Quanzhi Gaoshou

Sword Art Online addpermalink

These feature skilled gamers in fantasy MMORPG settings. Though the plots differ considerably, there's no shortage of similarities in other regards such as the engaging action sequences, the very skilled and confident protagonists, and the cute female companions.

Both series involve OP gamer protagonists who are fairly light on emotions, and have a harem of girls flock to them. King's Avatar focuses more on esports, while Sword Art Online leans into romance and arc-based storytelling.

both mc are real badass....story line is little different...this anime shows mixture of mc's both real and virtual life....but in Sao they shows on mc's virtual life with more game details

Both MC are pro players in MMORPG.
Both MC are so skilled, intelligent, badass.
Xiu looks like Kirito, Mucheng looks like Asuna (exactly the same hair style).
 

report Recommended by RJBScarletRain

Kirito is similar to MC because they are both best in their games. Although Quanzhi Gaoshou focuses on eSports, they both have their struggles. The animation is really good, too. 

report Recommended by Felix

This show continues the ongoing trend of video-game themed anime, but The King's Avatar goes about it in a mellowing slice of life style.

TK'sA is about an eSports star who is dismissed from the team after several lackluster years, and the new way of life he finds through a nightshift job at an unassuming internet cafe. This show is very surreal in spite of, or because of, it's simplicity.

Similarities:
-both about games
-based on light novel

Differences:
-QZGS is a chinese anime
-QZGS is more of a MMORPG than a virtual game like SAO

Which is better?
It's Quan Zhi Gao Shou for me as it focuses on the action and there is just a REALLY REALLY SLIGHT hint of romance (if you could call that a romance), which is good for me since that is what I'm looking for. (I'm a gamer btw.)

Note: As of now, it is still ongoing, so if you do not want ongoing series, then don't watch it YET. (But I still recommend watching it NOW)

If you like gaming anime, this is the best one out there imo, only bad thing is they talk Chinese, a bit weird . but u get used to it quick. 

report Recommended by Gugz

So, to be honest, I dislike both shows.

However, I figured out hey maybe since I dislike both anime for roughly the same lines, someone out there might like them for the same reasons.

In fact, one of the big plus of both anime is that they provide a community fed up with wimpy MCs with winning ones whose character triumphs exist first and foremost to gratify the audience.

To those simply looking for an easy and gratifying watch, both series deliver on that department.

Both MC are OP but Quanzhi Gaoshu's story is better in depth.

Both MCs are gamers in real life. They are overpowered in playing videp games. Good story and cool sword fights.

Wanna see a better version of Kirito, and actually see the MC grind from the bottom after he loses everything at the start? You've got it in Quanzhi Gaoshou!

Overlord addpermalink

Both series involve OP protagonists using game world avatars to destroy thse who stand in their way. While King's Avatar plays this straight by using it with a fictional game and esport scene, Overlord instead opts to go in a more fantasy route with the main character actually diving into the game world, being stuck there.

Both anime focus around a video game. In both anime, the main character is incredibly skilled, respected and experienced.

They are both about virtual reality games, they both have op main characters..... Bottom line if you've seen overlord and you liked, chances are you'll love quan zhi gao shou and vice versa  

report Recommended by namelessme

Both MCs are gamers in real life. The MC is controlling his avatar and we can watch the fights while he is playing. Overpowered game character. 

report Recommended by Half-MagePrince

Both MCs are gamers in their real life and part of a guild, though only the protagonist of Quanzhi Gaoshou is a pro gamer.
In these MMO-RPG (Yggdrasil for Overlord and GLORY for Quanzhi) you can choose from a vast variety of classes in order to create your avatar.
Both MCs are overpowered and no one can defeat them; they can use unique skills and weapons and they are more experienced than everyone else.
Both anime's focus is on MC himself and fighting against other users (Quanzhi) and/or NPC (Overlord).

Log Horizon addpermalink

Similarities:
-Similar Smart Gamer MC's.
-Cunning, strategic, and a bit of a troll.
-Both have gaming aspects.

Differences:
-LH focuses on in-game politics and world building
-QZGS does not have the "trapped in a virtual game" aspect so it's "politics" are purely RL ones, mostly due to the competitive spirit of other gaming clubs.
-LH is Japanese while QZGS is Chinese.
-The art is very different. One is more 2D, the other has CGI and looks more like something from Fate Stay verse.

Zhen Hun Jie addpermalink

If you're looking for a good Chinese anime, you must give Zhen Hun Jie (Rakshasa Street) a try. Although the quality of the animation of rakshasa street is not comparable to Quan Zhi Gao Shou, it made up for it with its interesting plot and characters. The way the anime was directed is also interesting in the sense that two different timelines are being explored at once (instead of the typical flashback used in Japanese anime) and tie-in together nicely towards the end which made some of the revelations very satisfying. For example, the first episode is about the current timeline then second episode switches to the past timeline and the third episode is back to present time again, etc. Not to mention, it has the best OST and songs that I've heard in Chinese anime. The length of the episode is pretty short, roughly about 12-15 mins except for the first and last episode which are 20+ minutes.  read more

Nanatsu no Taizai addpermalink

the MC team is overpowered, and often takes their time or doesn't really go serious for most opponents. The main difference is that Quan Zhi Goa SHou is in a game, and Nanatsu no Taizai is not, but the action of both is very entertaining

Badass main character who's can be a prideful prick? Check.
Modern and Good Art? Check.
Action-packed fighting by main character who is a legend, but also "flawed"? Check.
Both MKnRand QZGS are fantasy/magic type animes that don't try to reinvent the wheel, but still remains refreshing and intriguing. While they are sort of directed to different audiences, both elicit either a love/hate response. The side characters are surprisingly memorable and different too. QZGS's beauty is the character development and unique stories while MKnR is all about "imperfection" not being an excuse for being OP, hence the huge class divider.
 
Bonus: Both have great OP/EDs too!
BonusBonus/Sidenote: I'm not sure if this is unique, or a pro/con but McD's surely milked the opportunity to advertise on QZGS. Also, QZGS has a unique, but fairly balanced mix of CGI/3D/normal animation.

Both are definitely not meant for everyone.*** read more

They are both action-packed and focus on battles between characters with various abilities. While Quanzhi Gaoshou involve game characters with different classes and skillset, The Outcast involve characters with different supernatural abilities.
They both feature an amazing ensemble cast where the MC is surround by competent and charismatic supporting characters with unique personalities and backstories.

Both these anime are maid by the same company and have a similar feel to them. The animation is bright and fluid in both and the high amounts of action keeps you engaged.

While one is about a fantasy world and the other is about a fantasy game i still think that if you like one you should also enjoy the other.

One Punch Man addpermalink

Similar to One punch man, the show focuses on our main character, who is already at the top of their game, being better than everybody at what they are doing (either in a game or in rea life), and in both shows the main charcter struggles to find some kind of meaning untill they have something new to work for, wether it's gaining popularity, or being thrown into the bottom again, trying to redo all your past work.

Death Note addpermalink

The king's avatar, similar to Death note, is about a manipultive guy whos actually better than most people around them. While in death note, Light manipulates people to go with his plan, In King's Avatar, Ye can be seen manipulating people in his games to rank up faster, and break the records in the game, which would make him seem like some kind of a legend, or a god, also similar to Light in Death Note. 

Both shows also have a similar artstyle with their character design.

Net-juu no Susume addpermalink

Well, at first glance this recommendation seems a little strange but it is not as farfetched as it might seems. 
First of all in both anime special attention is given to the character and development, based on the personal life stories.
"Netojuu no Susume" does appear a little more Ladylike due to a female main character and involving a lot of emotions. However, in both anime the game play is not focused, but on the other hand the characterization based on interaction and the ongoing plot is done pretty well, without being too predictable. 
To me these shows appear like representing two sides of the same coin. Both take look at the benefits and disadvantages of online games, on the one hand a pro-player  who starts struggling his way back to the top and on the other hand a woman trying to re-discover the feeling for the beauty of life. 
I enjoyed both shows.

Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu addpermalink

Two series that focus on the world of their titles and their leading characters survive the hiccups that appear before them. Both series don't use an "arc" based formula that many  manga and anime do but instead have multiple plots intertwined together to create a more complex narrative, that isn't always apparent but still compelling.

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu addpermalink

The Ye Xiu the MC of QZGH has very much the same appeal as Yang Wenli from LotGH but boosted by Reinhard's snark. If you are someone who believes QZGS or LotGH is the epitome of """maturity""" and appreciate the super-ultra-extremely-peerlessly smart tactics of """real""" adults, with their """subtle""" interactions then I think you will be sure to enjoy the other.

Other points:

- Both are more or less sausage fest shows with a few stereotypical token females. Though they get more screen time in QZGS
- Yang/Ye both have the magical ability to scout out skillful people quicker than you can say 'contrived'.
-  Tactics, teamwork, and whatnot. Plenty of screen time dedicated to people praising the actions of the protagonist because god forbid you fail to appreciate how super-ultra-extremely-peerlessly skilled these people are. read more

Yuri!!! on Ice addpermalink

A fallen career professional fights his way back to the top.

Yuri on Ice is about a pro figure skater and Quan Zhi Gao Shou is about a pro gamer. Both are adults nearing the end of their professional life in their discipline and are looking for a way to find revive their career.

Stylistically and presentation wise they're very different; but both are very ambitious with complex choreography and action, and the resulting CG is just as ugly whether it's made in China or made in Japan.

Both leaves you with an uneasy feeling of incompleteness. Regardless of my criticisms, if you liked one for the profession-starting-again theme give the other a try. read more

The feeling is similar. Both Sei and Ye Xiu are really passionate about games and battles.  And you can feel their enjoyment of the game. 

There are slight differences Sei is younger and is now fighting in a tournament to become the strongest, while Ye Xiu is already a veteran winner of tournaments, player no. 1 in the game and already an adult.

Both series show the life of the players in and outside the game and their relationships.
Good humor also.
