Both have similar themes of strange phenomena and questioning sides, as well as the altering of reality by some mysterious force.

Both are insane adventures with a psychedelic artstyle and packed with a lot of absurd fun.

I made this not because "ZOMG! DIS IZ A MUHDOWKA REEPAWFF!" but because of its similarities with PMMM which made me get interested in the series. 1. Kind pink decoy protagonist with an exceptional potential who keeps her optimism till the end and banishes the horrible system of magical girls. 2. Long black haired gunner who has a crush on the main protagonist and is the first one to find out about the nightmarish magical girl system. 3. Red tsundere who eats a lot. 4. A music themed girl who foreshadows later events (Sayaka joking about Homura's past in episode 1 and Itsuki uses her tarot cards to do that). 5. Yellow mentor who recruits magical girls, acts lonely and suffered from a mental breakdown after seeing the music themed girl suffer, attacks red themed girl and is stopped by the decoy protagonist. 6. Mascots pretending to be cute in order to manipulate the girls and thinks what they are doing is for everyone's benefit despite letting the girls suffer for the sake of doing so. 7. Monsters that normal humans are not being able to see and create bizarre areas.

Because its both harem and the MC is very OP

Of the many Lupin The 3rd anime that exists, Part 4 specifically focuses on the Italian setting along with historical landmarks & choice of music. This can be a companion piece to the Italian Mafia themed Golden Wind as Lupin III Part 4 also follows the viewpoint of criminals.

Both anime series fall into the same rare category of fanservice-filled shoujo (?) demographic gag comedies. Although Mahou Shoujo Ore is more based in fantasy (because with a Magical Girl concept, how could it not be?), both series have similar humour styles and underlying romantic tension.

Beautiful, jaw-dropping works of art that you can watch is less than 30 minutes. Nothing comes close to these masterpieces.

Sarcastic protagonist and supernatural adventures. Both stories are school-based and driven by their characters. Mai's arc especially reminded me of The disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. The characters are likeable and memorable with interesting interpersonal relationships.

Another school based comedy series with great interaction between characters. The characters are likeable and memorable with great dialogue.

Main guy goes around solving the supernatural dilemmas of various waifus alongside witty dialogue.

A brown-haired MC who can go super fast fights alongside his allies who have different super powers and abilities. Hamatora has more mystery whereas Cyborg 009 is more adventure-like. Both series, however, have tragic moments and pretty cool fight scenes. If you like super-powered, action anime, give these a shot.

Both shows have complex and highly develop worlds that are a lot curler than what they look on the surface. Both shows have strong female characters that evolve as the show progress and adapt to the situations. They are also very violent and bloody animes, with action and thrill. Nonetheless but shows are different genres and Cross Ange has excessive fan service.

At a private girl school, Myojo Accademy thirteen girls are transferred into the accademy`s Black Class. Of the thirteen students, twelve are assassins from various surroundings who are all tasked in assassinating the remaining one, Haru Ichinose. If they succeeed, they will be granted any wish they desire but they failed, they are expelled from the class. One of the executioner, Tokaku Akuma develops feeling for the latter which result in protecting her against the other assassins.

Both Same dark atmosphere Both same drama Both same horror

Both main protagonists are titular protagonists, with the story being focused on character progression and development via their experiences with different individuals with differing strifes, struggles, and issues. Both main protagonists seek to understand themselves better, as they both are not good with understanding or expressing emotions, or even just understanding themselves in general. Both tried to find a new reason to live. Violet and Casshern both had to bear and deal with the sins from their respective pasts, knowing that none of that will ever disappear. Both of them have tried to commit suicidal acts due to almost having lost hope of finding a purpose to live. Both Violet and Casshern are highly feared by other people/robots due to their expertise in combat, and both have held back from trying to kill if possible, though Violet absolutely tries everything to not kill her enemies as opposed to how she did in the past, whereas Casshern WILL kill if necessary, and may go "berserk" as well. Both series have similar formats, showcasing a different character with a different personality and/or ideal/issue nearly each different episode, and ends off with a final closure on both protagonists. Both shows display some of the most pristine and gorgeous showcasings of animation qualities. Both shows explore a world after war, though Casshern's world is post-apocalyptic, while Violet's story is based off post-WWI settings. Finally, both series have very grim and heavy themes, though Casshern Sins, being in a post-apocalyptic setting, is a lot darker and heavier, centered around the idea and concept of death and dying, while Violet Evergarden focuses on a story of loss after war, and is relatable with former war veterans.

Both have many similar plots such as: - MC escapes the vampires - loses family - finds out brother has been turned - the brother is always protecting MC - fighting with military against vampires - both have powers

Both have very deep story and a lot of (not so nice) subjects to make you think about the world they're living compared to us. AND both are not suitable for sensitive people but to Anime fan who want to watch adult series with serious topics, worth to watch, great shows!

If you're not sad and depressed enough after watching "your lie in April" , Saikano will for sure be the hidden gem to get you all the way to the deep end, and vice versa. There are very few Anime that has make me cry like a small kid and both of these are top 5 without any doubt.

Guts and Alucard are two insanely powerful beings, both with nightmares they have to come to terms with. They almost always find themselves in harms way, having to battle out of it with everything they have, leaving no traces of their opposition.

Zombieland Saga and Punchline both have ridiculous premises that have a nice blend of comedy and drama. Both shows can be pretty sad when it counts, and pretty hilarious. In terms is story, these shows are not similar, but it’s the uniqueness and absurdity of both the stories that makes them similar. Zombieland Saga is about girls from different time periods being resurrected as zombies to become idols for saving Saga prefecture. Punchline is about a main character who turns into a ghost, and if he sees panties, his nose bleeds, and the world blows up. Punchline also has a time loop thing going on. Both have a very clean art style and nice animation. They were also both made by studio MAPPA. I would say the over all styles of these shows are the most similar, and if you watched one, you would probably like the other.

Both animes have very similar vibes: mysterious and post-apocalyptic future, snow everywhere, few humans, remnants of machines that suggest that there was a technological war, most of the animals extinct or on the verge of extinction. And both animes have a relatively slow passing. Another point in common is that both deal with some fairly philosophical issues. Anyway, Wolf's Rain has many more characters, more action, and a more complex story.

very similar atmosphere, seriousness, gore and both are for adults who don't like show to try to please everyone.

Well, they're both about tennis. One protagonist is already a near master and the other a complete beginner. They both face oppenents who they must over come and have incredible growth during the process.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch & Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann are both very renowed and revolutionary series in the Mecha Anime genre. They have a lot of things in common such as the evolution of the main characters, the beautiful designs of the supporting cast and the mechas, the teamwork and interactions with the other characters, the very absorbing plot and the amazing mecha battles in combination with the breathtaking music. In general the entire setting makes it so that by being fascinated by either series it is worth embracing the other as well.

For Alicization fans, need another good anime? I had this dilemma and had the first hand pleasure experience to able to find an anime to watch next, you have to watch SukaSuka! Even if the genre is not action, SukaSuka has some great (sword) action in it !!! In addition it is beautiful, touching, and will make you cry :))) Similar points you like in both, male MC wants to save and protect girls, male MC and female MC like each other, FANTASTIC ART, FANTASTIC OPENINGS, AND A SUPER HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTION !!!!

Free! and Tsurune have the same sort of atmosphere. Both tell of 5 guys working together to learn and improve at a sport (swimming in Free! and archery in Tsurune). The animation is well done and very similar style from KyoAni. They both have a high emphasis on friendship. If you enjoyed getting a glimpse of what goes into a sport, and how people can bond together from one of these shows, you will have a very similar feeling watching the other.

Same Director. Similar style.

They both deal with psychology and the inner workings of the mind, one through dreams, the other memories. At times there are 'parades' of the contents of the mind which is accompanied by intererestingly similar melodies.

Both are Studio Deen visual novel adaptations from 2006. Through these adaptations (mostly Fate/stay night which can readily be compared to ufotable adaptations) Deen established a reputation for dodgy animation, inconsistent quality from the VAs/seiyuu, and a palpable lack of care for the source material, with strange pacing and enough cut/ignored details to make an observant watcher wonder if the scriptwriters actually read the VNs. Both also have soundtracks made by well-known composer Kenji Kawai, though this is often not known by viewers until they look up the OST later. Both developed defensive fandoms rather quickly, though Deen Fate/stay night's reputation plummeted as soon as another studio (ufotable) began seriously adapting material from the Fate series. If Higurashi ever receives the same treatment in the future (as unlikely as that is) I'm fairly convinced that Deen's adaptation would be dumped by the wayside in a similar fashion.

Both are first and foremost fairly gory thrillers featuring a multitude of mentally unstable characters. Higurashi's resident yandere was the face of the archetype until Mirai Nikki's Gasai Yuno usurped that position. While Higurashi is slower pace-wise than Mirai Nikki, they end up giving similar vibes, as they have many plot similarities and handle their mysteries in a similar fashion (the sort of mysteries the studios didn't want you to think all that much about because the way these anime are adapted leaves a number of inconsistencies & holes in the plot, though this is much more easily apparent in Mirai Nikki).

Anohana's main themes around the conjoining of friends and the dealing of grief, Orange delves into very similar ideas and character dynamics while simultaneously accurately depicting the struggles of mental health one may go through and the difference of dealing with it alone vs with help. Both series give realistic and meaningful stories but given a slight supernatural twist that keeps the watcher hooked and interested.

Both stories relate to the formation and the practice of wholesome/loving relationships, and with similar animation styles it's a very comfortable transition to go from one series to the other

Very much alike, both protagonists have the same type of intensity. If you like Hinomaru Zumou you are bound to like All Out!

Both shows are "Magical Girl" anime that explore darker themes than other shoujo, such as death, responsibility, violence and divinity, alongside the usual friendship and occasional romance. While Sailor Moon is a light-hearted villian of the week show that gradually gets darker with every season, Madoka Magica is a twist on the genre that takes shows such as Sailor Moon and skips the filler and goes straight for the dark stuff. Both Madoka and Usagi serve as the watchers self-insert into their worlds, although Usagi presents much more personality and relatability than Madoka does. These series have great supporting casts that steal the show. If you liked Madoka Magica and you want to know the influences on the show, if you wanted more romance (either straight or yuri), and to basically enjoy a classic anime to lighten the mood, Sailor Moon is a great choice. And if you liked Sailor Moon and want to watch an anime that emulates later episodes, if you need action instead of romance, and a more macabre version of your favorite group of heroines, Madoka Magica is the one for you.

If you enjoyed Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta, I am most certain you will definitely enjoy Ue no Ponyo. The themes that are set for the movies are quite similar. They are both light-hearted stories about friendship mainly revolving around the sea. You could say that they give of the same vibe. The same thing goes for the adorable fish-like characters with "magical" powers. And the, of course, not to be forgotten beautiful flowing animation which is pleasant for ones eyes to view.

In Overlord you got more brutal attitude of overpowered protagonist to obeying all world to himself, and in "the slime anime" main character is a little bit mild to enemies. Both are worth watching, mainly because of this aspect. Enjoy!

Kiniro Mosaic and Wakaba*Girl are very similair with each other. Both show resolve around a group of girls that start of in highschool, the comedy is very similair and the charather design is done by the same author. The main difference between the two is that Wakaba*Girls is approx. 8 minutes long and Kiniro Mosaic is approx. 24 minutes long. Also Wakaba*Girl is done by Studio Nexus while Kiniro Mosaic is done by Studio Gokumi.

Baby steps and Cross game are both anime that use slow pacing to great affect (proving that slow pacing isn't necessarily a bad thing). Both anime are sports anime that feature romance, if you liked the romance in baby steps you will love the romance in cross game, which is good because cross game puts a heavier focus on its romance then its sports elements.

Both of the anime has a lead male that serve as protector of the lead girl character. The girl characters have quite a lot of similarities between their personality, their appearances and their own quirks. They both are kinda short with long hair, like to eat sweet foods, has a short temper, smart and knowledgeable, always complaining on the male character and even kick them in the leg for saying something that they shouldn't have. Both anime also has sorrowful theme songs for opening and ending that can let you feel the theme right away and reach into your heart. Both are set in the post-war era where there's still parasol and horse carriages around. Gosick has a deeper approach on the story with the explanation and the logical thinking of how the mystery works while Dantalian no Shoka involves more of a supernatural suspense coming out of books and some more interesting characters. Nevertheless, both anime show the bond between the 2 lead characters and the adventure that they share as they walk together into the deeper unknown.

Both are non-cliché shounens, which means they do not follow a pattern or a style like other anime's. They also have a very original and creative idea followed by a more serious track with death and blood. Both are very good, both are recommended.

Two games of life and death. Btooom! is on an island and is related to video games, Danganronpa is already happening inside a "school" and its only relation with games is its source. Both have a more serious track with blood and violence. I recommend!

Both are life and death games. Btooom! is related to games in which the protagonist played this game in his computer and woke up in an island, discovering that now it was in the game, but in the real world. Mirai Nikki has nothing to do with games. It is the typical survival game in which each participant has a special ability, this one has a weeping protagonist and more focus on the novel. I consider Btooom! better than Mirai Nikki in many respects but if you like survival games like The Hunger Games you might like both.

Both are life and death games that link to video games. Btooom! is happening in real life, and is a survival game that takes place on an island, with many pergios and mysteries. SAO takes place inside an MMO-RPG virtual reality game, in which the player is trapped inside the game and if he dies inside, he dies in the real world. Btooom! has a more serious and mature footprint, presenting blood and good strategies. SAO is more childish in comparison, and focuses more on romance than on the game itself. But both are really cool and recommended!

Both are hero stories, but they do not look like anything to each other. In My Hero, you see a more "serious" story and in OPM it's a "hoax" story and made so on purpose to be funny. OPM does not take itself seriously and has a lot of comedy, since MHA is to be taken seriously, with tension and etc. Both are recommended!

They both look a lot and low at the same time. The two shows are about a protagonist who has an incredibly strong power. Its main differences are that in OPM focuses more on the action and the fights and has a great animation with a story. Since Saiki does not focus on fights, in fact as far as I've seen he has not presented any fight, but he focuses a lot on the sarcastic humor and the interaction between the characters. In general, the two are recommended, but OPM was made to be frantic and have many fights and Saiki Kusuo was made to be calmer, I recommend watching one episode a day. Note: Saiki Kusuo does not have 120 episodes of 5 min. On most of the streaming sites it is featured in 24 episodes.

Adventurous and with great story telling. Smart action and side characters have their times in the spotlight.

there is an arc in yugioh (noah's acr) which is very similar to this movie.

I chose this Berserk in particular because like Alicization, it is most interesting for me. This one is where Guts chases after Griffith and plows over demons. I think there was the Rape Horse scene which triggers people. You get to see Guts go crazy here with the Black Sword and if that wasn't enough, there are some bloody mutilation scenes where man have lost their humanity and are monsters deserved to be slain.

How is there no rec for Goblin Slayer? Besides the very infamous "Rape" scene and goblin killing present in both. Here are other similarities - An adventure, and good action to defeat the (bad guys/goblins) - Scenes where male MC fights to save or rescue a girl (Happens on many occassions, Alice, Asuna, Selka, Tiese, Ronie, Priestess, unknown elf and possibly Cow Girl) - Medieval town setting with ranks and statuses (Knights, nobles, commoner, adventurers) - Male MC wields a distinct, powerful sword, has some "formidable skills, a finishing attack" and is strong - Male MC won't let past mistake and regret happen again, fights on and won't subject to the world he is in, even if getting hurt in the process (Losing Alice, subjecting to the Taboo Index system in Alicization, Losing his sister, hiding from goblins in Goblin Slayer) - Male MC has feelings or cares for female MC (Kirito and Eugeo for Alice, Goblin Slayer for Priestess but not obvious) - Female MC is cute/pretty, has boobs, likes male MC, but does not falter to male MC and would confront them (Alice is on equal level with Kirito and Eugeo, Priestess can't be on her own, but is probably the next most important on the team after Goblin Slayer and the Shaman Lizard) - MCs support and protect each other (Kirito and Eugeo, Goblin Slayer and his team) - Mild nudity or sexiness (Some fanservice, if you exclude the Rape) - Pleasant Art (Pretty and detailed)

Just a heads up, it is good to watch each other. They have the same manga artist that I believe the adaptation takes upon it. So if you liked Alicization's artstyle and wanted more, definitely look at Sacred Blacksmith too. There are other similar points like Knights and medieval town setting, wielding a powerful sword, saving the girl, and facing the enemy together. I also like their names, Cecily and Alice, cute girl's name, similar feel XD Both are pretty girl knights I would watch. The guys are cool and step into the fray when needed.

While Tokyo Mew Mew is a magical girl TV series and The Cat Returns is a feature film, both anime are stories about a school girl that get caught up with incidents relating to animals, notably cats, and provides some good laughs. Reiko Yoshida is involved in both series, as she wrote the script of The Cat Returns and was the writer behind the original Tokyo Mew Mew manga, so both anime are also romance-oriented and may appeal to female anime fans.

So you're interested in a story about a society with psychic powers. Ok. But you'd like those powers to have rules and downsides. Sure. And maybe there's a power-struggle between those who have power and those that don't. Absolutely. Well you just described Toward the Terra and Shin Sekai Yori, both stories about cultures that seem like they're well-adjusted and maybe a dash utopian but are turned on their head by the young, well-meaning but inquisitive protagonist. Both have heaping handfuls of action and conflict, but what sets them apart is the shades of gray morality. You'll find that people do bad things for good reasons, and vice versa. It's difficult to pinpoint who's the true evil, and that makes for a dynamic cast and a storyline that will draw you in. Set some time aside, because once you start you'll want to marathon until the end!

both are excellent violent psychological thrillers giving many takes n viewpoints on how far one would go for love.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal is directly based off of the manga, so it contains the much darker tones that the manga is known for rather than the more lighter tones from the 1992 anime. If you enjoyed those darker tones, you may enjoy Puella Magi Madoka Magica, another popular magical girl series with similarly dark tones, very cute magical girl outfits, and notable soundtrack (headphones recommended!).

Watching shinsekai yori and akuma no riddle world future academy and city utopia and dystopia and both akuma no riddle and shinsekai yori have VA same for tomokazu sugita and Yoshiko Sakakibara

Wacthing from the new world and iroduku have seiyuu Murase Ayumu Both same drama

Both are sooooooooo funny ;) They are both about a sport which we do not see the MC practice a lot. Both have the same pace , you either you like it or not ^^

A high schooler unwillingly makes a contract with a demon and strives to keep his already messed up school life from becoming even worse(spoiler alert-they fail). Tons of comedy, nice action, some nudity, and pretty enjoyable despite the plot mostly not making sense in both.

If you at all enjoyed Pop Team's ridiculous, non-stop humor, I think you'll love Inferno Cop. It's less than an hour, available on Crunchyroll, and the best decision you'll make in your entire life.

-Cute girls form a high school club -Real world explanation of the equipment used in the show -Distinguishable character archetype -Building strong bonds -Relaxing atmosphere -Lots of food and chit-chatting -MOE over 9000!

Both are Shounen Jump anime with a male protagonist who wants to live a normal life, but is born into a family of mafia(Although in Nura, it's demon Yakuza)and is pressured into taking over as the current heir. The protagonist is powerless for the most part, but under certain conditions, becomes strong.

Both feature lush worlds with strange creatures and female main characters, with excellent story. If you like one you will probably like the other. In both the characters are traveling through strange lands where they are in real danger a lot of the time, and have to become more adept at their surroundings to survive.

Both are very eerie stories about children in a beautiful world full of strange creatures, abilities and objects. With a dark story that has light highlights. Very similar in feel.

Both are about a journey through strange lands full of danger and strange creatures. With lush art, and incredible story and characters. If you like one you will probably like the other.

Very similar feel in that they both feel like you have stepped into the spirit world. With a lush world of amazing art, and incredible character and strange creatures. You definitely feel transported away in both works. Made in Abyss has a very "Ghibli" feel to it too.

Made in Abyss has a very "Ghibli" feel, with an eerie feeling, and a lush, rich world and deep characters and story. Very similar feel to Nausicaa in many ways.

Made in Abyss has a very "Ghibli" feel, with an eerie feeling, and a lush, rich world and deep characters and story. More mysterious than Princess Mononoke but if you like one you should check out the other.

Tensei Shitara Slime and Isekai Maou to Shoukan both belong in the Isekai genre of light novel series. They have overpowered protagonists that explore their powers as the plot moves further. They both learn how to adapt in the new existence that they are in and expand their horizons with new friends and allies. The overall fantasy setting with the story and characters gives the same feelings and environment.

Both plots develop in the meta space of Korakuen Hall. Now, seriously, both series have similar characters, even though the sport of both shows drive them to pretty different developments, since boxing is a sport that consist mostly of being better than the other sportsman on the ring, this allows a relationship of deciding who is the most strong and intelligent boxer between both participants, while competitive dancing is more of having an intense synchronicity with your partner, this allowing relationships that are built on a foundation of trust and fellowship, sometimes even love. The humour is also very different, but both are hilarious shows, Ippo being a lot more vulgar and over the top, while Ballroom's being a lot lighter.

Both Aldnoah.Zero and Code Geass connect primarily mechs. Both series talk about the war between two countries in which these machines are used. In addition, the anime is joined by the main characters - they are both strategists who use their unusual intellect to ensure their victory. There is also a similarity between the nemesis of the main characters - Slaine Troyard is guided by similar motivations motivating his actions as Suzaku Kururugi.

These anime combines a mysterious atmosphere, and their action takes place in the past and not in Japan. So we can see quite the original clothing of the heroes and the background of the action. In both main characters are young panics who contract with someone. Both series also contain comedic elements.

Girl live her life to the fullest. Boy not have much social interaction. Main boy & girl are complete opposite of each other. Story about dealing with misfortune, grief, and growth. Also great love story, without MC love declaration (even to himself).

The heroines of these series begin their journey like normal girls. Mystical forces messing with their daily lives brings friendship and magic. Get ready for some actions scenes and light-hearted romance!

Both animes talk about idols helping other people. In Idol Jihen groups are political parties. They solve urban problems. In Zombieland Saga already dead idols in the form of live zombies help people from their past. The main characters of both animes overcome their difficulties and failures.

Many shows tried to use the pokemon craze in 2000s and shove a mystical creature into everything possible. Bakugan and Beyblade are the classic applicators for this trope, both having a mon in a toy that children fight and save the world with (plus both anime's main 4 mc's all have mons inspired by the four symbols). Expect friendship speeches, 90% of the cast being male, asspuls, plotholes and adults fighting each other over spinning tops/balls.

Underground old ovas about a group of girls traveling the space completing missions. While GF is usually serious in nature, ML shifts in tone frequently (think Bebop but with female cast)

Both have ayakashi and are parodies

Remember the time when you created your first female characters in a RPG? That full plated armor from your male character...when worn on your new female character it left half of her skin and you wonder how such armor can give equal defensive value as a full plated armor. This trope is called bikini armor and even appeared in games such as WoW in the good old time. Both Bikini Warriors and Otono no Bouguya-san are a parody on this phenomenon called bikini armor and fantasy gaming in general. Also both anime are fantasy anime and have short episodes so they don´t waste a lot of your time. So enjoy looking at women wearing sexy armor. The main difference is that Bikini Warriors is more action while Otona no Bouguyasan is just about about showing the bikini armor in a shop. Bikini Warriors is also more ecchi.

Want a cast of four to six young girls? Want to watch them do slice of life things complete with comedic elements, Shoujo Ai undertones, and even occasional overtones? Want to watch three seasons worth of it? Have I got the show for you.

Yuri romance between two high school girls who're unsure about their relationship

both have a similar feeling with both being reboots of a series. both have a transforming gimmick.

What's the truth of the world? The protagonists in both the series seek the answer to this question. The worldbuilding in these 2 series is unimaginably excellent. These 2 series take place in a world full of secrets and lies. They focus on supernatural mysteries and are deep and highly logical. There are lot of revelations that might leave you shocked. They share a similar eerie and dark atmosphere. It's interesting to see characters make deductions and strategies. SNK s3 is waaay better than its prequels. Music is exceptionally excellent. Art and background scenery is awesome. There will be interesting theories and philosophies.

These 2 are sequels to a series which have developed a deep mystery, but did not reveal a lot of answers. Finally, the answers are revealed (even if bot all in SNK s3 but a lot more than its prequels). There are too many secrets. I found them totally mind-blowing. It's interesting to see the characters make deductions and strategies. You might come to know that there were hints in the prequel but you missed them or things you thought to be less important turn out to be a key to solving the mystery.

Both are high school anime focusing on a main character who has the desire to help those around him, especially his closest friends. For every arc is a new supernatural event that occurs due to a problem that one or more of the characters is experiencing, yet has been hiding from the others. With this supernatural event the character or characters involved cannot hide themselves for very long, otherwise they'd suffer very terrible consequences that could harm not only themselves but those around him/her.

Both are stories involving children struggling with their present lives while having visions that extend through time.

If girls' power, friendships, teamwork, justice and love are your things, then A's definitely cannot be missed. Still, I recommend you to watch Nanoha's season one first in order to get a better understanding of the central characters. And you'll find that season two A's story development and plots are getting more appealing, while season three Strikers's story built up from the last two seasons and reached its climax.

Both are anime about parts of daily life relating to otaku culture.

If you enjoyed Hotarubi no Mori e, Kimi no Na wa is a similar story that you will also enjoy

I wasnt planning on using the "similar recomendation" thing but seems like im forced to do so , i put Fate/Zero for 2 main reasons : 1st both shows have a large roster of well made/developed characters and all of them have some importance in the overall plot and 2nd both shows become absolute awesome in their respective second seasons. And here's why you should watch this amazing show : 1:The show is able to handle and develop a roster of about +30 characters at the same time while giving them some self-scenes , also everyone of them is important in their own way , you basically feel like they are all independent individuals with their motivations, pasts , etc. 2:Since this is spoiler free i wont give any context neither i will say what happens but in the end of the 2nd season , every character who's been developed for 45 (aprox) episodes are part of what i think is the best scene i've ever seen , taking the scene literally a whole episode. 3:1st season is good but nothing special overall , but that entire season is basically a warm up for all the good stuff thats coming on the 2nd season , if you can enjoy the first season , you will love the entire show once you finish it 4:Koro-sensei

If you watch whisper of the heart before the cat returns this cat character will make more sense and it will give more depth to the movie, the cat returns.

On the surface, these two anime share nothing in common. One is a about a boy who swaps genders while the other is a boy who wants to play music. I find these two anime rather similar because they carry heavy themes of an important choice in your life. This choice must be made quickly if you wish to have a choice at all and switching choices will inevitably hurt somebody.

A war between two factions starts in one solar system and ends up on earth. Both are filled with Transformations and brave heroism.

Good Alien robots protect children from evil alien robots attempting to take over the universe.

Shows feature extremely similar topics, and if you like Yagate Kimi ni Naru, you will probably also enjoy its less popular predecessor. Both shows cover a lot of romance between its two female protagonists but also takes on a lot of darker and deeper themes. Strawberry Panic, much like Yagate Kimi ni Naru, also has one of the characters being the president of the student council. Something that I enjoy about each of these shows is how little annoying drama there is apart from a few understandable characters. Strawberry Panic can be seen as a little outdated, but I recommend giving it a shot.

The principles of witches in both animes are very similar. In both animes the witches travel out to different cities to find a city with no witch and become that city's witch. Both animes also have a very simple story lines which may appeal to both viewers in my opinion.

Both series are centered around martial arts and spiritual powers. Both main characters have great powers, but cannot use them due to limitations. Both have good action scenes.

Both series are centered around a character with an ambiguous background. In both series a central storyline is the destiny of the protagonist. Both characters posess great power, but cannot access or harness that power due to certain restrictions. Both characters are mocked and seen as talentless and undeserving by other characters (mostly those of antagonistic or rivalrous nature)
