Anime 50582 Nanatsu No Maken Ga Shihai Suru Userrecs

- completely different tone yet both evoke and remind u of the atmosphere of harry potter when watching - Mashle is a pretty clearly intended parody of it, while Nanatsu no Maken is more of a serious/edgy/modern take on it - both revolve around a group of teenagers becoming friends in a magic school, and both have very well(especially considering current standard <_<) designed characters where pretty much whole main cast feels meaningful and not just like one-dimensional different haired and/or different boob-sized cardboard cutouts - both have elements of mystery - both have wonderful and rly fitting soundtracks - Mashle focuses way more on its protagonist Mash, while Nanatsu no Maken doesn't really have a single main protagonist (one could say Oliver is one but if we consider actual screentime and development he's gotten barely as much if not less than some other from the main cast at least so far)  

These anime may see a lot far away from COE but trust me, it gets more and more similar from 7th episode. Some of them are: Both leads have a hidden agenda Both leads are quick thinkers and analyze the situation completely Here, one may not be a tsudere but he does has a very scary side of him just like ayanokoji.....
