There is this strange sense of realism and probability in these series that you might like if you liked either series. Also a sense of mature responsibility for ones' siblings. Not to mention the need for growing up quickly and taking charge of what is going on.
Both anime have a "Grave of the Fireflies effect" that use several ploys to tug at your heart and give a sad feeling. Both are a must watch.

Both of them involve tragedies which force the main characters to take care of themselves with every little thing they can get.

Both deal with real catastrophes, the provoked damages, the victims and the ruined lives of the remained people..
Both series have a great psychological drama impact, very well developed.
Also, another important thing to mention is that they both share a great sibling relationship as main factor of the story along all the plot.
Conclusion, if u've seen one of those, you can't miss the other one!

It's the realism that makes these two so similar. There is no similarities in plot, but you will sure to have the same feelings when you watch Grave of the Fireflies and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 because both series try to cope with many things, like how to survive in a world where there's no one there for you but the company of each other (both series have the main characters as siblings).
Both GOTF and TM8.0 deal with panic and crisis situations. The first centers in the WWII, and Tokyo Magnitude in an eventual earthquake that strikes Japan. Also, the drama, sadness, and death are very important parts to it, and both will bring tears to your eyes, although, being Grave Of The Fireflies a movie from 1988, you need to enjoy old anime to like this one.

Young brother-sister pairs struggle through a time of crisis. In one tale, we have a young girl and her kid brother dealing with the aftermath of a serious earthquake, and in the other we watch as young boy and his toddler sister live through the gruesome Second World War. The recipe for a tearjerker has been perfected, so you better bring a box of tissues.
Both are splendid anime, that would definitely tug one's heartstrings. Both depict realistic scenarios, portraying the love and care siblings (the main characters) had for one another. Human nature, or rather how the society works, are painted beautifully. Tragedy did occur in both anime.
If looking for an anime that is emotional or you just want to have a ''good cry'', both are must-watch. If you like one, you would like the other.

- Both Shows deal with siblings being split from their parents in catastrophes (war /earthquake)
- They both evolve around the bond between siblings.
- They are both very dramatic and serious shows. Tokyo magnitude has more happy moments though.
Terrifying and uncomfortable stories about real disasters befalling Japan, and how it affects the children of the country especially
