Anime Recommendations

A story about the criminal resurrection of a loved one. Creation of a chimera from a human and an animal. The main characters meet a group of heroes from the East who help them in the second half of the series. Fantasy with politics. Laws of magic.

Both anime are about a boys' group trying to strenghten their companionship and going after their goal in a rsther brutal way

Cute smol animals who are independent and get accustomed to everyday life in modern day Japan with humans helping or having fun with them in these short episodic series sure to make you feel relaxed and awe at the cuteness.

Both have magic and physics. Great for people who fantasy politics and crazy supernatural battles

Same creator and director (Hiroko Utsumi).

Wacky school setting with yanki and a lot of stuff inspired by the shows from the 80s and 90s.

It drives the same conflicts of one to no parents in the household, but for akachan to boku has a lot of deeper episodes and at some point will make you cry.

Similar vibe of MC being introduced to an unfamiliar environment where all of his peers are much better than him initially. In Baby Steps it's attending a Tennis Academy and in Gin no Saji it's going to an agriculture High School. Throughout the series, the MC grows and learns to love their new environment while ultimately discovering new life goals.

Both Are The Characters Have Team Like Hashira And Night Raid And Both The Team Is Hunting And Training And Both The Team Had The Same Goal Like The Goal Of Hashira Is To Kill Muzan And Night Raid Goal Is To Esdeath And The Both Animes Have Base That To Go Fight The Slayers And Night Raid Like Muzan Is The Leader Of Twelve Kizuki And Esdeath The Leader Of the Jaegers And Both Team Had Leader Like Kagaya Ubuyashiki And Najenda And Both Had The Same Goal Like Ubuyashiki Goal Is To Defeat Muzan And Najenda Is To Defeat Esdeath

Dialogue-heavy animes with a great story and great art. You will have a great time racking your brains about what just happened after watching. If you like that sort of stuff.

80's overdose in two different angles. Action or romantic scy-fi sitcom. It's a rare comparation but follow me in this.

Being depressed it's not only being gloomy all day. It's more related to the inhability to do things even when we know that we must do them. Both animes shows us a character with an active and funny social life, they both have people who care about them and they doesn't shows all the time how they feels but they have something on their minds that torment them. We have two stories with a simmilar aproach to depression and how to confront it and find some peace.

They share a common thing where people fight threats as well do they use weapons. The difference is that Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) is more intense plus survival war oriented and fantasy related with a focus on monsters known as Titans while in World Trigger, the characters go on missions to battle Neighbors whom are on the other hand futuristic, but both creatures are still non-humans. Overall, I’d say that World Trigger resembles with AOT in some ways albeit different.

Needless and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Gurren Lagann) resemble in quite a few ways, but they differ in tone: -Both are action-packed and fast-paced at times. -The main character designs are similar. -Post apocalyptic setting, and it relates to something when war occurred. -Sci-Fi. -Great Music. Differences: -Needless has more comedy than the latter does while TTGL has to deal with character driven moments. -TTGL is more mecha, and Needless on the other hand has to do more with mutants who posses superpowers.

MC trying to achive their goal to become normal human

Both The Characters Like Akame And Hanako Have Siblings Like Kurome And Tsukasa And The Siblings Are Villain And Kurome Trying To Defeat Akame And Tsukasa Is Trying To Beat Hanako

Very similar setting and characters, without the alien stuff.

Both Bocchi the Rock and BanG Dream focus on high school girls who are in bands together, with slice-of-life elements and a great cast of characters. Both shows also have amazing music.

Both of them involves the main cast adventuring and exploring many different places that are different from your typical fantasy/ scifi. The places they visited have their theme of own unique style of customs and problems and environments to them where's the main cast have or encounters a quark that prevents them from staying for too long

Both are adventures featuring young main characters investigating something mysterious by going deep inside a place they are not familiar with where they run into may sights and siturations on their way Both takes place in a fantastical world with very unique and intriguing worldbuilding. they also have similar pacing and some fansurvace

Similar setting, romance/relationship is similar, similar vibes

Both are about a group of young girls exploring a unique post apocalyptic world whos main motive is to get to an end location in search of something. wheres they stop by and encounter many different people, creatures and anomalies along the way during their travels. Both relies on similar worldbuilding as they both have many strange nonsensical architecture, and the main cast have a vehicle that they frequently use to traverse The main difference is that one is much more muted and subtle whist the other is much more colorful and more rambly main cast

Both shows start with two people called Nana meeting each other, one talented, and the other... talentless (or more average, to be charitable). Beyond the initial similarities, following the story will make you guess, "What will happen in the next episode? Who is the next person of interest?"

Same kinda vibe with the forgotten unseable girl trying to overcome personal issues to move forward.

You're looking for an ensemble cast that tells interconnected stories about city life and the dark, criminal underbelly, in which it doesn't look like everything will be connected at first but then all of the separate stories come together to tell one cohesive one? Look no further

Hinomaru Sumo and Baki have a similar premise in which the main characters train and fight to become the strongest. Hinomaru wants to reach highest rank of yokozuna in sumo. Baki wants to be the strongest fighter in the world to have revenge against his father. The series have different atmospheres because of their different approaches to the use of violence and friendship in the storylines. If you want the same atmosphere then this recommendation is not for you, but if you want more combat sport fights, more defiance and more manliness then this might be for you.

Similarities: - Both series have Humanity travel interplanetary - Both series have a planet with alien life - Both series have space ship and space civilizations - Both series have humans with super powers Differences: - Xing Hai has a few characters vs Da Yuzhou has a wide character range - Xing Hai has some romance vs Da Yuzhou is more dystopian - Xing Hai has deeper plot and flashbacks vs Da Yuzhou is mainly linear and forward

primarily lighthearted and comedic shows about monsters (vampires or demons) being shown as more silly and ridiculous as opposed to dark and dangerous. generally seems to be an overlap of fans. iruma-kun is comparatively much more plot driven than kyuuketsuki sugu shinu, with the former being a linear story and the latter being primarily one-off gag episodes

Similarities: - Both MC are transferred into a magic world - Both MC continue their profession in the new world - Both MC join a party/team in the new world - Both MC and their team are unironically comedic - Both MC journey with their own end goals in mind Differences: - Kemono Michi MC is more action/comedy vs Saitou is more fantasy/comedy - Kemono Michi MC doesn't have much romance elements vs Saitou hints at romance

If you need a good slice of life romance this anime can be said to be quite good even I can guarantee it because it is similar, because the story of life is not monotonous which makes it good I recommend it.

Similarities: - Both series include MC having a system window - Both series include MC completing tasks to progress - Both series MC become 'overpowered' overnight - Both series MC build a guild/team Differences - Kui cheng is chinese vs SL is Korean/Jap sub - Kui cheng is more comedy vs SL is more action - Kui cheng MC is more relaxed vs SL MC is more tense/on edge - Kui cheng has different themes/world to SL

The easiest and most obvious recommendation ever. Ocean, shipgirls, lewdness, battles, slice of life. You'll find plenty of them in both anime.

Both protagonists are reincarnations and excel in magic. They both try to somewhat hide it.

both have young boys as the main charater who is obsessed with some fantasy element, in knights and magic is mechs and in 7th prince its magic. both of them are extremely talented in there areas and tend to creep people out with how focused they are. both improve there areas in ways no-one has thought of before both have MC's that kinda look like girls. both are set in a magical fantasy world where the MC's get reincarnated to live out there otaku dreams in there respective fields. 7th prince has a lot more ecchi stuff then K&M witch has no ecchi things.

Battle shounen anime have never declined in popularity and have continued to introduce new characters to a new audience. Where there is popularity, you can find uncut gems that wasn't given an opportunity to shine. Air Gear and The God of High School are perfect examples of this because they weren't given enough episodes to finish their stories and fans had a lot of love for their manga. The main characters basically want to be the best and win against everyone, but it is these characters and their conflicts that makes you want to watch more. If you enjoy it then you'll want to continue past the anime.

- both has very cute senpai-kouhai relationships (well its love in uchi no kaisha and friendship in atarashii joushi) - the side characters too are well depicted and written

Both anime have a MC who is trying to restore someone's humanity. There is good sword fighting in both , which are usually against supernatural opponents such as monsters and demons.

Watching through Ragna Crimson really reminded me of Akame Ga Kill. Two opposing factions battling it out with high stakes for survival. Both series have a character which carries the anime "Crimson" in Rangna Crimson and "Esdeath" in Akame ga Kill. Akame ga Kill though has better world building, action scenes and character development in my opinion. However, if you like one your sure to like the other.

Character-driven horror with ecchi character designs.

Both have the premise of a person who travels to the past to meet their family and the different bizarre ocurrences that happen because of that. Both also have a similar style of dry humor, witty heavy dialogue and slaptick comedy. (copied from my AniDB recommendation)

Two absurdist romantic comedy anime where the focus is on time travel and the different paradoxes it could create. Time travel here works in a similar way as well, as there is just one single timeline where the different mysteries presented are basically created by the other travels to the past. Animation style is also experimental in both, the biggest similarity being the use of real-life imagery. Heck, they're both charming comedies that you shouldn't miss if you like quirky romcoms. (copied from my AniDB)

Feudal Japan is a popular setting in anime because it offers so much material to explore. What Onimusha and Ninja Scroll contributes to this category is their supernatural elements, specifically demons and inhuman powers. This sets the ground for extreme graphic violence as swordsmen fight demons. Anyone looking for more anime set in a supernatural feudal Japan will be glad to find this one.

same staff, similar atmosphere and rhythm, the noir vibe is good

Main motive of both anime is marrying non-human lord of "hostile" kingdom by abandoned girl that tries her best to be great, reliable beloved. Also both main characters are very determined and make bold decisions.

if you finished watching frieren and want to find another 10/10 show that makes you feel sentimental and emotional, I feel like violet evergarden would be the best option for you.

Buddy Daddies and Gangsta have similarities in story and characters. Story: The story revolves around a city with high crime activities. Both involve conflicts between Gangsters/Mafia. Characters: The main characters from both anime work by eliminating their targets (assassins/gangsters) They work as a team and live under the same roof. They also have similar dynamics: - Worick (Gangsta) and Kazuki (Buddy Daddies) are womanizers. - Nico (Gangsta) and Rei (Buddy Daddies) are calmer than the formers, and really skilled when it comes to their job. Differences: - Buddy Daddies sets on a more modern city compared to Gangsta. - Buddy Daddies tries to balance between slice of life and action, while Gangsta focused more on action. If you enjoyed one, you might like the other.

"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" and "The Apothecary Diaries" both aired from Fall 2023 to Winter 2024. So what makes them similiar- - led by an interesting female protagonist (Frieren and Maomao) and good supporting characters, each having their own story - set in medieval world - good ost

We follow the villains of a classic Japanese Saturday morning kids show being the main focus, deconstruct the hero and meaning of heroism while providing a show not at all suitible for younger audiences. Both are homage-parodies where the studio put lots of care in, showing their love for the genre.

Similar Vibe (but less mature). Ichikawa is like a Hachiman but more kind. Art style and music are great in both anime.

Similar Vibe (but less mature). Ichikawa is like a Hachiman but more kind. Art style and music are great in both anime.

Both are satirical takes on a Power Rangers-like setting, but this is less drama and more romcom with a villain and a ranger being in love.

Very similar concept Group of people suddenly in a time frozed world they don't know it's real or not.

They are both school slice of life anime with a lazy main characters. Both series are also chilling and optimistic, but they involve different things. Hyouka focuses on students who engage in mysteries while Tanaka Kun centers around the lives of a lazy guy with a lighter tone.

- a powerful yet socially awkward male mage - a discriminated female elf/half-elf disciple Mirroring the dynamic between the characters, their relationship evolves from one of mastership/mentorship to a blossoming romance, as they navigate societal prejudices and personal growth together. Mahoutsukai no Yome is slower and more serious.

The immersive world-building seamlessly integrates with the protagonist's recurring odysseys, similar in both animes.

Netflix original anime have a hit or miss reputation that alienate hardcore anime fans who prefer to skip most titles. The general consensus is that Onimusha and Yasuke are misses and therefore have received little attention. Onimusha and Yasuke are samurai anime series with fantasy elements that are easily watchable with their short episode count. Sometimes this is all you need along with some action for a good time. If this was one of your reasons for watching this anime then you should consider this recommendation.

Onimusha and Afro Samurai are samurai anime from creators outside of the medium who bring their own artistic quality to the genre. Onimusha is based on a video game series by Capcom and this adaptation is directed by Takashi Miike who is a Japanese film director, film producer and screenwriter known for several extreme violent films. Afro Samurai is based on a doujinshi from a creator with strong American influences and the adaptation became a collaboration between Samuel L. Jackson, Studio Gonzo, the doujinshi creator, and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. Viewers who can appreciate these outside influences are the ones who will enjoy these anime the most. You will know if this speaks to your taste, but expect two violent anime.

Both are 80s movies directed by Osamu Dezaki about badass and manly men shooting down evil mafia bosses and getting the heart of ladies in the process. While Cobra is more light hearted and takes place in a space opera setting, Golgo 13 is grittier and takes place in a then-contemporary urban setting.

the story around a school club made up of teenagers, the club members follow specific rules which becomes the comic part of the series

Both are trippy

There are things in common: -They are both stories that revolve around a man who travels and finds spirits. -Both series have a beautiful atmosphere and music within the beings they encounter in these sceneries. However in: -Somali, a man goes on a journey with her daughter and is more fanatical emotional story whereas Mushi is more episodic. Overall, both series are beautiful, if you like this kind of related anime’s, then they’re good.

Both shows involve 1 guy with 2 cute girls working together in order to beat strategic games! Winning games also gives them access to more "abilities" to use while playing games.

A similar plot outcome of the main character to those with whom he fought / wanted to become

Two adventure-genre shows with girls journeying in a post-apocalyptic world to get somewhere. Both worlds are but a husk of their former shells after change happened and aside from adventure, there is mystery and a bit of suspense as well in what lies ahead.

Both are shared unique characters Both are shared the fight that can't be avoid Both are shared the happiness to us Fun 100%

Both follows a a highschooler aged protags taking on a music/ sport in order to achieve a specific sound from a dead family member from their lifetime. They also feature a similar art style and clubs which the Mc joins, with a lot of hyped up performances and cranialization

MC thinks that he doesn't deserve to be loved by the heroine😣

The MC who doesn't understand what love is meets the heroine who has been in love throughout the series 🥰

A very entertaining romantic comedy with fantasy setting also female protagonists 😋

Both of them made me experience incomprehensible ecstacy from their legendary, magical OP's, their unique plot, crazy worldbuilding, bloody fights and creative power system, makes both of them an extremely immersive, joyful adventure

Tensura: Every time I sit down to watch this anime felt like a breath of fresh air from life. It’s just so fun, it gives off a super tranquilizing vibe to watch + it has the most epic, energetic high-level action + crazy, Fluid animation + Shion is exquisitely beautiful + Mirimu is the cutest Date A Live: The G.O.A.T Romance Drama, Kurumi is one of the most elegant anime girls you'll ever see, Great battles but not as intense as Tensura Both of them made me experience incomprehensible ecstacy from their legendary, magical OP's, their unique plot, crazy worldbuilding, bloody fights and creative power system, makes both of them an extremely immersive, joyful adventure

Grimm Kumikyoku and Aoi Bungaku Series are adaptations from the old classic literary/story. Both have dark atmosphere.

If you like a fantasy about a character growing and getting stronger with actual fights, watch this

Characters living double lives or dealing with secret identities. In "Full Metal Panic!", Sousuke Sagara is a high school student who is also a skilled military operative, leading to comedic and dramatic situations as he tries to balance his two roles. Similarly, in "Spy x Family", Twilight is a spy who creates a fake family, and each member of the family has their own secret identity or background, leading to humorous and action-packed scenarios as they navigate their interconnected lives. Both series also incorporate elements of comedy alongside their main genres (mecha/action for "Full Metal Panic!" and espionage/family for "Spy x Family"), creating engaging narratives that appeal to a wide range of readers with their blend of humor, drama, and unique character dynamics.

Similarities: * Both have female MCs that want to be in a band * MCs coincidentally meets former musicians/idols that wants to be #1 again * Aired at the same time

In this anime we're able to take a look into ourselfs, in the oyung years in our lives when nothing was clear and we were thrown to the world without knowing what to expect, search what we want in our lives and the styles are pretty different from the normal anime style.

I often hear people compare "Ace wo Nerae!" with the similarly-titled "Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster" for their surface-level similarities and while I can see that Ace wo Nerae! did inspire some parts of Gunbuster, there's a more recent series that feels like it took a lot more from Ace wo Nerae! in some more integral ways. Yes, Ace wo Nerae! is about tennis and Hibike! Euphonium is about a concert band, but below the surface, these shows are extremely similar. In 1973 it was Oka Hiromi and Coach Munakata, in 2015 it became Oumae Kumiko and Taki-sensei. Both stories are about a character slowly finding passion in something that they previously didn't have a strong connection to. And without spoiling the details, I'll just say that there are pretty interesting parallels in the way that the plot progresses. Both series are incredibly compelling stories about passion and willpower. Lastly, I would argue that Hibike! Euphonium (much like Gunbuster) is named after Ace wo Nerae! in the title itself. It's not as direct as Top wo Nerae!, but having an imperative command in the title that describes the central thesis of the main character's passion, as well as each title being an in-universe important part of the story itself... Well, I'll leave it there.

Sentai Daishikkaku and Ajin Demi-Human approach the journey of the anti-hero spiced with the theme of immortality and regeneration in very similar ways. In Ajin, the demi-humans possess an innate ability to regenerate, rendering them nearly immortal. This unique trait becomes both a gift and a curse, as they are relentlessly pursued by authorities eager to research or eliminate them just like the Dragon Rangers tend to exploit this trait unique to dustmen during their staged battles with these villains. The black soot that emanates from both demi-human and dustmen while regenerating from their wounds is a stark visual reminder of otherness their bodies possess and the dangers they face in spite of this advantage. So all in all Sentai Daishikkaku offers a satirical take on superhero teams, where the villains often display similar regenerative abilities but with a comedic twist. Whereas Ajin delves deeper into the ethical complexities of inhuman experimentation and societal responses.

Supernatural ravens, Chinaesque court life, hunky princes, if you enjoyed Koukyuu no Karasu you'll probably enjoy Yatagarasu as well, despite it has a much more toned down shoujo/josei vibe.

If you are looking for something to watch while waiting for the next season of Kusuriya then Yatagarasu will probably rub the right spot. It has a similar setting, great art and shape shifting ravens that are equally supernatural to Maomao's knack for solving court problems. There's princesses and bishounens as well!

Both feature a protagonist who is weak at first and gets ridiculed for it, but then goes through a traumatic experience that makes him want to become stronger. They also have similar personalities, they're independant and cunning and can be ruthless at times to serve their own interests. Both shows also rely heavily on the incorporation of video game mechanics, like a lot of isekai do, but there's an attempt to "subvert" the tropes of the genre by adding plot twists or making the protagonist more morally grey. They're both entertaining enough but not all that deep.

Both shows are completely over the top and the epitome of "edgy". They are completely focused on the characters (which are the weakest part of both shows).

- Both shows are full of strange buddhist/shintoist symbolism - Both have female mc('s) that are chosen ones of some kind. - Both have a unique premise but Arjuna takes itself a bit more serious and is more controversial while Houseki no Kuni panders more to a modern and woke audience.

They are both relaxing supernatural anime that revolve around the daily lives of characters and spirits. Flying Witch has a light-hearted feel with a focus on families lives and friendships along with magic, witches, and spirits while Mushishi (Mushi-Shi) is an atmospheric anime that involves a man lives to encounter spirits. If you like anime that are calm enough, then both of these should be good.

Alternative feudal east asia, courts, politics, servants and mystical beasts.

Both focus on high power sorcerer male character who comes to own an elf-slave love interest. In both cases the OP demon lord male character puts on an evil act to make up for his inability to talk to women but is actually looking to free the slave long term. Unlike Elf Bride,Isekai Maou is a harem romance comedy with two slaves: an elf girl and a cat girl. The show's comedy also derives heavily from ecchi situations. Still the romance is there and the situations are very similar.

If you like artistic power systems, and legendary OP's that will never leave your head, that will make ecstacy and bliss your default state of being, EZ and UU made me experience incomprehensible euphoria from both of their magical OPs, their unique plot, crazy worldbuilding and gorey fights and creative power system, make both them an immersive bizarre adventure

has the same concept with a deaf girl who falls in love with a man. They use sign language. This anime has a beautiful graphic

The story about a bunch of man and teens protecting their city. Lots of action, good seiyuus and a great story.

Easy to watch shows about a primarily female cast playing a VRMMO game with unconventional tactics/powers. Bofuri is more of a comedic, lighter story with more gameplay outside of the tournaments whereas GGO actually has a plot with a couple heavier details, but both still have a lot of focus on the girls (and the token male friend) having fun with the game and playing through competition arcs.

Both are 'hype moe' shows with a similar reliance on crazy, unrealistic tactics/abilities and vast casts of token-y bit characters on school teams that compete against one another. Also, both mains are driven by a conflict between them and their terrifying older sister. However, Saki's characters are more individually developed, whereas Girls und Panzer mostly focuses on teams/rival schools having one core bit shared between the group to distinguish them.

Yuri fantasy/magical LN stories with similar dynamics between the mains (more specifically, an inversion of the other's power balance within the dynamic) and a similar 'isekai that doesn't really care about the isekai' aspect. Both stories similarly 'lose the plot' they initially establish, so assuming that didn't really bother you in one, you likely won't mind in the other.

Both shows feature similar, prominent coming-of-age 'crisis of purpose'/inability arcs between their characters from a post-educational, career-based/'adult world' point of otherwise rare in anime.

Differing atmospheres, but both are occupational-based ensemble cast shows that cut unexpectedly real about their respect fields and the genuine human struggles surrounding them.

Scorching Ping Pong Girls feels very Saki-inspired -- it's probably harder to find differences than similarities. Both are 'hype moe' shows where a group of girls team up in the topical sport/competition and use nonsense superpowers to beat down other schools with nonsense superpowers. It's like a sports shounen with the cast of a CGDCT. Other noteworthy aspects include lesbians, the same dynamic between the mains, and the obligatory girl with big boobs.

Simplistic enemies to lovers romcom dumbfuckery with a slice of (equally simplistic) topic/world flavouring. The romances play out a bit differently, but they have similar vibes.

- both are well-made adaptations of a light novel - both are set within a historical time setting - both feature a dynamic relationship, chemistry, and banter between their lead male and female characters - both have a slower pacing, lots of slice-of-life moments, lots of talking and great writing - beyond mere entertainment, the viewer has a chance to broaden their knowledge as "Apothecary Diaries" delves into the realms of medicine & poisons, while "Spice and Wolf" focuses on economics

pretty much similar with Mushoko Tensi in the art, Environment and atmosphere with more +18 ecchi scenes . story is a little diffrent of that with mushoko but you will get along with it note that fight and action scenes are way more better in Mushoko tesnsi you could consider high scholl an enime for your self entertainment ....
