okay i don't wanna give any spoilers but there's a time travel/different timelines theme in both shows that shares a similar vibe (if that makes sense..?)

okay now this may seem insane but hear me out similarities: - humans (not really humans but close enough) attending special schools to learn about supernatural things (LWA: magic, SE: how to kill Kishin) - main antagonists are 'scientists' who sneak into the schools as staff to get close to MCs - halfway through both series, things get less episodic and the plot becomes clearer - the MCs are teenagers who act and look THEIR AGE - while the art styles are not too similar, both are cartoon-like and the way movements are drawn is similar - there is no CGI in either show (which is really refreshing and rare nowadays 😭) - same sappy "MC has a hidden power related to hOpE" trope shows up in last episodes while i ADORE soul eater, i only watch little witch academia to pass time but i ended up noticing these similarities. soul eater fans, you may find little witch academia way too cheesy but it has some common points so give it a try. little witch academia fans, you will likely find soul eater a bit dark and disturbing but it is an amazing show so please please watch it.

the stories aren't similar AT ALL but the MCs of both shows are underage blonde girls who are in the military bc of their good combat skills.

okay so since a bunch of people of people have already made this recommendation, i doubt too many people will get around to reading this but oh well. to be completely honest, the stories don't have much in common other than trying to make the audience cry (which isn't really a bad thing). however, the reason i think of one of these anime when the other is mentioned is THE ART!!! the art is exactly the same!! the same style of drawing face shapes and movements, and most of all the closeups!! since i know many people (including myself) watched violet evergarden because of the strikingly beautiful art style, A Silent Voice has the exact same art style!! (i believe they have the same "Key Animator") so yeah, if you like the art of one, watch the other!! hope i helped :))

Similarities: - mc is transported to another world - mc is told she is the fiancée of the male lead (against her will) - wins everyone over with her amazing cooking neither of these shows were 10/10 in my opinion BUT if you like one you'll definitely like the other :))

!Spoiler warning! Similarities: - MC gets swallowed up by dragon/machine - MC becomes the only one that can ride/control it - MC is forced to join a government team to help them use the dragon/machine - MC tries to quit at least once - later in the series, more similar dragon/machines appear - real purpose/origin of the dragons/machines is discovered at the end of course there are a lot of differences but the overall vibes of the shows are also similar :))

if you like one of these shows, you are almost certain to enjoy the other. similarities: - four rich princes - lower-class person comes to spend time with the princes - they clash at first, but get along well later on - set in a kingdom - similar art style - similar comedy these are both rather underrated animes and you should definitely give them a try :))
