What is death? What is friendship? Both series explore these themes in different ways, but in ways which touch the target audience. The audience is also likely to fall in love with the characters of either series, making for a rather nice slice-of-life watch with a supernatural twist.
Both have as main a silver haired girl that has a goal to fulfill. Both animes talk about death, life and reincarnation. Both are about a group of friends that go through many situations but in the end show us that true friendship is a wonderful thing. Both will make you teary.
The anime themselves aren't that similar, but if you really liked the theme of one of them, you might want to check out the other. In AnoHana, a group of friends try and figure out a way to bring their dead friend Menma to heaven, while in Angel Beats, a group of friends that are already dead try and figure out how to get into heaven. Other than these similarities, they're pretty different. AnoHana is a lot more mature and serious, while Angel Beats is more light-hearted and comedic, with some serious moments.
If you enjoyed Ano Hana, Angel Beats is definitely a must-watch, and vice versa.
Both are very similar is a lot of aspects, to start with they both include the presence of ghosts or a life continuing after death, and the struggle of passing onto the next state of living, whatever that may be.
While Angel Beats appears to have a comedic start, unlike Ano Hana, which seems to have a mellow yet serious start, they're both equally gripping and progress into a beautiful storyline. Both Anime deal with friendships and romances in the same somewhat tragic way, as well as the difficultly of accepting one's or anthers' death.
Both Anime feature simply beautiful, melodic OPs and EDs which play into the show just perfectly, and feature very up to date animation though their art styles differ.
Both are short Anime, being 11 and 13 episodes.
All in all, Ano Hana and Angel beats are both beautiful, gripping Anime that are bound to have you shedding tears by the end. read more
Anohana and Angel beats are both really dramatic series that revolve around learning to accept death as a part of life and the process of moving on. They feature deeply developed characters, breathtaking animation and a unique and meaningful touching story that will make the viewer experience all kinds of emotions. In both anime, the deceased characters are being held back by some sort of wish or unfulfillment that has yet to be addressed. If you enjoyed watching one of them then you should definitely check out the other.
Both of these series are just amazing and sweet. While Angel Beats has more of it both series have their comic relief moments and they're sad moments. They both also have a main theme about staying together as friends no matter what you go through. Both endings are also similar in that while you've been seeing all of the comedy and drama then endings to both series are bittersweet. You know what happens in the endings NEEDS to happen but part of you just doesn't want it to. Angel Beats and Ano Hana are both just completely beautiful.
Both deal with the concept of life after death and the pain of losing someone important. If you liked the melodrama in Angel Beats, you will love the mood in Anohana.
Both shows have their romantic and sad moments, and both involve having wishes granted as a means to pass on into the afterlife. Ano Hi Mita has a smaller cast of characters and is less "cute" than Angel Beats!, but it is most definitely worth a watch if you like touching endings.
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai (ou AnoHana) conta a história de um grupo de amigos de infância que se separaram após a morte de uma amiga em comum. Anos depois, o espírito dessa amiga retorna para assombrar um dos membros do grupo, levando-os a se reunir novamente para realizar o desejo não cumprido da falecida. Assim como Angel Beats!, AnoHana é uma história emocional sobre amizade, arrependimento e reconciliação.
Both involving around death and the reason why their spirit is still around. Trying to solve what they regretted during their lifetime and fixing that problem.
Emotional tear-jerker drama of high quality. These shows offer unique perspectives on the concept of reincarnation. Both of their share of touching moments, accompanied by great music.
Purgatory is a poor word for describing the place between heaven and hell since we strictly limit the definition of good or bad to our limited vocabulary perception. Ano Hi Mita Hana is the epitome of a continuation for Angel Beats. For those who are familiar with Angel Beats, Ano Hi Mita Hana embraces the same concept of leaving a place instead for a better place; it embraces the same emptiness; it embraces the same welling of tears moment at the extraordinary climatic end; it embraces the same aloofness between the two protagonist that are the most important in our eyes. Finally, don't discriminate against Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai for its long name. A certain person committed the mistake. It was his biggest mistake this year. If you cried watching Angel Beats, this is definitely the anime for you.read more
They both have a person, (in our Angel Beats case, it has many people) who can't go to heaven until they fullfile their "mission", "wish", or "promise" they had as human beings before they die.
both stories have to do with life and death.. both have a sad characters history.. both have a love triangle.. and both have some funny scenes and some depressing scenes.. :'(
Emotions, death, and a unique dramatic story, the characters have a difficult time accepting it, but had a hard time letting it go. When a person dies, it will be quite difficult for the characters to just move on. There are several powerful scenes that is too tear-jerking, you might want to prepare your tissues.
The difference is that Angel Beats is a much more comedic but some drama scenes, action scenes, music, and takes place in a "Dead World." Anohana takes place in a normal world, mature and serious tones of the characters, and childhood friendship.
Many people say that Angel Beats is an anime that makes you cry and that is kind of true. If you liked it then Anohana will have a bigger effect on you because it's lighter and even easier to relate to. But don't go into it with a brick as a heart or you'll be dissappointed
The melodramatic short tale of a girl who unwillingly died, and her friends who helped her move on to her next life. Slightly overdone, but sad nonetheless.
One is moe, and the other is comedy-drama.
Similar to Angel Beats! It was a bittersweet anime. The emotional depth to this anime is really deep. You'd have all sorts of feelings, feelings that no words can describe. The story line to this anime was perfect! I was emotionally attached to all the characters (I felt as if they really existed in my life and my heart) and knowing that I was almost finished with the anime made me feel a little sad and achy inside. I definitely enjoyed this anime and it was definitely a heartfelt one! If you enjoyed Angel Beats!, you'd definitely enjoy AnoHana!
They both follow the stories of people in the afterlife,
even though anno hanna does it in a real life setting,
both are guarenteed to make you cry (if you have a heart)
Though the series have some differences on the surface, mainly being that AnoHana is a serious story whilst Angel Beats is a little more on the comedy side but aside that they are quite alike at core.
Both series focus on grief and afterlife, Angel Beats as said has some comedy on side with it but is still serious when it comes down to it and focus on the loss of others (or their own life in AB case). The series focus on the loss of them around us and have a strong connection of death and how effects people around you as well as both express the sad parting of life.

they both kinda disappear and they both made me cry and both animes were just master pieces of art of reality. makes me wanna kill myself to see if I join the anime world next jk. loved these 2
Tragedy happens unexpectedly. You can't change the past, but what if you could have a second chance to make peace with yourself and your friends? Both series are about finding closure to tragic accidents with the help of your friends. If you enjoy these themes from one of them, you will definitely enjoy the other.
The varying atmosphere is shared in both. Funny at times, bitter at others and ends with closure.
Both have character(s) who must move on to their next life. In Anohana, a girl who doesn't know what must be done to move on and in Angel Beats, a team fighting so that they don't have to move on.
Has the same genre drama that will definitely make your tears fall, mixed with gags that will at the same time make you laugh and also romance. Its difference is that in angel beats all of the characters are dead having difficulty in passing on but while in AnoHana only one of them are dead and what makes it dramatic is that she's one of the most important friend of the group who died in a tragic accident. Both of the anime are beautiful and you're totally gonna love it!
Both of these anime have the afterlife mentioned, although AnoHana is not set there and only one character is dead. Both have sad yet happy endings and they both have the're funny moments
Although Angel Beats! includes action while AnoHana does not, both romance plots involve the characters falling in love despite the rough circumstances they're in.
- Both are group of friends which somehow need to find answers and peace with himself.
- Each character has a story that will be discovered little by little and has a strong relationship with the main plot.
- As both animes progress we feel more involved with everything that happens.
- Both are animes that in simple words could, according to your taste, leave a mark on you.
Both shows have the same concept of allowing the dead to cross over to the next life. Sad moments, and excellent story telling for a heart-warming story overall.
Ghosts of the past that haunt the present. Both are series about death and life by retrospection. Both show the value of true friendship and cause "feels"
Both are very emotional stories with endearing characters. The style are very similar in some aspects... very homelike (or something like that). The background story of the protagonists have some shocking moments.
If you like to cry, these series are for you.
Both have heavy amounts of feels and emotion. Both share themes of death and depression whilst also teaching moral lessons, like letting go of something you love and cherishing the time you have on earth.
Both stories are somewhat related to the characters' past and the plot revolves around them clearing their mind up regarding what they've done etc.
Also both apparently make people cry, don't really know why
Angel Beats and Anohana are both very well done drama animes that are based around life after death and reincarnation. Both are very heart-warming and heart-wrenching animes that will make you cry. (Hopefully). Though these are both drama animes, there is some comedy sprinkled around both which makes you feel more involved with the characters and the story.
If you liked Angel Beats, you will love Anohana.
Both revolve around the ideas behind death.
The MC and his friends progress as they have to overcome an obstacle that brings pain to their life.
Both are terribly powerful tearkers that will make you cry.
The overarching theme in both series is very similar. The shows have characters who are already dead and have had regrets during their lives. If you enjoy watching drama series that have characters with touching backstories, you'll probably like both shows.
To say quickly, Anohana and Angel Beats are both amazing and sad animes. If you're searching for a feel trip, there you have it !!
Both of them have really sentimental endings and the story is beautiful.
Angel Beats has more humour though, it's a really great choice.
Do you feel like you want to cry over an anime again but you have already watched Angel Beats for the nth time? Good thing for you (well, if you really enjoy crying), Ano Hi Mita is just as dramatic and tearful as Angel Beats can get. Ano Hi Mita shares the story of children whose friendship is strongly tied even after death. The story plays out as a group of teenagers find disclosure to a friend they have lost. They endeavor to make it so that she may finally rest in peace, even if it is too hard for them to accept. Ani Hi Mita does not contain as much action and a bit of comedy as Angel beats but why are they similar? Well, because they both make us realize that the value of life isn't about the amount of time we have. but the quality in which we live them.read more
Both shows overflow with emotion and are almost guaranteed to make you cry by the end. But, ten minutes later, you may wonder why you were crying in the first place. Maybe its better not to read into it too much.
Whilst I personally prefer Anohana to Angel Beats, they are pretty similar in some aspects. The first and most obvious thing is that both shows are centred around the theme of coping with death. Anohana is about coping with the death of someone close to you, Angel Beats is about coping with your own death.
Other similarities include:
❀ A unique set of characters of whom you'll remember.
❀ Tear-inducing endings
❀ Bits of romance but not the centre of the shows.
My tears are overflowing from my eyes, as my heart was ripped in sadness. Both animes are good in their unique ways. Just the ending makes you cry a lot. Prepare some tissue before watching.
After Life will be the keyword for both the anime. Because both anime have a main character that have died and didn't want to reincarnate so they hanging around in the world to found what they want. But the difference is in Anohana the girl still hanging around in the real world meanwhile Angel Beats tells the story in a different or special world.
AnoHana and Angel Beats! May be taking part in different wolrds, but, the atmosphere and the character development, it's honestly kind of the same. The enviroment and landscapes are both really gorgeous and fascinating. The characters are different but also the same in their own unique way. The music effects are really sensitive and always stick to the right parts of the story. As for the story element, obviously it's not the same with one another, but they have their way of being, humorous, touching and life-view changing. To cut a long story short, if you liked Angel Beats! Then, for sure, you'll adore AnoHana~
Both Angel Beats and Aohana are about young people getting over death. In Angel Beats it's their own deaths they need to get over, and in Aohana it's the death of their friend Meiko (nicknamed Menma). In both series the characters have some major emotional turmoil to get though, and in both series the characters connect though a club with a "secret base."
-Relationship between the male and female protagonist
-Got a good music choice for a climax scene
-Drama/Romance/Slice of life
-Development inside a group of friend
-Both got a unique situation which creates a supernatural event
-Cry? ( yes if this is your first time with this genre)
The plots themselves aren't actually that similar but they both share the same themes of death, afterlife and romance all whilst showing the struggle of learning to accept death itself, and the death of others. Other than these main similarities, the shows are quite different. Angel Beats being more light-hearted with less tragic scenes, while AnoHana is so much more serious and pretty much every episode feels like a sob fest..
The genre's are not maybe the same but both anime's have the common theme; Afterlife. If you have enjoyed one of these you probaly would like the other one. Both have also comedy. But make sure you got tissues at the end, really tearjerkers
Death is not the end of the road, at least not for everyone.
Both series deals with how hard is to move on, some people can't and some just don't want to.
The series bring the supernatural element in a kind of "realistic" way without spookyness or something like that.
Both written by the famous Maeda Jun and have the same amazing production behind his works.
Both however could be better if longer, but are still good given their short allotted time slot.
Both will make you smile, laugh, and cry as are typical Maeda Jun's works
Aside from the opening sung by Lia, the animation by P.A.Works, the original concept by Key, the character design by Na-Ga, the soundtrack by ANANT-GARDE EYES, the director being Jun Maeda, the similar humor, the special abilities premise, and unusual-yet-not-unusual school setting-- I could go on-- Charlotte purely -feels- like Angel Beats! and vice versa, if that's any indication. Both are great to watch.
Characters have supernatural power and they attend special schools where students have supernatural powers. Both main girls characters have silver hair.
charlotte is basically a rip-off of angel beats except its not in heaven
In charlotte and angel beats both there is (1) a spontaneous and charismatic main girl (2) a glasses guy who serves as the comic relief (3) a clueless main character in the beginning only in charlotte he's more lelouch-esque (4) a lead singer in a girls' band
Same original creator. Also characters' designs were made by the same person, the art style is practically identical. The music was composed by the same creators. The op & ed are performed by the same singers - Lia and Tada Aoi.
Both are about a group od teenagers who have something in common. The action takes place at school, and the MC is a new student.
Charlotte and Angel Beats share the same sense of humor. Also, Charlotte will most likely introduce a fictional singer/band similiar to GirlDeMo in Angel Beats! (Marina, the voice of Iwasawa from Angel Beats! performing an inserted song).
Both are by P.A. Works and Key
Both have a main girl with white hair
Both take place at a school and have supernatural elements
Jun Maeda is the original creator for both
Both have a theme song by Lia and an ending by Aoi Tada
Mosty slice-of-life with a bit of supernatural thrown in, a good amount of comedy, and an action focused last half. While the backgrounds for the main characters may not be addressed during the first few episodes, there's actually a full episode dedicated to establishing Yu and Otonashi later on in their respective anime. Schools are the main settings for these stories, with a group of teenagers being the main focus. While Otonashi and Yu aren't similar at all in terms of initial personality, they have decent development throughout it that can feel about the same in terms of execution, and this is usually right after the episode that details their backstory/background. The endings can also be considered bittersweet.read more
Anime series set in a school with a similar boy and girl MC. Alot of sad pasts and hints for more sadness to come. They both really give out the same vibe with a group who do fun and sad stuff, whatever it is but they'll do it together. They to tend to go out of focus though.
Charlotte and Angel Beats! are very similar to each other. Once you have watched one of them, you need to watch the other. Tomori and Nakaruma both share their leadership roles. Nakamura is the leader of the SSS and Tomori is the leader of the school council. Otanashi and Otosaka are naive, innocent characters, who are at first clueless of what they are doing, and pulled and dragged along by their fellow girl leaders. Memory loss... Retrograde amnesia, is what both Otanashi and Otosaka have. They overcome this by encountering certain things that trigger their memory to remembering the past which they have forgotten. It works for a sense of buildup and suspense. read more
Both Charlotte, and Angel Beats give off the same feel. The character designs are also pretty similar. Also Charlotte starts out light and funny, (although Angel Beats was funnier) just like Angel Beats did, but then gets more sad and darker.
They have a lot in common! Both manga series are made by the same artist Komowata Haruka, Charlotte's director and Charlotte's sound director worked on Angel Beats! Finally in history, the character will also attend a special school where students have supernatural powers.
Same writer for both shows. Students at a weird school with supernatural powers. The characters, art, and writing are all pretty similar which is to be expected since the same guy wrote them. Good mixture of comedy and feels for both.
Both shows are directed by the same director, so a lot of the influences of Angel Beats transfer over into Charlotte. They have similar humor and the premise of a school with ability users. They honestly just give off the same feel when I watched them. These are honestly both great shows to consider watching!
I don't know why but this Anime just came into mind immediately. School setting. A lot of sad background stories. Student council. Special powers. Both Anime give you the same kind of feel but I'd say Angel Beats goes way deeper in the feel section.
Charlotte and Angel Beats, both animes have a protagonist who joins a group charged with combating a conspiracy (AB is God and in Charlotte are the experiments). Where the leader is manipulative, one believes himself an idol and another is the senpai. Both series involve the fact that the characters acquire a supernatural aspect, be it powers (Charlotte) or be dead (Angel Beats). The series shows the multiple plans to fulfill its mission, where the majority happens in a comic way, to the point that the series does not need to be fun and shows a different background to show the dark past of the protagonist, and a radical change, when the enjoy being with your friends becomes the fear of losing them.read more
There are similar references and situations in both, and they generally have the same "feel" to it. They both have great music, which plays an important part to the plot at some parts. But although both of them have comedic moments and sometimes lowkey ridiculous gags, Charlotte is definitely more serious and maybe even a little bit "dark" towards the ends.
Charlotte is made by the same people who gave us Angel Beats!
Both use similar vivid animation styles and just give off the same general feel you'll get while watching the other. It's hard to explain, but lets say despite the rather different stories, Charlotte is more or less a carbon copy of Angel Beats! with a new plot and new characters.
Both have sad backgrounds, characters are quite similar, the art is somewhat alike, there is great drama, both the main characters have white/silver hair, and there are super powers in both. If you like super powers and drama, you might like Charlotte.
Bedsides just the fact that both series have been written by the same person, designed and animated by the same producers, what makes these series so similar?
First of all, they're both Great comedy series with deep substance. Both got just the right amount of humor that anyone is sure to enjoy.
And besides that, they're of the most exciting series ever. Both of some fast pacing and only you're in, it's like a rollercoaster. You can't stop watching once you start. There's many reference to AB! in Charlotte too.
While they're different in the theme and mood, they've got some deep hidden themes. While Angel Beats! focuses on the meaningfulness of life , Charlotte's hidden massage lies in the power of courage. If you can understand those, they're sure to become your most favorite series ever.
What else do they share in common:
-Great and likeable characters
-Life struggles
-Meaningful songs and in-anime bands
-Great visuals and OST
-Fish Saito and Sky-High Saito!read more
The writing style of these two are very similar, mixing in good comedic moments, decent action, and slife of life genericisms,with dark elements that while dont perfectly blend; still compliment eachother. Add in a decent amuont of emotional tension from the previous episodes and all youre mising is a romantic subplot.
They have a similar feel to it.
Angel Beats starts off sort of silly but with a paranormal twist to it. Even thought it sounds like it could get serious, it mostly tries to keep a focus on the comedy side. Still it gets dark and sad at times, but it tries to balance them out.
Charlotte also has a similar start. There are mostly jokes and fun times at the start, but things get more serious as the story progresses. The difference is that once the seriousness starts, there aren't many comedic moments afterwards.
Still, both series are quiet entertaining to watch with their mix of supernatural and daily lifestyle combined. If you liked Angel Beats there is a chance you might like Charlotte and vice versa. read more
Both has same produders. Animation, characters and climate are very similar by entire time of watching. Humorous when can and serious when must that's how those animes are.
Made by same people, and both have a similar idea (school/supernatural/romance).
Both Charlotte and Angel Beats! are great anime, each in their own right. For Angel Beats!, I recommend giving it at least 3 episodes before deciding whether to continue or drop it.
I found Charlotte and Angel Beats! to be extremely similar. They're both original works by Jun Maeda, and are both by the studio PA Works, so it's no wonder why they turned out like that.
Everything except the premises, the basic plot lines, of these two shows are practically identical. Art, animation, characters, comedy, pacing, aesthetic, music, supernatural elements... going back to the characters, I'm pretty sure Charlotte's cast is basically a bunch of carbon copies of Angel Beats! characters minus a few people.
Now, personally I hated both of these shows, so if you dislike one, you more than likely are going to dislike the other as well.
But if you like one, then you'll probably like the other as well. Probably. Although I'd say Charlotte's giant gaping plot holes and inconsistencies are less noticeable than Angel Beats!'s.
Throughout my time watching Angel Beats!, I could not stop comparing it to Charlotte. They're too alike!read more
Both shows have a similar artstyle and (personally) I find them very pretty. The story is deep in both cases, and you just want to watch more of it. Also, both anime have a "good" ending, as you don't mind the story finishing there. Lastly, these two series have many different characters, and a love story which isn't ecchi or harem (FINALLY!).
These both are very good animes that will make u cry to death.Like angel beats this has:
saddness
a good story
a good ending
and is super Awesome
i loved this soo much and idk how but i thought of angel beats every time i watched a episode
The series are similar dramas from the same creators. They both have characters with special abilities in them and both the protagonists join a group in a school and do missions for them. If you like the type of emotional storytelling Key Studios is known for, you should enjoy both the series.
Both are produced by P.A. Works and Maeda Jun. Second, Charlotte is littered with Angel Beats references, and I mean littered. Also, you will board the feels train, cuz this is Maeda Jun we are talking about. An excellent portrayal and Maeda's second chance at a fantastic creation
it's made by the same author and studio
~both story lines are identical if i may say..
~both have similar great art and character, and both are a school, drama and Superpowers shows, almost the same at everything.
~both are 13 episode long, short and easy to watch.
~both will leave you crying at the end of it....
Time for pointing the similarities between these two shows.
Both Charlotte and Angel Beats:
- Were written by Jun Maeda.
- Are from the same studio, P.A. Works.
- Have School setting.
- Know how to explore the relationship between it characters.
- Are short anime. (13 episodes long)
- Have funny and sad moments.
1. Same staff that worked on Angel Beats.
2. Similar characters
3. Nice animation and soundtrack
4. FEELS
Both anime's are so alike that people even theorize that maybe the two animes are connected somehow. Enjoy!
Both written by Maeda Jun.
Both have beautiful soundtracks.
Are both set in high school and have a similar set of characters.
Both have some nice drama, music, comedy & romance.
From the same studio, and a story just as beautiful. This is an example of how two different stories look a like so much. You can also find the personalities of all Charlotte characters back in Angel Beats (reincarnations?).
They're written by the same writers, the female protagonist looks exactly like Angel, protagonist has a sappy back story, high school setting, music inserted via a pop idol + pop rock band, tsundere protagonist who's bossy, leader of the group, misunderstood and hence disliked by others, lonely.... does this sound like anybody else? Yeah, she's a mish-mash of Yuki and Angel.
Loads of other similarities too, including how the series jumps from comedy to drama to loads of other things I can't mention because I don't want to spoil the series.
so watching these, you might not catch it at first but the animes have the same atmosphere. A group of kids trying to make it by while still having that kind of sad feel to it, it's made by the same person so that's also probably why it has the same feel. But do check it out if you havent already. The anime is great, also has a nice story to it
I'm not telling you that both theses shows are the same because the opening has the same animation quality, the opening music brings the same feelings, the set-up is the same, the character set-up is the same, the cruel world in which they live in is cruel, the characters have tragic pasts, the characters from both shows have a lot in common, the art style is the same and the plot twists brings the same feelings
but yeah, I'm telling you that both these shows are the same.
I did not like both of these anime due to how messy their stories were, but if you like to watch stuff that might as well make you cry, smile, and laugh, then check both of them out. They were made by the same writer, Maeda Jun.
You like music? Good.
Angel beats is about a load of young people who were killed. For some reason they were tormented, and forced to live forever in a high school. In this, they set themselves a target for the biggest bullies who ever died. Bullying this young girl who doesn't communicate well with others, they force her to develop new ways to manipulate her body for defense.
In the anime, these stubborn children refuse to come to terms with their deaths and move on. It isn't until very late in the anime when they are forced to give up immortality that they actually move on. Up till that point, you are allowed to enjoy some of the most heart warming scenes ever put into an anime, as well as one of the best soundtracks.
Charlotte tells of a boy with powers who meets other adolescents with powers. In the end it resorts to time travel. These kids, with fantastic abilities, are hunted down and tested on like lab rats for being special. As a result, the main character and pals try to save the others.
The anime has a lot of good music in it, and has a few episodes that focus a lot on the band that you'll probably forget the name of after watching Angel Beats. Z something or the other.... Anyway the lead singer is blind. The anime uses impairments a fair bit as a way of getting you to feel for a characters situation. One of the side characters is mentally unstable, and only Z's music can calm him down. The power of music!
So if you like music with a side story of action, then these two anime are well worth watching.read more
Both shows are made by the same studio and have a similar art style. Both shows focus on emotions and have supernatural stuff in it. The way the shows were executed reminds me a lot of each other.
Impacted with the idea of supernaturalism, both are original stories written by Jun Maeda with similarities alike to one another. While they started off as lighthearted comedies with a tinge of silliness, the group of teenagers will have to face emotional turmoils leading up to drama, action, and subtle romance. Backed by a beautiful quality in audiovisual, these two are the manifestation of a touching tale.
These two anime have the same atmosphere, I would say. They both involve a male main protagonist who is thrown into a new situation he is mostly unfamiliar with, and forms bonds with the other characters. Both of these anime teach important lessons about what to value in life.
It also is one of the reasons why I'm an organ donor ;)
Both series are created by the fabulous Jun Maeda, are adapted from Key visual novels, supernatural and school setting, features a main character with silver hair (Angel & Nao), and the series opening and ending were sung by Lia and Aoi Tada, respectively.
Both are produced from the same creator and studio. The comedy and the themes are really similar and enjoyable if you like one of them. However, both had the same flaws, consisting of rushed pacing near the end.
Many of the creators and staff behind Angel Beats went on to create Charlotte, so there are many similarities—some of the same character archetypes (Takajou is literally Takamatsu in terms of appearance and same voice actor); a supernatural anime that primarily takes place at a school and kinda has slice-of-life-ish episodes; a group of students at said school being lead by a girl with a serious attitude; an interesting blend of comedy, drama, and action; music, etc... honestly I could go on, if you've seen one of these, go ahead and try the other.
Angel beats and charlotte have the same structure: the first half of the show is comedy based and the second one is drama based. I found Charlotte much more clearer to follow and better in general terms. It had a stronger impact on me than Angel Beats
Another creation of Maeda Jun sensei which can make anyone cry like a baby. A plot and the stroy of evry individual characters is well established and nicely placed. The whole anime is heart warming with amazing soundtracks and the ending has a different feel to it.
Class of the preternatural. Angel Beats and Charlotte follow abnormal schools in which the MCs all spend time together as well as helping one another out during these times.
With AB, uninformed Otonashi is teleported into a school located in the Afterlife. With Charlotte, Yuu is sent to Hoshinoumi Academy, an academy with teenagers having special powers. Both anime present Otonashi's and Yuu's time with their allocated groups learning about different people's values in life.
Both are pleasing heartwarming comedic anime with a side of supernatural elements and drama by the same creator Jun Maeda.
These anime both have similar comedy, as much as drama.
Both of them also includes action.
Just like the series some of the characters in both series have some kind of super natural abilities.
They're both written by 'Jun Maeda' (麻枝 准)
Similar slice of life and emotional, with powers being a focus for one and a side effect for another, both portray a good story line sensible to one who watched either animes.
I was surprised by the fact that in this anime, they went to a kissaten (store) and in this kissaten (store) you can see in the background that there's a poster of the anime angel beats, this is almost and advertisement saying that if you've watched this anime you most watch angel beats.
Both of these animes have really sad things and great musics/songs, graphics and everything else that you can imagine! This anime make you feel really connected with every character of the anime, this is the same for Angel Beats and Berserk for example, it's impossible not to cry!
And in the top of all, they also play an music that's from the anime angel beats"
If you've watched Angel Beats I know that you are eager and angry wishing and wanting and waiting for the next season, and this anime will make you feel the all these feelings, in the same way, for the exactly same reason!
This anime can and will make you feel sad!
Also like in Angel Beats, this anime has a focus, actually is a lot of focus in the making of another japanese band, totally original and unique like the band in the anime Angel Beats called Girls dead monster, but in this anime the band name zhiend, that is also really good, I'm not even sure if I can say that both bands are in the same level or not, I really need to stop everything to hear again the musics of the band zhiend to know it.read more
Angel Beats! and Charlotte come from the same creative team. Both follow a group of teenagers in a paranormal setting, Angel Beats being set in the Afterlife and Charlotte being set in a world where some teenagers gain superpowers upon entering puberty. They are similarly structured, being filled with comedy and wacky characters. If you loved Angel Beats, there's a high chance you'll like Charlotte.
Charlotte is drama-action anime that doesn't show it's full "power" at the beginning.
In the first ~8 episodes the anime is already good but the end is the insane and lovely part. It's the same at Angel Beats!, at the beginning they show you a normal good anime but then it totally changes and becomes totally interesting.
In general i think this anime is a must-watch, if you haven't watched it yet, do it!
Both have energetic leaders and lead a team which works to fulfill a particular goal.
Both have bands and though the leaders of these bands appear for a brief period of time, they play a vital role and have a greater impact later in the whole series
Leaders of the team in both anime have a sad past.
One of the main characters in both anime have a family member who are very influential in the character development, combined with their tragic past.
Similarities:
Both are written by Maeda Jun
Both mixed with emotions which can make you laugh, cry, or even be depressed
(lol I don't mean it)
Characters of both shows have supernatural powers where they attend special schools
Both Female MCs has the same colour hair
Both are original made by Jun Maeda. And they both have a sad ending. Although, Angel beats feels more sad feeling compared to Charlotte. Both are almost similar in terms of storyline, Starting from the Drama, the Heroine, the Mystery in it, Jun Maeda's good work.
Similarities:
1. They are produced by the same company P.A.Works and Aniplex
2. They both have male leads
3. Same genre
4. The opening is sung by the same singer Lia
Both are very emotional and have somewhat similar animation styles. The love interests of the main characters are also similar. While Angel Beats is much better, these 2 are alike.
These two gave me the same feels as I dig deeper into the episodes. At the end, I did cry but got me wondering the time I re-watch both on why I cried? LOL! but both are good for newbies, well that's my opinion. Not too heavy, not too shallow.
Both are fairly emotional anime, however Angel Beats tends to focus more on humor, while Clannad will tug at your heart strings and make you teary eyed.
Both stories have alternative worlds, clubs, some fighting in between but most importantly it focuse on emotions same way as Angel Beats. Almost each character has some kind of problems or regrets and is trying to overcome them. And we have a main character Tomoya who also tries to help his friends.
Both have similiar characters (kotomi-kanade (they are just the same!), yuri-kyou (they are strong), otonashi-okasaki (they're similiar in EVERYTHING), yui-mei (soooo funny), shiina-fuko (love cute things), hatsune-nagisa (sweet and sick), noda/hinata-sunohara (they are bastads). And both make the people cry!
Both made by Jun Maeda. Has some situations similar to each other(i.e. Tomoya and Nagisa helping Fuuko; Yazuru and Kanade helping Yui) and both managed to make me cry.
Angel Beats! and Clannad are anime that do a great job of being dramatic and emotional while still being very funny. Both of them also feature amazing, and kinda similar animation and character designs. While watching each series the viewer is drawn into the lives of the characters themselves that are trying to fight the imperfections that exist in each of their worlds and strive to overcome the obstacles standing in their paths. They find love as well as friendship and experience loads of dramatic moments that will leave you wanting for more in the end. If you liked watching one of them I highly recommend trying out the other.read more
Although the emotional train is not as strong as it is in Clannad, Angel Beats still manages to deliver a heart-warming and tear-jerking story as everything unfolds.
Other simpler similarities between the two are the fact that they are both made by Key, and that Lia has sung an intro for both of them (Although in Clannad's case, it's After Story's intro).
If you loved Clannad, then you'll surely grow to love, if not, like Angel Beats to an extent.
Keys Studios is the developer of both Clannad and Angel Beats. Clannad is well known and has a large fan base, but Angel Beats, being newer, is still on the rise. The story is great, surpassing Clannad in some aspects, and definitely deserves more attention. It is should easily make the top 30 anime list.
If you became emotionally involved in the Clannad storyline and enjoyed it, then you'll probably enjoy Angel Beats! as well. And vice versa. They're very similar in the respect that both have character development/interaction as a key selling point. Also, I should note that both are truly touching stories that will have you really feeling happy or sad for the characters. I definitely recommend both of these for any type of anime lover that hasn't seen either of them. :)
First off, both are works created by Key. Secondly, both series conveys emotions mixed in with comedy that has potential to bring viewers to tears. There are some confusing story plots that may seem confusing (the randomness of Angel Beats, the "illusion world of Clannad) but it all fits into a puzzle once you watch it. There are also romance (less so in Angel Beats) but overall, both of these series are something to look out for especially if you're a fan of Key's other works.
Both are school life anime that deal with the spiritual world in a hidden and deep concept. They both face endearing struggles that can tug at anyone's heart strings.
Também escrito por Jun Maeda, Clannad é uma história emotiva que segue a vida de Tomoya Okazaki, um estudante do ensino médio que encontra uma série de garotas com suas próprias histórias pessoais e problemas. Assim como Angel Beats!, Clannad aborda temas como amizade, família e superação de dificuldades. Prepare-se para uma montanha-russa emocional com momentos tanto de alegria quanto de tristeza.
Both anime involves a guy helpin out a chick with a club
although in Angel beats its a club of supposed dead people
both anime are quite-light hearted with a few serious moments
both are romance/dramas
Both these series are of my absolute favorites! Their story-lines are of tragedy, slice of life, romance and many hilarious moments. I think they are both so worthy to watch. They both consist of many genres which I love in anime- tragedy, slice of life, romance, supernatural and etc. Please check em both out they are very worth your time, HIGHLY recommend!
Same company (Key) behind Clannad, Kanon, and Air. Also shares a few elements with them such as the spiritual realism thing and of course sadness. Funny, addicting, and very sad anime.
Both of these series were made by Key, and both take place in a school setting. They both manage to have strong balances of drama and comedy, with some romance on the side. Both are very emotional and are likely to make you cry.
This story is originally wrote by the same guy . If you liked clannad you like this. The story is a little hard to get your head around at first but if you pull through the first couple episodes you will see the same comedy and ideals that were in clannad in angel beats! The story will touch you just as clannad did and even make you think about your own life.
When you start watching it, it gives you the same vibe that you cannot explain till the end of each anime. Boy meets girl and try to help them in any way they can. They both have a similar ending, but in Clannad, its in the second season.
They both have a lesson/meaning in their story,also they are from the visual novel brand Key, who produced such titles as Kanon and Air which created their Anime/Manga.
Both are really Emotional and Funny
both English Dub and English Sub are Great in both Clannad and Angel Beats
Both anime were made by Key and have an amazing storyline with awesome soundtracks. Both have very moving endings and are enough to bring tears to one's eyes. Clannad's first season is more character development and the second season is the emotional heart-wrenching season, as opposed to Angel beats which has a smaller time gap for character development. Both anime start of funny and then get serious. If you like one, you'll most likely like the other!
Now, Clannad really gave me a hard emotional attack. And since I was a little younger back then, the impact on me was absolute. The ending really made up for all the downs in the story, plus the other two arcs which I really enjoyed.
On the other hand, Angel Beats, having new and different types of emotional approach while still maintaining a good sense of originality, exists. The way its story goes indifferently gives quite a shock.
Both have great drama as well as comedy. Good balance, plot, character settings, originality, and impression.
Both are by the same author. Both contain a slew of likable characters in a school setting ("school" for Angel Beats), and both will tug at your heartstrings until you're crying the river nile.
Not only are they both created by the same visual arts company, but they both share the common themes of life, death, loss, and pressing on. Angel Beats is beautifully animated with engaging characters and a heartwarming story. Give it a watch.
If you're looking for another heart-warming anime, than Angel Beats is the one for you! It's just as tragic as Clannad, with a fair share of romance as well. With only 13 episodes, it won't take away that much time from you-- and definitely deserves a chance! It's short, sweet, and one of my favorites.
both anime rip apart your hearts from a overload of emotions as the main characters enjoy their daily lives with some twists and sad moments in between.
Both anime have good stories
Both have great characters and character back stories
Both are really fun and also sad
Both are amazing and they will touch your heart
The first season is a bit low running just to explain the story and everything, but can still make you fall in love with the series like you do the second you lose the first character you become attached to in angel beats. I would recommend this because of how upsetting it eventually gets but if you push through you may get something out of it you don't with angel beats!.
Angel Beats & Clannad both have superb character development, so much so that the viewer becomes emotionally tied to the characters in the animes. Both anime are on the romantic side, however Angel Beats has a lot of action that would satisfy the thrill seekers while Clannad is more on the real life struggles side. However, both have unique love stories that will leave you in tears by the end.
Clannad and Angel Beats will take you on an emotional roller-coaster, although I would say that Clannad is the more emotional in the long run. These wonderful works possess similar characteristic of:
-School based life (for the most part of Clannad)
-Struggles characters face throughout the story (the average KEY formula as it were)
-Very "happy go lucky" atmosphere
Angel Beats! was my opening anime and I can assure you that nothing could replace it as my favorite anime, not even a Clannad masterpiece. But with its capturing drama, fantastic action, hilarious comedy, and wonderful characters, it should be more than enough to fill in that hole that Angel Beats! made. Clannad is rather similar to Angel Beats! and they do get compared a lot. Although Clannad is a lot more emotional that Angel Beats!, in my opinion it's due to the lack of Angel Beats! episodes. The two anime have many characters that you will learn to love, and although some parts might confuse certain people, the stories are wonderful nevertheless. Clannad's characters will grab hold of you and never leave your side; they will pull you back into the Clannad world within hours of you finishing the anime. The art is beautiful and obvious detail goes into different scenes. Although Clannad doesn't have as much action as Angel Beats! does, the wonderful drama makes up for it. In conclusion, the anime are similar through their wonderful characters and genres.read more
Both has a touching feel to them
Makes you cry man tears
Makes you want to watch more
Has a pinch of Romance in them
Both Slice of Life . Comedy . and School genres
[May contain some spoilers]
Both series:
~ mainly take place at a school
~ the main character wants to help the other characters with accomplishing their dreams or help them with problems
~ have some supernatural elements in it
~ have realistic and dramatic background stories of some characters
Both are written by Key. They both have scenes that makes you cry and some that make you laugh.
Overall these are similar; the only slight difference is that Angel Beats is more focused on humor and Clannad is more focused on emotion.
Pretty much the same. The drama is there, same creator, both have awesome plot and are totally worth watching. If u enjoyed one of them you will deffinetly love the other.
Although Angel Beats has more of an impact compared to the other, and also it has much deeper plot (in some parts anyway).
Both shows are Key productions and are real tear-jerkers. Clannad probably makes you shed more tears, whereas Angel Beats! puts its focus on humor more often—but the end has just as much of an emotional impact as Clannad. In both shows, the characters are key points to the story. As for the setting, both shows take place in a high school setting. In short, if you loved one, you are very likely to love the other as well!
Heart warming and tear jerking story lines. Drama, comedy and a touch of romance rolled into one. Clannad and Angel Beats! generally have a similar atmosphere, centered on school and a group of friends. However, Angel Beats! may have a lighter feel to it compared to Clannad but both anime are good and were original creations of Key. They may share a number of similarities, but both series have a lot of unique points that will certainly strike you in a way and leave something in your heart.
If you don’t mind taking another ride on the Feels bus, then I recommend you to watch the other.

The plot has little in common besides been based in a school environment thrz really no similarity..
The main reason y I made this recommendation is coz of the emotional pull in both anime .....both are heart harming storys that could make u sherd tries or put a smile one your face....both have memorable character s u grow to lov ...
The to shows may have alot of difference' s to many to start listing but for some strange reason u get the same feeling from both of thiz great .shows
They're both packed with feelz and both have relatable characters you would get punished for falling in love with.
They also share the whole different dimension/world aspect that somehow correlates to the main plot.
Clannad (Season 1) might be the perfect Anime for Angel Beats! fans. It has something mysterious over the whole season, nice looking & kind characters and a lot of fun in it. The charisma is really Angel Beats! like.
Note: Same director.
This anime is similar to Clannad in the fact that it also has emotion and humour mixed but Angel Beats! is a different type of anime as it also has some action. Just wish there were more episodes of it!
- beautiful animation and soundtracks
- spirits and supernatural elements
- these series can make a person go from crying like a baby to laughing with all their heart and vice versa in a matter of minutes
-Both have lots of sad moments targeted right for your heart
-Both have ridiculous yet hilarious comedy relief
-Both have similar music and openings
-The characters don't have similar personalities, but it feels like if there was a crossover between the two series, the characters would get along with each other well. As a bonus, they have similar designs.
Ok. We all know this one. These two animes
-wanna hug your heart
-has a quite depressing plot line
-Makes you feel many emotions
-main character somehow have similar head (don't judge me!)
-amazing Opening theme song!
If you enjoyed any of these points in Angel beats/Clannad, then definitely go for the other one. They are both generally great animes.
If Angel Beats made you cry, don't doubt it, try Clannad.
While Angel Beats feels a bit rushed and its final episode, although is good, you have no time to fully empathize with the characters to enjoy the anime to its full potential, Clannad takes a first season with pretty good storyline to know the characters. This season has some of the best comic scenes i've ever seen (like Angel Beats) and some dramatic moments, but if you are looking for Angel Beats' drama...
Here it is, Clannad: After Story, probably the best anime drama i've ever seen and you'll ever seen, a true masterpiece and personally my favourite anime. However, it is necessary to watch both seasons, so take a look.read more
Both of them have a good amount of comedy, they have a really good developped characters and in both of them have unexpected events you should't see come and hits right in your feelings.
Both are made by Key Studios and have supernatural elements in them. Both main characters get involved with a club in a school and learn about the touching backstories of other characters. If you enjoy the type of emotional storytelling Key is known for, you'll probably enjoy both the series.
It certainly gives you a good cry. It is about the importance of family, the importance of love. That no matter how far away someone seems, they are really right beside you.
Angel Beats and Clannad go hand in hand. It is hard for me to talk about one without the other. Each has its own unique story, but almost the same feeling to it. Both are tear-jerkers even for the people who rarely cry to anime. Happiness and comedy are mixed in with the serious moments. I would highly recommend Angel Beats to fans of Clannad and Clannad: After Story. (Bonus: Angel Beats and Clannad share many voice actors in both English and Japanese!)
Clannad and Angel Beats! share the similiar Supernatural settings, which is very interesting and worth to watch. Angel Beats! is simply an afterlife while Clannad is how you live your life with your own way.
Both were originally visual novels written by the same guy, and they have a very similar tone and feel. They both revolve around high school settings with some supernatural aspects, the lead is a straight man to the wackiness of the other characters, and both seek to make you laugh and cry in equal measure.
If you like romantic comedy animes like Angel Beats! then I can almost guarantee that you'll enjoy Clannad. They have over the top humor while still being serious when needed. Clannad, like Angel Beats!, is a sad but still heartwarming anime that plays with your emotions.
Our special bonds. Angel Beats and Clannad follows groups of students who spend their times creating bonds with one another in their school lives.
Though Angel Beats story follows Yuri and the SSS in a battle against God. Whereas, Clannad, is refined of any battles. Both stories give MCs Otonashi and Tomoya to find the value of people around them and of themselves whether it be through fighting, for AB or helping others out, for Clannad.
Both anime are tasteful heartwarming comedies by KEY, with supernatural and drama in a school atmosphere.
Both of these anime were made by the same studio and both are set in a school environment with a supernatural element in it. They both have depressing endings and emotional scenes through out the series.
If you loved canned/angel beats then you are sure to like the other.
They are both anime that closely explore tragic situations in a realistic and down-to-earth way. Because of this, they are likely to leave an impression on you in similar ways.
- Both series have multiple characters going through hardships are have had a very difficult past
- Both series are very emotional.
- Both series are written by Jun Maede
These two are really similar. They are both somewhat sad and pull off a comedic result sometimes which is amazing for that type of anime. Much like Clannad, Angel Beats delves into the lives of side characters often and the main character helps relieve their shoulders of the burdens they were carrying before. They are both great shows and have great audio soundtracks.
Yurippe is extremely similar to Haruhi, in both appearance and personality. There are other character similarities as well (Otonashi = Kyon, Angel = Yuki) although they aren't quite as strong. The more lighthearted episodes of Angel Beats remind me of the non-Melancholy episodes of Haruhi, although the shows have different styles when it comes to dramatic plots.
Angel Beats main character resembles Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya's main character a lot. Yuri as crazy as Haruhi and have same kind of personality besides not only main char even story is unique too [ this is also same for another way :) ]
School setting with a group of teens and a suttle aproach to the supernatural.
Leaders in both teams are know-it-all girls with an agenda (who also look alike), whilst the leading males are the non-doormat yet not highly assertive type.
They have the same feeling. They're in school, in a club, in a sort of club. The leaders are so similar, in attitude and design. They have mysteries and a lot of fun.
The similarities are astounding: both center around clubs, both leaders are charismatic and random, both involve supernatural elements, both take place at schools, both leaders are eccentric and wear arm bands, the male protagonists both are very bland and just follow along... The list goes on!
If you liked Haruhi, you'll like Angel Beats!
i would say , they are both great animes to watch
and characters are very similar
Like Otonashi - Kyon , Haruhi - Yuri , Kanade - Yuki .
And they both have mysterious surrounding xD .
I find the two main characters of these TV series strikingly similar. Suzumiya Haruhi is very similar to Yuri. They are both headstrong characters with great leadership skills that lead their groups to "mischief" (to put it generally). If you love Haruhi, check out Angel Beats! Both are supernatural series but other than that they are pretty different.
They are both amazing animes that have some similar qualities. While Angel Beats also has a more serious and sad side to it, it is also very humerus and comedic like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. They both have the light-hearted school/club element, and the club leaders are both very enthusiastic. While neither of them are very focused on romance, they each have some romance between the characters that make the stories more interesting. I think that regardless of their similarities and differences, both Angel Beats and the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are amazing shows that deserve to be watched, and you will love them.
Very similar in main characters being rebellious females leading a group. A lot of supernatural and slice of life as well as humor, romance and action. Also, similar music/concert scenes.
They are just too alike!Both series discuss the "God" topic.Also Haruhi is similiar to Yuri,Kyon is equal to Otonashi & Nagato looks like Kanade(Angel)(Tenshi).Although I think Angel Beats! is better.Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu is awesome too but it feels a little random especially in season 2.
Both series have a brigade that involves supernatural things. Also the brigade leader (Haruhi and Yuri) have a very similar personality, and both series have many references to "God".
In both there are some episodes with music concerts too.
Element of "god' in both series, except that in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Haruhi is the god, and in Angel Beats, Yuri is opposing the god. Supernatural elements in both (monsters). Both use character flashbacks for character development. Also, Yuki and Kanade are both danderes who are good at fighting
Suzumiya Haruhi is very similar to Angel Beats. There is a strong female lead character with involvement with sci-fi aspects, there's also minor romance involved in both series. The variety of characters in both series do share similar character archetypes. If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi, you'll enjoy Angel Beats.
Both are mystery comedies based on similarly strange supernatural premises. Both do a great job of revealing a little bit more information each episode, which changes how you view the story and keeps things fresh.
-psychological, philosophical elements
-religious questions (about god)
-female leader and male protagonist
-supernatural elements
-characters have disturbing past
-alternative reality themes
-high school theme
-sense of humor
-both entertaining and without shallow scripts
Both take place in a school type setting. Both involve clubs/bridges. And both deal with clashing ideologies of life. The main characters of Haruhi and Yuri also share similarities with each other.
both involve one forceful girl leader, both center around a concept of rebelling against god in some form, both have a guy that changes the main girl, in some form
It's obvious that angel beats took some parts here and there from Suzumiya Haruhi. Both are the leader of a Club, both have a similair style especailly the sailor school uniform looks really close
angel beats is suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu just with more emotion but a much more senseless story and a very devastating bad 13th episode
Not long after starting Angel Beats, I was surprised of how similar it was to (The Melancholy of) Haruhi Suzumiya series.
First of all, the MCs:
Otonashi (Angel Beats!) = Kyon (Haruhi Suzumiya)
Both are the "normal" type of guy, who's enrolled into something despite themselves. They follow a group, somewhat uninterested, but enjoy it in the end. They are VERY similar.
The Setup:
Afterlife Battlefront (Angel Beats!) ~=~ SOS Brigade (Haruhi Suzumiya)
Both take place in school (Slice of Life), and their "headquarters" are both a Club room.
Both series don't take itself seriously thus include comedy.
Overall:
You follow the MC mostly. School life, meets people, enjoy company, makes friend. However, Angel Beats! is more a Fantasy Action with some Slice of Life while Haruri Suzumiya is more Slice of Life with a bit of action.
If you enjoyed one of these, I highly suggest giving a try to the other!read more
The main female characters are very alike. Both lead a group that they made and actually, they kinda look like each other. The main male characters are also similar because they are the ones who realize the weirdness of their plans and also serve as a very important member of the group.
The female protagonists, Yurippe and Haruhi, are very similar characters.
Both are energetic Tsunderes
Both are leaders of school clubs that deal with the paranormal
Both have a knack for having their way.
In addition, the male protagonists are characters one can connect to easily. They are your average down to Earth teenagers who have to deal with many weird occurances.
The genre of the two animes is also the same. Both are school life shows with a supernatural twist. The main difference between the two is that Angel Beats! has a much darker side to it, while MHS is lighter in terms of plot (its episodes are slightly episodic) but arguably more entertaining.read more
Both shows have a similar atmosphere and share a high school setting (although angel beats is set in the 'afterlife'). They both have elements of mystery and humor and some of the characters are quite similar like Haruhi<-->Yuri and Otonashi<-->Kyon.
- same character personalities/appearance. Haruhi to Yuri, Kyon to Otonashi, Nagato to Kanade.
- both have clubs for special people doing special activities. SOS Brigade for Haruhi and SSS for
Angel Beats
Both have hot-headed female leads who are somewhat incharge of the rest. Both shows are bottom line hilarious, not to mention the fair share of seriousness they both contain. Comedy, Romance, Tragedy, and action in both shows. If you're a Suzumiya fan, you'll definitely be a fan of Angel Beats!.
Both female leads look similar and have very similar characteristics, Both are about a group or club at a high school who go on spontaneous advanetures, both have a male lead who are placed in a situation unfamiliar to them but eventually just go with the flow, and both start off funny and light but get more and more deep as the story progresses.
If you liked Angel Beats then I would highly recommend watching Haruhi, they both revolve around a club with quirky characters and there is some overlap in character tropes. In my opinion, the Haruhi series is better in just about every way. So I would recommend anyone who really liked Angel Beats to give it a try.
Both take place in high school and both revolve around an eccentric club leader. Both shows are comedic and enjoyable. The Melencholy of Haruhi Suzumiya also has an incredible movie to conclude the series much better than the Angel Beats ending.
Each show focuses on a group of students dealing with the supernatural. Haruhi and Yuri have very similar personalities and go about things the same way. Feature slice of life elements and not so slice of life elements throughout the series'.
Both show us a girl as leader, who insatiably seeks an answer to the questions that she herself questions, not knowing that her response is so close to her. Both are related to the powers that are created by a being "divine" or "out of this world." Haruhi of the anime of the same name, look for aliens, espers, time travelers, who are created by their own existence and Yuri of the anime Angel Beats !, seeks angels and God, who are created in their mind, but are not real. The two series show two groups that perform different missions under the guidance of these girls, which are absurd and may not find anything revealing, or maybe yes. The protagonist will observe from the outside, almost giving nothing, only when the mysteries that its leader seeks reveal itself to him.read more
High school boys, a crazy environment, a strong willed female protagonist, the world of Haruhi is pretty similar to the alternate world of angel beats. You will not have the feels that angel beats leave, but you will have the fun of a series of unexpected events that violate the law of physics.
Yuri and Haruhi are similar characters, both energetic, group leaders, and struggling against resignation; Yuri doesn't want to disappear and re-make her life, and Haruhi rejects the idea of having an ordinary life and disappear from the world without anyone that remind her.
Despite the melancholic concept that both shows can hold, there is a lot of comedy into them, and the atmosphere, it's similar as for slice of life, and also comedy is referred.
In my opinion, these animes have a similar atmosphere, something serious happening but with a lot of humor and characters that do not show much interest in this serious thing.
PT/BR:Na minha opinião,esses animes tem uma atmosfera parecida,alguma coisa séria acontecendo mas com muito humor e personagens que não demonstram muito interesse nessa coisa séria.
If you really enjoyed Angel Beats I would definitively consider watching the Haruhi series. If there is any shows that I have seen that are strikingly similar to Angel Beats, the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the first that comes to mind. Both are very similar in their approach to the formula of the series.
A main male protagonist gets pulled into a school club led by a strong female lead into a world he is unfamiliar with. Also both have another lead female character who is quiet, mysterious and very strong. Both have comical, emotional and serious subject matter that is shrouded in mystery. To summarize, they are both exceptionally great series in their own right and very unique. read more
Both are mystery comedies based on similarly strange supernatural events. They do a great job of revealing a little bit more information each episode, which changes how you view the story and keeps things interesting.
Angel Beats!, while being fundamentally distinct, references Suzumiya Haruhi in many ways that shouldn't go unnoticed. A lot of the characters in Angel Beats!'s Afterlife Battlefront feel like less-extreme, more flushed-out versions of SOS Brigade members. Like, how Otonashi is similar to Kyon in that he's the only "normal" one in the brigade, or how Yurippe is similar to Haruhi herself in that they both take charge and order everyone in the group to partake in silly tasks with a silly goal in mind. Despite this, the characters in Angel Beats! are still able to feel original given that they all possess heart wrenching backstories, and have dialed back on the extreme goofiness from Suzumiya Haruhi in order to fit better into the more serious show.read more
Its as if I'm watching angel beats 2.0. The comedy is enjoyable but repitative however I somewhat love the way the characters all fool around and at the same time there can be consequences if they mess up.
Life after death, or better say: afterlife. Both series are significantly based on this concept. Which makes them both overall quite interesting.
While Death Parade might result to have a darker atmosphere and tone than Angel Beats, this last one instead has somewhat of a more "colorful" atmosphere and in some occasions can get deeper than DP, but both series can still have lighter and funny moments here and then. Esepcially AB at the start.
Now, we need to mention that both plots are different from eachother but still, the series share a great deal:
- aside from the already stated strong main concept of the afterlife, the series deal with all that can come with that. Meaning life experiences, good and bad, life mistakes and life regrets. Of course, the huge argument of death as well and the impact it has on both sides: the deceased and the ones that lost them.
- regrets obviously come along with unfinished business which are part of both series
- being setted in the afterlife certainly the judgement is an important piece in the plots for both of them; and aside from the classic idea of "paradise" or "hell", both series also deal with the intriguing idea of reincarnation
- both have characters among the main cast that are affected by some sort of memory loss
- both series introduce to you likeable characters to the point that you can get emotionally involved with them, get happy with them and sad with them. In some characters you might even see pieces of yourself here and there as you might share some thoughts or points of view or even experiences; which indeed enriches the overall enjoyment
- both have never a dull moment
That said, keep in mind that if the afterlife concept is what you liked the most in one of these, then you might like to see another different point of view for the same concept. I feel like to advice them both! Quite interesting to explore these ideas and how they develop them along with the characters!

Although their themes are really different with Death Parade being undoubtedly a whole lot darker, they both deal with afterlife and greatly show the value of life.
Both are about a realm within the afterlife and contain serious as well as comedic parts. They are supernatural and deal with psychological issues and lost memories.
They're both set in the afterlife, with one main character with amnesia and the other a white-haired emotionless person. There's a lot of drama concerning each character's past (more so in Death Parade) and some comedic moments (More so in Angel Beats!).
I consider both of them masterpieces.
Judging life from the afterlife. Both are about looking back on one's life and moving forward. Angel Beats is a little more comedic while Death Parade is a little more serious.
Both these two anime deals with death and what happens to human people when they die. Surely in Death Parade there is a darker atmosphere than in Angel Beats, but it is clear that in all this two anime feelings and the way of thinking of every character are considered really important. Then, in both these two anime is shown how unfair life can be with people, and how they react to this injustice. Finally, both in Death Parade and in Angel Beats is taken into consideration the possibility for souls to be reincarnated in another body.
Although the overall moods of the two shows differs slightly, with Death Parade being noticeably darker, and Angel Beats including more comedy, both have overarching plots, but are at their feels-inducing best when focusing on episodic, character(s)-of-the-week arcs. Both also involve afterlife settings, and revolve around the characters coming to terms with not just their deaths, but the lives they led as well.
Both heavily focus on the concepts of death and passing on. Angel Beats aims towards reincarnation and making the most of the life you had while Death Parade focuses on judging people's lives to have been humane or not.
- Both stories follow the concept of the transition between death and the afterlife.
- Both series deal with judgement and moving on after death.
- Both have different ways of dealing with death and unfinished business but both shows have the people who have passed on work through their lives and in the end move on to wherever they need to go.
- Both shows tug at your emotions and feelings as you feel empathy for the characters.
- Both shows also make you think seriously and offer some thought provoking moments.
- Both of these animes operate on a different plane of existence. Making us all think what really happens after we die.
- Both of them bring out emotions you never thought you had with dramatic, intense storylines and memories from the characters.
- Both anime have a touching ending and are filled with loveable characters that you will easily get attached to.
- Both shows are well-crafted, and have creative imagery and beautiful animation.
Overall, Death Parade is far darker than Angel Beats, but if you enjoyed one, you would likely enjoy the other.read more
Both of these anime deal with people in the afterlife dealing and coming to terms with what they did while they were alive in order to "pass on." The circumstances for the two are very different, but at the basis, the situations of the characters' lives were similarly stressful. Death Parade goes more in depth into each individual's past while creating a more dark, serious atmosphere partially masked by the games played. Angel Beats! is a much more light-hearted show overall while working in more stressful scenes later on. Even with these differences, both shows were tear-jerking in the same way and I automatically thought of Death Parade as I went deeper in Angel Beats!. read more
Well for starters they both take place after death.
Both plots are about going to heaven. Or in their stories getting reincarnated.
Over time you get to learn pretty much everyones backstories.
Either good or bad. Their backstories are really detailed.
And in the end they have a nice happyish ending!
They're both dealing with a situation between life and afterlife. They also emphasize on the decisions of life and how they affect both someone and the people around him, even after death.
The concept is the same, they both take place in afterlife and characters with sad backgrounds. But for me Angel Beats is more colourful? It has all bunch of things in the same place like comedy, drama, action... But Death Parade goes on in the same place and way.
-In both the characters enter the afterlife and their hardships and regrets of past are portrayed.
-The male mc of angel beats is pretty similar to the female mc of Death Parade.
Both are in a world between life and death, afterlife. In Death Parade, the "guests" came to play a game where their lives are at stake. In Angel Beats the guests become students of a school. But both people are similar. All are dead, they can't remember their name or how they got in there, they got no memories of their deaths and all are pretty much invulnerable. Death Parade may took some plot seriously, deeply and darker that Angel Beats. Angel Beats is not as dark, but took every person background deeply. Though, there are much more comedies and cracks on Angel Beats.
Death parade offers its characters the chance to assess their worldly lives whereas Angel Beats! leaves its characters to figure this out on their own in a state of limbo. Both shows are heavy on themes of death, more specifically making peace with the idea.
Both these shows tackle the theme of what happens to you (or your soul) once you die. Heaven, hell, reincarnation or the void - your deeds decide your fate.
Angel Beats had great potential but was a let down to me. Death Parade, on the other hand, is a must watch for those wanting to view something different from what anime usually has to offer.
- Death and reincarnation themes
- Action takes place in afterlife
- Initially people lack memories after getting there
- Emotionless, white-haired character taking care of the place
Both are similar in that they talk about people who had terrible lives and how this affects them when they die, which leads to very emotional moments.
Both have a main character being already dead so there couldn't really be a happy ending for both series.
Both Animes talk about what happens in the afterlife and share the emotions of regret and sadness once you learn about your reason of death. In Death Parade, it's more intense though.
well... it has a place where you go after you die, you regain your memories at one point in time. A lot of character development (if you like that sort of thing) and their both just good anime's in general so I suggest watching them anyway.
Death Parade and Angel Beats are two TV dramas set in the afterlife—a plane in between life and death. The story also feature many dead characters who don't remember their past at first, reflect on their lives, and sometimes think about what life and death mean to them throughout their time on this plane. These two TV dramas are very unique anime with a colorful cast of characters, a focus on tugging your heartstrings, and some of the best OPs I have ever seen/heard in anime.
Purgatory world. Death Parade and Angel Beats give forth a story in purgatory, in which characters begin judging how and where one should move on into the next life.
Death Parade is a dark story which tells the tale of Decim judging dead humans in whether they should go to heaven or hell via games. However, AB has a lighter tone which presents Otonashi's journey with the SSS in fixing past regrets in a battle against god before passing on.
With Death Parade being a more serious, eerie anime, with an episodic plot. Angel Beats shows has a much softer, comedic atmosphere shrouded around it. Both with a fair amount of drama to spare.read more
Both deal with the afterlife where the dead are placed in some sort of limbo. Both involve the question of humanity, moral ambiguity, and moving on. Angel Beats! approaches this with a lighter tone while Death Parade takes a more sinister and nihilistic approach.
- They both have dead characters
- Afterlife
- Both Angel Beats and Death Parade have interesting characters with a hard past
- The souls don't remember how they died
- The main character doesn't remember their life/past
- Drama
- Interesting story
- Has non-human characters( NPC in Angel Beats, and arbiters in Death Parade)
- Nice animation
- Action(in Death Parade its mostly extreme games, or its in the flahbacks)
Both rely on themes of afterlife, concretly on Buddhism. The characters enter afterlife world without their memories and to reincarnate they need to remember their past lifes. Also both series' characters have very sad backstories and very high "cry potential". Another similar thing is that both anime have emotionless character who each episode becomes more and more humane.
Both are good afterlife anime, both teach you about stuff like: Don't give up on your life and they show the true human emotions. Both are completely rollercoasters of emotions so don't be fooled.
Both series have a white-haired, cute girl protagonist. They become friends with the male protagonist - a genuinely nice and sweet guy - and their friendship gradually changes over the course of the story. They both have humour integrated into an otherwise emotional story.
The main characters for both of the shows are very alike, and both have nice character development.
Their designs are kind of similar too.
As for the plot, The story lines are different however if you were to watch Plastic Memories you can see what I'm trying to say hnnnnggg
I just don't want to spoil anything, like they both tell you ahead of time whats going to happen yknow ?
Both of these beautiful series starts off a little slow at first, but after a few episodes it starts picking up speed and the romance between the two main characters begin to unravel. They are both so bitter-sweet and they will definitely take you on an emotional roller coaster. If you cried to one, you will probably cry to the other one too and remember to prepare the tissues ;~;
-Both have the main love interest as a white-haired kuudere girl
-Both have a fairly generic protagonist who is introduced to a new situation wherein he meets the love interest in question
-Both have character death without really stating that it was death (disappearing, retrievals)
Different story and different context, but Angel Beats! (AB!) and Plastic Memories (PM) have some similarity. The drama element make both anime have the strong feels. Not only that, both female mc, Kanade (AB!) and Isla (PM) make the feels grow stronger. With their kuudere personality and long white hair, they ready to shake your heart and your feeling. And brace yourself for the ending, because say goodbye is not easy as you think. Watch it if you want to know what i mean.
The series are both dramas that can get you emotional. In both anime, the main character meets an emotionless girl and gets to know her better throughout the series. The shows also deal with loss as the characters in both series can disappear by either getting obliterated or through retrievals.
First of all, both are Emotional Anime
In both anime the main characters are a boy and a white-haired girl.
In the beginning of both anime the main characters dont know each other.
While Plastic Memories is much more heart-breaking and romantic than Angel Beats, but Angle Beats compensate with comedy and action.
You might cry in Angel Beats but you will for sure in Plastic Memories.
SUMMING UP, if you want a Dramatic and Emotional anime watch Plasic Memories. If you dont want just an Romance anime and want a mixed between Emotion-Comedy-Action you must watch Angel Beats.
* both have female characters with similar personalilty
*both anime have heartworming experience and both are sad
* both male characters feel as if they need to help the people around them
*both coulples struggle to understand each other
Both deal with love, and bringing closure to the end of an experience. It's the experiences that bind people together, and both are able to showcase it.
Both shows are grounded on the premise of inevitable death. More specifically, preparing oneself for disappearing from the world. As such, both explore the challenges that come from this in their own way.
Plastic Memories focuses on the idea of androids in society. Androids that are so human, that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. As such, you can consider these androids humans with a predetermined lifespan of 8 years. The company who makes the androids are designated at retrieving them before their lifespan ends. This show follows a retrieval employee tasked at working with androids to retrieve others at the end of their lifespan. The androids within the facility are no exception.
Angel Beats takes place in schoolgrounds. However, teachers are not present, nor much else. That is because everyone is already dead and the schoolground they reside in is limbo. This show follows a student who is roped into a group who rebels against the fate of their inevitable disappearance of fading from fulfillment. However, all lives fade in the end.read more
The main reason I recommend this if you finished watching Angel Beats! is that the heroine of this story looks like Kanade. The progression of the story will make you love and get into the characters with its very good progression also top notch recommendation if you want another sad anime. This will make you tear up.
Emotional and tearjerker anime from beginning to end. The characters are pretty similar. Good storyline. The romance and drama is quite good. The same end credit scene.
Do you like to cry, but you're not hardcore enough for Clannad? Here you go.
Angel Beats! starts out pretty calmly, but starts to escalate pretty quick around mid-series until the end of it. Plastic Memories kicks you in the feels hard starting on the first episode, which is pretty commendable, but isn't a constant tear jerker, and turns into more of a romance as it goes on, albeit a depressing one (I also really like the concept behind this one and the way it's executed.
Angel Beats is the whole package.
First you laugh, then you cry, then you see some action, laugh again then BAM! MORE TEARS. my favorite anime of all time for sure.
Angel Beats and Plastic Memories both feature similar white-haired girls and both balance comedy with emotion very well. If you liked either show I would recommend giving the other a try.
Similarities:
Both have a very kawaii kuudere loli who has problems
Similar Female Main characters with the same appearance and similar personalities
Both shows have a male MC that is a newbie who was just introduced to a new situation
Supernatural and romance genre
If you're looking for an anime with pretty good storyline, character development, romance and actually a good ending. These are your go-to animes! I don't see these two talked about a whole lot which is a shame. They have a lot of beautiful and emotional moments that really stand out to you, may even cry a bit. It's definitely worth checking them out.
They are both set where the characters are in a highschool. Both are funny heartwarming and tear-jerking. The storyline with both drags you in and you cannot stop watching untill the last seconds of the last episode. They are also both made by Key, who are well known for their amazing anime. If you loved Clannad and Clannad: After story, you will love Angel Beats. Now go watch, Laugh and cry.
Both of these anime are from the same anime company and both have a similar feel (mix of comedy and serious elements). They also share a powerful theme that is incredibly touching :)
The ending more or less gave me the almost same bitter sweet ending. Its one of those animes in which you kinda dont wish it to end but it kinda has to. Yes, it made me tear up, try it!
Both visual novels are made by the company visual art's/key.
Audience would love every character in both animes through the incredible back stories.
Both contain extremely emotional tear jerking scenes as well as well-placed humor.
Both animes contain the motif of love across dimensions.
This story is originally wrote by the same guy. If you liked clannad you like this. The story is a little hard to get your head around at first but if you pull through the first couple episodes you will see the same comedy and ideals that were in clannad in angel beats! The story will touch you just as clannad did and even make you think about your own life. You may not cry as much but there are some pretty sad events here too
Angel Beats! and Clannad, both have the nice Slice of Life and fantasy mix in them, obviously Angel Beats! has a lot less slice of life, but those back story for the main characters is amazing. It is a lot like Clannad as they both have the depressing factor in them, The only real difference is Angel Beats! is not so romance/drama based. I highly recommend both, now go watch em'
First of all, Clannad: After Story and Angel Beats! are both made by the same studios: Key. With that in mind, much of the art work, story, music and characters will have the same sort of emotional feel to them. People who enjoyed Clannad will definitely love Angel Beats! and vise versa. While there are many similarities, none are exactly easy to spot in the beginning. There is a significant time skip between the making of Clannad and Angel Beats! for the art to have changed. Both create an emotional setting that cannot be ignored.
These two series have same writer and can both invoke a whole mix of emotions. Both also have awesome OSTs. Angel Beats has really solid character development, and I was interested in all of the characters' stories. After Story did however lack a little and that will probably get me some flack, but I'll explain. In Clannad, they had AMAZING character development where you really got to know all the characters. But in After Story, it's just like "See ya everyone! Time to focus on Nagisa and Tomoya!" I really didn't care for that because Sunohara, Kyou, Tomoyo were all really well-done characters. What I didn't really understand was why waste the time of making the viewers interested in the other characters, only to pretty much just cut them out in After Story.read more
They both are verry sad and they are made with a lot of heart.
Clannad made me look on life in a different way.
Angel beats is the same. It also made me look on life in a other angle.
Watch theese to animes if you like sad stories who has a lot of work behind it!
one last thing.
Be prepared to cry
//Sam
This story is originally written by the same guy . If you liked Clannad you will probably like this. The story is a little hard to get to your head at first but if you pull through the first couple episodes you will see the same comedy and ideals that were in clannad in angel beats! The story will touch you just as clannad did and even make you think about your own life.
Both anime are made by Key, and will pull at your heart strings. Both anime have wonderful soundtracks and endings, and will leave you with tears in your eyes.
While this gets more mysterious, it is still similar to the first season. It feels more "melodic" than its predecessor and is a fantastic addition to the first season. I laughed sometimes, not as often as in the first season.
Again, it is similar in charisma, character style and the fun factor is high.
If you want to cry more after Clannad, you should watch Angel Beats because both anime have a lot of sadness an funny moments. And also have good ending for both anime.
-Both are very emotional
-Both deal with characters that have had something taken from them or with some sort of tragic backstory
-Both have hilarious comedy
-Both have a rare combination of the genres 'slice of life' and 'fantasy'
Both have comedy reliefs between the drama (if they didn't have this, I would make suicide) but the drama in the two is so big that it's imposible to not feel sad. The two made good reflectings about life and how harsh it can be.
Characters in both are lovable, and the most important is that their suffering is yours.
Eveyone, close your eyes. Now, imagine that you have just died. As you slowly open your eyes, you see a place. What would that place look like? Where would you be? Is it . . . the after-life?!
This is exactly what happens to Otonashi Yuzuru, the main protagonist of Angel Beats. But, he finds himself walking in a rather common place—a school! Strangely enough, it's a school where the students are battling an angel who's trying to put them all to rest.
Thinking with a jumbled-up mind, this place really be confused with the place known as the after-life. What's with the weird souls (students) and the infamous angel? And, is there any reason for the battle? All of these questions shall soon be answered in Angel Beats!
Mind you, even with the lighthearted theme and the much-anticipated funny scenes, you might just find your tears falling down as you dig in deeper into the plot.read more
Want another dose of sadness then this is one of the best shots, with a very good story progression. I can't say much more about this than watching Clannad then After Story, kinda speechless of how good this anime is.
Both shows focus on young adults dealing with different forms of trauma in different ways, both shows have very similar tones, and they both have very similar MCs.
I don't know what you are looking for but if you are looking for an anime which is damn sad and also a little bit romantic, includes high school student, then I would recommend Angel Beats. Both them are sad and consists of high school students, it(Angel Beats) has romance but not in the level of Clannad, if you understand.
But still I would recommend people to watch this show.
Similar animation style, both involving a mystery surrounding a high school. Similar character archetypes. Really funny moments of randomness, but can be very poignant at times, too.
Opening up, both series have this air about them. The high school setting presents itself as normal, yet something tells the viewer it actually isn't normal. What isn't normal? Well, quite a few things, such as battling in school premises, but the school also holds secrets.
-Jun Maeda is the writer of Little Busters! that also wrote Angel Beats, Air, Clannad, and parts of Kanon
-The setting is similar but the story's concept goes on a different direction. If you love Angel beats, you will love this anime (because of all these strong similarities).
Both series involves the same writer, Jun Maeda.
LB! and Angel Beats! has a similar feeling that involves supernatural themes set in a lighthearted mood with its cast of characters. Both series also involves a group of friends doing various activities and having fun.
Both series has similar concepts and the main male protagonist has similar personalities.
Both series' soundtrack also has a smooth melody as well as a lighthearted OP song.
Both series has comedy, drama, and also some emotions as various episodes progresses.
I just realized that Angel Beats! and Little Busters! are way more similar to each other than for example to Clannad. Of course it would be a huge spoiler to tell what makes them so similar
Both animes are about a group of friends enjoying the time they spend together, they show an alike story line. They are both Key works and they have the same beautiful art.
- In both anime they will be going on useless missions
- The plot is slightly similar Without going into further details
- A lot of MAIN character in both series
- Takes place in school
- Tear jerkers throughout both series
- KEY
I don't see how this relates to Clannad in any way.
IMO, Little Busters and Angel Beats are very similar in its themes and they can easily be close to relate if it was understood in a better angle. Even if they have different story.
Both of the plots of these animes are basically almost the same concept, apart from the fact that in Angel Beats they are all in the afterworld. Just like Otonashi sticks with a whole group, Naoe Riki does as well. Both of these animes go deep into the past of most of the characters, and that's what makes them so similar.
If you like a good drama or anime with deep emotions, Little Busters & Angel Beats are for you.
-The MC in both series helps the other cast members to overcome certain problems in their life.
-The use of emotion is used excellently in both series.
-Each of the animes has a leader that guides the group and helps it grow.
-The MC of each animes has certain problems of his own he must overcome with the help of his/her friends.
-Both can be dramatic and sad but also comedic at times with both being done extremely well.
- Both are sometimes funny, and sometimes sad; and have a great cast of characters that never get boring
- Both have dungeons (LB! in season 3)
- Both main characters must solve their friend's troubles
- Both original works are made by the same people
Little Busters (and Refrain) is everything that Angel Beats should have been.
While they are very similar, Little Busters succeeds in its storytelling unlike Angel Beats which succeeds merely in production value alone.
They both were done by Key and Sentai Filmworks. They start the same way, but plots develop diffrently. While Angel Beats was rushed and had few holes in the plot, Little Busters is long and it has few mistakes. They are both fun and heartbreaking. If you love Angel Beats, you're going to love Little Busters.
They are both made by key.
Just like little busters, Angel beats shows a group of friends and like the little busters, they also have a group of their own called afterlife battlefront.
Angel beats contains many funny and random moments similar to little busters
It's KEYS! That's all you need to know! Both shows are brilliant and worth watching. "Little Busters ~Refrain~" is really good. But "Angel Beats!" is even better. My favorite anime if I can say so.
You want some surnatural, drama and comedie????
GO FOR IT!!!
Angel Beats! is a masterpiece, Little Busters is great, but you have to watch the whole first season to watch the second one and melt in pleasure at the end.
What these anime have in common:
~Both have mainly a male main character. (Pattern? Noticed.)
~LOADS OF DRAMA AND SADNESS FOR ALL TO SEE. (P.S. Keep a pack of tissues handy. This could get messy.)
~A few Baseball scenes.
~Romance and somewhat comedy.
Same creator so of course there are a lot of similarities like the random funny moments and character tropes and both have a distinctive form of dramatic storytelling.
-Angel Beats was written by Jun Maeda of visual novel studio Key. He also authored Rin's Route and Refrain in Little Busters.
-Share such similar concepts and structure that I have to argue that Little Busters might have been a prototype for Angel Beats. For example, the cast of both series are a tightly-knitted group of friends, story of both series starts off light-hearted before descending into heavier and deeper themes; these kind of stuff.
-Art done by the same guy, Na-Ga.
The anime are both dramas made by Key Studios that have supernatural elements in them. Both main characters join a group of students in a school and end up doing several tasks with them. Both series also have mystery elements in them and revolve around discovering the "secret of the world". If you enjoy the type of emotional storytelling Key is known for, you'll probably like both the series.
Both made by Jun Maeda also both made by KEY
Both have a similar atmosphere involving Mystery, Drama, Comedy and Romance
Both Highschool Themed
Story/Plot, Character Personalities are way too Similar
Both will make you Laugh but also make you feel emotionally on some parts.
While Haibane Renmei couldn't be more dissimilar, the concept of the characters being in a supposed afterlife or purgatory are both extremely integral to the setting. Although in Angel Beats!, it seems like they fear the next step and thus rebel in anyway to ensure they don't disappear. However, in Haibane Renmei, they do the exact opposite and are more resigned to their fate, and there is little conflict.
Similar premise, very different execution.. Haibane takes away the comedy, action and some cuteness factor in order to bring more deepness to the premise setting, but both anime can leave you wondering the same questions about life purpose, and death.
Similar in both is by accepting yourself(regret) or atone your sin of your past before death you will be free from that world. Born to other world where they had to do work and live on with other people a.k.a citizen of that world.
In both, people are born into another world after they die because of regrets from their life before and stuck there until they can get rid of their regrets and become at peace with themselves.
Angel Beats! and Haibane Renmei have similar concepts, as both are centered around characters who are in a purgatory-like setting. While Angel Beats! has more comedy and action, Haibane Renmei takes a much more serious tone, and also likes to leave things up to the viewer to interpret. Liking one of these shows does not necessarily mean you will like the other, but it is worth trying.
Imagine having found yourself, to an unknown world, as if a lucid daydream not to be awakened. The rejection and self-denial is nigh, as the individuals, Yuzuru and Rekka, slowly identify with their pasts and gradually accept the truth, within the labyrinth of both worlds, the "afterworld", and the real world. Haibane Renmei, an astute yet nostalgic series that carries an abstract, yet distinct air of suspense to it; Angel Beats, a fulfilling adventure in an alternative (afterlife) world to slowly depreciate and disintegrate as reality steps in. Both attempt to carry a complete and touching plot, with a natural flow in Haibane Renmei; while Angel Beats takes upon an aggressive, and relentless spirit towards the truth.read more
Both anime explore the concept of "Afterlife", and features the characters being trapped in another world due to their regrets from their past lives. Both characters are required to find peace within themselves to be finally set free.
Haibane Renmei is much more serious and complex, while Angel Beats! is a lot more comedic and action-packed.
Similarities:
+ Different interpretations of the afterlife for a group of people who appear to be adolescents despite not being human
+ The wall in Haibane Renmei is similar to how the world just ends outside of the high school in Angel Beats!
Differences:
- Angel Beats has action and much more vivid animation (granted it is 8 years younger) than Haibane Renmei which has a much calmer yet eerie atmosphere throughout the show
Haibane Renmei has been renowned as "Angel Beats for Hipsters" due to having more philosophical approach, classic western settings, symbolism, and less comedy/action/moe.
Both are stories about little children that have to accept their conditions and moving on from their past life sins/regrets in afterlife settiings.
Although Angel Beats! and Haibane Renmei each possess a different atmosphere and overall feel, they both share a similar setting and the theme of people moving on to the next life.
Both shows start off with the main character (Otonashi in Angel Beats! and Rakka in Haibane Remnei) awaking unsure of their past and where they are. Throughout the series, the protagonists learn about the true nature of the worlds they inhabit and that they have moved on to a new life. Also, both of these anime end on a sad note, but Haibane Renmei's ending is more welcome and hopeful than Angel Beats!'s ending.
However, Angel Beats! and Haibane Renmei are not entirely similar when it comes to the moods they set. Haibane Renmei appears much more calm and realistic while Angel Beats! can feel intense and fast paced. These different moods can be easily seen in the comedic portions of each anime. The comedy in Haibane Renmei feels more down to earth or relatable, but the comedy in Angel Beats! is often extreme. This is not necessiarily a bad thing (the humor is actually quite funny), but it can and does feel out of place at some momements, especially during serious scenes.read more
The characters live in some sort of afterlife, and we get to know each of them individually as they grow and, with the help of the main character, learn to acknowledge their regrets and move on.
"Haibane Renmei" is the art-house original, "Angel Beats!" is the action remake. Same premise, similar message, very different genre and art specific execution.
Both tell he story of an afterlife world where souls with an unfortunate death try to find answers to fundamental questions, and only get vague answers.
Pacing is reversed. Haibane has a slower start (5-6 eps) and ends in a banger (for arthouse standards). AB! literally starts in a firefight and ends on a low key.
Similiar themes, setting, and character progression. This one being artsier, slow-paced, and pragmatic than Angel Beats.
Is still highly emotional and has a beautiful soundtrack, so I highly recommend it
Very similar premise. While it is clear in Angel Beats that it is about a sort of "after life", in Haibane Renmei it is not said exactly but it is very obvious. These shows are similar in concept but different in execution. Angel Beats focuses more on action and comedy while Haibane Renmei is more deep.
Fates entwining, paths crossing perhaps only for a brief moment. Romance, sadness, packed together with a nice little bow of a well written plot, but prepare as well for a good cry.
One thing is for certain; at the end of these two anime, you will need a new box of tissues. They both focus around the lives of two people, brought together by similar situations. They learn from each other and ultimately bring the stories to life, through their trials and tribulations.
Both anime(s) are heart-warming, they exhibit the hardships of life, and friendship.Both are life-changing and they excel in their genre. Truly A MUST WATCH
If you want to cry and feel satisfied about it then this one's for you. Don't get deceived by the genre and welcome to the feel ride. The story is satisfying and has much more depth associated. You'll love it.
both have a beautiful and captivating design. We easily fall in love with the main characters. the story takes us to cheer for ther romance and makes us feel so happy ... so sad ... so excited.
Both are tragic and heart-breaking shows that will hit you where it hurts. Both are funny while being tragic, and both have incredibly meaningful messages underlying their tragedy.
Both are sad, with parts that will make all decent human beings cry... Angel beats isn't as focused on music, where only in the OP and with GDM, but still. Heartwarming and sad parts. Watch it, just watch both
Both animes are very beautiful and emotional. They have pretty animation & an amazing opening. They're both packed with feels and endings that will make you cry. If you want another heartbreaking anime, Angel Beats! is for you.
Both anime share similar themes of loss, friendship, and the struggle to overcome past regrets. The animation is beautiful, the characters are well-developed, and the story is engaging.
This series has a similar ending as Angel Beats. I should say Angel Beats was the saddest and one of the most touching anime when I watched it but Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso overtook it once I watched the last episode of it! It is really awesome and has very few or maybe no plotholes. If you are looking for an emotional anime with a good story and a strong musical connectivity, wait no more just watch Your Lie in April. And I can say for sure the suspense of "what is the lie" of the series is >= the suspense of the suspense of Angel and Yuzuru.read more
Similarities:
-Both anime are in the genre of drama.
-Both anime envisions scenes that involve music and concert.
-Both anime offers some comedy.
-Both anime represents a "Life and Death" plot.
-Both anime very much likely could make the viewer cry. *
Differences:
-Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso focuses on one thing: Music while Angel Beats is one the point of climax within fighting using guns and weapons.
-Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso does not have action as Angel Beats does.
-Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is in a genre of Shounen while Angel Beats is not.
-Artwork of the two anime are very much different from each other.
-Music themes of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is emotionally beautiful to hear and is involving greatest composers' works while in Angel Beats, it involves rock music.
-The comedic scene durations of the anime are different. Angel Beats had the scenes in which comedy parts are lasting long rather than Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso shifting from a comedy scene to a somewhat flashback, backstory or a scene in which something sad/depressing would happen.read more
Both of these anime are some of my favorite in the romance genre. They both have lighthearted premises at the first glance, but delve into some more mature topics as they progress. If you can get invested into the characters, I can just about guarantee you'll cry at the end.
these anime are heavily deep of emotion when it comes to loss and making most of the time you have left. The music in these anime plays a part also trying to reach out its message with these peaceful-esk melodies as eventually when the time comes you have to say your good byes 😿
in case you preferred the comedy in Angel beats! you may likely enjoy Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and both story are extremely good and the finishing are quite downhearted
Both have teenagers wielding pistols, sniper rifles, and automatic weapons. Both have a very large cast of characters, almost all of which are students. The comedy style is, in my opinion, very close to that of Angel Beats. It isn't really trying to make you sad like Angel Beats does, but I really get the same feel off of both of them.
Both use a unique premise to liven up usually tropey school shenanigans, and both strike a good balance between comedic fun and emotionally stirring moments.
Angel Beats! is a lot like Anatsu Kyoushitsu. They’re animes with teenagers determined to kill someone, at least in the beginning. They’re both set in a school setting and have the same kind of comedic style. At the end though, they are both heart-wrenching animes.
Defeat the superior. Assassination Classroom and Angel Beats presents students who fight against a superior force.
Assassination Classroom follows the eccentric students of Class 3-E in their mission to kill Koro-sensei before he destroys the world. Angel Beats having the same concept through the SSS tries to fight against god to get their revenge for their horrible lives before they died.
Both anime are great action-comedy in a school directed by Seiji Kishi.
Angel Beats was a good watch, but nothing special personally. However Assassination Classroom does everything Angel Beats does and makes it a million times better, making it deserving of a 10/10. An underlying interesting mystery, romantic undertones, a cast of compelling characters each with unique impactful backstories, an emotionally powerful ending having to do with graduation/self-growth. Both shows offer lessons of embracing the past, having empathy, appreciating one's life.
Both shows are about a group of students in a school setting working together trying to uncover and fight against an underlying mystery. They work in groups doing assassinations (assassination classroom) or operations (angel beats). Throughout the story, backstories of side characters are explored, leading to character development. The endings of both are impactful, and the ending of assassination classroom in particular is legendary.read more
Both shows are set in a High School like environment and have to do with assassinating someone (at least at first). They seem really funny and lighthearted in the first few episodes but get deeper after you get to know the characters. Also, the endings of both shows will bring you to tears or at least move you.
Both are set in a school-like environment and in both shows, the objective of the student is to kill their target. In Assasination Classroom, it is Koro-sensei, and in Angel Beats, it is Kanade.
The pull comes from wanting a last moment with the ones a person loves, yet the art style for each leans towards the Gothic style with the slight horror twist with the plot. Both anime are beautifully made.
Both anime depict life after death, communities of the undead and some kind of a revolt against the God. The main characters are also similar in a way: they help the undead people to actually "die" and cease their afterlife existance. There are also dramas, high schoolers fighting against the system, lots of fanservice and comedyshit in both anime.
Perhaps it is the fantasy style of both series sets forth the premise of Angel Beats and Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi. In both worlds, the dead no longer dies and thus death is non existent. Additionally, there exists a protagonist who gets caught up in such a world and seemingly encounters another strange individual. There is the themes of supernatural and bits of action involved. Additionally, the atmosphere of both shows gives off similar vibes.
Both have to do a lot with the after life and towards the end they both end up sharing an extremely similar premises. Both really try to tug at your heartstrings though Angel Beats does a much better job then Sunday Without God. They both are enjoyable pretty much from start to finish although Sunday Without God leaves much to be desired in its ending
In terms of the mild tone, use of simple characters and a few fairly intense moments of action and others of seriously emotional drama, Angel Beats and Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi are fairly similar. There are elements of supernatural concepts that specifically revolve around a form of afterlife, ambiguity surrounding the existence of a god and, unfortunately, similar pacing issues.
Both include the concept of living in a world where no one dies and the way they deal with emotional and drama scenes may share same qualities as the story builds-up. Main protagonist is also female. The feel of music and animation may remind the similarity of the message of its anime.
The same exact plot of having people living in some kind of "virtual world", while the main crew keeps rushing toward knowing the truth about it. Full of philosofy and drama
[May contain some spoilers]
Both series:
~ take place at a world where is no life or death
~ main character wants to bring peace to the dead
~ have an ending you won't predict
Both series' are in a mystery, drama with a plot twisting ending, that WILL leave a question behind after finishing the whole series.
Angel Beats' main male protagonist traits are can be seen in Kami-Nichi's main female protagonist.(the particular one is "helping others no matter what") and both animes have a impressive art and OST.
Both series' story revolves around God, which in both anime, depicts God as the one who abandoned them or given them a unfortunate life.
Same theme of death and afterlife. Both have a similar theme of finding peace in order to move on. Both have eccentric characters and a changing story line that leads to the main climax
These two anime may have quite a different plot, but I felt the vibe they gave off to be the same. Aside from the vibe, I think both have a story that contains humor, (though Little Busters! has more humor in it than Little Busters: Refrain.) drama and a beautiful deeper meaning. Be sure to keep a box of tissues nearby, though, because you wouldn't be the first one to cry your eyes out.
Both Key works Little Busters being a VN adaption and Angel Beats being an anime original. Jun Maeda wrote both Angel Beats and Little Busters. It's very hard to explain without spoiling both shows, but they both share many of the same themes and motifs.
-Both surely make you cry, and have stories that are almost the same.
-Both are about how hard it is to depart with friends after involve in some accidents and are about friendship and companions.
-Both show us how important and wonderful one's life is.
-Both are about saving their friends and protect them and content the task where you need to complete it in order to discover the secret of the world.
-Both take place in school and show us how important friendships and best friends/childhood friends are.
-Both have a very touching story and show us that we need to fight for it in order to become stronger.
-Both show us how much pain they struggle and even went into despairs. Both show us how much they treasure their friendships.
-Both show their cooperation and how they overcome hardship in order to save their precious friends.read more
- Both anime make you cry
- Both show us how important and wonderful one's life is.
- Both anime saving friends and how important friendship
- Story Epic & comedy very funny
Good Characterization :)) The story all revolved about another world, where it has been created by such strong will :)) Lots of drama and twist and story, same plot and made me cry like an idiot :) better to watch it :)
Though I would never recommend skipping the first season of Little Busters, this second season is what made the series worthwhile. In Refrain, the main plot finally begins to unfold and takes on many characteristics of Angel Beats. This is mainly a result of the growing supernatural phenomena. Both play with themes including death, school life, past grief, acceptance through companionship, and loss. Both shows are set in an abnormal and ominous world that the characters don't quite understand.
Refrain had a previous season to develop characters, where Angel Beats had 13 episodes to do so. That being said, there are still tremendous parallels within the two groups. For example, each show has the meat-headed fighter, the quiet disciplined one, the leader, and the protagonist who has to step up and break the cycle. Understandably, Angel Beats is faster paced and more action-oriented, where the Little Busters series has a bit more character depth and build up. However, on a conceptual level, you probably can't get closer.read more
Both are from the same creator, but LB is so ignorated because of his 1st season, which is a bit painful to watch. But like Angel Beats, the best part is in the end. One of the very few animes that I reccomend to watch the 1st season (Little Busters!) only to enjoy the 2nd one (Refrain). Really worth it. If Angel Beats did make some tears in your eyes, I think Little Busters will also get the job done.
Both series take place in and around an abnormal school, with its students trying desperately to understand their situation with deaths taking place pretty much constantly. In Angel Beats! death is cheap (and impermanent), but Another plays for keeps.
Both deal with the theme of death
Both have a quiet girl who is at first portrayed as the enemy, yet the protagonist in each series cannot help being drawn to her.
The main purpose why I've chosen to suggest you watch Angel Beats is because these 2 anime really have a lot of common; characters' setup, atmosphere, etc. I mean, when you are watching it, you feel the same tranquility, though Another has some elements of mystery, horror... But, let's get back to the main matter; if you really liked Another( I think that I'm absolutely right), you must see Angel Beats because these two anime are masterpieces and, AB is even more wonderful than Another.
These two anime series are similar at the start. A girl is somewhat lonesome, and a guy goes and talks to her even when the others tell him that he shouldn't do so, which eventually leads to a chain of events that the protagonists would need to risk their lives to stop. Very similar but completely different storyline each with their own deep meaning, which are very fitting to the story.
A boy new to the area is welcomed by a group of people and are befriended by them. A girl that everyone pretends she doesn't exist, isn't seen by anyone. The boy befriends the girl and his friends wouldn't allow a dead person to be friends with the boy.
If you enjoyed the mystery involved in Another then Angel Beats! has a very similar idea. Both have very similar character designs and contains a bit of the same kind of violence to it, but less gory.
You have to give it to them : The sad backstories for characters are well done in these. Main difference is that it gets better in Angel Beats. In Another, it doesn't.
A young protagonist finds himself in an unknown school setting, where he meets a bunch of somewhat unusual people. He also gets attracted to a girl he's supposed to avoid, which results in, to say the least, some unexpected occurences. Keep in mind these two are far different from each other in terms of tone.
Paranormal school. Angel Beats and Another follow unknowledgeable MC who has their lives changed drastically due to the school they are associated with.
Angel Beats follows a dead Otonashi who had been transported to a school in the afterlife, in this time, he joins Yuri and the SSS in their quest to find god and take revenge against him. Another is the same in that Kouichi is a new transfer student of Yomiyama North, during this period, Class 3-3 slowly beings to show its true self and the dangers that lurk within it.
With both anime brought to you by the studio P.A. Works, with the edition of two class-rejected kuudere MCs Angel and Mei alike. AB brings forward a joyful comedic anime. With Another on the flip side to give a dark mystery horror.read more
In both series the main characters are trapped in a world where they would rather not be in. They try to resist and fight this world in order to regain their freedom. This is why I would recommend watching both series if you liked one of them. Both of them also involve a love story
Death plays a major role in both shows. In Angel Beats! everyone is trying to atone for their past lives in purgatory while in SAO, everyone is fighting for their lives in order to make it back to the real world.
In both stories, the protagonists are stuck in an alternate world in which they have to live in, compared to Angel Beats, Sword Art Online takes place inside a video game.
I don't even know where to start with attempting to recommend Sword Art Online. The series is great, while it's in an outside reality and guilds take place- SOA, much like Angel Beats will have you liking some characters more than most and you'll probably be caught off guard and start feeling a little emotional like with Angel Beats.
Sword art online is something I dropped half way through season 1 because of certain *events* but honestly Angel Beats is shorter and still is amazing, I've never laughed so hard at an anime before, while still having a sense of dread as the backstory of the characters is dark and is a main part of the plot as just like in Sword Art they are stuck in a game/like Limbo (Purgatory) and are fighting against the schools master. One of the best anime's that just keeps taking everything you thought you know and flipping it onto the floor before reforming it into a bigger picture. Amazing anime and worth the time.read more
Both have great stories, are very emotionally charged, and have similar feels. Mahou is much darker in the bulk of the episodes, while Angel Beats has more comic relief, but both are powerful anime that I highly recommend.
both have an ideal of universal happenings, in some sort of another, both contain action that is relevant and meaningful, but they also leave you with an eerie feeling towards the end, and somewhat through both of them
Both involve a group of characters fighting against some kind of force until they reach a bittersweet end to the story.
Madoka is about girls who face death, and Angel Beats is about kids who want to stay dead together.
Both have a pretty cheerful and bright start but as time goes by things do start to get darker and a focus on friendship and some spunky female leads too.
Termination. Although Madoka Magica and Angel Beats don't share many similarities, it is similar to its characters Angel and Homura.
Both Angel and Homura both try their hardest to stop a force from committing their actions. AB has Angel stop the SSS from causing havoc, PMMM has Homura stop Kyuubey from letting Madoka become a magical girl.
AB is a joyous comedic anime with supernatural elements, with PMMM being a great dark, despairful, psychological magic anime.
They are both one season anime's and both have heart breaking stories. They are both fantasy-esque anime that will get you thinking about it for days afterwards. I thoroughly enjoyed them both. Highly recommended
There's one thing and one thing only, "Everything is not what it seems."
Though Angel Beats does already appear as not innocent (others may think different, but to me it didn't look innocent), It has a similar way to twist their stories. Angel Beats does not include much magic itself but the world itself is just magical. Nobody there is still alive, which leaves surprising ways for them to twist the storyline. Have fun watching and surfing anime/manga to anyone reading this.
Seems like they're at a school type of setting trying to get over some sort of past they had to move on and live life. Each character has some unique personality or past that is gone over and also has a story to go with them.
The dark theme, the romance between some characters, Grisaia no Kajitsu really gives a wave of Angel Beats! back to me, since I haven't cried on a 13-episode series since Angel Beats! Beautiful anime, also they reflect alot about death and what there is after it.
During the first few episodes of Grisaia no Kajitsu, these two shows didn't seem to have any similarities. But as the story went on, I found they were quite alike. They depict how a past tragedy changes the characters' whole lives. And our protagonist helps them to accept their fate. Moreover, they both have a special school as setting, mild animation, and decent music composition.
~ Both feature a mysterious male protoganist joining a school
~ The school is filled with people with troublesome/dark pasts, including the MC
~ The MC tries to help everyone overcome their pasts
~ Both feature random spurts of comedy
2nd half of Grisaia no Kajitsu reminded me a lot of Angel Beats. Both series talk a lot about death and how people behave when they are on the brink of death. Both series feature characters who carry deep regrets after (they believe) causing the harm to their friend or family.
Whereas Angel Beats is about purgatory, where every character in the story has already died, Grisaia no Kajitsu is about near-death experience, where characters come out of scenarios where they are the only surviving person. These issues are explored thoroughly from the 2nd half of Grisaia no Kajitsu all the way through to the two sequels.read more
The main male protagonist helps each one of the main characters to get over there tragic past and ends up solving their problems. The tragedies are also very similar to that of Angel Beats.
Each of the characters has their own personal story, and the series uncovers them one by one. They are much darker backstories than those of Angels Beats though
A life in high school as problem solver! The main character gets a second chance in/after their life. In his new life in high school, he makes friends fast. He's focused on solving his friends' problems.
- Both are composed of slice of life genre, with high school setting
- Both involves the preciousness of memories, how fragile and beautiful they are
- Both are spiced up with a bit of romcom
- Both has a bittersweet ending that leaves you crave for more
- Both brings life lessons on how actions can leave impact on others
- Both touched on memories and regret
In both of these series the protagonist gets an opportunity to re-evaluate their lives in a high school setting and both series have a sad twist to the ending.
Reforge. ReLife and Angel Beats both follow individuals who want to reforge what had been a loathing life ahead of them. Breaking all kinds of natural laws the stories scroll out how these characters will change in a time of high school.
ReLife does this with Kaizaki taking the ReLife experiment in order to retrieve lost values and get a job right after. Angel Beats uses Otonashi and his experience with the SSS and their wants in getting revenge on God for their horrible lives.
Both are good anime with comedy to add to them. Though AB has more action compared to a chiller s.o.l ReLife is.
Both deal with the idea of teenagers who are dealing with forms of regret or emotional struggle, but through the help of the protagonist, they attempt to resolve the issue through means of reflection and emotional support.
Both have highly emotional endings. Relife has an amazing cast and main characters. Emotional roller coaster of an anime but easily my favourite romance/ slice of life by far, give it a try!
Definately not the same story line but they're both comedic in the beginning and once it gets towards the end, they both get pretty sad and/or dramtic.
Both of these shows have tsundere leads, though it takes Yuri longer to soften. There's laughter along the way, adorable moments, and moments when it looks like everything will fall apart. Still no matter how hard Toradora! tries to convince you it's only funny or Angel Beats! that it's only serious, there's a gooey center in each of these shows that left me with a smile. :)
Angel Beats is similar to Toradora! because they are both classified as romance animes that we all want to see more of. They are also similar because the two main characters in each anime start out as somewhat enemies but come to see that they want the same thing and end up falling for each other in the end.
Both animes are romance comedy and are really good and properly develops each character. And the end of animes they are heartwarming and sad but in a good way.
Both stories started with comedy but as time goes by both developed into quite dramatic and romantic theme. However Toradora has good character development than the other but still if you saw one of these its highly likely that you will like the other one.
Secrets involving the main female protagonist, but the theme of death run through both. Both use very similar Gothic styles with only slight differences color wise, but there is an emotional pull regarding the characters. The series get very dark, and very emotional, but doesn't dive in full blown right away.
While these two might not have a lot in common at first glance (other than that they're both set in school and are about people, optionally living ones, lol), these two anime get surprisingly similar within the last 1-2 episodes. It's near impossible to explain this sufficiently without spoilers, so I'm just going to say it like this: if you've seen either of the two, the ending of the other will feel fairly familiar and be an equally big feels-trip.
In an abnormal high school setting, the dead, with unfinished business, attempt to remember their life, how they died and try to move on. Both series have heavy supernatural elements, light romance and EXTREMELY similar endings; but Angel Beats has a larger ensemble of characters and more comedy, while Dusk Maiden is a little darker and focuses more on the two main characters.
Kinda similar in some ways:
includes some sort of relationship with boys and girls carrying out a gun in school grounds and fighting against one another for some certain reasons. It's comedy and enjoyable to watch! Great animations as well
Lots Of Action And Alot Of Guns, Both Very Well Made Series.
(Hidan No Aria's Ending Suggests A Second Season But Unfortunatly It Will Not Happen, Neverless It's Still Worth The Watch)
Both have swapping between drama and comedy at a fast pace. Both have similar girl main interests.
A stretch, but anyone who enjoys one can probably enjoy the other.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanajo is a very sweet, enjoyable, funny series with an amazing cast of characters. The art for the show is also very beautiful. In these ways, it relates to Angel Beats! They are both very fun, lovable series that anyone who has some time should definitely check out. You'll get a good laugh out of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanajo and it will probably give you some emotional moments. However, if you're looking for a show with the same action as Angel Beats, this is not the show for you for it is more a good story and a comedy than an action-packed, exciting series. read more
if you loved sakurasou, you will love angel beats.
except the bloody scenes and the fightings.
Tachibana Kanade is very similar to Shiina Mashiro, they both are "feelingless" and i found the same excitement in both animes.
- Slice of life with high school settings
- Characters come to terms with their true feelings, understand more about themselves and others
- You might cry at the end for the beautiful of the friendship
Both of the anime gives departure a meaning with memories, but it's also shown that departure is not the end, it's a new beginning.
Our time with the eccentrics. Angel Beats and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou show what life is like with a bunch of eccentric misfits.
Despite plots varying, Angel Beats and Sakurasou both have similar MCs with Otonashi and Sorata behaving a kindred manner, wherein they are both the 'sane' people of their respective groups. The same is with Angel and Mashiro, both being classed as the kuudere character. As time passes both MCs being to develop understandings of their respective peer as well as those around them.
Both are well-made slow romance comedies all in a school setting. Though AB being supernatural in contrast to Sakurasou's slice of life world. read more
In both, we enjoy the daily life of the characters without any problem, the comedy and dramatic scenes, but in the end, we have to say goodbye to all this routine and it is a little difficult.
Beautiful animation, a lot of good characters, colourful, drama, comedy, daily life, and adventures of the characters in it.
They give out the same feeling. They both have really good somewhat crazy humor moments, and touching moments, too, while the overall plot is poor and one can hardly speak about the whole anime story development. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and Angel Beats are similar in this: they're not your usual episodic anime and it seems like there's a story that progresses from one episode to another, but in reality it's only a ghost of the story that only takes place to move the anime on and to connect those funny and sad moments. And it'll be fair to say those moments are nice to your eyes.
And yeah, as it was already mentioned in other recommendations, both these anime play with the undead theme.read more
The amounts of laughter that both series tries to engineer is something to take notice if you plan on watching both series. And yes, that means comedy and entertainment.
Of course, both series contain supernatural elements done in a fun way as well as drama. There are also seriousness in both series mixed in with the characters. And speaking of characters, both MC are technically "dead" for different reasons. It is from this point in that he makes interactions with other characters.
All in all, if you're looking for a series with hilarious comedy but also has touching drama at different degrees, then these two anime(s) are something to keep an eye on.read more
Both stories are based around death.Both main characters spend the majority of the story dealing with trying to figure out how their in a such a confusing situation.Angel Beats is more of a Action and Shigofumi is more of a Mystery.
Death is a regret. Angel Beats! and Shigofumi share similarities of students who are in relation to someone dead becomes a regret to said person's life.
Angel Beats! follows Yuri and the SSS in their revenge against god due to the horrible lives they have lived because of him. Shigofumi is about students who are connected to someone dead, end up with regrets because of that person's death, and their actions because of so.
While Angel Beats! is a light-hearted action-comedy based in school. Shigofumi is a dark psychological thriller.
The Day I Became A God and Angel Beats are two anime created by Jun Maeda of Key (a company known for Kanon, Air, Clannad, and Little Busters) fame and produced by P.A. Works. Both anime are about a boy who meets a girl who says some remarkably weird things as they meet, only to find out that some of what she says may have some truth in it after all. Don't let its fast-paced comedy and the whimsical slice-of-life activities the characters participate in fool you into thinking feels aren't included though. Also, both Ashura and Hinata are voice acted by Ryouhei Kimura and seem to have somewhat similar personalities.read more
God. Though this is a minor similarity used in various ways, the acknowledgement of a God type character used in both anime as a driving force to motives and plot.
AB does this with the MCs having the sole mission to defeat God for the lives they had, Kamisama does this with Hina and her omnipotent knowledge of everything to happen. There are also characters who have a god complex in both.
Both are good anime with comedic and sad scenes made by the same creator Jun Maeda.
If you liked Angel Beats it's only natural for me to recommend you «The day I became a god». It is indeed by the same studio. Overall, I would say that the vibe is pretty similar,a lot of humor, a lot of just pretty scenes and you know that at the end you will cry like a baby. The plot is really original and also includes a god aspect we saw in Angel Beats. Just like the other serie, it's divided in episode that contains a short story that isn't necessarily related to the main story, but have their importances. In general both show are similar for my point of view, and the feeling they left in me is extraordinary. Kamisama ni Natta ni, for me, was better than Angel Beats. read more
Both anime involves a guy who helps other girls while at the same time dealing with his own. Both main male protagonists suffer from memory loss although 1 just forgot his time in the city years ago while the other has an almost complete memory loss. Both main male protagonists eventually regain their memories as they help others.
Both recommendations are from Key. I love this animes because the history it's very good, so amazing. I cried a LOT with this two series. And well, all the animes from the Key has got the sames messages:
Dreams, love, friends, and a lot of aims.
Aims: All the aims can be complete with a lot of working, force (and, sometimes with a little support from your friends!).
I really love this two animes (I love more animes, but this two animes are very special), and I really recommend it. (All the animes from Key are good animes too! <3)
Pretty much the same. The drama is there, same creator, both have awesome plot and are totally worth watching. If u enjoyed one of them you will deffinetly love the other.
Although Angel Beats has more of an impact compared to the other, and also it has much deeper plot (in some parts anyway).
Kanon and Angel Beats are two somewhat-slice-of-life anime made with the involvement of Key, the visual novel company well known for dramatic stories about a male protagonist helping various female characters with their problems. Along with that aspect, similarities between these two anime include memory loss, tragic backstories, action scenes (more prevalent in Angel Beats though), friendship, making others happy during sad times, et cetera. Angel Beats is shorter and more better paced in my opinion though.
Anime ini sangat saya rekomendasikan buat kalian yang suka dengan anime yang bergenre romance atau juga yang suka dengan anime yang membuat kita sedikit berfikir untuk bisa memahami jalan ceritanya. OK.. Mungkin itu saja yang dapat saya rekomendasikan buat kalian kali ini.. #Salam_Agent_Esa
I highly recommend this anime for you who like the anime genre of romance or also those who like the anime that makes us a bit of thinking to understand the story. OK .. Maybe it's just that I can recommend for you this time .. #Salam_Agent_Esa
Angel Beats! and Kimi no Na wa share characteristics that are qualities in both works: plot with a tone of mystery, but a little comical and dramatic in the ideal measure to keep the narrative focus, along with a soundtrack that conveys the past feelings of the characters for those who are watching and ending with the light atmosphere of a supernatural theme.
They have the same aspect of trying to live a normal school life even though the circumstances are what they are. The shows are comedic but also serious when needed to be.
Both series share a similar style in theme and direction and an under lying plot that is emotionally heavy. They also share the same mix of character development, action, & romance throughout the series.
The main character gets to meet the other people in a town/ school. Then comes a series of flashbacks from many characters. Finally comes cliffhanger ending. That's how i would describe the overall plot of these two similar series.
As you might have figure it out, but both series are made by the same producers. Which concludes that they have similar arts, and a mix of action and romance.
To wrap up both series, the ending will leave you in tears, without a doubt.
Pretty much the same. The drama is there, same creator, both have awesome plot and are totally worth watching. If u enjoyed one of them you will deffinetly love the other.
Although Angel Beats has more of an impact compared to the other, and also it has much deeper plot (in some parts anyway).
Air and Angel Beats are two short slice of life anime made with the involvement of Key. Both anime have notably sad plots and are about a group of characters with dark/sad pasts, and have probably the most saddest endings in all of anime (no joke). Alongside with its saddening parts, there's a couple of jokes here and there to lighten up the mood, which is especially more present in Angel Beats.
Both of those series possess a tragedy ending, and both deal at some point about hospitalization. While Angel Beats deals with the replacing of an heart, Sola deals with one of the main characters in an hospital.
I know you love watching tragic romance if you've watched "Angel Beats". So I'll recommend you to watch "Sola". Both anime tells the meaning of love, friendship, and the hardship between life and death. :D
At first, these two shows may not appear to have much in common. However, after watching, you realize that both shows have clubs and some fighting. There are also girls.
Both have girls using weapons of sorts, what more can ya ask for? Oh ya, did I mention they both have clubs and some fighting using said weapons cause there's that too.
Angela Beats is the more shounen friendly version of Elfen lied. WHY!? there are no similarities! Yes there is. Both AB and EL have the same core when it comes to the characters.
Both have Characters that either had or are having a SHITTY life. a life of pain and suffering, and those charathers are fighting for just one little bit of happines.
Are you a fan of Drama? you have to watch both animes. They are not the typical drama, they mix gore (Elfen Lied) and comedy (Angel Beats) , but they don´t forget to make you cry T^T, if you are a person able to cry and to try new things you will enjoy both of this animes.
Revenge. It may seem like a strange connection, but Angel Beats and Elfen Lied focus a lot on revenge for a being(s) that has given the MCs an excruciating life.
AB follows dead students who take a plan to get revenge on God, for the tragic life they have obtained from God. Elfen Lied, follows diclonius Lucy who has been oppressed and experimented by humanity for who she is. Later on in both anime, they also both use romance as a way to help troubled individuals in the world find the correct path in life.
Both are good action anime showing the lengths people take because of what has happened in the past. AB being more comedic than Elfen Lied's serious psychological nature.

Both these Anime feature girls kicking butt despite the odd situations they find them in. Both Anime push the boundary of "willing suspense of disbelief" and yet the viewer still finds themselves believing what is going on could possibly happen in another reality.
Has a similar high school setting and it has high school kids fighting over something not really important. Both are good shows if you're looking for a good laugh with some plot.
Both have a guy who is suddenly thrown into a battle and a strong girl who leads/teaches them how to survive.Angel Beats is more dark where as ben-to is more like a comedy.
The action intensity is pretty much the same in both anime—the art as well. The plot of Ben-to isn't as dramatic than Angel Beats, but it's pretty close from different angles.
Both series are about the MC joining up with a group of rebels to fight against authority. Both series also have the MC getting to know the members of said group, where you learn about their backstories and whatnot.
The settings are completely different, but I still got the same vibe from both shows. Akame ga Kill is a lot more violent than Angel Beats though.
Rebellions. Angel Beats and Akame ga Kill are both good anime about a group of rebels fighting against some force the hate.
AGK's Night Raid fight against the Empire and their reign of oppression, while AB's SSS fights against Angel, with the objective of fighting against god for the horrible lives that they have given to them before their current habitations in the afterlife.
Both are good action anime with AGK being a dark fantasy about war and conflict, whilst AB is a more lighthearted comedy, about why you should value your life despite all the bad times that have occurred.
Dead teenagers trying to achieve their dreams even though they are already dead.
Solving traumas from when they are still alive with their friendship.
There are music and singing too
Two series that might make you question what you are watching after the first few episodes but eventually pull you in and you just go along with it. Both of these anime focus on groups of teenagers that are already dead. Additionally to that there are three main reasons these two series give a somewhat similar feel:
1. The comedy of the two shows is similar at the times. It is often related to the fact that characters cannot die because they are already dead. Both also include situations that might seem ridiculous and over the top but end up being very fun to watch.
2. Music has a role in both of these anime to some degree. In Zombieland Saga the main characters are an idol group while some characters in Angel Beats are part of a band. However the former puts much more focus on this than the latter.
3. Tragic backstories of characters are included. Angel Beats puts more focus on this aspect than Zombieland Saga but both of them get quite emotional. read more
The series share a similar doom and gloom attitude which leaves the viewer hoping for a better future, but whether the better future comes would provide spoilers. Specifically, there is this fight for one’s life going on, yet this normality that contradicts this fight which the characters find themselves needing to balance out.
Both Relate on going to a place that look pretty normal but it's not so normal when you have to fight to survive. and both made a mistake about everything they have done and tried to fix it to make it all right
Both are Actions where the main character is suddenly thrown in a new world and has to fight to survive.Both had a girl who was the leader of the group trying to stay alive and both guys were clueless why they were in this world.11 eyes has more horror while angel beats has more drama in it.
Both Have Like That Same Vibe / Feeling even though one is about zombies and one is about dead kids and their life. U get the feeling that like the group is fight against everything else and like stick together with lots of comedy =D hotd has more eechi though.
Both are story of survival. In, Angel Beats! they fight to survive so that they will not disappear from the afterlife while in Highschool of the Dead they fight to survive from the creepy undead zombies. You can say that they are both gore and have unexpecteed endings.
The art work is very similar and it also has to do with untrained kids dealing with weapons for separate insane reasons. Angel Beats is definitely the greater of the two taking out the ecchi elements in HOTD and replacing it with very intense drama but HOTD concept is very imaginative and is actually very hard to pull off when it comes to zombie apocalypse as it never truly has an ending just ask the people who made RESIDENT EVIL
I just finished watching highschool of the dead and it was amazing!! I noticed that both anime have very different conflicts and yet they were so similar because neither group of people in both animes knew what was happening to them. I'll get straight to the point. If you liked one of them you will definitely like the other in terms of action, romance, and supernatural/ a slight mystery aspect in both! The only major difference that I saw in them was the ecchi. As far as I can remember I don't recall much ecchi in angel beats but both have a sort of comedy relief at times and are very serious. Good luck with your anime watching👍read more
They both have a group of kids in an exaggerated school setting (one school in the afterlife and one school that has students battle). They're both comedies and both have some romance in them as well. Angel Beats is a little softer on the romance and comedy, and more emotional and deep as well. It really pulls you into the story. Baka to Test on the other-hand is a slapstick comedy that will have you laughing to yourself twenty minutes after you've finished watching an episode. The romance is balanced in well so that you end up loving many of the characters to boot.
I relate these two because Baka and Test gave me the good feeling of how it was like to be in High School but Angel Beats gave me the Bitter-Sweet feeling of having to leave. It really leaves you sad at the end, but its definitely a must-watch.
Both have similar elements of humor as well as a focus on high school life. Both anime, while not being exactly the same, have similar characters designs as well (Baka to Test's designs are a little more chibi-ish). In edition, there is a great emphasis in both anime on the idiocy of the characters (though it's brought up much more in Baka to Test).
Both anime take place at a school in which the main character group can challenge others to battles. Angel Beats limits the combat to only against Kanade, and BakaTest has it against all the other classes, but both the characters from the SSS and class 2-f will make you laugh as they go throughout their many plans.
Both are really funny at the beggining and throughout the series. But they both make you feel sad at the end. But Ouran isn't as sad at the end as Angel Beats! is.
Both of these show have a similar type of comedy. They are both mainly character driven, with characters that are either stereotypes or brake the stereotype. While Angel beats is on the heaver side, there are episodes of both shows where it is just fun being with the characters.
Both have an overload of characters, but to make up for that, they actually are lovable, and the humor is solid.
Oh, and both make you cry in the end, but for different reasons. Ouran because it ended, Angel Beats because it was sad.
Death - can one have a second chance at life? Or is life lost forever? Both series delve into similar constructs in different manners, yet are emotionally drawing fro the viewer.
They are simular because it deals with peoples dying, and being trapped in another world, due to suicide, or hateful feelings toward god and lived a horrible life. In both animes, they both are given another chance to live and try to accept their lives. I really like both of these animes because they give you a warm feeling while watching.
Afterlife, purgatory, righting your wrongs, those are the themes for both of these anime. Though Angel Beats starts as a comedy and gets serious only in second half while Colorful is a drama the whole time, if you like these themes you might still want to give those two a try.
-Both about fighting in order to survive or be safe.
-Both are very touching story with little bit of romance.
-Both story surely make you feel like wanna cry.
-Both has a very nice and touching song that surely make you fall for it.
-Both are about teamwork and friendship.
-Both story shows that everyone has their own past that has been kept secret all the way.
-Both story shows the sadness and the difficulty when departing with your friends or someone you treasure the most.
-Both of the main character did met up in the end of the story.
-Both has a peaceful ending and all the character continue to live their own normal usual life.read more
While they might not seem like it at first, there are a few things that are similar between the two.
1. One of the main characters has a hard time knowing whether to join up with the group at the start.
2. One of the other main characters (the other gender from the character described in number 1) is an anti-hero of sorts, but moreso in KnK.
3. Both are quite heart-wrenching by the end of the anime.
4. They will both leave some questions lingering in your mind at the end.
5. They both have an amazingly hilarious filler episode (Angel Beats isn't part of the main series though). You should not skip over them.
6. At a later point in the anime, the protaginists fight of a massive horde of monsters which split apart the main group.
Trust me, both are good animes.read more
Beyond the Boundary and Angel Beats are two somewhat divisively received anime that is both action-packed and follows the daily life of various characters, all while having a somewhat supernatural setting. The male lead in both anime cannot die and finds himself interacting with the girl who gave him a painful impression upon their first meeting. With a couple of laughs mixed in emotional and active scenes, people who liked one of these anime will likely try out (and maybe like) the other.
Both are about a school club and have mystery elements. Like Otonashi the mainchar in Hyouka is not very interessted in this club and trys to avoid it.
Both are about a group of students who try to figure out the mysteries surrounding the school,and both main charcthers dont particulary want to help. Hyouka is much more of a Slice of Life while Angel Beats is a action.
It has a high school setting and the main characters are teenagers...
But, this one is more creative, has more intelligent writing, there's a slower narrative that allowed to flesh out better the characters and the setting. Also, it has intellectuality on it, not a big one, but it has.
Plus, no fan service.
Both uses the combination of sociopathic comedy and anti-comedy as an entertainment.
Character dramatization are backstory reliant though tearjerking in sometime.
The OST of both series are almost the same.
Only difference is the themes and art-style, moe & anti-moe.
Would you love an anime filled with comedic jokes with yet a trainwreck of feelings soon to come? Well, if you are a fan of Gintama, Angel Beats is tailored for you (and vice versa). It is currently the Edo period and viewers are given an insight into the adventures of Gin-chan's Odd Job crew. With a memorable cast, valuable life lessons, and a balance of both serious and comedic arcs, Gintama has earned its respect amongst the anime community. In a similar, yet unique sense, Angel Beats follows the same formula. Our main character, Otonashi, has found himself in the afterlife, filled with young teenagers with lingering feelings of trauma, regret and remorse. After joining the SSS rebel group, he along with a group of friends strive to find "God" to ask why they were punished with such conditions. Just like Gintama, the show is filled with hilarious scenarios but heartbreaking stories as the protagonists inch closer to their initial objective. Both Gintama and Angel Beats contain strong life lessons that stuck to me as a viewer. I loved both shows and I hope you give them a try. :)read more
Both anime have good action, with guilty crown having some of the best fighting scenes I've seen in a while. Also both Angel Beats and Guilty Crown tend to be more serious anime with a little comedy thrown in. Both anime focus on the importance of relationships and both have great music! if you liked angel beats you will love guilty crown as well!!
Main Characters gets in with the Problem
Both Series have good music (in my opinion)
Everyone helps out to solve the problem
Although Guilty Crown is kinda like 2 seasons and Angel Beats is 1, You'll see how similar they are after you watch both
YOU WANT PHILOSOPHICAL AND SAD(ish) WELL THAN THESE ARE FOR YOU. In all seriousness both of these anime take on a philosophical topic (angel beats being fulfilling life and kiznaiver being bonds with others).
Both series are all about making friends and forging great bonds. Kiznaiver approaches this theme by having its characters connect to feel what other's are feeling so they can understand them more. On the other hand, Angel Beats has its characters understand each other to help each other achieve their dreams. By connecting with the others, they became closer to each other and understand not just others but also themselves.
Both shows also feature a kuudere, a silent and reserved girl who was seen by the other characters as someone not belonging to them, an outsider if you will. The MC is different though. He sympathize for her and share a relationship with her and with his help, that once distant girl opens up with them and becomes their friend. read more
They both share a similar characteristic of playing with your emotions, although Mirai Nikki has a much much stronger element of fear added in the mix. Both have strong plots and dark character backstories that become motives for their struggles. One could also argue that Mirai Nikki is a perversion of Angel Beats! since the participants are forced to fight each other to alleviate their live's sorrows instead of working together to overcome them.
Both fantastic comedies, made by the prolific Miyazaki-chan and his long time partner David Williams-dono. These two shows are both great to pick up your mood, especially after realizing Miyazaki, and David Williams did not work on these shows, but you can believe. Nothing wrong with these shows at all, if I have to say it, these shows are the best shows in the universe, quite possibly the world. 10/10
Personal tragedy, and overcoming or resolving it, seems to be the name of the game with these two anime. Angel beats more on how to overcome tragedy, Mirai Nikki more on how tragedy shapes us.
Start of an exceptional journey. Angel Beats and Shakugan no Shana starts in the exact same way with dead MCs being thrown into a situation mass fighting.
Both anime have their designated protagonists, Otonashi and Yuuji, deceased, beheld to a world of fighting against supernatural entities, in an untaught fashion. In AB it is a fight against god and Angel. Shakugan no Shana presents the fight of Flame Hazes against Crimson Denizens.
Both are great anime with a well-balanced mix of action, comedy and drama. All set in a school area.
Both are school life (more so for Kokoro Connect) animes with a deeper purpose. They will make you rethink your moral values and the protagonists are similar in the sense that they love helping people.
The feeling after the last episode is the same as when you finish Angel Beats but multiply it by about 2 xD They were both stunning Animes but SukaSuka takes the definitive lead !
All characters of both shows have a very tragic past that form, overall, very sad stories and lovely characters. The Post Anime Syndrome is strong with those ones as they mess up with our feelings a lot.
Both have a story which is based on romance and action. Although the romance takes the front seat and the action makes the story stronger. In my opinion Angel Beats! has handeled this balance perfectly when SukaSuka/Worldend could still improve a lot. But if you enjoyed Worldend you will love Angel Beats!
if angel beats combine action and sol/drama but you want some extra romance, then koi choco would be a great choice. since it combine sol/drama with a lot of love. but less action though...
If you like the school life kind of anime that's not really about school, these are the anime for you. Angel beats! is about the after-life while Koi-Choco is about an election, even with this difference, both have great dose of comedy and drama and has the same feel into it. The art and character design are good too. Watching these two will surely be a wonderful viewing experience.
Love, Election and chocolate & angel Beats both have actual scenes that romance genre fans love to watch.
They both have "down" times (I mean the sad times) and but personally I like Angel beat's story better, but I like the OP and ED for chocolate.
Both of them have a Group, and well The main character loved the other girl than the girl who likes him.
And well both series character got serious problems in their life
Both anime are connected to stuff happens after life, in Angel Beats a group are trying to find what do they truly desire in their life andKamisama is all about solving case that's related to people who no longer live in the world or at least don't know where they are.
And the main male protagonist in both show don't know what do they truly want or what they are doing in the start and both of them turns out to be someone awesome :P
The male protagonist is the newcomer of a group, which consists of awesome and likeable characters. Both shows just kinda have the same feel. Kamisama no Memochou doesn't really go into the backstories of different characters, but there are still really serious moments. And Angel beats is really touching, though it mostly shows toward the end. They're also both short and have a baseball episode. And they have a lot of the same dubbed voice actors.
Though KEY and Sunrise are two very different Studios, Code Geass and Angel Beats are similar in several ways. Both focus on a teen resistance group trying to defeat a force much more powerful than them, and both have that sort of bittersweet feeling that makes you happy and sad at the same time.
If you liked Code Geass for its deft mixing of genres, you may like Angel Beats!. Angel Beats! is not action-driven or filled with mecha like Code Geass, but, like Code Geass, it deals with complex characters and blurred lines between right and wrong. Every character has a story and a reason for doing what he or she does. Both shows have powerful, heart-breaking endings, and, while Angel Beats! is much lighter than Code Geass, both shows are moving, well-executed, and memorable.
Both anime deal with the theme of death along with having 'angel' charters. They are both very deep stories that rely on paying attention. Both stories have a very interesting cast of charters and charter driven story.
Full Moon wo Sagashite and Angel Beats are two TV anime that touches on themes of life and death. These shows will appear to be happy many times as there is a good amount of comedy, but there is also a decent amount of drama and characters end up reflecting on past experiences that are shown throughout the story. Music is also a key element, as characters who sing are present in both anime and the songs are really, really good.
-Both deal with characters regrets in life
-Both focus around a group of likeable characters in high school
-Both are full of tragedy and are known for their 'feels'
Both series deal heavily with the concept of regrets that cannot be changed
Both series deal with death and loss in a meaningful way
The animation style is quite similar
Both are 'feels' type anime
Both have a group of friends and lots of character-interactive banter that makes you like and root for the main cast
A team to fix regrets. Orange and Angel Beats follows a group of students who try and fix past regrets.
Although both anime don't have a similar plot, Orange uses time manipulation as one of their themes which relates to Naho and her friends saving the life of Kakeru who had passed away. Angel Beats brings forth a story which Yuri and the SSS try to get revenge against god due to their unsatisfying lives before they had died.
Both are great supernatural anime, with Angel Beats being for comedy tastes, and Orange focusing on the shoujo demographic.
It is similar because people are trapped in a school setting.
Also it has a person trying to "redeem" others.
Different is that angel beats is dead and caligula is alive
Both feature a locked in a school and they must find a way to get out and figure out why they were in this situation in the first place and both also had video games as well too.
Out of all the seasons of Little Busters, LB!:Ex is propably the most similar to Angel Beats, mainly because of the first "Arc" of Ex.
We have a girl fighting against some kind of force on the grounds of school, the main guy helping her out and then them trying to find something in the underground of said school - meanwhile trying to dodge several traps etc. The similarities go on like that but to keep this spoiler free I won't go into more detail on this - you know what I mean by Angel Beats and the first Arc of LB!:Ex being pretty similar anyway. The other seasons and arcs aren't just as obvious with their similarites but still, since both are tear jerkers with kind of over the top characters and supernatural elements, you might enjoy one if you enjoyed the other. read more
- Yuri Nakamura aka Yurippe (Angel Beats!) and Aya aka Saya Tokido (Little Busters! EX) have a same role. They are leading the team to finish the mission. In Angel Beats, Yurippe wants to beat Tenshi (Angel). In Little Busters EX, Saya wants to beat the leader of Darkness Executive.
- Both of them also have the same costume. They wear school uniform and mastered to use pistol gun.
- Yurippe and Saya Tokido have the same voice actress.
- Angel Beats! and Little Busters! EX have the same creator.
Similar characters and same voice actress: Nakamura Yuri & Tokido Saya (CV: Sakurai Harumi)
The setting of Angel Beats might originate in Tokido Saya's story in LBEX.
The artwork in these series are very much alike, and they both have a more complex story to them. They are both very sweet, though angel beats! has a lot more humor to it. Like them both very much!
Just because both Haruhi and Yuri both look the same and almost has the same personality. Haruhi has the SOS Brigade and Yuri has the SSS. What more you want?
High school boys, a crazy environment, a strong willed female protagonist, the world of Haruhi is pretty similar to the alternate world of angel beats. You will not have the feels that angel beats leave, but you will have the fun of a series of unexpected events that violate the law of physics.
Hells and Angel Beats are two anime that follow teenagers who have died and are now stuck in a strange afterlife high school. Angel Beats has a far more typical anime art style than Hells's literal sketchniess, but the comedy is often wacky and real shit that threatens everybody goes down in ways no one could have expected from the start. You might find yourself surprisingly touched by the interactions between a main character who is willing to have faith for other people and a mysteriously quiet yet very powerful character as well.
Although placed in rather diffrent settings, both anime are centered around self-made and rather unusuall high-school organizations, wich leads to some fights.
Both series innvolve a school club that is filled with a variety of entertaining, insane, and downright hilarious members. I'm certain if you liked Angel Beats you will find some enjoyment from Ookami-san.
They both have a male and a female main character, and the girl is pretty tough. While Angel Beats begins with Yurippe using a gun, Okami-san begins with Ryouko in a fight with her kitty knuckles. So they have somewhat similar beginnings. They both revolve around a group, which consists of likeable characters. They go into the backstories of a few of the characters (though Angel Beats is much sadder). They also both have great art. Both shows have comedy, some action, and some drama (though Angel Beats has more drama than Okami-san).
Romance delving into the intricacies of death and fate are features of both series, but both feature a purple tones color scheme through good parts of the scenes.
Both are really sad in the romantic and dramatic way....
If you like Romance and drama with some heartbreaking moments, you'll like this one!
Dissimilarity: Angel beats have action genre which HnTgNS don't have, Angel beats has 12 episodes and Angel beats are more focused on Comedy and The Action genre more than Romance but when The Romance is shown in Angel beats... you'll sheet tears.. (The last part with the genre was my own opinion ^_^)
Both with good character development and drama
Both with romance
In both the main character tries to help all characters
Both have some comedy scenes, but angel beats is a little more focused in drama
!!I'll try to leave as much spoilers as possible..!!
Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai depicts a story in which the main character experiences the 'Puberty Syndrome', where supernatural phenomenons kept occurring around himself and his friends where subconscious thoughts and wishes started turning into reality. The anime also illustrates a very beautiful and emotional love story between Sakuta Azusagawa and Mai Sakurajima.
Similarly to Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai, Angel Beats portrays Otonashi, a high school student who doesn't remember how he died or how he lived. He wakes up in Afterlife High School where he joins the SSS to battle Tenshi. Gradually, he begins to unravel the mysteries of Tenshi and the purpose of the Highschool.
I recommend this anime because they are both animes with mystery, supernatural occurences, beautiful romance stories, and plot which are similar to each other in the sense that it messed with my heart from deep inside with the beautiful story writing that left me feeling melancholic.
Note: I'd like to make a note to remind the viewers that a sequel to Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai exists. It is a movie which is well-written masterpiece that continues after the 13th episode of Season 1 and if you really love the anime, you should definitely watch it.

Few shows have ever touched up the human psyche. The feeling of emptiness even when lives goes on and continues. Life can be funny but it can also feel sad and alone. We laugh to keep our hopes up but never once do we dream of failure, but when it does, it's how we handle it that makes it matter.
In my opinion, Bunny Girl Senpai and Angel Beats have that feeling. These two shows borders the line between the comedic parts of life and the sad parts. Each character you get to know on a personal level, which matters considering the "why" they were even introduced to the show in the first place.
Some people in these shows have a "something". Without any spoilers, of course; these "something" let you know these characters on a more intimate level. See, life can be happy. But these characters feel like they're living life the way we live it, by persevering. Life can be a burden, not just because of the way our life is currently, but because in my personal opinion, even those we carried in our past hold us down. We idolize people, we look up to people, we even want to be like others. But life just doesn't follow wishes, it gives it to people when the time is right. Even happiness.
I think if you're looking for something that can pull your heartsrings while also giving you a good time, ala comedy via the communication and exchanges between the characters; these two anime can do it for you. Just be prepared, I guess. Because you might shed tears even before you know it.
PS: Ever wondered why we meet friends, why we get annoyed by them, but yet we stick by their side regardless of their shortcomings? Okay, just asking. Anyways, look these anime up! Highly recommend.read more
The charisma of this Anime is similar, but not the exact same. With Daisuke Niwas special side, it's including fun that makes Angel Beats! so special. The characters in general are similar.
The story is not comparable, all though the title seems almost similar.
Stories about a cheerful high school life of specific students clubs, with special condition. There's a mysterious gods that triggers the students' struggles to fight. Yuuki Yuuna was first opened with the mission to protect their God and world, while Angel Beats! was the opposite. Both has similar atmosphere of lighthearted, comedies, mysteries, and past dramas, but there's more bitter truth waiting for them as the stories progress...
Both are directed by the same director, hence if you watch them closely, they have similarities in term of direction styles and comedies. If these 12 episodes aren't enough for you, both also have light novel and visual novels to tell their and other characters' backstories.read more
The reason why Fullmetal Alchemist is similar is because they both have alot of action and some comedy in them.But they do also have there sad moments.When they are in a action like situation it will keep your eyes glued to the screenThere's always something interesting going on in these anime's,I think there fantastic and hope that you find them the same way as i do.
Both tackle the hardships of death
Both teach you the importance of life and what you have
Both are super funny
Both have one of the saddest scenes I’ve ever seen
Both have great characters with heartbreaking backstories
Both anime are focused on death, the unexpected, things left unsaid, and the jarring shifts in tone. How things can go from happy to sad at the drop of the hat, the brevity of things, how you don't end up getting to do everything you want to.
Ever contemplated about death? Well here's two tearjerking animes that would satisfy that thought. If you wonder what happens if you shoulder the weight of regret or guilt, and that it is left unresolved when you die, or the person that impacted those feelings on you is gone, then these are the perfect animes for you. Except Angel Beats is a series and it happens in the afterlife, while I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is before death. Both also has great songs ^_^ (btw take note that upon writing this review, I have NOT watched clannad lol). Both are in my top 10 favourite animes of all time (angel beats is my FAVOURITE anime of all time). have a gud day. sorry if review wasnt useful.read more
Though they start off very differently, the eventual idea of both series centres around a cast of characters with internal scars which prevent them from leaving the place they are trapped in. Angel Beats is more slice of life-ish while Mayoiga is more centred around mystery.
Both have many characters, focused on the lives of some of them, the characters whose lives were not happy, appear in one place, to let their wishes are fulfilled.
Bakemonogatari is the most classical representation of the last 5 episodes of Angel Beats. There is no visible difference between the two since they are both about helping others advance through their mental troubles.
Both shows deal with dark and supernatural themes and I think fans of Bakemonogatari would appreciate that Angel Beats!'s watch order is super easy compared to Bakemono. (Angel Beats! just has the 13-episode series, two OVAs, and a five-minute alternate epilogue.)
Both of these anime's an inspiring MC that meets a white haired girl who's both quiet and a little violent. They equally amusing comedy scenes, and the conclusion for both series is heart-wrenching and headache inducing (Meaning you'll be on the edge of your seat as your heart pumps too quickly and you get headache). So really, stop reading this recommendation and go watch Angel Beats (if you haven't, it's pretty famous you know).
Both start off very light hearted with some comedy and action but as the story developes it turns into a more serious and dark story.Both shows have major changes in the charcthers as they remember their past.I will say though Mawaru Penguindrum is alot more complex then Angel beats and can be hard to follow at times. But overall they're both great and they are both "must see" shows
Both start off very light hearted with some comedy and action but as the story develops it turns into a more serious and dark story. Both shows have major changes in the characters as they remember their past. They both are awesome and have intriguing stories that develop well.
Both of these shows are high school dramas which swing from comedy to blood shed. Also they can both get away with killing all of the main characters but not have them actually die.
Surprisingly I found a lot of resemblance while watching Angel Beats, the jokes, the set-in-school environment, these are very similar yet different... Both Angel Beats & D-Frag tend to focus on the comedy more than on romance, while also having a similar artstyle.
It is surprising that people here do not see the similarities between D-Frag and Angel Beats.
Both use a school setting but only as a background while following the shenanigans of the main cast.
Both have a male lead with orange hair, Kazama and Otonashi.
Both have petite loli love interests, Roka and Kanade Tachibana.
Both have a strong purple haired leaders of their clubs, Chitose and Yurippe.
Both have a strong focus on humor and are one of the funniest anime shows I have seen. But while Angel Beats follows its supernatural drama, D-Frag makes use of the slice of life genre and generally low stakes.
It really baffles me how nobody else thought of Angel Beats while watching D-Frag.
Some people even recommended Gurren Lagann. Like seriously, are you people crazy?read more
Love what you had. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Angel Beats! both follow students who hate what they have at first, and when given the power to try to change this life, they attempt so.
TokiKake is about Makoto's time travel powers used only to her convenience. AB is about Yuri and the SSS's revenge against God and Angel. These characters, however, go through a magnitude of events which bring them to understand slightly more about the life that once was.
Both are good romance anime with the misunderstood ironically ending up teaching the protagonists about what is good in life.
Fight against god. The Saga of Tanya the Evil and Angel Beats both follow MCs who had all an unpleasant death which has led them to take revenge against god.
In Saga of Tanya the Evil, Tanya, who used to be a salaryman, had died which had caused being X (god) to place Tanya as a weak child in wartime. Despite this, Tanya finds ways to defy being X and tries to take her revenge. AB works in the same way with the SSS fighting against god via fighting Angel, for their unsatisfactory lives.
Saga of Tanya the Evil is much hard-hearted action-military anime, with AB being for those who would enjoy a comedy-drama set in a school.read more
Both shows deal with teens locked in a purgatory-like state, each of them needing to come to terms with their scars and accept the future rather than cling to the past, rebelling against a cruel, unfair world.
Both series deals with the hardship of life and the unfairness of it all. We get to see many relationships blossom and see the power of friends. Prepare for saddness/tears! Overall awesome shows that are done far too soon.
Welcome to the NHK is one of those "slice of life" anime. It contains a very depressing yet comedic theme to it. Only reason I say its similar to Angel Beats is because you can get something about life from both Anime. Welcome to the NHK is a great series that has fantastic character development and a well developed plot. Like a said previously it has a lot of dark comedy to it. If you're looking for a anime that keeps you guessing and pays off at the end, Welcome to the NHK won't let you down.
This anime is about a Hikkikomori(someone cut off from society), Sato believes everything that happens is a conspiracy. Throughout the anime he is constantly looking for ways to resolve this conflict and always seems to mess it up. He has no job, no goal, no life really. That's why he seems to be going crazy at some points, all in all this anime is great and teaches you about what life is in its own way depending on what you uniquely take from it.read more
Both have angels, women beating the hell out of men, "death" of main character(s) just to be revived again, similar looking main character, and very funny.
Another more contemporary recommendation: Both anime take the concept of death lightly as characters keep dying but keep coming back to life, and more often than not die in brutal and bloody ways, especially in Bokusatsu. Both male main characters also have an "angel" usually at their side, that usually has a hand in their demise.
In both works, a boy enters into a world that is new for him. There is a melancholy feeling infused and in both cases, we are asked to ponder this question -- must we 'move on' even if we are perfectly comfortable in our present surrounding?
Nerawareta Gakuen is a movie with gorgeous visuals, but Angel Beats has a much better soundtrack. Both movies will make you feel a lot of feels.
Unconventional supernatural anime featuring high school students, pretty self-aware and with a similar feel overall. Nakamura Yuri and Haruhi are also similar characters, and both anime have slice of life segments that include a baseball episode,
The World Ends With You The Animation and Angel Beats are two action anime with an orange-haired boy as the main protagonist. He wakes up to find himself in an unfamiliar urban setting where the supernatural is very real and visible, and cannot remember anything other than his name. Then he's immediately asked by a girl with red/magenta-ish colored hair to join her in this world. Ryouhei Kimura also voices a character in both series. Expect some sadness—the original TWEWY game is a better experience than the anime though.
Both involve students doing unschooly things like going inside dungeons. There is also great music. They also involve reaching out to the truth. Smack me for the punnery if you will.
Both are supernatural action themed series with a ya cast and also lots of stylish visuals and art to look at as well too. And also figuring out what really happened and also otherworldy like setting as well too.
I know this is a strange way of looking at it but I see GANTZ as Angel Beats' mean spirited older sibling. How are they similar? They both deal with a protagonist who dies and suddenly arrives in an afterlife setting where they meet several other people. The objectives of the characters mirror each other (in GANTZ the characters want to leave the afterlife but in Angel Beats they don't want to pass on).
Tenshi of Angel Beats is identical to Momo of Shinigami no Ballad, both physically and mentally. Their role is the same, too: they have to bring children/teenagers souls to the heaven.
As AB! . This series reflects the problems of life on the brink of death, and a reflection arrives with each story. You can like it, just give it a try. Thank you for reading.
These two are among my favorites for "music-incorporated" anime. While in both series there is an emphasis of plot elsewhere from music, music nevertheless weaves itself into the fabrics of the story, producing a perfect, brilliant, interesting complement to the main storylines.
As I watched 86 I got Angel Beats vibes. For both of them, unlike most action anime the goal was not to resolve the problem but to take us on an emotional journey with the characters.
Both anime started with a huge cast of characters fighting for something as a group. Basically, the characters are part of some kind of military group (I know that Angel Beats is not military but they have guns and sharp weapons so I guess that counts). As the show goes on, characters slowly "disappear" from the show and they are even removed from the opening/ending credits. If you want shows that has the entire cast in the credits and slowly remove those who are no longer in the show, then these two are for you. :)
For some reason, I always compare these 2 a lot. Both have a huge set of characters, Angel Beats somewhat fails on this while Baccano succeeds. Both include comic relief breaks to make the pacing refreshing in the forms of T.K. and Isaac and Miria. If you love to see a big cast of characters go crazy, both are must see.
Both shows involve supernatural elements and as the plot progresses the audience finds themselves growing more and more fond of the characters as they are further developed. They both have extremely hard-hitting emotional moments involving these characters, and they both have very satisfying plots. In addition, both of these shows are masterpieces in my book. Definitely watch one if you have seen and enjoyed the other!
Hanayamata and Angel Beats are both TV anime where the main characters are a group of friends in an unofficial high school club. Many characters get episodes dedicated to themselves and there is a decent amount of fun mixed in with those feels. Angel Beats may be set in a fantasy high school, but it doesn't change the fact that both shows still have the same kind of vibe and friendship, all set with some nice music (and a rock band) and beautiful color choices.
Both of these Anime have parts of the animation that has bright colors and other times it gets dark but still maintains those bright colors. Both Anime are also about fighting for ones dreams and finding out a big secret.
Themes of memory and identity, being trapped in another world, computer programs, the sense of a larger plot not being fully explained... There are plenty of big differences between them, but both shows have these elements,and they're both very enjoyable in their own regard. A lot of thought seems to have gone into their concepts. Plus, the creators of Angel Beats! seem to have ambitious plans, so it may come to have the same kind of multimedia project kind of feel that .hack's been expanding on for so long.
Both series feature some kind of virtual world, Angel Beats takes place in some sort of virtual afterlife and .hack// inside an MMORPG. They both feature a main character who's lost his memories.
Similarities:
Both are written by Maeda Jun
Both mixed with emotions which can make you laugh, cry, or even be depressed
(lol I don't mean it)
Characters of both shows have supernatural powers where they attend special schools
Both Female MCs has the same colour hair
At first this may seem completely unrealistic, mainly because Angel Beats is far superior, but hear me out for a couple minutes.
-Both involve characters going back to confront their past to move on
-Both involve high schoolers in a fantasy world
-Both revolve around a group of friends
-Both hint at romance
They are done by the same studio of P.A. Works with a 12-year difference in when they're produced. Satoki Iida is a sound director for both series as well, hence some similarities in the OST and vibe from background music. Both series integrate music and performance into the plot and characters while touching on reincarnation from a previous life. In Angel Beats, all characters are in the middle ground of being reincarnated while Paripi Koumei has Kongming reincarnated within the first episode. Producing music is a passion for characters in both series, although in Angel Beats this applies to only a couple of characters for a couple of episodes while Paripi Koumei's entire series and cast focus on music. read more
If you liked the comedy in Angel Beats! you will likely enjoy Assassination Classroom. They both have teens trying to kill what they believe to otherworldly beings that they later form alliances with to take out the main threat. Aside from having very similar animation styles and lots of GUNS, they both have a similar formula of emotion+comedy to create an overall enjoyable experience. However the emotion in Ansatsu isn't as strong but the comedy is a lot better than in Angel Beats!. They're similar enough that you'll like them, but not so much that you won't be able to appreciate them for what they are.read more
Both involve main characters who are unable to die, but often randomly get maimed to the point where they would die, for no other reason than random comedy. Angel Beats!is a little more story and a little less humor (not by much) than Kore wa Zombie though. Both of the aforementioned main characters are also 'brought back to life' in a sense as well, with some sort of back story as to how they died.
Both series use concepts that are synonymous with other genres as allegories in a coming of age story. Both series also have similar senses of humour and end in similar fashions.
This two anime has an average beginnings which is common in anime industry.They get better at a similar pace by episode ratio of 1:2.The most fascinating thing about this two anime is that they have a decent ending and yet shows a new beginning for the Protagonist and his/her dear character and at end of there journey.
Both are post-apocalyptic stories centered around groups of people fighting to create their ideal world. Each very much has the "us vs them" mindset.
* Both are absolutely beautifully done and full of gut-wrenching emotions that will make you sob uncontrollably
Various moments of pure amusement, really funny scenes, and epic battles are the main similarities between Noragami and Angel Beats.
It combines comedy with drama and mystery.
In Noragami, the characters who are living an afterlife (just as on Angel Beats) and fight ghosts which haunt the city and corrupt souls.
Yato is a silly version of Yuri, who wants to keep peace and fight the evil, besides his bad past.
Some characters can't remember anything from the time they were alive, which is relatable with Angel Beats
The Two of Main Character With Same White Hair
Allen And Kanade Have Same Weapon,
Kanade Use Weapon Right Hand With Hand Sonic,
Allen Use Innocence , Left Hand With Crown Clown.
Allen and Kanade Can Playing Music With A Musician Piano,
And Same Energy When Allen Have Crown Belt to Protector Armored,
But Kanade Have Wing Angel to Fly Sky.
But Still Strong Kanade Than Allen,
But Allen Can Be Stronger If He Had Control Power Of Noah 14th.
It's Otonashi in a new form: I say this because the English Voice actor is Otonashi from Angel Beats! And during Episode 2, he says something that Otonashi would say and act, plus it feels like the English Voice Actor wanted it to be like Angel Beats, and I sense it when he voiced this show. If you miss Angel Beats, and wanted more, this is the show, and it's all thanks to Otonashi English Voice Actor.
Both have beautiful and similar characters.
Both have hilarious moments, and will make you cry at some moment.
Worth watching both if you like comedy and sad animes
I think that you will enjoy Angel Beats! if you liked Sakurada Reset. I cannot explain it because there are no obvious similarities, but the feel is definitely there. I think both shows have good balance of drama, romance, and elements of supernatural. After watching Sakurada it really reminded me of Angel Beats. Give it a try!
drama in grisaia no meikyuu and grisaia no rakuen (sequel) is pretty similar to drama in angel beats when the protagonist is stucked by rocks and hungry.
while each show has a different focus- stars align (tennis club) and angel beats! (afterlife) both share similar character development. characters have a darker backstory than is first appeared and the main characters helps them through it.
Scout. AB and BSD both feature a protagonist who is unlettered of the complicated surrounding they find themself in. With this, they are both forced to join this crew in their mission that needs every bit of help they can find from rarities as themselves.
AB does this with Otonashi joining the SSS in their quest to get revenge on God. BSD does this with Atsushi joining the Armed Detective Agency in policing against the crimes within Yokohama.
Both are good action and comedy anime with both having the slightest touch of romance.
Both of these animes use sound to strongly convey the feelings. While sound isn't the primary focus of Angel Beats, it helps to drive a lot of the emotions, just like in Vivy. If you're a fan of sad/bittersweet animes and a fan of a good soundtrack, both of these animes are great picks.
If you like emotional Anime, I really recommend 'Angel Beats', an anime series with beautiful courage, love, and friendship.
Otonashi awakens only to learn he is dead. A rifle-toting girl named Yuri explains that they are in the afterlife, and Otonashi realizes the only thing he can remember about himself is his name. Otonashi decides to join the SSS and battle Tenshi, but he finds himself oddly drawn to her. While trying to regain his memories and understand Tenshi, he gradually unravels the mysteries of the afterlife.
The theme is not really the same, but if you like animes with deeper story you might consider looking into this anime :3 I think it will move your heart too if you dedicate a little bit of your attention to it ~
This work really reminds me of Angel Beats!'s spirit. Although the plot has nothing to do, the kind of humour is quite similar (crazy, but not absurd). The characters are very charismatic and they have their own little trouble. Also, once in a while, this piece offers you some sad and dramatic moments.
The characters and their personal struggle is the main resemblance of these animes. They are made for you to appreciate them as they are, with their imperfections, dreams, and weirdness.
These 2 are similar just because of the fact that they are about fighting for something, for a brighter tomorrow. Black Bullet was a really nice anime(no, it wasn't the lolis who made it nice) and Angel Beats was a beautiful piece added to my anime collection. They are simply amazing and I am looking forward to series just like these 2
Harem romance (not ecchi but multiples girls around one male MC) in a paranormal/fantastic setting.
Same twist, except that Bunny Girl senpai doesn't bother to build it up properly.
The plots and characters aren't very similar at all. However, both animes have a similar sense of humor. If you were watching it for the comedy and liked it, you will probably like the other too.
To me, these are similar for the quality of their music, their animation, and their stories. Shelter might be a one episode story, but it still feels warm from the sadness that the main characters of both shows must feel when they think about their "end of the world" kind of past.
Both are anime that are mostly funny, but can and will probably hit your feels out of the blue. Though the situations are vastly different the vibes feels pretty much the same.
Also both made me cry like a kid.
Angel beats is about accepting death, The persona 3 movies (and the game aswell) also have a similar theme of accepting and living with death though persona 3 does go about it in a darker way.
Sora and Otonashi—young boys transported to another world. The difference is that the former is well-versed in the rules of that world, whereas the latter isn't. Of course, the real parallels come in when you consider that they both have lolis who are better than them at their job accompany them to victory, while at one point, they both also manage to turn an enemy, who happens to be a cute girl, into a loyal friend with useful powers.
While Angel Beats! sports more of a melancholic vibe to everything, being a Jun Maeda work, No Game No Life is much sillier and more exciting. However, what both of these series share in their narratives is that while the stories focus on defeating opponents, that is not what makes them as emotional as they are. No Game No Life is thrilling due to HOW the opponents are defeated, whereas Angel Beats! injects its antagonists with non-villainous motives to create nuance.
Both shows are also rife with plot twists and information reveals that change the whole game - no pun intended - into something much more than the protagonists previously thought. Obviously, I won't dive into spoilers, but it is due to these plot twists and reveals that the shows can continue being so compelling while maintaining the sense of relaxedness that makes them simultaneously casual. Angel Beats! is a bit more dramatic about it then NGNL, but I think it goes without saying that the twists and turns in NGNL are also incredibly thrilling.
Overall, both of them are very fun, very emotional shows that have a massive cult following. I loved them both, and I'm sure you will too, whether you watched NGNL or Angel Beats! first.read more
Both deal with moving on from the afterlife and presents death in similar ways. Though Angel Beats! is more serious and action oriented and Konohana Kitan is much more slice of life and lighthearted.
This is an odd recommendation, but both of these are hilarious without relying on cuteness or grossness. Grand Blue is humour for an adult audience while Angel Beats! has more tame jokes (still gut-busting though). If you've seen Angel Beats! are looking for something that is actually laugh-out-loud funny, then watch Grand Blue. If you've seen Grand Blue and are looking for hilarious comedy that is not gross (like the top Prison School recommendation), then watch Angel Beats! (just be aware that it is more dramatic and has an actual plot).
Both have a scene setting in a diffrent world from ours.
They also share the same atmosphere, that makes your eyes water at times.
They both have a mystery genre.
I enjoyed watching them both, and i hope you will too.
-Main character enters into a new world that they never knew existed (Angel Beats: world of those who died and cannot rest peacefully and Houkago: the existence of alien, space, and magic)
-Meet irreplaceable/memorable friends and shows you their pasts, their wish, and why they ended up in the position where they are now
-Both involves having to do a mission/a purpose
-Both the animes romance are very similar to each other
-Basically, both animes are very similar, but Angel Beats is more dramatic and dark. As for Houkago, it's more happy, yet depressing. It's not as deep as Angel Beats, but both are very great.
-If you like Angel Beat's plot, then you will like Houkago, as long as you are okay with magical girls.
-Angel Beats = darker, PG13 , but Houkago no Pleiades is meant for all agesread more
Both shows involves with being dead, unable to die and using guns and swords to fight. Although, Zombie loan focuses on killing zombies, Angel beats focuses on a story on people who are unable to live their youth lives properly. Zombie Loan involves more mystical(supernatural) abilities/creatures.
both have team planning .
both have strong girls.
both have may girls.
both have all out war.
both fight as team.
both have leader.
both have strategic planning and fighting.
both have same feel while watching.
Both Angel Beats! and Durarara!! are amazing for the same reasons, including engrossing (but much different) story lines, lovable characters, great use of animation and art style, in depth development of characters and much more. For this they're both similar and just as amazing as each other. Don't let the difference in genre put you off, if you enjoyed Angel Beats! and can handle violence in anime then I 100% recommend Durarara!!
Both have girls with guns fighting, although in Upotte, the girls are guns and in Angel Beats, they are not. Both have some good humor in it, but Angel Beats swings more to the romance side. I highly recommend people who saw Upotte to watch Angel Beats.
Both are heart warming stories that deal with the daily lives of teenagers and an occurring supernatural event. Animes talk about death, life and reincarnation.
Both series fluctuate between surreal comedy and sombre drama as a group of spirited teenagers struggle with their core existences. And as the main characters are so easy to root for, this leads to a vivid emotional experience for the typical viewer.
- Heavy emotional involvement
- Involve watching someone slip away right before your eyes
- Touching character interactions
- Good character development (which Kowarekake no Orgel amazingly manages to do in 30 minutes)
- Moe
- Tugs on your heart strings
- Great music, including some tracks with powerful vocals
In reality, Kowarekake no Orgel is good if you're a fan of ANY of Key's works, but it's most similar to Air in terms of plot.
The Main characters look very much alike
Both shows have a 'Tachibana' who both look alike (hair, eyes, politeness etc.)
Both anime have the same feel to them bought about by the illuminating colour schemes
They don't have over stylised fight scenes
They're both very light-hearted (exception Angel Beats at the end)
And of course mysterious girl introduces main character to whole new world
They both have that sad feeling at the end that makes you wish it could just continue. Plus, they make you fell fufilled when you do finish even if you do wish for more. Both are also great animes!! I love them and I am positive you will too!!
My similarites is Haruhi Suzumiya is looks like Yuki Nakamura both are their attitude and being leader of the club. Haruhi is the founder of SOS Brigade while Yuri is the founder of SSS
The two have the plot centered about heaven, reborn, love and friendship. In both there´s also a goal that the main ones have to fulfill so they can go to another place. Also, Kanade and Kobato are voiced by the same voice actress.
One of the main pairings from Angel Beats reminds me of the pairing from Nagareboshi Lens. It is a soft romance that slowly builds and the romance is a nice and fluffy.
It is kind of hard to explain why I would recomend these to. To me, they both had lovable characters, the humour was simular, though one storyline took on a darker side. I also enjoyed the character designs and the crispness in the animation. I guess the best way to put it is, both are kind of like Fairy Tales in the long run, though some people may not realize it for Angel Beats! at first.
In both anime's the main male protagonist find themselves (for them at the moment) in a wierd place, surrounded by strange people. But in no time they get used to it.
Both anime's have a piece of supernatural related storys, and the comedy is mutual in them. The music is also good if you ask me.
The afterglow of life and death and what is left entrusted to those who still live are the running themes both these show represents. They feature characters that unravel their own life's value and regrets that they might have left behind; and how it affects the lives surrounding them. Most of the stories told are poetic and painfully beautiful even within the darkest moments of their lives.
At the precipice of life's end; the afterimage of passing on and ascension to the afterlife is portrayed beautifully on both shows.
If you enjoy a quirky kind of humour or something that makes you laugh unexpectedly then this may be right for you. The two animes are of different genre though so don't expect them to share the same vibe!
This may look like a strange combination, but it's not. In both series you have a group of kids (all with their personal problems) who are in a different world. They all have to overcome their problems in this world.
