Utawarerumono

"Utawarerumono" and "Juuni Kokki" have many similarities that makes it probable that a fan of either series would like the other as well. Both take place in a pseudo-medeival fantasy world where wars are common. Both of them focus more on politics, and the difficulties of being a ruler than most series of the same genre (JK even more so than U). Both of them also offer a great variety of interesting characters, that keep the viewer coming back for more. Their biggest differences are that JK has a slightly more serious tone to it. (In fact U feels a bit like a crossover between JK & "Inuyasha" - more lighthearted than JK, but more serious than I.) Also U is more straightforward than JK storywise (probably due to the 26 ep format).

Juuni Kokki(The Twelve Kingdoms) and Utawarerumono are alike because of their feudal-era japan settings with a magical element mixed in. They are also very battle oriented and deal with main characters who don't know what to do in a world that they don't feel like they belong in. If you like one, you'll like the other.

you would like this anime because in both anime a rather mature protagonist becomes involved in a new and fascinating world.

If you enjoyed watching Hakuoro's trials and hardships as he learns to lead his people, then chances are, you will also enjoy watching the many intricacies of being an Emperor in the wonderfully crafted world of Juuni Kokki. Perhaps because it is a longer anime, Juuni Kokki's fantasy world is much more detailed and well thought-out than that of Utawarerumono. As such, Juuni Kokki also shows politicking, history, conflicts and war in much greater detail, leading to an overall very enjoyable 45 episodes of kingdom leadership. One caveat: despite its high level of intricacy, Juuni Kokki is an incomplete work - the author moved on to write other stories, and the anime was forced to abruptly stop at Episode 45.

12 Kingdoms and Utewarerumono are beautifully crafted fantasy series set in magical worlds in the style of feudal Japan. Both tell the story of a central protagonist who is to become ruler of a land at war, and are desperately needed by the people to maintain peace. What makes both stories that much more interesting is that the focal protagonists are unaware of just how important they are and the mysteries of their origins, which play a large role in the decisions they are to make and the their abilities as leaders. As you have followed one on a magical journey of self discovery, you will in the other.

Fantasy connects us all! If you need more of that imagination-creation the first series of these two set your mind adrift with, you are bound to find more in the other too! The series are quite similar, and yet worlds apart (literally)!

Both have a nice story with very nice, noble and powerful characters. Also you will find in both great elements of super powers and battles between kingdoms respectively realms. So both are nice to watch (and also good ending) animes which have quite a lot in common...

Both of those animes speak of characters that find themselves in a world the know nothing about. After wondering around a bit, they both gain the position as a city leader. Facing many wars, affairs and intrigues they choose to take part of it all, instead of safely sitting on their given throne. Various adventures will occur that way. If you liked one of them for those reasons, you'd surely like the other one.

Even though the setting in both series is different they give the viewer the very similar feeling. A cross between historic setting and epic story-telling both stories are certain to attrack the same audience. Concidering the fact that both series have a similar character development and a plethora of characters, chances are that if you liked the one you will also like the other.

After watching either one of them and hungry for more epic battles? Than you should watch the other one be it Utawarerumono or Juuni Kokki. Both animes have wars where words cannot express it so you will have to watch it for yourself. Both also involves a journey of the main character where they develop themselves to find out the mysteries of their life and the world.

Both series have political character. Both are about governing the country, understanding peoples' needs. If you liked one because of learning how to rule, how to oppose those who follow they own interest, you would surely like the other. Moreover, both series are based on legends and take place in medieval surroundings.

Both of these series were chalked full of excelent fight scenes, millitary stratigy and come from behind victorys. Each had a loveable hero (OK, mabey not guts) and vile enimies allong with a quest of donination and a rise to the top.

Utawarerumono and Berserk are fairly similar anime series. Both shows are chalked full of hack and slash warfare, endless campaigns, and elements of blood and guts violence. Plot wise they have little to do with each other, but they are similar in the general themes of camaraderie, demonic possession, and the horrors of war in general. Berserk was about the ultimate depth of Griffith's ambition and Guts trying to find his place in that world. Utawarerumono is about a man with no memory carving out a new place in the world through warfare and government. I'd say at some level both series are about making peace with yourself and having the courage to carve out your own future. Admittedly Utawarerumono is sort of like Berserk-lite but I still think it fans of either should try watching them both.

Both share a characteristic that make these animes great. A rich universe with very good character development!

Both share a 'medieval' setting and feature large scale progressive battles while following the main characters who orchestrate said battles.

"Utawarerumono" and "Inuyasha" have many similarities that makes it probable that a fan of either series would like the other as well - and it's more than just doggie-ears. ;-) Both take place in a pseudo-medeival fantasy world where wars are common. Both of them also offer a great variety of interesting characters, that keep the viewer coming back for more. Their biggest differences are that U has a slightly more serious tone to it. (In fact U feels a bit like a crossover between "Juuni Kokki" & I - more lighthearted than JK, but more serious than I.) The fighting in I is more individualistic (two small groups of hardcore fighters - more or less detached from their environment - clash), whereas U focuses more on kingdoms, politics and regular armies fighting (even though it has its fair share of heroes as well). Also U is a lot more straightforward and filler-free (because it didn't drag out for 167 eps).

Inuyasha and Utawarerumono both deal with a mystical/feudal japanese era story. Each of these stories is very action oriented with a mix of drama. In Utawarerumono, every character has animal ears like the demons of Inuyasha. These stories are closely related in many aspects, if you like one, you're going to like the other.

InuYasha and Utawarerumono are fantasy anime that take place in a quasi-medieval setting in which fighting and major battles play a very important role. In both the protagonist ends up gathering an unlikely band of companions that help him in his adventures. InuYasha is heavier on the comedy and ends up running into fillers while Utawarerumono is a tight production that is essentially serious. It is interesting to note that both have human-like characters with animal ears.
