Another

Denpa-teki na Kanojo addpermalink

In both anime, the main character meets a mysterious girl and the pair finds themselves in the middle of danger (in Another, a deadly curse - in Denpateki, a string of serial killings as well as a cult-like prankster group). The investigations build up similar atmospheres; though Denpateki is a bit more serious than Another, they both take a look into the psychology behind the characters and each has its fair share of death/gore/crazy people/plot twists.

Denpa teki na Kanojo > Another 

report Recommended by Audio

Both of these anime are dark mysteries with gruesome deaths involving high school students.  

report Recommended by J_to_S

Two works of terror, carried out by 2 school boys, a strange girl, which the protagonist suspected of her. These kids are wrapped up in the mysteries that live around them, and will try to find an answer to their questions. A supernatural air can be felt by mixing the anguish, the terror of the human being and the daily life of the characters trying to keep going, although they hide chilling secrets, after each death, after each case

They are both of the mystery/horror genre, although another has more horror and also a supernatural element that Kanojo doesn't have. They both contain plot twists and somehow give a similar vibe. Although Another is a lot longer. 

report Recommended by Ancrath

Both have an ominous aura, even though “another” is much more dark.

On one side you have “another”, which is super gory with some nOice mystery/investigation themes in it.
then you have “denpa-teki na kanojo” which is good because it also has that feel of mystery/investigation.

What drew me in “denpa-teki” was it's female protagonist which both had that uncertian feeling, you know that feeling of not knowing if she's on the good guys side or the bad guys's
At first in “denpa” there's a female protagonist who you don't really know where she came from, just like in “another”, but she quickly loses that. and on the other hand misaki from “another” keeps that unknown vibe til the (marvelous) last episode.

In concluison, if you liked the, in my opinion, very similar mystery vibe from denpa you'll love the mystery sensation from another and vice versa. read more

Ghost Hunt addpermalink

In essence, both these series contain the elements of horror, mystery, and the thriller like feelings when you watch its progressing episodes. In other words, there are some cliffhangers that leaves the viewers wondering "what will happen next?"

At any rate, Another and Ghost Hunt are similar in a variety of ways. Both series contains a school like setting where mystery is present. Additionally, the main protagonist is accompanied by a girl throughout the series with all the strange phenomenon going around. 

Both series although different in terms of story structure builds itself through suspense, horror, and mystery. 

Both series' characters are also teenagers and thus has an urge to be curious and solve complications going around them despite the potential dangers. Both series overall should be an entertaining watch for those into detective fiction with a little added horror and thriller like ending vibes to them.  read more

Not sure if its truly right to compare something so early in its debut but 
Judging purely from episode 1 of Another, both series' share:
- a similar eery atmosphere
- psychological horror genre?
- a dark mystery in need of uncovering
- a similar look, use of music and mood
- a main male protagonist who has had a death in the family

Just check the cover... Need I say more? lol... Just kidding...
In all seriousness though..

* Both have weird Female lead
* Both of them have an eye Patch
* Both Male lead are almost identical
* Both series required a whole new level of imagination to be created
* Both series will leave you clueless in a different way though for each of them
* Both series are so alike yet so different :D
Guaranteed though that everyone will enjoy both.. 

report Recommended by Carex

They are both short, 12 episode animes that take place in a school setting. The female protagonists both have a thing for eye patches and are considered "unusual" or alienated by their classmates. They both behave differently from everyone else and manage to drag the male protagonists into their strange sphere of influence, thereby setting him apart from his fellow peers as well. As time passes the boys naturally dissolve into the unusual world that the girls are "trapped" in and become a pillar of support for them. The happiness of the girls becomes the boys' primary goal above all else.

well um lol the female protagonist in both animes wear eyepatches and it gets kinda weird but its interesting nevertheless

Rikka wishes she could be Misaki, and I'd say they are rather similar, although that is where the similarities end. 

report Recommended by okamikotori

An unsettling eyepatch girl. Though Another and Chuunibyou aren't so similar in plot. Both anime does have a similar character, namely the eyepatch girls, Mei and Rikka, who are also both social misfits accompanied by the fresh slate of minds Kouichi and Yuuta.

While Another is a mystery horror anime with students catastrophic position of trying to save lives, Chuunibyou is a warm-hearted anime with delusions and the history with them.

Both series contain plenty of mystery revolving around mysterious deaths and suspense. Both series' plots are twisted and contain plot holes as confusion and horror spreads as the episode progresses.

Both series contain a cast of characters that begin to lose themselves in hopelessness as the murders continues in unfit matters. Additionally, some of the murders are graphic and increasingly violent as the death count toll piles up.

Similar feel, but Another is more dark. Both anime is of a class of students who are all have a risk of dying and in both anime the class has to find the 'special' person, where in Danganronpa it is the murderers but in Another it is the 'Extra' one. Also, both a bloodbath of an anime.

While "Another" is more horror and "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu" - more humorous, both stories involve a  class which is being avoided by others. These two animes also involve a certain "ritual", which is done by the whole class, for example killing Koro-sensei in "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu" and ignoring a certain student in "Another".

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge addpermalink

In Another and Dansai Bunri no Kuraimu Ejji, both main, male leads notice a girl who is excluded from those around her. Both are interested in finding out why and so they seek out the girl more, but others are being opposed to this happening. Both series are dark, but also enjoyable to people who don't usually watch psychological and dark animations. You will notice more similarities as the main plot and the characters unfold. The main, male characters decide that they will be there for the girl, even if it gets themselves hurt in the process. And from this, new events unfold no one would have expected. read more

They have the same base, everybody wants a person to disappear (better said "to die"), but the main character decides to get to know that person better and protect her.  The difference is, Another is a bit more creepy and Akuma no Riddle is a bit of a shoujo-ai.

Shadows House addpermalink

While the story and setting are entirely different, the two are similar nonetheless, considering that the vibes that these two give are on the next level of resemblance. Dolls with mystery, something about it feels oddly eerie, and that is what these series are trying to accomplish. The only difference is that "Shadows House" has the CGDCT aspect while "Another" does not.

Dark Gathering addpermalink

Dealing with ghosts, spirits, curses in the animes have similar events.
Team of young people trying to solve mysteries behind some strange phenomenon but in this world of darkness they are still new and inexperienced.
Both of the anime have a little similar cover picture design and background theme. On the other hand the story on both of them are not similar.

In "Dark Gathering" they are hunting bad spirits but in anime "Another" they are trying to avoid the bad phenomenon. Despite some difference these two can be matched to some extent.

Wonder Egg Priority addpermalink

May look like a stretch, but WEP and Another do have some kind of destructive class environment with borderline gorey type content.

Honestly, looking at the two, they are both quite unsettling and that only improving in expanding how unsettling and unearthly things get the more you look into things. Both anime have characters that look for good though, fighting through something no student should face in the name of fixing the broken order currently existing.

Both are good anime looking into how students deal with calamities with one another.

School Days addpermalink

Although there are a lot of positive things to say about Another and School Days, if there is one factor that brings them together, it is how silly they are unintentionally. I don't mean to bring the two in a negative light but they can sometimes be a bit ridiculous to the point of comedic level. 

Regardless, Another and School Days use students to make a somewhat realistic story in how students would go around messy situations. Another does this with the calamity causing monthly deaths, School Days does this with teenagers who just don't know how to love properly.

Both are presumptuous psychological anime that still can hold their end of the bargain with what they sell. I would imagine most would enjoy these two if they are fans of the genre.
