Vampire Knight

The female charactors in both these have a traggic past but still put up a brave front and dont let it get them down or stop them moveing forward in life, both also have the desire to be of some use and help to those around them. Both also contain a good balance of comedy romance and drama.

The plot of both series are quite different, but in both series, the female lead is liked by two boys. The female lead whats both of them to get along but the two boys don't get along well even if the situation has nothining to do with the female lead. In both, the boys try to get along for the female leads sake, but they have issues against the other that are hard to overcome. Aside from this, both female leads are also shown to have a tragic past, but it only encourages them to view things in a more positive way.

The whole time I was watching this anime, I kept thinking about how Yuuki resembed Tohru, in almost everyway.

The stories are completely different in almost every single way, however the characters and how they respond to situations are very similar. I thought Yuuki (her voice, her thoughts, attitude) was completely identical to Tohru. Even though the genres of both anime are different, you can tell that both girls are always looking out for everyone's best interest at heart. They both have this "good" girl-like appearence written for them, and if you enjoyed one protaganist, you'll definitely love the other.

To me the animation styles are very similar.  They both deal with noblity and a somewhat reluctanct romance. Both have supernatural themes as well.   

If you have a penchant for beautiful bishounen and hapless female leads, then both Earl and Fairy and Vampire Knight will be for you. The two storylines are based in the supernatural, however the main focus is on the romance between the male and female leads.

If you dream about being swept off your feet by a handsome rogue, I highly recommend both of these shows to you.

If you enjoy it when Folklore comes to life then you will appreciate Earl and Fairy as much as vampire knight.  Earl and fairy deals with fairies and the fairy world instead of vampires, but also focuses on the romance between the very likeable characters which are surrounded in mystery, similar to Zero and Kaname in vampire knight.

The romance aspect is done well, just like vampire knight, there is more than one love interest, a man from the fairy world, and the Earl himself.  The main character continually wonders who she can trust, or if she can trust anyone,  just as Yuuki is constantly unsure of her love interests. 

Though not as action-filled or intense, Earl and Fairy has a great story, a few really awesome action scenes, similar animation style to vampire knight, and of course a lovely romance that happens while a wonderful story unfolds.  If you love vampire knight you will love Earl and Fairy, their similarities are endless.

Although this might seem to be a strange pairing, the two animes have similar themes. Both of the lead girl characters (Yuki and Sakura) have lost their memories. Memory and love are prominent themes in both animes. Both animes have terrific musical soundtracks. Finally, both can be considered romantic dramas with riveting plots that will keep you watching until the end of the series.

Two wonderful animes that both though very different, have a smiliar storyline. Both main girl characters have lost their memory, though Sakura has lost practically everything when Yuuki only lost her memory as a child. They are great animes that have romance, fighting, and all that other good stuff. ;)
