This Ugly Yet Beautiful World

Synopsis:
One day a light descends from the sky and splits into the ideal girls of Takeru and Ryou. That is where this gentle and vaguely romantic story about our ugly and beautiful world begins. Soon enough the story plummets into the secrets of global extinction and the meaning of life. Everything in this world that is beautiful has something ugly in it, and that ugliness is part of the secret of its beauty. Even for romance this is true...

add recImagine an anime that is very similar to This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (the story, characters, and ecchi), but include indescribable gore; that's exactly what Elfen Lied is. Watch it if you dare. ;)
P.S. Oh I almost forgot, both of these shows have very nice and catchy OP songs. ^^
Both of the series has cute girls with power to destroy, they are both amzing and im sure you'll enjoy both of them if you enjoy naked women, super powers, and total badassery.
Both of these fantastic anime start off with similar story lines. The girl who forgot her past, for whatever reason, now must depend on the kind hearted man with the troubled past to take care of her until all the secrets from her past are revealed. However, each anime has enough of a unique twist that it is worth investing in them both.
Elfen Lied and This Ugly Yet Beautiful World are a perfect pair. In both we have non-human female characters with a dual personality and a potential for being highly destructive that suddenly find themselves surrounded by humans. With no memory of the past, these girls provide the drama with plenty of nudity along the way. This Ugly Yet Beautiful World had many comic moments that eventually give way to deeper reflections while Elfen Lied is known for its violent content and emotional tragedy.

If you liked either of these anime, Mahoromatic or This Ugly, then it is more than likely that the similarities in the other will appeal to you. Also both of these anime have virtually the same crew working on them.

add recWhat will happen if you fall in love with weapon of mass destruction... Both series answer this question in very diffrent way and if you like one, another will probably be even better...
Saikano and This Ugly Yet Beautiful World have in common the theme of star-crossed love between a boy and a girl who is a weapon. In both the fate of the world is at stake and its impending destruction. With this said, Saikano is an exercise in tragedy both at a personal and wider scales with a subdued artwork while This Ugly Yet Beautiful World has plenty of comedy and offers plenty of nudity even though it eventually veers into deeper reflections.

add recThese animes are similar because they both take a look at the beatiful aspects of life, as well as the darker ones. As well, both animes leave you with a sort of bitter-sweet feeling.
