Tears to Tiara
Synopsis:
Rhiannon is the fair and gentle daughter of a village chief. Unfortunately for her, she's also exactly the sort of maiden who is needed as a sacrifice to wake the Demon King Arawn from his thousand-year slumber and is soon kidnapped for this very purpose. However, when Arawn is summoned, he decides to spare Rhiannon's life, instead killing her captor and freeing her from mind control. Taken with his kindness, Rhiannon immediately decides to marry the Demon King, making him the new village chief. All of this is bad news for Rhiannon's protective but hot-headed brother Arthur, who must now pledge his knightly service to his new Lord, Arawn. Together the three of them must journey and together they must fight, encountering new friends and new foes along the way.

Utawarerumono
- TV (26 eps)
- 2006
A man awakens in an unfamiliar room, with no recollection of who he is or where he came from. His wounds have been bandaged, and his face is covered with a mask that he cannot remove. With nowhere to go, he decides to stay with his rescuers and help them when needed, waiting for his memory to return. Though his courage, skill, and wisdom quickly gain him the villagers’ respect, the same traits soon land him in hot water with the local feudal lord. Not one to back away from injustice, the path he must follow will lead him to confront his enemies, and his hidden past.

add recIn both shows, the main protaganist, through a series of events, have gained leadership of a small village, whether they like it or not. Both protagonists also have an air of mystery surrounding who they are and what they are. The main protaganists are surrounded by a cast of beautiful badass babes. As they forge on ahead in their quest for independence from their tyrannical rulers, they discover who they are, what they must do, and and learn the effects of their actions.
These two anime are both very similar in many ways. First being the technology setting, both take place in an era where swords and bows are used as primary weapons of war. Magic is also commonplace in both anime. The anime are based off Eroge games, so both male protagonists are surrounded by lots of women. Both protagonists are intelligent tactical commanders, who end up becoming head of a tribe (despite their will) and are immediately thrusted into a war. Action is very abundant in both with some comedy thrown in for the lighter moods. Both are made by OLM Incorporated so the visual style of both are a lot alike.
The two series are very similiar with each other. The main theme in both is a medieval setting where the male lead takes charge of a village and tries to see it through the difficult times ahead. They both focus on the larger setting of things, rather than the hero and his merry band, invloving a lot of "political" plots and background. Also the male lead in both series is covered by a mysterious story/origin and is surronded by a handful of women.
Utawarerumono is what Tears to Tiara could have been, if it hadn't fallen into the depths of mediocrity. If you still liked Tears to Tiara, you will love Utawarerumono, since it's executed 10x better.
Both feature a charismatic, and powerful leader, suddenly appearing from nowhere and seizieng power for the sake of people he care about. Both characters lead their tribe to war with much stronger enemy.Both Arawn and Hakuoro past is mysterious, and it's explained in the latter half of the show.
In both shows there are some army struggles, yet the deciding advantage comes from powerful heroes gathered around main character. Also in both shows final enemy has similar mindset and methods.
Both anime are based on a RPG game by Leaf and they have many similar themes: a fantasy medieval setting and a protagonist with a mysterious past who is the leader of his country and is surrounded by many girls and a few guys who accompany him in his adventures and they defend their country from anyone who wants to conquer it.
Rurouni Kenshin

add recAt first the two movies might not look like they have much in common, since their stories and genres seem quite different, but they do.
First of all the main character is in both the nearly unbeatable type, that has to fight enemies of his past and live with old sins. One is called Hitokiri (killer) and the other one Mao (demon king).
Moreover they both have plenty of sword fighting and action.
Finally they are both about creating a better world for those you love. Both main characters try to protect the weak and fight against the idea of the weaker being unworthy of living.
All in all I think these two Animes have a very similar feeling to them

add recIf you liked one, you'd like the other. They both have a sort of feel where the people are just going on with their normal life when this other person comes into the picture and totally changes their life. If that made any sense to you, you'll know that you'll like the other anime :)
