Koutetsujou no Kabaneri

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 of them.  read more 

Main similarities: - humanity is on the brink of extinction by a more powerful species. - main characters have a certain "power" that helps them fight.  

* Similarities in Story Setting: - Post-apocalyptic world - Steampunk settings - Mankind forced to live in enclosed places (cities or villages with huge walls surrounding them) - Man-eater monsters threatening the existence mankind - Hot-headed protagonist who lost his family to these monsters and wants to destroy them - Protagonist becomes a hybrid of human and the monsters, now extremely powerful because of that - Protagonist has close female friend who is an overpowered fighter, putting the most proven soldiers to shame - Hometown of protagonist invaded by these monsters at the very first episode - Nameless side characters dieing every now and then * Similarities in Production Team: - Same director (Tetsurou Araki) - Same producer (Jouji Wada) - Same animation studio (Wit Studio) - Same music composer (Hiroyuki Sawano) read more 

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. 

Blood, gore, exciting action, monsters, a determined protagonist, badass characters. And even the same studio - similar animation and epic soundtrack. These series really have the same feel and atmosphere; you will likely enjoy one if you enjoyed the other.  

Almost identical concepts Both running/fighting from unknown monsters from unknown sources Both contain a lot of death Both extremely psychological and dramatic 

So similar it would be plagiarism if it weren't for the director of Attack on Titan working on Kabaneri. ....it still might be plagiarism. 

Kabaneri seems like inspired by SnK and they're made by the same studio. Though both may have some similarities, Koutetsujo no Kabaneri has its own way to portray the characters and develop the story, plus it doesn't have a whiney MC at first. If you like SnK, you should give this one a shot. 

MC uses the powers of the enemies - "Weak" male MC and strong female MC - Humans are living contained in strongholds 

Similar plot, wall getting destroyed by overpowered creatures. Similar main characters. 

Once you see a trailer or read the description on this anime you might think: hmm... hold on a sec... where have I heard that before....? Well lets say it's not like they're even trying to pretend it's not almost exactly like Shingeki no Kyojin. Even the Soundtrack is basically the same! However I still can't decide which I like more. However if you enjoyed Attack on Titan, you will most likely enjoy this anime as well. Even though they're so similar, you don't feel like you're watching the same thing. I wont go into more detail how they are alike. But how is Koutetsujou no Kabaneri distinct from Shingeki no Kyojin? Mainly the setting. First Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress seems to be a bit more futuristic, since Attack on Titan appears almost medieval. While in both anime there is a town, in which our main character and his friends live, it is only one huge town surrounded by many walls in Attack on Titan. However there are more of those in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, which are connected by rails. This means of transportation also poses a threat to the towns, but this way an extremely thrilling journey unfolds! The characters are a bit different, too. But in a way that fits the story very well! Well go and see for yourself which one of those two anime you like better! read more 

It's the same concept of an enemy that threatens humanity, this time it's zombies. The main character of both have special abilities that make them a better fighter and their determination to wipe out the enemy is what drives them. Both are good, but Kabaneri won't hold the same satisfaction if you have already seen SNK. 

A post-apocalyptic Earth, where the protagonist through revenge, will become someone "special" able to defeat those monsters that took away their loved ones. 

Badass female char. who is like mikasa. Badass male char. who is like Erin but is more aware of his powers and gives the powers to himself rather than them being thrust upon him. The first episode is only one out right now and it was honestly a really good episode. Looking very forward to the rest of the anime 

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 have: mindless creatures that everyone is afraid of and might endanger humanity; a vengeful main protagonist; amazing action scenes and animation 

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and Attack on Titan are probably the most similar TV series ever. Here's only a partial list of their many similarities: - In both, humans barricade themselves from monsters who kill humans. - Both have a main character with a power connected to the monsters the humans are fighting . - Both main characters state that their main goal is to fight the monsters. - In both, the main character's family is affected by the monsters. 

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. 

Just watch the first episode and get that AoT vibe. Not necessarily a bad thing given that you get hooked immediately onto the story by the end of the first episode. Go on, give it a try! :D 

● 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 + Mumei and Mikasa are similar in terms that they're both badass female protagonists alongside our main guy + Not gonna mention AoT spoilers, but there's a superpower involved in both of them - KnK deviates after some episodes to become generic, therefore different from AoT - The atmospheres and settings of the anime are a little different from each other read more 

They are pretty much the same show. -Main character is similar -Same studio -Same musician -Both have an invasion in episode 1 -Titans are just bigger Kabane I mean, I'd have a harder time pointing out differences than similarities. 

- In both we have a post-apocylaptic world where groups of people live inside a walled city to survive a threat to humanity. - Both have people living in protected zones in fear of invading and dangerous and mysterious creatures that aren't well understood. - Both animes is about fighting these animes and driving them out! - Both anime's has Walled fortresses to keep out the monsters, and one person who comes to posess a mean to defeat the monsters more effectively. - Both protagonists lost their most precious person to the monster. - Bushi in Kabaneri equals Military in SNK. Notably, Kabaneri has the same director and animation studio as Attack on Titan, but looks worlds nicer than AoT ever did. Hopefully it doesn't suffer from the same pacing issues.  read more 

These are both simular in these aspects: - First off, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri was made by the same creator of Shingeki no Kyojin, so you know it's gonna be good. - The have same vibe, in which humans are faced with a great enemy... (both post-apocalyptic animes) - The main character/protagonist in Shingeki no Kyojin seems to have the same characteristic as Koutetsujou no Kabaneri's protagonist in sense of justice! - The sound tracks are really good, good enough to match against Shingeki no Kyojin's sound tracks. - Art style is breathtaking, nothing short of Shingeki no Kyojin's standards!  

Very similar plot and both main characters are half human, trying to save the humanity. 

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 anime tell about mankind that endangered by other species (titan and kabane). -Both main character possess the enemy power (Eren from AoT can transform into titan & Ikoma is half-human and half-kabane, or called kabaneri). -Both anime actually have same sequence of plot: survivor live in shelter - titan & kabane attack shelter - survivor run and find new shelter - titan & kabane attack the new shelter - and so on... 

Similar plots as in apocalypse type situation/humanity targeted. Both mc in both series can turn into the type of monster they're fighting. Heavy action in both series. Highly recommend. 

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. 

both equally have a purpose to survive against non-human enemies, and equally cornered, but the two main characters alike want to fight even when others run out of fear ... and equally have special surprising powers .... both actions was quite stressful ... 

Basically the same story and setting, minus few details here and there. Shingeki no Kyojin has Titans almost leading humans to extinction while in Koutetsujou no Kabaneri has Zombies almost leading humans to extinction. Just don't expect for a season 2 on Koutetsujou no Kabaneri soon. 

Both have intense scenes with blood and gore theme constantly sticking out episode after episode. They both include a group trying to survive against the odds constantly. They both have similar atmospheres. If you like one you will most definitely like the other! 

- Both have fantastic animation - Both are post apocalyptic - Both have a really strong badass female main character - Both have creatures that constantly provide a threat to the human race - Both have militariies which fight back against the creatures - Both have people within walls for safety - Some of the important staff worked on both shows (cant remember who exactly but im pretty sure they both had the same director)  

monsters...scared people being eeaten ... wall to protect humanity... angry mc with scary eyes who swore to kill them all... yes it's all there  

These two are almost similar, telling them that they have to survive the attack and try to survive from inside the wall. The atmosphere is both full of tension. Highly recommended. 

Kabaneri (Zombie like) instead of titans 

Both are about survival, using unique weapons against human enemies, the main character wants to be stronger, sometimes I feel like the air was similar. oh also they're in the same anime production (WIT Studio) 

Both protagonists are warriors who destroys monsters and tries to look to a better and brighter future, and that is one of the reasons that Koutetsujou no Kabaneri & Shingeki no Kyoujin are so alike. If I were to give a two words in comparison it would be Dark and Hell. Dark for the revival to cause more chaos and terror to the citizens, and Hell for the number of monsters and difficulty the warriors have to bare to take them down. They both share the same difficult life and their hometowns being in total chaos and terror. The peaceful moments they share are the best ones before returning to their mission and war. read more 

For these two anime, they are more similar in more ways than one for example; same gutsy main protagonist, main protagonist a half human half kabaneri, badass female lead the same mankind driven to the brink of extinction because of deadly creatures. Bottom line... If you like one of them, then there is no reason not to like the other.  

Last of humankind trapped within stations and armored trains trying to survive against hard to kill zombies. 

The whole wall thing is pretty similar and outside of those walls are creepy monsters who want to kill you, the moment they recognize you. Both anime also have a very simple plot, for my opinion 

Both were done by the same studio, have similar animation styles and dark themes 

They are really really similar anime, the art style, story and characters both have some connections that make them similar. The biggest similarity are the fight scenes. 

Main Character uses the powers of the enemies - "Weak" Main Character without his powers and strong Female Main Character - Humans are living contained in strongholds fighting against mindless maneaters. 

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. One thing to also consider is how strikingly similar each of the main characters are to each other, with both males receiving some sort of devilish power, while the female leads possess lethal skills and a passion to protect those they love. read more 

This is one of the biggest similarities I have seen. - Both start from a "post-apocalyptic" universe in which humanity is enclosed within walls and fortresses due to fear itself. - Both present a traditional political system within the fortified enclaves. - Both protagonists seek revenge against the monsters and question the constant fear that leads humanity to retreat. - Both main heroines are extremely strong and have good action scenes. - Both worlds are plagued by creatures "stronger" than most humans. In Shingeki no Kyojin, it's the Titans. In Kabaneri, it is the Kabanes. - Both protagonists become a fine line between monsters, gaining relative powers alongside them, and humanity. - Both deal with the theme of survival, have heavy atmospheres and people dealing with deaths, escapes amid chaos and lack of resources. - The two shows are from the same studio and feature the same director, in addition to the OST composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. read more 

-Made from same studio. -Feature monsters attempting to destroy humanity. -Main characters are passionate about killing said monsters. -Both have gorgeous visuals. 

They are both fighting against a enemies that are stronger and powerful than them and have to struggle against the odds to survive. Both anime similar story line. 

Almost like if attack on titan was steam punk. 

The quality and story are similar while Kabeneri has an older style that is reminiscence of the 90's, great niche show. 

End of the world, post-apocalyptic show. In Koutetsujou no Kabaneri they're fighting zombie-like monsters instead of titans. Also in the world of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, they live on trains and in train stations, similar to how everyone in Shingeki no Kyojin is trapped inside the walls as a last mean of safety. 

The 2 shows are really similar. In both worlds the countrysides are flooded by monsters, People are forced to live in walled off cities. In both shows the monsters destroy the hometown/area of the protagonist. And both protagonists are mixed with the creatures. 

kabaneri of the iron fortress deals with the concept of humans living in walls and trying to survive and also fighting this monsters with these special weapons .But the only thing different is that kabaneri of the iron fortress they move in these train called fortresses and there is some sad , romance scenes. I suggest you check it out it is a good anime  

They are the same. Isayama took part in both of the (as far as i know) and if you like invasions made by un-stoppable human-ish creatures, go watch it. Blood, emotion, loss of loved ones and walls. 

It's a story that has the same titan. Many things, including scenes that draw various emotions or godly songs And the fight scene is awesome, the best animation work because of the same director, haha 

animation style( same studio), post apocalyptic world and a good plot 

After watching this epic show shingeki no kyojin (Attack on titan) I was searching for something similar and going by the recommendations and checking them out. Koutetsujou no kababeri is the closest and have got lots of similarities. Its the best possible anime similar to Attack on titan and even both the shows are directed by the same director.  

Koutetsujou no kabaneri: the quality and story is beautiful. A very beautiful anime that can be watched after attack on titan. Attack on titan: this anime really GOOD,ı advise 

Both of these stories are set in a dystopian world where Humans and Monsters exist. Both of them have a protagonist which is a hybrid of kabane and human (kabaneri). in both of them the protagonists are the underdogs both of them are both depressing and exciting at the same time. watch them. Personally I find attack on titan to be the better overall anime but I would still recommend watching both of them.  

a failed version of aot but still a good anime 

Many people consider "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" an "Attack on Titan" clone and this fact speaks for itself. Whether you agree or disagree with this, i think "Kabaneri" is still a very good anime. 

Wit Studio did an amazing with aot and kotif I highly recommend watching kotif it’s fast-paced, who doesn’t like a fast-paced anime It also has great fight scenes I’ve always wondered why a lot of people are slept on such an anime when I recommend it to anyone I always say you don’t have to watch all the episodes, just watch the first one because I know after the first episode none would ever drop it, I’m convinced. 

The main characters in need to kill ugly creatures to survive, and they are both half human. I personally think that AoT is a better version Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. 

Both shows are from the same studio: Studio Wit. They also both take place in post-apocalyptic worlds where the main character has a special power that they use to fight monsters. In AOT, its titans, in kabaneri, its zombies. Both are really sick too. 

- Titan or kabane- in both series the world falls into a complete pandemonium state. - Main characters in either series, received the abilities of the devil while showing signs of righteousness and naivety. - A female character with lethal skills and deadly passion who fights to protect the people she loves. - extraordinary theme songs/OSTs - Shingeki no Kyojin demonstrates a species’ right to survive in a world engulfed in despair and death while having to clash with its own kind. Koutetsujou no Kabaneri centers on the saying that ‘retreating is better than dying’. Day after day, fortified cities are conquered and overwhelmed which lead to a retreat into the next safe haven.  read more 

Apart from the fact that the producers are the same, Kabaneri is an anime that presents many similarities with Attack on Titan because giants and kabane can be considered similar and protagonists, although with due differences of characterization, reminded me of those of AOT. 

Both are in like apocalyptic state with Monsters attacking them and have really likable characters. Trust me check it out! 

They are both shows made by studio WIT, they both have similar premises about the world being taken of by monsters/titans that appear out of nowhere and the stories go in very similar directions. 

Both share how humans hide or live in a fortress or a wall from titans or kabame. [spoiler] with fluid or vaccines, you could turn into a titan or kabane as well [spoiler/] 

The theme is almost similar. Both will give you a good action packed and drama feel.  

- A world with creatures/monsters who want to eat human. - The main protagonist who are mixed (Human / Monster) despite him + people who doesn't want him for that. - Human uses modern technologies against creatures (vertical maneuvering equipment/ Steam gun / canon) - Same style of horror - Both animated by WIT Studio 

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, also known as Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, is a post-apocalyptic series very similar to the very popular anime Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). Instead of Titans, this anime has zombie-like creatures called Kabane! 

very similar concepts. both include fighting for their own freedom against human like creatures.  

I just thought they are quite similar, in kabaneri their enemies are like the smoller version of titans. AOT has a much more complicated plot than kabaneri though. The animations especially in fighting scenes on both are really great for me as well. Although kabaneri is underrated, it's worth a watch too.  

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. Both running/fighting from unknown monsters from unknown sources Both contain a lot of death Both extremely psychological and dramatic Similarities in Production Team: Same director (Tetsurou Araki) Same producer (Jouji Wada) Same animation studio (Wit Studio) Same music composer (Hiroyuki Sawano) 

Kabaneri is inspired by AOT. The plot is quite similar to aot and the animation is top notch which is animated by the same studio as AOT, WIT STUDIO! The story isn't rushed and the characters aren't annoying. the fighting style seemed realistic and the way they fight enemy is quite enjoyable to watch. 

If you like aot you would definitely like this made by same studio(wit) 

Kabaneri is just a copy of aot so they are a lot alike. Only difference is the mcs of Kabaneri are whiny and annoying while Aot has good protagonists. Kabaneri also has bad story telling. Basically just a bad version of aot. 

More or less the same thing with zombies instead of titans Note - Female version of Levi spotted lol Less interesting story compared to AOT (obviously cuz isayama is the G.O.A.T) 

Same studio (WIT) same concept but kabaneri keeps the vibes of the 2 first snk season. 

humans die, similar government , main characters have similar desires , and betrayal.  

Made by the same studio as AoT and was inspired by AoT heavily 

First when I saw the walls in this anime I literally thought about Shingeki No Kyojin, and the both MCs want to wipe out the creatures the Titans in AOT and the Kabane, Both animes have the same vibe.in This anime and both MCs don't want to run away and wants to keep fighting. 

Same world building/conditions Fighting for humanity's survival Similar MC nature and mindset Made by the same studio Similar vibes and music themes 

Both series deal with a zombie apocalypse. However, the 'zombies' in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress are 'hard mode' zombies, and has been around for considerably longer. Both series deal with strong themes of survival, This leads to both having amazing, if not over the top, action sequences nearly anytime a battle with hordes of the undead begin. That said, Kabaneri does not have the sexually gratuitous fanservice that HOTD was swimming in, which might make it a slightly more appropriate series to share with others. Lastly, both series are very well animated, with each motion and movement feeling crisp and 'real', while the soundtrack punctuates without overwhelming. 

Both shows features fight-survival story. Both shows has zombie-like creatures, one bite from zombie will lead to death. Both shows has lots of intense and exciting moment.  

Both of these anime have a similar apocolyptic scenerio (zombie apocolypse ) and showcase basass action sequences with a strong female lead charaacter. 

Both are blood pumping zombie shows though Highschool of the Dead does have heavy fanservice. 

MC uses the power of the enemy - "Infected" humans - Enemies become stronger over time 

I know that this might seem a bit odd to some but this anime reminded me of Parasyte. The main character sets off to destroy the infected with the virus/parasyte and both main characters in the anime dont allow the virus to spread to their brain. Both animes are about the main protagonist fighting the infected. 

Both of these anime revolve around the main character stopping a deadly infection before it reaches their brain, and in doing so end up unlike any species, not human nor infected. These mc's that undertake the change handle their situation with similar approaches, that being to preserve and protect human life despite their obvious condition. Another thing thats similar between these anime is the overall feel, its hard to explain but you just get the same adrenalin rush when you see the mc master their conditions. The only significant difference I can think of is the time these are set, Kiseijuu is very modern whereas Kabaneri has a more traditional look with a touch of industrialization. read more 

-Classic '90s anime art style -Protagonist becomes half human half monster -Ambitious characters -Memorable deaths -Well animated blood and gore 

Both anime have an apocalyptic environment where our characters struggle to survive against the human threat known as: -Kabane (Koutetsujou no Kabaneri) -Vampires (Owari no Seraph) * It is largely about the members' struggles against the various monsters that come to invade. * The action and music stands out as much which is a credit to all the hardwork that has been established into the series. * Both of these anime uses various weapons to destroy those invaders... * Both male leads are no longer human (kind of 50/50) * Horrifying and Awesome !!  

A post-apocalyptic Earth, where the protagonist through revenge, will become someone "special" able to defeat those monsters that took away their loved ones and will join with others equally special.  

Kabaneri and Owari no Seraph both displays the downfall of humanity and the superiority of supernatural beings (Kabane and Vampires) over humans. It also shows the courage and boldness of humans to fight those beings in order to retrieve back the world which once they owned. For the main characters, Mika (OnS) and Ikoma (KnK), they have the blood of the creatures that conquers their world. Mika became a vampire and Ikoma is half-human and half-kabane (kabaneri) 

In both series the main male protagonist are near the same age and make up in intelligence and personal skills rather than strength and power. Both protagonist have slightly white hair at some point. Both characters become half human half the supernatural being in their universes and Both trained in fighting by a female character that beats them into submission as part of training.  

A more recent anime to our list,Koutetsujou no Kabaneri or Kabaneri of the iorn fortress.As the name impies,the protagonist has to live his life as half-human,half-kabaneri,enduring the pain and intolerance of other people,who believe that he just wants to kill them and create an uproar inside the fortress.However,he is not alone,since there is alos another girl like him,Mumei.I believe that the animators could have done a better job,but still this anime is good for spending your time,especially if you want to see something like Tokyo Ghoul. 

1 Similar MC 2 similar atmosphere 3 ghouls/undead killing humans 4 Dark, full of bloody shit and gore 5 MC's completely changing personality at the end of the series  

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri's art, dark and polished, kind of remind me of God Eater. For me it's a mix between Princess Mononoke and God Eater. The story is quit similar as well with Aragami standing for Kabane in God Eater.  

Same character archetypes and plot. If you enjoyed the plot progression in God Eater, then you will find more of the same here. The relentless action is delivered in the same fashion and characters go through similar arcs.  

Those two animes are pretty much the same because: - a big wall to keep the humanity - creepy monsters outside of the wall - those monsters kill you at the moment they recognize you - the main character lost his family to thos monsters - the end is pretty much predictable 

Both series have similar settings and motives to the plots that follow towards the series. As the series is produced along with the same soundtrack composer Hiroyuki Sawano, which explains the god-like music. The OP/ED is done by EGOIST Chelly and AIMER, who Chelly has done the OP/ED of Guilty Crown. Back to the plot, it follows similar scenarios of humanity facing the problem of their existence in the brink of extinction, as Guilty Crown (A rapid crystal like cancer virus) and Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (A deadly rapid contagious virus that reanimates a human victim to a cannibal zombie like creatures known as "Kabane"). The protagonist are denied yet are the ultimate cures to humanity's extinction. Yet there are several diffrences such as time era (Guilty Crown being at 2020-2040) (Koutetsujou no Kabaneri being around the height of the Industrial Revolution 1800's towards the end of 1920). read more 

What these series share is one of those storys that just exist to make the visuals look cool Both have an ok not so speacial story with really beautiful animation and sound  

Main characters are kind of similar. It also features songs featuring the band EGOIST which was originally founded to produce the theme songs for Guilty Crown. Story also feels vaguely similar. 

they both have a protagonist who is a hybrid between two 'species'. both of them have to fight an uphill battle. they are both rather depressing. I would recommend it if you like typical shonen where an underdog rises.  

Both series take place in a decidedly steam punk environment, take is somewhere in the past. There, a large portion on the anime is about dealing with re-animated corpses, aka zombies. If you're a fan of the steam punk genre, then you're definitely gonna enjoy the other series!  

We know that Koutetsujou no Kabaneri fails to be an Attack on Titan clone in any circumstances! But it never fails as an awesome anime. Koutetsujou no Kabaneri and Attack on Titan has the same goal to achieve is to eradicate all the monsters in their country and bring peace to the whole nation. And they need answers on how or when the monster started to show up! And now Attack on Titan will be big this end of the year, after reclaiming their homeland from the Titans and now there is another problem left to solve! 

Both mc's appear to have an identity crisis after a massive change to their body and capabilities, while eventually fighting for their very lives due to this change. While Iron fortress has a much more kill them all mentality for the mc, devilman's mc is a kinder soul, but receives massive backlash from the population of devilman appearing as a mob mentality similar to the protests in Portland. Devilman amazingly showcases the goodness some people can harbor despite constant rebuttals, while kabaneri shows peoples unwavering will to survive so well it astounds my expectations.  

Both have strange creatures who infect people (Kabane/Oni) Both have a character who is infected but can control it Awesome animation and OST On both anime, one of the main goals is to find a cure for the infectees Good battle scenes Both stories are set in the past (KnK during the industrial revolution, KnY during Taisho era) 

Both have similarly bloody action scenes and use the supernatural.  

Both of these anime take place in worlds where the inhabitants are faced with fighting monsters everyday in order to survive. I think that aspect makes both of shows more interesting because you never know who will die or who will live. However, both anime are more than what you may see at a surface level and unravels as the show progresses. 

thts meaning the genre almost same,.... Nagano Kei in anime AJIN is not a human......maybe seems like a immortal human, just like Ikoma(The main character in Koutetsujou no Kabaneri), he is half human half kabane(Kabaneri). Both of the main character has a special power, and they'r've a supporter character tht always help them...... This anime is vr awesome, cool, etc 

If you're looking for an anime to watch waiting for attack on titan's final season, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri is a great choice. The two anime are really similar, both worlds are in a world where humans are on the brink of extinction.
