Mezzo Forte main image

The deadly Mikura and her friends are usually more than skilled enough to handle the dirty jobs they get, but they find themselves in over their head when they try to abduct the millionaire head of a gigantic crime family!

Both Mezzo Forte and Kite have strong independant, yet lethal lead female characters. The same art style and similarities in plot with both series willb e painfully obvious when you watch them. But if you loved one, you'll love the other.
CheesyP18
It's pretty easy to see the similarities here. If you get the uncut version, each has a little hentai thrown in. If not, the series is still good, the hentai is just for extra bang. So, both Kite and Mezzo Forte have basically the same structure. Girls with guns. In Kite the girl is not so assertive compared to the girl in Mezzo Forte. Even so, you get just about the same feel for both of them, high paced action and some drama.
MechaTama31
Both are made by the same guy, and the similarities will leap out of the screen and smack you in the face. MF is a better show overall, but Kite is well worth a watch.

BABES WITH GUNS!, if it were only that simple, both these animes wouldnt be in this database. On the contrary, both these animes are psychological thrillers, which leave you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. Both Kite and Mezzo are done by the same company with the same animation and graphic style. Though Kite has a stronger more compelling story, Mezzo does the job and follows through with a entertaining plot and a surprising finish.

Mezzo Forte and Kite focus as much on the violence and sex as they do on the plot. It you are in the mood to indulge your primitive side Mezzo Forte and Kite will both satisfy.

freakzilla

It is hard to come by two anime that are this alike. Be it the ass-kicking babes, the overly violent nature, the psychological extra value to the plot or even the hentai scenes; everything makes Mezze Forte a perfect match for Kite. You are bound to like both or hate both!

styln

Both Kite and Mezzo Forte are very similar; they have a dangerous female lead that can kick lots of ass. They also have a similar animation style and are both extremely violent and sexually explicit. These two titles are definitely not meant for children.

TheGiftedMonkey

Very similar series with teenage hitwomen. Blood, violence, and in some cases hardore sex abound. These movies are must watches for action lovers. Just don't watch them while your parents are around. ;D

Oehr

Both series are taking place in the same universe. You can even see Sawa from A Kite appearing in Mezzo Forte. Both series are directed by Yasuomi Umetsu and you'll notice this right away: neo-noir, thriller, badasses, and many many more similarities. Be sure to check out both!

like Kite, Perfect Blue is another twisted thriller anime, with an intense plot and some good violence and suspense. If you liked one, you will probably enjoy the other.

Something about Kite reminds me of Perfect Blue, and I'm not sure why. The animation style is similar, but more than that... they both have the same gritty dark feel to them, and are equally as engaging. Check it out.
edgeofthesea

I don't know what it is about Kite and Perfect Blue that fits so well together, but I know they do. I guess they're both in the "grim and gritty" category for me. You should definitely check them out.

freakzilla

Because both have a twisted plot and some extreme violence, a dark and gloomy atmosphere prevails in both Perfect Blue and Kite. Both give us a realistic and scary view on harsh topics.

JunkieCosmonaut

Though the storylines are different, they both include the same elements that make them so much alike. Murder, gore, suspense, disturbing/graphic scenes, and unexpected plot twists. You're sure to like them both.

Noir

Both serie shave a bit same the genre, though while Kite has some hentai scenes in it, the story isn't all that bad. If you don't mind the Hentai scenes and like Noir, you'll probably liek Kite. If you are looking for a similar story like Kite, but without the hentai scenes, you'll probably like Noir
aldat
Firstly, I must say I didn't much like Kite, it was a bit too hentai. You won't find that in Noir and this isn't the only difference between the series. Still, in both of them, the killing is beautiful. The animation is different, but great in both. Noir and Kite tell of people that has grown to live a bit outside the society and their attemps to feel like normal human beings can sometimes make your heart ache. The themes behind the story are similar, but the atmosphere is not.
NekoRocket
Assassins removing the disreputable elements from society are a like theme in Noir and Kite. The female protagonists use their skills to keep creeps from continuing their reigns of terror. Dark and somewhat sobering, both of these are very powerful anime to watch.

Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied main image

For Kouta and Yuka, finding the bloody naked young girl on the beach would change their lives forever, for better or for worse. Unable to speak or function as a normal human being, she is named Nyuu by the duo, and taken into their home in an effort to save her. But what neither teenager knows is that this innocent young girl is actually a killing machine -- an experiment gone terribly wrong -- and it is only a matter of time before the murderer in her awakens again...

Kite and Elfen Lied both feature strong, independent, and lethal female leads. Kite has some hentai in it (especially if you get the director's cut), but Elfen Lied has a ton of non-sexual nudity (fanservice or art? you decide). Both lead females seem like killing machines. As you begin to see their backgrounds, you start understanding why they are so brutal and seemingly uncaring.

ForgottenSon

The most important similarities between Elfen Lied and Kite are their extremely gory nature, as well as both shows being centered around strong, deadly female characters, driven by their unhappy, violent pasts. If you enjoyed the shocking violence and tormented lead character of one of these anime, there's a strong chance you'll like the other.

Khaos

In spite of many differences the animes both uses girls to display their scenes of blood and gore in a too realistic and straightforward way that it can be shocking for the weak of heart.

Both anime deal with the vile world of assassination and using teenagers to do it. Both have lots of action too. And finally, both delve into the relationship between the two teen killers. Just know that Kite is for more mature audiances.

djcurry

Both get into the nitty gritty details of real life. The main characters in both are assassins. They are also both brainwashed/controled by other people.

games4yosoul

Both Kite and Phantom deal with young assassins who are emotionally disconnected but slowly become "human" again. Both shows deal with mature themes although kite is much more so than Phantom.
