- Spring 2007
A giant wall looms over Tokyo, shielding the city from a dangerous otherworld called the 'Hell's Gate'. Within the city, things are no less terrifying because Contractors, psychopathic killers with phenomenal powers, have started to appear. These killers are compelled to pay a price every time they use their powers, often in the form of a meaningless or painful task. As their deadly habits rack up a gruesome death toll, Kirihara Misaki and her team from the Foreign Affairs Public Security struggle to solve the cases and bring the Contractors under control. Their task is further confounded by the interference of a masked individual they title Messier Code BK201, a man with abilities that allow him to fight and defeat the Contractors. Who is this BK201? How can the Contractors be stopped permanently? And what does the appearance of the Hell's Gate mean for the people of Tokyo?

3 people think you'd like this because...
add recThey both have that supernatural feel. Using the supers for either good or evil. thats it for now because i need to finish Persona (can't wait).
If you like either one you will like the other since both have a dark feeling to them as well as involving people who have some sort of special power. Also the setup as having several different parties who all have to figure what is going on is much alike with both series.
Both animes have this dark and gritty setting, where the protagonist wants to find something about their siblings (though in P:TS's case, the older one).

add recAction, adventure and fight scenes are aplenty in both of these shows.
Karas is much more polished and has some of the best CG currently in use in the anime world. The story does seem a little confusing at first, and requires you to stay on top of the action, but is well worth it in the end.
Persona is based on a series of PlayStation games, and so may appeal more to the fanboys of the series. However, it is still an excellent stand alone series (I have not played the games personally, and still enjoyed it).
They could both be categorised as verging on mech, but not in a Gundam kind of way. It is much more enjoyable and focusses more on the magic of the show. If you enjoy one, I'm pretty sure you'll have fun with the other.
Ayakashi
- TV (12 eps)
- 2007 - 2008
- Winter 2008
After witnessing a rare summer snow with his friends, Kusaka Yuu begins to develop supernatural abilities. Years afterwards, he finds himself the target of powerful beings, and learns that his powers are due to the "ayakashi," parasitic organisms that grant special abilities in exchange for a portion of the host's life force. The conflict turns treacherous as Yuu’s friends’ lives also become threatened, and he learns the truth behind the loss of his dear friend, Izumi. Will Yuu free himself from the ayakashi, or will he succumb to the temptation of power?

add recBoth series are about people with special abilities which are a part of their body. They both use them to fight the bad guys and try to change the world for better. In both the main characters have to pay enormous price for being able to release their inner monsters, what often leads them to the edge of death.
