+ Historical setting in the 19th century/20th century United States + African protagonists influenced by the racialist caste system of the United States + Protagonists experience loss in exchange for extraordinary abilities + Both utilize religious/folklore elements. + Could argue that both use fantasy as a plot driver. Differences - Blaster Knuckle is ACTION horror , Akuma Blues psychological horror. - Akuma has a darker tone

If you liked Soul Eater add

...then you might like Dolly♥Kill Kill add

Similarities + Great Art; seriously whether it be facial expressions, movement, action, both are easy on the eyes. + Can use style over substance as a descriptor but not in a derogatory way. + Excel at visual portrayals of madness. + Elements of body horror ( humanoid bodies being twisted into something non-human). + Subplots of characters bodies being invaded/corrupted by foreign substances. + Some characters tend to be creepy cute. Differences - Soul Eater has a supernatural gothic motif while Dolly Kill Kill is science fiction with a fleshy motif due to extraterrestrials invasion. - Soul Eater has a typical shounen set-up and sticks with it, Dolly has a typical manga set-up and throws it out entirely. - One has a (unsatisfying) conclusion the other ends abruptly.

If you liked Boogiepop wa Warawanai add

...then you might like Angel Beats! add

Similarities + Both stories revolve around past events, how they affect individuals in the present, the ramifications of obsessing over past events, and letting go and moving on said past events. + Death is a driving factor many of the characters and the world (micro and/or macro level). + Finding/fulfilling purpose is something that is touched upon to varying degrees. + Both are set in worlds that have an underlying supernatural presence that continues to exist indefinitely, even after the story of the featured characters is completed. Differences - Angel Beats has a much lighter tone - literally and metaphorically - that eases viewers before and after dramatic moments while Boogiepop Phantom is so dark - metaphorically and literally - that I had trouble keeping up with the action on screen. - Angel Beats sticks to one character's point of view and their interactions with others; Boogiepop jumps to a different character's point- of-view each episode. - Angel Beats story is a straightforward episodic timeline that is easy to comprehend while Boogiepop is episodically disjointed, referencing different points of time (the most extreme example is a period five years ago) - Boogiepop does expect you to have some beforehand knowledge of the franchise, though you can enjoy it without; Angel Beats doesn't have that handicap. - Boogiepop is doesn't have much physical action in the form of fights; Angel Beats has fights, loads of them.
