Throughout watching the series Black Bullet, I can definitely note some key similarities to that of the 2013 success "Shingeki no Kyojin". Firstly, the most apparent similarity is that of the theme subject that evolves through both of these animes- Humanity suffered a terrible crisis in the past, and built themselves protective 'walls' or 'barriers' to help prevent the crisis from reoccurring. What was the crisis? The evolution of dominant species who have it in their power to wipe out the entire of humanity. In Shingeki no Kyojin these manifest themselves as 'titans' who posses a minorly gigantic human appearance, and in Black Bullet they manifest themselves as giant insect-appearing 'Gastrea'. These animes also prove themselves to be similar within the plot, in that there are specially trained humans who require some sort of aid in order to fight and combat the giants that may infiltrate the walls. In Shingeki no Kyojin their aid is the 3D Maneuver gear, and in Black Bullet their aids are the child-like companions whom posses unique abilities, as well as the specially designed bullets. It is also important to note that the protagonist for both animes are voiced by the same actor (this is for those who watch it subbed and not dubbed). In my opinion I also find the anime openings to have some sort of similar genre of music to them, but this in itself is my pure opinion and some people may not view this to be 100% accurate. There are also similarities with regards to the spoilers that are revealed within the shows, but due to my interest into not wanting to spoil the show, you will just have to find out by watching the two and judging for yourself.

Personally, I find Gasai Yuno and Lucy / Nyuu to pretty similar. They both have their innocent and fragile sides, but then they also have their mass-murder psychotic sides. Both animes are good for showing the development of the characters and their 'bi-polar' personalities.
