The Book of Bantorra

In a land where the souls of humans fossilize to become books, a group known as the Armed Librarians strive to maintain and protect the tomes stored within the Bantorra Library. Meanwhile the Shindeki church is transforming people into living weapons. These human bombs are known simply as ‘Meat’, and they have been programmed to carry out a single action: to kill Hamyuts Meseta, the Armed Librarians’ director. Now, alongside the threat of Dragon Pneumonia, the Librarians use their powerful and unique psychic abilities to stop the Shindeki Church at all costs. But when one of their colleagues betrays them and steals one of the seven war machines of the past, the Librarians must work even harder to prevent their enemies’ nefarious plans from coming to fruition.

I have little good to say about either series. Both involve ludricously convoluted and somewhat pretentious waffle as an excuse to wallow in anime cliches (including bishonen males, though Bantora skews more towards buxom and moe-moe girls). Neither are good, honestly, but if you like your silly action scenes sprinkled liberally with a smattering of pseudophilosophical nonsense and a side order of Dead Serious Angst, then maybe you're of a mindset that will enjoy these.

Hero Tales

Hero Tales

There are seven stars of destiny in the sky, each one linked to one of the seven great champions. Of these stars, Tonrou, the North Star, and Hagun, the South star, shine brightest.

I thought Juushin and X were very much alike, but perhaps that was just because everyone continually talking about the fate and the stars in both anime. Anyway, it contains people fighting for their own believes with their own special power(or speciality). 

Juushin is definetly aimed at a younger audiance though, you have been warned :)

Besides these both being Clamp, each shows the tragic course of friends turning enemy, and the sacrifices made for love. They are both dark stories, action-packed, and full of pain.

A reluctant highschool student main character is thrown into an end of the world battle. Both heavily talk about fate and preordained destinies. They each follow similar paths and have a lot in common. Though Utena follows a symbolic route, X is more direct. If you liked one it's deffinately worth trying the other.

Both are about a child of prophecy trying to save the world from it's end. They also involve betrayal, supernatural powers, history of the character feud, dark moments that will twist the light hearted moments, deaths that will impact the character's actions, and more importantly the fate of the world that will involve the forces of good and evil.

Guilty Crown

But things change when he meets the beautiful pop idol, Inori, who is on the run from GHQ soldiers. While trying to save her from her captors, he acquires a mysterious power called the Void Gene that allows him to pull items or weapons from anyone under the age of seventeen. Now, Shuu must decide whether to join the efforts of the well-funded radical terrorist group "Funeral Parlor" and fight against the GHQ, or shrug off his newfound power and resume his normal life - assuming that either the GHQ or Funeral Parlor's charismatic leader, Gai, will let him.

If you're familiar with Code Geass, you should also be familiar with X/1999 which is the kind of the foundation for Code Geass. Guilty Crown has a similar story and tone to X as both are dark, tragic, supernatural, and apocalyptic except that GC is more sci fi than X as X is more inclined to supernatural. Japan is the setting in both stories and serves as the battlefields as well which costs the character's lives episode by episode leaving the surviving characters the not so simple finale.

Darker than Black

Darker than Black

A giant wall looms over Tokyo, shielding the city from a dangerous otherworld called the 'Hell's Gate'. Within the city, things are no less terrifying because Contractors, psychopathic killers with phenomenal powers, have started to appear. These killers are compelled to pay a price every time they use their powers, often in the form of a meaningless or painful task. As their deadly habits rack up a gruesome death toll, Kirihara Misaki and her team from the Foreign Affairs Public Security struggle to solve the cases and bring the Contractors under control. Their task is further confounded by the interference of a masked individual they title Messier Code BK201, a man with abilities that allow him to fight and defeat the Contractors. Who is this BK201? How can the Contractors be stopped permanently? And what does the appearance of the Hell's Gate mean for the people of Tokyo?

Darker Than Black and X are supernatural shows dealing with forces that fight each other for their reasons integrated with heavy dialoge, character focus, and plot twists that lead to a shocking conclusion delivered by the complex climax which the main character have to make difficult decisions on.

Mainly similar in their art direction namely the dark atmosphere, dim lighting and so on. They also share this concept of impending doom
