El Cazador de la Bruja

While Noir and El Cazador are not a sequel/prequel of each other, they are both made by the same team and share the theme of "girls with guns". If you like the animation, story and music of one of these series, you will definitely like the other one.

As far as differences, El Cazador is quieter and less action-packed, and Nadie is not a "superhero" like Mireille. Also, Ellis looks more lively than Kirika.

Both of these anime have the same theme: girls with guns. You also get the same feeling from them, and the music is quite similar (both are done by Yuki Kajiura).

In Noir, the girls earn their living by killing targets as assasins, and in El Cazador as bouty hunters. They're not the same, but still quite similar. The girls in these two anime are always in danger and must fight against many foes, using guns as their weapons.

Both Noir and El Cazador were created by the same team and have the same theme: girls with guns. Once you watch one and pick up the other, you'll see the similarity.

These two anime both feature two heroins attempting to understand themselves so as to better understand their futures. Most importantly though, these two shows are part of Bee Train's, Girls with Guns trilogy. The two shows, more in Noir than in El Cazador, the two females must look within to decide whom they wish to be and if they are willing to fight for those identities. I strongly recommend one if you have already seen the other.

Both series are made by the same team (Bee Train). They are part of the "girls with guns trilogy" and both have a great soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura.

The similarities between Noir and El Cazador are vast, yet fresh for each series (perhaps because of the animation, not sure). Overall each series is episodic in nature with final goal in mind, it's 2 women in a senpai<->kohai relationship, with the younger having stronger latent abilities than the senior, and last, but not least, the music. If you like the action/drama musical score of either series, you'll love it in the other. It compliments both shows quite well for their episodic nature.

Both shows have the same makers and the same theme in mind, girls with guns. Two female protagonists are on a journey of discovery, gun in hand and mysterious foes doing everything they can to hinder them. From the animation to the music and to the bloodless violence these shows fit into each others shadow like a glove. The only difference worth mentioning is that each show strived to reach a different flavor, this they certainly achieved.

Two girls, one with a gun, one still quite young, fleeing their agressors. Locations based on Mexico. The main difference is Michiko to Hatchin seems to lack the supernatural elements of El Cazador.

Both shows are set in Latin America and revolve around two girls: an young, inexperienced and naive one and an older, competent one who protects her. However, where El Cazador is lighter and more supernatural, Michiko to Hatchin attempts to be realisitic and, at times, grim.

A classic theme in storytelling is that of mortal people dabbling in the supernatural, with disastrous consequences. Sometimes, old magics best left alone are stirred, and sometimes, science stretches its hand too far. Always, always, there is a villain -- someone who is determined not only to continue the process, but to use it for his own twisted, vain or evil purposes. No matter the price to other people.

This is a major plot element in both Ayashi no Ceres and El Cazador de la Bruja, and if you find it interesting in one, you may comfortably expect to recognise similar traits in the other.
