, but her character also acts similar to Jintan for they both take on a certain goal that must be fulfilled. read more 

-Well both series are short and sweet and get to the point. -Colorful cast of characters some flow with the tropes some don't, you probably know someone like one of the characters -Anohana will bring you to tears, if you cried at the end of this prepare to feel it even harder here -But much like this series it ends on a high note and puts a smile on your crying face. 

Both animes feature supernatural, school girls who use their blood to fight demon-like enemies as their main characters. Both are action oriented with a slight hint at romance. Blood+ has a more serious tone about it, whereas Kyoukai no Kanata has a lot more jokes. If you want something a little longer and little more serious, check out Blood+. If you want something quick and fun, watch Kyoukai no Kanata. 

The main female protagonist of both series both series uses blood to enhance the abilities of their sword,though Saaya(the female protagonist of Blood +) uses an actual Katana. Both have to deal with killing supernatural monsters. The main male protagonist of both series are somewhat immortal. The action of both series are somewhat similar. 

Female lead is voiced by the same seiyuu (Risa Taneda), and both frequently address their senpais (i.e. the male leads). Both female leads are also contacted by outside organizations to follow the male lead & possibly kill him. Both deal with supernatural phenomena, and the male leads contain extraordinary beings within them that grants them great powers. The romantic elements are also similar. Lots of "senpai" action! 

the main character has a special connection with the heroine since both of them is the kouhai of the protagonist. both of the protagonist has some special power more than the heroine both of the protagonist considered danger by the surrounding because of their power 

Both have a male main character that is part "demon" and has insane power where if he goes out of control he will destroy everything including his loved ones. Both the main characters also wish for a peaceful life where they won't hurt anyone. Both have a female love interest that is also very strong and both use a sword as their main weapon. If you are looking for another internal struggle within the part-demon main character than definitely check out Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu. Both have their funny moments, interesting and lovable characters, and interesting turn of events.  

Similarities: Both anime contain a main character who is half human and half monster. (Half-Youmu in KnK and Half-Ghoul in Tokyo Ghoul). Both anime and dark fantasies type anime with elements of supernatural and horror. The OP and ED's of both anime are stunning, and some of the best I've heard, KnK taking a more J-Pop/Rock route and Tokyo Ghoul a J-Rock/Metal style, either way great soundtracks in both. Differences: In Kyoukai no Kanata, the MC has a love interest, meanwhile in Tokyo Ghoul, the MC does not. Kyoukai no Kanata is much more fantasy based, while Tokyo Ghoul is more focused on suspense and horror. This gives Tokyo Ghoul a much darker and gory feel to it. KnK is animated much more fluidly than Tokyo Ghoul since KnK was animated by the stunning KyoAni, but that's not to say the art is bad in Tokyo Ghoul, it's just slightly more average looking. Either way, I'd give Tokyo Ghoul a shot if you have some time on your hands, it's airing this season (Summer 2014) and likewise to watch Kyoukai no Kanata if you can. Both are good anime.  read more 

Supernatural elements and romance at the same time... Also a similar atmosphere and drawing style. 

Similarities: - Female lead - Supernatural powers - Supernatural beings - Mystery - and more subtle similarities Differences: - Pacing (!) - Style - KnK: Fantasy oriented - RDG: More traditional themes Both great immersive stories Both highly recommended 

Both series share a few similar concepts that I'm surprised there aren't anymore recommendations made between the two, though I'm not saying you'd like one show given you like the other since they vary in tones. Both worlds are inhabited by entities unseen by normal people whose very lives are threatened by their presence. They are maintained by specialists that hunt these entities for the safety and stability of the world. The hunters have their means of combating without interfering with everyday normal life. Both female leads have this role of being a hunter, whilst the male leads portrays the partner whose existential presence at first, goes against the female's ideals. This quickly changes with character progression, where the couples help each other throughout the series.  read more 

A modern day world, where monsters live among people. A group of friends and family members with various super powers. They make an organization, that takes care of the dangerous cases, eliminating the creatures. We also get a glimpse of their normal daily lives. One of their friends is also a monster and unintentionally poses a threat to society, so they must decide, whether to kill him as well. 

- Both deal with two individuals somehow intertwined by fate. - Both deal with a form of demon-hunting. Be warned, Ga-Rei: Zero is way darker than Kyoukai no Kanata.
