Kemonozume

Both titles are directed by Yuasa Masaaki with a similar dark and gritty atmosphere. As well as similar art, animation, and a similar vibe. The main protagonist in both shows are trying to remain human while having a demon inside of them. Both anime are filled with blood, gore, and gratuitous nudity. If you like one, you will enjoy the other.  

Crybaby may as well be an updated version of Kemonozume. Yuasa uses several of the same artistic shots, and the gore in both is something you won't see very often in the medium today.  

Yuasa Masaaki shows with a gritty atmosphere that involve demons that can take a human form. 

Two gory, erotic, psychedelic Monster-in-Human-Disguise stories, directed by Yuasa Masaaki. Easiest recommendation in my life. 

Very similar moral discussions 

Masaaki Yuasa is the man who directed both of these very unique animated anime series. Both anime question humans and monsters as species, and who is actually the real monster? They both get very graphical with gore and nudity, but it is nothing too horrorful to be of too much harm, however this does mean that the anime may not be for everyone. I recommend to watch Devilman: Crybaby first to see if you are up for his work, and if you like it you should check out Kemonozume as well. 

Both shows share the same creator, Masaaki Yuasa, and there are alot of simillarities, in it's themes and execution. The artstyle's the same, very out-there and specific, alothough don't expect too much from an actual plot, both shows feels like a collaboration of alot of conflicting ideas, strung by zero to no worldbuilding, and presenting to the viewers something unique. 

The similarities in direction and art-styles are unmistakable. The art-styles are definitely not for everyone as they take a very artistical and uncommon aproach from what we typically see in the anime medium. Several moments and key points of Devilman: Crybaby remind me of Kemonozume. However, while Kemonozume starts quite dark and seriously it ends too over-the-top while Crybaby's beginning is pretty comical but ends up in a really serious and dark tone. That is the main reason I found Devilman: Crybaby more enjoyable but still recommend both. While these two anime feel pretty ridiculous at times they share strong and cruel themes. Some of these include the fear of other humans be monsters, the lack of morality and humanity of some people in order to get power, the possible extinction of humanity at their own hand, the denial of love between beast and human, and so on. In short, not simple wars between humans and monsters as the feelings and will to live from both sides are taken into consideration read more 

-Both are works directed by Yuasa Masaaki , hence the similar artstyle that involves psychedelic visuals , some nudity and plenty of violence (which is characteristic to Devilman franchise inherently ) -Both center around the conflict between humanity and demons / flesh eaters and raise questions as what does it truly mean to be human or rather being humane. -Even auditory wise are very similar, I was able to identify soundtracks from Kemonozume in Devilman: Crybaby, also the opening themes sound very alike, except that Devilman's opening theme is instrumental entirely. -Both involve protagonists that struggle with their demon side and try their best to remain human at their core .  read more 

Animes share similar spirit of making a picture. I totally recommend it to watch. 

Similar at the start, strange monster, same style, explicit. Is in some extent about the same theme (but not fully) 

Kemonozume shares a lot of similarities with DevilMan CB. From art style to the type of tone that the story gives off, it makes you look at humanity from an interestingly dark stand point, while some light still manages to shine through the brutality of it all. If you like a forward plot and a good amount of bloodshed with sexual tension, just like in DevilMan Crybaby, then this anime should interest you. Not everything is perfect about Kemonozume; I found that I much preferred the first half of the show in comparison to the last half, but there were interesting plot twists throughout it all. I do advise watching this show either by yourself or with close company that can stomach brutal material, metaphorically or otherwise, because if you've seen DevilMan and know just how "controversial" it is, then I'll warn you that Kemonozume is just as wonderfully strange and controversial during certain episodes as well. read more 

Similar art. Same director. Overdose of sex and gore. Though some philosophical questions are mentioned, too. Main characters are half-monsters who fight their inner beast in attempt to remain human and find their place in the world. 

Devilman Crybaby and Kemonozume are VERY similar shows, which makes sense since they even share the same director (Masaaki Yuasa). They both feature an unorthodox, crude art style that is love-it-or-hate-it. Both shows are about demons who disguise themselves amongst humans, but reveal their true form after becoming sexually aroused. Both shows feature a ton of sex and violence and grotesque imagery. I didn't even like either show but I can still see how incredibly similar they are.  

Same director, therefore both anime have a similar atmosphere, character-design, art style, set of characters, plot etc... Those series are pretty much alike. 

The series are from the same director and studio. One has to get used to their unique art style and they are both very emotional, tragic and dramatic. 

Same weird Art Style and Story as Kaiba, but Kaiba has more complete story and mystery. 

From the surface, both series adapts a very strange of presenting its artistic backgrounds for the characters and setting. As strange as it is, both series has an insightful way of presenting its story. Kaiba and Kemonozume also has the same director and studio. These two series requires patience and has more depth than the typical anime series of the industry. They also have a colorful cast of variant characters. There is also a sense of surrealism presented in the shows. Although it may come to take some time to understand what is going on, I'm recommending both series for its presentation and delivery.  

Kemonozume was created by the same director as Kaiba (Masaaki Yuasa). So, the art is very similar. These shows also flaunt that very specific brand of off-the-wall style you can expect from Yuasa. My opniom is that Kaiba is a better series, but Kemonozume is not bad.  

It's done by the same person.Though the content is very different, they both share similar overall themes, I don't wanna spoil it for anyone so I won't say. If you liked one you'll definitely like the other, trust me. 

The art is very simular. Both are very special. Both are kind of philosophical and have some lessons for life in store for you. They are from the same director. 

If you stand with the minority who actually adore Yuasa Masaaki & Tatsunoko Production's art-style, then watch Kemonozume. Definitely not for the faint heart, hell there was an actual fucking gore image in one of the episodes, and it has more NSFW scenes than Edgerunners. The fight scenes and traditional samurai sword techniques really remind me of PPtA, same with the pacing that's pretty fast.  

While different in story, those two anime have very similar "rought" artstyle and visuals. 

Of caurse 'Kemonozume' and 'House of Five Leaves' are very different but if you look for something as original as one of the animes, I highly recommend the other. Both animes have an original story, an unique art style and deal with very mature topics. There're psychological, romantic, cruel and dark things going on. Therefore you will find violence and nudity in the animes but it all serves the plot. 

Very similar animation. Similar atmosphere though Kemonozume's mood is more dark and Mind Game's mood is more light-hearted and funny. Similar crazy plot-lines as well. 

Forbidden love is the main theme in both series. Basilisk is about the love between two ninjas of rival clans, while Kemonozume shows the love between a Shokujinki, a kind of cannibal monster, and a member of Kifuuken, the group specialized in killing them. 

Both series have monstrous creatures that devour human beings to survive. Both have a protagonist who has to find a way to either live with or eradicate these monsters. Both are incredibly good psychological series in different aspects. Both worth the watch.  

Story-wise, both works have strong character development for multiple characters, and both stories are also propelled by conflicts centering shady and complicated organizations (in short: similar antagonists). Directing/art-wise, every scene from both anime feel like an art piece: carefully done, and detailed. Both use deranged (and fantastic) animation to depict disturbing moments. While the physical and violent moments are obviously disturbing (and frequent), the focus on how a character's psyche gets impacted is more jarring. While Kemonozume is a lot darker than Tekkon Kinkreet, the odd humor is still there.
