With extraordinary theme songs/OSTs and animation to accompany these series, one can only hope they get the recognition they deserve. As for the main characters in either series, a male that received the abilities of the devil while showing signs of righteousness and naivety…a female with lethal skills and deadly passion who fights to protect the people she loves. Blatant similarities like these simply can’t be ignored when in front of one’s eyes.

Like seriously...if you're going to tell me Kabaneri is not an AoT ripoff...go home.
Both protagonists have major temper issues and one-track "kill 'em all" mentalities because of some tragic loss of a family member.
Both protagonists are half-human, half-whatever monster they're trying to fight against, and ostracized by rest of society for it.
Both have a cool, badass girl who rarely makes any sense as a character and is really just there to promote feminism.
That said, the Attack on Titan universe is more well-constructed than Kabaneri and makes a lot more sense. AoT is also more plot-driven while Kabaneri appears to be trying to be more character-driven.

If you like Shingeki no Kyojin and want to watch a show that's most similar to it, look no further. Koutetsujou no Kabaneri is the most suitable recommendation you will need. Rather than a story with titans, you'll find a story with Kabane which are undead creatures that cannot be defeated unless it's glowing heart is pierced, or an important body part that is completely severed.
Rather than fighting giant human looking creatures in Shingeki, Kanbaneri is more along the lines of fighting the undead that tries to humanity. The giants just, somehow, appears whereas Kanabes are people who comes back after being bitten. The protagonists infest the power of these supernatural beings and use it to fight for humanity even though in the beginning they're very naive and useless. The amount of gore is just enough in both anime.
kabaneri is so clearly clearly derived from early attack on titan in its heyday.
angry protagonist becomes the thing he seeks to destroy? pseudo historical steampunk setting plus zombies? studio wit? hiroyuki sawano ost?
c'mon, dude, it's clear as mud; watch it.

Both are in a post apocalyptic setting which can give you that sense of isolation that's present in both. (if you like that feeling, you should like the other)
Both main characters are unusual with respect to the average person in their homeland, and they are somehow related to and enhanced by this post apocalyptic setting. If you like somewhat different main characters with grandiose goals, then you should like the other anime.
Both main characters strongly want to eliminate all or fight against the main post apocalyptic enemy. Since this is a main point in both anime, it's definitely something that you may like about both

HUMANITY VS. OTHERS: [Titans/Kabane] Humanity is in the verge of extinction and has to stand up together to fight against the 'others'. The main leads are charismatic humans with a passion to defeat the others (with both being half of the 'other' creature). Has steampunk vibes and badass fight scenes/action.

The situation that they are in. Humanity is on the line because of these 'monstres', it AOT, they have 'Titan', while in KNK, they have 'Kabane'. Very similiar vibe. Very similiar characters. Lots of deaths. Lots of fight scene too. Even they are produced by the same production house. So, I guess if you like one, you will like the other.
Made by the same Studio and Staff. Both feature a Mankind that faces an overwhelming monstruous enemy that is quickly anihilating what remains of them.
Both of them feature fortifications, walls and steam-based weapons.
Also, both feature a Main Character whose resolve is to defeat Mankind's enemy
(Titans/Kabane)
Naturally, both feel very similar, altought Attack on Titan is set in Europe while Iron Fortress is set on Japan.
Also, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is very steampunk
Dark theme, apocalypse-like set, monsteruous creatures which want to drive humanity into extinction and a protagonist with special power who wants to change this fact.
I think that the general idea behind Koutetsujou no Kabaneri was really very similar to Shingeki no Kyojin, the latter surely had way more potential than the first, but I believe who had watched Snk would like KnK too, especially when we consider the art-style and the OST.
Both are very serious and about saving mankind, not much humour but a lot of cheesy characters with a lot of determination.

When we see Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, we always likely to compare it to one of the most successful anime of all time, Attack on Titan. Not because they were animated by the same studio but because of the action-pack ambiance which is employed on each anime series. Both anime shows the bloody war between humanity and the creatures which dominates their world.

Both story tell about human that fight and dying to survive againts 'creature'.
SnK with Eren and Mikasa
Koutetsujo with Ikoma and Mumei
have same director so no doubt about the similarities
The same studio and staff and an incredibly similar plot with great potential.
- MCs feel developed, realistic, and hardened by their hardships
- Both OSTs are composed by the same person and are equally glorious
- Similar plot; easy to get a grasp of; sets off at a blistering speed from the very first minute
- A bit of violence and thrill, but contained
-SnK has a pre-industrial European feel, whereas KnK is set in steanmpunk industrial feudal Japan
As Season 2 of SnK has been postponed to 2017, Kabaneri is anime the best company of any Titan fan.
Walled cities, almost invincible human-eating monsters and determined main characters. Same animation style.
They are both similar in that they both:
- Have MCs that has a hatred of the titans/kabane
- The titans/kabane are very similar in that they both eat humans
- The setting in both are very similar in that they both are surrounded by walls
- Made by the same studio and staff
- Both has a similar plot
- The MCs both have a power that's connected with the creature they are fighting
Just to sum it up, if your a fan of SnK you should watch it.
Same kind of story.
Same kind of characters.
Same kind of music theme.
SnK still better, but it doesn't mean KnK is not worth watching.
Go for both.

● Both have been produced by the same studio(Wit Studio) and therefore they have a similar aspects. However they are not completely the same.
● The main protagonists both show similar signs of ambition and determination toward eradicating their enemies in their fight for humanity (They also have awesome female sidekicks).
● The settings are similar, both having a post-apocalyptic environment though Koutetsujou no Kabaneri has more of a Steam Punk vibe.
I would highly recommend you watch Koutetsujou no Kabaneri if you enjoyed Shingeki no Kyojin.
KnK and AoT are similar in a lot of aspects. To be more precise, KnK is a less refined version of AoT. In other words, a rip-off.
+ Titans and Kabaneris are similar things in the sense that both species are driving humanity behind the walls, figuratively and literally as well
+ The protagonists have very similar motives. Their aims are to exterminate Titans/Kabaneris because their families were killed by these creatures

In both anime humanity has been driven to extinction by an armageddon that happened in the past, in Shingeki no Kyojin by titans while in Koutetsujou no Kabaneri by the kabane.
It is made by the same studio (Wit).
Both anime start inside a fortified settlement showing the seemingly peaceful lives the people live, only to have it crumble in the face of the cruel reality.
They both have some kind of monster that has attacked the human race, forcing everyone to hide behind walls. The main character in both is determined to fight against the monster. Trustme, you will get AOT vibes when you watch Koutetsujou no Kabaneri.

The same apocalyptic scenario, the same hybrid main characters fighting against non-humans (titans and Kabanes). Steampunk aesthetics, at some point, is shared as well. The epic and trascendental fight is leading by a group of people trying not only to survive, but to understand the world in which they live. Also remarkable, the great similarity between weapons: Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear (Shingeki no Kyojin) and Tsuranuki Zutsu (Koutetsujou no Kabaneri)

Both series take place in a post apocalyptic world where mankind is forced to survive by building walls to keep the monsters out. The main protagonist have experienced a traumatizing encounter with the monsters when they were younger and is now determined to fight for humanity's survival. Both series are made from the same studio. If you like one of them, chances are you'll find something to enjoy from the other.
they are both made by the same studios and they have the same kind of feel, although i like the mc in kabaneri more.
These shows are similar because:
They were made my the same studio,
Each of them have humanity slowly dying off because of Titans/Kabane,
They hide themselves in walls/Stations
There is only one way to kill them,
MC is out for revenge.
These two are obviously very similar in content and overall impression, as both series had the same people involved.
Both are action-oriented shows, feature a setting where mankind is defending itself against powerful creatures. However, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri also has a zombie-apocalypse-esque theme, as people bitten by Kabane turn into Kabane themselves and start attacking other people.
While SnK has a pre-industrialized european look to it, KnK has more of a steampunk setting. Both shows make use of violence to get their point across. Both shows feature high quality music and artwork, so you are unlikely to be disappointed by the production quality.
Action, Drama, Fantasy, Horror are all in this anime. The main character got the same goal revenge!. they both have the sense of justice.

From the aspect of the story, anime singer has a lot of similarities, In Between can Judging from the attack of the kabane And titan Equally attack humans, humans are many who go to save themselves, and in this anime too many people are killed by Kabane and Titan , to then be able to watch yourself.
Very similar plot, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri have multiple cities (stations) surrounded by walls to protect them from monsters (kabane) that are difficult to kill just like the titans. I wouldn't use the words 'a realistic version' of attack on titan but i would say its not quite as far fetched as fighting giants. I personally enjoy the feel of the characters, they are quite different to the characters in attack on titan so it shows another side to humanities survival. Obviously there is overlap in personalities for example : desperation, fear, cowardice etc. I just mean there are general differences.
Both people from the anime series live behind walls, the protagonists share the same qualities and both anime series worth watching.

First, let's get out the way that both animes are made by Studio Wit. Both shows have Hiroyuki Sawano behind the music, so if you liked the music from either one of them you'll definitely like the other. Both animes are post-apocalyptic, the titans and kabane look quite similar in terms of shading. The action in both shows is insane. The main characters of both shows have some sort of ability putting them at an advantage against their enemy.
It's almost same based on titan type .. story. Because here you'll see zombie which are equivalent to those type of titans. And here you'll also find special gears to eliminate them. Also has a pretty good story. I can assure you that you would love this.
Created by the same team who made Attack on Titan, it's no surprise this made the list. The premise reflects that of Eren and his team, as Ikoma and his team would fight against a horde of undead creatures who plan on terrorizing humanity. A lot of gruesome action takes place all throughout both anime, with bodies flying across the screen, leaving a sea of blood everywhere the main protagonists go. Both anime have centered themselves around building a fortress, with hopes to protecting what's left of humanity before it's too late.
