15 [Similar Anime] Like Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Dark theme, apocalypse-like set, monsteruous creatures which want to drive humanity into extinction and a protagonist with special power who wants to change this fact.

Once you see a trailer or read the description on this anime you might think: hmm... hold on a sec... where have I heard that before....? Well lets say it's not like they're even trying to pretend it's not almost exactly like Shingeki no Kyojin. Even the Soundtrack is basically the same! However I still can't decide which I like more. However if you enjoyed Attack on Titan, you will most likely enjoy this anime as well. Even though they're so similar, you don't feel like you're watching the same thing.
I wont go into more detail how they are alike. But how is Koutetsujou no Kabaneri distinct from Shingeki no Kyojin? Mainly the setting. First Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress seems to be a bit more futuristic, since Attack on Titan appears almost medieval. While in both anime there is a town, in which our main character and his friends live, it is only one huge town surrounded by many walls in Attack on Titan. However there are more of those in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, which are connected by rails. This means of transportation also poses a threat to the towns, but this way an extremely thrilling journey unfolds!
The characters are a bit different, too. But in a way that fits the story very well!
Well go and see for yourself which one of those two anime you like better!

Both of these anime revolve around the main character stopping a deadly infection before it reaches their brain, and in doing so end up unlike any species, not human nor infected. These mc's that undertake the change handle their situation with similar approaches, that being to preserve and protect human life despite their obvious condition. Another thing thats similar between these anime is the overall feel, its hard to explain but you just get the same adrenalin rush when you see the mc master their conditions. The only significant difference I can think of is the time these are set, Kiseijuu is very modern whereas Kabaneri has a more traditional look with a touch of industrialization.

Both shows are about humanity being on the brink of extinction due to some superhuman monsters, and in this case the monsters bite humans into one of their kind. In Seraph of the End the monsters are vampires, and in Kabaneri, the monsters are zombies. Both are animated by Wit and music is done by Hiroyuki Sawano. Both are shows that have a similar setup to Attack on Titan. Both shows have a MC that are quite fed up with the situation that he makes it his mission to exterminate all of these monsters that threaten humanity.

Both have apocalyptic monsters who eat humans and the main characters have ways to defeat them.
In both anime humans are reduced to living in fortified areas.
The main character in both is very determined to defeat the monsters because of past trauma.

Both anime have pretty much of the same feeling as a survival with a group of people except Kanbaneri is more about survival with a group of cowardly people with only a few strong whereas Highschool's group of characters are all strong and gets stronger each episode. Both anime may take place in a different time period but the basic idea is fighting the undead, people get bit and come back to attack humans. The amount of gore and nudity is about the same but Highschool is more ecchi, after all, it is about a bunch of teenagers.

This anime is more similar to Attack on Titan, with humanity being scared and hiding behind walls to survive against swarms of shit that wants to kill them. But, its similar in a sense to Tokyo Ghoul as well. The element of how people who get infected are treated, as soon as they are infected they are to be killed on the spot. The authorities here also do inspections and stuff too to see if you were infected. While in Tokyo Ghoul, Ghouls try to blend into society but as soon as they are found out they are to be killed on the spot.

Humanity is on the brink of extinction by a more powerful species.
Main characters have a certain "power" that helps them fight
Both are Masterpieces

Both anime have a great animation with a promising plot that gets flushed down the drain.

The main story goes through living dead. It is true that in different contexts. In Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress the 'Kabani' is a kind of zombie with the power of infect other people, while in Seisha no Teikoku there are dead people that return to life through of the science.

Gratuitously gorey action. Beautiful & unique art/animation. Both thrillers but Kabeneri is a little more fast pace.

hey both have a protagonist who is a hybrid between two 'species'.
both of them have to fight an uphill battle.

Are they human? Not exactly, in Ajin, Nagai Kei is an Ajin or Demi-Humans if you prefer. Ajin's look like normal humans on the outside, but are actually immortal and have the ability to summon an IBM (Invisible Black Matter), which cannot be seen by the naked eye. While in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Ikoma is a Kabaneri, something inbertween a human and a kabane. If you are suspected or confirmed to be a Kabane or Ajin you will try to be captured by someone, and eventually turned in to the government. The government will kill Ajins over and over, while in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress they will just make you to use the suicide bag. Each show also has an old friend of the main character who helps them, even after everyone else has declared them a threat to the rest of the society. Each show has a unique art style. They are both animated by up and coming studios, Polygon Pictures (Ajin), Wit Studio (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress).

Set in a Post Apocalyptic... where humanity is fallen apart...
Vampires(Kabaneri) droven onto madness...
Both have a same vibes with interesting background theme setting..

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and Active Raid are action shows with trains. Each show is an original work by a director of an extremely famous anime. Active Raid is directed by Taniguchi Gorou (Code Geass), and Kabaneri is directed by Araki Tetsurou (Attack on Titan). There are some differences though, while Kabaneri is a Horror, Fantasy Show, Active Raid is primarily a Mecha.

There both about surviving against unexpected monsters for humanity.
