+ Both series are obviously a protagonist-centric story though it would've been better if 86 didn't have this writing element in earliest arcs. But if you prefer this kind of writing element emphasized in both of these series and couldn't care less about supporting characters written as two-dimensional and not developed that much, both of these series fulfil such requests. + Both series don't have a wish fulfillment kind of story as each of their premise is very dark and along the way will make you feel the depths of hopelessness that lets you sympathise the male protagonists. + Both are made by the same main studio A1-Pictures who brought their utmost best to make the action-packed scenes looking good at all times.

Both of them showcase events that are coincidental connections to the main characters. Both of them have to have some events be a bit more absurd in a jarring way. The only difference is that OddTaxi managed to nail how gritty reality is in its plot progression; Plunderer has fantasy elements involved, but the way the plot progression goes nonsensical will be grating to some viewers watching it. If you crave for a Trainwreck version of OddTaxi though, Plunderer should be it though it depends how much nonsensical torture you can watch throughout the entire run.

1. Both series are considered to be speculative fiction of the Sci-Fi genre given the futuristic world they're set in have imagined advance technology. 2. Beautiful female leads of both series go through tribulations when they wanna set things right for the human race. 3. Top-notch animation quality of battle scenes

Gleipnir

Both series are ecchi genre though Plunderer has misrepresented/misused fanservice and it's not actual ecchi content; Gleipnir is. The mystery of both series can be intriguing for the male protagonist in both series are mysterious with one of them having amnesia and one of them hiding too many secrets though personality-wise is badly-written. Both series feature deuteragonist, mainly the main heroine. Only difference is that Gleipnir has a smart, deceitful and cunning girl. Plunderer unfortunately has its main heroine continuously being careless, oblivious, and too trusting on any stranger's words. But if you're in need of a mystery past to solve, both series should do you a favour though Gleipnir is the only one with coherent and simple plot progression.

Both have weak-to-OP male protagonist and girls falling for him showing off his powers. Both have dark stuff about betrayals and deceit that the world they live in is distorted/twisted and has an ugly history that has been covered up by the real antagonists. Only difference is that Arifureta didn't suffer an over-padding dialogue; Plunderer unfortunately did. Plunderer's hero is wishy-washy and turn on a dime which got me rating Arifureta higher for Hajime is the opposite of that hero. Also animation quality is subpar in both shows but Arifureta seems to be tolerable given it's only one-cour. If you're looking for either about dark stuff of deceit and betrayal or Trainwreck entertainment, go for Arifureta that'll toughen you up for Plunderer's 2-cour confused & convoluted storytelling.

The powers portrayed in GOHS has the same vibe/feeling as PLDR's in spite of GOHS being in spirit form that have various level powers while PLDR is based on the Numbers you've. The higher the Number, the level of powers you use/expel are higher. Unfortunately, both shows' consistent storytelling has been thrown out of the window mainly due to pacing issues. GOHS' second half is obviously all over the place in terms of viewers having a hard time to grasp the events unfolding in front of them. e.g. one iportant side characters suddenly shows up, then be in coma, then became a literal monster, and finally death fell upon him. I knew there were a lot of important scenes cut off from its original source (webtoon). PLDR is a weird and irritating case for 1st half is as slow as a sloth though it's the uncomfortable & offensive fanservice at random timing being the main culprit of 1st half's pacing issue; not to mention, characters turn on a dime for plot twist convenience that leads to cheap/lazy shock value in ep8/9. 2nd half is weirdly at normal-speed pacing, but unfortunately, important scenes that contain vital info about the mystery of the main hero's powers & side effects are cut off completely thanks to the uninspiring & lazy-written 1st half. Original anime-exclusive episodes are the few main reasons why the plot progression's pacing is split unevenly that the anime version has its plot butchered the ability to promote the original source (manga) in a good light. Oddly enough, I don't find GOHS annoying for their main characters' personalities are consistent and don't turn on a dime randomly for no reason. PLDR unfortunately suffers from this, especially its female characters being written as "women without intelligence" especially when they've no discernment (hunch/gut feeling) of predicting/guessing the enemy showing up someday. I would've been cautious and predict an enemy's movements after experiencing a gun to my head twice. Now that I shouldn't forget the trauma, but Hina unfortunately did... 😕 The only difference is that GOHS is worthy of your eyes for the fight scenes have consistent quality that make up for the jumbled-up plot progression. Though it's only one-cour, I assure you GOHS won't make you feel irritated like PLDR. Again, this is another sarcastic recommendation for there are many people who assume GOHS is the worst anime they've ever seen. I recommend them watch PLDR for comparison. As for those who are disappointed with PLDR's fight scenes, I recommend you watching GOHS for good and consistent quality fight scenes.

Most of the first half of Plunderer has a swords and magic world setting that's the same as the whole series of Isekai Cheat Magician. Both have serious storytelling hidden beneath, but unfortunately, the shows' direction and mostly over-padding dialogue/script ruins the overall potential & world-building these two had; not to mention, most of their animation movements are subpar & stiff. Plunderer suffers the most for there are mid-close ups of faces looking out of place and almost squiggly like. Don't expect high-quality fight scenes from both shows for that makes their random plot points and jarring plot holes become so obvious that it's difficult to ignore them. This is actually a sarcastic recommendation for those who are looking to watch either the "So Bad It's Good" type of entertainment or complete a dare by somebody who tells you to watch a "Trainwreck or Dumpster Fire" series. If you really have the strength to go through Plunderer's 2-cour length, so be it. But I suggest Isekai Cheat Magician's 1-cour for a warm-up & build-up of your immunity towards Plunderer's blundered storytelling.

Akudama Drive

Both series have nameless characters which eventually use their occupation or roles to be referred to. In spite of being set in a very different era & world, Akudama Drive sets the path of some Akudama who mean well, but are willing to kill those who get in their way of their mission/job. Just like the titular character Goblin Slayer for he kills goblins for the sake of saving humanity, Akudama Drive's Swindler kills whoever harms and exploits the Siblings for selfish trivial reasons. Bonus surprise is that one of the Akudama named Courier and Goblin Slayer are voiced by the same Japanese VA.
