COMMENTS FOR THE GARDEN OF SINNERS CHAPTER 1: OVERLOOKING VIEW
Both written in the late 90's, dark and gritty themes, violence, supernatural, mystery, thriller, I got the same feeling watching both of these shows. Both deal with relatively mature topics. Both stories are somewhat difficult to follow if you are not paying attention meaning you will get more out of subsequent rewatches.

COMMENTS FOR DURARARA!!
Supernatural happenings in the big city. Both have unconventional ways of telling a story and have large casts of characters each with their own motivations and goals. Boogiepop is darker and gritter than Durarara, but both deal with supernatural beings that are found in myth and lore throughout the world all while living in a hectic concrete jungle. Each both have compelling stories with meaningful drama and terrific characters.

COMMENTS FOR SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN
Both series have a nonlinear, non-obvious, avant garde style of storytelling. The effect of this is that one has to be in complete attention while watching the show or it will be confusing and difficult to follow.

COMMENTS FOR SAGRADA RESET
Honestly it's the most similar show out of every other recommended here. Both are severely underrated by people who watch 1-3 ep and don't understand the plot and both have extremely complex story telling which might be hard for some to understand but if you get into them both, you'll find them to be quite brilliant. Enjoy.

COMMENTS FOR WHEN THEY CRY
Boogiepop And Other is a horror anime series with a story that has a similar set up to Higurashi. All of the characters profiled in each episode are in some way linked to each other; a mysterious beam of light, a series of murders that took place 5 years before the anime, and Boogiepop, the "Angel of Death". Boogiepop Phantom, like Higurashi, needs to be paid attention to closely so you can be able to fully grasp what is going

COMMENTS FOR GENERATOR GAWL
A dark atmosphere, characters full of secrets, a reality constructed for the wishes of someone, interesting theories about time and people who want to escape of their own life. Probably, if you like rare thematics, these two are good options.

COMMENTS FOR NIGHT HEAD GENESIS
Night Head Genesis and Boogiepop And Other are both supernatural thrillers that explore the potentially disastrous consequences of spiritual powers unleashed. These series are extremely dark and delve into the darkest aspects of the human psyche. With this said, Boogiepop Phantom is considerably more complex, with a narrative that breaks all conventions, being highly non-linear while Night Head Genesis is easier to follow and much more conventional in terms of story telling.

COMMENTS FOR ERGO PROXY
Both are interpitations of an apocalyptic future that start in a seemingly utopian society. Both focus mainly on 2 characters, with a female lead and a male secondary lead.
Both shows tackle their societies problems while also questioning the benefits of it, making you think.
They both also leave you questioning what you watched in a satisfying way, wanting more answers.
both shows also feature a strong scifi world with a magical element, beyond human, and end with a somber yet hopeful note, would strongly recomend one if you liked the other.

COMMENTS FOR PET SHOP OF HORRORS
Both gerneraly have the same vibe of human flaw. Each have humans with personality, or social problems that draws a dark influence to them, eventually giving them the power to destroy themselves with there own devices.

COMMENTS FOR KIKOUSHI ENMA
Boogiepop And Other and Demon Prince Enma are horrors with very dark (obviously), twisted, complex and surprising story. There are some similarities, but its difficult to explain. The title character Enma reminded me a little bit of Boogiepop (or its Phantom or both) and the plot in both shows heavily revolved around the dark side of human soul

COMMENTS FOR PERFECT BLUE
A dark mood with a hint of madness is what fills these two series. They give you a deeper view into the psychics of humans, both realistic and not, and is bound to entertain the one who like dementia. A given choice.

COMMENTS FOR SHADOW STAR NARUTARU
If you're into story based anime, than Narutaru and Boogiepop And Other bring you weird plot twists and confusion in ways you haven't seen before.

COMMENTS FOR SERAPHIM CALL
The ebb and flow of both of these series is identical. You watch each episode as a stand alone 25 minutes, all of them seemingly unconnected. The final episode ties all of the stories together, with a nice little twist.
Seraphim is much slower paced, and is not quite as deep and involved as Boogiepop. Boogiepop is a classic horror series, and can take a lot of focus to get through.

COMMENTS FOR FLOWERS OF EVIL
Come and stay for the spooky atmosphere. Boogiepop and Other has actual supernatural stuff going on and there's a mystery. By contrast, in Flowers of Evil you know exactly what is going on but there's hella anxiety.

COMMENTS FOR CHäOS;CHILD
Both Boogie and other and Chaos;Child have a deep story which will keep you confused for a while slowly giving away details to make sense of the whole situation. In both anime, you usually see the story from the main characters perspective where he is the least informed of the characters about what is happening and later on becomes the hero. Also, they both share the theme where the characters go a 'bit' insane because of psycological reasons.

COMMENTS FOR KING'S GAME
Both Boogiepop and king's game utilise mystery to slowly uncover a strange plot filled with mind boggle-ry based around an artificial existence

COMMENTS FOR PENGUINDRUM
Boogiepop And Other and Mawaru Penguin Drum have this dark, shrouded atmosphere that makes their worlds seem hopeless, unpredictable, and better off just letting the ''fate'' of their worlds take over. These shows have the power of taking people who seem so ordanairy and making their lifes a living hell, constantly fighting for what they want, even when they know that it may not come to light. The fate of the characters seems just about impossible to change...
The fantasy aspect, which usually makes a lot of shows more bright and loving, can make the worst darkness come out. The characters are out there for their own needs and won't stop to get what they want. While their causes seem reasonable, the boundaries that are pushed can be overwhelming, trying to change the outcomes of the people they care about. Also, the animation styles are both unique and bright.

COMMENTS FOR AOI BUNGAKU SERIES
Both have multiple story arcs that are extremely dark and emotionally disturbing. The emotional level could be really complex to understand since there are a lot of suicidal thoughts or low-self-esteem characters.
Aoi Bungaku adapts classic Japanese literature coming from various authors, Boogiepop comes from a light novel but it takes place in a more modern society while the former is a bit into the historical side since the novels are from the last century.

COMMENTS FOR PARANOIA AGENT
Both Boogiepop And Other and Paranoia Agent deal with mysterious and terrifying incidents terrorising a city, with only a shadowy rumour to blame.
Both shows are a little slow-paced, but with many twists and red herrings along the way to keep you guessing until the final mindblow.

COMMENTS FOR XXXHOLIC KEI
Both shows deal with the supernatural, while xxxholic Kei is lighter in its delivery, they still manage to get the same point across.

COMMENTS FOR ELFEN LIED
boogiepop and other and Elfen lied share a lot of commonalities genre-wise. Both are mystery thrillers with violence and sexual content. Both have a similar eerie tone where the leave viewers and the protagonists mostly confused to slowly reveal dark truths about their society. Both shows are about how individuals obtain power/control by withholding information and altering people's memories. Both are highly thought-provoking and at times hard to grasp. In my opinion, one (elfen lied) executes its overall story better. One (boogiepop and other).
