Kaze no Na wa Amnesia

Both series involve dark post apocalyptic story lines, come from a similar era of animation and have a similar tone, so those looking for something similar in nature should hopefully not be displeased. 

The two movies are older classics with story lines where the hero struggles through an immense journey with similar endings, something I won't go into more detail regarding to avoid spoilers. 

Despite their different genres and times periods (real life and in-universe), Appare-Ranman and Kaze no Na wa Amnesia are both stories of trans-American road-trips from LA to NYC filled with danger. Characters get to know each other better as they drive closer and closer to their destination, New York City. 

The setting of a post-apocalyptic world is a commonality between these two shows that otherwise feel very dissimilar, with "High School of the Dead" being set in a modern Japan whilst "A Wind Named Amnesia" being set in a more futuristic United States. The male protagonists from both anime are kindhearted and straightforward action heroes, especially when they jump into danger in order to save people in need of help. 

Both are post apocalyptic road movies/series and have a melancholic, philosophical feeling to it. While the third, the civilization had already more recovered in Amnesia, the collapse is still more recent. 

Both center around traveling in an endless wasteland, meeting new people and contemplating on what motivates humans to live. Wind Named Amnesia is more action-heavy while Girls' Last Tour is more slice-of-life type of show. 

Both series involve a world in which society now follows far more basic rules of survival and in which many of the cities are rather broken down. In Mospeada, people can still talk, but similarities between the two are uncanny. Both also involve a group traveling around to different cities and have some similar experiences among them, even if their goals are different. If you want to see more ruined cities and people living in now terrible societies, check the other out. 

While in A wind name Amnesia is shown how world faced its "Death" in Interlude u already see it destroyed - in the end at least. Is a very interesting anime whose characters are trapped between two worlds trying to understand which one is real. Can't say there are a lot of similarities between this two, but I strongly believe that those who enjoyed Kaze no Na wa Amnesia, will enjoy Interlude as well. 

Apocolyptic movies made during the same time frame, both share simular themes to each other. 

Aliens seek/sought world annihilation. Should the human race be allowed to continue as it is or should it start afresh? Should love be over the human destiny or should the human destiny be over love. 

Both animes are about earth with very few humans on it. 

Both "Kino's Journey" and "A Wind Named Amnesia" have traditional sci-fi elements in them, that one would expect to find in western movies and TV series. However neither would ever be done in the west, but their backdrops have been used multiple times. Both series are about 2 people (well one person and a motorcycle that speaks in "Kino's Journey", and trust me it's not as silly as it sounds), who are on a journey, and travel to many different places that are in contrast with each other, and our world. Both series are journeys in the literal sense, and journeys into the human mind. They examine ways of thought, what it means to be human, the darker and lighter sides of humanty, and even get very psychological at times. In essence they are incredbly philosphical journeys, and very well thought out. The examine schools of thought, religion, morality, and other concepts incredbly well. They are both two very deep and just brilliant animes. Both series are not boring, but slow paced. They do feature action, and use it quite well, but neither are exiting, riveting, non-stop fighting kind of series. If you want non-stop robot fighting, look elsewhere. If you want intellegent thought provoking anime, these two meet that critera better then most anime I've seen. Also the english dubs on both are great, well worth a listen to even sub-only fans. There are some slight differences. "Kino's Journey" has some fantasy elements, while those are lacking in "A Wind Named Amnesia". "Kino's Journy" being a 13 episode TV series is longer, and overall the stronger of the two. But to "Amnesia's" defense, it was first, and beat out "Kino" by 13 years. "Amnesia" should have been/could have been a very interesting 13-26 episode TV series, sadly it isn't it's just a movie. "Kino's Journey" has a more "simplistic" yet beautiful type of artwork, while "A Wind Named Amnesia" has a more standard high quality Madhouse look to it (which still looks great almost 20 years later), both which work well. Both also feature different styles of music. Also "Kino" is a little more preachy about what it's dealing with, while "Amnesia" leave the answers wide open. Kino in "Kino's Journey" is more of an observer, while Wataru in "A Wind Named Amnesia" interacts with, and attempts to change things at times.  read more
