Personally, Pochita and Chopper give me similar vibes. Also Shigeo from "Mob Psycho 100" and Mitsumi from "Skip to Loafer."

Suigintou/Homura


Both are sort of villains you can root for. But I find Suigintou's angst much easier to identify with.

Eureka from Eureka 7, Patema from Patema Inverted, and Lykos from Children of the Whales were all incredibly similar for me, to the point that I occasionally get them mixed up. In fact the first time I picked up Patema Inverted I thought it was some alternate Eureka 7 installment.

Same for Mob and Mitsumi, both have a spacey, naive, but earnest and kind vibe. And some aspects of their designs and expressions too, even though Mitsumi is more expressive. For some reason I match Chopper more with Alphonse when thinking of similar characters to him, though it's hard to explain why lol. And Shaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura and Killua from Hunter x Hunter feel kinda similar too.

Gotoh from Patlabor and Yang Wenli from Legend of the Galactic Heroes are very similar in both ideals and personality. Both are in commanding positions, share a dislike for governmental control and are fond of using unorthodox tactics for their strategies.

The way Kaji (Eva) and Shigure (Fruits Basket) show themselves as these carefree, social and cocky guys that in reality are pretty solitary and inteligent guys.

I'm currently watching Classroom of the Elite, and Suzune Horikita reminds me a lot of Yukino Yukinoshita from Oregairu. Both are aloof girls with dark long hair with quite an arrogant and condescending attitude to the point of ending up completely alone, but in reality seem to have the same harsh behaviour towards themselves and in the end, they just seem to have personal issues that prevent them from interacting normally with others without expecting too much from them.

I could list other pairs but it's the first one that came to mind.

I mean, not only she's similar to Yukino, Ayanokouji is a 8man type of character.

Same goes for Sakurajima Mei from AoButa, who is a blander Senjougahara with some Yukino mixed in. No wonder I dislike all of them. That trope gets on my nerves.

Not for me. It's shown that Yang Wenli is quite dissatisfied being a military man whereas Gotoh just stoicly does what he does.

I like to think that Mob grows up to be more expressive like Mitsumi (we already got glimpses of that in the third season), but yeah the two do remind me of each other. They're both very endearing protagonists. Even watching both series give me a similar optimism and if someone likes "Mob Psycho 100" for its messages then I would recommend them "Skip to Loafer."

Also, I can see the Chopper and Alphonse thing. Chopper and Pochita may be similar, but Chopper and Alphonse are more the same.

I have a similar thought except that instead of Kaji and Shigure, I think of Shigure and Yuuko from "xxxHolic." (Also Vash from "Trigun" to a lesser degree.) I dig the trope of the character who acts goofy and jokes a lot but they're dealing with some dark shit behind the scenes. (Also Gojo from "Jujutsu Kaisen" to an even lesser degree.)

Except that Aqua was kinda made to be that way through his circumstances whereas Light was just like that.

Good to know. I've barely just tapped into "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" but I've gotten that impression from Yang, and I plan to watch the "Patlabor" movies some day because of Mamoru Oshii. That's a good combination of things to have in common.

They are pretty similar, but here's a thing I found that talks about the key differences in their handling:

Those types of characters are always pretty interesting to watch

Might be cheating, but Sunohara and Kitagawa, from Clannad and Kanon.
Doesn't help they have the same EN VA, are written by the same person/people and that they fill the same role.
As I was watching Kanon, whenever Kitagawa showed up, I refered to him in my head as Sunohara.
Other than that, discouting characters from the same series (such as Beyblade Bursts' Rantaro, Ranjiro, Ranzo, and such).
Ninomiya from Dungeon Black Company and Kamina. Probably the reason I like the series that much.

Adding another one to the list: I swear the mangaka of "Naruto" read "Slam Dunk" and then used Sakuragi and Rukawa as the basis for Naruto and Sasuke, both individually and as a pair.

When watching Gun Frontier, Harlock reminded me of Gintoki from Gintama. They both sound constantly bored and I find that amusing.
