COMMENTS FOR STEINS;GATE
When someone you hold dear is met the fate of losing their life, and you have the ability to go back in time to that moment to try and save them, do you have what it takes to do it? In Steins;Gate, science is used to create a time a machine, rewinding the clock and changing the course of fate and time by saving the one life (or two) In Erased, it is a slightly more chaotic as there is no science involved, only a lingering sense of guilt and the ability to rewind the clock before a drastic event occurs.
These parallel lines were what drew me to Erased, and I wasn't disappointed. It did remind me of Steins;Gate with the aspect of time traveling to save a loved one. Changing the course of the present and time itself by making that one change and saving this one life, no matter the outcome. Hence, if you have enjoyed those elements in one of those anime shows, you will definitely enjoy watching the other.
Both series feature spirited protagonists, that might feel isolated from those around them, but are determined to the right thing and fix their mistakes - this may sound clichéd, but they both have enough quirks and enough charm to keep them interesting. From a genre perspective - both feature time travel and the idea of alternate worlds and realities, and the idea of preserving relationships across these boundaries. The artwork, particularly the backgrounds, is something definitely worth noting, as there as some stunning scenes throughout. Steins;Gate has more "lighter" moments, perhaps due to the added length, but both series definitely have plenty of suspenseful moments that'll have you moving onto the next episode as quickly as you can.

COMMENTS FOR RE:ZERO -STARTING LIFE IN ANOTHER WORLD-
Imagine a world where fate demands to be corrected and it is willing to go through an endless binding cycle to achieve that purpose. The curse of time travel being portrayed at its best where the ones involved either witness gruesome deaths or experience it themselves. Happy endings are hard to come by but the future remains uncertain, it is up to the individual to decide the closure they deserve.
‘Boku dake ga Inai Machi’ showcases a game of cat and mouse that has seen it being dragged on for over 10 years in which all the tragedies that unfolded before us are planned by one single entity. The rich storyline that is full of substance accompanied by dark striking character expressions will undeniably leave your heart pumping while trying to anticipate the outcome of one’s action.
‘Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu’ convene its story through multiple layers of secluded mystery where it is not known how each event are related. Unlike ‘Boku dake ga Inai Machi’, this mystery-base story plays right into the show’s strength due to the final villain not being revealed blatantly while their true purpose remains an enigma. Commendation should also be given to the series with the way it prioritises its vision, the romance/harem is certainly noticeable but never overwhelm the true objective which is the storyline. Audience would certainly appreciate the character interactions and comedy which sets a lighter tone away from the frightening events that has all but left us bewitched.
- Both are very dark Thriller shows...
- Both has time-loop themes [ no, Re:Zero isn't time travel anime, look at Anime Man's video about this show ]
- Both has male MC's who tries to save the people they care about.... [ Loooove xD ]
- Both are pretty new/modern animes who reached TOP 100 in notime, they're pretty popular too..[ haters included :) ]
- Ok, I won't lie that both shows has great OP's/OST's which will make you're ears orgasm by themselves [ ok, this is dumb but whatever ]
- In both you somehow start to feel for MC's for what they went, kinda self-insert animes...
- Both at very end of each and evey episode leaves you at big cliffhanger's...[ I think that's good ]
- By the way, if you like graphical violence - this is for you, just don't expect 90's level of gore/curses and other non-moe stuff..
COMMENTS FOR RELIFE
Both series feature a main character that, through a miraculous event of self-justice, are put in a youthful setting in hopes to solve a major problem in their lives. While Erased focuses on the character progression of those around the main character, ReLIFE is primarily focused on the main character himself.
Although both stories are presented as a mature personality in a younger body-- there are still clear differences in the tone, considering Erased is based on a middle school life, while ReLIFE is set in a final year of high school. Tension is much lower in ReLIFE, since it's not a murder mystery, but it still has great moments of conflict and progression. I couldn't recommend ReLIFE more if you enjoyed Erased.
COMMENTS FOR ORANGE
In Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) the main character goes back in time to prevent his childhood friend from dying. A similar occurrence happens in Orange when the main character recieves a letter from her future self warning her of her friend's death and guiding her toward changing it. Both anime involve a character who feel worthless and have a rather... dysfunctional life, as well as a character who is looking to save said character.

Both of them are dramatic, thrilling, psychological and emotional.
AnoHana and Erased have brilliant directing and production, they have the same director, stunning visuals, detailed backgrounds and some hidden stuff in their op and ed, and they're both made by A-1 pictures.

+ Both have amazing visuals/ost's...
+ Both are made by A-1 Pictures / both has similar genres as well...

COMMENTS FOR DETECTIVE CONAN
There is a few things that are surprisingly alike in these two anime.
1.) Conan and Satoru both are 'stuck' in a younger body, and it can be assumed Satoru will eventually have to deal with the same problems getting adults to listen to him when he needs something done, or needs to look into something.
2.) Conan and Satoru are both attempting to puzzle out their situations. Conan being a detective, and Satoru needing to puzzle out, like a detective, what happened to his mother and the people around him and find out who did these horrible things.

COMMENTS FOR DEATH NOTE
A highly strategic killer who seems too skilled to ever get caught is confronted by possibly the only person ever capable of catching them. One of them also has a supernatural ability which may give them an edge over the other.
Both anime have a pretty dark tone to them and keep you at the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next. They also give you the feel of a constant battle going on between the hero and the killer where even the slightest mistake could have drastic consequences. Although Erased doesn't show the conflict directly from the killer's perspective, you can tell how the actions of the main character force the killer to alter his plans behind the scenes.

COMMENTS FOR FROM THE NEW WORLD
- Both share psychological and supernatural genre.
- Both are trying to explain the disappearance of children.
- Both reflect the differences between the mind of a child and the mind of an adult.
- Both are destined for mature people (R+17 ranking).
- Both made by A-1 Pictures studio.
In Shinsekai Yori, the protagonist discovers the world she lives in and fought for her people when faced with calamity
In Boku dake ga inai machi, the protagonist seeks to solve the mystery of the serial kidnappings and tries to save victims by going back in time
Both are extraordinarily intriguing and share similar atmosphere
These two are rare masterpieces and have original story on top of good illustrations and well used BGM
Shinsekai Yori fans, a similar masterpiece is finally out!!

COMMENTS FOR WHEN THEY CRY
There are several factors that provide some similarities between both shows. For one thing, the main protagonist's have a mental age that surpasses far more than they appear to be, giving them the advantage of years of experience and wisdom.
The key theme between the two is mystery solving for the purpose of finding out the truth and uncovering the culprit behind the murders and preventing it by whatever means possible.
COMMENTS FOR CHARLOTTE
Both have really big plot twists you wouldn't expect and both cover people with disabilities and or unfair life chances. They both have very lovable characters too so i would really recommend you watch this if you enjoyed Charlotte as much as me!
A boy who suffers a great tragedy attempts to redirect the course of his life through supernatural means. One-cour length series shows initial promise but is ultimately crippled by inadequate development of characters; ineffective communication of overarching themes; and a hollow, abrupt timeskip conclusion with feel-good intentions that fails to deliver.
