Zero no Tsukaima
- TV (13 eps)
- 2006
In a world where magic is a reality, the young Louise is at the bottom of her class. Dubbed "Zero" by her classmates at Tristein Academy (due to her zero success rate for magic), Louise (along with all first year students) was charged with summoning a familiar; and instead of a cute magical creature, the familiar arrived in the form of... Saito Hiraga, a normal Japanese boy who was abruptly teleported from his own world?! Can both Louise and Saito come to terms with their new and complicated "relationship" and (more importantly) help Saito find a way home?

add recBoth stories involve the main girl who wants to make the main guy her servant which never works out. As the anime progresses, they build a lot better relationships.
Both series have tsundere type female leads, whom make unwilling servants out of the male lead. Over time both master and servant grow to love one another and the servant begins to want to protect his master/love intrest. Both series deal with the female lead being magical and both share a similar romanic comedy with a good bit of action and magic to make both series a solid adventure and over all plot outside of the romance. BOTTOM LINE: If you enjoyed one you will enjoy the other. At the very least one will remind you of the other.
For all you guys who wanted a kawaii girl to think she's got her claws into you, these two animes are just right for you. Louise and Hazuki share lots of charming dominance for you to enjoy!
Karin
Karin is a vampire, but as fate would have it she is a freak among her own kind; for Karin doesn’t drink the blood of her counterparts – she is cursed to be a blood maker, forcing her to inject her extra blood into her victims. What’s worse is that if she doesn’t find an outlet for the blood in time, it explodes in a massive nose bleed of impressive volume. In Karin's twisted day-going state, she finds it nearly impossible to find safe victims; so, nose bleeds are a major problem. When transfer student and new classmate Usui Kenta proves to have exactly the kind of emotions her vampire nature most enjoys, she finds herself in comedic dire straights!

add recKarin and Moonphase are anime that show us that vampires can be cute! Both series are romantic comedies with vampire-human relationships. The humor is similar in both; they mainly focus on the vampires' need for human blood for survival. So if you liked one you will probably like the other.
Both anime tell the story of a girl who is a vampire going against vampire laws. Each heroine eventually meets a boy who will make her life more interesting, taking her away from her family's standards and protecting her from the outside world. Both anime also have a romantic tendency, and deal with the impossible love between a vampire and a human. In different ways, these two series contain lots of comical situations caused by the vampire's behavior.
If you liked Tsukuyomi -Moon Phase- you'd also like: Karin or vice versa; both anime's feature a heroine that are cute and not creepy which is usually the case in most stereotypical vampire stories, in addition both main characters are somehow different from normal vampires.

add recTsukihime is another anime that deals with vampires and romance. The plot is somewhat alike: the female vampire is being chased and needs protection from a weaker human male. Tsukuyomi is more innocent, but it really does have quite a few similarities.
Fate/stay night
- TV (24 eps)
- 2006
The Holy Grail War is a battle between seven magicians who each summon a mythical hero to fight for their cause. Shirou, a twice orphaned high school boy, had so little magical talent that his foster father did not bother teaching him about the war and its meaning. Thanks to that lack of foresight, Shirou finds himself in a bit of a pinch when he accidentally summons a hero of the strongest class, and is sucked into the fray. The Grail grants the winner any wish they have. But driven by an unyielding sense of justice and self-sacrifice, for what will Shirou fight?

add recFate/stay Night and Tsukuyomi Moon Phase are both stories about a strong female, and the male that tries to support her, despite his incapability to do so. Feelings of love and despair develop throughout their battles.
The majority of scenes in both anime take place at night, with atmospheric music and dark colors.
Put simply, both anime have a "darker" atmosphere (or "feel") to them which creates a similar feel.
If you like dark color palettes and/or the nighttime, these anime are for you.
FLCL
Alt titles: Furi Kuri
Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

add rec"FLCL" and "Moon Phase" both take would-be familiar anime tropes and rearrange them with tongue firmly in cheek. Though Moon Phase does try to be genuinely sweet and sentimental at times and FLCL doesn't give a f**k, both series are all about mixing it up. FLCL: a fighting robot comes out of a boy's head... to mainly watch birds and do housework. Moon Phase: bitten by a mysterious vampire-girl?... give her a set of neko-ears and put her to work in your grandpa's store. yup.
