Saraiya Goyou

Same animation director and team worked on both and they both happen in Samurai era with Ronins as their protagonists.  

Saraiya Goyou or House of Five Leaves has a very similar atmosphere and setting to Samurai Champloo. Both are about life in the Edo period of Japan and have a unique art style. Saraiya Goyou reminds me of the dramatic storylines of Samurai Champloo. While Champloo has more comedic moments and modern music, Saraiya Goyou is much more muted and simplistic. If you enjoyed some of the quieter moments of Champloo, then you will enjoy Saraiya Goyou as well.  

Very similar settings, though Samurai Champloo is obviously a bit more far-fetched. These are two samurai shows that have vastly different goals but surprisingly similar stories, just told in different ways. They both do an excellent job fleshing out the world and time period. The art is very captivating in both, and the character designs are memorable. I feel as though House of Five leaves is often forgotten when people think of samurai series, perhaps because of it's slower pace and more slice of life elements. But I can't help but be reminded of one of these when I watch the other. 

Samurai samurai samuraaii :D They're both historical and about samurai, a must watch for both. :D 

Same genre (historical/adventure) and content (life of samurai). Saraiya Goyou is similarly dreamy, and emotive. Samurai Champloo is noted for style, irreverence, and blunt surrealism (beatboxing in historical Japan?). On the other hand, House of Five Leaves as a historical samurai series is more true to form. Also, it is inarguably more sophisticated. In my opinion, House of Five Leaves is better, but both are great series.  

Both of the anime gives off the same vibes. Similarities: -Includes a soft-hearted but strong samurai as a protagonist. -Takes place on Edo Period & gives a proper demonstration of that time's lifestyle. -Story gets unfolded in a dark tone while taking place in a crime ridden atmosphere. -Rich storyline with good pace which progresses through well narrated events. -The stories tend to be realistic and grounded rather than going over the top and yelling about justice or greatness. -The characters carry the same kind of mysterious aura around themselves and almost all of the main cast are pretty well written characters who are trying to maintain the balance between their past and present life in their own way. read more 

First, both were made by manglobe, a very good studio (that will never create masterpieces again ;-;). Both are set in Edo period. They both depict characters that are complicated to understand, and that struggle understanding each other as well. Those characters all have interesting backgrounds to discover. 

The ambiance of both the shows is quite similar. The direction is spectacular in both the shows - more so in the case of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinju than Saraiya Goyou. The pacing, the overall feel of both the shows is quite soothing and comparable. 

Both are similar in its atmosphere, the way that the characters interact with each other, and its historical setting is mostly the same. If you liked Showa Genroku and want to look a show with a similar feeling, be sure to check out Saraiya Gorou, and vice versa. 

Narrative-wise, these titles share very little in common, however, when it comes to exploring the spaces between character relationships and seeing how well-developed personalities interact with each other; these titles can be seen as companion pieces. The similar meditative atmosphere and traditionalist-like world design also lends itself well to making the experience feel closely connected. Both have a subdued but palatable way of presenting its world and characters. A strong moral fiber that makes the individuals presented to feel realistic in comparison to most works being produced today. Very theatrical in the way stage plays tend to be. Both were worked on by key animator, Mieko Hosoi. If you like one there's a strong possibility you'll like the other.  read more 

Both shows deal with historical and mature themes and are similar in exposition. They both introduce an enigmatic character whose character and past are gradually uncovered as the plot unfolds. Both are not presented in the conventional linear manner which makes both shows distinct and interesting. In both shows, the main characters are involved in a particular activity which is an essential element to the story and provides and great setting – in Rakugo Shinju, it’s rakugo while in Saraiya Gouyou, it is kidnap for ransom. The characters on both shows are refreshingly real as they break away from the common character mold. If you are looking for something different, I recommend both.  read more 

Mature character driven dramas. Characters are haunted by their past relations, mistakes, and crimes. Melancholy mood. 

A backdrop rich in Japanese history and culture brings these atmospheric stories to life. With two male leads who act as foils for each other, these anime center around complex friendships and relationships that drive whatever plot or growth the characters experience. 

Some of the best human drama presented in exquisite manner. There s seldom an outburst of emotion but the dialogue and the imagery brings it home skillfully.  

Slow pacing, inner warmth, similar time-period and art. Both are stories able to put a smile on your face as they end, there's something sweet about them. 

There is a relaxed feel to both anime. Good for a rainy day when the pace will not bore you to death. At times it can seem a bit dark and sad, but at the same time, it's light hearted and doesn't sadden you too much. You'll enjoy one if you like the other, when you're in the right kind of mood to watch it ;) 

Both have peaceful atmospheric episodes. Gives you the same feel as the other. 

These shows both have very slow but methodical pacing. They pull you into the world and keep you there. The art is subtle but intentional, and the characters, while often plain and ordinary, are so believable and wonderfully written. Mushishi is obviously a supernatural story, whereas House of Five Leaves is very much a realistic story, but both give off a similar feel. If you want something that will slowly captivate you and reward your patience, you can't go wrong with either of these. 

There's a similar sense of feeling and backgrounds in both series. Mushishi and Saraiya Goyou (House of the Five Leaves) both has a slow pacing with a elegant mood to them. Both series follows a more episodic path rather than arcs/linear story. Both series' main male protagonist has great development and interactions with other characters and also bears some similar physical features. The coloring in both series is also natural and again has that elegance to them. Both series presents a mature way of nature. 

Mushishi and Saraiya Goyou are slow-moving dramas that touch more on the day to day sentiments of diverse people, rather than the power-levels of a prepubescent teen attempting to save the world. The same soothing and heartwarming atmosphere can be found in both, as well as the attention to detail in the art that makes the viewing experience such a joy.  

Both series are from the same author so they somehow have the same feels even though the theme are different Both show are slow and relaxing. And the story moves on the characters's dialogues and behaviour Both have food shoots and people relaxing, it's especially heavy in ACCA ACCA: Plus: - the story is being set in a contemporary world - the art is very colorful and pleasing to the eyes - full adapation - great OSTs Con: - terrible pace, it's running too fast Goyou: Pros: - the background and the colors are beautiful - the pace is perfect, it totally dwells the viewers into the relaxing mood and atmosphere of the story Cons: - the character design might be unappealing for some people - not full adaptation  read more 

These two anime have their stories and design both from a same original author, Natsume Ono. Therefore the character's personality are giving a somehow similar vibe. But the two stories are set in totally different era and world. Saraiya goyou is the Edo, Samurai sort of stories. If you enjoy character that are mysterious, I would definitely recommend this 'Saraiya Goyou' / 'House of Five Leaves' to you. 

Both "ACCA-13" and "Saraiya Goyou" are cool and mature shows in that they feature zero fan-service, zero character tropes and zero anime cliches. The characters from both shows have this aura of composure and levelheadedness that is almost ethereal. Whilst "ACCA-13" is a unique political thriller based in an exotic setting, "Saraiya Goyou" is a Japanese period drama (set in the samurai-era) about two men, forsaken by society, who help each other fight their inner demons and find purpose in life.  

Saraiya Goyou and Natsume are different anime with different plots, but the they have both an elegant delicate feeling to it, with touching plot points. Both main characters' main feature is kindness to others.  

These series are both very good at captivating you into their worlds. They are slow, methodical, and great at world-building. The main characters are rather soft spoken, logical, slow to act, but honest. They are very enjoyable to watch, and seeing them get out of tricky situations is always enjoyable. If you want a relaxing slice of life sprinkled with a bit of action and darker tones, then either of these should be enjoyable. 

The two are a mature character driven story examining wavering moralities. Both anime employs a handful of characters to tell its story and spends its time fleshing out only a few of them. Its character focus rests primarily on the characterization and relationships of the MC and his supporting cast. Watching Onihei or Five Leaves for action would be a mistake, that doesn’t mean that both shows don’t have action scenes they have them here and there. Perhaps viewers can immerse in the atmosphere of a period piece slice-of-life. The characters are most often relaxed, lounging about, slowly smoking pipes, and speaking in easy monotones. The lazy mood is supported by soothing, period appropriate music and understated but gorgeous scenery. I would say that people that enjoy shows with relaxed and steady pacing would find Saraiya Goyou’s & Onihei leisurely progression and calm atmosphere to their liking.  read more 

Samurai-centered series set in Edo that have a cozy period atmosphere. Both are more preoccupied with characters and interactions, and the themes of sympathy towards criminals are present in both series. I would be very surprised if you liked one and disliked the other. 

Both are about a ronin who undertakes to protect a person with mysterious past and finds himself involved in a dangerous situation. 

Both present very tranquil moods and lovely naturalist imagery. They're both paced rather slowly, each one utilizing its atmosphere to tell its story. Bonus: both feature a cool, sly guy character with white hair and piercing green eyes. 

It both revolves around a "master and pupil" relationship and both the main characters are samurai that evolve and learn to care for the world, however bad it may be. Both of these shows really bring out what a samurai is and what they do, which other "samurai" anime fail to do, which makes these anime's really good and unique and makes both of these shows good in that sense. 

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. 

Similar setting - a group of outlaws that do odd jobs, main characters trying to forget their past, and the main story is moving at a slow pace. 

In these historical narratives, a samurai gets involved with a gang of diverse characters via their mysterious leader. Everyone has their past and reason for taking up the illicit business, and Saraiyo Goyou chooses to highlight that facet of the story. Meanwhile, Revenger adds some action and plot twists into the mix, resulting in a less touching yet more story-driven product.
