Beginning with the obvious, both Re:Zero and Steins;Gate were animated by the same studio, White Fox and both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities.
Now for the juicy stuff, both Okabe and Subaru are quite different from the usual anime protagonist and aren't meant to be self-inserts for viewers. They both must overcome obstacles to save the ones they love and both feature thrilling story lines and engaging characters that break the mold of most anime tropes like Tsunderes (with Steins;Gate's Kurisu) and Moé characters (Re:Zero's Rem). The authors want you to see the MCs go through very difficult (and sometimes gory) hardships in order to reach their goals. In a nutshell both are:
- Animated by White Fox
- Time Traveling Related
- Have fresh Non-Self Insert Protagonists
- Mold Breakers of Anime Tropes
and both anime titles have a thing for colons and semi-colons. read more
Time traveling is always a popular theme for anime.But it is risky because it can cause a lot of plot holes.Then again those two anime don't have a problem about that at all.Both mc have similar goal and reason for using time travel again and again.Steins;Gate hasn't got any real fight scenes but it has much philosophical approach about time travel.Both are done by the same studio so animation style is similar too.
Both anime revolve mostly around an ordinary guy who does his best to protect those he cares about, no matter how many times he has to do it:
- Both Guys who are suddenly caught in a spiral of disastrous events
- Both have something to do with the Butterfly Effect/Travelling back in time
- Both MC's are pretty powerless and non-significant at first
- Both MC's will stop at nothing to save those they care about
The protagonist is forced in a continuous time loop and attempts to redo the reality by making different choices with the help of knowledge from previous loops - in a way that would result in less gruesome fate, most of the time to protect his close ones.
Similar theme of live die repeat. In case of steins gate he doesnt get to do the dying part.
-Both mc's start to lose it after a while.
-A romatic relationship is slowly forming with the mc in bith shows.
-Steins;Gate is more of a sci fi and re zero more of a fantasy anime.
-Both can be very dreadful and life draining at times.
-The ending is spectacular in both shows.
All and all if you enjoy the one I believe you will enjoy the other one. Steins;Gate can be difficult to watch specialy early on but dont give up. The end is what matters.
Re:Zero and Steins;Gate featured an MC with similiar power: time travel. And the 'time travel' aspect of these series isn't just some cool sci-fi material, it has a little dark element attached to it: 'death'. Both MC tried to save people around them from the hand of the reaper, they also touched upon the psychological aspect of the MC as the only one who remember the events from before the timeline is altered. Also, both series are produced by the same studio and have fantastic, fluid animation. However, while Steins;Gate is a bit slow on the beginning, Re:Zero show its dark element right on the very first ep.read more
Despite opposite settings, both of these series feature time looping as the main plot device and strong character development, plus similar themes of selflessness and looking forward rather than behind.
Both of these animes have the same theme of going back in time to save a life, but in one the person has to die in order to change time while the other simply has to microwave a burrito. Other than that the series as a whole seems completely different.
“Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu” and “Steins;Gate” have the concept of going back in time. Problems are always arising for the main characters. Whenever they think they can catch a break, something around them has to go wrong. Furthermore, their mental state will be affected from seeing the people around them suffer. With that being said, these anime can have a very dark and serious tone. While “Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu’s” storyline is set in a fantasy world, “Steins;Gate” focuses on a real life aspect.
In Steins;Gate the mc makes a time leap machine and the plot becomes saving his friend by time leaping. In re:zero, The mc also uses time leap to save his friends. In the both series, they need to figure the way how to save people. In rezero, by triggering specific events, meanwhile in Steins;Gate by redoing his actons.
If you've seen them both then you'll know this is an obvious comparison.
Slight spoilers for story premises here, but nothing that would ruin either for you if you haven't seen them yet.
Both of these Anime are by White Fox, and have more or less the same story structure and premise: The main character has the power to rewind time somehow, and this interferes with the natural order of things. As such, they lose people they care about, and end up going back again and again, growing increasingly desperate, as they try to get the perfect result.
Both stories have a great deal of intrigue and mystery to them as well and are, at least in my opinion, utterly unpredictable.
Both well worth watching, I highly recommend both.read more
Both shows have a very similar concept around them. Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both produced by the same studio, White Fox. The main protagonists of both shows can act like goofballs at times, but become serious and dependable when it comes to helping others out. I don't want to say too much as it's best to go into both of these shows blind and I definitely recommend both of them. Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both fantastic shows produced by White Fox though Re:Zero is very controversial at times. This is only my opinion though.
the similarities
1)same studio
2)same topic- time travel
3)both the MC travels time to save someone.
4)both the MC are goofy but when the situations calls they become serious.
difference
1)Steins;gate is a science fiction while Re:zero is a fantasy.
Both have to do with going back in time to save someone they care about. The protagonists are both funny and goofy but have a darker tragic side. However,
Re:Zero has more gore and takes place in a fantasy environment and Steins;Gate is more realistic.
-both are related to different worldline and travelling back time
-both the MC are air headed but serious in tough situations
-both MC travel back time to save someone
-both shows have really cute girls...
and interesting plot and twist....
Both start happy and lighthearted but descend into madness.
The main character undergoes extreme stress, due to certain events.
Both involve time travel and returning to the same time.
The main guys have many similarities.
Both involve a romance.
Both have a cat girl named F(a/e)ris and a trap.
The vibe from both series are very alike; intense, hilarious and much more. The main characters are also very similar; they are not afraid to speak their mind to express themselves, and they often go out of their way to help other people. What's more similar is that both series deal with time-travel where the main character is able to go back into time to make better decisions to avoid similar incidents of occurring again.
-Both feature hilarious protagonists
-Both involve... hmm... how shall we say this without giving to much away.. A way of 'resetting'
-Made by the same studio, similar art style
-Start slow but reveal the truth later
In both anime the main character starts from the beginning each time he fails to save his beloved person, both see them die again and again in multiple ways and that experience takes its toll, They both lose hope at one point but someone gives them the courage to not stop and continue.
Trime travel plays a major role in both animes. Rintarou Okabe and Subaru Natsuki are able to travel backward in time in order to save someone they care about. This time travel happens multiple times throughout the anime.
-Both anime tell about LIVE - FAIL/DIE - REPEAT sequence.
-Both main character try to save someone that important to them using time machine (for Steins;Gate) and using checkpoint (for Re:Zero).
-Both anime contain a lot of emotion, especially desperation, fear, and love.
-Both anime have most popular waifu (Kirisu for Steins;Gate and Rem for Re:Zero).
Both Animes follow similar time travel theme where MC can go back and still remember the other timeline to accomplish a goal. I would also mention Madoka being in the same league.
P.S. this is my favorite genre
Both the series , the guys have an ability to go back to the past , in both the series the girls are targeted for their life , in both the series the guys go back again and again to prevent the deaths of their nakama , and in both the series they reach success but by passing through a long line of pain !!
Two incredible series about time-travelling and the absolute chaos that attempting to change the past can do to one's psyche. They're both mature series with fantastic story-telling, characters, music, and art. Steins;Gate is in my opinion the superior of the two due to its superior story-telling and cast, but Re:Zero is fantastic in its own right.
Carismatic main character that sometimes acts like an air-headed but it's not, at least not that much. Time traveling, deaths, same studio, interesting plot.
The two main protagonists, Okabe and Subaru, work with time whether it is through a machine or an ability (There is more similarities with this. However, I will leave it a surprise.). The story revolves around take action and changing the future, otherwise known as the Butterfly Effect. Both animes are made by the same studios and are enjoyable to watch after the first few episodes.
The male protagonists are very alike, as they share the traits of being humorous, caring, energetic, and emotional. The female protagonist believes in the male protagonist, which is something both anime share as well. Both shows have a lot of humor now and then, and they also have mysteries that the protagonists have to solve through thorough investigation. In the end, I honestly think that if you loved Steins;Gate, you most likely will love Re: zero as well. Not only that, they are from the same studio. The only difference between the two is the setting and the difference darkness between the two anime. Re: Zero is mostly the definition of Steins;Gate and the fantasy world. My favorite of this season, as I love deep and dark psychological anime. If you love dark and psychological anime, you most definitely will like this as well.read more
Both have almost the same concept of time travel. A guy who travel to past to save his friends from death.
The idea is: if you liked Re:Zero, you might love Steins;Gate
Before you click away because you're thinking, 'this can't be an accurate recommendation', just hear me out. There's only one thing that these two have in common: redo parts of life to save the ones you love. It sometimes may seem impossible to keep on going, but keep trying and don't give up - this is the core message in both.
So if you like these kind of underlying messages (like I did), you won't regret watching them.
Compelling portrayals of despair and the growing feeling of madness and regret over one's actions repeated over a time loop. Also, both White Fox productions.
Both are time travel series.
Both have the concept of going back in time to save someone.
Hilarious protagonists that are total air heads XD
But there is a difference in the way that use to return the time back
in re zero he must die and return to chikpont its more like Game
but in steins:gate they Using scientific ways that are more realistic
Rather than being able to time-travel, Re:Zero gives Subaru(Main character) the ability to "reset" time up to a particular point as soon as he dies.
Similar to Steins;Gate, the main protagonists are both thrown in the dilemma of going through trials again and again to obtain the desired result. However, this journey of trying to get the best situation affects their character and drains them of their "Humanity" at some point.
Events will unfold as their journey continues.
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu is probably the most popular anime released during the summer of 2016. From watching both Steins gate and Re:zero I've noticed how both the Main Characters go back in time some how to stop current events from happening. Steins Gate is by far the most confusing anime I've every seen, even episode 1 was very confusing, but everything makes sense when they explain it around the middle part of the series. If you are looking for romance in Steins Gate, then theres not that much at the beginning but there is quite a lot of romance towards the end. Steins Gate is also one of the most "Feels" anime I've seen. Be sure to check it out! I'd rate Steins Gate 9/10read more
It reminds me a little to re: zero only that the protagonist in my opinion is better developed.
really the characters will like you, as much as its history.
Thanks to this, I fell in love with travel in time.
It is a masterpiece.
I only saw myself this season, I have to see the rest but I'm content to see that end.
Arguably the best time travel story I have ever had the pleasure to watch, Steins;Gate offers the time traveling thriller story with genuinely interesting characters without using as much gore as portrayed in Re:Zero.
Both shows are about how time travel has consequences, and can cause emotional stress for the time traveler. Re:Zero has more fantasy than science, but if you want a show to give you similar feels to Steins;Gate, this is the show.
Both share a high level of comedy and writing. But what really links these shows are the main characters. They start off with a (seemigly) happy MC surrounded by friends they care a lot for. Then said friends die. Again. And Again. And Again. Inability to change the past leads to worsening mental states as they begin fighting not only fate, but themselves as well. In Steins;Gate this only happens in the second half of the show; in Zero, it's the whole thing. If you liked Okabe's character deconstruction and are looking for something similar, then I highly recommend this show. Just beware, it's a very dark show, despite what the first few episodes might lead you to believe.read more
Both were made by the same studio, basically meaning there are similarities in the animation quality.
Both of the main characters face the tragedy of failing to save the people they care about over and over again.
Both deal with the usage of time travel.
Firstly both anime is produced by the same studio. MC has similar time traveling related abilities. Author represents how both mc stuggles through hardship again again to save the person they care about. Both anime have it's beautiful share of characters that are loveable. Gives of a similar vibe even though both are not from the same genre!
Both shows follow their main character through traumatic events where they end up going back in time to fix their mistakes only to make more. As they attempt to fix all of their problems, they end up suffering from the consequences of altering history.
Both animes have the main character attempting to save what he loves the most, and they both go through a series of serious torment, confusion and desperation in order to achieve his goal while the other characters are almost clueless on why the main character is acting different all of a sudden.
To be honest since seeing Steins;Gate I have been looking for a psychological thriller along the same lines. With that in mind, now I've seen Re:Zero it's definitively in the same ballpark. Both have lead male protagonists that travel through time to try and save their loved ones while continuing to be effected by the pain of losing them over and over. The shows also have very well fleshed out character and story development along with a broad range of emotion. Many comedic, mysterious and dark tones make the feel of the shows to be parallel.
Both have got time travelling and a protagonist who wants to save their friends and they are truly caring about their friends and cares nothing but their friends
They both have time travel elements. Both characters go through similar revelations and events and have huge character development. Both are thrilling and I recommend you watch it if you love this.
these two anime have a match in terms of the storyline where the main character is stuck in the failure of the rescue of the person he loves that makes this anime may be no different is the two anime is in production by the same studio
I don't think there's anything similar to Steins;Gate but one of those shows that made me feel at least some of the feels i have with Steins;Gate is Re:Zero. It has a totally different way of traveling back to the past, and is amazing, i totally recommend it.
Both series focus on the protagonist who comes into a situation where he has time travel powers. Both Subaru and Okabe go trough a lot of suffering trying to overcome the obstacles they face. As the viewer you get attached to the characters and just really want both protagonists to succeed and find happiness and get an end to all their suffering. Eventually both protagonists find friends that support them no matter what, even if they don't know everything the protagonist knows. Like that Subaru manages to get trough thanks to Rem and Emilia, while Okabe is supported by Kurisu trough all world lines.
If u like character driven time travel stories you'll definitely enjoy both steins;gate and re:zero. If you liked either one I'm pretty sure you'll like the other tooread more
Both of these animes had made me scared and excited while watching. If you like steins;gate you will definitely love re:zero. Both characters possess an incredible power about time and space.
In Re;zero, the explanations are a bit lesser than Steins;gate but both anime have a same kind of thing. They both have Time-travelling things & changing the past type option. Both are very inspirational for people who thinks to change their past or wants to change as a better version of them selves. At the starting, you might not understand it fully & might wanna quit watching but take my reccomendation & continue watching to episode 18 in Re;zero, I'm damn sure it'll become one of your favourite anime.
Despite having very different settings, both series feature a similar plot structure in which the MC finds himself repeatedly going back into time to protect those he cares about. The MCs are similar personality-wise, and both series explore the psychological ramifications of failing multiple times.
if you want an anime with perfect character development (and that contributes to their deconstruction later), interesting plot twists that leave you stuck all the time, an intelligent anime that makes you think full of hidden messages and the best protagonists of all times, steins;gate is the right choice
Both shows are centered around the use of some kind of time travel (such as time loops) by the protagonist to save their loved ones; Re:Zero is basically Steins;Gate in an isekai. Both shows feature some amount of suffering, and they were both animated by studio White Fox.
Both have main characters that travel back in time
Both have main characters that suffer a lot throughout the series
Both have main characters that try to protect all of there friends
Both have main characters that travel back in time to save a girl
Both have main characters with Chūnibyō personalities
If your looking for a main character that's similar to Hououin Kyouma or Subaru check out either one.
Both anime has similar type MC that suffers for saving his dear peoples.Both MC's are great & Masterpiece.Highly recommended anime and also must watch for you.
Time travel: Both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero involve time travel in their plotlines, although they approach the concept in different ways.
Science fiction elements: Both series contain elements of science fiction, such as alternate realities, advanced technology, and supernatural abilities.
Complex characters: Both shows feature complex, multi-dimensional characters with their own motivations and flaws. The main characters, Okabe Rintaro and Subaru Natsuki, both face difficult challenges and undergo significant character development throughout the series.
High stakes: Both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero involve high stakes situations, where the actions of the characters can have far-reaching consequences. Failure to achieve their goals can result in catastrophic outcomes.
Plot twists: Both series are known for their plot twists, with unexpected events occurring throughout the story that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Overall, Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both thought-provoking, engaging anime series that explore complex themes and concepts.read more
Same concept, different style
Steins;Gate is more realistic and Re:Zero has a lot of fantasy elements. Both are great in their own ways so I highly recommend both to watch
Don't be fooled by its Harem setup! These 2 titles may both have male MCs that are surrounded by "waifu" characters but both of these tackle matters in a very serious manner. Both of these stories strike hard emotionally and go darker than you'd ever expect from a waifu-heavy Anime. Both also use a Time-Travel concept.
In Both anime the male MCs has to go in the past again and again(and suffer a lot{specially in Re:Zero}) to save their love however one is scientifically developed story and the other is fantasy, But still if you are looking for well developed time travel stories this is where you should definitely go.
Both Re:Zero and Steins;Gate were animated by the same studio, White Fox and both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities. Basically Steins;Gate but Isekai without Sci-fi. And here is a thing: a romantic relationship is slowly forming with the mc in both shows.
Both main characters have this time related ability that allows them to go back into the past, albeit Re: Zero is more magic and fantasy related and Steins;Gate being a sci-fi anime, they still have the same theme. Both of the MCs will stop at nothing even if it's to repeat the same events over and over to save the people they love. Not to mention, both are made by the same studio and have done an amazing anime adaptation on both animes.
If you want pain and suffering, and are a fan of Steins;Gate and other psycho-thriller animes, Re: Zero is the one for you. Tuturu~

1) Both male MCs can initiate time travelling(with the exception of some cases occurring
accidentally)
2) Both male MCs initiate time travelling to help their friends (all female)
3) Both TV shows have a female character which is very supportive of respective male MC
no matter which world lines they are in (although they both hate the respective male
MC at the beginning of both TV shows but end up loving them, which is a classic plot)
TIME TRAVEL is possible in both and only main characters can do it
Both mc have 2 cute girls O_O
Both Mc sees the person they love will die and gonna save them
Both mc have same personality
And you love both anime
- Both tackle the theme of the MC going back in time in order to save someone precious. In Steins Gate, it gets much more complex compared to Re:Zero Through, with the addition of world lines, time loops, and going forward in time. As in Re:Zero it's just about going back.
- A big difference between these two shows is the world settings. Steins Gate is more sci-fi-like. Meanwhile the world of Re:Zero is set in an Isekai Fantasy World.
- Both shows have wholesome and dark moments, really dark moments. To the point where you think there is no hope left for the main character. Until the big satisfying comeback comes forth.
- Both main characters are pretty goofy in nature, although I would lean towards Subaru being slightly more cringe than Okabe. They also act pretty similarly when something serious happens. Mental breakdownsread more
Both the anime has the main protagonist who has to suffer to protect his friends. They can repeat their actions and they can solve the mistake they have done.Both the anime belongs to thriller genre.
- time travel and time leap
- protagonist seeing close ones dying every time time they time travel
- protagonist have to do something different in each time loop to keep everyone safe.
Let’s do more screwing around with time travel! That’s pretty much what goes on in Steins;Gate, in which a bunch of psuedo-scientists stumble upon a device that allows them to communicate with the past and alter the flow of history.
But the goal of the cast here isn’t to prevent some major tragedy from occurring. Not at first, anyway. Eventually, all they’re trying to do is clean up their own mess, as their meddling brings all sorts of butterfly effect consequences to bear.
- Both are involved with time
- Both main protagonists are chads
- Both have big depression
- Both have those ight girls
One difference is that one is an isekai and the other is in today's world
so yeah
I would recommend it if you like the other
Re:Zero is the fantasy version of Steins;Gate. Both have very similar plots: the main character is able to time travel a short time into the past. Both also have very similar ways of storytelling as being animated by the same studio, while showing the true horrors of time travel and failure. If you liked Steins;Gate, you'll love Re:Zero.
Both of these animes have a protagonist who can retry his recent actions in life. They are trying their best to reach the optimal ending, where no one dies.
Re:Zero is an Isekai, Steins Gate is a Slice-of-life with sci-fi elements.
Both have many bishoujo characters, they are partly harem-type.
If you liked the time travel aspect of Steins;Gate than you can watch Re:Zero to realize how overrated Re:Zero is cause the time travel aspect in Re:Zero sucked.
The male protagonists in both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero have a similar goal. I won't say which goal because spoilers. They try to accomplish this goal through some sort of time travel. Steins;Gate elaborates a lot on the concepts of time, whereas in Re:Zero a more mysterious kind of power is involved to make time travel possible.
The main characters in their stories each struggle to save those who are precious to them by going back to the past.
But the way they do it is very different.
For the main character in Re:Zero, he does so using the ability he calls "Return by dead". But the requirement to use this ability is very risky. Which is where he has to feel the pain first. Then he returned to the past. If he used his ability often, he could be mentally crushed from feeling the pain too often.
For the main character in Steins; Gate, he uses a machine which can send memories to the past. But there is a possibility of failure. That is, he could be erased in his world.
They both suffer because it is their own choice. But that's what makes their story so amazing.read more
Both have an amazing story ,even if they wouldn't be kinda similar but
in both anime there is time travelling and the protagonist has to deal with death in the past timelines and they cant really tell the other people about their problems.
Both animes involve time travel and the protagonist going back several times at the same time and suffering physically and mentally to resolve the situation in the best possible way.
Both anime are amazing, especially rezero
Both anime mcs have some sort of power that lets them return to a certain point
Both anime have a mc that is pushed to their mental limit
Time travel related - personally for both ReZero and Steins Gate, I had to check the episode number to see if I was watching the right episode and not rewatching the previous one. Both really enjoyed watching! Recommend checking the order of the Steins Gate sequels :)
The main character dies over and over again, each time resetting his life a few days, to try and save his friends.
Only similar to Steins; Gate in concept, the execution is very different.
Adapted by the same studio, similar time-travel mechanism. Both the protagonists; Okabe and Subaru are stuck in a loop and face many obstacle from saving their loved ones. Using knowledge from previous loops. he is able to go further.
If you like re;zero, you will love steins gate. Both have similar slow beginnings and during the middle of the show they both throw an insane episode at you, changing the pace of the show to extremely fast paced. Re;zero has return by death, whereas Steins;Gate has actual time travel, both are extremely similar and I feel that the Re:zero anime was inspired by Steins;Gate.
If you like the emotional drama of re;zero and how Subaru is going to use his time looping abilities to save his friends, you should watch steins gate as its entire plot is about the multiverse and time travel, the story is also great.
Both protagonist has a time traveling ability in some different shape or form.
Both are extremely emotional and character focused.
The attention to detail in both stories are insane.
Both have extensive amounts of drama.
Both are great examples of the time-travel genre. They both have main characters who use time travel to try and change the future. The difference is that in Steins;Gate, the protagonist uses a scientific method, while in Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, he uses a magical method.
Imagine a world where fate demands to be corrected and it is willing to go through an endless binding cycle to achieve that purpose. The curse of time travel being portrayed at its best where the ones involved either witness gruesome deaths or experience it themselves. Happy endings are hard to come by but the future remains uncertain, it is up to the individual to decide the closure they deserve.
‘Boku dake ga Inai Machi’ showcases a game of cat and mouse that has seen it being dragged on for over 10 years in which all the tragedies that unfolded before us are planned by one single entity. The rich storyline that is full of substance accompanied by dark striking character expressions will undeniably leave your heart pumping while trying to anticipate the outcome of one’s action.
‘Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu’ convene its story through multiple layers of secluded mystery where it is not known how each event are related. Unlike ‘Boku dake ga Inai Machi’, this mystery-base story plays right into the show’s strength due to the final villain not being revealed blatantly while their true purpose remains an enigma. Commendation should also be given to the series with the way it prioritises its vision, the romance/harem is certainly noticeable but never overwhelm the true objective which is the storyline. Audience would certainly appreciate the character interactions and comedy which sets a lighter tone away from the frightening events that has all but left us bewitched.

Both have the time jump where the main actor is able to change bad history in his favor. Both are realy heart touching.
Both try to befriend pretty girls
Both try to save all of their friends
Both have the agonny if the fate time can be changed
Diference in them is that Zero takes a normal guy to alternate game like world
The art is nicer
The gore is worse yet not so autentic, the deads are more epic yet kinda unreal but well thats how i see it.
In year this are the best new animes i seen, that are psychological, apealing a u dont want to be in skinn of the main charakter, yet on other hand u want it.read more
While BokuMachi is set in our modern world and Re:Zero is in a fantasy world, both anime have the basic premise where the protagonist has the ability to reset their experience to a certain point in order to avoid a dead end. Further similarities lie in the fact that both characters have very little control on this phenomenon. Note that the series focus on using this ability to avoid bad end, rather than getting the bottom of this mysterious phenomenon.
the deep story of change the past is here in a bigger way for only 12 episodes. Here we have the one, who only can time-skipping and we have the problem, wich have to distroy. But in Boku dake ga inai machi.. the protagonist has only one chance to help the person and change the past. Police/Detective/psychological/Mystery... here we can't find the genre 'comedy'
Similar themes. The main character goes through the same timeline many times trying to save people and to set things right. Both of these shows have amazing cliffhangers and great art, and you'll watch one episode after another.
The only difference would be that Re: Zero is set in a fantasy world with different races, magic and creatures, while Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) is set in a world similar to the real one we live in. If you enjoy one, you'll likely enjoy the other, though.
They are similar in the sense that the MC are able to change the history, It is also both breathtaking to know what will happen on the next episode. Consider it a different perspective everytime you watch.
- Both are very dark Thriller shows...
- Both has time-loop themes [ no, Re:Zero isn't time travel anime, look at Anime Man's video about this show ]
- Both has male MC's who tries to save the people they care about.... [ Loooove xD ]
- Both are pretty new/modern animes who reached TOP 100 in notime, they're pretty popular too..[ haters included :) ]
- Ok, I won't lie that both shows has great OP's/OST's which will make you're ears orgasm by themselves [ ok, this is dumb but whatever ]
- In both you somehow start to feel for MC's for what they went, kinda self-insert animes...
- Both at very end of each and evey episode leaves you at big cliffhanger's...[ I think that's good ]
- By the way, if you like graphical violence - this is for you, just don't expect 90's level of gore/curses and other non-moe stuff..
> Re:Zero has 'fantasy' aspects like - all rpg creatures, magic and other stuff...while Boku dake.. is more 'real life' - modern day life without any magic/superpowers/monsters...
> And Re:Zero has waifu's [ Ogre sisters are the best - so gtfo if you don't like it D ]read more
Going back in time after a life threatening situation with a destiny and fate you are so called put in to save a life? This is the foundation of the plot concept that both Boku dake ga Inai Machi and Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu contain.
Both anime have a few things in common. Dealing with time travel and a heroine going back in time to help someone special.
The both have received good reviews and plenty of reason to watch.
○ The protagonists have a similar power
○ The protagonists aren't completely useless!
○ Heavily focused on psychological/emotional elements
○ Great shows of 2016!
The protagonists in these series strive to make a good deed or to make a difference in the world.They both travel back in time if anything bad would have happened. They are taking a journey towards that difference that they would make.
-Both involve a protagonist repeating the same 'scene' over and over again
-In that sense, both are about leaping timelines
-Some characters are similar (ex. Subaru leaping back to save Rem, Satoru leaping back to save Hinazuki)
Anime almost have the same idea of traveling through time in order to save the lives of their friends who had died before the travel process through time.
If you liked the mind-blown feeling when Satoru use time-travel to save the people he cared about, then you must watch Subaru using his Return by Death power in Re:Zero.
Boku dake ga Inai Machi sets in the real world while Re:Zero showcase a young teenager got sent into a fantasy world mysteriously. Don't get fooled by the cliché of an MC getting involved in a fantasy because Re:Zero will offer lots of twists and turns when you least expect it.
Ok, this may sound stupid but the only persuasive argument as to why I recommend this to Re: Zero was the concept of time loop that almost has the same concept as to Tom Cruise's "At the edge of Tomorrow."
-Both have slimier stories
-Both have great main character that could travel in time..
(for Re:zero it's dying.. but for boku it's screaming out loud i guess)
But i prefer Re zero as the best of time travel anime's of all Time :")
Both series involve the protagonist using time travel to solve their problems. Boku Dake ga inai Machi deals with heavier issues and more realistic issues (like bullying and child abuse) while Re:Zero is set in a fantasy and therefore the problems are more set in fantasy although still applicable to real life (discrimination). Both series are for anime fans that enjoy darker anime.
These two stories revolve around the idea of traveling back in time and fixing what has happened in a previous life and the concept of the butterfly effect. With both anime protagonists trying to fix things right, many of their actions may have a wrong twist to them. They are both interesting to watch, either in the fantasy lands of Re: Zero or the twisted year of 1988 in Boku dake ga Inai Machi.
Re:Zero is my favorite this spring 2016 and boku dake ga inai machi of winter 2016.. it really feels like im rewatching boku dake ga inai machi while watching Re:Zero but its only difference is the genres of these two.. Re:Zero is a dark anime while boku dake ga inai machi is not but Re:zero is still worth watching..
Not only do these stories share a similar premise of going back in time to same your friends, but they also share many similar features as well, such as irredeemably evil villains. Also, both had a romance subplot that managed to piss off every single one of it's fans by deliberately not shipping everybody's OTP and sinking them faster than a discount refugee ship from Syria. If you can tolerate one, you can definitely tolerate the other!
Both revolve around time travel to erase past mistakes and fight for a better future. They have really good characters (with similar main characters) and animation, both have a very interesting and engaging story and you really get invested in whats going on.
If you enjoyed Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, you might also like Erased, as both explore the concept of time travel in intriguing ways, albeit with different approaches. They share a similar complexity and offer interesting character development. In my opinion, these two anime series are among the top five time travel anime; however, this comparison may not appeal to everyone since Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu leans more towards a shonen isekai fantasy with a younger target audience, while Erased caters to an older audience as a seinen.
movies like final destination, rezero and this anime have one thing in common. the mc has to prevent tragedy based on his acquired knowledge of future events. if thats what youre looking for then rezero is the way to go
Although the universe of these two works has a completely different setting, they share interesting similarities.
- Both deal with the supernatural element of returning in time in order to save people, although in Erased, Revival is activated by the death of people around, and not by the death of the protagonist.
- In addition, in both works, the protagonists make use of the information gathered before the return in time and solve mysteries that allow them to follow the timeline forward.
- Both Re: Zero and Boku Dake ga Inai Machi present a theme involving attitudes such as self-condemnation, suffering and explore the psychological of the protagonist resulting from his losses. This also makes the two characters extremely human.
- Both protagonists, initially, show a greater difficulty in creating bonds with other people, although Erased focuses more on that element, in my opinion.
- Both the protagonists' narratives, Satoru and Subaru, involve building and inspiring a heroic figure for those around them. In Erased, Satoru is inspired by Wonder Guy, while in Re: Zero, Subaru is based on what he means to Rem.
- In both works, the perspective of a female character influences the main character's way of thinking. In Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, Airi Katagiri is talked about, while in Re: Zero, that role belongs to Rem (and Emilia, of course).
- Both animes present heavy situations and cold reality, portraying very pertinent questions. This element is more seen in Erased, however, with the reality of mistreatment, bullying and the impacts of the lack of a paternal / maternal reference.read more
Fighting fate with time. Erased and Re:Zero are both excellent stories of fighting a determined fate via time travel.
Both anime give a standard MC who ends up into an unexpected world. Erased has Satoru transport into 1988, with Re:Zero transferring Subaru to the foreign land called Lugnica. In these movements, both Satoru and Subaru use their gained time travel powers to change the worlds of before in hopes of keeping loved ones safe.
With Erased being a murder mystery, Re:Zero is much more dramatic. All in all, both are great supernatural psychological anime with slow romance to spare.
Both Invole a form of timetravel. while RE:Zero is a lot more dramatic and at times hard to watch (in a good way) Erased is a good story told to the end in one compact season.
Erased and Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu are the two anime whose main characters have the power of time travel and can change them, the two main characters in this anime also use the power of time travel to save the main heroine. Re: Zero has more action and dramatic scenes, while Erased has tense scenes and the main character has to think smarter to do something.
erased is very similar to re:zero Erased follows the Story of Satoru Fujinuma who is a 29 year old aspiring manga artist with the ability to travel backwards in time to prevent terrible things from happening. After the murder of a loved on he is launched back further in time than he has ever gone to prevent the tragedy from taking place. its exactly like re:zero.
Like Re:Zero, this is a series about someone who can reverse time to stop a tragedy before it happens. Satoru Fujinuma gets sent back to a few minutes before the tragic event, and has saved a number of people with his uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time.
Re:Zero and KonoSuba take the same 'NEET transported to a medieval-fantasy' premise and go in differing directions... yet still somehow end up with their respective leads in mental anguish of varying extremes due to harem-related woe.
Re:Zero has its lead die over and over and over and over and over again trying to save the girls he encounters in his new world. KonoSuba also has its lead die from time to time... due to his moronic (yet lovable) band of misfit female party members that make him want to punch himself/them in the face.
One is a drama. The other is a comedy. But both will most likely appeal to one that the likes the other. This is because, via equivalent exchange, they give what the other cannot.read more
In each of these series they have a very similar premise and atmosphere. The main protagonist is taken to an alternate RPG-style fantasy world and are left there with a bare minimum skill set and the track suits on their back. They each meet a female who helps guide them in the new world. KonoSuba takes a harem/comedy route and in ReZero it has a much more serious tone with more of a dramatic story.
The main character from both anime are sent to another world. Both are Hikikimori and have knowledge of RPG mechanics. He may seemed weak and ordinary but have a special power unlike any other. They meet people who will help him go back to his world. The main female has the same voice actors. If you loved Megumin from Konosuba then you will love Emilo too. Both anime deals with adventure and comedy.
KonoSuba and Re:zero have the similar plot/concept of starting from scratch. Aside from the similar plot/concept, they also have a beautiful female protagonist that will guide the character, and the tracksuit as well. Consider Re:zero as the darker version of KonoSuba since Re:zero has the dark drama feels in it.
Similar premises of being teleported to another fantasy world (due to death (?)), overly self conscious 4th-wall breaking main characters, and just pleasures to watch :)
Both series feature a shut-in NEET being teleported to a fantasy parallel world.
Re:Zero is significantly darker and dramatic whereas KonoSuba is essentially all comedy. Though Re: Zero does have some light comedy.
Both shows are very similar in terms of the environment being a parallel world. The main character starts from nothing except for a track suit. They both have a female ally who helps them throughout the show.
KonoSuba is more comedy oriented while Re:Zero is more dark and dramatic. Both are amazing series to watch and if you like one you'll definitely like the other.
After living in the normal world you are suddenly sent to a parallel world against your will. This is what Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! and Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu have in common. Both main characters have to start from scratch, as in they have no money to begin with to purchase anything, as if they are put in a game with no set items given to you "level 0".
Both characters are thrown into a similar situation in that they're thrown into a fantasy world and have adventures. I would say that the adventures in re:zero are a lot more depressing though and the protagonist is a lot less fortunate although having a lot of the same quirks as Kazuma from Konosuba.
Both contain a harem.
The main girls (Emilia and Aqua) look very similar.
The main guys are similar (at least at the beginning).
Both have a well-developed fantasy world.
Both take the main character and make him die in some way in the real world, and are brought to a fantasy world by some sort of supernatural force, and the fantasy world is very similar a MMORPG. Kono suba takes a light and comedic (and fan service) route, where as Re:zero is more mature, story ridden, complex, and has more romance. I recommend both.
-Well Both of the Main Characters Goes to a Game-Like World only that Kazuma Dies and then gets Reborn While the Main Character from Re:Zero get sent on a Game-Like World for Supernatural Reasons.
-Both of the Main Character are with a Girl. But Aqua is a Goddess while the Main Female Protagonist from Re:Zero is a Witch.
-Both Of the Anime have Extremely Similar Concept as well.
-Both are Light Novels Adaptation.
-And both of The Fights are Like 5-6 Minutes Long as well tho.
🚫The Only Different is that The Konosuba is More of a Shounen While Re:Zero Is Trying to a Seinen Anime tho.
But I Still do recommend the 2 Of them if you like one of them tho.read more
Anime these two very similar, as both Fantasy,Adventure and comedy.
And both we find that the two champions of the two Anime has moved to another world, and this world meet it with a beautiful girl, and become these circumstances the girl to accompany them in their adventure.
These anime are basically the same thing. Shut in NEETs get sent to fantasy RPG world in a track suit and are aided by magical chicks. Both also die multiple times. Difference is Konosuba is more of a comedy, while Re:Zero has a more serious tone. Both are great. It all comes down to preference.
Two Shut-in who found themselves, in a alternate RPG game world, where the reality sets in that they both have to used their wits to survive, while Konosuba is more of a harem based genre, I can't say for sure if Re: Zero would be the same, I just based the recommendation on the story plot.
They're both really, really, really similar to each other. Both are about a protagonist being sent to a fantasy world. Where the protagonist finds themselves surrounded by the opposite gender.
Konosuba differs with a comedy focus to it while Re:Zero focuses on darker tones and psychological aspects.
Let me first say, I wanted to recommend konosuba from re:zero, but as I found out you cant recommend older shows. But these two are similar in so many ways (story,setting, style) it doesnt really matter. So maybe you're thinking: "why watch another one thats basically the same?" Well here's your answer: The side characters and battles. While re:zero has mainly more "serious" side characters, the characters in konosuba are just hilarious. Also, the battles in re:zero are more epic (more gore), but konosuba has that funny aspect in every fight. So it also depends a bit on your own taste.
The World Setting - In both stories theres a boy from our world being sent into a different world. They are both set in a fantasy world, but the difference between them, is that Kono Suba is a short, funny and a happy show. Re:Zero is long, dark and cruel, but still they are really similar.
Voice Actor - Eyooo I heard that Emilia and Megumin have the same voice actress, ey ey eyo 10/10
Overall these 2 shows just feel really similar and theyre both 10/10 from me.
Im just depressed as shit that theyre over...
Both animes are about a boy who is teletransported to a FANTASY WORLD. The two of them will try to live their new life in the best way they can, but it wouldn't be easy.
The difference between them is that KONOSUBA is comedy and RE:ZERO is more bloody and psychological.
Both of these anime have the same type of the main character. A shut-in who think of the alternate world they get transported to as an RPG. Also, both characters have people who help them out once they make it to said world. However, Konosuba revolves a little more around magic than Re: Zero does yet there is magic in both. Also, the ideas of an RPG are more enforced in Konosuba accompanied with more conedy and lightheartedness than Re: Zero.
Its basically has a same foundation but Konosuba has a much more comical and light plot. So if u like Re:Zero but wud hv made it less serious then konosuba is the thing for u.
First of all both anime is based on a setting which where the mc get summoned/goes to a 異世界 (isekai). It is funny how both the mc have a tracksuits. Also Megumin from Konosuba and Emilia from Re:Zero have the same voice actress: (Rie Takahashi). Re:Zero shows the complex and difficult part of being summoned into a 異世界 (isekai). On the other-hand, Konosuba offers a fun and beautiful part of 異世界 (isekai).
These two works are adapted from Light novel. Another similar feature is the protagonist who is transported to a world medieval-fantasy, in addition the two protagonists will have to work, the protagonist will also encounter his harem.
Fights are about 5-6 minutes long as well. Both in re: zero as in konosuba the protagonist has to save his girls, but this in turn is saved by the girls, these girls accompany the protagonist in their adventure.
A difference is that in Re: Zero I found a lot of drama and lots of screams, instead in konosuba is pure comedy refreshing and a fantastic mood
Both are "from another world" anime and both very enjoyable. KonoSuba can be thought of as a lighter, funner version of Re:Zero. My favorite discription KonoSuba and Re:Zero is,"In Re:Zero, the characters struggle because the world is terrible, while in KonoSuba, the characters struggle because they are terrible in a wonderful world".
- Both animes focus on young NEETs who are invoked in medieval fantasy worlds, both protagonists stay excited, but soon see that their adventure is not exactly what they expected.
- KonoSuba is a more comedy anime, while Re: Zero is more dramatic.
Realistically they are nearly identical just slightly different genres. Konosuba is a comedy while Re Zero is a drama. Both are set in fantasy worlds that they are transported to after they die on Earth. Both have fairly normal and powerless main protagonists. Both main protagonists die a lot. Both have cute girls. Konosuba just makes you laugh while Re Zero makes you contemplate life and it's inherent meaning.
In both, a young boy is transported to a video game rpg like world, both are very well known, and enjoyable. I think someone who likes one, will enjoy the other later, but should expect a change in tone. sao focuses on drama, and konosuba focuses on comedy. its fun to watch konosuba after, because it makes fun of the common tropes shown in sao
In rezero, theres an interesting addition to this series where he has the ability to return to previous times after his death as a form of retry. and only he can remember what happened. This leads to him going through many traumatic deaths, as he tries to save the girl he has fallen for, and the world alongside it.
Im konosuba, the boy runs into a few different female characters, and they set up a guild with an end goal to defeat the demon lord. However inbetween they run into different funny quests, and situations.read more
Like Re:Zero, Konosuba features a flawed, NEET protagonist who is transported to another world. Konosuba focuses on comedy, nevertheless the interesting characters, unique world building, and entertaining action are reminiscent of Re:Zero. Konosuba is perfect for lightening the mood after the dark and oppressive atmosphere of Re:Zero.
Stuck in another world for absolutely no reason at all, the protagonists try to save the world with one special gift they're given. Re:Zero is darker while Konosuba is a parody of the isekai genre with, ironically, better characters.
Starting in another world. The one thing these two share in common is this fact. Konosuba has more lighthearted themes of comedy. Whereas Re:Zero is a much more dark take on the Isekai. The fantasy genre seen in the two shows is very similar in feel and i recommend watching both.
If you like RPG-styled anime, this anime is almost practically the same as Re: Zero. Both the main male character's are NEET's (Known as Not in Education, Employment, or Training), and there are similar personalities in characters from both animes.
Take Megumin for example, she is those types of people who want to protect their allies, or friends, even strangers. Same goes for "Satella".
A another thing, is that for all "Fan-boys", they'll be a lot of Waifu Material, Example, "Satella", Rem from Re: Zero. And maybe Wiz, Eris and Megumin from Konosuba.
Totally fits the RPG style anime, though both are different subjects.
The main character is transported into a fantasy world, although Konosuba is comedy, they are both fantasy and feel very similar. The protagonist is the center of the action, surrounded by mainly girl characters. Both have great waifu material ^^
Both of the MC is transported to another world. In Konosuba, it is pure comedy and light themed anime while in Re:Zero, the story is dark and serious themed. Both are worth to watch.
Both series are phenomenal takes on the Isekai (mc is put into another world) genre. I would go as far as saying they're the two greatest within the genre and even stand out as being among the best of all fantasy anime. KonoSuba performs a lighthearted, comedic take on the genre combining hilarious comedy with a surprisingly well crafted world considering what the anime's goal appears to be and it's compelling cast of lovable idiots. Then there's the plot driven Re:Zero. Re:zero has an equally well thought out world and cast of characters but rather than a satirical outlook, Re:Zero takes the classic "re-spawning" mechanic you would find in almost any game and pushes it to the edge by displaying just how traumatic this would actually be through the main protagonist, Natsuki Subaru. I don't want to give away too much but basically both series are literal god tier and compliment each other so perfectly to the point of which I would describe Re:Zero as the Yin to KonoSuba's Yang. I could not possibly recommend a series more than these two. read more
Re:Zero is similar to Konosuba in many elements. A male character is transported from his normal life in Japan to team up with a group of girls in a fantasy world where they go on adventures together and try to get by with their new lives. The main difference is that Konosuba is a parody and much more comedic where Re:Zero is much more serious in its storytelling. Overall their shared ideas were something I enjoyed a lot and therefore recommend highly.
Both focus on the main character being transported to another world with magic.
the difference is that KonoSuba mostly focuses on comedy, while Re:Zero focuses on having the main character return to life by dying.
Re:Zero is the exact polar opposite of Konosuba, well no that is actually a bad way to describe it.
Re:Zero is just like Konosuba in terms of being an amazing Isekai with very memorable characters, but instead of being a comedy anime, its a psychological horror. But a very well made Isekai that follows a psychological horror theme.
If you liked Konosuba not because of simply its comedy, but also because of its interesting writing, world and characters, then you will definitely love Re:Zero.
Both are isekai, and both MCs are weak but are good strategists. Both always die but are revived one way or another. Some differences could be KonoSuba has the element of comedy, unlike Re:Zero, which is more of a psychological and a drama. Both always get a "satisfactory" end-result most of the time, but it isn't that easy for them to achieve it.
Both are Isekai. A boy got summoned to a fantasy world and has to work together with a group of girls. They both suffer a lot, becaus they try to save the girls they love.
Both anime have a Light Novel. There also is a cross-over between these two. And they are both in the Isekai Quartet.
If you wanna take Isekai Anime to the next level, then this Anime might be the one. Re: Zero is worth the watch. The story is one of the best things about this anime and the main character's development is evident as the show progresses. The complex relationships between the characters are yet another factor that really keeps you hooked to the anime.
Okay hear me out on this one. First off, both are an Isekai. The main characters start off as your generic funny character that is completely useless but eventually you start appreciating them more. Although Konosuba doesn't have much character development, I found the characters begin to grow on me.
Both series I feel have similar types of comedic aspects and the females have like personalities (not directly but that's the best way I can phrase it). Most of everyone has something unique/ quirky about them whether it's in a good way or not and I like that, sometimes I notice how characters are all the same and often stereotypical and generic in Isekai's.
It was not rare for me to crack a smile or even laugh out loud for both anime. Konosuba is more lighthearted and doesn't follow a particular time line per say while Re:Zero is definitely more drama heavy. It is obvious that these are very different but taking the small bits and pieces into consideration (Isekai, comedy, art style, certain character aspects) I recon you will enjoy one if you liked the other.read more
Both shows have the main protagonist looping and time travelling by dying as well as trying out different choices to prevent things from happening in the new timeline, the only difference being as far as I know is the way their checkpoints or save points work when they loop.
If you have watched any of them, I recommend you the other.
Both animes talk about anonymous time traveling without the ability to control when and where will you travel in the past and both animes have the same system of time traveling which is that the MC goes back in time for a certain time and place that the MC had already experienced once the MC dies, so they try to change events by dying and repeating those events again and again.
Re:Zero belongs to the isekai genre and Summertime Render is more of a real-world anime.
Both animes get us just suspecting who are the bad guys through the whole anime and we yet to know in the very last episodes.read more
Both have that "edge of Tomorrow" thing , where MC , finds himself in a loop every time he get's killed, the difference however , was one was more of an isekai thing, while the other was more of a tragedy thing.
-Travelling through time upon death of the protagonist is the MO of both these titles
-Things can pick up really fast when you're not expecting it, which is a great quality to have in such types of shows
-Colourful and Sweet moments mixed in to cleanse your palette from the serious vibes
Re: Zero is an epic fantasy story of notable length with the near exact same approach to Time Travel.
If you enjoyed Summertime Render and want more Time Travel looping Shounen, Re: Zero is the best possible recommendation, not just in similarity of story and time travel mechanics, but also the sheer quality which is on par if not even better.
MC that can loop time when he dies, many mysteries and a lot of suspense. Yep, Re:Zero and Summer Time Render are really alike and that's what we like.
• Both Psychological thriller anime where main protagonist have return by death ability.
• In both the anime time travel is a major plot point with lots of hidden mistery.
• If you like time travel and psychological stuff both are an easy recommendation.
In both the anime Mc has the power to go back in time after he dies but in summer time render that power has a consequence. Both MCs has two love interest. Both the anime has excellent Background scores. Mysterious and turn of events are well done in both the anime. Summertime has very good animation which make its well planned and choreographed fights just better. So if you liked re zero you will certainly enjoy summer time render but even if you didn't give summertime a chance.
These animes have the protagonists had the ability called "Return by Death". It means that they will be back at a certain point in time when they are killed. They need to solve their mysteries from their respective plots with the help of their allies. The mental and psychological suffering of these protagonists are evident in these animes.
Follows a similar storyline in which MC has "return by death" and can return/revive to a point in time by dying. Both go through different interactions with different characters and reach different conclusions though their actions. Summertime Render is more set to a regular timeline rather than Re:Zero's fantasy timeline. The mystery in Summertime Render is definitely more prominent and, like Re:Zero, they have unexpected plot twists.
Summertime Render also has a variety of good-looking characters and a unique story where people fight their dopplegangers
If you like Re:ZERO, you will probably like Summertime Rendering as well. I have only watched the first three episodes so far and have not read the manga, but the plots seem to be similar. This anime has a lot of potential and it could be really good. While I can not make a ton of arguments as I have not seen the full show yet, I have very high hopes for this anime.
These two anime have nearly identical time travel mechanics. In both anime, the main character respawns at his last "save point" after he dies. They each have wonderful settings and supporting characters as well. If you're looking for something to quench your thirst for more Re:Zero, Summertime Render is the perfect option.
Time travel related - Very recently watched this. Especially first episode gives off ReZero vibes to the point its triggering (iykyk). Summertime Render is very underrated and if you have some free time watch this 25 episode show. It is finished so no need to read the manga or wait for another season. The pacing of every episode is amazing watching it all at the edge of your seat!
So far, Summertime Render is looking to be one of the best anime shows similar to Re:Zero. Both main characters share an ability "Return by Death" which essentially means returning back in time after death. That said, they have a similar goal, saving the people from a terrible fate that is about to occur. Re:Zero is an Isekai show (the main character is reincarnated into a fantasy world) and Summertime Render is more on the supernatural and mystery side.
They are both isekais with good for nothing main characters that goes through conflict after conflict after conflict after.... in order to get things done.
In both shows the male MCs are pretty similar, they are thought of as incapable people, they are summoned to a different world with unfavorable conditions and try to make do and live with what they have at hand and their wits. With one way or another they are thrown in some fights they cant win but still try their best to live. As they progress they make friend/allies and enemies.
-Both involve the protagonist being transported to a similar type of fantasy world, in terms of magic, architecture, etc.
-Both protagonists quickly realize that this isn't the fantasy world they dreamed of through betrayal and tragic events
-Both have a large cast of similar female characters
-Both protagonists will 'save' these females in one way or another causing a friendship or in some cases attraction to develop from the female's side
both are almost similar in every way
- the main character go into another world without knowing
- both have a girl name Rem and Raphtalia who have a sad past and they get saved by the
main character and fall in love with the main character both
- main character fill the world they live in is the hell
now the main difference is re:zero is kind of a horror anime and tate no yuusha is a action anime
They are both isekai with good for nothing main characters that goes through conflict after conflict after conflict after.... in order to get things done.
in both of these anime series the MC suddenly gets transported to another world,both mcs are considering themselves useless in the real world and when they get another chance in different worlds they decide to change into a powerful,respectful person.
subaru and Naofumi are similar in many ways but...subaru has a more cheerful character and Naofumi is more serious and self preserved.
both MCs are surrounded by cute girls and allies and enemies who they need to defeat and deal with.
both of them are highly recommended to watch for those who like these kinds of stories :)
-Both anime contain main characters' teleporting to another fantaay world without their will.
-Both anime have a story of drama that explains even though you are the exceptional supernatural powered person, there will be betreyals and hard conditions for adapting to this new world.
-Both anime contain a main character who facing some though events by alone itself.
-Both anime contain a main character who needs help of his companions.
- Both are "hard isekai", i.e. touch politics, social differences etc. as compared to isekai as an excuse plot for a harem show
- Both have a large world with a diverse cast, i.e. epic narrative proportions
- For my taste, both are at the same quality level within the genre of isekai
- Both MCs suffer and hate the world they are in
- Both have good sound and music
- Both have a female character unconditionally loving the MC, but get rejected, and keep loving and supporting
- Both have government structures and powers way above what a single hero could easily change
- Both have a side character trader who is very supportive to the MC when he is still weak and down
- Both have MC's plagued by doubt about their own life and treatment
- Both know about the military, which cooperates with the hero sometimes, but not alwaysread more
-Both are isekai.
-Both Anime's MC is in Hardcore isekai.
-One MC has no special power the other MC has Power of Shield.
-Both MC suffer at start in some or other way.
its an isekai, like all isekai the mc is transported to anther word. the problem with most isekai for me is that they don't take them self's to serious especially in the past year or two, but rezero is doesn't have that problem. the mc carter development is very good and he's probably the most relatable to any weeb out there but you might not pick that up on the 1st viewing. its a classic every one should see at least once before you die:) if not more
I think these shows pair up well for a variety of reasons. Both do a good job balancing drama and comedy, creating complex and interesting character psychology, and have a similar fantasy aesthetic. The Naofumi/Raphtalia dynamic in Shield Hero is fairly similar to Subaru/Rem. I thought both duos were compelling and the highlight of their respective stories. If you enjoyed Re:Zero, I don't think The Rising of the Shield Hero will disappoint!
MC is transported into a new fantasy world and is weak at first
In Re:Zero the MC stays weak except for his one special ability
Both MC must gain trust of other characters, both face betrayals
Re:Zero MC is in love with female character, in shield hero it is the other way around
Both MC fighting to protect the ones they love in the new world
If u want to watch an anime that is short and u can fully understand the plot and story with lovable characters and cute girls well this is what u are looking for.
No good loser who diverts the comunity by the percieved level of his likeableness gets iseka'd, surrounded by mostly girl cast, but also has to survive some life-threatening effect as his transportation into other world is linked to the concept of death in some way.
-Both are isekai fantasy with jaw-dropping worldbuilding from the get go that build an empire of intrigue to hopefully be unraveled in future seasons
-Both protagonists aren't exactly the most likeable character at least at first, and clearly develop or at least begin to over the course of the series
-Both touch on the topic of death and the protagonists' reaction to it in an interesting way
The protagonists both have elements of realism within them that set them apart from other isekai protagonists. Both are isekai, both protagonists are OP in a way, both are essentially harems where the protagonists has many female heroines, both feature tragic moments not commonly found in isekai, and the authors are friends and take inspiration from each other.
Isekais where the MC has problems that follow them despite being transferred to another world. Entertaining with cringe moments. S tier music/soundtracks
Both are great anime about change and redemption, featuring flawed and realistic protagonists in a medieval fantasy world. If you liked Mushoku Tensei for these elements, then Re:Zero does an equally fantastic job at conveying them. Presentation is also stellar in both anime in different ways.
Both are based on the Isekai genre. And both are really great in their own way. If you enjoyed any one of these shows, consider checking out the other one.
Isekai. Re:Zero and MT both may as well be called the defining shows of Isekai, so much hype and acclamation around them that they have become two well recognisable titles in the medium.
Both following a not so well off individual who, with high originality levels, finds themselves in a new world, nothing like how they first started off on earth. The two then use this new life of theirs to adapt and pursue goals they have set for themselves. Rudy trying to become a better person, something he couldn't do as a neet. Subaru being this hero for the girl he just met, Emilia.
Would also like to point out how great these characters are, with them feeling like totally legit humans who know their way around when it comes to talking to people, namely Rudy's sly behaviour and Subaru's sociable attitudes.
Both are some of the best isekai anime out there with great visuals and OST as well as a grand story to be beheld in the long run.

Both star a isekaied main character who starts off as a total piece of crap but then grows into a better character. They also both have good pacing and great characters.
Well worth the watch between waiting for next season
Both are isekai anime where the main character becomes a "better" person in a new world. They both have a lot of girls revolving around the male main character and the world building is unique to isekai.
Same reincarted into another world .A world full of magic and elves! .long thing short you should watch it it's much better than re:zero in my opinion as MC isn't a weakling after getting reincarted like the one in re:zero
The main characters for both are losers.
Though, they do develop a lot(A LOT) in the show, unlike some other isekais.
MOST SIMILAR POINT: Both had awesome world-building. You get to immerse yourself in the different fantasy worlds the authors had created.
Mushoku focuses more on Rudeus being a gifted person in the other world while RE: ZERO focuses on Subaru with a unique ability he will need to use to solve a lot of the problems he faces along the way since he has no magical powers like the rest in his fantasy world.
Both are isekai but different from others. Both main characters are unlikeable at first but they develop as ths series goes. Both shows have some form of realism which is unlike most isekai. Amazing worldbuilding and characters, great music as well. Technically produced by the same studio (White Fox).
This one seems obvious, with the 2 best isekai that are very similar both in their level of quality and in the themes addressed.
Both protagonists arrive in a new fantasy world with 0 knowledge or special advantages, set off on a great, exciting but also terrifying and sometimes painful adventure of redemption. At the beginning, both expect the normal tropes of isekai, but reality catches up with them quickly and violently. Overall, it is a learning about oneself, to recognize one's faults and qualities, to evolve and learn to love oneself.
On top of that, the worldbuilding is excellent, the OST is great, the characters are all fantastic, in short it's masterpiecesread more
Both are arguably the best the isekai genre has to offer.
Great world building are a staple of both series, both give you the feeling that their respective worlds are lived in.
The shows both convey similar emotions while riding the ups and downs of the characters as they develop and become familiar with their new worlds.
the stories are completly different but the way how the plot change and they repeat the same thing over and over again reminded me of Higurashi! also both anime have female tsundere/crazy characters! and a guy involved with them xD
In both Anime we have a Harem in which a male main character come to a new location and met some girls with which he make friends and spent a lot of time.
Both Anime seem to be cheerful at first but with the way of the story they get a much darker and deeper plot with some kinds of mystery, an intense of violence and a lot of psychological elements, in which the characters can become to insane.
Another mutuality is that both series are shown with an arc format, in which the characters revival after they die.
Has the same type of deal with the looping of the series if you die then having to do it differently after death until problem is solved. Though one is game-based. Main character is male, and the characters can become insane. Which I find very similar to both animes. So far.
If you love the feeling of being shocked, you shouldn't miss any of these two series. These two series are powerful enough to manipulate audience's feelings. Things seem to be pleasant at first but soon the dark side comes into play. A deep mystery is shrouded in them.
Did you enjoy Re:Zero? Did it leave you wanting more brutal deaths, torture, and time loops? If so, then you will love Higurashi. Higurashi begins like any classic, slice-of-life anime then slowly divulges its brutal and gory nature as it brutally murders its characters before returning to the beginning and doing it all over again. If you wanted to see Subaru suffer more, then watch Higurashi and watch the characters suffer terrible fates again and again. Higurashi is very similar to Re:Zero but focuses on the mystery of the time loops.
They don't seem too similar at first glance, with Re:Zero being a action/fantasy with dark themes and Higurashi being a classic horror series in the otaku community, but they are. Both are in time loops, except while in Higurashi Keiichi is unaware of it, Subaru from Re:Zero is. They both deal with dark, sometimes gory themes, included but not limited to; torture, insanity, watching friends die, and more, but it takes more of a forefront in Higurashi, with it being more strictly related to horror. Not enough yandere in Re:Zero though. Shame.
-Both these series share the basic idea of rewinding back in time back to when all the characters were alive.
-Lots of Psychological and Thrilling elements to keep you on the edge of your seat
-Few hard-to-watch scenes also exist, where you feel like looking away
Same type of anime with great killing spree or violence.Both Anime are Masterpiece and with a search for a piece for puzzle.Higurashi has sequel named 'Kai' that has solution to the main series.Re:Zero also has a sequel for the mystery solution and will be aired soon.Highly recommended anime for Re:Zero lovers.
Shows where a single linear story leads up to different outcomes with a certain character reincarnating at a certain point in time at the beginning of it all. These 2 can be a bit confusing at times, but it all makes sense at the end. But if you are easily disturbed by violent content, I wouldn't recommend either of these.
If you are a big fan of Psychological animes then these are my two big recommendations that go well. Both have that "return by death" element in the series, and saving the people you care about, but what's more shocking is these people actually have sides you would never expect until a certain event happens. The gore and horror scenes are also pretty great for both.
Both of the main characters have the ability to go back and change the past in order to save their beloved person. They keep going through endless loops to gain the destiny they desire. Both very emotional and the MC goes through lots of changes in terms of maturity/character development
MC uses the ability to go back in time in order to save the ones he loves.
If you liked one of them and want to watch something similar, then there's a high chance you will like the other one.
Both have the protagonist attempting to save his friends multiple times through the use of time travel. The MC suffers psychologically through multiple horrific events. The difference being Fantasy vs School
Basically an anime where they can rewrite their life. They try and find a better result for their future, where they can go back in time if they needed to by doing the things that would trigger the time leap to happen
Similar
Both contain time loop
Both go in the past and too help the girl they love (less romance in Tokyo revenger)
Both have psychologicals aspects bound to the difficult of time loops
They learn from them mistake to go further
not similar
RE:zero = fantasy world / Tokyo revenger =real world
Despite having different scenarios and settings I love the part of the main character not giving up and retrying to get things right while suffering. Both of these series have the main character trying to fix something that already has happened.
Reversing time gimmick. Both mc's cry a lot and give off the same weak vibe. The mc's also have similar goals(save everyone). Seem to have separate arcs
Both shows aren`t really similar at story or genre, but Takemichi and Subaru are very similar protagonists, both have the power to time travel in time, which is more of a torture for them, also both are weak at fighting so mostly they get beated by the other characters, also both have the same motivation of saving a girl (Hinata in case of Takemichi, and depending of the situation Rem or Emilia for Subaru)
Same concept, protagonist (and his emotions, feelings and development) and even execution but in different setting. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the two.
Definitely the best time-travel anime out there, no cap. The shows are about a guy saving his waifus/bros from dying. The show also has great side characters and main characters.
Time travel related - Tokyo Revengers has currently have one season, season two will be released on January 2023 and the manga is finished! Worth the watch! In both shows the mc goes through some stuff so be prepared :)
Both involve time traveling to save others (mostly because of a girl or the MC's closest friends). As an isekai however it involves harem and simps and the usual isekai stuff, but its story is also good and will have you hooked.
Both mc's are weak compared to their peers, but still try to protect everyone especially one girl. They also both deal with going back in time, which allows them to change things for a more ideal future.
If you just glance at the images of both, you have no idea what you're going to get out of each anime. They're actually pretty similar because they both have major and unexpected plot twists, both look happy at first glance but aren't, both have very dark themes, and both have supernatural elements.
I think this is a pretty good recommendation because the unexpectedly dark style of the two anime can really get to you emotionally. If you like the dark emotional elements in one you will probably like the other.
- similar overall feeling and pace as plot progresses
- the expectations of the tropes in each series are deconstructed
- similar dark twists and character development
Basically if you like to see characters break down and get an overall feeling of dread and hopelessness as the universe seems to play against them, this is pretty damn close
Kinda funny one night how I realized how similar the themes are
Can not get into the said topic because spoiler but the topic of "redo" are heavy in these character lives in terms of themes, plot relevance and overall character motivation that challenges pre-conceived ideologies and stereotypes in their own respective genres.
Both series considered as "Don't judge from its cover"
Both series plot contains elements of time altering / multiverses,
Both series main character struggle to save their loved ones with a similar method.
Even though at first they doesn't seem similar, both of them are very unexpected in a way that they seem to be a more relaxed kind of series. After 3 episodes (in both of them) you notice that it's the complete opposite tough, that's when they start showing what these animes are really about.
Both of them are about the main characters getting frustrated, overwhealmed, desperate, over situations they feel powerless against. In both of them you end up putting yourself in the place of the main characters and you can actually feel their emotions, and that's what makes those extremely hard to rewatch (at least for me).
There are other similarities such as time travel (Subaru's power seems to have been inspired by one of the characters of madoka, and if that's not the case, they are almost identical) , magic, awesome soundtracks (madoka's ost is just too good), witches, and the list goes on. If you liked one of them you'll almost certainly like the other.read more
Both are popular Darker and Edgier deconstructions of their genres. Madoka deconstructs the mahou shoujo genre popularised by anime like Sailor Moon while Re:Zero deconstructs the isekai genre popularised by anime like SAO. Other deconstructive anime are Neon Genesis Evangelion (deconstructs mecha), Bokura no Hentai (deconstructs the otonotoko genre) and Digimon Tamers (deconstructs mon series)
Both are very original stories in a seemingly un-original setting
Both have thrilling love stories involving time travel, and lots of psychology
They both just give you that beautiful sense of despair, and heart wrenching scenes, and people protecting each other while fighting the adversity in a dark, disturbing world
What thing have in common Evangelion, Madoka Magica and Re:Zero? The three are a critic of their respective genres.
The typical mecha anime show us a main character that is usually a hot-blooded teenager who gets in a robot and saves the world with it along with the power of love and friendship. In Evangelion we see that the idea of putting kids into giant robots is downright insane, a normal teenager can't be expected to mentally endure it.
The typical magical girl (mahou shoujo) anime has as main character a young naive girl of pure heart who gets magical powers and saves the world with them. In Madoka Magica the idea of having young teenage girls fight to death to protect the world is just as crazy as it was with boys in robots, and even if you are a heroine with magical powers you are still human, so you still may suffer from selfish desires, and your emotions make you vulnerable, even with the power of love and friendship.
The isekai (other/different world) anime, where our main protagonist usually is a japanese student/gamer/otaku/NEET/hihikomori that is transported to another world with the purpose to save it, acquiring powers and becoming the hero, (Sword Art Online for example), Re:Zero criticizes this. The show focuses on how a socially withdrawn nerd would really function in a fantasy world, expecting to be a hero, but carrying over all his personal flaws from our world, showing the spectator that he is a simple human trapped in a world he doesn't understand.
This is my personal top 3 of anime that review his own genre and criticizes the cliches, if you are tired of watching plotless anime full of fanservice/ecchi, I recommend you to see the 3 above.read more
It is impossible to explain how Madoka is similar to Re:Zero without at least spoiling it's first major twist, and as it is of my opinion that Madoka is best experienced blind, I would highly recommend just taking my word for it that it's really good and just watching it, especially if you liked Re:Zero.
Ok, still need more?
You have been warned, here's the spoiler: Madoka isn't your little sister's cute and innocent magical girl show. Well, take that back, it is cute, but it isn't innocent. Much like Re:Zero, Madoka starts out all fun and games with the MC stuming across something incredible. In Re:Zero, Subaru finds himself in another world straight out of an RPG. In the case of Madoka, our eponymous heroine discovers the existance of magical girls, and is given the opportunity to become one. Much like Re:Zero however, further revelations reveal sinister truths that bring forth a spiral of suffering. Madoka offers a similar tale of suffering to Re:Zero (Re:Zero arguably rips off Madoka) with, in my opinion, much greater narrative depth. There are more clear similarities between Re:Zero and Madoka, but I can't get into them without MAJOR spoilers, so I won't get into them. Watch Madoka.read more
These 2 series bring out the darkness of unrealistic things, which some of us wish for sometimes. Re:Zero brings out the darkness of being transported to a parallel fantasy world with cute girls, whereas Puella Magi brings out the darkness of being a magical girl who fights to save the world. These 2 series initially seem to to be lame, but as each episode passes, they become freaking amazing! There's always a lot more to them. Everything is logically explained. A lot of things might seem to shock you!
Both series take tropes that are familiar in their respective subgenres (isekai fantasy and magical girls, respectively) and twist them in dark and disturbing ways. Both feature time manipulation and deal with the theme that every action has consequences. Finally, both Re:Zero and Madoka combine many stylistic elements, being a blend of fantasy and psychological thriller anime.
Suffering. Madoka Magica and Re:Zero are both excellent examples of how true suffering should be portrayed.
On the surface, both seem like a general story in their respective genres, though deeper in, they reveal that not everything goes according to expectations. Madoka Magica and Re:Zero takes innocent characters Subaru and the quintet of girls and press them in situations of absolute suffering and despair.
While Madoka Magica is a story on what it is like to live life in those situations, Re:Zero is the embodiment of a fight against that kind of life. In which both anime lead to the same path of fighting fate.
Fantasy world with fighting with themes of what its like when a real person is thrown into what feels like a game. After SAO I looked for other anime which felt similar Re:Zero was very satisfying.
You like fantasy world with fantasy beasts, knights, magic and stuff?
You should give this a watch. Though the difference are Re:Zero hasn't got a skillful MC and the plot is more deeply psychological than the world of SAO.
Actually quite similar in construction, both have a similar premise - that a protagonist get trapped in a fantasy world and gains a special ability. Onward, both protagonist become surrounded by the opposite gender but have their sight on only one girl. Furthermore, both anime have a fair amount of action and some deep psychological moments.
SAO differs with a primarily romance focus to it while Re:Zero goes about dealing with darker themes and the psychological aspect to it.
Both have fantasy seen in games.
Bad dialogues and they stop action to say long useless lines.
Both GFs are passionate and not aware of their feelings.
And MCs have unique abilities (out of nowhere).
Compared to Sword Art Online, Re: Zero is much darker at times in terms of gore and overall subject matter. However, both shows are set in beautifully created fantasy worlds that are filled with unique and memorable characters that you can't help but fall in love with. The action sequences will keep you engaged throughout and the more mature themes will get you thinking about life on a deeper level. If you enjoy fantasy, action, with some romance thrown in as well, then definitely give this show some screen time.
Delivers where Sword Art Online does not; Re:Zero is a personal journey dealing with death anxiety, so much so that the protagonist sometimes descends into madness. It more accurately captures a 'RPG' dynamic, with respawning actually being a thing, which actually makes the series even more devastating. Also features a more reasonable 'levelling-up' of the main character meaning there is a genuine struggle.
Both of these anime are very well known, and represent a teenage boy stuck in an rpg game like world. Personally i prefer rezero quite a bit, because of its darker tone, and mysterious aspect, but i really like both of these anime.
In sao, a boy enters a virtual reality game alongside many others, and finds that they cannot leave, and the story follows from there, as he and many other gamers try to beat the game as it's there only way of getting out (and avoid dying ingame, which will lead to their real bodies dying)
In rezero, a boy is mysteriously transported to an rpg video game like world, but there's an interesting addition to this series where he has the ability to return to previous times after his death as a form of retry. This leads to him going through many traumatic deaths, as he tries to save the girl he has fallen for, and the world alongside it.read more
7/10 Similarity:
Action - Drama - Gore - Romance
Main charecter summoned to a fantasy world where magic and other things exists, but the problem is he stays as a human, which dosent have any kind of power (sword skills,magic,etc) BUT he has a unkown power: when he dies, he can turn back to a specific location and time, which will change after some time.
he tries to understand the meaning of this change and the same time he tries to save many people as posibble, especially the ones he loves the most.
its little bit complicated to describe so just go to the main page that describes the anime and read the description.read more
Both main characters were transported to another universe similar to RPG games such as monsters, bandits, knights, etc. and they are forced to fight for survival. The only difference is that the main character of Re:Zero can respawn in order to make things right or prevent the bad things in the future just like you're respawning from the saved point in most games because in SAO there is no respawn which means that when you die in the game, you died in real life as well.
- SAO and Re:Zero, both are Isekai-Fantasy series.
- But both of them have different storyline.
- Both of them have great visuals and sound/music.
- SAO is more of a Harem-Romance series. Re:Zero too has some light romance with a psychological-thriller aspect.
- Re:Zero has a quite lot of violence. But, SAO doesn't have much violence.
From the start, SOA reminded me of RE: Zero.
They have a similar ''spooky'' atmosphere around them with innocent-looking and colorful characters.
The art in both is kind of similar to each other - colorful, pretty, child-like, innocent-looking characters.
They have hints of romance in the beginning and a couple of comic moments, but it increases over the progress of the series.
Basically, because of the atmosphere and art, they give a similar feel.
For SOA it does not say ''psychological'' as a genre, but I think it is because they are trapped and killed in the game and can't escape, like in RE: Zero he can't escape time-loop and he keeps seeing people die.
Both MCs keep seeing people die before their eyes and that has a lot of impact on their personalities.
They both still give that kind-hearted feeling even though they are pretty much mentally tortured for quite some time.
One was trapped against his will in a game and saw people dear to him die a pretty short time after he started, and the other had dreams and saw a person being killed and got himself killed pretty soon after he was sent and trapped in another world against his will.
In a way SAO is 'isekai' and RE:Zero is ''isekai'' genre.read more
Re:Zero and Akame ga Kill are similar in regards to the fact that both of them initially appear to be a light comedy action story, but they both end up sharing much of the same themes later throughout the series.
Both involve the main character enduring many hardships, including death, forcing them to maintain a strong mentality which will continue to push them forward towards their final goal. They both share episodes of despair which will hit you right in the feels, they both have some comedy relief throughout the series, and both main characters experience romantic feelings (which I personally enjoyed most).
I regard them both very highly and thoroughly enjoyed both of them; I think if you enjoyed one, you should consider watching the other. As a forewarning without giving away any spoilers, I will say that Akame ga Kill is a much darker themed story than Re:Zero, but I would not let that deter you from watching both.read more
While it may seem like an unlikely recommendation, but both shows start off like it is going to be a good action/adventure but go dark really fast. I was blown away and surprised by both shows after the first episode. Something I was thinking is going to be funny and more of a comedy, but it took a wrong turn and went Madoka Magica on me.
Both shows have really nothing in common besides that, characters aren't even close to being the same, story is completely different. But both shows have amazing characters all the way through. Both shows are full of action. Full of adventure and surprises.
Watch them both and you'll see what I mean. read more
Akame ga Kill!, and Re:Zero are both fantasy shows done by studio White Fox. Each show has some bloody death scenes. I would say that overall, Akame ga Kill! is more violent, but that does not make it better. In fact I think Akame ga Kill is a fairly bad show, and I am actually enjoying Re:Zero.
I watched Re:Zero around the time when I first got into anime, and now I'm watching Akame ga Kill, and it's giving me serious Re:Zero vibes. They were both made by White Fox, and are also both fantasy. Whenever I watch an episode of one, it reminds me of the other. I am enjoying both very much, and I recommend both.
-Both will emotionally scarre you
-Both have a fantasy setting far different from the regular utopian one, showcasing unfair societies and the hardships one must go through
- " have a lot of deaths (won't go into detail because of spoilers)
-
Death, death and more death. Akame ga Kill and Re:Zero share a similar pleasure for characters dying. Whether these deaths be for the enforcement of a tragic, traumatic atmosphere, Re:Zero. Or for the art of war, AGK.
Both anime introduces a box standard MC who ends up getting hell of a world they thought otherwise of. MCs Tatsumi and Subaru set off to use their abilities to change their respective corrupted world to their desires.
Both anime are good unlightened fantasies anime to show how the ignorant ones change with their ideals crushed before them, with Re:Zero using psychology and thriller and AGK using action. Both brought to you by the same studio, White Fox.read more
Paladin. Re:Zero and Vivy's Song have something in common that I believe is really effective, and that is their means to push forward some hopeless situation that one must prevail through anyway.
Re:Zero does this with Subaru in a new world, taking on his volunteer mission of being the knight to his newly found damsel, though not in distress. The same is true with VIvy, although she is on a mission to save the entire world rather than a singularity. In some sense, the two do have the means to show that actually, the world they situate in is in their control bringing forward more "hero" elements to attribute to the characters. Having the ability to warp through time is not something one just has.
Both are good anime, highly acclaimed for their attention to detail in every category you'd imagine their genre would have. Good action, good suspense, and diverging qualities such as sci-fi from Vivy's Song and fantasy from Re:Zero.

Same author.
It is really easy to tell that these two series are made by the same person. If you like the darker themes, great characters, amazing story, and awesome action of Vivy, then you will probably like Re:Zero.
Both the anime is written by same author ,time travel is a major plot point and if they fall they restart other then that both the anime have well written characters and amazing plot.
Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song not only was animated by Attack on Titan's former studio, Wit Studio but the story was written by the author of Re:Zero, it'll send you on a thrilling, yet emotional ride. This is more than just an idol anime, look into it if you liked both Re:Zero and Attack on Titan
While the plots are very different, and the genres of the Anime as well, I found very similar the two MCs (Shinj and Subaru).
Both go under stress, anxiety and dangerous moment in which they will risk their lives. Both MCs experience mental breakdowns throughout the show because of "someone forcing" them to do something.
There are many deaths.
Both are desconstructions of its respective main gender(Isekai/Mecha), explores well protagonist psychological state with their suffering, have waifus, exceptional animation, 25~26 episodes and a lot of brutal deaths(the end of eva) that just influence protagonist's mental state even more. However, Evangelion is more focused on dementia while Re:Zero is on Thriller.
What thing have in common Evangelion, Madoka Magica and Re:Zero? The three are a critic of their respective genres.
The typical mecha anime show us a main character that is usually a hot-blooded teenager who gets in a robot and saves the world with it along with the power of love and friendship. In Evangelion we see that the idea of putting kids into giant robots is downright insane, a normal teenager can't be expected to mentally endure it.

Both anime has a mc who always deal with psychological mental breakdown. Both anime effect on your nerves once their psychological stuff hits you.
PS both anime has lots of great wifus.
The kid keeps dying. The other kid keeps getting told to get in the robot. This unceasing loop. Does it halt? Ever? Re:Zero and NGE are both from different eras, but they defined their eras and earned a great seat in history with their story that shocked the whole world of anime.
Young men with simple lives have everything turned upside-down for them. One blinded by hope, the other running away from what he knows is true. It's a sad understanding, with many misadventures and slaps across the face by reality. But as a means to find answers to everything, comes a story of realisation and perseverance. Countless deaths or Angels that seem to have no end. You must go on.
Both are good psychological stories, would recommend for of the same thing but different themes. Eva being mecha, Re:Zero being isekai. I guess both are deconstructions at that too.

Where re: zero subvereted the isekai genre through horror and mystery, No Game No Life subverts it through solid writing, great characters, and some actually great action set pieces that are both visually marvelous and narratively appealing. If you are a fan of Re: Zero because of its characterization and subversion of the genre than you'll likely enjoy this as well.
Re:Zero plunges its protagonist into a fantasy world of wonder and suffering, with a unique setting and vibrant world. Re:Creators turns this idea inside out by pulling characters from fictional worlds into our familiar universe, and they all have their own agendas - whether for peace, lies, honor, or destruction.
Re:Zero makes us empathize with a character transported from our world to a parallel one, while in Re:Creators characters from anime, manga and video games get transported from their realities to ours. Both shows can be recognized for great OSTs, interesting characters and thrilling plot lines.
These series both explore supernatural psychological themes in a way that captivate their audience. While Re:Zero is focused on a style that combines fantasy, comedy, and dark events (meant for a less mature audience), Shinsekai Yori is a more realistic version of a psychological anime portayed in a rather serious way (meant for a more mature audience). The dark themes in common to both are interesting to watch so you will probably like the other. Both are masterpieces, but for different audiences.
Similar overall feelings. Supernatural powers involved as well as how to make good use of them, fighting tactics etc. Music that suits perfectly to the atmosphere and mastered animation with cool effects. Sometimes you'll feel as lost as the characters. Almost same approach of mystery and psychology.
These two series have moments that can give the audience psychological shocks (in different ways). Both Shinsekai yori and Re: Zero focus on supernatural aspects and have dark themes (Shinsekai yori is a lot more darker though). These two also have heart warming moments. Besides, these two series have wonderful art, music and scenes. The world-building concept too is Awesome!
This recomendation pretends less to the actual themes of the series, and instead the feeling of hopelessness and deperation it instills at times. If youre the type of person who can enjoy a series even tho it makes you feel uneasy and sad at times youre probaly gonna be able to appreciate both of them.
Protagonist suffers through time loops as they try change the outcome to save their close ones, as this attempt more often ends in violent and gruesome end to not just their lives as a new loop starts. If you enjoy this concept, give these a try.
Both MCs make a time leap into other parallel worlds after his/her death. They face into some tragedy and tend to change through the time leap.
Both are bloodies and gores.
Revolve around beautiful/cute characters.
Both stories are excellent in giving out suspense vibe
In both animes the MC has to leap through time to save the characters from getting into bad ending.
Both animes include mysterious deaths and tragic endings.
The tow MC want to save their friends and will try to change the future, Subaru in Re: Zero and Rika in Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai, in the two series are devil organizations trying to kill the MC friends, The two are very dark and gore. If you enjoyed Re: Zero you will enjoy Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai
In both the shows only the protagonist remembers the past events after time travelling.
Both the shows show the protagonist get traumatised due to too much time travel.
Both of these anime definitely has a lot of similarities, especially the characters of Okabe and Subaru. Both act outrageous to amuse the people around them and go through a lot of mental stress trying to save the ones they love. It's quite obvious Steins;Gate fleshed out its time travel element more and in case of Re Zero it's time travel with supernatural aspect. Both of these characters shows a similar type of ability - Subaru every time returns from death in a specific point of time functioning similar to Okabes time leap. Both deal with this despair feeling, and have contrived stories. You can take Re Zero as Steins Gate 3 with no time travel scientific mechanism but with a lot of sufferings and I mean a lot. read more
Two noteworthy works of art, in both there is a protagonist who has to do with great complex psychologists to deal with in an attempt to keep the world they care about more "unaltered". In both the time plays a fundamental role.
Both are relatively mellow variations on the "trapped in a fantasy game" genre. Focus is less on action/plot and more on emotional and personal relationships between characters. Both shows are unapologetic about their approach. The central themes that revolve around each show is hammered in with every episode, and results can be brutal, grueling and overwhelming in both cases.
Story wise, both shows feature protagonist(s) who are pulled into a brand new world without consent or ability to escape. Both main protagonists start out very weak, and have to accept very lowly roles first. As each series progresses, both male protagonists get braver, stronger, and more experienced. However, both carry scars, either emotional or physical, that appear as literal obstacles to them in the story.
The main difference between the two anime is the theme and personalities of the characters. Grimgar's characters are unwillingly stranded in a new world, where the first things they learn are humility and survival. ReZero's main man is an arrogant young man who retains memory from his own time, where fantasy rpgs exist. Thus ReZero's character comes off as narcissistic, naive person who doesn't fully understand the severity of his situation. Both of these ideas are heavily explored in each series, and is the main point of separation for the two main characters and each series as a whole.
On the whole, ReZero is more volatile, violent and potentially shocking, whereas Grimgar is one long, slow burning journey to the finish. But regardless, both are very good shows that provide fresh, interesting new approaches to the "trapped in a fantasy world." The art, the writing, the stories, and the characters are all very well done.
Overall, I found ReZero to be the more exciting show, while Grimgar is more soothing and relaxing.read more
After the "trapped in a video game/fantasy world" genre has long since been tired out, these two add a refreshing spin to that idea. Grimgar takes a much more serious and "real" tone to it, making the characters and scenarios much more believable and gripping, while Re:Zero's "gimmick" is something that hasn't really been done in it's genre before, and adds a lot of layers and depth to it's story. These two anime treat their viewer and stories with respect, and deliver similarly high drama (but not at all forced), genuinely intense experiences.
(Hopefully if you are watching Gou you already know Ni, Kai, Rei, if you see this and dont know the Higurashi series, stat with Ni)
Both focus around a single character who for completely different reason's have a blessing/curse that allows these stories to build, titillate and inform you in a very unique experience.
The main Difference between Rika and Subaru, Subaru is ALWAYS the main character. Where as the whole series of Higurashi focuses on different members of the club depending on the arc.
Both shows are extremely captivating, dark, emotional, thrilling and quite gorry.
What makes us want to live and what makes us so scared of dying? But if you could not die, what than? Would your views chance, would you still be scared of your own death, or would you face it again and again until you find the life you can be happy in.
Both of these psichological thrillers deal with these question in verry different situations and if you like the story of on you will surely like the other
-Both male MCs are physicaly weak but they are imoortals and can't die also they use every mean possible to win agaist their enemies no matter how dirty that is.Furthermore they are caught up in a power struggle.
-Both MCs live in a violent world where the weak dies and the strong survives.
-The enemies of both MCs are twisted and find amusement in fight furthermore they are manipulative and evil.
They both involve revival, fear, drama, uncertainty. People wanting to kill you. Not sure if someone is your ally or enemy. Both have a level of horror / gore (implied or otherwise). Both leave you really, really wanting to see the next episode. Both have a good focus on the nature, personality, and morality of various peoples/characters -- is someone being evil because they kill? Both start with a sort of mediocre high school male character, and both show subtle but minimal growth with the hint of future growth of the MC. Ajin is obviously more supernatural with a focus on humanity and violence, whereas Re Zero is more fantasy and over-the-top characters with a focus on the characters themselves, and especially the MC's perspective and mental workings. read more
The titles sound similar but the meaning are different.
Both set in fantasy world where witches exist (although in Re:Zero, the witches didn't show themselves, but the rumour about them spread all over the town). In both anime, most of people hate the witches/consider them as enemy.
In addition to the very similar name and equivalent amount of furry in a fantasy world, these two satisfy my thirst for adventure in very different ways in the sens that Isekai Seikatsu is dark and full of terrors while Mahou no Sho is bright and suffers terribly from the lack of ecchi.
Like the whole witch thing from Re:Zero? You might want to check out this anime though this one does not have much suspense but it surly is filled with hilarious scenes. Just watch it as as a filler series. Don't expect it to be that great though...
While Re:Zero isn't part of the Police genre, the delivery of the scenes and tones are definitely very similar. They're very dark, with intense scenes and interesting dialogue.
Quite similar world and atmosphere.
Bunch of online gamers are trapped into fantasy MMORPG, cooperating with local "NPCs" (but without "reload" abilities).
Dark powers, magic, princesses, politics, intrigues, etc. everything is included ))
In this new world, the story follows closely the thoughts of the main character trough an unforgiving world where death isn't actually the end. It's just... Painful. While Log Horizon is colder and more about strategy, Re:Zero is more about the psychological trauma of dying over and over again.
While Log Horizon's Shiroe is a strong-enough character, he try to achieve a peacefulness condition due the imbalance system in their new game-world, Re:Zero's Subaru is a very weak character in first place, can't do anything alone, always get assisting by his around people, he just want to safe the very person who save him but later he found he fell in love with the person he want to protected. But you can found the similarity when they try to make a negotiation and diplomacy, you will love how to see how Shiroe (A support-class of RPG Game) and Subaru (A weakling and straying) who can't do anything alone on their shoes and sometimes depends other support-character in the story. The way they made comrade both is amazing. read more
Both are Isekai anime. If you like this kind of stories, you will like both.
Although re-zero has an slower start, and Tensei Slime has a really quick start, both are really good anime.
If you liked the isekai elements of Re:Zero and were wondering what someone in a similar position as Subaru would do with his knowledge from Earth, Slime is a great show!
Re:Zero and Slime are two sides of the same genre. Re:Zero does a dark and serious isekai to a tee, whereas Slime is the lighthearted power fantasy isekai that isn't so cookie cutter to make you snooze. In the isekai genre these two do it the best.
Both anime have a similar vibe.
The world that they have isekai'd into has a greater mystery to it and larger forces at play. And the antagonists have strong and gripping (and sometimes quirky) character.
- both have main characters that can go back in time
- the protagonist who came from the human world likes the protagonist from the isekai world
- both protagonists have a girl with colored hair who is obsessed with them
- Both MC is unlikeable at START.
- Both Shows getting better every SEASON.
- Both Shows is very MYSTERIOUS.
- Both Shows focusing on World Building & Lore.
- Both Shows have very DARK Moments.
- Both Shows have amazing soundtracks.
- Both Shows characters have realistic reactions.
If you like how AoT solve mysteries and building up story to advance, you will like Re:Zero too.
Both are gory and have many death troughout the series
the differences are the death in aot are other character or maybe the important ones. And re zero death is only the mc,but can return by death but other may be involved
other similarities:
-they both thrilling
-both mc have unknown power
-both world have dangerous nature(although lugunica is a little bit on peaceful than aot)
-both have abnormal or unknown creatures outside their world
Reconstruct. Re:Zero and Healer have this same start-up with a young guy who has high hopes about the new life they are situated in, but then goes completely sideways with the experience they receive first hand. Then going back in time to change what the future beholds of them, ultimately going on a path to consistently bend everything to their will for the sake of their desires.
Healer is on a lunatic level relatively, as Keyaruga does nothing but morally broken actions in the name of his revenge. Re:Zero is calmer but still somewhat deadly with Subaru on an insane path as this hero for his newfound partner Emilia.
Both are good anime I would recommend for something you don't get every day. In terms of both reactions and quality.
read more
Both these shows contain a main character that comes from a modern world and are thrown into a fantasy world with magic, elves, knights, etc. They are light hearted and serious when it comes to their friends and ones they care about.
The plots can also be tied to each other. Our "modern" MCs are the hero that can change and disrupt the life of a fantasy world as they learn more of their surroundings and how to adept to the new world around them.
Both involve the Fantasy genre where there are magical creatures and such, also both have one striking similarity and that is both main characters want to become stronger for the sake of a girl that they have a crush on.
Another thing is that they are both RPG type of series, so there are some jokes such as status, rank, skill and what not.
The trio of Bell, Hestia, and Aiz have a similar dynamic with the Subaru, Emilia, and Rem. You will notice this once you watch both shows. Although there's a massive difference in tone and plot since Re:zero is more serious and tragic and Danmachi is more of the harem and shounen show.
Redo. Aside from Re:Zero and ReLife having "Re" in their title. They both have an MC who wishes to redo the past and make one a desirable one in order to proceed towards a future full of benefits for them.
Re:Zero does this with Subaru and a large magnitude of deaths on his side, in comparison to a softer one timely move for Kaizaki in high school.
Both are good anime with Re:Zero being a dark psychological isekai. ReLife being a nice little rom-com to enjoy. Both featuring time travel too.
Time travel related - ReLife is short (13 episodes) and would't disappoint you! Story takes place in high school. Watch this if you want something chill and not all serious with its emotional rollercoaster.
The main point of the story is to reset time to a certain point to analyze the outcome and ro make it a better one. The girl MC has the ability that can reset time. In ReZero, the setting is fantasy world while Sakurada is school and their own surroundings.
Whilst vastly different in content that is not literal, the fact that Amaburi and Re:Zero feature at least human characters that do very human things whilst working is commendable. I suppose Re:Zero does a frighteningly better job than Amaburi, but that isn't to say that Kanie isn't anything worth praise. He is smart in comparison to Subaru's approachability, both of which are exploited in their respective worlds to bring the most out of both.
Would recommend both if you are into stories that will keep you on board for the entire duration of their running (this is coming from someone who has a hard time finishing anime normally).read more
This could sound strange, but hear me out, both protagonists are inicially common boys with a hero idealization and that compared to the world that surrounds them they inicially look weak, at the start they were saved by a girl that was at the right moment at the right place, that helps them unconditionally, our main boys get close to these girls to pay the favor that they gave to them, at the middle point of both series, our main protagonists made a big mistake that "ruins" their relation with the girls and separate their ways, but at the end they could still kept with those girls, also most popular character in both series is a servant girlread more
well both animes are small
both animes have story that is kinda similar when the hero is looks weak and lazy first and then he looks cool and powerfull .....etc
Death and depression. Just a ton of death and depression, despite simple ideas Re:Zero and Elfen Lied, seem to utilise onto a level like unprecedented in showing what true despair looks like.
Re:Zero doing this with Subaru constantly dying in the worst ways imaginable. Elfen Lied doing this with Lucy disembodying enemies with ease. Both characters diverge into a state of hopelessness as if it were a rollercoaster of up and downs in the path of their future, with Subaru making his way there, Lucy doing so very early on.
Both are good psychological anime, with Re:Zero being slightly better in most aspects.
I'm pretty sure that you know what I'm talking about if you watched mirrai nikki, and or RE:Zero up until episode 8. Don't get hyped, they are grate anime that especially RE:Zero, will make some fans rage.
Although the plot is quite different, the lead MC in both series has a similar personality. That is, they're weak, helpless, broken, manipulative and a real crybaby. Though, they do get a lot stronger towards the end of their respective series.
The animes are similar in the way that both mc's have the ability to go back in time multiple times to achieve a favorable outcome. Re: Zero has its lead reverting back to a checkpoint in his life when he dies, while the lead in Kono Yo No Hate has an ancient device that allows him to save a checkpoint in time and travel back to it if he chooses to.
The same scenario, where guys finds himself in alternate world, and also experiences, some time like a rewind in time , however in YuNo the guy goes into an alternate world where is still has similarities from his home world but with some slight difference
If you want a series which focuses on the fault of the main characters and the ways they overcome them, Re:Zero is the one for you.
Both the main characters have a cool superpower which also serves to break the character. They both experience the consequences of their powers at one point or another. Not to mention the fact that due to this power, both of them become haughty and acquire a god-like complex.
Both Lelouch and Subaru are skilled in their own ways. Their adventures are well made and you get to see their decisions at each and every place. Re:Zero is quite dark, but it is also very funny. Subaru is not tactically intelligent, but he does make some good decisions, which may even rival Lelouch's.
There is plenty of action, humor and character development in the series. The series is well written and is a new premise. Must watch for those who like games.read more
Time travel. Time travel can be utilised in a magnitude of ways. Protagonists Makoto and Subaru are the same in that with this new time travel power that is suddenly received, naturally, the two use this ability to try to take out mistakes from the past so it can no longer exist in the future.
TokiKake's Makoto uses her powers for her own convenience in the little things that happen in her life, while Subaru uses his compelled power to change the horror that awakens before him. Both also learn to suffer the consequences of these powers too, one does so indirectly by effectively lying to themself, the other with a multitude of awful pitiful deaths.
Both are good anime about the consequences of the power that can break through the natural order, with TokiKake being a light romance, Re:Zero is an unshining psychological anime.read more
At first look they both have a cute and warm feeling and then they suddenly punch you in the face with cruelty. Still both are amazingly built stories. If you have strong stomach I highly recommend both.
It may seem strange at first to link these 2 anime, given the difference in visual style and the fact that Re:Zero is an isekai, but both are surprisingly rather similar in the way they present their themes, besides being both masterpieces.
At the beginning they look like rather classical anime, before they give you a fist in the face with cruelty. The universe is unknown and frightening but nevertheless captivating and beautiful, the characters are complex, human, with their fears, doubts and desires, and in spite of all the suffering they endure, we can't help but continue to watch them and wish them the best, because the worldbuilding and the storytelling is magnificent.
The musics are stunning, without counting the participation of MYTH & ROID in the 2 animes, the visuals are great, in short it's quality and I highly recommend both of them.read more
Both are Isekai that get sent into a fantasy Video game-like worlds and settings. Both have to play by their rules and in terms of premise, both go through a different route on how they handle their struggles given the "role" that they inherit.
Not exactly going to the past, more like repeating days because of..... I can't say it because it's a spoiler. Still a show where the mc has to try again and again until he find the correct solution, meanwhile repeating the same day.
Re: Zero shares a similar concept of going back in time and changing the future.
- There is Suspense, Thriller, and Mystery in both series
- Great Music Choice: Openings and Endings
Punch Line and Re:Zero feature a protagonist that goes back in time upon death, both also feature 4-5 female characters that the protagonist must save/protect.
The MC have a somewhat similar supernatural power. They use their power to save the girls who are close to them. Also, both anime have a cute cat spirit who is very friendly to the MC.
In both, the male lead enters into a new world which involves with a different form of language, magic, maids and a harem. Also both the female leads are cute, pretty, and have the ability to use magic to defeat the enemies.
Both are set in fantasy type worlds where the main characters are basically otakus. Even though Outbreak Company is definitely more light hearted, I feel they share the same type of comedic approach. Also, cue cutesy maids. Did I mention they both have adorable maids?! Seriously, Myucel and Rem, just, just thank you.
The main thing in common between those two anime is the fact that the main character goes to a fantasy world where he gains an incredible power.
Re:Zero is more psychological and Zero no Tsukaima is more of a harem, romance but both of them have good action.
You may find it annoying that those main characters don't try to go back to their main world, but in the end both series are a lot of fun.
Sims:
- both are fantasy;
- similar premise (some random guy suddenly transported to another world);
- similar romance line;
- similar main male lead.
Diffs:
- ZnT is more on comedy and harem side, Re0 is more on drama side;
- different progression of the stories.
Both shows have the same director (Watanbe Masaharu), character designer (Ootsuka Shinichirou), and music composer (Suehiro Kenichiro), which gives them a very similar vibe, especially Watanbe's tense, enthralling and beautiful directing. Both shows have badass yet cute casts of strong female leads (all-female, in the case of Granbelm) who wield magic, existentialist themes, and intense action sequences.
Positive cheerful protagonist thrust into a new world only to have his spirit absolutely crushed. Both involve the main character being disillusioned to the horrors of the world around them and thrust into despair.
Re zero is one of the few isekai that deals with themes resembling anything darker than the sun. Personally the isekai genre is a constant honeypot trap in my watching experience, I frequently watch them regardless of how sure I am that they are going to blow massive chunks. I do so because of how much I believe in the genre, I have this belief because of shows like Now and Then here and There (Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku). I'd warn you that it deals with some things that are beyond the scope of what re zero is willing to present to you, however if you are a fan of isekai and you want to see the genre pushed to its margins, give Now and Then Here and There a try.read more
These series both present grimly realistic analyses of NEET/otaku protagonists and their adaptation to a life beyond their capability. They are driven by both protagonists' compelling journeys, from being set in their delusions, to being painfully awoken to their limitations and their struggle to overcome them.
Main character tries to come to terms with being thrust into a new world (for TG, Keneki has to get used to living as a ghoul in Tokyo, in Re:zero, Subaru has to come to terms with being teleported to a whole new world and having to figure out how to work with trying to save people through dying multiple times)
Both anime share the same art style, aside that both are isekai. I just started to notice that some anime shares this same style as with Full Dive. just in case have interests in tracing animes sharing the same art style.
When the topic of best isekai comes up, these 2 shows enter the conversation. The differences = Re: Zero is less sexualized, but way more violent (blood and guts.) Both main characters suffer from an inferiority complex that they need to over come as well.
Both are dark animes that focus on characters who die and are sent to a place where they must relive their death in order to move on. In Death Parade, the protagonist is an arbiter who decides whether people go to heaven or hell, while in Re:Zero, the protagonist dies but ends up being sent back in time with the power to remember everything from his past life. While both have similar concepts, Death Parade is more lighthearted, whereas Re:Zero takes a more serious approach.
Protagonist being mage has tough time in fantasy world he isnt all powerfull. Main characters sometimes have to hide, sometime they have to battle or seek help from other characters. Pace changes as story progresess (story builds up). Lots of interesting magical effects and creatures.
- the main character (male) is surrounded by female friends, but it isn't a harem
- the main character is attracted to the main girl who holds a high status position (actress/model, candidate for royal selection)
- the main character harnesses a form of time travel to rescue the main girl
- both animes have a side girl in love with the main character. the side girls in both animes have similar personalities and are voiced by the same person.
The general tone and mood of both anime are magical and circumstantially adventurous, yet at the same time delivering a fantastical vibe. The main antagonists of both anime are similar since they are the potential driving force of the main story which is slowly recognized by our protagonists as they journey throughout their stories.
The characters never break character in either series, it always feels real and serious throughout. Re:Zero takes place in a fantasy world but it has a high sense of believability and realism, the way AOT does. The MC is an extremely cool character instead your typical "normal dude". The show has very real, dark, impactful violence and emotion.
What connects Takumi Fujiwara to Subaru Natsuki? Wandering life in search of purpose, of course. Subaru hates himself for being a lonely shut-in that doesn't know what to do with the time he has left, while Takumi deplores having to drive tofu deliveries for his old man. That is, until one day, fate gives them their greatest gift, and possibly... their greatest curse.
Subaru is literally brought into another fantasy world, whereas Takumi is brought into the more metaphorical racing world of Mount Akina. In these worlds, they find their purpose and their true convictions. For Subaru, it's nothing more than saving Emilia no matter how many times he has to die in the name of his beliefs, and for Takumi, it's evolving as a racer, no matter how much of his personal life he has to abandon to reach his limits and fulfill Ryosuke's initial dream.
They encounter people that they fall in love with - Natsuki for Takumi and Emilia for Subaru - and they ruin their romance for different reasons, intentional or unintentional. Subaru does it because he can't control himself when it comes to dealing with his loneliness, and Takumi does it because he feels he has to be alone in order to tackle the challenges that come with being the ultimate street-racing group. While the morality behind these actions is questionable, they do it anyway.
In the end, their ultimate enemy is themselves, both literally and proverbially, and they must confront whether they've developed as people or not. Takumi faces another incredibly proficient AE86 driver, reflecting how he was in the past before he had any of his Project D experience, while Subaru has to deal with his own misery and climb out of the self-pity he's dug himself into with the help of Rem. Overall, these two protagonists follow a very similar story that resonates with a wide audience.read more
If you like the frustrating feeling of seeing the main character die multiple times in gruesome ways and having to start all over again, then this is especially for you.
If you appreciated the attention to detail in rich world-building, and how much depth was put into even minor characters in one of these series, I think you'll find something to enjoy in the other series as well.
protagonists different from the standard, who have limited power with and risks using and who depend on their intelligence, it is the world that does not envolve around them and the promise to make a difference heroes and that has the promise is made right away, is a beautiful passage of torch of a character that appears not so long as on the screen (all might x all for one - the whale fight) and transform '' defects '' (different) into qualities.
protagonistas diferentes do padrão, que tem poderes limitados e arriscados de usar e que tem que depender da suas inteligencias, é o mundo não gira em torno deles e a promessa de se tornarem heróis a diferença e que mha a promessa é feita logo de cara, é tem uma bela passagem de tocha de um personagens que aparecem tanto tempo assim em tela (all might x all for one- a luta da baleia branca) e conseguem transformar ''defeitos'' (diferentes) em qualidades.

Honestly, I just wanted to point out the character dialogue. It has a natural tone to you so much so you'd think these were people out of reality, and rightly so. The level of attention to sincere conversations and dialogue is more than enough to have a recommendation between the two.
Watch Re:Zero for psychological repetition to the point of an empty shell people can become. Watch Odd Taxi for a really interesting network of a puzzle.
The characters are overall the same and I love the characters. Not generic and very hard to crack down. The dialogue between the characters in both shows are amazing.
Both these series explore heavy themes surrounding death and how immortal main characters can comprehend seeing their supporting characters die. They also face insurmountable odds against threats mere humans cannot accomplish without the help of their abilities to remain immortal. Each new challenge and person they meet leads to growth and change in their personalities as they learn more about the people in their world. They're technically also both Isekai'd into their respective supernatural worlds along with their supernatural abilities. In Re Zero the main character comes from Earth while in Fumetsu the being is from some higher order realm (Gods?).
The only difference between these abilities is in Re Zero the user can time travel into the past before they die while in Fumetsu the user stays in the present by infinitely healing despite taking many fatal injuries. Yet these have limits malicious characters taking advantage of which halts their progress.read more
-Both are set in a fantasy world
-Both have lots of killing involved
-Both are made by White Fox
Re:Zero has a better story in my opinion. Both are enjoyable to watch
1. Same on the background story place,
Re Zero : Transfer to another world ( Where magic and adventurer appear )
Konosuba : Same
2. The both main char have the habit to joke and make fun
3. The both main char have no money at all ( Meaning : not a royal family or born from nobility ) so
the main char have to survive without ''money''
But the main diffrence is that,
1. Re Zero has more darker story ( like horror ) then Konosuba
2. Re Zero entertain the viewers by showing its mystery, while Konosuba entertain the reader with more comedy.
The conclusion is,
Despite sharing a very similar concept, the approach on these two anime is very different. If you want to watch an intense anime filled with tragedy and drama, you should watch Re:Zero. If you wish to just kill some time with comedic relief and lovable characters, watch Konosuba instead.read more
This is probably a weird recommendation, but I do think if you really like the characters of Rent-A-Girlfriend, you'd probably find something similar in Re:Zero.
Both Kazuya and Subaru are complete simps at the start of the series. They're made to be pathetic, annoying, helpless, and they both reflect a lot of boys around that age. If you like Kazuya because you can tell he's not a bad guy deep down and are cheering for him to get better, I think you can find something really similar with Subaru. Alternatively, maybe you like Rent-A-Girlfriend because of its plethora of cute girls. And Re:Zero definitely has a good array of waifus too if that's what you're into.
Granted, Re:Zero is completely different from Rent-A-Girlfriend in terms of tone. One's a slice of life harem romcom, the other is a dark fantasy isekai. But I think at their core, they both tell the same kind of story. They approach it from vastly different ways, but those different ways also make it so that you don't feel like you're watching through the same show twice.read more
Although these anime are different as a genre, one is about fantasy world, another is about XX century world. HOWEVER! Both have same concept idea, and that MC was sent to another world via time travel by someone who is superior (P.S. this isn't a spoiler as long as you watch 1st episode of both). It is interesting to mention that even opening of Youjo Senki is also very similar to Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Issekai one.
The male MCs of these series are extremely similar in both their personalities and their personal growth over their outlooks on life. Subaru and Juugo each find themselves caught up in various and oftentimes dangerous adventures that are tied to the females and new friends they meet along their journeys. While the stories are different, the determination to reach their goals with optimism and a good natured attitude are the same in each series. The MCs are also a lot more serious than they let on and work hard to hide this from others.
Both anime have "light-hearted and comedic moments" which mask the 'real' dark story.
The difference is that Re:Zero is a fantasy thriller with some time-travelling elements, while Kotoura is slightly-romantic school comedy-drama with ESPer elements.
- Both MC have fun and brave personality, but are hiding pain and sorrow caused by their 'curse' behind that.
- Similar types of comedy and adventures
- Have a lot of casts
- Both MC are summoned by an unknown being in the start of both series
- Both are set in fantasy world
- Both stories contain different noble factions in it. (Candidates of king in Re : Zero and House of Baskerville, Vessalius, etc. in Pandora Hearts.)
- Both MC experience some kind of time leap
- Weak, misogynistic protagonists with hero complexes.
- Everyone inexplicably loves and accepts the protagonist so the plot can move forward despite all his contextually unacceptable behaviour, which range from actively disgusting to unpleasant.
- Faux-medieval setting.
- Protagonist suffers many life-threatening injuries but never dies for real.
- Battle between factions to obtain sovereignty/legendary item.
- Factions consist of one leader and one subordinate at its core.
- Lots of blood.
Despite my personal ire for both shows, I do think fans of one will probably enjoy the other.
A mixture of corful characters and dangerous mystery exhibit the best aspects of both series. Both are also set in a world of swords of magic, but many characters rely on brains and planning of brawn and straight fights. Re:zero possess a wider cast and more plot threads, where Rokka no Yuusha is more focused more on mysteries and intense action.
Both are Isekais that sticks out from many other shows. The storytelling takes our focus away from the MCs and focuses more on the worldbuilding. The authors have both spent time creating their own magical system, culture, politics and concepts as well as well-developed main characters. Also, the stories are polar opposite with Will being a paladin and have blessings from a god while Subaru is cursed with "Return by death" by a witch.
Both of them contain time traveling where a certain character tries to save another person.
While Re:Zero is a fantasy anime, Ushinawareta has the action set in a normal highschool.
Both shows concentrate on finding the right ways in one's life. Both protagonists fight against prejudice and discrimination of the girl everybody else sees as bad. Both shows contain supernatural powers and in both shows teenagers are the main characters who move the plot forward. I also got the same wibe from the two shows and the male protagonists seem similar to me, but that is only my personal feeling.
Both of them start with a trope (Trapped in another world for Re:Zero, and Mahou Shojo for YuuYuu). However, because of deconstruction (the time loops in Re:Zero, and the "Madoka effect" in YuuYuu), the MC starts suffering lots of PTSD trying to overcome a almost impossible obstacle.
Yuuki Yuuna ends on a high note since things start to get better.
Re:Zero, I'm not so sure, we will have to see.
Shocking I didn't see this rec'd. To me, Gleipnir felt like a show that was made because of the success of Re:Zero. A sprawling odd plot that is more interested in adding mysteries than solving any. Female cast members have more power, more agency and often more brains than our male MC. A lot of psychologically dark material. Re:Zero is dialed to 11 while Gleipnir is sitting at a comfortable 7 or 8 on the psycho scale but they certainly share similar dna.
There are quite a few parallels that can be drawn with both series, some superficial others more deep. One skin deep parallel would be that both shows have a fairy-like mascot character that follows the main character that happen to both be named "puck"(though puck is not present in the 1997 anime). Subaru and Guts share a lot of similar types ordeals, that which develops their characters through unimaginable suffering. Also it should be noted that Subaru has an attraction to "maju's" and Guts, not in this series however, is more or less haunted by demons and apparitions of the apostles and god hands. Both causes problems that it drags them into conflicts concerning the story and characters. Lastly, both shows are spectacularly violent to the point of nauseating gratuity, a rather unexpected similarity for Re:zero to have. Both are happen to also be fantasy grounded, while Re:zero differing from Berserk from tagging along the shounen cliches that that type of show attributes (excluding the somewhat unique plot device of time travel) to while Berserk is solely a seinen masterwork. read more
I think you would like them because both of the main characters are transferred to a parallel fantasy world.
Also both series have pretty funny moments that make you laugh despite the seemingly serious plot. If you enjoy the comedy in one, you'll probably enjoy the comedy in the other.
Both main characters know how to overcome obstacles because they're shut-in-gamers. This makes both series entertaining to watch and provides entertainment to those who like "gamer to an alternate fantasy world" stories.
Hundred Man and Re Zero are both unique isekai because the main characters are not extremely overpowered like in most isekai. Instead the main characters are pretty normal boys who are transported in a fantasy game world where they will respawn; so you will see the MC suffer a lot as they die (Re Zero is a lot darker though, Hundred Man is more comedic). They use their power to respawn to beat much more powerful foes than themselves.
For the rest they are pretty much lousy isekai anime. Also both MCs have many females surrounding him; both MC are cringe, though Re Zero's MC is a lot more (which might be understandable because he suffered a damn lot)read more
There is always so much that can be done with the theme of time travel, yet there are so many anime that deals with this wide theme and does things their own way. Suzumiya is a unique experience dealing with time travel and other out of this world phenomenons.
It is one trip through time, going through the cycles of time or back in the past with varied experience. Just as re:zero has a few episodes with similar experiences repeated but varied slightly each time to further the plotline, Suzumiya also has several episodes one after another, which may make you think that you are watching the same episode as before, but if you watch closely enough, you will see the differences in each episode. These events happen until something finally breaks this endless cycle of time repeating itself, and that's when you find out all the secrets behind this time loops.
A time loop is just one fraction of Suzumiya, but there is so much more going on. The same could be said with re:zero, that there is so much more beyond the main character's time loop. read more
Both has resetting timelines at some point of the story
Both have a focus on a romantic subplot
Both have friends and loved ones being tortured in front of the protagonist.
Both have a character who brings the MC into the world.
The themes both share I feel that Interlude does better and has a more poignant conclusion.
Both of these titles are related to the afterlife and reincarnation but in ways that aren't told to the viewer until later on. Although these anime may seem fairly standard for the genres they fall into, the maids, income disparity, and most importantly the blue haired kuudere played by Minase Inori can make these enjoyable in ways you might not have expected from the cover. If you enjoyed one of these anime from studio White Fox with colourful casts who are related to animals in various ways than you might like the other.
while watching re:zero, the atmosphere reminds me of gosick. Both anime are dark and it gives you a mind blowing experience :D
Good for overnight marathon :D enjoy!
-Dark themes and violence but have great character development and plenty of comedy
-Deals with the darker side of an adventure
-Both MCs can be "show offy" and learn the consequences of not being a great leader
-Fantastic fantasy/supernatural/thrillers
-Have similar video game vibes (P3 having been a Playstation game and RZ dealing with starting a game over..)
(First recommendation here at MAL; hope this is found useful! c:)
1. Both the characters go mad and lose their sanity, but later regains composure.
2. Both anime have "Holy Freakin shit!!!" Moments.
3. Both have 'Gory' and 'intense' moments.
!this contains spoi!
both have time manipulation in it and go back to the past to save their loved one and kimi no nawa had also kinda tragedy in it not like that much in re:zero but still, and both had also unexpected things that happened that gives this goose bumps
Both the Protagonists travel to an alternate universe. While one helps a girl to become the ruler, the other gets trained to become a ruler.
While one of them can reset time and change the events to alter the results, the other has special powers which get summoned on certain occasions to help him in difficult situations.
'Re:Zero Kara' has finished only 13 episodes and is filled with lot of content, suspense and thrill.
As 'Kyou kara' has lot more episodes the thrill one finds initially would not last too long.
'Re:Zero Kara' is latest and was made according to the tastes of the viewers of the current generation and it is amazing.
'Kyou kara' is at least 10 year old. Though it might fall a little behind on the expectations of present day viewers it still is commendable and interesting anime.read more
- Both anime feature a MC who is inherently flawed yet likable due to their wit and emotional depth as characters.
- These anime also feature a wide range of female characters who have emotional depth as well. Many of the characters in each anime get a fair amount of screen time instead of being mere side dishes to the main character and his "best girl."
- Both anime like to go to bold direction and tackle themes that may hit too close to home for their respective audiences.
- Both are "From Another World" type of plots.
- Both main characters have mysterious powers.
- Tad bits of romance in each.
- Main character isn't completely overpowered from the start, but gets gradually stronger.
- Inner conflicts, epic fights!
- Last but not least- a main girl who's hot.
Both feature a Male Protagonist who try to save the girl(s) even though he always suffering. Aside from that, both anime are very different. Re:Zero is a fantasy anime (with battles, of course), while Koe no Katachi is an anime focused on teenager problems (more precisely on the victims of bully).
While these 2 animes are completely different genres, Both anime features a Subaru as a main character and voiced by Kobayashi Yuusuke, and both Subaru are NEETs and Otakus to a certain extent.
The Main Protagonists of both anime are quite similar.
Both deal with Death, Mystery and Supernatural things.
Occultic;Nine is like what would happen to Subaru if he didn't move into the parallel world.
After seeing the first 2 episodes of Re;Zero I was surprised at the fact I was enjoying it, and that it reminded me of something, one anime, a light novel adaptation to be precise. That being, of course, Spice and Wolf. Both Satella and Holo are great heroines who are written very well and don't fall into a particular archytype. Both of them are rather snarky towards the MC and their respective relations are well written. While the MCs are themselves rather different both of them are well rounded and likable.
If you liked one you will probably enjoy the other.
The main character is similarly someone who dies over and over again in order to pursue their goal. Both have very dark themes in them and the same atmosphere of dread. Also quite similarly, the main character is powerless or weak but over time they grow stronger to face their challenges. They are also similar in that over time, they build up quite a harem of girls. In my experience, they are both very similar shows and it's a wonder to me why there hasn't been a recommendation yet.
Both are a seemingly innocuous fantasy setting and end up getting really, really dark. They both have a really similar feel to them and create a completely false innocent first impression. They both heavilly emphasize the storyline/plot. etc. If you liked one im sure you wil like the other.
Both of those series start of light but they get darker as the progress.
Re Zero are more psychology stuff in a fantasy setting while Slayers are more of a fun time action comedy in a fantasy setting
They're both fantasy anime.In both shows the MC is trying to help the main girl to achieve her goal. The villains are very similar to Joker from Batman and they need the main girl, if they want to achieve their goals.
