Fate/stay night

The Holy Grail War is a battle between seven magicians who each summon a mythical hero to fight for their cause. Shirou, a twice orphaned high school boy, had so little magical talent that his foster father did not bother teaching him about the war and its meaning. Thanks to that lack of foresight, Shirou finds himself in a bit of a pinch when he accidentally summons a hero of the strongest class, and is sucked into the fray. The Grail grants the winner any wish they have. But driven by an unyielding sense of justice and self-sacrifice, for what will Shirou fight?

add recThe two main characters are dragged into a fight they didn't expect. Both series show that the male character does not want to use the main female character as a weapon. Both stories wants to keep the balance of the world. Both series show that other people want to take the female character and use it for themselves. For those who loved the action in Elemental Gelade, you'll love Fate/Stay Night for the action packed series intertwined with romance.
Can you say fighting team? That is just one similarity between Elemental Gelade and Fate/stay night. In both of these shows there is a boy/girl fighting team. To add to that, the boy/girl teams are in a romantic relationship.
Aside from all that, both of these shows have plenty of action and drama. To tell the truth, both of them are must sees for any anime fanatic. If you liked one of them then you would not only like the other, but you must see the other one too!
Although the theme of the animes are quite different, the idea of using somebody else like a "weapon" as "a form" in Elemental Gelade and as a person in Fate/stay night are the same in both animes, the seem to have the same quantity of humor and romance.
If you like either one of these animes, Elemental Gelade or Fate/Stay Night. You must, i repeat MUST catch the other one! Both animes have romance in them and the love they have between the main characters develops as the story goes on.... Will they have a happy ending? Thats for me to know and for you to find out!

add recBoth anime are mainly about embarking on a huge adventure, and the main guy does so for a girl he just met. I found that the cast of characters have about the same traits, and that their choice of comedy has a similar style. Tokyo Underground involves some neat supernatural powers, while Erementar Gerad has plenty of action.
Both of these anime are about a young boy who suddenly finds himself with a strange new power after meeting a cute girl. Both then embark on an adventure because of this. Also both female protagonists are special in some way and thus the target for power hungry antagonists. While the focus is the love between the two protagonists and the attempts of the male to protect the female there is enough humour in both to keep things light at times without being silly and also a good amount of action to prevent things becoming too slushy. Elemental Gelade has a bit more depth to the story but both are deep enough to keep you interested without being too involved.
Elemental Gelade and Tokyo Underground are centered around the male protagonist's desire to protect the enigmatic female.
Both males contain the traits of being incredibly persistent and arduous, yet still ignorant about emotions, relationships and the world in general.
The female counterparts are similary very mysterious; speaking little and appearing pretty much clueless yet inbued with incredible powers.
More so in Elemental Gelade, when both male and female lead are together, their ability to overcome their foes increases dramatically.
Both animes ultimately revolve around the character's emotional journey understanding their feelings for each other as well as the physical journey undertaken protecting each other and the world around them.
Slapstick humour is employed in both to lighten the mood, with action being employed liberally for most episodes.
Main differences is in setting (Tokyo Underground is a mysterious new world), the various relationships between characters, and the motivations for each 'side'.

add recThere are strong protective feelings towards the girl from the boy in both of these anime, and also a sense of love. In both, the girl has some mysterious power and is sought after by enemies.
Both animes are great animes that involve fighting for the ones they love, though one is on a journey to go somewhere and one is on a journey to collect the girl's memories. They also both have romance, fighting, and all the other things that people crave or in an anime. :)

add recIf you liked Elemental Gelade, you would also like Scrapped because they are both great adventures in fantastic worlds, and protecting the ones they love is expressed clearly. The stories are somewhat similar, as well as the animation style (scenery, clothes, and character design).
