add recVVV and MF are supernatural tales with demons and people with superpowers; however, they are also both relatively boring. I strongly preferred VVV to MF, not only for subject matter but also for appearance. Regardless, if you liked one, you may enjoy the other.
Venus Versus Virus and Monochrome Factor follow the same pattern: normal student becomes empowered and fights supernatural creatures with the help with a team. The fact that these monsters possess human victims and that they are unseen by normal humans only adds more to the similarity between these titles. Venus Versus Virus is mostly a serious anime with female leads while Monochrome Factor is heavy on the comedy and with bishies galore.
FLCL
Alt titles: Furi Kuri
Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

add recThe only real reason I can purpose why Monochrome Factor reminded me so much of FLCL is because of Shirogane advances onto Akira like Haruka's advances on Naoto. Both main character's are dragged into a situation they really didn't want to be apart of but are thanks to these mysterous people that popped up out of no where. Shirogane's little acts of seductions (tiny pranks) he pulls on Akira just to annoy him like Haruka does to Naoto just to get him rilled up. Though the plot to it was a bit confusing and really didn't have a point to it, but I think that if you liked Monochrome Factor you might like FLCL or vice versa.

Join Chrno, a young demon, and Sister Rosette, his contractor, as they try to keep the city clean, while confronting the demons (no pun intended) of their past.

add recin both series the main characters (ichigo- bleach Akira - MF) are suddenly dragged into a world they don't know where they are dragged to fight with horrible monsters in order to save their friends and all humans. Great fights and very funny scenes with a lot of action and great twists. All characters have a great friendship beetween them. You'll surely like one if you liked the other.
