Amatsuki
Synopsis:
When Tokidoki Rikugou donned a pair of virtual reality glasses and entered a Bakumatsu-era exhibit at a museum, he had no idea that his life would drastically change. While walking across a bridge in the fabricated reality, Tokidoki ran across a small being and a monster called a nue - and he was promptly attacked. His eye was damaged, but more importantly, Tokidoki discovered that he was now stuck inside the "virtual reality" filled with samurai and spirits. Now, with the help of Kuchiha, a warrior woman possessed by a dog spirit; and Shinonome, a fellow student who has been stuck, just like Tokidoki, for the past two years, Tokidoki must search for the truth behind the nue and try to find a way home.

Yuri becomes the king and Tokidoki just is the hero of the series. Both of these series have plenty of action and a lot of comedy. So, if you like one you'd like the other one.

add recBoth of them are situated on old fashion era of Japan and, of course, there is a Boy that can see spirits.
Somehow both of them, too, are funny and serious. With similar atmosphere and similar songs.
If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.
The main characters, style, and structure of the world are strikingly similar in both series. It's like the crew of one show decided they liked the setting, art style, etc. so much, they decided to make the other, so it definitely feels like one is a continuation of the adventure that the other started.

add recBoth series take place in roughly the same time period, involve the extermination of ayakashi, and address similar themes. However, Amatsuki is a lot more light-hearted and fun than TIAA.
Throught Amatsuki, I was reminded of Tenpou Ibun. Both shows are set in the Edo period, and feature a heavy dose of demons and fantastical battles. Also looking at the political, there is quite a deep story to both.
However, I feel Amatsuki was too rushed and crammed too much into 13 episodes. I know TIAA was also unfinished, but it is far superior in many ways. Therefore this is a one way rec as I really think Amatsuki fans would love TIAA.
InuYasha
Kagome is a normal high school girl who falls into a well, transporting her back in time to the feudal era. Upon her arrival to this world, she mercifully unleashes Inuyasha, a half demon. As if this isn't enough, she also discovers that she is the bearer of the Shikon no Tama, a jewel of great spiritual power, a jewel which has just shattered into a million shards. Now, along with Miroku the priest, Sango the demon hunter, and Shippou the mischievious fox-demon, they must set out to find the Shikon shards and defeat the evils of the demon Naraku.

add recWith both InuYasha and Amatsuki a person (Kagome in InuYasha and Amatsuki in Amatsuki) are pulled into a strange world in the feudal days. Both encounter monsters and demons along the way in which they have to find people to help them defeat the demons and go back to their own world. Each series has the same type of feeling to them.
