If you liked Universe add

...then you might like Niedola add

Somebody said that Universe is quite the joyful representation of a doll-like character's point of view, pointing out that the little girl in the music video looks like Charlotte from Madoka Magica's series. Well if Universe is the life of Charlotte in her dreams and positive fantasies, in Niedola you'll find the spooky labyrinth of a gloomy girl obsessed with butterflies and a murderous past/event; could that be considered Gertrud the witch?

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Niedola add

In the Madoka's series we can see magical girls fighting evil witches; the protagonists usually fight in the witches' den: the labyrinth, representation of the damned magical girl's negative life-experience. In the music video Niedola you'll find the perfect possible representation of that labyrinth, similar 3D animation, hurt girls, gothic and horror setting... In the ONA you'll even find a not-so-explained murder and a possible lesbian relationship (?), common themes of the Madoka's franchising. Musics are totally different: if the magical girls preferred religious notes, matryoshka's song surely revokes a dreamy fantasy with an inspired whispered melody. *If you liked the ONA, you could be find interesting reading the bloody horror oneshot "The End In Common Ruin" by the artist Mitsuzaku Mihara, about two lolita sisters with a morbid relationship.

If you liked K-On!! add

...then you might like Aki no Kanade add

They're both about girls with a big passion for music: the TeaTime band prefers pop-rock and modern instruments but Aki is into taiko, a traditional japanese drum. The two anime are completely different for duration: K-On is a long TV series (2 regular seasons with a movie) and Aki no Kanade is just a oneshot movie for the Anime Mirai Project, but they both involve a character growth and a deep reflection about time passing and social relationships (with the family, friends...), all blended with a special melancholy for the past.

If you liked Indigo Blue add

...then you might like Mars no Kiss add

They're both about women finding out abruptly to have interest in women. The protagonists struggle with inner resistance due to their previously conventional relationships with men but on the other side they're guided by the strong and deep affection (and attraction) towards their beloveds. To sum up they're both manga about a sort of sexual epiphany.

If you liked Akuma no Namida add

...then you might like Maou sa add

In the two one-shots the main character is a devil being forced to stay on earth. At the beginning the devil tries his best to come back to hell (or his infernal home, whatever), but in both chapters a sudden event and a change of mind make them think that, maybe, the life on earth is not that bad...

If you liked Soul to Seoul add

...then you might like Steel Rose add

Both series are about young Asian people trying to find their way in NY, overcoming thier family problems and being a foreigner in a foreign country. The manhwa is more "harsh": there is no happy time or lucky strike, it's really realistic and highly dramatic. On the other side, Steel Rose is more a love comedy, with stereotyped characters: the main couple is perfectly composed by two lovers refusing their gender (graphically and sometimes even psychologically).

If you liked Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu add

...then you might like Diamond Dust add

They share the same "deep love-story destined to die due to degenerative illness" theme. In particular Socrates in Love prefers show all the teenage feelings of timid and unexperienced students, Diamond Dust is more about social outcasts: a depressed pianist and an indie artist facing the problems of being unable to communicate to the world. They share the same "pathos" and similar extreme and desperate sentimental actions: going to Australia and "smuggling" the grandmother's ashes for the two students in love, completing and performing the song "Diamond Dust" for the two musicians. Tragic endings in both works, but quite fitting the idea of sentimental "Bildungsroman".

If you liked 48x61 add

...then you might like Gondora add

Protagonists are old men going crazy; even the art style is similar. However Gondora has a "musical background" that gives it a more psychic and surreal appearance, on the other hand 48X61 is based on a caricature comic plot, which can make it result less disturbing.

If you liked Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt add

...then you might like Hate You add

Both have as protagonists strong girls with blades and big guns, chasing and fighting monsters. They're completely different format ( TV series VS Music video) but the girls even share a disrespect towards men and boys in general: Panty and Stocking and the 2NE1 give us the appearance of strong female leads, totally independent from male heroes.

If you liked Aachi wa Ssipak add

...then you might like Jubilee add

A metropolitan setting with deformed characters who want to be caricatures of society. The unrealistic and trippy feeling is quite the same.

If you liked 24H add

...then you might like Mogu Mogu add

Similar art and fantastic characters: they look like folkloristic and mythological Asian creatures that have been put in a suburb setting.

If you liked Onanie Master Kurosawa add

...then you might like Genkaku Picasso add

Both protagonists share the same social problem: they're two outcasts, all alone with their obsession: masturbating for Kurosawa and drawing for Hamura/Picasso. Their attitude, which is supposed to make them appear strong and not concerning the students company, is but a way to conceal the fact that both are really scared to have social contact with others. In the two manga Kurosawa and Picasso end up helping people: Kurosawa is worried for his classmate Kitahara and all the people he hurt, Picasso becomes a sort of paranormal "psychological fixer". To sum up, their both works which fae the theme of growing up and becoming adults.

If you liked Princess Tutu add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

Madoka and Ahiru are both two little girls who thinks to have any special ability, they both try to become stronger with the help of ambiguous helpers and have to face all the responsibility coming from this choice. Besides both manga represent really cute girls overcoming big magical problems and even fighting other little girls, who choose their side due to their personal insecurity or worries.

Both are manhwa, they share a similar graphic style. Besides, their protagonists have androgynous bodies or are acknowledged gender benders. The two manhwa are set in fantastic realms and share a really complex plot: secrets, Machiavelian plans, politics, challanges, romance... You sure have to pay attention to the story development!

If you liked Hipira-kun add

...then you might like Blood Lad add

Both about vampires; besides Hipira could perfectly be the child-version of Staz: they like adventures, they're quite clumsy and reticent about their feelings, they like exploring unknow worlds...

If you liked Hipira-kun add
