Like St. Luminous Mission High School, Spiral is another great mystery anime. It does have much better animation quality and an intriguing storyline. If you were a fan of Mission High, give Spiral a try!

Spiral is another mystery series which keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It also has much better animation/colors than St Luminous.

Ayatsuri Sakon and St Luminous are both good if you like the detective work. St. Luminous has a definite plot that maintains itself through the course of the series, while Ayatsuri Sakon is more arc-based with random murder mysteries. The quality of animation in AS is definitely better. Both feature fantastic music.

These are two fairly decent mystery series. They have a very similar atmosphere as well compelling stories. Ayatsuri Sakon is a "touch" more violent however, so if you are squeemish, you have been warned.

The feeling I get from St. Luminous Mission High School and Kare Kano is quite similar for some reason. The atmosphere is also the same. Although Kare Kano is mostly just relationships, Luminous actually has a full plot.

Comic Party

Comic Party main image

This show is centered around Doujinshi (Fan Manga). Kazuki is a senior in high school, who doesn't really know what to do with his future. His friend Taishi drags him into the world of Doujinshi, where he tries to make and sell his Doujinshi to the masses and learn what it really means to be a real Doujinshi artist.

St. Luminous Mission High School and Comic Party aren't very similar, but they're unique in that there aren't many series like it out there. Comic Party isn't as involved however as Mission High. If you liked one of these series, give the other a try.

Ruin Explorers

Alt titles: Hikyou Tanken Fam & Ihrlie

Ruin Explorers main image

Ihrie and Fam are just two of the many explorers searching ruins for something called the 'ultimate power'. With the 'ultimate power' the owner has the ability to have any wish granted. Of course all the explorers have different motives for finding this relic, ranging from revenge on a curse-casting mentor, to saving a kingdom from utter destruction.

Trying to find the ultimate power and not actually knowing what it is until the last 10 minutes of the series in Ruin Explorers is very similar to how Luminous doesn't give away the mystery behind the disappearances. These are also quite comical which is always a plus.
