Anime Recommendations

It's very enjoyable to watch Rurouni Kenshin if you have already watched Hunter X Hunter. There is a lot of similarities between these two top tier pieces of battle shounen genre, like the construction of the impact in the major scenes, the way with which the anime induces you to empathize with the characters, and the constant explanations of special powers.

Both Protagonist, Light Yagami and Youzou Ooba (until a few episodes) are very similar character design and personality because their designer is Takeshi Obata (Death Note's Art). Light is more confident and ruthless, Youzou is more gloomy and objective.
They had fateful encounter with each a person (DN's case is special), and themselves changed from that moment.
Both atmosphere have very dark (ABS's 5 to 6 episodes are humorous), and characters are intelligent. I like ABS's Run, Melos!-hen. Probably you will empathize with Takada.
Also, DN is continuous story, ABS consisted of plural literary novel as above.
Both are learned about humanity, and felt every emotion after watching the episode.

Both are handle crime eradication and society of morality.
Protagonist of DN, Light Yagami, He uses DEATH NOTE, and kill evils for his justice.
Protagonist of PP, Shinya Kougami, He belongs to Public Safety Bureau, and control many crimes along with other comrades.
Both are not simple story. There are various Drama, Tragedy, Confrontation, and Meaningful Depictions.
Especially Light and L, Kougami and Makishima, their's relationship is the most important point in Original Story.
DN's setting is modern. PP's setting is near future. Cityscape is similar and beautiful.
Both have excellent animation, bloody and thrilling.
DN focus a battle of the mind, PP focus action scenes. To be drawn into them.
Finally, You will receive an impact in a certain episode.

Both are promotions for a mobile game. Hagane Orchestra promotes a game with the same name, while WagaHai doesn't even promote the game it adapts (it promotes the game KakoTama)

So if you are looking for a proper adaption, you won't find it here.

Death Parade deals with games, debts and risks. Like Kakegurui, it deals with the not-so-pleasing aspects of human nature through a series of games. lol its bomb ok

Similarities:
Both of the MCs have hidden, tragic pasts that turn them into cold, calculated, and close to emotionless badasses.
Thus, both the MCs are very strong.
Similar harem type concept in both hows with the girls in the harems also being special in more psychological terms.
Very similar art style and production, had to even check if they were made by the same studio.
Very similar twisted side of human nature shown in both shows, the distinct and powerful Grisaia type art is used in both.
Differences:
Youkoso is less fucked up and psychologically demented and ugly overall, at least by ep 7, Grisaia definitely takes that aspect farther.
Also no incest in Youkoso so far, unless imouto ends up getting raped by seitokaicho or some tragic past of hers is revealed.

Very similar twisted side of human nature shown in both, expressed in the same powerful, distinct art style that Grisaia used.

- The main characters both get sent off to different universes, but retain something from their homeland that gives them an upper hand over the natives.

- Many young girls in both cases

- Both contain fanservice, but not the typical ecchi lewd type

If you liked this you'll love DBZ, if you hated it you will still love DBZ.

Part of the Nasuverse, packed with dark moments, drama, action and magic. Follows Ryougi Shiki who's just as badass as a Heroic Spirit with her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

If you watched this you probably like Gundam, mecha or/and war series. Iron Blooded Orphans has all three elements though I must warn you it comes from the darker side of the Gundam universe.

Nichijou undeniably pulls a lot from Azumanga Daioh, but it changes around some things for the better. If you liked Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou is definitely worth a watch, and the humor is similar.

Both Shirobako and Re Creators focus on the creation process and bring light to the highs and lows involved

Both have the same kind of humor and the over the top destruction of towns.

Lets begin with the similarities,

They both find themselves in another world, at the start
They are both I belive overpowered main characters,
The main character is and kind person that gets surrounded by friends
The main character makes all the girls fall for them
Both main characters are great at almost everything, one is at labor, other is at magic
They find out soon enough how they were sent

This series has a similar ending as Angel Beats. I should say Angel Beats was the saddest and one of the most touching anime when I watched it but Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso overtook it once I watched the last episode of it! It is really awesome and has very few or maybe no plotholes. If you are looking for an emotional anime with a good story and a strong musical connectivity, wait no more just watch Your Lie in April. And I can say for sure the suspense of "what is the lie" of the series is >= the suspense of the suspense of Angel and Yuzuru.

Both are really over the top comedies, divided in different stories within the same episode

Both have MC with very unnusual personality trait and the story revolves around that

group of girls working together to achieve a goal.
While there are many differences, if you liked one, you are most likely to like the other because of really similar vibes. Lighthearted,enjoyable slice of lifes.

This is a comedy series that is primarily based off of two video game series from the company Type-Moon. Those being Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. Before watching, you should first be familiar with the source material.

Like you were supposed to have played through Chrono Trigger before watching this OVA, you should finish some Type-Moon games before watching this.

So that means to play Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya, Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, and the Melty Blood series. It may be a daunting task, but you will gain an even bigger payoff from this than you will from just the one short OVA for Chrono Trigger.

Or if you're lazy/don't have time for ridiculously long visual novels like me, you could just watch the Fate/Stay Night anime (even though it is often not preferred), and play the first two routes of Tsukihime, and maybe play some Melty Blood Actress Again. With this minimal effort, you'll still understand a majority of the jokes and still have a great time!

If you like the realism which characterize NHK ni Youkoso, you will probably enjoy Koe no Katachi. Both also tackle social problems such as suicide, bullying and isolation. Koe no Katachi is the first anime that satisfied me since I've watched NHK ni Youkoso.

A classic moe anime anime.

If you finish Diamond is unbreakable ,you want something like Jojo and you don't want to read part 5 manga, Boku no hero is the answer.
The quirks feel like stands, and the humor tends to be similar. And the Jojo sense of justice is present too.

Both about people trying to ruin another persons life, failing, and learning an important life lesson

Both of them are written by Ai Yazawa. And they also got the same ending. Literally which is very deep and bitter sweet.

Both anime demonstrate the life a teenager that has died and revived in a different world, having a wish (or the right to take something with them) granted.
In these TV shows the world is not modern; it has a medieval concept.
The protagonists are surrounded by beautiful girls.
There is magic in these anime.
They remember an RPG game: through time, the main characters learn more abilities and get items (they get stronger).
The protagonists keep a souvenir from their homeland.

I recommend both of these anime. I liked Konosuba because it made me laugh when I expected the least, and I'm enjoying to watch (it's currently airing) Isekai wa Smarphone to Tomo ni, because of the interesting abilities used by Touya (MC) and the girls' competition for him. Still, sometimes I consider Konosuba a little repetitive and boring.

KonoSuba and No Game No Life. Both ...
- They have neet boy who is transported in a fantasy world, where the challenge will be to defeat the god tet / dark king, through different missions / games, where he will meet different girls, who will help him to acquire what he wants.

Both are good series of comedy to pass the time, where despite the pervert of the protagonist, will succeed in his ingenuity to overcome every adversity...

We love ecchi, don't we? But it's uncomfortable to watch an anime for solo desire to see naked girls. This is why anime such as Bakemonogatari and No Game No Live exists. Satisfy your needs for girls while feeling smart.
Decent amount of nudity can be found in both shows, buts they're much more than that. Problems the MCs encounter and the way they solve them requires pausing a video in order to catch up to whats happening. The nature of obstacles placed before protagonists and their ways of overcoming them can have an impact on how you view life.
To sum it up: even if you like neither ecchi nor harems, the intellectual element of these shows are good enough to watch them despite that.

Neither anime has an story, its a simple plot. They are both overwhelming cool/strong and this is displayed in all its glory to make us laugh.

Both have an adorable female main character. <3
Great plot.
Both MCs are surrounded by lovable supporting characters.
Witchcraft. <3

It seems that M3 was heavily inspired in NGE, both focuses on caracter's psyche, pilots aren't adults and mechas have a secret similar to what happens in NGE.

Both anime have great animation and catchy story. I find most similarities where characters are competing with each other to get their wanted partner. Some guys are annoying goofs, while others are quite kind and care for the girl.

Spice and Wolf and Seirei no Moribito are both beautiful journeys in ancient lands (respectively Europe and Japan).
Both are about the relationship between humans and greater powers like spirits, gods, Nature... and how humans slowly forget about them (possibly at their own detriment).
Both are about the chance encounter between two characters from opposite worlds and how they come to respect and love each other.

MAIN DIFFERENCE :
Seirei no Moribito's main character is a mercenary who protects a prince. This series is thus one big adventure with one plot and many amazing fight scenes.
Spice and Wolf's main character is not a fighter, he is a merchant. This is more of a calm day to day journey with separate arcs every time the protagonists reach a new town.

- Each MC core aspiration is a parent figure that they have never seen before but heard a lot of great things about and use that to improve themselves and conquer all obstacles to one day meet that parent figure

- The main characters parent is considered a legend

- Both setting are based in a fantasy world where society is run by one thing (like hunters and cave raiders)

- Each have dark physiological elements and vibes occasionally throughout both anime

- Both M.C are always going aganist what people tell them and doing things that they want to do out of shear curiosity with a overly optimistic outlook on the situations which sometimes makes them seem naive but are not afraid to face the harsh reality of there worlds

- Both have a mystery element in each, for example; the vast unknown of the depth below there village and other hunters motive/true nature keeps you guessing

-Also each have a "villian" that is very creepy in there own certain ways like orzen and hisoka

- Both have a taboo scene(s) like hisoka can be seen as a child predator because of his obession with gon and in made in abyss the children are strung up naked when beaten

Shoujo series focused on a teenage girl with a career in an artistic sport. Both series have light fantasy/supernatural elements but are mostly grounded in the real world.

I find both of them have similar vibes and are at least somewhat thought provoking.

Both animation styles are different from the usual ones you find in anime and are unique (Though not similar to each other).

Both are series containing multiple stories (Mononoke contains 5, Aoi Bungaku Series contains 6).

Lastly, both of them are (somewhat) hidden gems.

Both have a school setting with romantic comedy. Both share misunderstandings in relationships.

Royal women are gang raped, humiliated and transformed into sex toys by a perverse group of foreign invanders.

Both feature a cast of otherworldly, colorful girls who are at the same time comically incompetent.

While Mitsudomoe is less ecchi centred, both still have a troublesome pack of three lolis who bully their teacher and cause trouble. If tri-loli mayhem was a genre, these two would fit.

Both anime will make the single people go, "one day...one day."

Honobono Log is more chill while Tsurezure Children is centred towards comedy. Both are ultimately heartwarming.

Both series' main characters meet kind of accidentally, but ends up falling in love with each other. The ending is somewhat similar as well. If you like Tsuki ga Kirei, you will also like And Natsu de Matteru.

Harem and overpower main character

As a HUGE fan of this anime,i would highly recommend others to check out gamers.
Why?
1.They are both similar genres
2.They are both about a group of friends(and a club,kinda)
3.It has similar characters
4.The animation is great,just like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next

I guess that's it,there is nothing more to be said,than to check out Gamers

A special burden to attains your future awaits had taken forever as you manage to fulfill even bigger amount of refreshing but also soothening scenario that will test your routine

Gags are pretty less similar and can be a lot more mesmerizing in such every tone

Similarities:
-Strong MC (knows how to fight)
-reverse harem i think??

In Kenka Banchou Otome the girl pretends to be a boy and goes to the delinquent school for his twin brother sake and beats everyone and become the boss. While in Code breaker the girl doesn't pretend to be a boy but also strong. She beats other guys even thought she is a girl..

If you like strong female lead, like in KBOGBB, you will also like code breaker.

Basically the only anime close enogh to give you what Re:CREATORS is doing.Both are great underrated gems (especially Re:CREATORS) which focus on the creation and impact of stories. Recommend both mostly to artists and writers (creators basically lol). You can think of Shirobako as a spiritual prequel to Re:CREATORS as Re:CREATORS explores in a fresh new way (with the bonus of really cool action scenes...which I know aren't the focus..but an epic addition nonetheless..not to mention it's META AF damn!)
Attention to detail is key as well. If you catch onto info quickly, you'll have a blast

It's in the same timeperk and fantasy, magic and dragons too. The story isn't that simular but if you like Chain Chronicle really give it a try!

Similar art and character design, same music composer. The main character starts out as a weak little thing, but he has a natural talent and once he knows that he wants to do something ( dance/play volleyball) he has a great passion and keeps practicing to become the very best. Apart from that - great story, very engaging, action, a little bit of drama, school life etc.

They have similar humor with different settings. I think these two were the animes I laughed the most. Working has other seasons so I found it slighly slower but when you watch all seasons the amount of laughes you get might be even more.
At least I think so.
But even my mother liked both.

Both have cute stories. Some characters are like. And in this anime, there are a variety of couples. But not that many.

I just remember this anime when watching Hatenkou Yuugi

Both are quick-paced gag-driven comedies

Both have rather eccentric characters

Both are 2-cour

Both are based off of retro manga (though in Osomatsu's case, it's a sort of sequel, whilst in Mahoujin's case it's a reboot)

Osomatsu-san is far cruder, but the humor is fairly similar in both series.

Both shows are usually mindless fun.

Guru Guru tends to stay more on the cuter, light-hearted side while Osomatsu-san has more adult jokes, howeever.

Both shows detail the life and transition of a mercenary to a high school student. While Full Metal Panic! has more of a comedic undertone, both shows have a decent amount of action, violence and blood. Grisaia takes more of a harem/romance path, both shows are quite similar in regards to the MC.
If you liked Full Metal Panic! Grisaia will not disappoint you; it takes much more of the mature and darker route that Full Metal Panic! did not quite touch on.

Two shows about a more contemporary, realistic, unglamorous side of space travel. Their protagonists generally do mundane jobs in Earth's orbit and work for departments with few resources and even less respect, although they all wind up getting involved with larger adventures by the end of their stories. Both shows have similar aesthetics and senses of realism but also veer into wacky comedy from time to time. Rocket Girls clearly has more of a moe influence, but other than the character designs of its leads and their ages (and generally age-appropriate personalities and behavior), one could easily see the two series taking place in the same universe at different points in time.

Both series feature people finding happiness and wholesome comfort in the company of others, despite suffering in the past due to unfortunate circumstances. They can be lighthearted, silly, and nostalgic at times, but also deal with more depressing topics.

Both incorporate rap/hip-hop elements and some modern day American aspects. Both feature samurai and similar level of maturity and brutality.

Both adventure animes surrounding a male protagonist and female party members. The fantasy is very similar. Both shows have very cute and lovable characters. Both sweet, funny, feel good shows!

both are space anime with absurd aliens.
Also both of them are gag anime

They're both short school romances with a small tsundere twist! The characters are interesting and engaging and the plot strays from what I would consider cliche.

The style of inquiry and mystery is very much like supernatural in addition to being two people looking at imaginary issues

- Both take place in victorian era London; however, Princess Principal takes place in a steampunk version divided into two sections (the Kingdom and the Commonwealth)
- Both have supernatural elements; Kuroshitsuji involves demons and such while Princess Principal has "cavorite," a mysterious element that allows characters to fly and defy gravity
- Both mix lighthearted scenes and moments with a darker atmosphere
- Both feature the characters partaking in underground operations for their employers; in Kuroshitsuji, the protagonist does dirty work for the queen of England, while in Princess Principal the main characters are spies for the opposing Commonwealth

- The two main male characters have a similar relation, which is often funny.
- The main character is in a love triangle.
- Both Animes are just hilarious.
- Both animes are related to games somehow.

I would say "Gamers!" is a fusion between Baka to Test and Toradora! but obviously, its own essence that differentiates from both animes. It's a very very good anime and I mean it! Especially its last episode (Episode 6) made me laugh I lot, and I'm not an easy laugh guy. I am liking it so much, give it a try!
Thanks for reading!

Both series deal with youkai and the supernatural.

Both have a male teacher who is decieved and is called a weird name by girls. Both also have the moment in each episode after school, a girl character gets raped by the teacher and joins his crew (with girls) to look for more girls that hates the teacher.

Similar premise, but whilst fate is more focused on duels, Drifters is more about warfare

Both series have an engaging storyline and well-paced character development arcs--the perfect balance of plot, humor, and emotion. The adorable chibi forms are also a plus!

longing for the distant love. both. but not same, i recommend the 2 of these if u didn't watch any (:

Both have cute similarities although none of them are alike but it's funny ok?

Both have unique styles, both have intriguing Main and Supporting characters, both have brilliant female tsundere leads as well as very original male leads, both are very funny and yet very emotionally touching.

I seriously sometimes think that they are in the same universe. And like to believe it.

Despite how different they may look on the surface, Aria and K-On (as complete stories with all seasons) have essentially the exact same themes, and the exact same strengths.

- Both are ultimately coming-of-age stories about a group of close friends who realize that they will not be able to stay inseparable as they move towards the next stages of their lives (graduation and college in K-On and becoming Prima's in Aria). Both leave with the message that "though things may never be the same, you will always treasure the old days, and the here-and-now is fun as well." They both speak of cherishing every moment of life while it lasts, both happy and sad.

- Both have slow pacing and take their time introducing us to, and getting us familiar with and attached to the world and characters, but will eventually culminate in an impactful, rewarding payoff later on. Both show's characters are multi-faceted and incredibly lovable, and are characterized via strong visual storytelling rather than exposition. Both have characters whose past experience parallels what the main characters are going through and who use that experience to mentor and guide the main characters while reminiscing about how much that time meant to them (Sawako-sensei in K-On and Alicia, Akira, and Athena in Aria).

- Both employ subtle character development and detailed world-building to make their settings and characters feel alive, impactful, and special. Both rely on familiar places and events to instill a sense of nostalgia and show how characters are now compared to in the past, and they use it to employ an emotional undercurrent in many places. Both put the passage of time and the changing of seasons at a forefront (they employ Mono no Aware to be deeply resonant).

- Both series have writing by Yoshida Reiko, who employs dialogue that sounds natural and which is still entertaining, funny, and/or impactful. Both have moments of pure bliss, and both have made me cry on more than one occasion as the characters grow, realize what growing-up means, and move on.

- Both have practically no fanservice at all, and treat their characters with respect even the opportunity to be sexual arises.

- Both have some of the best insert songs ever, many of which are used during the best and most moving scenes of each series.

- Both are essentially tied for my favorite anime of all time, and both are masterpieces in my eyes which I'd recommend to everyone who can appreciate Slice of Life and doesn't mind slow pacing if it leads to a powerful long-term payoff.

- The differences are that Aria has an inherently more interesting setting with uniquely specific details and which gets more focus, is more soothing and relaxing as opposed to funny (though it is funny when it wants to be), has fantasy and sci-fi elements. K-On's school feels more detailed thanks to a consistent layout with connected locations which change appropriately as time passes, despite the fact that the school isn't focused on as much as Neo-Venezia in Aria. K-On is more funny, bombastic, and light-hearted as opposed to relaxing and contemplative (though it is those things when it wants to be), and is more grounded and realistic.

This recommendation is mostly because of the directing and art of each show - Madoka is, at times, a toned down version of Monogatari in that sense, and the trippy art direction is something I consider to be a huge plus. Not to mention many of the voice actors that were in Bakemonogatari also appear in Madoka Magica and do a great job (e.g. Homura and Senjougahara are voiced by the same person). Granted, there are large differences in the plot and themes of each show, but I think that there are enough similarites there so if you liked one, there's a better than average chance you'll like the other.

They share a wonderful history, where visual criticism is left in the background, Since it becomes irrelevant at the time of listen / read the dialogues and focus merely on what they want to tell us. // Comparten una historia maravillosa, donde la crítica visual se deja en segundo plano, volviéndose irrelevante en comparación con los diálogos de ambos animes.

Bokurano and DS2. Both series have these similarities:
- The protagonists are chosen to acquire a certain skill, which will serve to destroy some enemies for the humanity, which, it is known how much they will appear.
- The protagonists have the risk of dying, every time they use their abilities
- The anime shows that fighting is the only option, since that will depend on the destruction of this world, by higher beings, who decide the fate of the Earth.

The series convey the feelings of the protagonists, in their decision to fight or not, trying to escape their responsibilities and at the same time creating an excuse to do so. It shows the psychological struggle of them against the people who look at them with rancor, since their powers brought death to humanity.

These convey an inner peace (equivalent to nirvana) and a sense of break from the busy monotony of contemporary society through the folklore japanese // Estos transmiten una paz interior (equivalente al nirvana) y una sensación de descanso de la bulliciosa monotonía de la sociedad occidental contemporánea a través del folclore japonés.

The Main Heroine is like Yoshiko and the MC is always annoyed at her. Similar jokes and reasoning like in Aho Girl, Minus the supernatural.

Both give me the same; Ayanokoji seems like a copy of Yuuji, both seldom express their emotion, seemingly deadpanning almost all the time, both stories are based in an academy for "defective" people (class in Youkoso's case), the protags are deeply shrouded in mystery and they both seem to have had a rough childhood..

If you like Nanoha there is a very good chance you would like Symphogear, as well. Both of these shows take inspiration from the Mecha and Magical Girl genres with heavy focus on action and characters. Both also have Nana Mizuki star in a main role ( Fate in Nanoha and Tsubasa in Symphogear) and sing the opening themes. Of course, as tradition for this type of anime, they are both very gay.

- Two siblings trying to survive in a bad situation
- Both siblings are wanting to go home and see their family

Both anime feature:
-Bleak, melancholic art styles which reflect the overall mood of the anime well
-Extremely unique, enigmatic presentation
-Heavy use of symbolism
-Cryptic dialogue which often aims to make the viewer think rather than answer their questions
-Excellent exploration of many interesting themes

When I first watched Mushishi, among my first thoughts was: "This is a lot like Hell Girl". The similarities are listed below.
- Each episode is segmented, providing a short story
- There is a sense of darkness to the story (Although Hell Girl is darker)
- Both have supernatural elements, even though Mushishi tries to hide it under the pretence of pseudoscience

Other than that, there are some differences that might affect your experience
- The time setting differs greatly. Hell Girl is set in the present day, while Mushishi in some point in the past
- Half way through, Hell Girl shifts slightly towards a connected narrative between episodes. This is in part, the reason why I have slowed down my viewing of Mushishi, because there's little coherent connecting narrative
- Hell Girl is a lot darker, and a lot more tragic

This is the one show that went through my head while watching BNHA.

- Similar protagonists who start out shy with low self-confidence and slowly overcome it as the show goes on. Both use their intellect to win fights and overcome obstacles.

- Both protagonists have a role model which drives them to push themselves to their limits. They both idolize their role model, but with Simon it's a younger/older sibling relationship whereas with Izuku it's a fanboy/superhero relationship.

- Cast of fun, goofy characters which aid the protagonist or cause him conflict on his journey.

- Great writing which manages to draw out emotions from the audience regardless of the depth of the concepts and events which the story puts forward.

How can the smallest of details affect the experience you serve someone in a cocktail or a bowl of tea? Ryuu and Sasuke both aspire to provide the most enjoyable drink for their guests. From minor adjustments to the temperature of the drink to the orientation of a tea jar's lid, the factors that make for the optimal glass or bowl are explored in great detail, organically complementing the stories. While Hyouge Mono has a little action and politics (which are, granted, also explored from a perspective of aesthetics), both series take their time to construct beautiful interactions between a true aesthete and their guest.

Both have a very comical feel to them, and both are centered around romance. Tsurezure Children also focuses on various types of relationships.

The majesty of space as seen from the perspective of present-day teenage girls. Both shows are optimistic, emphasize cooperation over competition, and feature high-stakes tension without villains.

There is an episode in Yami Shibai 5th season where Hide and Seek or " Kakurenbo " gone horribly wrong.

Both feature all female lead characters who get involved with top secret operations. One fights witches, while the other engages in espionage. Although staring very cute high school age girls, they both deal with very dark subject matter and heavy moral obligations; the difference being Princess Principal was more upfront about it. The biggest similarity would have to be in the character personalities and motivations. Much like every character in Princess Principal is different and has different reasons for joining, each character in Madoka are very different with different motivations. Watching them all try to work together despite these differences is what makes both shows great.

Both take place in a modern society with characters involving in a virtual gaming system which is the focal point of the show. Both the MCs are well known and are powerful users that dominate the screen. The female lead are similar but somewhat. The characters in Yugioh VRAINS are cold and detached as opposed to SAO being all about friendship.

Both Kill la Kill and Uchuu Patrol Luluco are creations of director Hiroyuki Imaishi, and share extremely similar qualities, from the transforming outfits, to the fast-paced and unique animation style that screams Trigger, the studio behind the two.
Both are best enjoyed when the brain is turned off, so the absurd, yet fun plot is not overthought, but they both still have deep, immersive messages that can get the viewer thinking if they are paying attention to metaphor and symbolism.
If you enjoyed the style, animation, and themes of either show, you will find the other enjoyable, as well.

Very similar main character. Emotionally detached, manipulative and helps his classmates.

Both continue where their respective previous season left off in a serious and more involved plot this time:
-The story focuses on a group of young people fighting for freedom against a superpower faction vying for absolute control.
-Mysteries surrounding the mecha are revealed
-Deaths occur out of nowhere and spread like crazy
-The series end in a similar fashion that wraps up the story
-There is no happiness but tragedy
The only difference is that Valvrave is the reconstruction of the tropes deconstructed in Code Geass and Gundam IBO continues the trend of 00's deconstruction of the Gundam tropes.

while classroom of the elite takes itself way to serious they are really similar because they both create a setting where the school is more like a country rather then a school though chocolate focuses more on romance and is more light hearted but if you like the setting of elite you will most likely like chocolate vice versa
