Monochrome Factor
Synopsis:
Though the world may seem to be a normal place, in the midst of shadows lies the supernatural and terrifying. Beings from the shadow world known as Kokuchi have begun to invade the human world, and it’s up to certain people to defeat them; Akira Nikaido is one such person. Though his life used to be ordinary, one day, the bishounen and affectionate Shirogane asked Akira to form a pact with him; and consequently, Akira became Shirogane’s shadow partner. Together, the two hunt down stray Kokuchi – but more importantly, Akira must fend off Shirogane’s advances and try to make his classes!

Fifteen-year-old Ichigo Kurasaki is a typical teen with fighting skills, two caring sisters and a special trait: he can see ghosts. However, when Ichigo and his family find themselves under attack by a huge beast, Ichigo discovers that there’s more to the supernatural world than the everyday specter. Vengeful spirits known as Hollows roam the world in search of devouring souls, and Shinigami – soul reapers – work tirelessly to defeat them and guide normal ghosts into a place called Soul Society. Ichigo valiantly fights the Hollow that threatens his sisters, but on the verge of defeat a Shinigami named Rukia gives him her powers, turning him into a Shinigami himself. Ichigo must now adjust to his new life of both vanquishing and saving souls for the sake of Soul Society.

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.
Both the series contain supernatural enomanies, that both main characters must battle to protect the world from. Both the main characters (Akira and Ichigo) meet a mysterious and strange person one day fallowing afterwards an event that transforms them, and that will change them and the world as they see forever.
In both series, main character meets a strange person, obtains superpowers, discovers that there is another, "magical" part of our world and has to fight with weird monsters.
Except for the plot similarities, in each there is also a lot of humour, so I'm sure like them both ;)

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.

add recFighting in worlds other than their own is one aspect that makes these two anime so similar. One day the main characters suddenly find themselves running for their life in an alternate dimension but eventually come back. Also the characters find out the truth about themselves, but it's nothing that they would have ever thought of. These aspects make them all the more exciting and suspenseful.
Monochrome Factor and 11eyes have similarities in the battle aspect: monsters from another world are attacking, and the characters have their own special item that allows them to fight these monsters. The plot in 11eyes is heavier than that of Monochrome Factor, but you just might like one if you liked the other.
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.
Chrono Crusade
It is the early 1920s, and New York City has a problem of evil proportions -- demons. With devil worshipping on the rise, foul spirits and monsters have begun to surface, causing fear and panic. Now, it is up to two members of Magdala Monastery's professional exorcist squad to help bring peace to the city, and destroy the demons with God's power (and bullets!). 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.
