Ever since they met, emotionless Hotaru and ditzy Mikanhave been best friends, and are virtually inseparable-- that is, until Hotaru is invited to attend a strange school far away, a school for those who have special abilities known as "Alice". Unable to be separated from her friend, Mikan soon sets out on a mission to find her. After traveling to a city far away, she finds Hotaru at last, but gets much more than she bargained for. Now, she is lost in a school full of kids with strange powers, unusual animals, and has secured an immediate rivalry with the toughest little punk in town!
Each of these series have a similar setting: An advanced school focused on bringing up espers/alices while revolving around a ranking system and keeping the children in the given city/school. Both of these series are rather light hearted and based mainly on slice of lifey comedy with some action thrown in.
they both deal with kids whohave esp/alice power and go to a special school. they aboth are also have slice of life feel with comedy thrown in making that much better
Arika Yumemiya is a poor yet energetic girl who has come to the city to become an Otome – a female warrior with the power to match an entire army. She quickly befriends her irritable fellow student Nina Wong and Princess Mashiro, the queen-to-be. With the help of her mysterious benefactor and abundant natural talent, she’s able to overcome the trials of everyday life in the competitive Garderobe Academy, but darker schemes are afoot. How will her new friendships fare, when secrets of the past and present are brought forth to spark a fight for the crown, and more?
Mai-Otome and To Aru Kaguka no Railgun both feature brightly coloured animation with an almost all-female cast. They both spend a lot of time on character-growth episodes as well as exuding the feeling that something bad is around the corner. If that is not enough to convince you that if you watched one you will like the other, then the fact that the girls in each series have superpowers certainly will.
Each of these series are action/humor hybrids centered around a largely female cast of super powered school aged-kids. With character development taking a main role, just a touch of fan-service, and many few issues with morality (should I do X to become strong/win/what have you) it is hard not so see these anime connecting with one another.
Have a problem? Talk to Otogi Bank, a student aid group that helps people get what they need – for a hefty price. Led by Liszt Kiriki and staffed by tsundere Ryouko, inventor Majolica, jealous Otohime, flirtatious Tarou, serious Alice, nervous Ryoushi and maid Otsuu, Otogi Bank assists with everything from helping break into a rival school to convincing an upperclassman to not quit a sports team. Can Otogi Bank manage to make all their clients happy, and most importantly, will Ryoushi ever manage to win Ryouko’s heart?
Each of these series focus around a group of people in school, but not a regular school. While Railgun focuses around a comedy/action series in a town full of super powered children and Ookami focuses around a comedy (with just a bit of action) high school group doing things that aren't usually found in a normal high school. Ookami also has a bit of romance, which Railgun is mostly missing.
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun makes a cameo appearence in Ookami-san. Indication from the anime producers themselves. They are similar.
Ran Isozaki is a typical middle school student with a typical crush on her childhood friend Rui, and a not-so-typical ability: she has just discovered that she has the power of telepathy! Though she'd rather be finding ways to get Rui's attention, Ran finds herself in the middle of sinister supernatural situations; but she's not alone! Joining Ran is the cocky and beautiful Naha Midori, a fellow telepath who has just transferred to Ran's school. Together, Ran, Naha and Rui will experience the joys of middle school, and the perils of the supernatural!
Telepathy Shoujo Ran and Railgun follow schoolkids with special powers and overall have a similar tone and feel. Try it out!
Both anime have school kids with special powers. In Telepathy Shoujo Ran it is kept a secret from others where in To Aru Kagaku no Railgun they are actually in school to make their powers better. Both have similar love hate characters and just wonder on to episode to episode not really going anywhere. Check one out if you liked the other.
In the town of Sakurashin, demons and humans live together in harmony; and to help transition its new members, the Youkai Life Consultation Office provides support and guidance. Its members contain mind reading, cat-eared Ao, strong and beautiful Hime, conjurer Kotoha, and Akina - a human with the ability to vanquish the souls of harmful demons. Together, the quartet will help the town stay safe and try to keep the peace between humans, demons, and those who would harm them.
Railgun and Yozakura Quartet aren't exactly the same, but both involves a group of people protecting a 'magical' type of city and helping out its residents. I got the same 'meh' feeling from both as well.
Both anime have children protecting a town with their superpowers. Both have annoying and lovable characters too. Very similar art style as well. If you liked one check out the other.
