Imagine Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu without "magical eyes", JRPG designs, ideas like "the one who yells louder wins", tsundere women and stupid idealism (hi Sion). You with me so far? Now, imagine Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu where there are dozens of great warriors like Ryner on both sides, where political intrigues, plots and schemes are far from uncommon. Imagine battles of epic proportions and war on the medieval fantasy world, where winning side is decided only by commanders intelligence, number of troops, their morale and available resources, not superpowers like Alpha Stigma. Do this and you've invented Berserk.

With Mirai Nikki, Sakae Esuno tried to make an unintentionally hilarious series with some of the most absurd and ridiculously over-the-top bullshit you'll ever see in any work of fiction, however he wasn't quite experienced on the so-bad-it's-good department yet, thus Mirai Nikki ended up being just plain awful. However, with Big Order, the guy finally got his shit together, learned from his mistakes and delivered a series that will make your sides disappear from this plane of existence, never to be found or heard from again.

Both series revolve around a pair of main characters with dark backstories who joined a faction with the primary objective of searching for something that was taken away from them. They also have a fair share of religious themes and symbolism, although Chrno Crusade is considerably heavier in that department, and the endings to both series pass on a harsh message. Also, both adapt their manga counterparts with some liberties in the first half, then diverge into anime-only territory later.
