Heat Guy J

When i first started Heat Guy J i immediately thought of my friend who really likes Gungrave. I thought he would really enjoy Heat Guy. Heat guy deals with crime and cops, which is kinda similar to Gungrave, but its the action, gun-play, and sci-fi elements that feel the same. Either way, you'll enjoy heat guy and gungrave for the action. Also the dubs are pretty good in heat guy.  

Both are about police forces in a futuristic setting, utilizing the things they are protecting against to perform that protection. In Heat guy J's case, it's an android, and in Psycho-Pass's case, it's people with a high criminality rating. Both police forces also hope to prevent crime before it happens, but never really manage it. 

Similar protagonists and both of them have partners that are 7 feet tall...Same kind of atmosphere....etc. 

Basically both are fusions of cyberpunk and police drama with lots of guns and action though Ghost in the Shell is more philosophical.  

Most of the Cast are the same,dubbed, HeatGuy mecha- more of androids, Eureka Seven mecha- more like LFOs (similar to gundam)  

Mixed "James Bond" and "The Persuaders" in a world like our to be mistaken, this small series lets look at one treats both for its atmosphere than the charisma of its characters. Want to have a good time asked, sit back and let yourself be. Police - Investigation - duo - technology. 

A completely different setting - but both shows have very similar 'pointy', shojo-esque character designs and the soundtracks are very similar too. If you liked the wistful tones of Escaflowne, but want to see a more contemporary, urban take on it, Heat Guy J is worth checking out. 

In both a young man with a partner works for a small agency to fighter against a force...Gastreas in black bullet and the mafia in Heat guy J. They're both Sci-fi. 

Is a sci-fi anime. Instead of cyborgs there are Contractors. Has a lot of action, but still a awesome mystery type story. 

Not only do Baccano! and Heat Guy J have nearly identical Japanese voice casts, the two shows share many of the same themes: showing groups of eccentric characters (often criminals, and especially the mob) living their lives, all while backed up by a quirky soundtrack and very snappy dialogue. Both shows having psycho males named Clair(e) is a plus.... 

After watching Heatguy J for a while, the anime is made up of standalone episodes but each episode has a basic theme people care learn from watching every episode. I think HeatGuy J is more related to Kino's Journey then Ghost in the shell is... 

I should be clear that not much can hold a flame to the action in Black Lagoon, and i would have to say that Heat Guy is no exception. But heat guy is fun to watch if you enjoyed the gun play and action in Black Lagoon. Enjoy. 

Both HeatGuy J and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is set in futuristic cities full of advanced technology and how this affects the people who live there. They also have many similarities in terms of animation, with both featuring an integration CG and 2D animation quite often. Both feature disconnected stories of crime and corruption and the people whose job it is to do something about it. 

Both detective-like stories in technologically advanced cities with a lot of crime. And of course - loads of action and sci-fi fights. 

The first 10 episodes are extremely similar to Heat Guy J. * The main in a bounty hunter working for a cute woman who is the owner of her own business. * Has a robotic sidekick. * Mafia people try to mess things up * Underground city with people being mistreated living there. * Amazing plot and great direction. * Great soundtracks. Give them both a try.  

Both are buddy cop stories with some awkward CG effects, but those problems are more than made up for with great characters. 

Director Kazuki Akane seems to have a pool of themes (and a pool of voice actors) he enjoys returning to, except he puts a slightly different spin on the themes each time they crop up. Birdy and HGJ had similar feels from the start: both featured an eccentric pair trying to track down criminals and bring them to justice, and the style of the dialogue felt similar as well, due to longtime Akane collaborator Hiroshi Ohnogi working on the scripts. In the second season of Birdy, however, the similarities multiplied -- voice actors were even brought back from HGJ to play similar roles on Birdy. While both shows stand perfectly well on their own, it's interesting to see the same themes explored in different fashions on both. Fans of the style of one show should get a kick out of seeing a similar style in the other show, especially as it's a feel not often replicated in anime: what matters most in an Akane show is what ISN'T said, and both HGJ and Birdy are excellent examples of this. read more
