I feel they both share a similar premise & overall atmosphere: Humans and monsters partner up together in order to compete at a tournament to achieve a common goal in exchange for greater power that is promised to anyone who emerges victor — which each individual team intends to use either for the greater good or for their own benefit. This makes for a very colorful cast (consisting mostly of kids) in each of these series, featuring unique systems customary within the monster-taming genre that each of their worlds work on, and an array of situations that vary from lighthearted and comedic to unexpectedly serious and at times dark in an "I can't believe they'd show this in a kid's show!?" kinda way; all while remaining consistently earnest in their execution. Really charming, highly creative, and fun experiences! They both also happen to share the fact that they're SUPER underrated and definitely worth giving a try, too!✨
