Akuma no Riddle

A bunch of highschool kids have to kill someone to "succeed" while following certain rules. In Dangan Ronpa, they're stuck in a school and they're only chance of escaping is to kill someone without being caught, while in Akuma no Riddle the whole class as the goal of killing a fellow classmate so they can be granted anything they want. 

One victor - for the ultimate price, both series involves a scenario where the main character becomes a target for assassination. Luckily, they do manage to make friends with an unlikely alliance who has their own skills in protecting them. And although different in man ways, they bond throughout the series and learn about each others' dark pasts. Both series features a cast of diverse characters each with their own set of skills and personalities. Expect grim scenes and horrific sequences when it comes to attempts to kill off their targets. 

Both shows involve a "special" class of high school students who are given a target to assassinate by a certain time period. While Akuma no Riddle is less humorous and has an all-female cast, Ansatsu Kyoushitsu uses more quirky humor and a target that is virtually indestructible. Both series have a blue-haired protagonist who is level-headed and competent at what they do. 

They revolve around killing a girl in order to grant a wish. While a bunch of people professional assassins try to kill her, one of them ends up deciding to protect her instead.  

Main protagonist wants to protect a girl from being taken from a group of maniacs, although Akuma no Riddle has a heavier focus on violence and less on thought, and Utena has more of a focus on psychological and character development. In my opinion Utena executes the concept better though. 

All-girl survival games with yuri undertones. 

Both anime shares similar concept, assassin girl protecting the (seem to be harmless) other girl. Also, both Momo and Haru shares the same japanese VA, Hisako Kanemoto. 

Both Akuma no Riddle and Madoka Magica involve a female cast who have different motives behind their actions for a wish. In Akuma no Riddle, they are attempting to assassinate one of their classmates for the ability to have any wish they desire granted while in Madoka Magica the girls can have any wish they want fulfilled in return of them becoming a magical girl who fights witches for the rest of their lives. Some characters resemble each other in both personality and appearance like Madoka Kaname and Haru Ichinose along with Haruki Sagae and Kyouko Sakura. Both Akuma no Riddle and Madoka Magica are beautiful and if you enjoyed one, you'll surely enjoy the other! read more 

Trying to place the similarities between the two shows into words is honestly complicated. In part, I don't want to give away spoilers. Seemingly dissimilar are these two series except for the same-sex content which crops up, that's really not the only draw. Perhaps then it is the draw of the characters, and how each is almost like their own book? Or the fact one is on the edge of their seat wondering what happens next. Perhaps words were easier to put down than first thought. 

1. Both contain some elements such as school life and killers. 2. The "killer" things are just like game in both series, although Akuma no Riddle is a bit more serious. 3. Both has some girl x girl moments or subtext. 

- Both are a Battle Royale type anime. - Both feature roughly 12 contestants faced off against eachother. - Both have rewards at the end that allow the winner to ultimately have their one wish granted. - Both are fast paced, and include a lot of action, death, and destruction. - Both anime are exhilarating, and keep you wondering what happens next, wanting more. 

They have the same base, everybody wants a person to disappear (better said "to die"), but the main character decides to get to know that person better and protect her. The difference is, Another is a bit more creepy and Akuma no Riddle is a bit of a shoujo-ai. 

Students are trained to kill. But they must kill their principle/friend in order pass. One series is a comedy while the is not.  

Tick, tick, tick... The viewer feels as if time is against the characters, yet the twists within the series... No, the biggest selling point for both are the characters, but both get the viewer rooting for - not always the good guys, but some bad guys. Or are they really bad guys? 

For starters both series have girls as leads and who do all the action. Both series have characters fighting each other for this or that reason. Both series have an observer who look over what is happening and push characters against each other. Both have similar type of ending. In both series characters have unique personalities. Both shows are set at school. Both shows have some yuri feels. Differences: Akuma is about assassins while Mai HiME is about normal people, well as normal as you can call them Akuma has a slightly darker feel to it with some blood, Mai HiME is more friendly. Mai HiME also has more comedy elements Mai HiME has more male characters. There are far more similarities and differences but any more and I'll spoil things. Personally I would take Mai HiME over Akuma, any day.  read more 

Watching Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight kinda reminds me of Akuma no Riddle in many ways like the yuri undertone (if you're into that stuff then I definitely recommend this), they are fated to fight or protect each other, every episode has different ending and so on. 

Both are female-centric anime that feature a protagonist with a tragic past and shady occupation (Nadie is a bounty hunter, while Tokaku is an assassin) who nevertheless prefer to avoid killing people. In both cases, they find themselves the protector of a mysterious girl who have various people coming after them (Ellis/Haru) and have an informant who gives them cryptic help throughout their ordeal (Blue-Eyes/Kaiba). They also both have fantastic soundtracks and a few of the same voice actors (Blue-Eyes and Koko are both voiced by Clarine Harp, for example). Interestingly, in "El Cazador de la Bruja", the protector is the cheerful one and the ward is the stoic one, while in "Akuma no Riddle" it's the other way round. I prefer "El Cazador de la Bruja", as it has a much more unique setting and more character development. read more 

Both animes are about killing in a class, the difference is that in Akuma no Riddle, the whole class are assasins, but in Munou na Nana is the MC the only assasin. 

A phone is in both anime with a competition to 'improve' the lives of others and the similar mobile phone that puts some candidates with certain advantages over others within this 'game' Both anime express the difficulties of trust and two unexpected people randomly ending up working together and later understand some sort of plan  

both are very coolest world and Characters riddle story of devil and psycho pass riddle story of devil world just like utopia psycho pass world real dystopian rsod Characters is Ataru pp Characters is Shougo 

Watching shinsekai yori and akuma no riddle world future academy and city utopia and dystopia and both akuma no riddle and shinsekai yori have VA same for tomokazu sugita and Yoshiko Sakakibara  

At a private girl school, Myojo Accademy thirteen girls are transferred into the accademy`s Black Class. Of the thirteen students, twelve are assassins from various surroundings who are all tasked in assassinating the remaining one, Haru Ichinose. If they succeeed, they will be granted any wish they desire but they failed, they are expelled from the class. One of the executioner, Tokaku Akuma develops feeling for the latter which result in protecting her against the other assassins. 

Both anime are about a group of "bad people" trying to fulfill their assigned task. Akudama Drive has a much darker story with badass criminals, while the assassins from Akuma no Riddle are so unprofessional and generic that I thought I was just watching a light-hearted comedy instead of serious battle royale.  

both Yami to Boushi... and Akuma no Riddle you'll find your tomboy'ish teenage girl fighting, risking her life for that special girl she vowed to protect... Obviously, both series have some very apparent yuri vibes, and while I think AnR is a better produced show, Yamibo has a much more interesting story to tell. If you happened to like one of those two, I strongly believe you would also like the other since they complement each other so well. 

Highschool girls killer. Yuri feels OP main character. Sidekick amazing stories.  

Both shows revolve around a group of teenage girls that are trained killers. In "Magical Girl Spec-Ops: Asuka", they work together most of the time, while in "Akuma no Riddle", it is more of a survival game between them. The main characters Asuka and Tokaku are both kuudere characters, who don't really show their feelings, but care deeply about the secondary protagonists. Both anime have a dark setting and a lot of violence, but "Magical Girl Spec-Ops: Asuka" is in some cases more explicit and even disturbing. 

If you appreciated the subtle but strong affection that made the characters in Princess Principal keep fighting, then Akuma no Riddle has a similar way of telling its story. Plus it's another cast of badass, skilled girls although less friendly with each other for sure.  

- Both series have girls acting in secret - In Akuma no Riddle they are killers and in Release the Spyce they are spies - There are plenty of fight and action scenes in both series 

Granblem And Riddle Story Of Devil Both Are Sidekick Anime Story fight for girls not same shoujo Ai 

If you liked Akuma no Riddle I would suggest to try Nakanohito Genome. I had found myself drawing similarities between the two as I watched. - High Schoolers invited to play a game, though the game is slightly dark. - Characters are somewhat one note, although occasionally interesting (I found that between these two shows, both of them seem to make the relationships between the characters more interesting than the characters themselves). - Ominous secrets and a deeper mystery than what lies on the surface. Akuma no Riddle is much more darker of the two, the more violent elements making it probably much more thrilling than Nakanohito Genome- I thought Nakanohito Genome was somewhat decent itself. I believe its more entertaining with its comedy and the situation it puts its characters in and their solutions.  read more 

Both these anime are based of assassins, I highly recommend both because the art, sound, plot and fighting scenes are incredible. 

Gantz begins when a boy decides to help an old friend, to save a homeless man from being hit by the train. The boy did not help either, as most of the people present there, he does not really care about the beggar. They saved the beggar, but they were both killed by the train. And now to have a second chance to live, they have to win a game in which risk their lives. Similarities: Are about a game of murder; People die all the time; In both animes important things happen when the main character helps someone; Differences: Gantz is more aggressive; The game itself is different; Art is different, Gantz is more realistic;  read more 

Both have killer females main character both have blue hair both yuri animes(kampfer has more lesbo action than akuma) 

They both relates to assassination. Both main characters protects a female character or characters. The feeling you get from watching Akuma no Riddle is similar to the Grisaia series.  

Both series are romances and revolve around young girl assassins. 

Both trapped in a place to kill each other in order to survive -Deadman = prison -Akuma = school They both give off same feeling  

If you are not fan of girl-romance, yuri or in Akuma no Riddle action than you can just skip this recommendation or spare few minutes and read this post! Sakura Trick (ST) - anime about girls. Only girls having 'good times' with other girls. That means kissing girl on girl and... and... okey, that is all you will find in Sakura Trick (- romance, yuri, friendship, comedy, school). Akuma no Riddle (AnR) - anime about girls. Only girls trying to kill one girl while next girl is trying to save her from others (- action, yuri, school). Wait and what is similiar between these two?- is what you may be telling to yourself. First as i said, there are mainly girls in whole series. Than in Sakura Trick you will find a bunch of good-girls while in Akuma no Riddle there is twice as girls but almost everyone of them is bad-girl. Both series are mainly in school. (Second) MCs are very, very cuuute and similiar- Sonoda Yuu and Ichinose Haru. (First) MCs are totally different, but one thing is same for both- they care very much for their girl-friend. ST is about love and friendship between few girls, in AnR you will see only two girls who are 'truly' friends and care about each other (there will may be some xoxo like in ST). But now AnR have only 3 eps (on-going, will have about 12) and ST have 12 (finished). So AnR is a lot 'darker' than 'rainbow' ST, but MCs are similiar, it has 'yuri' and pretty girls- so in the end it is really different, but when you take closer look, the only thing that will be in your head will be love between girls. So, there is YURI, GIRLS, ROMANCE and ACTION (action only in AnR). Yes, i forgot it, but in ST is a lot of funny comedy scenes while in AnR are only few of them + AnR has DRAMA and the 'killing thing'. read more 

-Canaan is similar to Tokaku in terms of, they both carry weapons and will kill people, not only that, but also, they protect a girl. In Canaan's case its Maria, while in Tokaku's case its Haru. -Both Canaan and Tokaku are fighting against girls/women. 

-both shows are repetitive and episodic (you can skip some episodes, it won't affect the storyline) -both shows have a horror(dark) theme and slow pacing -generic(forgettable) villians but its a fun to see the main cast beat them all -and yes they both fight for one woman (but remember if you love life, don't watch these shows, don't waste your time.) 

Both are EDs has same per episode from between artist and voice actors but, can singing 

All girls, all combat, all blood and murder. Akuma no Riddle and Mahou Shoujo Site each star a female duo set on protecting each other. Undertones of love and friendship lie beneath the constant struggle to stay alive. Dark and twisted girls hell bent on killing, manipulators behind the scenes, and more can be found in both of these shows.  

Both revolve around two girls who know more about their situation/identity than they let on, although one is more happy-go-lucky while the other is nonchalant. Both girls have targets on their backs while stuck in a building where other people try to kill them. They also both become friends with one of the killers who became their protectors. And all of the killers in both shows have unique ways of killing off their victims.  

1.All of the important characters are in a battle game to kill a certain person. 2.The chased protagonist has a protector and they are in love. 3.Both series are short and intense. 

There are many things that are the same about both of these anime. First off both stories have a character base of mainly females, students too. Second, the main character is a weak girl who might have some sort of twist about her. Third, there is a strong protagonist who is understanding and willing to protect the main character. Finally the plot seems the same in my opinion, both take place at a school that is not the ordinary, they both have something to do with fighting, and there will most likely be a twist that changes your whole perspective of the anime 

-Assassins trying to kill specific person to get reward -School
