Island addpermalink

Both are based on highly rated visual novels where the protagonist suddenly gets dragged in many mysteries while surrounded by beautiful women. Furthermore these anime are very similar because of time travel (explaining more would be spoilers)

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu addpermalink

The animes are similar in the way that both mc's have the ability to go back in time multiple times to achieve a favorable outcome. Re: Zero has its lead reverting back to a checkpoint in his life when he dies, while the lead in Kono Yo No Hate has an ancient device that allows him to save a checkpoint in time and travel back to it if he chooses to.

Sakurada Reset addpermalink

Another 2-cour science-fiction/mystery show with high school characters. Both main characters have time travel ability. In YU-NO the MacGuffin of the story is the time travel device the protagonist uses, but in Sakurada reset the MacGuffin is the key to all the superpowers.

Summertime Render addpermalink

Small detached community, misterious events, unexplained murders, and time loops are similar traits in both shows. However, I think Summertime Render has better pace and production value.

Tokyo Revengers addpermalink

Both anime revolve around using time travel to prevent people’s untimely deaths. Both anime show how small changes you make in the past can drastically change the future, and how some things just don’t seem to change at all, no matter how many times you try. The difference between them is that YU-NO uses dimension hopping rather than actual time travel, while Tokyo Revengers seemingly uses actual time travel. This is a minor similarity, but both anime have Yuu Hayashi voicing a main character.

Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu addpermalink

The source material for both these shows were ancestors of the modern isekai genre. The YU-NO visual novel came out in 1996, while the Mushoku web novel came out in 2012.Both works were critically acclaimed and commercial successful in their original media. And since their releases, numerous modern isekai works borrowed heavily from both these works. However, their anime adaptations were delayed for a long time, releasing years after many of the isekai anime they inspired.Another similarity is the protagonists. The protagonist in both works are horny perverts. The protagonists of both works thus have a somewhat polarizing reception among modern audiences.A key difference is &nbspread more

In both animes the main characters can go back in time and alter things that they didn't wanted to happen + both passes through traumatic situations.

Domestic na Kanojo addpermalink

ok so kind of a far comparison but i know some poor soul is searching for the same thing i was the similarities lie in the fact that some heroines were "dirtied" in yu-no it would be ayumi and kanna and in domestic kanojo it would be Rui and Hana, kanna is similar to Rui and ayumi similar to Hana, kanna and Rui both kind of gave them selves away in their despair if you will and and ayumi and Hana both getting plowed by guys just using them. besides this there isn't really much in common between the 2 anime and both of these &nbspread more
