Letter Bee TV
Alt titles: Tegami Bachi TV
Synopsis:
In Amberground, the land of eternal twilight, Letter Bees and their dingos – creatures trained to protect them – deliver mail to the general populace. However, unlike normal mail carriers, their job is perilous as they must traverse the country while fighting off the giant armored insects known as Gaichuu. One day, a Letter Bee named Gauche collects his latest delivery: a young boy named Lag Seeing, whose mother was taken under mysterious circumstances to the capital of Akatsuki. As the pair travels together, they strike up a friendship, but when they finally reach their destination Lag and Gauche part ways.

D.Gray-man
An akuma is a soul which has been brought back to life through sadness and despair with the powers of Millenium Earl. Their mission is to terrorize the earth and all who dwell within it. The Black Order is a group of Exorcists that have sworn to cleanse the souls of the akuma, and collect the substance known as "innocence". This powerful substance can be used as an anti-akuma weapon, and ultimately can help destroy the evil Millenium Earl. Allen Walker is a young Exorcist who has the ability to tell who is human and who is an akuma with the help of his cursed eye. Together with the Black Order, Allen must find all 109 pieces of innocence to protect the world and defeat Earl.

add recBoth are shounen animes, featuring a young, white haired boy, with very special right eye. While they are completely different character, they both decide to join an elite organisation, partially due to influence of their mentor (or teacher in D.Gray case).
In both animes enemies are some sort of weird and dengerous "machine like "creatures (at least at the beginning of the show). In both cases the only way to defeat them is by using the special power (amber in Letter Bee, innocence in D.Gray )
Though completely different in their narrative, both D.Gray-Man and Letter Bee have a very similar feel about them. Both share a similar sort of comedic content, though it is a lot more prevalent in D.Gray-man. If you enjoyed one, then you might want to check out the other.
Shigofumi
- TV (12 eps)
- 2008
- Winter 2008
There are some things that can only be said after death. Aided by a talking staff that thinks it is alive, Fumika delivers Shigofumi, the last words and feelings of the dead in the form of letters, to their addressees. Whether they are letters of apology, revenge, or simply a final farewell, she always brings them to their destination. Delivering Shigofumi is not always an easy job; as some people refuse to believe such things as letters from the dead are possible, while others are afraid of what these letters might contain. But the mail must go through; what the recipients decide to do with it afterwards is up to them.

add recBoth Letter Bee and Shigofumi are about mil carriers with a difference. While one is set in a fictional world, and the other in modern day Japan, both place heavy focus on delivering heartfelt emotions to people who will be unable to see their loved ones for one reason or another. If you enjoyed this about one, then it's well worth trying the other.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Alt titles: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (2009)
- TV (32+ eps)
- 2009 - ?
- Spring 2009
The foundation of alchemy is based on the law of equivalent exchange; you cannot produce something from nothing. As such, alchemy is bound by one taboo - human transmutation. Four years ago two young brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, broke this taboo when they tried to resurrect their dead mother. During the process Al's body disintegrated and Ed lost his leg. In a desperate attempt to prevent his brother from disappearing completely, Ed sacrificed one of his arms so he could affix Al's soul to a suit of armor. When his missing limbs are replaced by auto mail parts, Ed bears the name of the Fullmetal Alchemist - the youngest ever State Alchemist and dog of the military. Now, alongside his brother, Ed uses his status within the military to attempt to find any way that he can return their bodies back to their original state.

add recBoth are shounen shows with unique fantasy world setting. While they are very different, they also share many similarities. They both manage to skillfully mix adventure/comedy parts with more darker tunes. Both worlds are strictly controled and have a large gap between different "casts" ( militaristic regime and Ishbalan oppresion in FMA, 3 different standards of living and strict way of enforcing the status quo in Letter Bee).
Also in both shows main character joins an organisation, which is looked down upon as a "dogs of the government (State Alchemists in FMA and Letter Bees in Letter Bee).
While both shows have their unique stories, the overall mood and quality is similar - if you like one, you should also enjoy the other.
