Mahoutsukai no Yome

I am not sure which show should I put as the recommended one, seeing that both shows are already popular in their respective seasons. Now then, onto the most similar part of these two shows - the process of emotion learning. Both protagonists (Elias from Mahoutsukai, and Violet Evergarden the titular character) have went through a messed up past, causing them to lose the ability to act as humans, and sense emotions. Both shows set up episodic parts and through the interaction of many other characters, our protagonists gradually learn these emotions, often in some sort of heartwarming tales. Animation wise, both are top notch, we have Wit Studio doing Mahoutsukai and Kyoto Animation doing Violet Evergarden. They are both in fantastical worlds, Mahoutsukai is supposedly set in the real world with magical elements blended and hidden in it, while the latter is set in post WW1 era but in a totally fictional world with fictional countries. While Mahoutsukai is more geared towards magical, slice of life and romance themes, Violet Evergarden instead focuses on the personal character development of the titular character herself.  read more 

Ancient Magus Bride is similar to Violet Evergarden because both have an interesting world, themes of emotions, and episodic storyline. Violet is similar to Ancient Magus Bride’s main character, Chise, because they both have that quiet on the outside but very sweet personality. Also both Violet and Chise have a sort of love and/or admiration for their mentor figure (Elias in Ancient Magus Bride, Major Gilbert in Violet Evergarden). Violet and Chise also both learn to cope with things that happened in their past in both anime. 

Both series follow characters trying to understand emotions and the struggles they face. Both series have interesting worlds with beautiful soundtracks to back them up. Both series have a range of characters introduced to help the main character come to grip with emotions and overcome past traumas. If you enjoyed one you'll definitely enjoy the other. Highly recommend them both. 

the story is told in an similar way its slow paced. both are telling a sad story in a soft way. the animation is great in both the main character are female whit an male role model. 

- Both start out with a heavily traumatized teen who ends up learning a new talent with a certain encounter. - Both have a medieval environment with beautiful landscapes and scenery. - Both Violet Evergarden and Chise from Mahoutsukai no Yome start gaining back their emotions. - Both do so by encountering different people with different stories, and both occasionally help out by using the new things they've learned (Chise with using her magic and Violet with ghostwriting) Only difference is that Violet Evergarden focusses more on Violet's individual development, and Mahoutsukai no Yome has more real story to get invested in, while Violet Evergarden is kind of a bundle with several tearjerker stories.  read more 

how heartwarming!! how are these shows are filled with emotions!! rarely I prefer slice of life anime but here look at me recommending 2 which I consider on another level. both of them involve slight romance,slow pace, good tracks and a character with whom we learn a new dimension of emotion every single episode. If you liked one, I'm sure you will like the other. 

-Both have gorgeous artworks -Both having a young girl as the main character -Both have beautiful soundtracks -Both have good story line The difference being, Violet Evergarden is more related to real life and shorter compared to The Ancient Magus' Bride.  

Both are episodic dramatic stories about a girl who has had traumatic experiences in the past and builds emotional connections and more confidence in herself as the show continues. A very emotional vibe to each episode, and a Slice of Life vibe. Both series are very pretty to look at but lack substance or good writing or pacing. 

Both lead charters had really hard past and having a hard time dealing with emotion and generally connect with people and world around them.  

Both have beautiful art Both have similar plot that dealt with being not accepted by society Both have similar episodic narrative Both deal with the lost of love one Both have main character learning new things to adapt their surroundings In short, Mahoutsukai is a narrative driven story with a beautiful plot i, Violet evergarden instead takes you to a feel trip that can make you cry. 

Violet Evergarden and Mahoutsukai no Yome are both anime that deal with troubled female characters adventuring into the world in order to experience new emotions while learning to cope with their traumatic past. 

-both centred around girls who have become quite detached from reality and are trying to learn to love life again -have some really moving stories within it that will leave you crying -Have a similar time and scenery setting -both have great character development -both have hints of romance, action, mahoutsukai has elements of comedy overall they have a very similar energy to them 

Have an incredibly beautiful animation and the protagonists go through maturation during the work with the passing of the episodes 

When I started watching The Ancient Magus Bride, I couldn't help but feel reminded of Violet Evergarden. Both anime have slow-paced episodic storytelling and are at its core character studies of Chise and Violet, respectively. Both of the female leads have a broken past and try to discover their true identities by building emotional connections with the people around them. The Ancient Magus Bride takes place in a fantasy world, whereas Violet Evergarden has a historical setting in western Europe. If you are looking for a touching slice of life, these anime are absolutely worth the watch. 

- MC is a young woman recovering from some traumatic event - MC relies on an older man to teach her certain things - Theme of learning what it means to be human (e.g., feel emotions) - Settings inspired by rural Europe Thought where Violet is trying to learn what love is, Chise is trying to teach Elias about humanity, the way they convey these things is similar. 

Strong female character. Overcoming trauma and hardships. Learning to understand the world and others in it. 

- Slow, calm atmosphere - Magical beings (Western folklore in MahouYome and Japanese in Natsume) - Ostracised protag with lots of childhood trauma, but are actually low-key powerful - High-key powerful supernatural protective figures - More or less episodic Natsume is the definitely the better executed of the two. 

Both involve main character who can see spirits and have gone through a hard childhood, both have heart warming moments 

Both anime have a similar feel to them. Both main characters are timid and were bullied(by both kids and yokai/magical creatures)because they can see what normal humans can not.  

Very similar MCs and similar worlds. Natsume stays more on the slice of life end, while MnY runs a little closer to shounen 

Takashi Natsume and Chise really had the same childhood and abilties. They can see supernatural beings and treated badly by people around them. Also Mahoutsukai no Yome gives you a heartwarming feeling just like Natsume Yuujinchou and gives Spirited Away vibes, too, just like NY.  

Hatori Chise have spiritual power like Natsume Takashi In both show there are mystic creature that known as Youkai Chise and Natsume both have a sad past 

The first strong association Mahoutsukai no Yome was with Natsume Yuujinchou because the main characters can see things that the rest of people don't see, and because of these peculiarities they are black sheeps being bullied by others. But while time goes on they recognise and accept their unique power and start to understand the world they live in... 

Both main characters have a special sight to see supernatural creatures. One of the recurring themes in Natsume Yuujinchou is how people in special cases make friends with youkai. However, due to the mortallity of man, when the human passes the youkai becomes lonely misses them, especially the youkai that possess stationary objects. Often, the youkai already understand this but decide to make friends anyway. Parallel with how Chise in Mahoutsukai no Yome is mortal and frail but so many mythological things like to have her around. 

Both have similarly relaxing atmospheres and a red-haired heroine that is whisked away into a new life. While Shirayuki is centered around court life, Mahoutsukai has more fantasy elements to it. The romance element is there in both, but Mahoutsukai's romance is not as intense as Shirayuki. If you enjoy a gentle story, fantasy or other-worldly, and beautiful and soft animation, then you will enjoy both of these shows.  

These are great anime to watch when you are feeling down, they pace gently through interesting worlds with soft characters and interesting enough storylines. Very similar main characters. 

Both have a character and a troubled past. They are also male protagonist with Influence/Power to protect them. However, unlike Shirayuki-hime, Mahoutsukai does not focus on much romance. But they are still very similar. 

if you like complex romance, maybe I can recommend these two anime for you, both of these anime have a red-haired MC (girl) and have the same nature even though in terms of story a little deviated but in terms of romance it may be almost the same. 

-Both protagonists are apparently similar (short red hair, green eyes), in addition, they also have a slightly shy personality. This, I believe, should be the main similarity between both animes; -Romance with a important characters that happens to treat the protagonist well; -Both have similar environments, in a place close to nature. 

The main protagonists are very similar. Mahoutsukai no Yome (The Ancient Magus Bride) contains a lot more violence/gore compared to Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (Snow White with the Red Hair). There is some romance in The Ancient Magus Bride, but very little compared to Snow White with the Red Hair. Both quite good. 

Both series are about red haired and green eyed female protagonists who fall in love and live in a fantasy world. The worlds are beautifully designed and the stories are wonderful. The storyline itself is relaxed and the decisions made by both characters are easy to follow. 

A young and vulnerable girl by fate meets a very old non-human whom acts as her guardian. 

The main characters in both series are kinda similar and their relationship reminds of each other. In both series there is the older male character who takes care of the young female character. In Mahoutsukai no Yome their relationship is more romantic as in Somali to Mori no Kamisama it´s more like daughter and father kind of relatioship. 

Another fantasy series with BDE (big dad energy). I really felt the similarities where the unfeeling father figure would touch their chest and ask the human to explain the feelings they are currently feeling. 

they both have the same fantasy feel and they're both about a big non-human dude and a human girl (one's about romance and the other not tho) 

These series bear closely resembling themes being that they both share similar MC dynamics featuring a young human girl and a drastically older creature lacking in their conception of humans interating with a vibrant fantasy setting whilst going about their lives/journey.  

In both we follow a young human girl who is found by chance by an old non-human who takes them under their wing. Throughout the story of both we watch as the guardian learns through their experiences with the MC, and growing attached even when that was not the plan. Though, the bond is more romantic in Mahoutsukai no Yome while it stays a father-daughter relationship in Somali to Mori no Kamisama. 

Relationship bonding, mythical creatures, figuring out oneself. Two animes with different plots, but with a similar slice-of-life feel. Somali is an anime based on a mythical creature going against its nature to do the right thing, while Mahoutsukai is an anime where the mythical creature is still trying to figure out its purpose. Both are equally very relationship based between the two main characters, and we get to see as they develop emotionally and physically with each other. They're not too over the top, so they're good if you're looking for a calm and easy-to-watch anime. They're very wholesome. 

-European inspired fantasy setting -Romance between a human and a magical creature -Chemistry between the two main leads -Slow paced story -Focuses on a specific aspect of its respective world (economics in S&W, magic in MnY) -Themes of companionship -Atmospheric and relaxing feel because of the detailed background art and serene soundtrack 

both of these focus on similar relationships between a human and nonhuman in well-constructed fantasy worlds 

Slow paced, great music and character development. Some similar concepts. Quality waifu and husbando material in both! 

I would recommend one of these shows if you enjoy the other because both shows have similar worlds (Fantasy). Both are very heavy on character developments as the storys progress, and both are very good at world building. 

Both have to do with two characters falling in love they are very cute and they both have a very good story and characters. 

_ They are both settled in a well-constructed and intriguing fantasy world, with strange creatures and phenomens _ They have both the theme of what is human and what isn't _ They have have both a gorgeus art _ They have both a fantastic soundtrack 

Amazing world building, beautiful environmental art and soundtrack sucks you into both shows and while they are entirely different from each other in terms of the plot and story there are some similar themes such as things that are not humans and strange creatures that makes up the fantasy world of respective shows. Mahoutsukai is more magical and Made in Abyss focuses on exploration and adventure. 

If you liked Mahoutsukai no Yome for the fantasy world that it has, Made in Abyss also has a good and original fantasy world so I know you would like it 

-Both are dark, supernatural shows -Both MCs lack a parent figure in their life (orphan-ish) Although this series is darker than The Ancient Magus' Bride in terms of atmosphere and story, the supernatural elements give the shows a similar feeling. 

Both anime revolve around a romance plot in a fantasy theme with the main character being female. Both keep you hooked with ups and downs of a pretty good drama that develops through the entire anime. 

Red haired girls with unique power try to go ahead despite difficulties on their paths. The previous lives are broken up. They meet new friends that become a new family... and don't forget about strong romance line 

Fantasy, myth and legend, magic and... dragons! 

Both shows feature a red haired girl. They both have elements of fantasy as well as compelling character arcs and interesting side characters. 

If you like one, you'll surely like the other. Both are about clueless, extraordinarily weak-willed and naive girls who secretly have incredible spiritual power who are taken as brides by youkai. Despite my obvious disdain for the MCs in both series, I love this plot and these series are both 10/10 for sheer enjoyment. The MC may be dumb but the rest of the characters are what makes these shows fantastic. Both series also have excellent quality animation. Mahoutsukai no Yome has some especially dramatic and gorgeous scenes toward the end of the series but both are lush and beautiful!!  

Spirit (esque) creature plans to marry a human girl. Lots of supernatural friends are made. Beautiful artwork 

Literally the same concept of a young girl ending up in a fantastical world with mystical creatures and people and falls in love with a non-human but kind hearted man while also trying to find their place in said world.  

If you enjoy dark, pretty, well-produced stories about young girls getting adopted by mysterious, tall skinny men who dress like 18th century gentlemen, except with the monstrous head of an animal's skull, in the magical world of European fairy-tales, which were made in 2017/2018 by Studio Wit and Production I.G, then [whichever of these two you haven't seen yet] is the show for you!  

Totsukuni no Shoujo is inspired by the Ancient Magus Bride! Having a Fairy-Tale Like story between a beast and a young little girl in a world of Fantasy where they try to stay together. 

Both series are about a lovely girl who lives her life with a monster in a fantasy world. 

Both series carry an air of normalcy in a mystical situation. They present day to day life in the dealings of the supernatural. They both have vastly different premises: Mushishi being about taking care of the spirits that haunt certain places, MahoYome being about an eldritch creature taking on a human as an apprentice and wife. However, despite their differences, the way both anime present themselves is relaxed and calm. What you are looking for here is essentially a fascinating way to explore the various creatures they interact with based on Wicca and Mushi for MahoYome and Mushishi respectfully. So while there are quite a bit of contrast between the two, exploration of these topics out of curiosity is the most compelling reason to be drawn toward these anime. If you are looking for an experience like that, both are identical in that regard. read more 

Both anime are very similar with atmosphere ,and are very intriguing . The main protagonist can see creatures that ordinary humans cant. 

Both have the idea of a tortured and callous magician whom he meets and begins to live with a shy girl who will help him grow as a person while discovering his own beauty and worth. 

2 similar pairs that went on magical adventures, discovering their own identities and worth, and building trust, love, and dependence towards their partners.  

If you like british lore for fae and other myths I highly recommend Earl and Faerie. Both have the "english" setting and are pretty light.  

The main protagonist both have bright red hair and green eyes. Both anime are about magic. The main characters can see things that others cant 

both MC have a week body, and both have magic aptitude which is only used by a few people in the world.  

It includes fairies. The setting is European. It has awesome visuals and music. 

The main thread that ties Magus Bride and Death Parade together is the dynamic between the two leads of each series. For one, the male leads (Decim of Death Parade and Elias of Magus Bride) are both tall, stoic, imposing, otherworldly and otherwise well-dressed figures. Being immortal, neither of them can comprehend human emotion and show very little of it themselves (one has a bone-face so he can't help it). However, they are rounded out by their respective female counterparts. Both Chiyuki in Death Parade and Chise in Magus Bride serve as assistants to their respective male counterparts. Because both are mortal and new to the worlds in which they are introduced, Decim and Elias serve as their mentors, respectively. However, the gentlemen themselves may have something to learn from the ladies about what it means to be human. Other common factors between the two are somber themes dealing with death and depression, beautiful artwork, lovely soundtracks, and a colorful cast of secondary characters. read more 

The female protagonists are both "choosen" ones. Both male protagonists have had a dark phase in their past life and have done something regretful. They both have trouble to understand their "feelings". Both anime deal with spirits, gods and other supernatural stuff, but also a lot of enemies they encounter on their way.  

While this anime focuses on magic FMAB focuses on the alchemy aspect. Both animes are both really interesting and in ways similar. Though their stories aren't at all similar they are both just as interesting and have similar concepts more or less 

1 - Chise and Sariphi are victims and they haven't purpose in their lives. 2 - Elias and Leo beast also they have a human form 3 - Chise and Elias fell in love same as Sariphi and Leo 4 - background: fantasty type 5 - main character have a servant/familliar, Chise - ruth, Sariphi - Lante 6 - the main characters save each other  

has a similar vibe and colour palette 2 sad girls magic both get help from old people just a really nice vibe from both animes 

They both bring on perspectives of life and death that are empowering. Both stories touched me in a way that was moving in a bittersweet way.  

Mahoutsukai no Yome and Houseki no Kuni both explore themes of guilt and existentialism. However, they explore them in different ways, which is ultimately why this recommendation is so consequential. If you enjoyed Houseki no Kuni, you likely won't enjoy something that treads the same ground, but instead you'd probably enjoy something that approaches it in a new way.  

-A guy instead of a girl, and a witch instead of a magician. -There are spirits and stuff. -The guys sees spirits and stuff like the girl. -The guy is an orphan, had a hard life, is very lonely and sad, etc. Just like girl. -The witch gets the guy to kinda live with her, and kinda teaches him stuff. Like the other two. -The guy has some strong powers or something like that just like girl. -The witch doesn't uses magic much for her own benefit, but she knows a lot about magic and is very powerfull. And lots of "people" come to her to ask for "help". Similar to the magician. -The witch is kinda human, kinda not. Like the magician. -They go into "deep" dialogs and wise/long living "people" talk about their life experiences and their feelings. But still haves those "dumb-anime-moments". -You see how the guy matures a lot thanks to his experiencies and the people he meets. Just like the girl. -The core idea is really similar. I get the same kind of feelings when watching. -The list goes on.... read more
