Anime Recommendations

Both main characters coincidentally have the same hair color, and is pretty wholesome overall. Me personally i see tonikaku as shikimori after marriage.

- A protagonist who captivates the people around her after a sudden change - Some people fall in love with her, both men and women - She is very slow and doesn't notice people's feelings. Basically, it's anime of a flighty protagonist being chased by people with a love interest in her, both with comedy and great suitors

It gives the same kind of good pain feeling. When I try to think of the anime that made me feel most similar to White Album 2, this was the only one it could possibly be.

Masterpiece as well

Its cour 2, also a master-piece

On these two shows they explore a lot the worst of the war, about the political envolvement that the people from the two sides don't know and still dying because this. If you like mecha, good fights, amazing ost and a lot of feeeeels , will be perfect to you.

Both animes have a similar setting (pseudo mediaeval) and wolves play a crucial role in both mediums.

Both movies have a similar setting (pseudo mediaeval), a similar premise (an illness coming from wild animals) and similar themes.

In my opinion its more slice of life like then Kotaro Lives Alone but I still feel like whoever enjoys one would probably like the other too. They both have main characters whose parents aren't present in their life, and an older character who takes care of them. In Gakuen Babysitters its two brothers and one is in highschool while the other stays at the school daycare, which the older brother is a club member of. I'd say characters aren't really similar in personality though.

These anime have plenty of bishounen and fascinating relationships between the male leads that are sealed in blood. They are about genius-level lead characters who have faced trauma as children. The time period is set in Victorian England for both. They are both dark mystery-solving dramas. If you like one, you are sure to like the other!

The answer is not clear cut at all. While there are enormous facts pointing to two different worlds, there are several facts pointing to one single world. However, this could just be a coincidence if it was a joined but separate world, meaning that the two Saya's (Main character in both the series) are different people. It is clearly stated that Saya is not the girl's real name in Blood-C, that it was just a name given to her by her captor. There are other recurring characters in similar roles throughout the Series as well. Still, overall, the stories are quite different and have their own unique elements.

Both protagonists have similar personalities and have a similar world building and story

Propagandistic and politically motivated animations promotion a certain way to conduct country and the economy.

Little girl gets lost in unfamiliar fantasy land. Both of these anime are adaptations of classic western stories.

Both are comedy anime that are known for their great humor. These animes both have great and unique comedy that doesn't rely completely on overused tropes like most anime do, instead, they both make fun of these tropes and create a great comedic story.

Both shows have similar humor and harem, about a high school male protagonist who has to tutor a group of girls of the same age. Both are great romance harem, if you like one of these, you should try watching the other one!

Erased and Orange have similar plots, just in different genres. Erased is a mystery/ thriller series, while Orange is a romance drama. However, both of the plots involve characters learning that someone in their life is going to die sometime in the future. These characters have a type of time travel that aids them. As they struggle to save the lives of the people they care about, our protagonists grow closer to those they try to save and even fall in love. Orange focuses on changing the future, while Erased focuses on changing the past.

Do you like superheroes? Well if so, keep reading. There are many types of superheroes: - Some who got their powers because of an accident - Some become heroes of their own right - Some become superheroes after they were originally a bad guy - Some become superheroes after a tragic past And so on, and so forth. In my opinion, it's actually weird for me to recommend both of these in the same light. But see, here's the thing. Both of these, despite their differences, have one thing in common: Exploring what it REALLY MEANS to be a superhero. First off.. One Punch Man, is a story about someone who became a hero.. for fun. See, every villain he ever faced would instantly be defeated (or die) because of his punch. One punch. Because of this, Saitama feels like life is already done for him, thus the emptiness starts to kick in. In the world he lives in, villains appear left and right, some weaker than others, some even stronger than others, but nevertheless, Saitama never got beaten... or will he? See, Saitama, is in many ways like Goku (from Dragonball). He clearly loves to fight, he gets a kick out of it. Which is another reason why he became a hero. One Punch Man explores what it feels like to live life all over again, and what life can be, and how it can be. Emptiness and boredom is lethal, even if you are having fun right now, sometimes you just can't help but feel.. empty again. Well, One Punch Man explores that. Many of the stuff I want to talk about are spoilers, so I'll just leave it at this, if that's you're cup of tea. Go ahead, watch it. But if you already did, then... My Hero Academia. This one, unlike the all-powerful Saitama is an underdog. Do you know Robin from Batman? Well, even he would be sad for Deku. See, Deku was born without any sort of quirk, basically powers that manifest after a certain period of time. He's a fan of superheroes, and he also wants to be like them. He's basically YOU, if you're a superhero fan. Now.. let's face it. Shonen can feel samey, but in my honest opinion, My Hero Academia has something to offer. Something else to offer, mind you. See every Shonen character wants to be something, some more skillfull than others. But Midoriya or Deku is something you can like because HE'S REALLY TRYING. And it's engaging to see that. There's more to this anime than meets the eye, believe it or not. Most of it spoilers so I'll avoid it, but nevertheless.. What does it mean to be a hero? Well, I'll leave that question up to you! I highy recommend these two anime, especially if you've watched one of them already. Comedy can be somewhat different for both of them, but I think it's the message that can give you a worthwhile time. Watch them, try them, I highly recommend them. Go ahead, be a hero!

Few shows have ever touched up the human psyche. The feeling of emptiness even when lives goes on and continues. Life can be funny but it can also feel sad and alone. We laugh to keep our hopes up but never once do we dream of failure, but when it does, it's how we handle it that makes it matter. In my opinion, Bunny Girl Senpai and Angel Beats have that feeling. These two shows borders the line between the comedic parts of life and the sad parts. Each character you get to know on a personal level, which matters considering the "why" they were even introduced to the show in the first place. Some people in these shows have a "something". Without any spoilers, of course; these "something" let you know these characters on a more intimate level. See, life can be happy. But these characters feel like they're living life the way we live it, by persevering. Life can be a burden, not just because of the way our life is currently, but because in my personal opinion, even those we carried in our past hold us down. We idolize people, we look up to people, we even want to be like others. But life just doesn't follow wishes, it gives it to people when the time is right. Even happiness. I think if you're looking for something that can pull your heartsrings while also giving you a good time, ala comedy via the communication and exchanges between the characters; these two anime can do it for you. Just be prepared, I guess. Because you might shed tears even before you know it. PS: Ever wondered why we meet friends, why we get annoyed by them, but yet we stick by their side regardless of their shortcomings? Okay, just asking. Anyways, look these anime up! Highly recommend.

In prison (Rainbow) or prison-like conditions (In Evil or Live, the children are sent to an "Elite Reeducation Academy" (aka a "corrections" school where the classes are grueling drills and the food is abhorrent) for their internet addiction), the people are treated harshly by the overseers. Rainbow is a much more comradery anime with a leader uniting everyone together, whereas Evil or Live has a power dynamic/struggle within the school -- with both students and instructors. Rainbow is done much better than Evil or Live, though.

both are mecha series about a giant living machine that came to earth from elsewhere. both have sibling dynamic. in both one of the parties' goals is revenge.

both have similar concept of a giant living mecha that is also an ancient god. both dance around such topics as environmental issues.

both are set in japan after a massive catastrophe. in both there's a giant living mecha that is something akin to a deity. the plot revolves around the conflict between humans of earth and those from "the other side".

girls on a road trip through post apocalyptic wasteland. both play on contrast between cutesy chara designs and melancholical setting.

These shows are great comedies about groups of friends hanging out, and if you enjoyed one of them, I'm sure you'll have a great time with the other. While Daily Lives is set in highschool, Grand Blue is set in college (but it focuses a lot more in the diving club), and it honestly feels like the characters in Grand Blue could be a grown up version of characters from Daily Lives, they definitely have a similar feel to them.

Banana Fish and Elfen Lied are dark, sad anime about horrendously abused children trying to escape from the patterns and lifestyles they were brought up in. Unfortunately, as the characters fall in love and try to better themselves they also find themselves falling deeper into darkness. These stories can be very disturbing at times but remain poignant. They both come to a close with somewhat controversial endings, but I think each show does a really interesting—albeit very different—job of exploring if someone can truly be doomed from birth.

Hilarious misadventures centered around adorable and charming characters with simple plots and settings that don’t try to do too much

war, military and story writing and character design share similarities

They're both about teams of protaganists fighting evil monsters and creations to get to a similar goal. (sorry if im using this wrong this is the first reccomendation iv done. just tryna get the hang of it!)

Both are shows about teenagers that don't want to waste their highschool lives. Both feature realistic wacky conversations/events between characters and many references to other anime.

Troubled teenage girl is looking for a space to stay away from her home.

Both are mostly episodic anime about a main character who solves mysterie. The two main characters, Houtarou and Holmes, use logic to deduce simple mysteries. The main difference is that Hyouka takes place in a high school while Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes takes place at an antique shop in Kyoto. Both shows have a relaxing atmosphere and a small romance subplot.

Now I know what you're thinking. How on earth could Kaguya-sama, a parody romcom, possibly be remotely similar to Re:Zero, a psychological thriller isekai? Well thats because Kaguya-sama isn't just a romcom. Kaguya-sama is a romcom that starts out as a comedy and turns into a psychological seinen masterpiece. This series is a masterclass at writing compelling characters that you just cant help but root for, and Re:Zero is the same in that regard. Anyway here's the bullet points: - Both series has a huge focus on psychology (depression, anxiety, gratification, self-worth) - Both series have well-developed characters that are focused on self-improvement (Miyuki, Subaru) - Lots of suspense and exciting moments. - Characters that start out as the underdog and slowly builds up reputation (Miyuki, Subaru) - The idea that one should hide their true self. This topic is explored in both series.

Patalliro! and Level E's protagonists feel basically the same: both shows tell a story of intelligent princes/kings who love pulling pranks on others and use their genius to annoy everyone around, especially their closest guardian.

Beautiful tragedies where the climax deals with imagery within starry sky background for its main characters with celestial audio work. Lots of symbolisms but Giovanni no Shima is more crystal clear while Madoka Magica can be more grandiose in appearance while having more subtle meaning.

Both take place in dystopic cities, loaded with corruption caused by the power minority. Main characters use prosthetic robotic parts, and go through a inner quest. Quite uncanny settings.

very enjoyable. 50/50 plot and romance. also pretty funny. both animes devolop the romance than just rushing into it. no chunibyo in toradora, but still nice dynamics and kinda relatable characters

Similar characters designs, Yor = Kaguya, Loid = Shirogane, Anya = Chika. Both character hides secret from another.

• The theme of immortal characters passing through time • Dark, gorey, and torture scenes • The ability to extract knowledge/memories from immortals to another entity • Witty references to classical literature e.g. Allan Poe in Baccano and de l'Isle-Adam in Mnemosyne • Mystery, suspense, and supernatural powers

Both Main characters suffer throughout and are stuck in a time loop.they both use this power to try to make a better reality/future for them

In both anime the protagonist gets trapped inside a game world and will lose something important if they die.

if you liked Makishima you'll like liam moriarty, crimes good or bad type of dillemas are reused also its drawn by the same person and the people are just as hot

Girl with super powers, gets adopted by a man with a dangerous profession, in the format of a SoL comedy. Both have their fair share of hilarious moments with some scenes that can bring a tear to your eye; Not out of sadness, but of wholesomeness.

All of the Stride or Volleyball action respectively is really enjoyable to watch. I really like the charcters in both animes

Both are about traditional Japanese table top games, both protagonists are surrounded by people who are supporting them emotionally, both make a club dedicated too said game, and the main characters considered professionals in their leagues.

It shows the two side of anime making. One shows how production is like in making anime and the other shows the struggles of Seiyuu's lives.

Spy X Family and Lupin III are action comedy series that brilliantly uses stock characters to create its humour through their actions and interactions. Lupin III follows a gentleman thief, a gunslinger, a ronin, and a femme fatale who are often working together to carry out heists. Spy X Family follows a spy, an assassin, and an esper who are hiding their identifies from each other while pretending to be a family for their own individual goals. You could not consider a better follow-up series than this recommendation.

- Powerful teenage boys as the main lead with bad sibling relationship. - Both could possibly be king of their world - Incomplete anime

- People that could turn into animals - One girl, two boys, who will be her husband - God is a female around teenage age - People testing the lead star - "Where is the rest of her family?" - Main lead living with boys

* The shows both feature a distraught MC that has issues. * Both have a somewhat similar art-style and animation. * Romance targeting the MC's friends are present in both but are targeted differently in each. * Both have a decent story, although ReLife has a much longer and more fulfilling story with better character development.

Similar storylines regarding love and confessions. While Bloom Into You is a pure drama, compared to Kaguya as a romcom, their core themes are the same enough that viewers of one will still get a kick out of the other.

both are centered around exorcists. in both main duo is a young human exorcist and their demon buddy with sealed powers (who switches forms between a cutie mascot and a hot piece of ass). both are set in era different from modern days.

historical figures from ancient times enjoying mundanity of modern japan, while referencing legendary episodes from their previous lives in all sorts of comedic contexts. both are very lighthearted and enjoyable.

Super Crooks and Lupin III: Part IV are series focused on a charismatic main character that leads a ragtag crew of criminals in various heists. Lupin III and Johnny Bolt have similar motivations that guides them: the thrill of being thieves, and their love of beautiful women. Lupin is an affable gentleman thief who always wins. Johnny is a loser who always struggles despite his superpowers. Lupin III might be a long running franchise, but its episodic format allows new viewers to start at any point in the series. If you love the heists then these series should be on your radar.

To be honest, they just remind me of each other. They do both have historical and mythological contexts with supernatural powers. And the mc's in both hold a strong power, especially in Amatsuki where people fight over him. They're different in how Amatsuki is an isekai (mc is on a history field trip when he suddenly gets teleported to the actual city). And the mc's have different personalities will the mc of Amatsuki being on the gentler and kinder side, while the mc of Hakkenden has a little bit of ego.

Both of them are about ballet and inspired by the Swan Lake love story. Therefore, both of them have moments of a fairy tale in which there is a love story between a prince and princess and a curse by the evil sorceress. They both include a wide variety of classical music too and of course ballet dance steps. Dance Dance Danseur is a more realistic anime, whereas Princess Turu belongs more to the fantasy genre.

Both anime’s are involved in dangerous games to pay off their debt. Both series leave us in the depths of hopelessness before surprising us with an unexpected play by the main character. They are both suspenseful and emphasize philosophies tied with greed and money. Both teach us the bad side of society and the true desires of the people around us, with betrayal and deceit. All in all both kaiji and tomodachi game keep us on the edge of our seat as we watch the main character jump hurtles to try and solve the hopeless situation they find themselves in.

One of those anime where the main character is too smart for the other characters, not because he is some kind of genius, because they are just stupid, anyways watching tomodachi game will probably leave you with a headache, so have fun!!

They share a humans-youkai concept in common, and take place in a similar city. Also both have intense fights and pretty nice soundtracks.

Dance Dance Danseur is about ballet and Ballroom e Youkoso is about ballroom dancing but they are very similar in terms of characters, development of the story and the art style. They are both focusing on a young boy who is indecisive about his future. In both of the animes, main protagonist finds the passion and joy in his life and works hard to develop himself in order to achieve his dreams. Both of the animes have 2 male characters who are rivals with each other and 2 female characters.

The main character is trying to fight their way out of video game to get back home.

The main character has been transported into another world and it's like a video game to them while it's real life for the residents of the world in both anime.

JJK is heavily inspired and even references Bleach directly, it has a similiar setting and concept, tho executed differently. Also if you like urahara, chances are youd like Gojo. Both also got the inner demon troupe going and got amazing fights

Noragami also has the spiritual world with invisible monsters , and the also invisual in a seperate society living gods that protect them from them. Both protags have dark side to them - tho differently executed, both shows have the aspect of having a bound to their weapon, tho noragami does this a lot more than bleach. Also both are great shounen with amazing fights, osts and atmosphere

Listen, I know this sounds crazy. They seem like they have nothing in common. But in both anime, an old man from foregone war-torn era meets good folk and leverages their wit and wisdom to help the people they meet resolve their flaws and reach their goals, while they reflect on and move on from their own past.

Both have similar builds to present you the main topic: which girl will win the MC. If you don't like this kind of story, just don watch it, but as i watched a lot o shows to find the one that could make me feel as i felt watching 5-toubun no hanayome, for those who are hunting for these kind of content, Saekano is a great option.

The two "short run" animes, with almost identical adventure stories between both. Set in feudal Japan era, are definitely two animes with a strong historical theme.

Both have young, innocent female main characters with buns, gintoki and loid are both fathers that are not blood related

I mean for this is "monogatari series" and "mushishi series". These two are very interesting animes. Highly class of mystery genre.

Another great and underrated slice of life. Focuses on a group of girls rather than a girl and her "dad", but both shows share the same wholesome and comfy vibes. Plus the OPs are done by the same singer so if that doesn't let you know they are in the same category I don't know what will.

I would recommend this because both follow a story of a boy with a strong passion to create their own forms of art.

Two close people living as their relationship are compared to the story books brought into life as a major plot point. Liz and the Blue Bird is more enjoyable if you are already familiar with the relationship of the main characters from the main series Hibike! Euphonium from a specific arc, whereas Giovanni's Island can be more impactful if you are not familiar with the story of Night of the Galactic Railroad at all.

There are so much things that's similar in both of these animes... but they still so singular and unique. The strengh from the two female lead are amazing and such beautiful to see. Very well, if you like Shirayuki-hime, you'll love Yona-hime. Give it a chance, you'll like it, for sure.

Both relied on incredibly compelling conversations to tell the story Both have really well-written and lovable characters/theme Both have an animated ending (which is sometime rare)

They both deal with the supernatural the main characters look a like and both badass but Gungrave is longer and deals with a lot of Mafia stuff Devil May Cry has 12 episodes and Gungrave has 26 episodes

I think it has the same feel and tone as dark then black but Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom is more realistic because it has no powers just a lot of violence

In both the main character(s) are slowly driven to dementia and paranoia, using a mainly first-person narrative which might deceive the viewer. If you're into being mind-blown, please consider watching both.

Both are avant-garde pieces centered in Dissociative Identity Disorder, with a non-conventional storytelling, unreliable narration and the blurring of reality and fiction.

They both feel similar in some ways. In SM, there is young boy living with his uncle while in GB there is two siblings who lost their parents. They both show some family love thingy. In SM, the young boy does all of the housework while in GB the older brother is a babysitter

Same concept of two classmates sitting next to each other. Both are procedural show, but Seki-kun is comedy-fitst with almost no plot while Aharen-san is romcom and has meatier story. Similar style of humor (misunderstandings and hyperactive imagination) and chemistry between main characters.

-same vibe -both has game of wits -strategist and intelligent MC -both MC appears to be weak but they are clever -both has game/battle genre

I don’t have any expectations for this two. But they just blew my mind. I highly recommend this two underated anime's.

Both are extremely dark series in not just its depiction violence but its depiction of a brutal unforgiving world. Frankly I think Ima, soko ni iru boku is far more extreme in how dark it is.

Both have a very similar dark yet colorful style and the topic of games and gambling is very present in both.

Both staring powerful female leads that are determined to live there lifes the way they want after being driven out of there originally homes.

Although its a bit darker, the idea of detectives is the same and they both have a very good animation style as well.

Pretty similar in some ways, like being more realistic and serious in some aspects. (also being a isekai)

Both have a play, or get fucked badly kind of plot as well as a focus on a ya cast and their unique motivations into the circumstances that they got themselves into. And also fighting against a much higher power that controls everything as well too. And both sharing deadly blonde femme fatale type villains.

Both have gambling, risk taking, blood, smart crazy protagonist

similar concept except one anime got mechas and the other got magical girls. Both are deconstructions of their respective genres and both tackle the concept of what if ____ existed in real life

These two animes have some similarity. Young MCs who made chaos and mature MC who tried to stopped the chaos caused by them.

(for the record if i compare the persona 5 anime i really mean to compare the main canon source but that's a video game and my anime list dont include video games in their arsenal so this will have to do) with that said.. how mirai nikki compares to the persona 5 story is that the same plot device is used..both the mirai nikki crew and the persona 5 crew use cell phones as part of each of their respective plot detail....the miria nikki cast use theirs for death battles and stalking and the phantom thieves use theirs to teleport ...both mirai nikki and persona 5 have morally grey characters.. anti heros and chaotically good heroes...a girl with some psychological issues of sorts though one is more or less the mascot of her respective show appearing early while the other is more under the radar and appears late in her respective franchise

Unnerving horror/psychological elements work quite effectively in both shows. Similar themes of making compromises and overcoming disasters. Still, prepare to keep more notes when watching Boogiepop.

Both football related Both have IRL references to teams/players They are both similiar in their core story

both are coming of age movies that have an adult female as the protagonist and show a very varied range of life while having an emphasis on family life

Themes that stood out to me in "My Roommate is a Cat" were regret over the relationships with family members lost, and how to make new relationships to overcome that regret. "Deaimon" has a similar theme, in that a character is often brooding over the loss of a relationship and is being nearly prodded and dragged into new relationships, not to forget the old relationship, but to help heal the wounds. "My Roommate is a Cat" happened to use a pet as the new relationship and portal to more new relationships, while "Deiamon" has a fully human cast.

This series also features eccentric characters whose lives coincide when you least expect them to. The protagonist of both series takes the apparent role of the observer/outsider to the general craziness at first, and are both somewhat embody the "only sane by comparison" trope. There's a particular focus on the development of the characters' individual plotlines, and side characters can be elevated to star status at a moment's notice via impeccable character writing.

These series features idiosyncratic characters whose daily lives interweave in often unforeseen or interesting ways. You will more than once see situations wherein antagonistically-positioned characters passing each other on the street (whether the characters themselves know their position relative to one another or not) and engaging in b-plots that either convolute or advance the underlying main plot. There is a shared focus on introspective and philosophical dialogue, and both series features beautiful artwork and animation.

The same Atmosphere, snow, creatures, old Japanese civilisation You can’t go wrong with that feel Hisuian Snow is like a Mushishi ep, but with Pokemon

-Similarities similar setting (both in a village) sinister characters murder and supernatural elements time loops squad fighting the evil -Differences In HNNKN there's more violence and a more philosophical approach of the situation from some characters while SR is lighter and includes romantic elements
