Both recent phenomenon series with very similar premises and appeal. Both involve elite human warriors trained to face supernatural beings average humans are powerless against (demons & curses).
I feel like these are both similar in terms of evil beings needing to be purged for the sake of humanity, and the characters in both of these shows have unique styles they use to do so. There's also the case of certain humans whom are stronger in both of these and can more easily purge of said beings compared to their "juniors".
- Rather than strictly fantasy violence (hitting people with magic but no one really gets hurt) that some shounen series have, there are actual bloody fights and deaths, which makes the fights feel like they have more weight
- Similar supernatural enemies with cursed spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen and demons in Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer
- Primary antagonists that you love to hate (though Demon Slayer has a lot more compassion towards most other demons)
- Well-animated, especially fight scenes
- Abilities that feel individualized while maintaining consistency across characters
- Strong female characters that get their fair share of the action
- Distinct and recognizable character designs, even though most of the characters belong to organizations and wear uniforms/similar outfits

-They both deal with the supernatural
-They are both action packed and more violent and disturbing than your typical Shonen Jump anime
-They both have fun sets of characters
-The characters constantly have to fight against dangerous and evil supernatural creatures
Both promises and the future of shonen anime, pillars of the actual shonen jump, with amazing adaptations and stunning animation.
If you liked one, you should try with the other instantly.
None of both are completely original nor experimental stories: both follow the trace of other famous shonen mangas. You will see the protagonist trio; good vs bad; training; power ups. But also with their own features that make them unique and worth the time.
If you saw JJK, Kimetsu can catch you not only with animation but also with its characters, setting, enemies and battles.
If you saw KNY, Jujutsu Kaisen can offer stunning choreographies, photography, and a lot of action.read more
Both take place in a harsh fantasy world where they have to fight against demons/monsters that kill innocent people.
The MCs of both anime are learning about this newly discovered world (demons/monsters are actually real etc.) and start their training to be able to get rid of them. Eventually they both find out they also have special powers and/or bigger meaning.
Jujutsu Kaisen is basically Kimetsu no Yaiba, but better. They both focus on a young man who reluctantly joins a group that fights supernatural beings (demons for KnY, curses for JJK), but:
- Jujutsu Kaisen has a stronger main cast (writing and personality wise)
- Jujutsu Kaisen has a more unique and fleshed out power system with more creative uses
- Kimetsu no Yaiba REALLY drags in the first few arcs before it starts getting good. Jujutsu Kaisen is good from the beginning.
- Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't have Zenitsu in it (instantly better)
- I'd say they are mirror images of each other with the only difference being the timeline in which they are set. KnY is set in an older time-period while Jujutsu Kaisen is set in the modern era
- Really impressive and well-crafted fight sequences. The time, dedication and money spent on them is definitely clear to see
- Must-watch shows for those who're big into their shounen shows :)
If you wanna see some demons rampaging and studios that actually love their works, I'll suggest if you've seen one, you gotta check the other one because of quite the similar aspects of the story which is masterfully adapted through beautiful animation.
Both the anime have the same theme, killing demon/curses. A protagonist who can fight, a badass who looks out for him and a major objective. This just reminded me of Demon slayer so much.
Both are newer shonen with a protagonist focusing on the exorcism of demons/curses. Both were praised for their high quality animation and exciting action sequences. Both anime have a dark atmosphere and utilize their color palette effectively. They have good soundtracks, great art, likable characters, and very cool villains. I can't help but feel like these two anime are the illegitimate children of the Jojo franchise.
Some similar aspects include the genre of shonen , fighting off monsters/curse, and the main character is selfless and starts their journey with high potential in strength.
Both are new generation Shounen with great animation, good plot enjoyable characters
Very very good fight scenes
Highly enjoyable
Have Demons and Curses as villians
Craving some more action packed spectacular animation? Well, Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) and Kimetsu no Yaiba (KnY) are the perfect fit for you. If you are engrossed with the amazing scenes in each anime, you definitely won't regret trying the other. Moreover, if you liked the premise of fighting supernatural beings (demons for KnY and curses for JJK) to protect or do something important to them, the plot is for you. Hope you enjoy the series, whichever you are watching!
Both are really popular shows that are easy to get into and that successfully integrate a lot of Japanese culture. Both have amazing animation and are beautiful to watch.
Jujutsu Kaisen is similar to Kimetsu no Yaiba because both stories have some similar aspects like slaying an entity that causes harm to people. Some entities are good in both stories, creating conflict with whether or not they should be allowed to live.
The premise of each show is fighting demons, well in Jujutsu Kaisen's case- curses, and the main characters are both strong from the start. Both share amazing fight scenes.
If u want an interesting story and want good fighting . These are the shows which i think are the best anime ever in last couple of years . It also has very lovable character and u will connect with m.c. of both the shows. The animation is also god tier
Jujutsu Kaisen (jjk) is actually better than Demon Slayer, including mature scences and great animation of jjk is actually worth it,
Give it a watch,
Already watched? So like me
Chasing down demon-like things? The main character is just now learning about the real deadly world? Both have these. Many scenes reminded me of each other. They are both very good :)
Both have very interesting first episodes. There are cool loveable side characters but what makes them different is that there is a major villian in KnY whilst JK probably will have minor ones as far as I know.
Even tho they are made by completely different studios, both shows have great animation and art and the story is pretty similar. They both give very similar vibe and I think you wil 100% like Jujustu kaisen if you enjoyed demon slayer.
they both fighting demons and having a funny moment on some scene the differences is demon slayer comedy always after fight and jujutsu comedy are before to mid fight
other similarity:
-both have very good opening and ending
-same vibe
both involve fighting creatures like demons and curses. they also don't have character development because they just rush recklessly into a fight for the rights of others. their mc would do anything to protect others and their loved ones. overall i love both animes. definitely recommended :]
Both have a cheerful and OP MC
The side characters have well-developed personalities and have their own unique powers
Action and comedy are balanced and the plot is unique making the anime worth watching
Both are action packed, with comedic gags to break up the well animated and choreographed fight scenes. They also both share many genres- shounen, demons, (though they are called curses in Jujutsu Kaisen,) action, etcetera… I can assure that anyone who likes Demon Slayer will like Jujutsu Kaisen, and anyone who like Jujutsu Kaisen will like Demon Slayer.
Both includes themes of horror and action. A different system of powers and abilities. Both have quite similar plots with different names for everything.
New generation of shounen animes arise with the foundation of great story with the superb animation provided by the respective studios. Their plot was similarly aligned on saving the humanity that was continously invaded by the villainous yet powerful supernatural creatures.
Both are good shonen and the main character progresses his powers
Yeah, if you liked kimetsu no yaiba youd definitely like jujutsu kaisen
So yeah chick it out
- Both shows have a group of humans who use special powers to deal with the supernatural.
- Both shows have a darker theme to the story but feature a lot of goofy moments with the characters.
- Both shows have a lot of hype going for them and feature amazing animation.
First of all, the fight scenes and animation in Jujutsu Kaisen are on a whole another level than your average shounen anime. The story is incredible, the characters are badass, the female cast is one of the best and the effects and visuals really hits the spot. Both are still On-going. I highly recommend watching these. If you haven't watched these two yet then haven't watched any anime yet.
Jujutsu Sorcerers exorcise Cursed Spirits whereas Demon Slayer slays Demons. Both has similar objectives. Both have very nice animation and design.
Demon Slayer is more dramatic and the story is slightly better than Jujutsu Kaisen.
1)What's Similar?
-Monsters/Demons/Curses aren't they like family these two shows have that in common
2)Plot Similarity?
-Human's(only certain people) can use special techniques(Breathing Styles/ Jujutsu) to fight(Slay/Exorcise) Monsters(Demons/Curses)
-Certain Institutions(Demon slayer corps/Jujutsu High) are established to support these practices(Demon Slaying/Jujutsu) since they are unknown to the common people
3)MC Similarity?
-Both were honestly Normal People till certain incidents change their respective lives
4)Fights?
-Bruh what do you expect Amazing and Exceptional fight scenes...both shows have crazy good one's
5)What Else?
-Well I guess the shows share certain values and ideals
-As far as the animation goes both are extremely good...Although Demon slayer (Ufotable) being better than JJK (Mappa)
-Soundtracks of both the shows are good too
All that's left is for you to give it a try!!!(^v^)read more
Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen both have breathtaking animation and great action. They both have a good power system and good funny moments. But if I were to choose which is better between the 2 I would say Jujutsu Kaisen is better because Kimetsu no Yaiba feels basic at times.
Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer are two highly popular Shonen Jump series often compared due to similar tones and premises.
1. Both have realistic approaches to MCs power levels; both MCs start off as weak but progressively get stronger (obviously duh). In the early stages of both series, it is evident that the MCs are relatively weak compared to other characters, and it remains like this towards the middle-end of the anime -- adding a sense of realism.
2. Side characters aren't useless (omg wow). The characters that follow the MCs have a similar power level to that of the MCs, but they are written in such a way, that they don't overpower or ruin the MCs "badass moments" while keeping their individual "badass moments" (Daddy Zenitsuツ).
3. Variety and creativity with all characters (mostly antagonists) of both shows. All antagonists vary from basic monsters to ultra-powerful humanoids and everything in between, it is virtually possible to create any form of character and it will still fit the series!
4. There is bound to be collateral damage when shonen characters use weapons, magic, and giant robots, such as smashed cars, wrecked buildings, or even death among innocent civilians. Both series make this clear, this reinforces the realism. There is a sense of loss.
In conclusion of an analysis of both shows, it became evident that both are similar to another, thereof and therefore we are able to conclude, that for the foreseeable future both will continue to revolutionize the anime world; with their appealing stories.
(GOT BORED OF WRITING MSG ME IF I SHOULD RECOMMEND MORE OR CONTINUE THIS IF SO I WOULD COMPARE PLOT ETC...)read more
both tell the lives of teenagers who out of nowhere had a mission to hunt demons, as well as kimetsu no yaba, in jujutso kaisen they also have demon hunter classes in which the protagonist advances, the two have a beautiful story that keeps you willing to follow until the end of the season, as well as having the sound and visual effects that are amazing!
There are similar comedic elements as well as fighting elements, similarities between the demons and the curses. Demon Slayer is one of my favourite animes and this instantly became a favourite of mine after watching it too
Both have great fight animation, vibrant art styles and heartwarming moments.
Both MC had no clue about the supernatural forces in their world until their life turned upside down.
Both MC lost their beloved family members.
Both made a lot of reliable friends and comrades in their journey.
Both were forced to define their goals before receiving any training and have been working hard to achieve them throughout the show.
Both have powerful and dependable female leads and manage to avoid damsel in distress trope.
I think fans of Demon Slayer anime would like to watch Jujutsu Kaisen too, because in Jujutsu Kaisen the story is about a guy who is killing curses like Tanjiro killing demons. The only thing that is diffrent is that in Jujutsu Kaisen they're not killing curses with katanas, swords, blades... They're killing them with special techniques. They are even in team of 3 and a Sensei is like Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Hashira.
If you like basic shonen anime, then you will definetly enjoy these two animes. Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon slayer are good shows, they have an interesting plot, stellar animation and decently written characters, neither shows are masterpieces but they do their job well at being a fun watch.
Japan, demons vs humans, main character who has big losses in life. Decent main character development, good animation. Both MC's have a companion ( Dororo and Nezuko).
Both worlds include demons and both protagonists chase "humanity" in slaying demons. Dororo wants his human body back while Tanjirou wants his sister's humanity back.
Both time periods are also very similar and the story revolves around travelling a lot as well.
The protagonist loses his family and goes on an adventure to hunt demons. In both series, there is someone who wants to become human again. similar fight scenes.
Both shows feature MC's undertaking a journey, which involves the slaying of demons. They both also have a lot of well-animated fight scenes (albeit Dororo drops in quality during the middle part)
Provided that the watcher has some unintelligible lust for seeing demons being slain, you can feed that lust even further by watching Dororo. Rage induced bloody battles with the set goal of taking revenge, this is the perfect show for a good adrenaline pump, watching the enemies being slain over and over again, like a drug addiction. Have fun!
Both anime are set in historical Japan where demons exist. The main characters of both series also have the main plot-driving device in which they have to kill those demons to regain something that they have lost. Add in some great animation by both studios, and you have two anime that are very similar.
Similar tone and similar theme (Dark tone, and demon slaying). Both have great animation and great soundtrack. They aren't the same, in fact they are quite different on other aspects (for example, the characters, the world setting and the art style). However there is a good chance you will enjoy them if you liked one of them since they have a similar vibe.
Sorry the comparison is a bit vague but I don't want to spoil too much here.
Both of these anime perfectly capture the mystical aspects of feudal Japan. While Dororo focuses more on a traditional view of feudal Japan, Kimetsu no Yaiba instead shows a slightly different version of feudal Japan, Demon hunters, and pseudo-magic system. Finally, if you enjoyed Dororo as much as I did then you will certainly enjoy Kimetsu no Yaiba just as much or even more.
Both shows feature a young man travelling Japan (even if in different moments of this country's history) with a younger girl, to hunt demons and seek redemption
Dororo and Kny are about DEMON SLAYERS... Dororo is little bit DARKER than Kny, but both series are serious and thrilling..
They both have GREAT animation, nice fights and oc very good story..
Dororo's adventures are similar to Tanjiro's in that they involve demon hunting. Both main characters embark on a quest to reclaim everything, and their challenges are infectious, inducing pain and keeping you emotionally engaged.
Based on loss and demons, with a female companion that helps to propel the main characters further along their journey, although in different ways. In Dororo she helps to keep him from sinking into darkness, and in Kimetsu no Yaiba she helps is the reason he seeks power.
Both shows are very good and worth you time, they are among the best I have ever seen.
Main protagonist just wants to kill demons because they took something from them. Dororo has a pretty great OP, but what makes it really good are the themes and depth behind the main character's choices.
They are also placed in the similar time periods, so if you like that aesthetic or whatever there you go. The two have their share of blood and gore, but they also have some wholesome moments with the main duos.
Ancient Japan. Demon Slayer and Dororo are both set in history where MCs find themselves having to slay demons, whether it be for a personal reason, or for the sake of others.
Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro on his journey to save his sister Nezuko who has become a demon. Dororo follows Hyakkimaru, who encounters Dororo, on his journey to obtain the body parts he is missing due to an exchange his father had with the demons. Both Tanjiro and Hyakkimaru also excel in senses with Tanjiro having an overpowered nose, Hyakkimaru knowing who is good and evil.
Both are good anime set roughly in the same time period, sharing the same amount of action in supernatural worlds full of demons. All targetted at the shounen demographic too.

Kimestu no Yaiba and Dororo Both Have
-similar release dates (early 2019)
-stories talking place in late japan
-a child side character
-a character that's recovering from demons
-lots of sword fighting
Demon Slayer and Dororo are two anime that appear to be cut from a similar cloth. Both take place in a historical Japan where demons run amok, and where the hero is tasked with killing the ones affecting human lives. They both question what makes someone human and star protagonists who are driven by loss.
2 anime in which a duo, consisting of a boy and a girl, where one of which can't talk for a significant portion of the show, travel the land slaying demons. Main difference being that Demon Slayer has the better animation, Dororo has better writing.
-Protagonist In Both The Series Are Slaying Demons.
-Both Want To Be Successful In Estabilishing Their Dream.
-Both Are Full Of Action But Dororo Is a Little Bit Dark.
So If You Watched Demon Slayer Watch Dororo For Full Action And Emotion .
In both anime titles, the protagonist fights demons in order to achieve his goal and protect the inhabitants because they are powerless against them. In addition, the main character travels with a close person (friend in Dororo, sister in Kimetsu no yaiba), these two titles are very similar in their atmosphere. In general, I even recommend these two anime titles because they are great, they have very good music, plot, drawing (especially in Kimetsu no yaiba), I really liked them, I gave them both a 10/10 rating. I think you will love these two anime titles, I recommend!
If you liked Demon Slayer then you will definitely like Dororo! It's basically the same concept.
Dororo follows Hyakkimaru and Dororo. Hyakkimaru was sacrificed to the demons as a baby. As a result of that, he lost all his senses. To gain those senses back, he must kill demons.
It is similar to demon slayer in the aspect of killing demons to get something back
Both the anime have mc with tragic past ,mc fight demons for existence or for the family and beautiful brother sister relationship
Both the anime have a prehistorical japan setting where Sword fighting is common.
These two anime are very similar in the plot, however I slightly prefer Dororo's way of doing this over Demon Slayer's; but they're both really good anime. If you liked the plot of Demon Slayer, then Dororo is certainly worth a watch! :)
Dororo contains amazing fight scenes in which the mc fights demons to get his body back. Dororo and Demon Slayer both have awesome and mind-blowing animation with an emotional storyline. Dororo has been finished with only 1 season containing 24 episodes while Demon Slayer is On-Going.
Katana wielders, magic, man-eating demons, curses, and revenge. A sibling or sibling-like relationship between main characters, one with normal speech, one functionally mute.
why i think this is similar to demon slayer? its because they both have demons/curses and i know not every anime with demons is related to demon slayer. dororo also have specific people who can kill demons. And also in dororo they use swords just like the demon slayer corps
they both historycal
they both action
they both 2 go a journey
they both a cute romance
and my favorite anime is demon slayer i mis demon slayer than i watch dororo
Hyakkimaru hunts down the demon who stole his body parts, with a young sidekick named Dororo. Though '''Dororo'' is decidedly darker than ''Demon Slayer'', both shows are set in the past, in worlds where demons and humans live amongst each other..
Both have amazing stories.
Both have amazing animation
Both of the main characters have a vendetta against demons. They have either lost something or someone and are fighting to get that/them back to how it was/they were originally. Both of the main characters create friends along the way who help them fight the demons in their own way based on their personality. They also are both full with fighting scenes given the nature of the anime.
Demons and supernatural abilities. Main character loses something and slays demons in order to achieve his goal. Premises are very similar, as well as the concept of demons.
Both deal with supernatural evils and both fight with swords that each character has as a unique fighting style with. The set up of the warriors ranks and titles are very similar for both the good and bad sides. When watching this show my mind kept screaming Bleach (In a good way) and I think anyone who enjoyed Demon Slayer should at least give Bleach a look and vice versa.
Kimetsu no Yaiba is very connected to bleach so much, similar with story, Hollow and Demon, Soul Reaper and Demon Slayer, 13 squads Captain and 9 Demon slayer hashira, Espada and Demon Moons, the main character who become a soul reaper/demon slayer and have lost the parents, bleach is like brother to Kimetsu no Yaiba
-Both center on a similar supernatural foe (hollows, demons) that antagonize the human race, that come classified in different levels
-Both have an organization built to counter this foe (soul reapers, demon slaying corps)
-Both of these organizations have an elite group of characters leading part of the organization (division captains, pillars)
-Both use swords combined with some kind of technique or superpower as the weapon of choice for nearly every human character
Both follow a guy who enters a world which he knows nothing of and then becomes a vital part of it.
Both are about fighting a league of villains going up to its boss.
same narrative way. Both have comedy as an additional factor.
both have a red head as the main protagonist fighting along side a female character to which he is connected.
Both have a league of good captains and their leader fighting against the villainous league and its boss.
"Demon Slayer" is considered by some to be this generation's version of "Bleach" for a reason. Both are fantasy action anime about an organization of people who protect humanity from demons. In both cases, there are several ranks for both the good guys and the bad guys, with the highest ranked getting the most focus after the main characters. Basically, the 13 Court Guard Squad Captains are the Hashira, while the Espada are the Twelve Kizuki.
While Ichigo and Tanjiro seem to have nothing in common on the surface, and indeed they are very, very different, they do have one major thing in common- they're both very protective older brothers, with the reason they became a Soul Reaper/Demon Slayer being to protect their younger sister(s). They also have much simpler goals than a usual shounen protagonist- Ichigo just wants to save and protect as many people as he can while Tanjiro just wants to cure his sister, with his revenge against Muzan being more of a side thing.
I think "Bleach" is better, due to having more complexity to its story and characters, but that's just me. In any case, both are well worth watching if you enjoy this kind of anime.read more
They are very similar in the generic terms that the characters both fight demons/hallows to protect humans. They also have amazing fight scenes with differing sword techniques and unique character designs.
-Both are some of the best shonen anime of their own generation with sword fighting.
-Ichigo and Tanjiro both wanna become strong enough to protect their family
It seems Bleach has been an inspiration to Demon Slayer.
Both protagonists initially lose family to the 'enemy'
Demon Slayer Corps = Soul Society
Espada = 12 Demon Moons
They're both about samurai style sword fighting, with special moves (bankai, water breathing).
Both shows even have special, unique types of swords.
If you like Bleach, you're probably going to like Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer and Bleach are very similar.
Bleach kills hollows while Demon Slayers kill Demons
Bleach has a ranking toward there soul reapers(Captains) and Arrancars(Espada)
While Demon Slayer has ranking with "Demon Slayers"(Mizunto/Pillar) and Demons(Upper Moon Demons)
Bleach and Demon Slayer characters use sword techniques, as bleach has zanpakuto shikai and bankai, while Demon Slayer uses Breathing Techniques.
Samurai? Check
Superpower? Check
Demon? Or something like that? Check
And I think both of main characters have a similar character development concept, zero to hero. The best thing for these two are the epic fighting scene. Also each characters have various strengths which can make you want to watch
Two solid shows with great animation(Bleach's animation was pretty good considering that it aired from 2004-2012)where the protagonist has to slay demons/hollows "to protect" (Ichigo Kanji pun) the ones close to him.
Both really great sword fighting supernatural animes. Both have demon (hollows are similar to demons from KnY) that have lived tragic lives or have really sad backstories. Fights are extremely hype in both.
The organizations and the ranking systems that are fighting eachother are similar Demon Slaying Corps - Demons/ Soul Reapers - Hallows. Both series has cool sword fighting techniques and the skills of individuals are enjoyable to watch. It was a nice experience to watch Kimetsu no Yaiba before Bleach and seeing the resemblence .
Both have very similar premises and appeal. Elite warrior organizations training to face off against supernatural beings which average humans being powerless against. Both have a similar fighting style (using swords) and set up ranks and titles. Both of these are amazing shonens with good fights and great animation.
They are quite similar to each other both of them start out with the motive of killing the hollows (bleach) and the demons (in kny) but the thing is that both of them are worth watching demon slayer has one of the best animations of all time
- Both follow protagonists who lose a lot and face trauma in the first episode
- Fighting demons is similar to fighting titan, both eat humans as well
- Similar demon slaying corp to the military police
Both involve tragedies to our main heroes family right at the start of series.
Both involve formidable monsters who prey on humans and the few dedicated enough to fight and combat the issue on the front lines.
Both have dark/demonic themes.
Both anime has a fight between humanity and Titans/Demons. Bigger enemy is scary, strong and hard to defeat, but there are groups dealing with them. Demon slayers and Survey Corps. Then we have naive main character who looses people that are important to him. Lots of tears, screaming and trying to make things better. Few years of training to become a man and then the MC is out to destroy them all.
-Both protagonists are left with only their 'sister' character after the demise of the rest of their family members, and swear revenge against the perpetrators
-Both protagonists undergo rigorous training and join in a military organization aimed to bring down an evil race terrorizing humans
-Both are more deeply grounded in reality than most other fantasy shows
- Both series follow protagonists who have their family eaten by the titans/demons
- Both titans and demons eat humans and are/were humans
- The MCs are naive & optimists + after some training, they become VERY strong
- Both MCs want to revenge their families
Similarities:
1- Both MCs's families were killed by human eating creatures
2- humans fight human eating creatures for survival
3- These human eating creatures came out of nowhere and threatened humans
4- MCs enters the special force which kills and fights these creatures
5- MCs are naive & optimists + after some training, they become strong
6- Both MCs want to revenge their families
7- similar setting and atmosphere
Both deals with similar situations, which is another species (Demons or Titans) representing a sense of danger to the world. Protagonist must defeat them in order the allow the human race to survive. Shingeki makes a more complex/thrilling approach while Kimetsu deals with more typical/light and dark themes while both being really good in my opinion.
This two anime is really similar, no, this might even be a copy-paste-modify.
(SPOILER) "not that much"
* Both are fighting a against demon or so-called-devil, which is a Superior Beings for humans.
* Both have to cut a specific body part to kill the Superior Being which is the nape (Shingeki no Kyojin) and the whole neck (Kimetsu no Yaiba), jeez.
* That SB eats human.
* Main character that obtain or become the power of the SB and used that power to fight against them.
* Use swords.
* A party of people that focus on fighting against the enemy.
* Main Character's family member got slaughter by SB, "in the beginning of the show".
* Both have that amazing a memorable uniform
* After the slaughter, the MC started to learn how to kill the SB.
* A quiet girl that seems to have an interest to the Protagonist.
* The MC's father seems to have a big mystery.
* Cute and Hot heroines.
* Both show is in old times.
* Dope Animation.read more
While watching kimetsu no Yaiba I got attack on Titan vibes
Both of them has a stunning visuals but being honest I liked the visuals of kimetsu no Yaiba then attack on Titan
Just watch this anime u won't be disappointed
It's not all that similar other than the protagonist grows through tragedy and finds power hidden within him and all the simple yet effective cliche's. Also both are about killin' baddies
The premise of the whole story is almost the same for both of these. Both have : a MC whose family gets eaten, some sort of organization that fights the creatures, revenge themes, a character(/s) who is a creature, but helps humanity, etc.
The biggest difference that I can see is the fact that Shingeki no Kyojin gets more and more political as it goes on (it covers politically based issues and conflicts). I don't see that happening with Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Shingeki no Kyojin and Kimetsu no Yaiba has its similarities, the main one being the idea of humans vs a supernatural creature. It's humans vs titans and demons, respectively. Both creatures have only a certain way of killing them which makes both series amusing and on your toes. Also, the concept of a supernatural creature helping and killing its own kind is also very relevant in both series and enjoyable to watch.
This Anime is outstanding, so to start off, what are you doing with your life if you haven't watched Attack on Titan.
~ Main Protagonist experiences trauma from a family member dying on the first episode.
~ The Survey Corps are similar to the Demon Slayer Corps.
~ Both Action packed fighting against inhuman monsters.
* Attack on Titan is so SO much more than meets the eye, do not drop the show unless you have at least started season 2. My first impression was that it was a typical Shonen with a edgy annoying MC, then I heard that season 4 was in the making, and I wanted to see what the hype was about, this show changed my life, this gave me a whole different outlook on anime, I cannot describe how amazing this show is from the amazing art of foreshadowing used in this show, to all the mysteries thrown at you that you don't understand at first but keep wondering, that's a key factor to this show, and it keeps you watching because you are so engaged and intrigued by how much is happening ( You wont experience this much in season 1), you see something in the show and wonder *"oh that's weird I wonder what that means", then later on you figure it out because of how it all lines up. The way this show is executed is absolutely genius, I can confidently say that there isn't a single bad episode of AOT, the intriguing mysteries, the action packed scenes with amazing animation and OST, the awesome OP's. And the insane foreshadowing makes this anime a really good rewatch. Anyway I highly recommend this to anyone who watches anime, give it a chance, trust me its worth it.read more
Similarities:
The male main characters from both shows (Tanjiro, Eren) have a lot in personality, where they are also in a similar situation.
Tragedies among family members of the main characters
Fighting similar creatures who are taking over the world (Titans/demons)
Both MCs wants revenge for their families
-Both include the main character getting power similar to the enemy
-Both include regenerative enemies
-Both include tragic backstories
Demon slayer, however, puts much more human into its villains than the Titans which are very disposable. If you want more action I recommend AOT. If you want more character development I recommend Demon Slayer.
Awful demons and titans, overwhelmed with blood scenes.
Both have parents' death at first episode, tragedy, revenge.
Great animation and fighting scenes.
The main character both lose their family to a supernatural being and so they became a person who kills those supernatural beings. They both have a sister ( I'm not sure if Eren and Mikasa are siblings but people say they are? ) and they both adventure with them.
- Both follow protagonists who lose a lot and face trauma in the first episode
- Fighting demons is similar to fighting a titan, both eat humans as well
- Similar demon slaying corp to the military police
- Both follow charcters who use special weapons to reach their goal e.g. Survey Corps Maneuver Gear
Both series revolve around one sibling looking out for and trying to heal another sibling of an ailment.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a full adaptation of the original manga series. It is set in a fictional, European inspired setting and revolves around the supernatural element of alchemy.
Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer is set in what seems to be towards the end of the meiji period of Japan where technology is being steadily introduced, though I may be wrong, and is about a young man who is trying to save his sister while following the path of a demon slayer.
the siblings main characters travel to find their inhuman enemies to avenge the loss of their family, meeting many other well written and deep characters, uncovering the truth of the enemies plans, battling against them with a power that they learn to master, making meaningful experiences along the way
Both are Epic Adventures that are about two sibings that go on a journey after there family members died, on this journey the older sibing is looking for a way to turn his younger sibing back to normal, this Journey is also not easy because the sibings must fight many strong many strong monsters.
-Both include protagonists that are motivated by the goal of saving a sibling that they care deeply for.
-The main antagonist is one that is not known to the public eye.
-There are lighthearted moments of affection shown in occasional scenes of both fmab and kny.
-The siblings in both anime have great disabilities, but they are not helpless at all. They make up for their disadvantages in other ways like brute strength or toughness.
-The protagonists have survived tragic backstories.
-In both fmab and kny, the protagonists are sent to different locations on their journey to save their siblings, giving the shows a nice, adventurous feel.
-Both see the protagonist losing their family early in the story
-Both protagonists aim to heal their sibling from the traumatic transformation they undergo, and have them traveling all around the world to find a cure
-Both involve the protagonist joining some sort of organization to further this goal
-Both have similar comedic attributes
Both helps his brother or his sister back to human.
Tanjiro helps his sister Nezuko demon back to human and Edward Elric helps his brother Alphonse to bring his body back.
When you watch either, then you are likely drawn in by the very concept of the main character's drive. To right the wrong done to their family as they explore an intriguing world with concepts you will come to understand. Both series ends up challenging these stalwart characters on their quest to find the solution to a seemingly hopeless situation.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood takes a more loose approach, giving these characters time to explore this world and try to understand exactly what it is they are trying to find: the philosopher stone.
Demon Slayer takes a more methodical approach giving the solution very clearly, but a most difficult task. Having the main antagonist, the final boss, reverse the issue. Thus, the main character trains to face off his underlings to eventually reach the final boss.
While the concepts do differ, their approach to the concept has many similarities due to these main characters.
* There is a goon squad under the main enemy.
* Their quest is a seemingly hopeless one.
* There are various superpower concepts to learn as the story progresses.
* They face hardship due to the issue that caused the characters to go on a quest.
* Silly things happen sometimes to humanize the main characters, i.e. they aren't aloof robotic edgelords.
So, with these in mind, you'll be able to find yourself drawn into each for the same reasons.read more
Both series have an older brother, who goes to hell and back to save their younger sibling turn back to a human. They also have a strong focus on character and share a similar tone.
Both series follow 2 siblings after tragedy strikes, struggling to reassemble their lives. They both have a darker somewhat realistic tone to your typical shounen with fairly intelligent likable leads.
One thing I find quite striking are these little moments of empathy the protagonists shares with their enemies due to their similarities with the protagonist's sibling.
In both series, the elder brother works for a government like organization. As a result, they must travel all over the country as they look for the cure to return their siblings to how they once were.
Both stories are centered on two brothers. The goals of both animes aim at the recovery of the younger brothers, in the FMAB the body of Alphonse and in Demon Slayer the humanity of Nezuko.
There are incredible battles and powerful villains, as well as a lot of blood in the fights. In both anime, the villain who creates all the opponents found during the anime.
Both having funny moment before and after fighting
both anime have the same story,to make mc brother(fma) sibling(kny)
return back to human.
Both anime using elements to attack like wind,fire,water. The Differences are fma using some pole to create magic while kny only needs a sword
take fma if you want story,take kny if you want graphics :D
"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" may not have demons as such, but we will also find some enemies beyond the human that perfectly allow us to place it in terms of anime similar to "Kimetsu no Yaiba". However, it is not the action or the context that makes the anime earn this inclusion, but the most marked reason lies in the story of Edward Elric with his brother Alphonse. In a similar way in which Nezuko is turned into a demon, during a failed alchemy process Alphonse ends up being trapped in medieval court armor. In this way, both anime closely follow the story of two brothers who will be caught up in a major conflict.read more
Both are really good shounen with great animation.
Both show sibling love whose family is dead and they want to get human form again.
It also has a lot of action and good story.
I really recommend watching kimetsu no yaiba if you like fullmetal alchemist.
both of them are about the main character trying to bring his brother/sister back to normal.
both are journey-themed animes.
both are regional progressive productions.
both of them have nice fight scenes, but they are not at a good level in terms of the story.
Both main characters are kind, sensitive, intelligent and with their own little quirks. Super power and a super sensitive nose. Both Tanjiro and Midoryia have a trainer (Urokodaki and All Might), they go through lots of hardships in early year, but have decent development and become stronger.
Shows that are the definition of "how to be an anime shounen". Both are great anime that do not change much or almost nothing of the famous formula of a shounen (powers, protagonism, the power of friendship, etc.), but that simply execute it in the right way, unlike many others that waste potential to become more mainstream. The first is more about superheroes, and the second is about demon hunters. Simple and generic concepts in theory, but very well made and fun in practice.
Two mainstream Shounen Jump anime with similar protagonists. Large amounts of comedic relief with side characters and self-improvement with protag. Slower-paced story with every fight lasting three to four episodes.
This are great shonen's who show very well the way to became strong and go for your dream. Main's characters are similar in that case. Alsow their personalities. Good fights and motivations
Similarities:
▪ Common Shounen tropes like:
- ALMOST DIED moments.
- CRYING in episode one.
- Having PLOT ARMOR.
- Being OVERPOWERED.
- Having a "Harem".
- Simping for the supporting characters.
- Making new friends and enemies along the way.
▪ Both of the main characters are teenagers (15 - 17 years old) and are a group of 3 people (Trio).
▪ They met two good allies (one lady and one gentleman) as they began their journey.
- My Hero Academia: Ochako Uraraka and Iida Tenya.
- Demon Slayer: Lady Tamayo and Yushiro.
▪ Both of them are fighting for a noble cause.
- My Hero Academia: Arresting villains to keep the superhuman society safe.
- Demon Slayer: Killing demons to make the world peaceful again.
▪ The first story arc is about both of them training with their mentors.
- My Hero Academia: All Might (Toshinori Yagi).
- Demon Slayer: Urokodaki Sakonji (Former Water Pillar).
To become what they want to be: Hero | Demon Slayer.
▪ They often broke something while fighting:
- Midoriya keeps breaking his bones while using his "One For All" quirk.
- Tanjiro keeps breaking his black Nichirin sword while battling Demons.
▪ Everything in the characters' thoughts is narrated.
Differences:
▪ My Hero Academia is set in modern-day society. (2014 - Now)
▪ Demon Slayer is set in the past: Taisho era of feudal Japan. (1912 - 1926)
▪ Midoriya has a long-term goal: To be the number one hero and become the next "Symbol of Peace" like his favorite idol, All Might.
▪ Tanjiro has a short-term goal: To become a Demon Slayer and cure his little sister, Nezuko, so that she can be a human again.read more
My hero academia is a lot like demon slayer in the way they both have a motivated main protagonist that defends people, and they both have minimal fan service, so you don't have to worry about your parents walking in at the wrong time 😅
If you're looking for a new-gen action anime that's worth watching then I recommend these animes to you. (But in my opinion My hero Academia is the better anime, because not only does my hero academia have more sequels, but it also has more character development.)
In both anime, the protagonist is quite weak but can perform admirably when called upon. Both anime series feature a trio of three. Boku no Hero has Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto, while Demon Slayer has Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. Both trios are quite similar, both trios are cringy but still entertaining to watch, and both trios lack a love interest. Both of these shows have excellent animation and endearing characters. If you like one, I highly recommend the other.
Both are similar stories based on a hero's journey or beginnings.
- Boku no hero is centred around Deku's dream to one day be like his role model, All
Might.
- Kimetsu no Yaiba too has a protagonist who trains to be a protector and defender of
the vulnerable. However, this quest is a necessity due to the nature of the world the
characters reside in. The story is much darker and melancholic.
- Both have distinction for the most powerful their respective "warriors". The people to
aspire to, to be mentored by, to depend on. The protags will eventually succeed them.
- The humour in both animes is silly and ironic. Lots of yelling and crying. Kimetsu no
Yaiba does it better though.
- The fights are bloody cool.

I'm guessing people have made this comparison before but Muzan really reminds me of Meruem for some reason, mostly aesthetically but also Muruem when freshly hatched even seems similar personality wise.
The dedication and intense training it takes to become both a Hunter and a Demon Slayer is similar.
Although in HxH they're not demons they also face a lot of inhuman enemies.
The hunter x hunter chimera ant arc from the 2011 show has alot of similarities to this show.
here are some of them:
- Both deal with insectlike opponents and enemies at some point.
- Both shows have great battles that are well made and exciting and have somewhat the same feel to them.
- Both battleshounen
- Both gradually get more dark
Two exciting and violent battle shounen anime about a group of young protagonists that have to face many brutal challenges, they have to constantly fight and deal with much much stronger opponents. Both shows have excellent production values with exciting fight scenes.
Both got great fighting animation, got strong main character, amazing stories, and the adventure. The best from these both is the adventure and the action scenes.
-Similar protagonist vibes and action due to them being both action shoujens
-Main antagonists from both animes remind you heavily of eachother
-Protagonists fighting powerful terroristic group with powerful enemies with unique abilities
In terms of quality, both remarkable shounens stand at almost equal footing, both higher than what other shounens have done.
From I can name on the top of my head...
-Both protagonists are hard-headed individuals, guys who don't think before they speak but instead let their emotions do the talking for them.
-Both animes have overall beautiful and riveting soundtracks, which are immensely crucial to making their scenes as impactful as it is. While they hold different styles, it would be difficult to prefer one over the other. The quality of the music are on par.
-When you take all the seriousness out of the stories, both have a special kind of lightheartedness attached to the anime

similarities:
1- The MCs are optimists + after some training, they become VERY strong
2- Good Action
3- Adventure Gore Action Group of friends
4- Both MCs are on an adventure with a partner and are looking for something
5- Both MCs have huge potential and are extremely strong
Although this show is fairly new, even the Hunter x Hunter mangaka (Togashi) recommended reading the Kimetsu no Yaiba manga series. The anime adaptation has been great so far and as a huge fan of HxH, I've enjoyed it.
The MCs in both of these anime have the same personality, They are very nice and lovable just like their friends. The fighting scenes are really awesome and the adventures of the characters are really cool. Both anime have such good characters, it's hard to find alot of characters that you'll hate!
both only famous thanks to the anime
(thanks to Ufotable & Madhouse to be precise)
but how to put this? if you liked kny ,watch hxh, you'll like it
and if you have watched hxh, watch kny its not long anime that bothers you
Both feature young characters who train themselves to their upmost limits to join the elite ranks of those who battle demons (the demon slayers in KnY and the exorcists in AnE).
- Both series follow protagonists who have lost their family
- Both MCs are fighting demons: to save the the mankind & to get revenge
- The MCs are naive & optimists
- Both MCs are seeking revenge
Both Protagonists suffers after losing their closest family. In Kimestsu no Yaiba Kamado Tanjirou loses his whole family except his sister and in Blue Exorcist aka ( Ao no Exorcist ) Rin loses his father. After both going through a trauma, they both kill demons. The concept of the story of its beginnings are the same, but however later on the story differ from it other.
Rin and Kamado both wield swords, but Rin's sword releases fire while Kamado's releases water.
Both are protagonists who lost their family by the power of a king of monsters, and throughout history they awaken the strength that resides in them to defeat evil
Revenge. As for the two animes, Demon Slayer and Blue Exorcist have a lot in common. For starters, their families passed away in a tragic event where it will never be forgotten by the Main Character and will always be a motivation for them to be better so they avoid these situations and protect their loved ones.
Both shows are really well made in terms of Art Style, Plot, and storyline which fills up the show with emotions. The Main Characters seek revenge for their families and wish for this tragedy to never happen again to anyone in this world. Therefore, they plan to kill every last demon (In both shows) to have revenge for their family and save mankind.read more
Kimetsu no Yaiba reminded me of Inu Yasha, both shows center on our male lead and involve demon slaying. The setting is historical Japan, and the characters are very fleshed out, even the demons get some of their own backstories. If you've seen Inu Yasha and would like a similar experience, Kimetsu no Yaiba is a fantastically animated shounen with it's very lovable characters and bits of comedy throughout.
Both series are set in historical Japan, but different eras. The main characters form a team of demons and humans working together against demons. There is one specific powerful demon that is their main target. The demons they face are awesome and unique. The main characters use swords and feature interesting sword fighting.
The setting is the same, the main villain I could say is the same as well (the difference between naraku and muzan is that muzan was a fan of michael jackson) both take into the account friendship and swords against the enemy and grow as a group and not as a single character.
- Both series take place in a historical Japan where Demon exists.
- The MC has to fight and kill demons.
- Both series has people who do demon slaying as a job.
- Are set in old Japan
- Main focus is slaying demons
- Both have a group called "Demon Slayers"
- Have a main character that is looking to become human/demon
- Similar looking main villains
- Have characters that are fleshed out, including the villains they encounter
- Both have magic swords, though different in their abilities
If you like Demon Slayer i suggest you watch Inuyasha, they both having fair similarities in both of their franchises, we believe there is a connection between how Inuyasha was able to present Demon Slayers, and in doing so, Assassin Demon Sword was able to assist in bringing Inuyasha back! With an Inuyasha sequel recently confirmed in the form of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, there's no better time to look back at the past and future of these anime series, and how they might connect with each other. how!
both take place in a world in which demons are quite actively present, although the truth is that in the case of "Inuyasha" their presence is much greater than in "Kimetsu no Yaiba". In fact, so much so that we will find hundreds of different episodes in which the main objective will be to defeat demons that possess fragments of a sphere with the ability to completely transform a living being.
Just like Kimetsu no Yaiba, the world-building of Owari no Seraph involves demons, though vampires are the biggest threat in the latter series. The main characters of the anime have a lot in common when it comes to personality. Besides, the main character of Owari no Seraph has a friend who goes through a terrible transformation, which is similar to what happened to Tanjiro and Nezuko in Kimetsu no Yaiba. In short, if you enjoyed Kimetsu no Yaiba there's a good chance you'll enjoy Owari no Seraph too, and the other way around.
I think both of these shows follow similar shounen troupes where the main character's life is drastically altered by the actions of a rival race, and he takes up a sword. The protagonist's closest companion was turned into a member of the rival race against their wishes, but they still share a close bond. Similar themes about family and that the enemy isn't necessarily always a bad person/irredeemably awful.
Both are shows about a young boy who has his family killed by monsters but one sibling survives and that sibling becomes one of those monsters. The MC then joins an organization comprised mostly of teens that specialize in killing those monsters and they have to use special swords to kill those monsters.
The protagonists, the supernatural theme and the comedy tone. These three aspects make Owari no Seraph be a option if you searching for: protagonist with strong ideais, the supernatural vibe as demons / vampires, and comedy moments as a break during the plot
Both shounen take place in imperial Japan one way or another, where the supernatural-weapon-wielding forces of humanity seem destined to lose against their demonic opponents. Themes of love and family are presented primarily through the main character duos of either series, but don't disregard the respective well-animated, dope action.
MCs losing a companion and there companion changed into a vampire/demon
MCs having there family killed.
Wanting them to be normal again.
Similar Themes.
Similar settings with main and his family being devoured by the major antagonistic forces within both series, with demons in Kimetsu no Yaiba and Vampires in Owari no Seraph.
With the protagonist in both of them on a vow to eradicate those opposing forces, there's a lot of bloodshed and violence on offer. Some real gory fights, with amazing animation. After all both of them are from the most well-known studios in industry.
So if considering watching a fully action packed series with an old setting, go for Kimetsu no Yaiba, or if with a mix of high school and military, then Owari no Seraph is what should be considered.read more
One again, we're introduced to a young boy who loses his family to one of the strongest demons/vampires and joins a corporation that seeks to destroy the murderers of his family, meeting allies along the way. However, his sibling has been transformed into a demon/vampire and he wants to find a cure. These demons/vampires appear similar to humans, but they have different characteristics and seek to feast on humans.
Both shows are high intensity battle/action Shonen anime.
Both begin with tragedies to our main character's family.
Both shows have demons and demonic/evil themes and characters.
Two very separate worlds.
Both Shinra and Tanjiro lost their family, yet they have a sibling they want to save no matter what.
In a world full of demons and infernals both mc's are trying to find and stop the culprit.
They also have an intention to turn infernals and demons back to humans.
Great animation, lots of fights, action, awesome soundtracks, humor and more.
Both Anime have:
-Protagonist who have lost family in supernatural ways
-Protagonist join forces that attack said supernatural being
-Protagonist has a goal to find cause of supernatural phenomena
Both have high quality animation especially with fast motion scenes.
Loss. Demon Slayer and Fire Force are especially similar with family members dying, only to go on a long journey full of intense training and fights to find the answers of what bestowed upon them on that cursed day.
Demon Slayer does this with Tanjiro finding how to save his last living family member Nezuko, Fire Force does this with Shinra finding who made the fire that day to take away his family.
Both are great action anime dedicated to the shounen demographic. Demon Slayer being more historical than Fire Force.
If you like heart-wrenching stories about justice for your family, these two shows are definitely the way to go. They have so many parallels yet are completely different in the best way possible.
The anime protagonists Tanjiro and Shinra have a similar backstory where they have to get through many tough times. However, although the losses has a very big impact on them, Tanjiro and Shinra have a very persistent and persevering action to try to fight back in a calm manner. They also have very caring tones towards their opponents. The side characters are also very similar to each other.
The animes themselves both have very similar themes fighting a whole organization of demons or villains. and the main plot also has resonating similarities, such as the idea of powers such as spinoffs of fire-based attacks in Fire Force and multiple breathing styles to bring out elements in Demon Slayer. read more
Both have similar things in which KNY they kill demons and in Fire force infernals, the two main characters strive for most of the same things and their backstories are fairly similar, fire force is more modern tho but yeah
Ghouls and Demons fighting against humanity. Some of them are able to affect people and become demi-humans. Or so called - half human half demon/ghoul. Main character goes through traumatic incidents which changes his life. Both MC's are naive, into crying and having their perfect world which is soon broken and changed by the reality. Some good fights, action, soundtracks and animation.
-Both have a supernatural foe that antagonizes the human race, however they look like humans (or similar to them)
-Both shows try to get you to sympathize with this foe by making it seem like it was out of their control or they had no choice but to do what they did
-Both see a main character transformed into that man-eating creature after a horrible accident
-Both follow the main character's journey to mature as he is suddenly subjected to a harsh turn of events in his life and fails to adapt quickly
Both having characters that are turn to part monster and have cannibalistic tendacies and also both have humans hunting them down too and lots and i mean lots of violence in it.
Kimetsu no Yaiba and Tokyo Ghoul are vastly similar in both a tonal, literal, and plot-oriented sense. The plots are almost creepily similar, and if you enjoyed/valued the serious, dramatic, adrenaline-pumping, potentially disturbing, and mind-boggling experience of one of these shows, I can garuntee you will come to appreciate that of the other. :D
In both shows there are human eating creatures that have regenerative powers. Also in both shows there's a character that is a demon/ghoul but doesn't actually want to harm humans.
Both go under the same premise of man eating monsters and are very popular animes. They also have a middlemen between the two races, Nezuko being previously human but turned into a demon and Kaneki being a human and becoming half ghoul.
Both of them are some sort of related to one another. Both of them refers to different creatures as their enemy. Their enemies regenerate. The main characters have the same voice actor. I highly recommend them. And I almost forgot, both of them will make you cry since there are a lot of characters that will soon die, so enjoy watching it.. ;)
Both anime have demons and children who are exposed to these demons early on in their lives and it drastically changes the paths their lives would've taken.
Both have great art styles, animation, characters, OST's and pacing.
Both are adapted from dark fantasy manga by shonen JUMP.
The promised neverland is about kids who were raised like live stocks in an orphanage that was not exactly what it seemed to be. The kids were raised to become food for demons and after finding out, they plan to escape. Both main characters face demons who had eaten their loved ones and both want to save what's precious to them. Although Demon slayer gives off more action and adventure than the promised neverland, the promised neverland is a very interesting and entertaining anime with unexpectedness crawling at every corner.
Demon slayer is about a boy whose whole family was killed by a demon and only his sister was spared, but his sister had undergo a transformation into a demon, his job is to now revenge his sister; to kill the ultimate demon that slayed his family and to find a way to turn his sister back into a human. A story about sibling love, character development and many different types of fighting arts, with adventure and the peaceful rest of demons.read more
Both anime are about children whose life become different after knowing that demons are always lurking around and harming humans. The children in Kimetsu no Yaiba and Yakusoku no Neverland are determined to banish evil demons and bring peace back to humanity.
To me its pretty similar to The promised neverland because its based around tweens because if you think about it there really not that old. And also there similar because tanjiro is like emma because he would do anything to protect their family.(Ok, im pretty sure almost everyone has watched this but i just have to reccomend cuz its awesome) One more thing it also includes demons so if ya like that-
Similarities:
• Demons and Humans killing each other because they can't co-exist in the same world.
• The main casts are underage minors (11 - 16 years old) and a trio (Group of three).
• They kill demons and put on a disguise to survive. (The Promised Neverland season 2)
• Shounen tropes like ALMOST DIED moments, crying in the first episode, making new friends and enemies along the way.
• Cannibalism and Social Hierarchy in demons. (The Promised Neverland season 2)
• They are fighting for a noble cause: Making the world peaceful again by killing demons.
• They met two good demons (one female and one male) that helped them with their goal early on in their journey.
- The Promised Neverland: Mujika and Sonju. (Season 2)
- Demon Slayer: Lady Tamayo and Yushiro.
• Everything that happens is explained afterward, usually in flashbacks.
Differences:
• The Promised Neverland is set in the far future. (2045 - 2047)
• Demon Slayer is set in the past, Taisho Era. (1912 - 1926)
• The Promised Neverland: The first story arc is about the main cast planning an escape from Gracefield House.
• Demon Slayer: The first story arc is about the protagonist training with his mentor to become a Demon Slayer.read more
Both are dark fantasy series. Both have demons and child mc. Promised Neverland is more serious and thrilling while Demon Slayer is more laid back and cutesy.
Demon Slayer and The Promised Neverland are similar because they both are about in the same genre; they both consist of horror and suspense. While Demon Slayer is filled with action TPN is filled with plot twists and mystery. Both are great shows to watch and you won't regret starting them.
Both have human turned monsters, and they eat humans.
Both have have organization specialize in killing them
Both main chars' family/loved one are killed by monsters, thus making them to join the organization
Both main characters travel around wherever the missions lead them
Similar setting - demons roam the world and are hunted down by an organization that sends demonslayers/claymores after them.
In both cases the protagonist is in the demon-killing business, although their motivations differ.
Both shows are pretty dark.
If you like this setting, you should give both shows a shot.
Are both dark fantasy
are both man-eating Claymore have Yoma, Kimetsu no Yaiba demons
are both seeking for revenge
are both works in killing monsters
are both have organization in Killing monsters claymore have organization and Kimetsu no Yaiba have Demon Killing Corps.
claymore set on a fictional medievalis and more gore and darker than Kimetsu no Yaiba
Both dark fantasy.
Both have "monsters" eating on humans.
Both have familar feelings. (Are they really monsters?)
Both have some kind of organization that fight's monster.
Diffrences:
Kimetsu no Yaiba is set in Japan.
Claymore is more "European" setting.
- they're both shonen with dark elements
- they both feature man-eating monsters, Yoma in Claymore and Demons in Demon Slayer
- they both feature a certain monster-slaying organization of powerful warriors, the Claymores and the Demon Slayer Corps
- the organizations have members, that are ranked by strength
- both features sword fighting, monster-slaying, and lots of beheading
- the MCs lost a loved one in their life and thus were willing to join the monster-slaying organization and seek revenge
Warriors from an unofficial organisation fight against man-eating demons. Both are sword fighting manga with well drawn fight scenes. Claymore is set in a fantasy world while KNY is set in Japan, but they both have historical settings. Characters fight to protect regular humans or to get revenge on the demons. (CTRL C+V of my manga recommendation)
Similar: Both shows focus on organizations that hunt down and kill off demons/monsters in order to help protect humanity by means of using a sword. Both shows are very bloody and violent with great action scenes. Both MCs suffer from a tragic loss of someone they love deeply and must train hard to help overcome their enemies.
Differences: Claymore follows a badass female MC that wants revenge against a certain demon/yoma and Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba follow a young boy who tries to find the cure for his sister that has turned into a demon. Claymore takes place in Medieval Time(most likely in Europe) and Demon Slayer takes place in 20th century Japan.
Both shows are great to watch but Claymore is much more darker in tone and mood while Demon Slayer has it's light-hearted moments combined with it's colorful art style. read more
In claymore there are also demons who eat humans and there is an assigned group of people that are trained to kill the demons. In this anime the demons are called yoma. The yoma slayers are called claymores or silver eyed witches, this name was given to them by the people but their corporation doesn't actually have a name.
In both:
-Women are badass.
-The protagonist have a serene and compressive personality.
-The protagonist cares about villains feels.
-The villains was transformed against their will.
-Special organization of "hunters" vs Group of villains transformed directly by the leader.
-The leader of the villains is an elusive entity that mixes in society.
-Special oraginization mechanic: uniforms, heal point/base, minios to help hunters, only two military ranges DGM (Exorcist and General) KnY (Hunter and Pillar)
I agree with all the other recommendations submitted by other users; the empathy the MCs have from both Kimetsu no Yaiba and D.Gray-Man ring loud and true in a world where they fight to slay/exorcise their own kind of "demon". They retain their humanity despite knowing just how cruel the demons are. Plus both MCs are quite sassy and have had tough mentor-figures!
The time and feel of the world setting run along the same lines and both series have ranks for both sides of the war. For ex: DGM = (exorcists & generals) VS (akuma + Noah under the Millenium Earl) while for KNY = (slayers and pillars) VS (demons + 12 demon moons under Muzan).read more
There's the "freeing demons' souls" theme in common, but what touches me in both series is how the characters are well made and, despite their natures, all of them feel human. DGM has a BIG problem with pacing and animation quality (the manga is far better), but the story makes you care about everyone there, even the villains. Similarly, in KnY, no character is thrown at you like a plot object. Everyone has a motivation, a mind and a story of its own.
Oh, where to begin? Both are dark fantasy shounen action anime that revolve around an organization of people who protect humanity from demons (in "D.Gray-man", they're called Akuma, but it's the same basic thing). They both have four main characters, three boys and one girl, all of whom are similar to each other:
Allen=Tanjiro===> Scarred, kind-hearted 15-year-old boys who show sympathy even for the demons of the series and give a whole new meaning to "killing with kindness."
Lenalee=Nezuko===> Yamato nadeshikos who fight primarily using kicks, are very protective of their "family" and have an extremely protective older brother.
Kanda=Inosuke===> Dumbest and rudest of the four, very arrogant and short-tempered and frequently pick fights with allies and enemies alike.
Lavi=Zenitsu===> Bipolar, sleep often and wield lightning-based attacks.
Additionally, in terms of role, the Demon Slayer Corps is the Black Order, the Twelve Kizuki are the Noah Family and Muzan himself is the Millennium Earl.
Both anime also take injuries seriously, in that if someone breaks a bone, they're not going to be fine after only a day or two. Additionally, "Demon Slayer"'s "The Song of Tanjiro Kamado" draws a few cues from "D.Gray-man"'s "The 14th Song".
While I can't say for certain, since "Demon Slayer" is still ongoing, so far I'd say both shows are equally good, with "D.Gray-man" having a better story, and "Demon Slayer" having better visuals and music. Basically, if you've watched one, you should definitely watch the other.read more
Both MC are very similar. They both hunt demons and they both have the particularity to feel pity towards the ones who have been turned into demons. Both story are happening during the early 19th century.
✦Taking the genres into consideration, the two might seem more "alike" than they actually are, but speaking in terms of the contextual situation overall, there aren't many differences.
✦Main characters both fit the "general" shounen type of a hero, and both are accompanied and surrounded by individuals of completely different personalities to add up to the humor and the actual story development.
✦The opposing sides are split by the mainstream struggle between "good" and "evil" where saving humanity is the main drive.
✦What brought the idea of resemblance the most is one of the main moral struggles the two protagonists have to encounter upon battling demons. When the untold stories begin to unravel, the view of what is "good" or "evil", and what is "just" or not is questioned, which then leads to a tangled course of events in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
✦A personal struggle is also included within this anime, as the protagonist is trying to unfold his backstory while struggling to become stronger and fighting against what is unjust {much like the case in Kimetsu no Yaiba}.
✦In terms of action, this anime delivers quite nicely with its staging of the fights and animation.read more
Both series follow a kindhearted protagonist who joins an organization that fights demons (called Akuma in D. Gray Man). Humanity is at a disadvantage in both series and there is an antagonist who creates all of the demons in both (Muzan in Kimetsu no Yaiba and The Millenium Earl in D. Gray Man). Both series also have interesting power systems (breath types in Kimetsu no Yaiba and innocence in D. Gray Man). As a side note, both series have amazing openings.
- Both have antagonists that's afraid of the sun
- Both have a kind protagonists
- The protagonists both have a best friend that is blonde.
In short, Kimetsu no Yaiba is a JoJo Reference.
Both have a gentle protagonist that take their trip for a revenge of their family, they sibbling got transformed into monsters, and both learn with and old man about the power system that works with breathing
Kimestu no Yaiba Was inspired by JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken and some other anime as well, both the main characters also use breathing techniques and fight demons, I highly recommend it if you like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken
Chainsaw Man is a much superior version of Demon Slayer with a little bit worse animation. The story and characters are way more interesting. The main cast in both series are monster slayers and the gore is plentiful in both.
Both series have a really good story and a fair amount of blood and gore in them, as well as both of the MCs have a distinct goal in mind, and are even willing to do some crazy shit to achieve them. Chainsaw man and demon slayer both contain demonic-like creatures portrayed as the enemy, but some are also used for good.
So the similarities between these two is that Tanjiro is hunting demons meanwhile Denji is hunting devils. Chainsaw man more violent and gory than demon slayer.
Both series see a prodigy orphan train himself to his limits in order to gain strength for his goal.
Both JUMP series.
Orochimaru is similarly dark to Muzan.
Both have great OST's, characters, world building and stories.
Both have amazing main characters, a great and compelling storyline, Simp characters, characters that just make you laugh, and great action! Though I will say if you're comparing the video quality Naruto/Naruto Shippuden has a lot less of that while Demon Slayer literally blows my mine with it's beauty ✨
Tanjirou represents Sasuke in a way.
-Both of the characters seek revenge. For Tanjirou, its Muzan Kibutsuji. For Sasuke, its Itachi
-The main characters travel in a trio
Revenge. As for the two animes, Demon Slayer and Naruto have a lot in common. For starters, their families passed away in a tragic event where it will never be forgotten by the Main Character and will always be a motivation for them to be better so they avoid these situations and protect their loved ones.
Both shows are really well made in terms of Art Style, Plot, and storyline which fills up the show with emotions. The Main Characters seek revenge for their families and wish for this tragedy to never happen again to anyone in this world. Therefore, they plan to eliminate everyone who causes massacres and to revenge their family and save mankind.read more
both have stories and good characters, only flaw about demon slayer is its sorta slow start due to it being in its first season, but it speeds up a lot faster than other shows imo.
if you like demon slayer purely because of the animation watch unlimited blade works. they are made by the same studio so you can expect the same quality of animation.
Top tier animation and fight choreography, but also extremely similar characters with admirable leads and adorable supports undertaking straightforward and arduous goals.
Honestly, the only two similarities between these two anime are the fact that they have vivid, ravishing, elegant animation to their stories at play, and I'd like to think that said animation greatly enhances everything in these two anime, from more impactful storytelling and conveying of feels. Otherwise, there isn't a lot more to go on about.
The two stories are there for those looking for action with passion built into the very veins of these shows. One side is the Japanese way, with the other the Chinese way. Good historical works and representations too.
Both are humans vs Demons with beautifully animated fights. Wu Shan Wu Xing is a lot faster paced and has alot of action. It's a Chinese anime so quite a different style of animation to Japanese anime however once you get used to the style the fights look amazing.
chinese anime with Amazing fight scenes the animation is unique if you enjoyed avatar the last airbender its similiar peoples can get power of fire , water , wood , steal , earth to fight monsters
• Human Vs Demon is the major plot point in both the anime.
• Both the anime have amazing sound track and animation.
• Both the story takes lot of inspection from Japanese/Chinese folktale and traditions.
- both are shounen which include a lot of training followed by battles
- both feature similar main characters who start off with no power but after working hard are able to accomplish a lot
- both have a group of powerful characters who have mastered their elements and act as mentors and inspiration to the main character and his friends
- both able to slip in a bit of comedy
Both animes is in a old setting-samurai era. Both have mystical powers, specialized in natural elements like fire. The visual effects are, somewhat, similar.
Both Anime are very untypical Shounen and have same genre and theme. It does not simply revolve around being stronger and stronger, but have much more meaningful goals. A lot tragic moments in both. Hells paradise are philosophical manga and aren't simply black/white. Good/Evil are questioned throughout the whole series, the purpose of Life and similar themes. Both Mc have similar reason to fight -for beloved ones sake-, Tanjiro has the one only remain sister to protect and Gabimaru's wife waiting for his return. also protagonist duo had to defeat tough villains even have half-eternal lifes. There is also have super power source based on physical called Breathe at demon slayer and Tao at Hells paradise, and elemental attribute like Water, Fire, Earth, etc.read more
I have seen just another person recommend Nanatsu no Taizai and I think it's unfair because their both great animes. Very similar indeed, both being about some knights/slayers hunting demons and wanting to save their loved ones. The MCs are kinda relatable to each other, both being small, friendly, OP when needed characters.
- Both anime follow a diverse cast, each with there own quirk who work together to achieve a common goal and fight against Demons
- Also each character has their own tragic backstory
- Both series are shonen which show how the characters progress and grow stronger.
-Good Action and visuals too
I enjoyed both of these series significantly. While Vinland Saga has countless differences from Demon Slayer, including genre (historical), violence level (far more violent than Demon Slayer), and protagonist personalities, one will likely enjoy both as:
- both are shonen (to my knowledge)
- both protagonists are talented in combat
- both are motivated by their family relationships in the main plot. In Demon Slayer, the protagonist is motivated to save/work with his sister despite her inhuman nature, and Vinland Saga was born out of the protagonist's desire for revenge for his father.
- There are quite a few combat scenes in both.
- Both are newer shows, so they have vibrant and up-to-date art and fun soundtracks to appeal to today's audience.
It is worth noting that Vinland Saga has much more of a mature vibe and world-building than Demon Slayer, so one who enjoys the maturity and historical aspect of Vinland Saga might be turned off by the Demon Slayer. read more
They both follow a young lad with one or more parents killed at the start of the series. They meet interesting characters and the animation is beautiful in both of the shows.
The action in Vinland Saga and in Demon Slayer is amazing, the fight scenes are so good.
They are also similar in length.
Both Vinland Saga and Demon Slayer have protagonists who lose almost everything they love, with exceptional fight scenes, and action. Although Demon Slayer has a more optimistic lead character who instead of going absolutely nuts like Thorfinn tries to be more optimistic and protect other people from the suffering he had to endure himself.
Both animes are in the historical setting and the characters are determined to defeat a powerful demon. Both of them also revolve around familial love specifically on siblings.
Both contain dramatic stories of supernatural creatures which the protagonist meets. For "Kimetsu no Yaiba" these are stories of people who lost their lives and became demons that try to compensate their regrets from the lifetime. Tanjirou is helping them just by understanding them and treating like humans. In "Natsume Yuujinchou" the protagonist solves problems of many youkai, the most common issue of whose is loneliness caused by inability to communicate with people.
Both focus around supernatural storytelling and focus around the main characters interactions with said supernatural beings and trying to resolve the issues around supernatural beings as well too.
Both main characters are pretty naive, sensitive and loving. They have a traumatic incident, lose people they love and understand how harsh life can be. Both MC's are pushed into training and becoming better with a higher goal in their mind.
there both an action anime, i like them both because of the charecters that easy to love them, and they dont have a hard story with a lot of explanations
You saw this recommendation coming right?
MC and Tanjiro share the same eye color/art style. They're both surprising mature and quick to learn. You can see character development really early on.
As for generic storyline similarities:
Main character discovers a world beyond humans and has to learn how to deal with them. Major theme is friendship and also trying to decipher what is considered human.
Great pacing and story line.
High potential. Somehow it seems like a spinoff, but both series are not related.
The artstyle from both anime nearly the same and the powersystem of both anime ist also close to each other kabane is like the nice and quiet when you have watched demon slayer go watch Kemono jihen
Both anime are about demons, but thats not the only similarity; the animation in both are absolutely stunning. However, in my opinion Grandmaster of demonic cultivation has even better plot, fights, characters and themes. Its a beautiful watch (first 2 episodes are confusing but episode after episode you'll understand more). Highly recommended
Sirius and Demon Slayer have a similar premise. A boy seeks to avenge the slaughtering of his family by supernatural creatures. Sirius is set in the interwar period while Demon Slayer is set in the Meiiji period. Yuliy (Sirius) and Tanjirou (Demon Slayer) joins an organization to help them in their quest for vengeance. Yuliy is naturally powerful because of his innate abilities whereas Tanjirou developed his skills through training and combat. Your level of enjoyment for each series will likely parallel the production value of the series.
These animes both have supernatural interactions and fun stories. Tanjiro and Hanako are both trying to beat the evil side even though their both afraid of doing it so. Tsukasa and Muzan both created a source of evil in a violent way.
These two animes have a lot in common which is why I think their a good match up.
Do you just want to turn off your brain and just want to watch anything that has great animation??Then you have come to the correct recommendation.Kimetsu no yaiba and One punch man have done a great job in both animation and ost.Both have lovable characters.Both plots don't go into much detail.You will love both of these anime if you just want to watch anything that has a great animation.
Demon Slayer and FMA have similar character roles and fights against demons but the atmosphere isn’t the same.
After the death or disappearance of their entire family, the main characters (Tanjirou/Edward) share similar goals, to search for a way to return the body of their younger sibling (Nezuko/Alphonse) to normal.
(Tanjirou/Edward) fight side by side with their younger sibling (Nezuko/Alphonse) and the bond they share is admired by others such as (Mitsuri/Armstrong) not to mention (Giyuu/Roy) the person who lead the way for them to be what they are in the story(military alchemist/demon slayer) also share some characteristics like being cold but considerate and protective of them.
Brief:
*Tanjirou Kamado similar to Edward Elric
*Nezuko Kamado similar to Alphonse Elric
*Giyuu Tomioka similar to Roy Mustang
*Mitsuri Kanroji similar to Armstrongread more
Both series share a dark oriental mystical setting; Moribito being in a ancient Asian inspired territory and Kimetsu set in 19th century Japan. They both follow a character acting as a guardian for a child they share a deep bond with.
They're both adventure fantasies with some really awesome action and magic, though Moribito's action scenes are more realistic; mostly focusing on weapons based martial arts whereas as Kimetsu uses a mixture of martial arts and magic.
They both follow Japanese folklore, the main character travels and protects someone. They both are on a mission for removing a curse and learn information about it in this journey.
-their similar ranking of hunters (adventurers in GS / Demon slayers in KNY) 10 ranks in both .
-they are both about the protagonist hunting monsters as in demons or goblins for killing their loved ones.
-even the names are similar (Goblin / Demon ) Slayer :)
-Goblin slayer is more gruesome and gory than Demon slayer , but they are both not that disturbing if u ask me.
all in all if u liked demon slayer i definetely recommend checking out goblin slayer ....
Demons and Titans have one thing in common! They eat humans to survive or for bloodlust!
Kimetsu no Yaiba, they have Demon Corps to slay all the demons to protect humanity!
Attack on Titan has three divisions. Military, Garrison, and Scouts. These three divisions have different goals in their nation. One is to fortify the walls, One is to guard the community and one is to slay demons.
World Trigger has the most strategic and tactical fights, hands down the most underrated anime. It builds a little slow, ep1 kinda sucks, so make it past the first few episodes! side note, the dub is trash, very trash. But the anime is a must watch. Story is pretty good, fights are legendary!
Both feature demons and show their own interpretations of demon society. Blood lad is a lot more lighthearted although both shows depict similar ideas of supernatural demonic entities. Both have great humour although Demon Slayer/KnY's is used more sparingly.
both animes are about a girl who turned into a certain type of monsters and the main character is trying hard to make her a human again , the story is about demons and vampires , wearwolves and other monsters too
things that make one of the animes unique to the other :
kimetsu no yaiba : the girl is the main character's sister , the main character is a demon slayer , the main character is a human and he's able to use an unnatural power which every demon slayer can use
blood lad : tha girl isn't the main character's sister , the main character himself is a vampire , the main character fell in love with the girl , the world building is different , the main charavter is overpoweredread more
protagonist with tragic backstory fights against evil creatures. pseudo historical japanese samurai. colorful characters with decent (or excellent!) action scenes. what's not to love.
Both have strange creatures who infect people (Kabane/Oni)
Both have a character who is infected but can control it
Awesome animation and OST
On both anime, one of the main goals is to find a cure for the infectees
Good battle scenes
Both stories are set in the past (KnK during the industrial revolution, KnY during Taisho era)
The MC in both anime are hunting demons/vampires with a katana.
The feeling is different though. Blood+ is oldstyle and more dramatic. Vampires don't have feelings and only kill, so they have to be killed, while in KnY, the demons do and the MC can feel their emotional past/state.
One of the things which drew me to making this recommendation is the similarity in styles, but they also involve the subject of demons, although the takes differ except for one thing, that demons are a form of corruption. There is also a search for a cure going on, albeit who is cursed and who is searching for the curse differs slightly as well. The characters from both series are quite diverse in personality types, and the action is riveting.
The will to leave everything behind, the need to save that which is important to you, and the strength to push forward with whatever the future may hold.
Stories KnY and Princess Mononoke both follow two individuals who go out, far away from their home in order to find something that may change the dark fate that occurred to their homes on that fateful day. With such a trek, come new ones who join along which is seen in both stories.
Both are great anime, receiving very large positive reception, filled with amazing visuals and great audio too. Though Princess Mononoke has a deeper more sophisticated story than KnY's general narrative, by no means bad.
read more
Both deal with supernatural evils and both fight with swords that each character has as a unique fighting style with. The set up of the warriors ranks and titles are very similar for both the good and bad sides. When watching this show my mind kept screaming Bleach (In a good way) and I think anyone who enjoyed Demon Slayer should at least give Bleach a look and vice versa.
Kimetsu no Yaiba is very connected to bleach so much, similar with story, Hollow and Demon, Soul Reaper and Demon Slayer, 13 squads Captain and 9 Demon slayer hashira, Espada and Demon Moons, the main character who become a soul reaper/demon slayer and have lost the parents, bleach is like brother to Kimetsu no Yaiba.
A career demon killer teams up with a demon to - what else? - kill demons and save their sibling.
It's not an original plot, but both shows manage to make it their own by building interesting and unique settings - both (roughly) set in the 1920's, in Taisho-era Japan and the Jazz Age United States. There's a definite emphasis on action, but the shows don't back down from leaning into both the comedy and tragedy aspects of the genre when needed.
Chrono Crusade fans can enjoy the beautiful animation and modern artstyle present in Kimetsu no Yaiba, while Kimetsu no Yaiba fans can look to Chrono Crusade for more of this kind of story - with the benefit of a conclusive ending - while waiting for the next season.read more
in both, main character is a part of demon fighting organization, travels with a demon buddy, and seeks to turn their sibling back to normal. both series take place during the same time period around 1920s, in america and japan respectively. both have similar powerful and enigmatic main villain.
The two series doesn't have the same chemistry but they do share the same doing.
Both Protagonist is fighting against evil supernatural creatures and sometimes they have to suffer though alot to destory their enemies.
If you like the part of Demon Slayer where Tanjiro is trying to save Nezuko, then you might like Somali and the Forest Spirit. Thought this anime has barely any fights it is instead replaced with awesome adventures to different cities with great sceneries and with great characters too
These two animes are very similar in ways. First of all they both feature demons as enemies. But Hataraku Maou-sama! is more of an isekai anime?. Kimetsu no Yaiba has "Demon Slayers.'' as you can tell they slay/kill demons. And about Hataraku Maou-sama! cant really explain the anime because its.. complicated.. just watch it if you want! It also has a season 2 airing right now!
both are action focused shonen with humor along the way. They both got really good animation and visual. If you liked one of them there's some good chance you will like the other.
So first off, I only started watching this and I'm already digging it. First of all they both have really great instrumental soundtracks like the ones in yona of the dawn. Secondly, They are taking a journey to save something or find something. Yona is on her journey to gather people to help her reclaim the throne and save Hak from dying in the future and Taejiro is setting out to find a way to turn her demon sister back into a human, along the way gathering people. There is also a character from both who wears a mask, but not like Shin-ah's. I don't think It has romance but I still think that if you enjoyed this, you should give it a go.read more
Bai Xiaochun is a great mix between Tanjiro and Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. Bai Xiaochun is motivated to improve like Tanjiro, but has an insane fear of death like Zenitsu.
- both mc's fight demons for the sake of humanity
- both mc's have siblings
- both have organizations that specializes in killing demons
- horror themed
- both have a main villain that uses demons for their own benefit
The main characters of those 2 respective series wanted to get revenge on the character that killed their parents. They are violent and gory with awesome fight scenes! If you liked the awesome action and fight scenes of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, then you'll like Kill la Kill!
They both have a main character who thinks that all their enemies are not evil and try to be friends with them
In demon slayer it’s tanjiro who protects nezuko in spite of being a demon and comes on good terms with more demons
In date a live it is shidou who thinks that the spirits are not bad and tries to make them fall in love with him so he can save them
I felt a similarity between Shikabane Hime and Kimetsu no Yaiba because of this:
- They both have supernatural beings; KNY has Demons and Shikabane Hime has Corpses.
- They both have an overpowered antagonist organized group; Kimetsu no Yaiba has the Twelve Demon Moons and Shikabane Hime has the Shichisei.
- both mc's fight demons for the sake of humanity
- both mc's hate demons but then later realize that most demons used to be good people
- both have organizations that specializes in killing demons
- horror themed
- both have a main villain that uses demons for their own benefit
Both series takes place in a fantasy world which demons eat humans and both main characters similiarly want to get rid of demons for their friends and family
both say they have the samurai as the main figure, but unfortunately "kimetsu" fails on several points, if you want to see an anime that is really about samurai, take a look at "the samurai"
Both anime have similar styles in animation. The story is quite matching about the MC revenging for his family. In Jouran, they are fighting Nues, while in demon slayer is on the more comedy side.
Both are stories about young teens searching to kill/stop a deadly murderer that hides himself in society and makes himself look like a normal human, with a normal life, wife and kids, while actually comitting murders while no one is seeing
both YYH and DS is about a guy who works hard to grow strong and both these guys fight demons...and both of them work for organizations that fight demons for yusuke it's the spirit world with the job title of spirit detective where as for Tanjiro its the demon slayer corps with a straight forward job title which lives up to the series name demon slayer.
Ufotable produced shows adapting different formats (TOS for video game and KnY for manga) revolve around the sword wielding male protagonist whose goal is to save the female lead who he cherishes dearly by venturing on a quest very dangerous enough to stand in their way through countless monsters and warriors.
The two must be able to overcome them sheer enough with strong companions whom they make friends and allies along the way.
The two series were known to be stellar enough to get an anime adaptation long before they got popular as an adapted shows capable enough to garner attention from fans alike who grew up with the series.read more
Both are shows considered hits during their time featuring a male protagonist whose family was killed that led them on a quest to save the world from those responsible but at the same time must protect their younger sister who was inflicted at the start of the story under a special condition.
Though different, they still take place in Japan with elements traced back to old history where life was harsh due to constant war, struggles, poverty, economy, politics, etc.
Both are supernatural action anime following an older brother dedicated to protecting their adorable little sister. In both cases, the siblings have a one year age gap between them. However, while Nezuko and Miyuki have more-or-less the same personality (minus the brother complex in Nezuko's case), Tanjiro and Tatsuya are almost completely different, with Tatsuya being much colder, more cynical and ruthless than Tanjiro.
They also have several of the same voice actors (Inosuke and Masaki are voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Mitsuri and Mayumi are voiced by Kana Hanazawa, Shinobu and Miyuki are voiced by Saori Hayami, Sanemi and Katsuto are voiced by Kaiji Tang, Akaza and Zhou are voiced by Lucien Dodge, Enmu and Mikihiko are voiced by Landon McDonald, Kaigaku and Tatsuya are voiced by Alejandro Saab etc.).
Basically, if you're one of those people who were put off by some of the controversial elements of "The Irregular at Magic High School", then "Demon Slayer" should make for an adequate substitute.read more
-Both have demons/kegares
-Both have two protagonists who have lost their family
-Both want to eradicate demons/kegares
-The female protagonist also has demon/kegares powers
-In both people become demons/kegares
-Both have 12 pillars or heavenly guardians
-Both have 12 demonic moons or basaras
-The manga is starring a boy and a girl
Both stories are centered around organizations with the purpose of hunting down monsters and human hybrids alike.
Though not superficially identical, the female leads Seras and Nezuko were once human but turned into half human and monster hybrid accompanying the main protagonist of the series.
Each have their own respective high caliber animation, soundtrack, writing, and character development in their own eras that live up to today's reputation amongst the majority of the anime community.
• Naive main character, living in his own perfect world, trying to be a decent human being.
• Both MC's go through traumatic incidents that changes their life.
•They both train to become stronger, better, smarter etc.
• Nagai has the intelligence, while Tanjiro has a sensitive nose.
• Both anime have fight between humanity and demi-humans.
Urokodaki and Satou have the same voice actor. Tosaki and Gyuu too.
Both have super natural entities in demons (Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer) & shinigami (death note). Both also have dark & gothic tones with high energy almost alternative OSTs. Both also have great characters , character designs & world building.
Reikenzan felt like a lower budget Demon Slayer, in a lot of ways. Its does well balancing lightheartedness with action, adventure, and comedy. Similarly, it has a strong focus on the main character training to become better as well as learning from masters. Also, the MC is OP as hell
The nocturnal/dark/woodish atmosphere is the same
Demons are similar to Horrors
Demon slayers are similar to Makai Kishi
Fights are done with swords in both show
There is, in both show, a confrontation between the good and the evil
Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) and Soul Eater share several similarities:
- shonen anime that focus on fun action;
- each characters has their unique style;
- a hunting demon organization.
I think that if you liked one you'll probably like the other.
Different:
-Demon slayer is more gory than soul eater
Both have action , fights , and fantasy and a very interesting story , although completely different from each other . One is darker than the other , where the MC trains hard to become strong and protect his remaining family while the other might seem a bit more chill , where the MC is OP but the MC has something to protect too . Either way I enjoyed both very much , both are , to me , very good anime
I personally didnt think it was the best anime, but it has some swordfights, people with certain powers, a weak mc that needs to be helped by a strong character. Also its only 12 episodes, so yeah, maybe you like it or not, but you always can try.
Both are shounen with a dark atmosphere at times (Nurarihyon is more light-hearted in the first season).
Both contain historical elements from Japan, although Nurarihyon's setting is modern Japan (for the second season, there is an important flash-back in Edo era rather than Taishou era for Kimetsu no Yaiba).
Both MC are fighting demons (youkai or ayakashi) who eat humans, but the MC is one quarter youkai himself (still far from Nezuko).
Both MC use a special katana to fight.
Both are Nekketsu shounen and both MC fight overpowered enemies (in season 2 mostly for Nurarihyon).
Both get stronger by training in a forest (season 2).
Both main antagonists are immortal and eat a lot of humans.read more
Hype. Really and truly, there's nothing really similar with these two other than hype. Demon Slayer is not *entirely* hype but it still manages to draw in a large audience due to that main factor. The same is true for SL.
When the times come, both Demon Slayer and SL are unstoppable hype machines.
Mushishi and Demon Slayer have a very similar aesthetic and historical feel- however Mushishi is much more laid back, and less violent to be sure. I would definitely give Mushishi a try if you're just recently getting into anime, and Demon Slayer has your interest. Conversely, if you're a fan of Mushshi,you will appreciate the historical feel of Demon Slayer, and be entranced by the traditional music, representation of culture, and mysterious characters. Both shows shouldn't be passed up if you like a more mature, serious tone in your anime.
Both not only extremely well animated short shonens but also go beyond that, having their own "flair". Solid soundtrack, plenty of sakuga and chill inducing moments, solid protagonists and character growth.
both have "enemy of the week" as standard format, wich are kind of seemingless but contribute to develop main cast skills.
both have this kind of "mistery" trying to figure out how does the bad guy skill works and then start the counterattack of the mc
And overall both hace very weirdly likable characters
like kenichi the mightiest disciple, demon slayer is about a humble boy Tanjiro/Kenichi who trains and gets strong..fights to protect/save someone dear to him...one being a crush (Kenichi's best friend of the opposite sex Miu) while the other being a family member (tanjiro's sister Nezuko)....and there are battles one being a street fight with badasses while the other is supernatural melee fights against demons .. the training both MCs go through are in very homie environments and in humble lookin abodes...eventually both MCs find themselves gathering in an organization one being the demon slayers corp and the other being ryozanpaku..also tanjiro and kenichi both have similar hairstylesread more
Both have a dark, cruel and bloody atmosphere. Characters with sad pasts, although in shiki the tension and mystery are constant, in KnY sometimes there is a break. A good show can offer you these 2 series.
Really well animated fight scenes with swords. That's the one thing that got me to watch SAO, considering how great they were, so I ended up really enjoying Kimetsu no Yaiba as well.
Oh and both the first OP in SAO and Kimetsu no Yaiba are done by LiSA. That's stuff's the shit.
Both offer astonishing animation, mediocre plot and lots of fun. Although Demon Slayer is a little bit more edgy than God of High School, i still think that if you liked one you'll probably have much fun watching the other
