Both are packed with: - shinigami and shinigami eyes - hot bishies - cool storyline

Both tell about the undeads... Vampires and Zombies. The leading female characters somehow trapped between two male characters.

Soul Eater is much longer and will probably reach its intended end (or at least I should hope so) while Zombie Loan was cut short and is uncertain, but Zombie Loan has some of the same elements such as a team working toward a goal to fight evil through supernatural weapons and powers, though in Zombie Loan it is to pay back a loan and in Soul Eater it is to become a Death Scythe. Both shows have shinigami and dark themes. The style of Zombie Loan is more typical of anime while Soul Eater has a Nightmare Before Christmas atmosphere with its bloody grinning  read more

The most similar thing between these two are characters. If you like the relationship between the main trio in D.Gray-man, you'll love Shito and Chika. 
report Recommended by Rimona
Both have sort of fighting plots and would-be bad-ass characters if they took themselves a little more seriously. 
report Recommended by Shugocharalover
The main characters happen to form a relationship with someone who is a zombie. The goal is to eventually find a cure so that the "zombie" won't pass away.

Both involve protagonists that are undead and slay other undead in order to liberate themselves from their undeath.

- A world connected to the afterlife. - An organization dedicated to the eradication of every event that disrupts the connection. - Eyes of the protagonist, who see what lurks in people , helping in the group's work .

Both have Zombie's as main characters...who don't exactly look or act like "Zombies". There's no rotting flesh or groaning while walking slow, or eating those who are still living. Just your average, normal teenage Zombie who lives an exciting and hilarious less-than-normal life.

Firstly, both were produced by Square Enix. Both have eye-patches, Shinigami, contracts, death, and a dark mood. But the most notable similarities are those between the characters: in both series we have the usually clumsy meganekko (Michiru/Meilin), the gay man who provides some comedy (Hakka/Grell), the always calm and kinda tedious Chinese guy whose eyes are constantly shut (Toho/Lau), the emotionless pretty girl (Kuze/Ranmao), the weird and non-human ferryman/grave-digger (Bekko/Undertaker), the cute and cheerful shota boy (Yuta/Finnian), and even the domesticated wolf (Raika/Pluto). That said, Zombie Loan is way better.

If you love blood and mystery,carnage then you won't be disappointed with this one . Alucard is similar to two firends tied by fate and Seras is similar to a friend of those two ,also a female . So if you liked Hellsing ,you'll watch Zombie-Loan to :)

noragami and zombie loan are pretty similar. When I was watching noragami it reminded me of zombie loan a lot. similarities: -they get jobs were they have to slay things -they get paid after the job -both are comedy -have a bit of romance in it -they have a girl who meets them accidently differences: -zombie loan is a bit more gory -noragami is focused on gods and goddess of japan -zombie loan has to do with zombies overall both of the series are enjoyable and and I highly recomend them.

Zombie Loan is as short as VVV is. like in VVV, the story is somewhat about a normal girl(Sumire>Michiru) with magic "curse" that allows her to do something special (Sumire is an anti-virus>Michiru can see the death). many people find her gift usefull and she is being forced to use her ability againts her will, in order to destroy evil creatures (viruses>zombies). also, lots of action and guns are in both animes. plus there's lots of shojo ai in ZL tooXDDDDD

Zombie-Loan and Shiki aesthetically have extremely similar lanky and 'edgy' art styles and ways of shading (very much hard colors and pure black shadows). Also, the stories are both about supernatural beings versus humankind, although both present the matter in much different ways. Both have dramatic moments and showcase the struggles of humans.

Both deals with the dead and have mystery/horror/supernatural  
report Recommended by blueunicorns
Both shows involves with being dead, unable to die and using guns and swords to fight. Although, Zombie loan focuses on killing zombies, Angel beats focuses on a story on people who are unable to live their youth lives properly. Zombie Loan involves more mystical(supernatural) abilities/creatures.

Both have a girl with mysterious powers who's difficult to deal with. Both have the basic love triangle in denial .( one girl and two boys who won't quite yet admit they like her.) Fun atmosphere as well.

Life is given to something that are never meant to be alive. What happen then? Z-Loan and Rozen Maiden are great examples of that. They explores the meaning of life from many different aspects. Both are action-pack, and has a plot with many twists and turns that will keep you wanting more. 
report Recommended by Lamii
Both series are works of Peach-Pit, so it can be said that they share very similar art. Although Zombie Loans is meant for more mature viewers, both focuses on characters with special power. But the power they have won't last long, as they will disappear one day. 
report Recommended by Lamii
both are horror and with action. with a lot of bloood!! 
report Recommended by Wannabe16
More undead humor? Of course. More undead fights? Why, certainly. Are the characters as cold as their bodies? That's a difficult question. One of the main aspects in both worlds is how the personalities of Zombie-Loan's zombies and Blood Lad's vampires and their like can develop. Their casual and not so casual lives (or "deaths?") will be explored. And fights against ridiculous or outright weird opponents. Expect them. Why is it so troublesome to be undead in either world?! 
report Recommended by Cenba
both involve resurrecting someone from the dead to put them to use.l both are not that great of an anime (though the OVA for Princess Resurrection was stunning!) the MC's are wimpy, but they try to change that freaks of nature all around them. both of MC's are the targets of MANY thing, good & bad involves undead, zombies, basically the whole occult package. if you REALLY have nothing to do, or you need one of those "break" anime to prepare yourself for actual good ones, than this is for you

In both shows the main character is a lonely girl with not a lot of friends or confidence, she then meets two mysterious boys. One is quite extroverted and the other keeps more to himself. The main girl gets to know these boys trough out the episodes. Both shows have kinda creepy vibes

(Can't believe no one mentioned this one) The female main characters in both series has a way of 'seeing' death. Whats more, both series are easily classified as Horror.

The protagonists hunt (PSG are ghosts, ZL are zombies) to pay a debt.

Similar horror atmosphere. similarities include -Supernatural male character(s) -A female character whose fate changes in some way upon meeting said male character(s) -Something to do with dead people and or spirits -characters are sorta similiar

How these anime are similar: ~Both have action / fighting. ~Both have just a teensy bit drama. ~Both have female heroines that have (Yumekui Merry) 1 or (Zombie Loan) 2 male companions. ~Both have emotionally strong anime female heroines.

- Both anime have zombies. Well, this is the basic similar thing that they have in common. Gakkougurashi is so much better than Zombie-Loan, in the other hand, if you're some fã of blood and dead people, you should watch the second too. Zombie-Loan has worse art but have some romance, but don't needed a computer to made every zombie walk the same way!

This recommendation is in Spanish too. -The main characters are linked by a contract. -Both are supernatural. -Dark atmosphere and a similar humor. -Many characters in the anime have similar personalities. -The opening has a similar style. -Both have a very own art and interesting to see. -Los personajes principales están unidos por un contrato. -Ambas son sobrenaturales. -Atmósfera oscura y un humor similar. -Muchos personajes en el anime tienen personalidades similares. -El opening tiene un estilo similar. -Ambos tienen un arte bastante propio e interesante de ver.

Again Two boys and one girl (Akatsuke remainds me of Mugen,Shito of Jin and Michiru of Fuu) They both work together to survive. Both action and shounen animes,so if you like the one you will like the other..^^

Very similiar artstyles, also both have sword swinging heroes. Both shows have a healthy mix of action and comedy. Bleach has a lot better plot (mainly because it is a lot longer)

Dark, dark, and darker, yet... How to put these two pieces. The draw of the two series comes down to the dark abyss of feelings, but the characters and plights of each arc draws the viewer in. By arc I mean the kind of "monster of the day" kind of thing, and yet instead it's a "character focus of the day" sort of. So, not easy to put down into words.

The main character finds out the supernatural secret involving one or more of her classmates. She then is dragged into a supernatural mess to help the person or persons she happens to find the secret of. The person she finds the secret out of and others aren't particularly pleased that their secret is out, but there is not much they can do about it.

Well... Zombie Loan is the non R rated version of mnemosyne, but they've lots of simmilarities (Attention: I won't feed spoilers) an office, people who fight against evil, 1 chapter plots... if you like this genre I think Zombie loan may be the perfect election in a way more soft.

Even if the storylines are completely different, there’s something in Maria Holic that reminded me of Zombie Loan. Both are set at school (even if ZL, on the opposite of MH, is not entirely set in a dormitory); both have female protagonists which are treated as slaves by their male counterpart; both have shoujo-ai and comedy, even if in different quantity. Also, the nekomimi dorm leader in MH is similar to 2 ZL characters: Kuze Shimotsuki (since they’re both very young and cute directors of a dormitory) and Koume (similar both in physical appearance and way of talking).

A main character who learns that they're dead or about to die, and ends up helping a hunter of sorts (zombie hunters in Zombie-Loan and Flame Haze in Shakugan no Shana). More similarities I am too lazy to list. :)b 
report Recommended by Numi
Both shows are about sending the dead to the underworld. Both contain a lot of drama. Both have more male-male (and female-female in Zombie-Loan) innuendo rather than male-female. Also, great music. 
report Recommended by Burasto
The fighting scenes are almost the same with each other. The character's animation is great and somehow the same, and the attitude of the protagonist is also the same! I want to give Zombie Loan a 10, but the ending isn't nice, I'm asking for more. As for Devil May Cry, I got hooked to it from the very beginning so I gave it a 10. These animes are great fighting animes! With the zombies/devils, it's an action-packed anime!

Once again, like the prequel, both series deal with undead making a contract to kill undead in exchange for something precious (in Shikabane Hime, the door to Heaven; in Zombie Loan, the life they lost) 
report Recommended by wakka9ca
A largely unskilled but hardworking girl joins two uniquely skilled guys and does her best to help them out as they work through supernaturally-tinged cases that their unique skill sets permit them to tackle and try to grind down some of their debt. In Zombie-Loan they hunt down zombies that shouldn't be alive; in GetBackers they get back what shouldn't be gone.

Two guys and one girl going from place to place looking for trouble and getting out of it in both anime. They both leave you with somewhat an unfinished feeling and thought of bigger story behind it. Both have supernatural elements and somewhat similar characters. Hatenkou Yuugi is a bit more darker do, but they are both lighthearted to watch and finish.

Zombie Loan and Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro are quite similar they both solve mysteries and the main females are both very timid and shy. Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro is more gorey than zombie loan but if you like that stuff and mysteries there both perfect for you.

Zombie-Loan and Bus Gamer share the same kind of low-budget animation and development, the art's pretty much alike too, although Bus Gamers level is lower then that of Zombie-Loan.

They both have similar main characters. Both main characters have shinigami eyes. Zombie loan's main character has eyes which allows her to see a dark ring around a person's neck. This ring symbolizes the person's impending death; once they are marked to die, a gray line, which is invisible to normal people, appears on their neck, and once the ring turns completely black, the person dies. Tsukihime's main character has shinigami eyes which allow him to see lines on all objects living or not which if he cuts (with a knife he has had with him since he was a child) will be destroyed or  read more
