Suisei no Gargantia

Both series explore a similar concept of a post-apocalyptic crisis warranting Earth uninhabitable, and the surviving humans seek a new home in outer space. Both series' viewpoints are from a space-dweller's whose whole perception of Earth is grounded on the fact that it is uninhabitable, and the protagonist discovering that there is more to Earth and life on Earth than what the upper echelons of authority in their society suggest. They also share the visual dichotomy between the environments and inhabitants of Earth and the metallic confinement of outer space and their respective inhabitants.

Kekkai Sensen

Both series have characters with supernatural powers, and are set in an American setting, though one (Baccano) is set in the Prohibition era, the other (Kekkai Sensen) is set in some fantastical future with aliens. Both series are fast-paced urban fantasies with a large cast of characters with great chemistry. Both are backed with a glorious jazz soundtrack and perfectly suits the series energetic vibes.

Shinsekai yori
|
Both series are set in a science-fiction dystopian society, with a cast of children who are confronted with the harsh realities of their world. Characters are faced with conflicting ideals, and communities are oppressed and stripped of their humanity and ultimately are engaged in a war. Both series explore themes of morality, fear and humanity and have incredible world building. Though Now and Then, Here and There is a relatively older series, its visuals still hold up. And of course, the visuals in Shinsekai Yori are stunning as well. These are coming of age stories in a dystopian society whose finales really do pay off.

Natsume Yuujinchou

The Mushishi series and the Natsume Yuujinchou series are both relaxing series. Both involve protagonists who can see supernatural entities, who learn or have learned to deal with this ability as they grow older. Ginko makes it his life work to work with and deal with mushi (the supernatural entity in Mushishi) and Natsume learns to coexist with yokai whilst slowly learning about the world and politics around exorcists. They both are largely episodic in nature, with Natsume Yuujinchou having more overarching narratives.

Amagi Brilliant Park
|
Amagi Brilliant Park and Fumoffu are produced by the same studio Kyoto Animation, and directed by the same director Takemoto Yasuhiro. It has a colourful cast of characters and strikes the same type of humour coming from the same original creator, Gatoh Shoji. AmaBuri is just as hectic and wacky as Fumoffu and we see a return of Bonta in the form of Moffle. Plus, the main cast of AmaBuri are named after famous rappers to boot. Though they share many similarities, Amagi Brilliant Park is very self-aware and has an overarching story. Fumoffu is more episodic in nature, and may require previous knowledge from the parent story Full Metal Panic.
