Well, the example you gave is not really that great, as you can find a ton a characters that look a lot more alike without really even looking. Your typical visual novel harem adaptations feature almost identical characteristics in so many aspects.

Have you seen the character designs of Strike the Blood, they are pretty much the same character with a lock of hair drawn differently.

Gray Fullbuster and Rin Okumura.I really think these both look similar.

They have so similar hair and expressions sometimes.I don't know why I think they look so similar.

Other characters:
- Shanks (One Piece) and Gildarts (Fairy Tail)
-Taiga Aisaka (Toradora!) and Ookami (Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi)
-Kageyama (Fairy Tail) and Shikamaru (Fairy Tail)


I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate.

Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Chronicles have character overlap. Though I don't know if that counts since they are both in the CLAMP works and I think are supposed to be somewhat connected..

In fact, most characters from Tsubasa Chronicles are similar to characters from CLAMP's previous works. Often they even share the same name. This is intentional, and probably done for "multiverse" feel.

Does anybody have that picture that claims Ookami-san is Taiga and Ryuuji's daughter?

They are from the same mangaka, it's pretty common to see aspects that are similar in manga from the same author.

But they look too similar, I'm very sure that they're supposed to look the same because even two of the voicers are the same (+ the story line and personalities are similar)

Almost every blonde female character Leiji Matsumoto has ever drawn has had the exact same body type, facial structure and hair length. And this started back in the 70s. Way ahead of his time.


Didn't he just follow Tezuka who started the "Star system" (reusing characters models from a manga to another) ?
Kurumada, Adachi and some others are still exploiting the concept.


edit @rvbrick I see, I didn't notice it in the animated Harlock I saw, but saw this in the Gun Frontier books.

Then I'll suggest the women of Terasawa. At least in Cobra, there is little to no variations for the ones supposed to be beautiful.

then stop watching their popular stuff and try some of their overlooked one... go watch okiku furikabute, space broothers, or gin no saji... not to mention their awesome high budgeting movie...

good to see that i'm not the only one on this post that thought of A-1 Pictures and its male characters.but its not always the case in their popular manga adaptations since they try to stay faithful... most of times at least.

Hikari and Kei from Special A and Misaki and Usui from maid sama

Tamahome and Miaka from Fushigi Yugi and Yona and Hak from Akatsuki no Yona (almost similar)

Kaori from Your Lie in April and Chitoge from Nisekoi (almost)

Akihito and Misaki from Kyoukai no Kanata and the leads from Tamako Market

These are the only few I can remember, could be wrong though.

Every Ghibli characters drawn by Hayao Miyazaki, either it's the main characters or the henchmen. The henchmen and the background characters especially, I have to emphasize. Since they seem like same random combination of beard and mustache on the same face with subtle difference.

However, it had little to nothing to do with the movies themselves and did not hinder them at all for being great.

Naho from Orange and the girl from Ao Haru Ride, I think only the hair colour was a bit off.

Hachiman from Oregairu and the guy from Nisekoi has pretty much the same design. Not to mention, Taichi in Kokoro Connect and the male MC in Kyoukai no Kanata (only hair colour was different?)

In any case, the similarities don't really bother me.

Main characters from Mirai Nikki and Big Order.
not similar , exactly the same.

The character designs from Chihayafuru & Ore Monogatari look similar to some degree.
Rinko looks like a smaller, more babyfaced Chihaya.
Taichi & Makoto share similarities as well.

A lot of characters look similar, but it depends on when the series was made, 90's characters look much different than modern characters. Since there are a lot of anime series being made anyway, it would be quite difficult to make all the characters look different, plus there are certain anime archetype characters that have a certain look, and that conveys the characters personality to the audience.

I see someone mentioned Sieg Hart and Jellal. They're meant to be the same character. I remember Hiro Mashima promised Sieg Hart fans to bring him back in his next series, and he fullfilled that promise by creating Jellal in Fairy Tail (his work after Rave which Sieg Hart belongs).

Sorry this isn't particularly on topic but I wanted to comment because I was thinking of something similar recently. So many characters In Mushi-shi look damn near identical it's hilarious. Still absolutely loved the show though, just thought it was kinda funny.

Everytime I look at Kazuma from S-cry-ED, more specifically when his hair is spiked up, bears kind of a slight resemblance to Yuri Ivanov from Beyblade. But that could just be me.

Also, this one might be stretching from Anime characters to Video Game characters, but Lilith Asami from Trinity Seven looks almost exactly like Hong Meiling from Touhou (and I should note that Touhou had several manga based on it and an Anime OVA (I'm not sure the fan-made Memories Of Phantasm has an entry on here)).
