I'm looking for anime that involves Time Travel or Parallel Universe. For time travel, I already seen Steins;Gate and The Girl who Leapt Through Time (both are really good, by the way). The anime/manga I've been interested in reading is one that involves a main character's child from the future coming back in time (One that is a fish out of water is a plus). For a Parallel Universe, the anime/manga I've been interested in reading is one that involves the main character meeting someone from a Parallel Universe that is the opposite sex as themselves (Comedy or Serious is fine). I'm planning on watching Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. It isn't 100% of what I'm thinking of, but from what I have seen when it first came out, it was good. |

Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e I didn't like the show that much but it has time travel if thats what you're looking for. I don't think you are supposed to watch tsubasa reservoir chronicle but read instead :) I know there is an anime adaption for it but I have been told by friends that it is not so good. |

I thought Higurashi is time travel not really parallel. They are the same universe but Rika just go back to time? Sorry, it's been long time since I watch Higurashi. When you said parallel, do you mean like when the characters is from one planet earth travel to another planet earth but this planet earth is not the same one he come from and at the same time, it is also neither the future nor past of the planet he come from? For this version of parallel, I can only think of Clamp universe which is Tsubasa. In Clamp universe, you have different version of earth like in xxxHolic version of earth and CCS version of earth. Both exist but neither are past or future of each other so it's parallel not time travelling. Digimon Xros Hunter also has parallel universe like in Clamp when all the main characters from previous Digimon franchise united so this mean Digimon has many different version of earth in it's multiverse though I don't think it's the anime you looking for since the story don't focus on parallel universe. |

I couldn't find anything that was exact to what you were looking for so. I just listed manga's that have time travel & parallel worlds. in them. Some of them have the time travel aspect start later. Manga: Metronome Real Account Sprite Yokohama-sen Doppelgänger - This JUST got started on the translation. only 2 chapters out right now. Haruka na Machi e Ore ga Doutei wo Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite Fujimi Lovers - I THINK this is time traveling. Though its weird. Anime: Rozen Maiden - Theirs a 2nd season then a sequel. The sequal is called Rozen Maiden (2013). 2013 is what you want but you need to watch the the prequels 1st Arata Kangatari Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Monogatari Series: Second Season - You NEED to start from Bakemonogatari 1st in order to understand ANYTHING in this anime lol) EDIT: 2 More Manga's! Tsuyokute New Saga Skip! Yamada-kun - One shot |

I think it was both, because spoilers! (with a voice of River Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13S58aQw7wA): Time travel: Hanyuu, each time moves Rika closer to a date of her death. For example Hanyuu will move her to the 20th July. Next time Hanyuu will move her only to the 22th July. Parallel universes: Rika once said that one world is completely different. In the one ova (I think) Satoko was *bad person* and get *hit* by Rika. As fair I remember Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuffs happens in the 2nd season (higurashi no naku koro ni Kai) or at the end of the 1st season. ps. Steins;gate vs higurashi.... well, don't expect too much from higurashi (as for time travel/parallel universes of course). |

This isn't exactly what your after, but The Tatami Galaxy is a fantastic story that uses both concepts (parallel universe/time travel) to explore various ideas about choice, friendship, romance and fate. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's only 11 episodes long and I immediately wanted to re-watch the last few. |
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |

Time travel Your travel back to time and whatever action you did in the past, it will affect the future where you originally come from. Parallel universe You travel to a world/earth similar to yours and whatever you did there, it won't affect your original world. Clamp universe, like xxxHolic to CCS is parallel to each other in a sense that both of them have earth resembling each other. Do I get the definition correct here? |

Parallel universe You travel to a world/earth similar to yours and whatever you did there, it won't affect your original world. Do I get the definition correct here? I understand above terms as: - Time travel: You can go forward and backward in the time. In the Back to the Future Part 1, they have traveled from 1985 year to 1955 year. In the 2nd movie, they went from 1985 to 2015. It simply tells that YOU CAN TRAVEL THROUGH TIME not WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHANGE SOMETHING. - Parallel universe: We have this term because we cannot* change some stuffs in the past. We would create a paradox. For example we have grandfather paradox (wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox ): The time traveller goes back in time and kills his grandfather before his grandfather meets his grandmother. As a result, the time traveller is never born. But, if he was never born, then he is unable to travel through time and kill his grandfather, which means the traveller would then be born after all, and so on. To avoid that paradox, just before you kill your grandfather the world branch out into 2 worlds. In the one world your grandfather, you are not alive. In the 2nd world you go back in time, "change the world", kill grandfather from another world and go back to your world. [ read this wiki for more informations ] In lots of cases changing universe means "it won't affect your original world" but there is an exceptions: movie The one ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267804/ ) - this person grows stronger with each alternate self he kills... so it affects both world. (For me at least) changing the world/parallel universe means going along x-axis - and you ask WHERE; traveling through time means going along y-axis - and you ask WHEN. Of course, you can do both in some cases. I think, there are more hypotheses but I don't remember it now. Sorry. *In the Dr. Who you can change "small things" but the world stays the same |

A brilliant action/comedy series in which 3 teens with special abilities and troublesome personalities are summoned to another world to fight for a certain underdog community. Strike the Blood has a short time-travel arc at the end in which the MCs' child chases a dragon/monster 20 years back into MCs' timeline and helps them defeat it there. |

For example, you have found 1$ on the street; you may or may not pick it up => this will create 2 *worlds*. This stuff is complicated, imho, so it may differ from my explanation. |

NGNL isn't really about parallel universe. I see that you have Bokurano in you plan to watch list. Would love to hear your thought on Bokurano once you watch it. Bokurano parallel universe is similar to Tsubasa where there are many version of earth but non of them are result of time travelling or making different choices |
