Yuukoku no Moriarty

A battle of brains between two very smart characters. We see things from both sides, and are able to understand their way of thinking. They both focus on human inequality and injustice, good and evil, and the value of human life.  

These anime have plenty of bishounen and fascinating relationships between the male leads that are sealed in blood. They are about genius-level lead characters who have faced trauma as children. The time period is set in Victorian England for both. They are both dark mystery-solving dramas. If you like one, you are sure to like the other!  

if you enjoyed watching bungo stray dogs,you're most likely to enjoy moriarty the patriot as well. or if you enjoy detective stories in general. whether you are a sherlock holmes fan or not,moriarty the patriot is a fun watch, for sure.  

While these shows are very different genres, one thing in common is the approach of the story as both protagonists are antiheroes willing to do whatever it takes to reform the corrupt world they live in, and are committing crimes left and right in order to make that happen. Both Moriarty and Lelouch happen to be nobles who are fed up with the injustices of society and thus, aim to change society using unethical methods.  

- Similar Victorian-era setting; Vanitas has more steampunk elements - Both have a very strong male and male main leads and their bonds are very strong - Solving mysteries together - Animation and color palette - Whole story really unravels at the end - Has a MC that has a martyr mentality 

Very similar characters, overall idea and feel to it.  

Both explore the darkness of human nature and if there is anything redeemable in humanity. Psychological thriller? Check! Evil Genius? Check! Character designs are very similar, especially the anti-hero/villain (one of the manga spin-offs shares an artist). If you like to see both lawful and chaotic evil at work, you definitely want to check it out! 

Both are very much rooted in history, though Moriarty is slightly more far fetched. They have very immersive worlds that bring you to the era their stories take place in. Very good artwork, particularly the use of color. They also both have good soundtracks that fit the era and the mood, though Moriarty's often feels a bit more "modern" and imagined. If you want a good character drama that shows events from multiple perspectives, give these a try. 

- Both stories revolve around two male protagonists - They attempt to solve their clients' Requests - Each episode tend to revolve around different problems requested by the client  

Both are set in historical Europe and just feel similar. Both have morally complex characters, detectives, action and a mature vibe.  

Orphans threatens a nation in order to make themselves heard. They have different reasons. The Moriarty brothers want equity in England, whereas Nine and Twelve want the Athena Project (an experiment they were subjects in) to be exposed. 

Both deal heavily with the imbalance of a class-based society. They have very engaging and immersive worlds that make you feel as though you are there. They capture the essence of their era's well. While their stories may be quite different, there's something about the characters that are quite similar. Especially Johan and Moriarty, though Moriarty has more tangible goals and Johan is considerably more twisted. 

Tired of dumb protagonists with million layers of plot armor save the world every time in anime? In Munou no Nana and Yuukoku no Moriarty we see the such anime from the perspective of the "bad guys" as the murder such characters. In both anime the killers are very intelligent and in both anime there is a smart detective that tries to catch the killer, so expect a lot of mind battles in both anime. Moriarty kills aristocrats, while Nana murders boring shounen protaganonists; the anime world is better of without those kind of characters anyway so I kinda enjoy seeing them die every episode (I dont condone killing irl btw). The main difference is that Nana has a Japanese school setting while Moriarty has an English historical one. read more 

Both revolve around mystery and murder and have detectives that solve crimes with their partners. 

These are two very different takes on the Sherlock Holmes universe, but they also have lots of obvious similarities. Kabukichou takes place in modern day japan, and is quite different from the more traditional Holmes story that Moriarty tells. Kabukichou feels more goofy, more distinct from other reimaginings, and very much it's own thing in a Sherlock skin. Moriarty is based in London and feels very similar to classic Holmes, but the twist here is that we are primarily seeing things from the other side. They both feature the detective work one would expect, though they go about things differently. Their takes on the characters are also quite different, but they do have the same expected characteristics, such as being eccentric about their case-solving methods. They are both a fun watch if you want an entertaining mystery. read more 

If you like the mystery of Yuukoku no Moriarty, you're gonna love Detective Conan. Has a similar feel although, with Moriarty, it's from a more antagonistic viewpoint whereas Conan is from a protagonistic viewpoint. 

They have very similar vibe, similar setup and motives regarding crime, detectives and mystery. 

-both are focused on the assassination of nobles that are doing evil deeds -both MC's are big brains 

Elegant smart man do elegant smart shady things. Both don't have much of a backstory and don't really focus on character development, so you get to see what characters do, guess what they feel (if you want) and enjoy how perfectly they deliver justice.  

- Anime adaptation of classic English literature (Shakespeare vs Sherlock) - Dark shoujo revamp featuring bishounen characters  

In the two animes we follow the adventures of a protagonist considered to be "evil". In Yuukoku no Moriarty our main character is a criminal and Tanya from youjo senki can do everything to achieve her goals. But throughout the anime there mentality is explained so well that you are forced to reassess your previous judgement. Both of the MCs are fighting against powerful entities thanks to their above average intellect : god in Youjo senki and the nobility in Yuukoku no Moriarty. But what’s the most enjoyable in those show is the attention to details just on example out of many: -Blue eyes for Holmes vs the Red eyes of Moriarty -Tanya’s eyes turning to a golden colour (colour of glory divinity) when she is praying As a conclusion they’re both masterpieces that deserves to be watched  read more 

Both of them take place almost in the same time period (Gosick: 1924, Yuukoku no Moriarty: 1893) and they are both mystery, historical, crime-solving series that also portray the noble's cruelty 

This seasonal has the same type of effects in tone and suspense that Death Parade gave you. Very great show 

Although the two have a substantial difference when it comes to the plot, they are however similar when it comes to the premises that these can offer. To simply put, these shows have the ability to raise awareness especially to the different perceptions and moralities in life. Meaning, having to watch any of the two will lead to the same realization. If you want to know what it is then why don't you give it a try? Additionally, both have the same atmosphere, humor, and ambiance. They are both dark in nature and are entertaining to watch mainly for those who enjoy a gloomy and sinister outlook in the things that they may watch. read more 

-Both start off seemingly innocent until certain events unravel to reveal a more sinister atmosphere -Amazing writing & directing that really sucks you into their world (not counting sequels btw) -Very deep Mystery/Thriller vibes while still being shounen -Both have canonically high IQ MC's -MC's were badass when they were kids -Very strong sibling bonds; siblings who form a group after going through trauma together, & then stick together like it's them against the world -Main cast wants to reform the cruel unfair world they live in for the better, after they experience trauma -Main characters go through suffering & hardships & have to make very hard sacrifices in their life -Themes of oppression/prejudice/discrimination just because of who you are -BANGER OPENINGS -TPN's OP & MTP's ED have the same upbeat/electric banger vibes -Both groups of MC's have someone chasing after them who's seemingly on the same level of intellect as them so you never know who'll win -Neither one takes place in modern day (TPN-Future/MTP-Past) -You never know who you can trust in either one & there are people who aren't as they seem -STUNNING and very clean animation & visuals -Very VERY atmospheric -Fast-paced - never boring - no filler bs - each ep has something major to contribute to the plot -As the episodes go on, the plot thickens -Both have UNFORGETTABLE OST's that play at just the right time & give you absolute CHILLS -1st episodes that basically establish the premise & absolutely hook you in read more 

-They both have a very strong mystery element, with strong thriller vibes -Both shows are very psychological and really make you think, and question things you thought you knew & who you trust -Both have an almost cat & mouse game going on where the good guy tries to catch the bad guy, but the bad guy is always one step ahead - but it's executed in a very intriguing way that always keeps the viewer on their toes -Both have amazing plot twists -Both have legendary banger OPs/EDs -Both have character motives that use Litterature/Philosophical references -Good cast of loveable side characters (more-so Moriarty's) -Fast paste, never boring episodes that are well executed & keep you on the edge of your seat in excitement/suspense read more 

watch the other jojos first but its very crime oriented both protagonists want to make a better world both kill "corrupted" people in their respective societies both do crime to end the crime 

the crime/mystery storyline is also entertaining to watch 

They both have an mc that is kinda twisted... even though yuuichi is no where as good as William but yes I really think it's a good to watch both of them 

well both are super underrated anime . but both are murder mystry kind of anime . 

Feel like the ending for Moriarty will be similar to the novel ending of Sabikui Bisco. Characters have similar personalities and similar witty dynamic going on.  

Similar dynamics and themes as well as switched character designs. The save me/catch me if you can/ I gave you my word theme 

similar to the idea perhaps, but with superpowers. 

So William James Moriarty is a criminal genus, and Aslan Jade Callenreese (Ash Lynx) is a gang leader who happens to be a genus. But they're both blond, genus criminals and they both have a friend from a different walk of life. Both series make commentary on classism, and they are both inspired by classic literature. 

Super similar vibes with the anti-heroic like main characters in both and a tense dynamic between the two leads that is constantly shifting. I think if you enjoyed one, you'd find something to enjoy in the other. Moriarty is more developed imo, but Zettai Karen Children is still worth the watch 

Both are episodic with similar plot structure: Getting vengeance on a terrible person. 

Director, spirit of the show, characters, era. 

If you liked Moriarty the Patriot's story structure (a team of pretty boys taking on missions with the ultimate goal being to change the world), then you'll love Gundam 00. It's got crazy strategies for the boys to pull off, nail-biting action scenes, a larger cast of fun characters, and just a smidge of homoeroticism. The mecha might put some people off, but the robots are integral in getting the guys to struggle and grow as characters, which is absolutely the fun part. (Also, like, look at Albert. Now look at Lockon. They could be twins.) (No you don't need to watch any other Gundam shows to get into Gundam 00.) read more 

These two have very similar moods and settings, despite the differences in world lore and story. They are set in very Victorian/Gothic cities with a nearly steampunk feel to it (without the fancy gadgets though). They are full of edgy characters, drama, confrontations, and two sides that are both somewhat sympathetic from a viewer perspective. They cover some similar themes of morality and revenge. If you watched one and are craving that slightly goofy dark Victorian drama, the other might just scratch that itch. Just bear in mind that Sirius is largely about supernatural races, Moriarty is certainly not.  

Both prominently feature curruption and exploitation by nobility. Pumpkin Scissors is set after WW1. It follows a noble, idealistic girl Alice and her small troop set on correcting the world's injustice, to varying effects. The corruption in this series generally runs so deep it's hard to make real progress, tho it is made. The show is only somewhat negative toward the nobility. Moriarty is set in late victorian Britain, and follows an anti-protagonist set on correcting his country's intermal discrimination enabled by class and feudal relations. He's much more effective and morally grey than Alice, helping people commit crimes of vengeance to get rid of privileged scum. This show endeavors to really profoundly sully privileged nobility, showing most of the episodic "targets" as discriminating filth, absolutely disgusted by lower classes. read more 

- Moriarty and Yaichi have a lot in common. They were both mistreated after being born by their parents. They both have developed a disliking towards the posh class of the society. And they deal in "playing Robinhood", that is harassing the higher class but bad people. - Slight (or heavy? Depends on the viewer) gay baits. * Saraiya Goyou is much more relaxing and slower paced.  

Both anime involves group of people that try to serve the justice with their own way and targetting the corrupt leader. Both group are also viewed as the "bad guy". They also have enemies which are the detective and police that try to chase and catch them. 

The main character, Sherlock, as well as his assistant, Watson, are tasked with investigating murders. Sherlock is tasked with using his wit, knowledge, and skills at finding the culprit to these murders. Conversely, Moriarty is another main character who uses his support to bring judgement down on the corrupted. 

Both series incorporate historically-based settings and clothing, although Moriarty is actually set in a historical period whereas El-Melloi II isn't. The plot of both revolve around upper class characters solving mysteries and both of the main characters are occupationally teachers who uptook "unofficial" nobility positions. 

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 deals with his adulthood, Moriarty's deals with his childhood; it's a nice contrast. Both also deal with criminal cases on an arc-by-arc basis, and all the setup these arcs build converge in the end to make a battle of wits wherein the protagonists meet their match. Their ultimate enemies represent a perversion of the justice system. In Id:Invaded, this ending neatly wraps up the show, but in YnM, it prepares us for another season. read more 

Both these shows feature nobles (as the bad guys) and servants/lower class (as the mistreated). The artwork is dark and the intro in Moriarty, ending-song in Shadows House give off similar vibes. While shadows house has a far lighter theme, it has a creepy feeling to it. In either series there is some sort of mystery to be solved, with Moriarty having more day-to-day cases and shadows house one throughout. 

Both are a reinterpretation of Sherlock Holmes
