Anime Recommendations

The heroins are very kind and searching for happiness The romance is slow and beautiful

Blue Giant and Nodame Cantabile have very different storylines and characters, but this does not matter. I have waited a long time for a music themed anime that is all about the music, that is not an idol show, not a competition, and not a high school anime. The main characters are passionate musicians who must forge their own paths as they face obstacles. If you have also been searching for a music themed anime every season then maybe this movie will be enough.

Both involve grief and have MCs who are on a mission to do something on behalf of a person who is dead or missing perhaps for the missing person or perhaps for themselves to bring some kind of closure.

Both treat about cosplay, and both are very good. This is a mixed feelings. The cosplay thematic is very competitive and, dramatic. In particular, theses two animes caught my attention, and it is very popular. Both with good animations and beautiful Waifus.

Both Sunred and Miss Kuroitsu are parodies of the tokusatsu genre, focusing on the day-to-day mundanity of the lives of heroes and villains. Both deal with an evil secret organization full of quirky monsters, often in slice-of-life situations. Also - Sunred himself, General Vamp, and other Sunred characters have a quick background cameo in Miss Kuroitsu!

If you enjoyed Apothecary Diaries, then I'd highly recommend Yona of the Dawn. Both the female leads from each respective anime share similar traits, such as both being quite stubborn and strong-willed, as well as smart and independent, but they are also unique in their own ways, both have individualized strengths and attributes that set them apart from one another. Both worlds are set in an older fantasy setting involving kingdom's and royalty, and they both have a historical feel to them (though, I can't explicitly say Yona of the Dawn is a historical anime as it is set it's own unique world, but it has the feeling of being historical due to the time period it is set in.) And of course, Yona of the Dawn has not only one attractive male lead (whos honestly a little similar to Jinshi,) but multiple other attractive male characters in the main cast! all with their own unique personalities that honestly blend in very well with each other, a classic reverse harem, but it is honestly very well done and doesn't feel cliche (most of the time.) Also, the animation and character design in both series are absolutely stunning! Your eyes won't get bored watching Yona of the Dawn, I can promise that.

What would happen when you give some of the most popular American franchises to Japanese animators? In 2008, we were given the opportunity to find out with Batman: Gotham Knight, a six-film anthology collection. It took 13 years until the release of Star Wars: Vision for a new anthology collection based on an American franchise. With the support of Disney+, it easily the most well known and liked Japanese adaptation of an American franchise. Both anthologies involved multiple studios creating their own shorts with industry veterans. It makes for two very eclectic collections with very different ideas for the Batman and Star Wars.

Two isekai's with an MC that becomes an adventurer going on adventures accompanied by beings from the isekai-world. They both have talking animals in them but main difference is that Iseyuru has the MC look after two children as well. One of the main similarities is that they bring recipes/food knowledge from Earth to the isekai whilst both shows maintain a healthy balance of action adventure sequences and light-hearted fun. Tonsuki is also a gourmet anime and heavily relies on this aspect whereas Iseyuru uses food every now and then but see characters enjoy digging in to good food. If you like a fun relaxing time that makes you happy in one, you'll also enjoy the other one.

Both r kinda like power rangers meets magical girl

Both have the mc and friends fighting against powerful monstrous foes while trying not to die in the process.

Action packed city destruction and it has a mysterious emo quiet guy in both

-Female character that isn`t Human -Main character that eventually falls in love with them -Both Female characters try to keep the MC happy and safe and protect him -Both MC fight for the female character -Bioth have a unique story -Sora no Otoshimono has a more comedy like feeling to it than Atri but it has it`s serious moments that make you get up from your chair If you like Atri you might like Sora no Otoshimono too

Although the stories aren`t really that similar, i think you`ll like the relationship between the main characters, both anime have the same feeling of feelings involved between the characters, although in Atri they come a bit later on in the story with the romance. But they`re quite similar, about 6/10 similaritty, but you get the same vibe from both of them.

-Both have mixed feelings coming from the MC to the Android female character in the beginning -Slowly falls inlove with the Android -Both female characters start to care about the mc deep down -Planetarian has a more harsher "reality" in their world -Both are about a ruined world although in Planetarian it`s caused by androids and in Atri by the Ocean -Planetarian will make you cry, as for Atri i don`t know because it`s still ongoing -Similar vibe between the anime -The same viasual style for both of them -Both female characters are "kawaii" in their way -They both have one goal in the end that they want to acomplish Planetarian also has a movie which gives a more detailed ending with more events that happened after the Anime`s ending so don`t forget to watch the movie and skip close to the end to see it.

-Romance between the Main Character and a female A.I -Both rely on each other -Both love each other -Slowly developing relationship as episodes go on, although In NGNL Zero it was done better -Stunning and unique visuals -Similar paced story for both -Both have a "apoclyptic" world Overall they`re really similar, although i think NGNL is a step up to Atri If you like one you`ll like the other

Anime about school delinquents, who fight with other gangs of delinquents belonging to different schools. The protagonist ends up creating some strange friendships with the people from his school.

Modest Heroes and Memories are anthology films composed of three shorts created by industry veterans. Each short film has a unique story and character design. Many anime fans will overlook shorts for one reason or another, but if you open yourself to them then you will discover a whole new segment of anime. Finding your favourite short film is one of the small pleasures with watching an anthology. I hope this recommendation will help you on your path of discovery.

Both animes include a masculine, strong male character and have a focus on fighting. Side characters also behave in this way, and all have a unique fighting style/technique.

Both feature interesting takes on time travel and characters with lots of depth of emotion and deep relationships with each other.

Slice of life shows about managing evil monster organizations as they battle against local heroes. Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu was definitely influenced by Sunred, in fact, the whole gang makes an appearance in episode 11 starting at 7:05

If you're looking for people who embody the character of being lost in the world, here's where you'll find them.

Both animes have female protagonists showing their routines and how they deal with each situation without too much drama or anything similar, they are great to watch on a normal day in the highest vibe of the day. Therefore, both animes are good and have a pleasant plot full of cute girls doing cute things.

Talent. In the world of music, talent is everything, but even more important is being able to inject your emotions into your sound. This is what separate talented artists from inspirational artists. Saxophonist Dai (Blue Giant) and singer Mafuyu (Given) are some of these artists. Their sound captivates audiences and talented musicians despite being relatively new to music. Blue Giant and Given have very different characters and storylines with their own shortcomings, but this will not matter if their journeys and music captivates you.

Both are sports shonen battle anime that follow a fight-loving, spiky-haired protagonist (Ikki/Mori) who has no real goal except moving up the ranks in their respective fields. In both cases, they're accompanied by a red-haired glasses-wearing girl with some kind of inheritance (Mira is heir to the Moonlight Sword style, while Ringo is heir to the Sleeping Forest). Both shows also have great music. I prefer "The God of High School", as it has better visuals and a story that actually feels like it goes somewhere. Even so, if you like one, you will probably like the other.

Both are romantic slice-of-life shoujo anime following a friendless girl who ends up grabbing the attention of the most popular boy in her school. However, they're friendless for different reasons- in "Kimi ni Todoke", Sawako wants friends but can't make any due to always causing misunderstandings about herself, while in "Say I Love You", Mei avoids making friends due to being betrayed in the past. Either way, both of them end up making real friends due to the help of the boy they befriend (Shota Kazehaya and Yamato Kurosawa, respectively). "Say I Love You", however, is a lot darker and heavier than "Kimi ni Todoke". I prefer "Kimi ni Todoke", as it's just better in every way except visuals. Essentially, it's definitive proof that 'lighter and softer' is sometimes the best way to go.

Both are dystopian sci-fi anime set in societies that seem peaceful on the surface, but in truth are glorified cages where people have their every move monitored by a sinister government, though "Fractale" has a happier tone overall. Several characters in both shows can also be compared to each other: Vincent=Clain Re-l=Phryne Pino=Nessa Raul=Dias There are a couple others, but that would be a spoiler. Interestingly, both shows trick you into believing one characters the protagonist when it's actually another- "Ergo Proxy" makes you think Re-l's the main character when it's actually Vincent and "Fractale" makes you think Clain's the main character when it's actually Phryne. I prefer "Ergo Proxy", as it has much better visuals and more character development.

Both are fantasy anime starring a red-haired heroine who ends up having a chance encounter with a mysterious man (the titular Ancient Magus/Sacred Blacksmith) and end up forming a strange relationship with them. Chise and Cecily both start off rather weak and requiring others to save them but become far more capable as time goes on. While their overall demeanours are very different, Elias and Luke are very alike overall. They're both aloof, selfish, have a mixed reputation among those they are acquainted with, live in a house in the middle of nowhere and have a mysterious blond-haired girl working for them as their assistant. They even have the same friggin' surname! The main difference between the two anime is that "The Sacred Blacksmith" is a straight medieval fantasy, while "The Ancient Magus' Bride" is a contemporary fantasy in which the main character just happen to be old-fashioned. That said, "The Ancient Magus' Bride" is better in pretty much every way.

both stories are set in ancient China, both female protagonists are similar in their diligence in their line of work, both are about solving mysteries in an emperor's palace

Both anime share a similar premise: musicians have a chance encounter leading them to make music together and aim for greatness. Carole and Tuesday with dogged determination despite society seemingly not be interested in their music. Dai and Yukinori pursue music with intensity and single-minded attention making success seems inevitable due to their talent. Music is core to the storyline and there are plenty of music playing scenes to look forward to.

Kuze and Hikki gave me the same vibes. While they appear to be loners/slackers on the surface, they both have an incredible ability to influence events. Each falls in love with the pretty but abrasive and help her achieve a goal and come into her own. Throughout this process, he comes to be a big part of the student council and gain the attention of multiple women, who may or may not have feelings for him. While Oregairu is more dramatic, both the MC and main love interest are strikingly similar, and these shows give off a similar viibe.

nichijou has the similar comedy structure to azumanga daioh. i would recommend nichijou if you like azumanga daioh & vice versa 😁

Both feature adventure experiences in various places and solving problems in the cities they visit. Other things that make both have the same vibe include CGDCT, 4 Girls, and surrealist depictions.

An epic and complex story spanning years, with similar themes such as revenge and morality. Additionally, the protagonist is quite similar to that of AOT in the beginning, and it is fascinating to see how their arc differs as it progresses. Lots of action, emotion, and worldbuilding as well.

Both are thrillers. Both have mind-boggling plot twists and cliffhangers at nearly the end of every episode. Both have fire soundtracks and amazing music. Both have the ability to make you cry. Both contain foreshadowing and details you will notice upon rewatch. Both of these shows will blow your mind, except Link Click season 2 is way better than the Promised Neverland Season 2.

Even though they're different genres, these two give very similar vibes imo, mainly because of the main characters. First, the main characters have the same Japanese VA, Daiki Yamashita. The main characters are both hard-working, silly, nerdy, and passionate about their interests (anime for Onoda, and heroes for Deku). They are both inspirational, and motivate you to work hard to accomplish your dreams.

Much like Saitama, Sunred is a hero who's lost his passion. Monsters are too easy to defeat, and his life has become a dull routine. However, Sunred's relationship with monsters is a bit more amicable than Saitama's. General Vamp - leader of the Florsheim Monsters - is more like Sunred's affable arch-frenemy, frequently showing up at his house just to hang out. The show largely about the day-to-day slice-of-life downtime between heroes and villains. If you like OPM's sense of humor, you might like Sunred's as well.

Psycho-Pass is like looking into a world where Death Note's Light Yagami won. Society has become an authoritarian state, where people can be legally killed purely on suspicion for their *potential* to commit crimes, even if they haven't done anything wrong yet. It's a really thrilling story in a dystopian society, with some pretty well-written characters to really carry it all.

Like Excel Saga, Miss Kuroitsu is a comedic series about a secret society that wants to take over the world. They both parody anime tropes and have a similar humorous tone.

They're aesthetically similar and both also feature a confusing convoluted story. They both are heavily inspired by "Shoujo Kakumei Utena" and feature lots of references to it, so you might like it if you want something thematically similar. Do note that Yurikuma Arashi is quite explicit in content compared to Mekakucity Actors.

The Terminator franchise might have some very philosophical themes, but it was always more action driven. Its anime strikes a different balance and in doing so sets up a new dynamic for The Terminator trope that pays off at the end. Terminator 0 has more in common with Ghost in the Shell than the Predator franchise. Both anime spend more time on philosophical dialogues about humanity. It is these moments that makes you want to rewatch them to analyze their themes better. This is what makes Ghost in the Shell iconic. If you are a fan of Ghost in the Shell then you will be surprised at what Terminator 0 can offer.

They follow the same plot structure in many different ways: - The main character has an uncontrollable beast inside. - They are part of a team in order to develop their magic abilities (ninja/sorcery). - The teacher is a white-haired man with his face partially covered in both cases. - They follow the same structure of students: funny main character, edgy partner and a girl, but in JJK the girl is well written, unlike in Naruto.

This will be helpful as I don't really leave recommendations as I am just a casual anime fan. But both anime is striking with similar vibes but different settings. I was really curious as both protagonist displays same behaviour. Please check on pointers below. -Both Female protagonist has the same seiyuu hence the reason it has the same vibe when watching. -Both has historical setting; only difference is—Gosick is Western/European and Kusuriya is Eastern/Oriental setting. -Both Female MC loves mystery and indeed smart; their difference is—Victorique loves mystery that much and would love to solve any case/mystery there is as she is too bored. Whilst, Maomao loves being an apothecary and solving cases and she is stuck with a lot of physical work and used to do manual labor. I can provide a lot of list just to enumerate and highlight the similarity but there are spoilers. I guess it's best to watch it instead if you're into tsundere-pettanko-smart MC. You'll love how both MC resolve every case and is adamant when they have all the pieces together to get it solved.

Funny fighting and aliens. Short episodes. Random humor and weirdly wholesome characters.

This anime is definitely similar as they both have a (cute) little kid, with parents with secret jobs. In my opinion I do like Spy x Family more but I feel like Miri acts more like a little kid laughing and annoying her parents while Anya is kinda like a mini spy as she has telekinesis. Still love both so if you like Buddy Daddies Spy family is definitely the best series to watch

Being in your twenties is hard, especially when you're a young man struggling with women, friends, and self image. It makes you both miserable and unpleasant. And that's an important thing to represent on screen, as seen in both of these anime

An extremely specific way of presenting the main characters' opponents with gay camp elements. Deadly threats are presented at once humorously and macabre. Additionally, children are placed in situations that are completely inappropriate for their age.

In both series, a group of children under the leadership of a strange adult face deadly threats. In addition, all of them are colorful, intriguing characters, and the threats are presented in a funny and at the same time macabre way.

Both have a female protag that's fighting to win their kingdom back. They both go on journies (although one is more heavy and isekai-ish). But overall, similar vibes if you're looking for something to scratch that itch.

Same concept of becoming young again, going to high school and trying to reform your life. Both the protagonists are jobless at first but they use their broad knowledge and experience to change their life and the ones around them. They try to establish a good future for themselves as well as influencing hugely in others lives. Both have slice of life and romance genre materials in it.

Two fighters training for the impossible

Okay so at first when you see this anime they are completely different, but hear me out. Simmilar trope of the main characters that technically shouldnt be in love but fall for eachother anyways. Main male lead looks akwardly simmilar so if you are searching for main character with black hair and stoic vibes you got it too Also in both wordls there is magic. In Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant its more "typical earth with magic" and in Fairy Tale its full new magical world of fairies Both anime are slowburn too!!

Both are isekais focused on food preparation. The food takes the central stage and looks delicious. Though beyond that, they are fairly different, because Campfire Cooking is super chill with no real challenges and is slice of life with no central conflict or goal, and Cinderella Chef is plot driven with difficulties to overcome.

Both are chill slice of life with minimal to no conflict. Both have a lot of focus on the simple enjoyment of food.

• Both anime were made by the same game company, Sprite Although both plots are different • both had similar character designs

Both Erased and Steins;Gate deal with a character forced to correct mistakes made in the past that affected their future life. These series deal with themes of sadness and regret and force the main character to make difficult decisions that will have a lasting impact.

If the stage play aspect of either shows was something that you enjoyed about it, I definitely suggest the other. Mars red has a far more "stage like" presentation as a whole, with it's story telling and even dialogue at times being similar to what you would see in a Shakespeare drama script, while oshi no ko dives into the creation of a stage play from the producers perspective, and does a fantastic job displaying the peak of modern theatre presentation. Both in their own way bring an aspect of stage plays to life in an authentic way, so if that seems interesting to you, check both of them out.

If you ignore the romance stuff, the story structure is quite similar to another. As in Fruits Basket and in Little Busters, the main thing the protagonist does is listen and help broken people with their problems and worries, and many of the people that need help also have traumatic backgrounds, as does the protagonist.

Tragedy, love, sadness, chaos, gory, sexual, melancholic. Both main characters have too gentle of hearts for the world/situation they are placed in.

As Shinichiro Watanabe himself has said that Lupin III had the most influence on his work, it is no surprise that Cowboy Bebop shares strong similarities with this show. Faye and Fujiko are both manipulative characters who use their sex appeal for personal gain. Jet and Jigen have similar character designs and attitudes towards women, as chivalrous opponents who have misgivings about them but will aid them when necessary. While Spike and Lupin have different personalities, there is noticeable overlap in their slim body types and facial expressions. I am recommending this Fujiko Mine reboot over the 1971 original because it has a grittier and more serious tone which fits some of Bebop's drama-oriented and solemn episodes.

It's just the supernatural version of the Bunny Girl Senpai series, with arcs separated according to its heroines. The personality of one of the main heroines, Senjougahara Hitagi matches Sakurajima Mai quite profoundly.

The anime industry has been creating adult animation for decades. A legacy possible due to the success of Akira, which proved that there was an audience for animation with heavier themes and mature content. Terminator 0 is included in this category. Viewers who watched Terminator 0 because they were familiar with the franchise and found themselves wanting more can look to Akira. Despite being a widely acclaimed and influential anime film, more anime fans know Akira than have seen it. Terminator 0 can therefore be a way for more people to watch Akira. Both titles will appeal to non-traditional anime watchers and science fiction fans who would be bored with your standard anime.

Made in Abyss is the evil twin of Somali to Mori no Kamisama: An orphan girl goes traveling through a dangerously beautiful fantasy world, aided only an artificial inhuman and her own sense of wonder and yearning for life. Also the concept of humanity and the brevity of life is a major theme in both animes.

The Terminator franchise has inspired countless science fiction titles. It should be no surprise that its first anime will have its share of similar titles. Vivy is definitely the best example and explore similar themes of AI dominance, the apocalypse, and time travelling. Anyone can enjoy Terminator 0. Its story is self-contained and requires no franchise knowledge. I'm sure you'll check it out.

Chobits and Atri: My Dear Moments share significant thematic and narrative similarities, making them comparable anime despite their unique settings and tones. Exploration of Human-Android Relationships: Both series delve into the emotional complexities of relationships between humans and humanoid robots. In Chobits, Hideki forms a bond with Chi, an advanced android (Persocom) who behaves like a human but struggles with understanding emotions and identity. Similarly, in Atri: My Dear Moments, Natsuki's relationship with Atri, a humanoid robot, grows as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world. Both stories explore what it means to be human and the emotional challenges that arise when forming connections with non-human beings​( MyAnimeList.net , Wikipedia ). Themes of Loneliness and Companionship: Both anime feature protagonists who experience deep loneliness and find companionship in their robotic counterparts. Hideki's initially isolated life changes when he meets Chi, just as Natsuki, dealing with personal loss and living in a submerged world, finds a sense of purpose through Atri. This companionship is central to the emotional core of both series, highlighting themes of connection and personal growth. Character Development and Emotional Growth: In both anime, the characters—both human and android—experience significant development. Atri and Chi are initially naive and lack understanding of human complexities, but their relationships with their human counterparts help them grow emotionally. Meanwhile, Hideki and Natsuki undergo transformations as they learn about love, empathy, and the value of companionship through their interactions with these androids. Unique Settings Enhancing Emotional Narratives: While Chobits is set in a futuristic urban environment with advanced technology, Atri: My Dear Moments presents a post-apocalyptic world submerged in water. Despite the different settings, both shows use their worlds to enhance the narrative's emotional impact, focusing on how technology intersects with everyday human experiences, relationships, and the search for meaning. Overall, Chobits and Atri: My Dear Moments are similar in their portrayal of deep, meaningful bonds between humans and androids, exploring themes of companionship, emotional growth, and the quest for understanding in unique and engaging settings​.

Both shows are cute and feature little cute cats.

A teenage girl who decides not to feel after what happened to her in the past meets a boy who decides to teach her about her own value as a person.

- animated similarly with lots of cuts to text screens - mystery psychological - lots of dialogue - VA Hiroshi Kamiya (Ranpo Edogawa / Koyomi Araragi) and VA Kana Hanazawa (Lucy Montgomery / Nadeko Sengoku)

One guy, many girls, and you go through the stories of each of the girls. The vibe is also similar where not everything is play by play. It has that jumpy kind of storytelling that leaves you wonderous about everything that happens. The difference between the two shows is that Clannad is more fluffy cute and Bakemonogatari is more mystery psychological, but both are still kind of highschool slice of life.

- unique visual art style - well animated - mystery psychological - lots of unique quirky and questionable characters - VA Hiroshi Kamiya (Izaya Orihara / Koyomi Araragi) and VA Kana Hanazawa (Anri Sonohara / Nadeko Sengoku)

i dont know too much about the actual mahou gakuen lunar series, but the movie reminded me a lot of compile's shorts, or at least their shorts of puyo puyo. the main 3 characters in mahou gakuen lunar reminded me of the banshee trio. both are cute and short, and also funny.

if you've watched Cardcaptor Sakura you HAVE TO WATCH this OVA, it's actually the cutest thing ever, and such a sweet addition to Sakura and Syaoran's story.

Quirky and Surreal Visual Style Delves into deeper philosphical topics Vibrant artstyle and animation

Both series (Frieren and Apothecary) have a female main character that is well written and developed. Both series focus more on the setting and world building rather than on action or romance, but both series also does contain elements of each.

Two fantasy slice of life isekai's that are equally light-hearted and have enough action sequences to make it exciting with the plot of the character's journeys. In both, the MC's are reincarnated for different reasons but would regularly converse with the God's of their universes and are blessed by them too. The MC's in both are always meeting new friendly people along the way. Main difference is that Kamihiro features lots slimes who are tamed by the MC whereas in Iseyuru the MC is accompanied by two children, plus the MC in Kamihiro reincarnates as a child but the MC in Iseyuru is still himself.

main characters suck main love interest is a shy girl other love interest is a more upbeat girl

Mob Psycho is actually a pretty unique and worthwhile series. Sort of like a mixture of FLCL, One Punch Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and March Comes in Like a Lion. That may seem like a weird fusion, but it totally works in my opinion. Uses an exciting shonen action frame to discuss significant, resounding themes.

Terminator 0 & Texhnolyze tell a poignant and heavy introspection about humanity as it uses significant amounts of heavy dialouge and deeply explores the the human condition through the lens of machines and other human beings in their respective worlds. In terms of surface level similarities, there are uses of machines/cybernetics as well as people who have insight into the future within a bleak world as the conflict of machines and humans rage on. Within a deeper level of their storytelling, they both perfectly illustrate the nihilism and turmoil of humanity's search for meaning of their lives; as well as a subjective view of gaining clarity of humanity's worth based on objective facts of human history.

I feel they both share a similar premise & overall atmosphere: Humans and monsters partner up together in order to compete at a tournament to achieve a common goal in exchange for greater power that is promised to anyone who emerges victor — which each individual team intends to use either for the greater good or for their own benefit. This makes for a very colorful cast (consisting mostly of kids) in each of these series, featuring unique systems customary within the monster-taming genre that each of their worlds work on, and an array of situations that vary from lighthearted and comedic to unexpectedly serious and at times dark in an "I can't believe they'd show this in a kid's show!?" kinda way; all while remaining consistently earnest in their execution. Really charming, highly creative, and fun experiences! They both also happen to share the fact that they're SUPER underrated and definitely worth giving a try, too!✨

- Both series center around competitive traditional Japanese games (shogi in "Sangatsu no Lion" and karuta in "Chihayafuru"). - Protagonists in both series undergo significant personal growth and self-discovery through their involvement in these games. - Both series explore deep, complex relationships between friends, mentors, and rivals, which significantly impact the characters' lives. - Both series delve into the emotional struggles of their protagonists, addressing themes like loneliness, self-worth, and the pressures of competition.

The main leads, as in Phosphophyllite and Vivy, are both beings that are not afraid to lose parts of themselves in order to achieve their goals. Both Anime tackle the theme of "becoming human" in different ways. They also feature very stylish fight scenes, incredible visuals and animation, and a distinct art style that creates an unforgettable experience.

Both anime have the same plot, from him hating giants and wanting to destroy these giants, instead he becomes the giant.

Both animes give characters that have died another shot at achieving their dreams, they also have a main character where at first they don't remember anything before they died but as the series progresses, a character helps them regain them.

Both anime focus on food and the joys that it brings. Amaama to Inazuma is based primarily in the real world with a father-daughter relationship and learning to build community/friendships with food. Himesama "Goumon" no jikan desu is based in fantasy and about a princess being "tortured" by experiencing the simple joys in life by her enemies and becoming friends with them. Both anime will leave you smiling and with a warm feeling in your heart.

Both anime are parodies of dudes who are high school delinquents or pop idols. They both also have a short episode duration and absurd humor making these two entertaining to watch or check out.

Sonny boy is an entirely new concept, therefore it’s hard to recommend ‘identical’ or even similar pieces of fiction. However, one aspect that stood out for me the most is its depiction of time, each world has a different flow of time and that’s what makes the plot so interesting towards the end. In a way, the same goes for steins gate and for Okabe as he has a separate consciousness and flow of time from the rest of the people around him. Time as a concept is so intriguing and heavy that you can make great developments, as both of these shows have shown.

Both shows take place in a fictional autocratic Japan that feels Japanese. Major characters of both shows are cogs to the machine that maintain their state. The state is much bigger than any individual character. It is interesting to see how both shows tackle this "darker" Japan and what it does to the characters.

bullied underdog mc at a special school for those aiming to become the strongest in the world, both have great fights and you really find yourself rooting for the main characters- MHA is definitely better though

Both series explore into the complexities of time travel and the consequences of altering it. Both have a very engaging approach to how they handle things, and events that just intricately converge together.

Similarities: -Both series are shounen anime with a lot of awesome battles, comedy, and character development. -The protagonists overcomes challenges and aims to become stronger. -Power system, Nen and Quirks, which gain the characters superhuman abilities as well as play a central role within the plot. -They both explore themes of friendship, growth, and self-discovery. -Both series have great art styles and antagonists. Difference: -My Hero Academia is about superheroes while Hunter x Hunter has more adventure. Despite the differences in storylines, the presence of these aspects make it worthy of comparing these two series with each other.

Both follow a gang of thieves with likable characters. Great Pretender is a more modern version with a storyline but Lupin III is a classic and just as fun despite it not having as much as a story.

*Swing Out Sisters* and *Ane Chijo Max Heart* are adult-themed series focusing on incestuous sibling relationships. Both stories involve explicit content and a lighthearted, playful tone, making the taboo subject more accessible. *Swing Out Sisters* features a love triangle between a brother and his two sisters, while *Ane Chijo Max Heart* centers on the bond between a brother and his older sister. Both cater to mature audiences looking for similar themes but with different character dynamics.

If you're into taboo-themed stories, both *Aki Sora* and *Swing Out Sisters* delve into controversial sibling relationships, but with different tones. *Aki Sora* is more serious and emotional, focusing on the psychological aspects of an incestuous bond between a brother and his older sister. On the other hand, *Swing Out Sisters* offers a more lighthearted and comedic take on a similar theme, involving a brother caught between his two sisters. Both series are explicit, so they cater to mature audiences looking for complex, boundary-pushing narratives.

Absurdly abstract, disturbing and violent tales of the suffering of a young protagonist both with an off-kilter art-style and editing

Cute girls in skimpy outfits doing wrestling.

Both are quite different sure, I mean one is about an introverted girl pursuing her passion for guitar, and the other is about a bunch of girls just living a casual high school life, however, in my opinion, they just that same "thing" about them. They have the same feeling that you just can't find in much other anime. They're both relatable as heck and have amazing comedy. (this got removed for not being opinion based and persuasive already once, so moderators, if you are reading this then I beg of you to keep this up, thx pookies;))

It's hard to find anime that really throws itself into a court setting (at least compared to Chinese+Korean media), and the only two off the top of my head are these. The main difference would be the realms they take place in- Koukyuu no Karasu is fully within the human realm, but is innately supernatural through the involvement of the protagonist. The Raven Consort! Mystery, suspense, some gore, and beautiful court costumes. Ravens. Consorts, even.

Both anime have stories of power user clashes and both fight using unique strategies. If undead unluck analyzes the opponent's negated “rules”. Then the law of ueki analyzes the opponent's Limiting Condition.

Both are conclusions of suspense anime with the worst possible ending to ever exist. At least Sotsu was involuntary comedy.

Two of the best football anime. Blue Lock is more action packed with sick moments, while Ao Ashi is more realistic/tactical.

Both anime focuses on social issues regarding minorities. Demi-chan wa Kataritai was set in a hypothetical universe with vampire, dullahan, snow girl, and succubus. Each Demi has their issues and struggles. Hourou Musuko was set in a world similar to reallife Japan focusing on LGBTQ, specifically, transgender and nonbinary communities. Demi-chan wa Kataritai was lighthearted with some serious discussions or hints of such scattered throughout the anime. Most importantly, Demi in Demi-chan wa Kataritai was supported by the protagonist Sensei and the society. Compared to Demi-chan wa Kataritai, Hourou Musuko was much more depressing. Most things in the story didn't go the right track, yet the characters tried very hard to find their own answers to the problem. If you like one and can accept the theme or tone of the other anime, I would recommend watching.
