Guy moves into a town which holds a mystery that unravels troughout the show. Higurashi has some lighter slice of life episodes, but that's cool because it's pretty long including -kai. Highly reccomend both

Both give a similar feeling: New guy arrives to a little village, and certain dark events start happening that are somehow related to a young mysterious girl. Slow and creepy atmosphere that makes you want to find out what´s going on. Brilliant ost and VA´s. Personally I enjoyed Shiki more, because it gives a deeper development to its characters and a more intricate plot. Still, Both are awesome animes that will keep you thrilled till the end, so if you enjoyed one, you will probably enjoy the other.

Students of a certain school are involved with something supernatural and they experience tragic deaths and accidents. 
report Recommended by Camarel
Both anime narrate a deaths sequel, one is more like a game that the one who lives will be the new God, and the other is a school tragedy, that the peaple will stop dieying just when they found out the 'ghost roomate'. Blood and drama, characters with tragic stories, despair, two very popular anime from the same year.

Both are entertaining if you want to switch your brains off and enjoy some fair amount of gore paired with ridiculous writing and character development. 
report Recommended by Diaspora
Very similar in that there is a supernatural cause making people die. They are both thrillers but Death Note has some deep thinking aspects while Another is Horror 
report Recommended by FFFTNere
Gothic ghost mysteries of some form. A girl is invisible to all except one for a particular reason. There is also a lack of trust at times, which results in negative things happening. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
I found these shows to be alike in their atmosphere. Another and Mayoiga are very eerie and set a certain uncomfortable (something bad is going to happen) atmosphere. Mayoiga and Another are both uncovering a secret about a village/class and indulge in mystery. Another is more horror geared than Mayoiga that's more mystery based.

its the race against time.... while the deathly game continues, The Scaredy Protagonist along with Big muscled easily embrassed guy and cowardly twin tailed girl trying to solve the mystery of the game, Its Like Deja vu you know?? Another.... , Mei and Kouichi, with no extra guy BUT an old guy... A TRIO!!!, trying to solve whos the extra one.... Maybe Ousama game has also the EXTRA ONE, trying to find out WHO THE REAL KING IS!!! or maybe its not included... One by one... piece by piece.... for the next 24 hours there will be the next VICTIM....

Both series take place in and around an abnormal school, with its students trying desperately to understand their situation with deaths taking place pretty much constantly. In Angel Beats! death is cheap (and impermanent), but Another plays for keeps. 
report Recommended by lithiumflower
Very similar atmosphere. Both contain mystery, horror, and lots of bloodshed. Both contain humanoid monsters. 
report Recommended by XanthReborn
Most of the show is inscrutable plot exposition, but when it comes time for bitches to die, you get your money's worth, no doubt. It takes quite a bit longer for the mayhem to kick in in Blood-C, but once it does, it's pretty brutal.

a kid comes to live in a rural town and is greeted by his class with open arms. also the town is f---ed up but no biggie. supernatural stuff happens people are "mysteriously" disappearing every episode MC should have GTFO'd out of there ASAP

Both have mysterious deaths that will be discovered over anime and of course a lot of blood 
report Recommended by Lucas8x
Dark world atmosphere, murder and people trying to solve the mystery behind weird death. Nice animation, good soundtracks. 
report Recommended by Hutai
In both anime, the main character meets a mysterious girl and the pair finds themselves in the middle of danger (in Another, a deadly curse - in Denpateki, a string of serial killings as well as a cult-like prankster group). The investigations build up similar atmospheres; though Denpateki is a bit more serious than Another, they both take a look into the psychology behind the characters and each has its fair share of death/gore/crazy people/plot twists. Denpa teki na Kanojo > Another

They may not be the same , but both have mystery and thriller in their genres, and both have a deep story plot that would make one glued to it.  
report Recommended by La_Matona301
In essence, both these series contain the elements of horror, mystery, and the thriller like feelings when you watch its progressing episodes. In other words, there are some cliffhangers that leaves the viewers wondering "what will happen next?" At any rate, Another and Ghost Hunt are similar in a variety of ways. Both series contains a school like setting where mystery is present. Additionally, the main protagonist is accompanied by a girl throughout the series with all the strange phenomenon going around. Both series although different in terms of story structure builds itself through suspense, horror, and mystery. Both series' characters are also teenagers and thus

Not sure if its truly right to compare something so early in its debut but Judging purely from episode 1 of Another, both series' share: - a similar eery atmosphere - psychological horror genre? - a dark mystery in need of uncovering - a similar look, use of music and mood - a main male protagonist who has had a death in the family

Just check the cover... Need I say more? lol... Just kidding... In all seriousness though.. * Both have weird Female lead * Both of them have an eye Patch * Both Male lead are almost identical * Both series required a whole new level of imagination to be created * Both series will leave you clueless in a different way though for each of them * Both series are so alike yet so different :D Guaranteed though that everyone will enjoy both..

This is the kind of story that doesn't get better for anyone. Tune in for some flashbacks, gore, bloodshed and assassination! 
report Recommended by NatoBoram
Both series contain plenty of mystery revolving around mysterious deaths and suspense. Both series' plots are twisted and contain plot holes as confusion and horror spreads as the episode progresses. Both series contain a cast of characters that begin to lose themselves in hopelessness as the murders continues in unfit matters. Additionally, some of the murders are graphic and increasingly violent as the death count toll piles up. 
report Recommended by Stark700
These both have the same "aura" when it comes to mysteries . Hyouka is more on club activities while another is more on finding the root. 
report Recommended by deathmoon06
Both are thriller/suspense dealing with the supernatural. Both have an ominous and eerie atmosphere. Another was the first series Shinsekai Yori reminded me of. That's gotta account for something, right? lol

similarities: They both have a boy and a girl MC There are plot twists Some foreshadowing A bit of mystery surrounding the MC They both involve death One of MC from both series has a special ability Everything ties together 
report Recommended by ajasmines
Similar feel for the main female characters in both personality and art style. Similar art style for the series. 
report Recommended by Kalivanna
Similar feel, but Another is more dark. Both anime is of a class of students who are all have a risk of dying and in both anime the class has to find the 'special' person, where in Danganronpa it is the murderers but in Another it is the 'Extra' one. Also, both a bloodbath of an anime. - Mystery - Murder  
report Recommended by sxndz
While "Another" is more horror and "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu" - more humorous, both stories involve a class which is being avoided by others. These two animes also involve a certain "ritual", which is done by the whole class, for example killing Koro-sensei in "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu" and ignoring a certain student in "Another".

Both of them are Horror, has blood, and interesting stories. If you like dark theme anime, then you should watch both of them! 
report Recommended by FunnyGames
First of all, it's all about the suspense and the atmosphere of the anime! The creepiness and awesomeness and all the exciting mysteries and... ah! *fakes cough* What I mean to say it, they're both amazing ;3 
report Recommended by seaintheclouds
Both are a mystery anime only with a different setting. They both aim to make you think who is/are the person/s they are looking for. 
report Recommended by megalols
In Another and Dansai Bunri no Kuraimu Ejji, both main, male leads notice a girl who is excluded from those around her. Both are interested in finding out why and so they seek out the girl more, but others are being opposed to this happening. Both series are dark, but also enjoyable to people who don't usually watch psychological and dark animations. You will notice more similarities as the main plot and the characters unfold. The main, male characters decide that they will be there for the girl, even if it gets themselves hurt in the process. And from this, new events unfold no one

They both depict people trying to survive a weird conspiracy that has shaped their lives and because of those circumstances, people die.

Both series have the same Mystery and Horror theme which deceives every viewers. Most importantly, they have the same impact when it comes to plot revelations.

Both have gore scenes so bizarre it will make you laugh,

The mood of the 2013 adaptation of Rozen Maiden has a similar feeling in comparison to Another. Otherwise, there's also the themes of dolls present in both series as well as a mysterious atmosphere. Both series also deals with a normal boy whose life becomes abnormal after a faithful day. Both series' OP song are also handled by ALI PROJECT. 
report Recommended by Stark700
Both the protagonists have secrets in their family that help drive the stories to their conclusion and the final ending. It is a dark Gothic with lots of death and a nice mystery of trying to figure out the bigger picture. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
Both have great and detailed animation that gives a lot to the atmosphere of anime and feeling. Lots of action, fights, deaths, blood and gore. Ajin has more of terrorism and killing, whilst Another has some detective horror story.

1. Main character with a physical illness moves to the countryside. 2. He befriends a girl who is an outcast/bullied by the social group they belong to. 3. He protects the girl even though he doesn't know her backstory. 
report Recommended by Plictiseala
They have the same base, everybody wants a person to disappear (better said "to die"), but the main character decides to get to know that person better and protect her. The difference is, Another is a bit more creepy and Akuma no Riddle is a bit of a shoujo-ai. 
report Recommended by Mi-na42
While the story and setting are entirely different, the two are similar nonetheless, considering that the vibes that these two give are on the next level of resemblance. Dolls with mystery, something about it feels oddly eerie, and that is what these series are trying to accomplish. The only difference is that "Shadows House" has the CGDCT aspect while "Another" does not. 
report Recommended by Solaris-----
Dealing with ghosts, spirits, curses in the animes have similar events. Team of young people trying to solve mysteries behind some strange phenomenon but in this world of darkness they are still new and inexperienced. Both of the anime have a little similar cover picture design and background theme. On the other hand the story on both of them are not similar. In "Dark Gathering" they are hunting bad spirits but in anime "Another" they are trying to avoid the bad phenomenon. Despite some difference these two can be matched to some extent. 
report Recommended by OP_Rider
May look like a stretch, but WEP and Another do have some kind of destructive class environment with borderline gorey type content. Honestly, looking at the two, they are both quite unsettling and that only improving in expanding how unsettling and unearthly things get the more you look into things. Both anime have characters that look for good though, fighting through something no student should face in the name of fixing the broken order currently existing. Both are good anime looking into how students deal with calamities with one another.  
report Recommended by NextUniverse
Although there are a lot of positive things to say about Another and School Days, if there is one factor that brings them together, it is how silly they are unintentionally. I don't mean to bring the two in a negative light but they can sometimes be a bit ridiculous to the point of comedic level. Regardless, Another and School Days use students to make a somewhat realistic story in how students would go around messy situations. Another does this with the calamity causing monthly deaths, School Days does this with teenagers who just don't know how to love properly. Both are presumptuous psychological anime that

Horror series featuring a mysterious girl and an ordinary boy trying to discern and overcome the supernatural circumstances plaguing them. The plots are quite different, but the creepy ambiance pervading both is remarkably similar. 
report Recommended by lithiumflower
both share new to school type mcs and also a dark toned story line and the characters having to figure out what is even going on as well too. 
report Recommended by Disapeared_Ghost
Both dealing with unnatural phenomenons and surrounded in mystery. The emotional leaps and ecchi that were in Steins;Gate are not present in Another, but I would say you should at least give it a shot. I enjoyed it. 
report Recommended by Lovelle
Both are centered around a younger crowd and have a dark artistic style to them. The story lines themselves aren't particularly similar but the style is simalar. Another is atmospherically darker. Madoka may feel at first like it's too "pink" but it gets darker very quickly and becomes very interesting.

Both Anime has an unknown presence Very suspenseful, and mysterious Similar character designs.

Everyone seems to be targeted by supernatural phenomenons. Our main characters must solve the mystery behind it. Prevent deaths to come. Both series having that chilling like horror feel. Dark, gory, and thriller. The Opening theme song for both series is very haunting.
