13 [Similar Anime] Like Kokkoku

Art style: very similar art style, a bit dark and beautiful

Kokkoku and Pet was made by the same Studio Geno based on mangas from different authors, but when you watch it the similarities of the narrative are so strong that you may guess the Studio has chosen these works based on this to keep a style.

Both are sfish dramas with hyper tension and fast storyboard

A must-see for all time-traveling enthusiasts. Steins;Gate explores the multitude of possibilities in the course of time as it unforlds (from a point in the past onwards) while Kokkoku is about entering a co-called stasis, a frozen frame, a single moment in time where some have the "power" to interact while the rest of the world around them is like an unmovable picture. S;G starts off really slowly but at some point BAM! it hits you strong and accelerates. Kokkoku is going fast (oh the irony!) from sec one. There's lots of violence in both cases, if you have a weak stomach better avoid them during lunch time.

From the more realism-lenient art style and chaotic opening, to the many questions posed by their concepts, both series (at least so far for Kokkoku) carry a very similar atmosphere.

Although the animation, plot, and characters are very different, they give off the same vibe. As I was watching Kokkoku, I started thinking of Ajin as soon as I saw the creatures summoned in the world of Stasis.

Both are psychological/mystery Seinen.
The shows take place in a kind of alternative universe out of time.
The characters are confronted with fantastic/paranormal elements.
The animation quality is mediocre in both shows and the designs are similar.

- Very large and diverse cast
- Winding story
- Funky music
- Superpowers and mystery
- Lots of death and blood
- Tense atmosphere

Where one of the main characters is an elderly man with superpowers. Also similar atmosphere, gory themes with lots of violence and action.

- Small town mystery feel
- Jazzy music that doesn't quite fit but the contrast in turn makes it good
- Superpowers with a history (backed by powerful pseudoscience)
- Mysterious cult

Ok, not a perfect recommendation, but listen up. The first two episodes of Gintama's fourth season use a similar premise to Kokkoku. In both, the main characters find themselves in a world frozen in time where they are able to roam freely while everyone else is motionless.

Both have a similar vibe and atmosphere. Great soundtracks, different perspectives from different characters, and the past is unravelled for each show as they go on.

Being in the world of parasytes and being in the world statis draws similar feelings of isolation and dread.
