Identical tech, worlds, themes Also similar antagonists who “break the system” being undetectable to their way of finding criminals Crime Coefficient = Intent to Kill Enforcers = Mizuhanome Pilots Dominators = Wakumusubi List goes on. They are near identical shows!

Both being mystery focused as well as also using a certain piece of technology to solve crimes as well too.

Hunt for the serial killer. Id:Invaded and Erased both give Sakaido and Satoru respectively a task in which they both have to find a serial killer. Though Id:Invaded is much more psychological, with multiple different mysteries to solve, doing so by jumping into different criminals Ids. Erased is a darker mystery with one solve case which leads to the serial killer as the end target, for the hope of saving classmate Kayo from her death. Despite differences, both anime have an end goal which leads to the target masterminds of serial killers. Id:Invaded is a perplexing bundle of mysteries in which the great detective Sakaido must  read more

The events are running in a world of advanced technology, criminals are psychopath , both shows focus more on the moral side of society and the meaning of justice rather than revealing the criminal, Main character has an obsession of revenge

both trippy anime about a person diving into a different world that directly effects the real world and trying to save the people related to the respective "cases" (or witches in 18if)

Both are mystery themed series focus on taking down serial killers and figuring out what really was the true cause of events to unfold. 
report Recommended by Disapeared_Ghost
Both shows are inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Both are really good murder mystery stories. Both main characters think meticulously to solve the case. 
report Recommended by Bunille
Both are tightly woven stories with a similar tone: somber yet hopeful, plus the thriller and mystery elements throughout. Both stories that blend the darker sides of reality with brighter spots of hope, depicting the moral grayness of good people who have done not-good things. They're both shows that reveal themselves piece by piece in all the small details, making you question what you're watching (in the good way) until you get to the end and go, oh, wow, that was beautiful. If the tone or overall feeling of one resonates with you, give the other a try.

Spoiler-Free reasons: -A badass highly perceptive MC -The "escape-room" feeling every episode -The well-written relation between Maths/Physics with cases -The inevitable danger that scales with episode count in both series -More highly competent main characters the further this gets Differences: -ID:Invaded is much much darker, for more mature audiences as it has violence / even gore at some points / real Psychological tag. Spoiler Warning similarities: -The more this goes on, the darker it gets -An "antagonist" that has to work with MC later on

Both shows feature a police/detective cast with beautiful and at times trippy settings, as well as sci-fi surrealistic plots. Both shows keep pace and keep you fully immersed in the mystery.

Detectives working separate cases realize that certain mysteries are related, leading to a deeper darker conspiracy. Police-work is aided by high-tech.

If you're fond of delving deep into the psyche and into society's shrouded nature, of the air of mystery where you the viewer can contribute to solving the mystery, and of staying alert through a fast-paced narrative that feels comfortable, detailed, and mentally stimulating - then shinsekai yori is for you. The dreamlike atmosphere of id invaded where the audience is aware we're witnessing the metaphysical, and the ability to explore the metaphysical in a world where metaphors come alive, are manifested in both animes brilliantly and unique to each other's morals. a must watch really.

Digital realm. The digital world may probably have as much influence on real life, as real life does on itself. It is because of that, that threats or benefits to the digital realm must be dealt with accordingly in order to maintain suitability or pursue a more convenient route. Summer Wars and Id:Invaded understands this concept very well. Summer Wars does this with a global socioeconomic platform being under attack due to a hacking scandal, whilst Id:Invaded does this with a mechanism that allows for detectives to jump into the mind of criminals to solve cases. What really connects the two is that the digital world  read more

Both series focus on a critical mystery, have an older-than-average male protagonist whose strong cynical or apathetic streaks hide a person who still wishes to do good, and have a high concept aspect in their plots (diving into memories for Invaded, anthro noir for Odd Taxi). 
report Recommended by RiverSorcerer
Fun mystery shows that deal with fictional universes in different time periods than ours. Both of their protagonists are older male anti-heroes that kill the criminals they encounter with the help of their acquaintances in high places. They have to reveal the despicable crimes of the people they investigate by exploiting human psychology, just in different ways. Their backstories are heavily linked to their motivations, and there's an air of intrigue about them before their pasts are shown to the audience. However, Id:Invaded reveals the backstory of its protagonist later on, while Yuukoku no Moriarty does it in the second episode, and while Sakaido's backstory  read more

i herd u liek serial killers, so i put serial killers in ur anime Do you like serial killers? Did you wish that your local crime/mystery/suspense anime had more of them? Have you ever wished to follow the exploits of teams of serial killers (and pseudo-serial killers) as they go against other serial killers? If so, then I have two shows for you! Both Angels of Death and ID:Invaded are speculative and somewhat surrealist shows about these mass murderers, pitting the more heroic ones against their villainous counterparts as the former attempt to solve the curious plot at hand.

Thrilling; psychological. Both have wonderful effects, soundtracks (mostly the insert songs for ID) Character development in both are great. 
report Recommended by Boki-Kun
Both feature themes of mystery solving and the reasoning behind those who commit crimes, in gosick they look for the motive while in id:invade they look for the psychological cause behind the actions. Gosick has them investigating crimes and we see this in id:invaded too but they use a virtual landscape instead. Both are good if you enjoy mystery and suspense.

I can't quite put my finger on why, but the entire time I watched Id:Invaded, it reminded me a lot of Trickster. It's difficult to describe, but they just have a similar "feel" to them, not to mention the fact that both are about detectives and mysteries.

Both are mystery anime with science-fiction elements that focus on future societies utilizing augmented reality, mysterious figures, and a shadowy government that overlooks all of the characters. 
report Recommended by RiverSorcerer
On the surface, these two are completely different in terms of genre and purpose. But when I started Id:Invaded, I just couldn't help be reminded of the initial chaos and randomness that Kyousougiga exuded and the similar fresh and mysterious atmosphere. It also helps that I thoroughly enjoyed both, not only in terms of the plot itself, but also in the amazing animation, directing, and ost. Seriously. both ost and insert songs fit the anime of both so well that it enhances the experience as a whole. Also, while more prominent in Kyousougiga, there is an underlying theme of family which was a welcoming surprise  read more

They both have the same vibe in a sense of a mystery puzzle. As mentioned in the anime(I think it was mentioned), they feed you information that is not useful alone, where you'll need to collect each piece to understand said Mystery. And the Problem here? It is that they fed you pieces of information, but the core detail is always before the end of the confrontation with the Main Mastermind.

recommendation is directed at the zero escape game as well; not just the ova! both are trippy in a way that both are trying to solve murders and situations in very different environments (zero escape having different endings with connection & id invaded having the different minds of people) and both have an escape room-esque vibe with the zero escape games having actual escape rooms, while id:invaded has the different consciousnesses also side note; uchikoshi's other game series, ai: the somnium files, also picks up the whole "jumping into someone's mind to solve a murder / series of murders" concept 
report Recommended by Sayaznk
Both shows explore specific sci-fi concepts to tell mystery-thiller stories involving police work to solve a variety of cases supported by tightly written dense scripts and screenplay. (this obviously also heavily includes 2nd GIG as a recommendation)  
report Recommended by JudoJD
Both series have sci-fi technology that helps the police solve mysteries through diving into minds/memories, which has immense consequences for the investigators and the world around them.  
report Recommended by Ph0esz
- Complex and fast paced overall plot that doesn't spoon feed information to viewers. - Gets confusing quick because things don't make sense at the beginning, so you have to invest in the episodes to understand (I promise it'll all come together at the end!) - Probably requires a second watch to catch all the details. - Both are mystery/psychological with an inception vibe since tangential plots are always overlapping. - Male MC who is tasked to basically figure everything out and solve the issues.

Both are about detective solving murder cases with some crazy situations, mad criminals with crazy ideals. 
report Recommended by Gamushin
Stories revolve around an adult male father who is trying to find out the mystery behind their family's deaths while trying to enact revenge. They also have a good bit of sci-fi aspects in both stories.

ID: Invaded is what you get when you mix FliFla and a police procedure show into a blender. Starts of episodic with creative weird dives into the subconscious before starting to focus on a final story arc.

They both center around trying to solve something, but in this show they solve paranormal things.
