Highschool of the Dead

Hellsing Ultimate addpermalink

Both don't have a serious story and is all about the badass characters and the gory action, both have zombies in them, both have bad ass weapon specialist. HOTD has ecchi and Hellsing Ultimate has those cartoon comedy moments. Both are high quality animation Madhouse production.

Deadman Wonderland addpermalink

The protagonists and their friends are isolated from society (or a lack of), and they must fight for their survival. Both are gory in nature and features heated fight scenes.

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri addpermalink

Both anime have pretty much of the same feeling as a survival with a group of people except Kanbaneri is more about survival with a group of cowardly people with only a few strong whereas Highschool's group of characters are all strong and gets stronger each episode. Both anime may take place in a different time period but the basic idea is fighting the undead, people get bit and come back to attack humans. The amount of gore and nudity is about the same but Highschool is more ecchi, after all, it is about a bunch of teenagers.

Sankarea addpermalink

Both are zombie animes,other than that these two are completley different.Sankerea is about trying to prolong a zombie girls life while Highschool of the Dead is just about escaping from the zombie infestation.But you dont find many zombie animes so if your a zombie fan like me you'll enjoy both.

Anime: Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto

Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto addpermalink

Both of these shows are all about the zombies! Not much else to say. Each of their protagonists are unhappy with their lives until an outbreak of zombies changes everything. The highlight of both of these shows is how the ensemble of characters get together in order to face this new world order and face many tribulations. Regardless, there are many laughs to be expected from both of these stories.

Elfen Lied addpermalink

Both of these take a serious premise, like zombies or mutants, and then throw in an incredibly unnecessary level of fanservice.

Black Lagoon addpermalink

Both have a lot of gore and violence. Granted, no zombies and its way less ecchi, but they basically have the same core character plot. Highschool has zombies and Black Lagoon is darker with the romance.

Shiki addpermalink

In both animes everything was peaceful, until suddenly people start turning into monsters, zombies in High School of the Dead and vampires in Shiki. Both anime contains an atmosphere of horror and mystery. If you want an anime with blood and slaughter, both are recommended.

Akame ga Kill! addpermalink

Similar MC
Saeko Busujima < Akame
Takashi "Taka" Komuro < Tatsumi

Both are in a group that's all about eliminating the evil and surviving.
Both live in a world where the ruled by the evil.

Differences: Akame ga Kill's Night Raides group has more members. Akame ga Kill is fantasy and medieval while HoTD is more realistic and in the current time. HoTD is very ecchi. 

The differences are HUGE, but both have kind of the same feel.

Black Bullet addpermalink

Both are set in post-apocalyptic worlds ravaged by infection spreading monsters (Gastrea in "Black Bullet", "Them" in "Highschool of the Dead") and focus on a group who work together in order to survive and combat the threat. The main characters are also quite similar:

Rentaro=Takashi===> Both are generally nice guys whose actions tend to be very pragmatic, and can fight both physically and with a gun.

Enju=Rei===> Both are the kindest of their groups who show sympathy even for the infected beings, and tend to call out the others for their more ruthless actions.

Kisara=Saeko===> Both are beautiful, highly-skilled swordswomen with a very violent and unstable side.

I prefer "Black Bullet", as it has a slightly better story, much better animation and more likable characters. read more

Kill la Kill addpermalink

Both have a lot of fan service. Both have a girl who is out for revenge against an authority figure. Both try to overdose on comedy. Lots of perverted, and cheesy jokes. The action scenes are pretty good, but sometimes either overdoes is or under does the action.

Mirai Nikki (TV) addpermalink

Action, Supernatural, Thriller/Horror, Both anime contains the same genres, Both are a little bit brutal, (Even though on High School Of The Dead they killed zombies? Is that called a brutal?) No wonder, There are some blood shed, Action, Fighting, And I've seen some zombies in Mirai Nikki, Isn't that called a zombie? Or err, Just similar to zombie would be fine, One more thing, Both shows contains Mild Nudity. High School of the dead shows some porn? Or what, Just what they mean "Ecchi" And about the Mirai Nikki, I think less than?

Seikon no Qwaser addpermalink

Boobs, action, and countless Crowning Moments of Awesome. A lot of the main chars are comparable: Sasha= Komura, Mafuyu= Rei, Teresa= Saeko, Ekatrina= Saya, Tomo=Shizuka, etc. Both have really good (And similar) art and were made recently. SnQ is more fantasy themed though, while HOtD is slightly more realisic.

Both have next to no plot development until the last two episodes, and both also are only held together by an incredibly epic fatty that serves as comic relief.
