highly recommended if you like girls with smug face. from the first 3 episodes, this has provided a depiction of the same theme, the same feelings, the main characters have similar personalities even though at different levels

Bocchi is the moe version of Beck.

plots are not similar at all but both are rooted in questioning the purpose of basic human existence and the purpose of living a day-to-day life

In both shows main character gets fired from his previous job by the evil chief, and then starts a new life in the small countryside with the beautiful girl

Both shows feature a conflict between a demon army and humans, and main character switches sides at the start of the story.

In both shows main character gets fired from his previous job by the evil chief who thinks main character is weak and useless. Then main character meets a ginger girl who thinks he's strong and special. That girl gives main character a new meaning in his ife

Both shows feature a demon lord reincarnated many years after his first life, to attend to a magic school with two beautiful classmates girls.

In both shows main character gets transported in the fantasy videogame in the body of living skeleton

Both show follow a revenge plot against villainous princess with some shade of red hair. In both shows main character acquire a half-human slave girl to help him in fights.

The start of first SciAdv.

AMAZING animation and visuals, both have involvement around planets, futurist hints, they're BOTH a rollercoaster of emotions

both have similar themes of gaming and relationships evolving through gaming. both are light-hearted, wholesome comedy romances to watch. Each in their own special way.

Both have OP MC, kingdoms, secret cults, action, magic.

It's one of those rom-com animes that when you finish watching isn't JUST a rom-com anime. In fruits basket, we got emotionally connected to all the characters because of the way all of them had generational family trauma and they all overcame it. Similary, kamisama hajimemashita also has a similar emotional touch to it (not gonna spoil it hehe)

Both have a lot boobs scenes Main Character is Samurai/warrior Both have some action scenes

they both give the same sweet romance vibes very comforting and wholesome~

Main protag is kicked out of their party for being useless, but they end up actually being decently capable, then settle down in a little town, and have a cute "gifted' girl with a huge crush on them. Big difference would be that Chillin' in my 30s' party were the bad guys, and is a bit more focused on the comedy.

If you liked the mystery, detective show-esq vibe that good part of Engage Kiss have you will probably like Cop Craft Both have smoking protagonists with a dark and mysterious backstory with a magical girl who uses a sword. but that's just superficial details, the biggest and important thing is the tone. The criminal underbelly of a city that sells itself as a paradise, the crimes commited both by human and mistical beings, etc. Cop Craft has a very similar vibe to Engage Kiss, only with much less romance.

Both involve a shop ran by a mysterious girl with elegant clothing that grants wishes. It is very episodic in that every tiny arc is tied to a wish granted by the shop. You always find the shop when you need it or have use for it. People often end up regretting going to the shop and exchanging a prized possession in return for a wish. While the shop is there to help people, it usually is more melancholic and ends up not going well for the one that made the wish.

Both are harems dealing with the main guy finding a mysterious girl from his past and many other girls who may or may not be related to this mystery.

Like the atmosphere of a ''kill or be killed'' game in Mirai Nikki? Danganronpa has very similar content to that.

Kaina of the Great Snow Sea and Fena: Pirate Princess are adventure series centered on a quest to pursue a legend. The lead female characters are damsel in distress, but Liliha (Kaina of the Great Snow Sea) has the inner strength and courage to pursue her conviction despite her moment of helplessness. Fena, on the other hand, is easily swept from one conflict into another without controlling her own fate. Both series have their problems, but they do have positive aspects and can satisfy anyone who likes an adventure.

Both series focus on deeply socially anxious protagonists who try their best to deal with social interactions and day-to-day life in comedic scenarios.

After learning about tanks then lets learn about some military figures in history gets transported to a new world

Both have same vibes where ML is powerful. He is popular among all FL's, but he is oblivious of their feelings. They all love him and competing against each other.

We have an overpowered protagonist who is slowly building up his army. The world marvels at the immensity of what he is able to do, and of course, they are both reincarnated, possessing knowledge of this world and taking it to the new world. The series develops in a surprising way, we have followers loyal to the extreme, following every command of the protagonist, which generates many funny situations. In the case of Eminence of Shadow, the protagonist tries to hide his real personality and power at all costs, which makes his outer persona an extremely weak young man. This leads to many funny situations. In short, he is the most powerful character in the story, every time he enters the scene it is just to make the point. It is fun to see such a powerful and sadistic character, because he is not really a hero, but an anti-hero, but he is not a villain.

Similar exploration into dreams and reality

Character designs in Detarame na Sekai no Melodrama are likely inspired by the work of Fumiko Takano, so if you like them, check out this MV. Its director also worked on Heike, which had original character designs by Takano.

Detarame na Sekai no Melodrama makes plenty of homages to the style of Shichiro Kobayashi in its backgrounds and Kunihiko Ikuhara in its direction and themes. Utena is the most obvious parallel, but there're also notable similarities with Penguindrum and Yurikuma

Eve no Jikan is a near-future anime about sentience regarding androids, but not in a huge philosophical sense. It follows two teenage boys who interview different androids they come across in a cafe who have gained 'sentience' or independence in one way or another, learning about their life and why they have chosen to 'defy' what they are made to do. Death Parade is a supernatural anime rather than sci-fi as it takes place in a world after death where people play intense psychological games to bring out their true nature to be judged on the podium of whether it is heaven or hell that they will be blessed with. It might seem like a big difference, but they are both very similar in their themes of introspection, analyzing the behavior of people (and androids) to come to an understanding of why they act the way they do.

I think it's mainly the animation that gets me to pair these two together. Don't get me wrong, they're both romances and very lighthearted and comedic ones at that. Although there are some differences. Tsurezure Children is very short, and focuses on different relationships each episode while Horimiya focuses primarily on one. Also just for reference, Horimiya skips through the manga's timeline, which sounds bad but isn't necessarily. Very good watch for both!

I get these two mixed up a lot. Very similar characters, animation, and both romances based in highschool. Even at the time of writing this, they almost have the same MAL rating by users. Unfortunately though Ao Haru Ride is not completed in anime form, so you'll have to read the manga. Still recommend watching it atleast though!

What can I say? Both are about arms dealings and mercenary groups. They have similar atmosphere not only with the plots, but also animation and art direction.

Both absurd, over the top comedies. Where Nichijou focuses mainly on exaggerating everyday experiences to comedic nonsense and putting its characters in a wide variety of uncomfortable circumstances caused by their own ineptitude, 4-nin focuses on a cast of surreal, otherworldly characters desperately trying to keep their secret lives from being uncovered and the comedy that arises as their masks begin to slip.

There are very creative visual gags and overall good direction, similar to Karekano. If you appreciated this aspect of Karekano and are not turned off by the idea of a 4 girls cringe comedy focused on single character narrative, you will probably really enjoy this show.

Both series have main characters that going trough gender change and struggles of understanding what is the meaning of belonging to a gender. Nitori is officially a trans girl and she had her own struggles in a similar fashion. Horou Musuko is more realistic and a bit darker than Onimai, due that Onimai being a comedy show. If you are into exploring the trans issues I’d recommend both of them.

Chinese shows that feature supernatural beings adapting to the normal everyday life of human society and attempting to blend in amongst them. Hanhua Riji and Wan Sheng Jie both feature similar slap-stick comedy and similarities in character dynamics and tropes.

Both do not basically explain anything in the world and are much more in the daily life of the characters and their relationships and every once in a while there is something more reflective like Haibane ep 5 and Shoujo Shuumatsu ep 9. I think Shoujo Shuuumatsu is better than Haibane.

I Enjoyed HxH alot because of its unique power system and its complexity and i think its similar to one piece in this aspect as both one piece and HxH have Amazing charecters and charecter development, Insane storyline, very cool villians And they in my opinion are the most unique out of all the anime i have watched. Both HxH and One Piece are 10/10 and im yet to change my opinion and dont think i ever will have to

Both are anime of infamously low quality, with hideous animation and nonsensical stories, which actually share many aspects such as having a boy be forced against his will and gets his life filled with danger in violent situations. They're so abysmal, in fact, they have gained a reputation as being premiere "so bad it's good" titles, so if you're ready for some pain that can probably get ironic laughs out of you, these two are for you.

a human girl, who under certain circumstances, is forced to live with spirits both have cute romance and have the same kind of vibe / atmosphere

1) Both are reincarnation animes 2) Both have strong main characters, but Farming's isn't as OP as Tensei's. 3) Both have a nice supporting cast where everyone gets along 4) Both have the Main characters become leaders pf a place where monsters/demi humans can take refuge and rest in. So, politicking and diplomacy are common.

Gore, comedy, banger EDs and wild character designs. Loveably human cast in gritty, hostile worlds. Meaty themes that you can grab with both hands!

The world outside the walls

Severely underrated Kokoro Connect is one of the best romance anime of all time. Kokoro means heart in japanese, thats all you need to know lol With its powerful friendships put to the test due to mysterious supernatural powers, this show is not only romance but much more than that!

Living inside walled cities. Discrimination. Post apocalyptic

A fight of an individum or a small number of people against society and the country, mcs are very intelligent, both animes are also pretty suspenesful.

Both leave a feel amazement after you watch them, I recommend for those who enjoy powerful and op mcs.

Both male mc are rebirth in another fantasy world Slowly building a guild/ family/ town for them selves layback and chill both have very similar plot progression

Both have a male main protagonist sent to another by a god and build a town for themselves and learning how to govern it along the way building a family for themselves with all sorts of beings.

Both animes have MCs that where overworked or mistreats and died. After there pasting they meet with a god and sent into another world to have a new layback life with a unique skill or power. Both have the MC slowly grow their family/guild. Both MC wanting a peaceful new life but end up creating a family with the worlds most powerful beings.

Both anime has MC transported into another world and building there own nation/ town. Trading goods while along the way building new relationships with allies.

Both MC are transported into another world with some cheat power/skill, which comes in handle during the plot of the anime. During the runtime of the anime they encounter other beings (ie slimes, monster, and etc) amd end become allies with them. Both anime really doesn't hide the fact that MC is so out touch in the new fantasy world in a good way. Impressing there new found allies with new dishes.

A group of 14 year-olds fights monstrous humans in order to save their loved ones. + both shows have good quality animation

both are focused around saving the villainess in an otome game. very cute and funny, both are great for an enjoyable casual watch

I sincerely make this recommendation because the truth is that the animes are very similar and both seem to me to be magnificent Harems. Hanayome seems like a good anime to me because it seems very funny to me, it has a splendid story That is like a McDonald's Hamburger the more you eat the more you want, secondly it seems to me that you can easily become attached to the characters making them take more places in our hearts 10/10 give yourself a live Well, Date a Live seems like another magnificent Harem to me, it's very nice to see how each story of each character is broken down, it's like trying to identify with each one, giving the plot more substance, the story in principle is very good because it's something unique and different, watching each episode is a delicacy because the truth seems to me that the story ends up catching you each episode is unique making this one great 10/10

Both of these are short animes featuring cute girls saving the day. Being Gainax productions directed by Shouji Saeki, they are visually and musically similar, having cutesy, upbeat music and very similar school interior designs. Sci-fi elements are also present in both animes.

Stellvia and Witch From Mercury both feature schoolgirls fighting in mecha in space. They also have romance.

Two romantic dramedies about girls from humble origins navigating the world of the rich and famous. 'Nana' is the far more grounded series, 'Boys Over Flowers' is more melodramatic and overthetop.

a couple taking care of a lovely and imperactive little girl while dealing with their jobs involving murder of people, espionage etc, both of them adding comedy to the whole plot makes it highly entertaining, interesting and lovable

Both semi-surreal and with a focus on women's issues - I guess? - (I don't think Belladonna is consistent enough to call it feminist) and sex

From the very beginning of the movie, it's given that the main character(s) of these movies will die at some point of the movie, and then the stories are being told retrospectively about the short remaining time of their lives, and the emphasis that even though they're in hopeless situations, humans still try and will found some specks of happiness in life. The difference between the two is that 1945 Japan is a far bleaker setting than modern day Japan.

Big fast food chains using characters from anime series to promote their products.

McDonalds once again using anime girls for their marketing campaign.

A girl that breaks the barriers between technological fiction and reality, awesome mind-bending animation.

Both have a badass protagonist with guns and a long red coat. Jokes aside, these series are not that different from each other so if you liked one you will probably enjoy the other. With the exception that to fully enjoy DMC you have to be familiar with the games lore as in the anime itself there isn't much story, while Hellsing has its own story.

Same family feels

Two of the most life-changing anime ever. You're never the same person before and watching them... ...In the bad sense.

Horrible anime OVAs with ultracompressed nonsensical corny stories which feel like a waste of time and potential but at least they come with banger openings. Well... Ryokunohara Meikyuu at least is animated and edited properly.

Both of them are an unpopular guy and a popular girl. The guys are both not really convinced of themselves and have a gloomy mood. In addition, it is about teenage love.

Simple tales of Animals who live together. Both have great characters.

Both animes feature a friend group of cute school girls and bring you into a good, wholesome mood. Also they both deal with one girl having lost her mother in the past and now wandering in her path a bit and exploring for themselves what has been their mothers passion.

Its Like Popular Boy Meets Unpopular Girl and All That Stuff I really liked it and its one of my fav

Protagonist re-lives the same day over and over. Rural setting. Mortal danger. Gory deaths. Harrowing soundtrack. Plain people vs. mysterious dread-evoking threat. While the style, palette, cast, personal drama and overall mood of the two anime differ by some degrees, there is a clear intersection in their thriller-like defining qualities.

Either series stars a character who albeit their status/skills/abilities, takes more of a back seat during storytelling. The lead travels to different countries and explores/solves/experiences events pertaining to the location, some local legend, story or rumor. Usually, the episodes are novel-esque self-contained tales with a twist and/or some moral to tell, often opting to subvert expectations. Neither series caters to illusions about human nature. Episodes can end equally happy or sad, grim or thought provoking.

euphie / takina get attached to anis / chisato after they spend time with eachother & protect the mcs from getting their feelings hurt

Moving between the real world and the world of fantasy .. Bringing advanced products to people in the Middle Ages .. Fighting with heavy weapons against creatures such as goblins and dragons .. The difference is that only one person can move between the two worlds (the heroine) and not a portal that connects the two worlds as in (Gate)

Relaxing to watch, with good characters and a "mysterious" world. It also has good comedy. Both also have non-standard character designs, which is great.

The Fire Hunter and Fire Force have very similar story outlines, but executes them very differently. We follow characters where life has been changed by spontaneously human combustion. Fire Force uses this premise to create an action packed shounen series. The Fire Hunter uses this premise to a more somber historical fantasy series. If you felt that Fire Force had so much unrealized potential then The Fire Hunter might be a great opportunity for you. However, The Fire Hunter has some very painful animation shortcuts so you have accept this to enjoy the anime.

People might say buddy daddies is a copy of spy x family but trust me buddy daddies is a great funny anime similar to spy x family but not a copy. Spy x family is about a family not blood related and it is the same with buddy daddies a family not blood related but great. A made up family and a family made because of pity.

Both are pretty and gentle fantasy anime, with the MCs specializing and improving their talents throughout the course of the show. Just similar vibes overall, although Sugar Apple Fairy Tale has more dramatic moments.

Each is filled with witty quips between characters, breaking the fourth wall, and female characters who have an unhealthy love for the main character. Characters are constantly sexualized through dialogue and/or visually. Character tropes are heavily played into for comedic effect. The Monogatari series certainly requires more thought and attention, but both do a great job at presenting interesting problems for interpersonal relationships.

Both are rom-coms where the female main characters are really good at academics and looked at by everyone as the perfect role model students but have different sides in private. Both have the main characters meeting and beginning to get close early in the series, proceeding to spend a lot of time together. Both have main characters who have mental trauma (explored more deeply in Kare Kano, especially the manga.)

From a certain perspective, "Suzume" is a sort of like a spiritual successor to "Children Who Chase Lost Voices." A girl goes off in an adventure with an older, male protagonist with long, dark hair who's involved with an academic profession. The two films feature supernatural elements, and a journey that would eventually lead our main characters into the land of the dead. A main character is haunted by memories of a lost loved one who died before the events of the story. However, the two films aren't directly connected in the same way that "Your Name." and "Weathering With You" take place in the so called "Shinkai-verse."

Similar feeling of a not-overpowered MC barely scraping by in harder and harder fights against powerful ninja/samurai/.

Yes, you have seen this premise before in countless variations: Attack on Titan, God Eater, Owari No Seraph, Takt Op. Destiny, and of course Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and The Fire Hunter. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress received more criticism than expected because Wit Studio used many staff members from Attack on Titan rather than make the next season of Attack on Titan. Unlike Owari No Seraph (another Wit Studio product), this series is an anime original. Kabaneri has its problems, but it is a hell of a ride. The Fire Hunter has some remarkable known staff member for a much smaller studio, but unfortunately their budget heavily impacted production quality as this series uses some very painful animation shortcuts. The script and storyline are the strengths of this series. Some viewers might rage against these post-apocalyptic series that relies on different settings, different monsters, and different characters to tell similar stories without trying to innovate and subvert expectations (except for Attack on Titan). If the anime community can handle the glut of fantasy isekai series and the immortality of CGDCT series then there will be viewers who will enjoy them.

The duels in Yugioh are played up as dramatically as the cases in Ace Attorney. Over the top personalities, the screaming when the opponent beats your best move, and the fact they're depictions are completely inaccurate to what the represent (The TCG for Yugioh and Actual Law/Trials for Ace Attorney)

Like "Macross Plus Movie Edition," "Patlabor 2: The Movie" delves into political intrigue and the relationship between humans and machines.

Both "Macross Plus Movie Edition" and "Ghost in the Shell" explore the impact of technology on society and the individual, with a deep focus on philosophical questions.

two people adopt's a little girl

Both involve strategists who use brains to win a war while reducing bloodshed

- Both are anthology series from well-known franchises and have excellent animation. - They have the same number of episodes. Additionally, the episodes vary in length. - The Animatrix has episodes that greatly expand the lore and history of the universe, but Star Wars: Visions tends to lean more on individual stories, though The Animatrix tells plenty of individual stories as well.

Both are CGI animated stories set in alternate realities. There is a big focus on science fiction elements in both series. Both stories have a romance element and a fairly significant amount of content that could be considered slice of life before the drama and action fully sets in.

- Both have similar art styles and are set in the WW2 Era in Japan, albeit on opposite sides of the country. - Emotional. - Focusing on young people.

Both shows are set in a small town and you get all the close-knit small community vibes from both of these shows. There is a darkness looming over the community and our heroes must stop it. Both are technically set during summer, but Shiki moves into fall as the show comes to a close. Supernatural creatures.
