Amatsuki - Recommendations

SaiAkuto says...

Both shows are about somebody who unintentionally fall into a world ofthe spirits. The main characters in both have to find a wayof releasing themselfes back into the real world, what they trying to accomplain with help of their firends. Both animes are also about very open-hearted people.

LLORAtheLLAMA says...

Both Amatsuki and Spirited Away has to do with a person who crosses over to a mysterious and spirit-filled world. There they meet new people and make friends which makes being in the strange world not that bad.

Join them both as they try to find their way home.

wolfangel87 says...

Amatsuki and Spirited Away have characters from the modern day world that magically get transferred back into a timeless world of the spirits.  They each have to try and find a way to get back to their own time.

Gavia says...

Both revolve around a person who has to find their way back to the home after being trapped in a spirit-world. Both series take place in historical japanese environments, with a lot of mythological creatures added.

If you like one you should try out the other.

youkais says...

Both of them are situated on old fashion era of Japan and, of course, there is a Boy that can see spirits.

Somehow both of them, too, are funny and serious. With similar atmosphere and similar songs.

If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.

neutrino says...

The main characters, style, and structure of the world are strikingly similar in both series.  It's like the crew of one show decided they liked the setting, art style, etc. so much, they decided to make the other, so it definitely feels like one is a continuation of the adventure that the other started.

emraykaprit says...

Similar plot and setting. Both have a sort of demons and excorsism. Overall the essence of the two is similar while each has its own unique points.

relmneiko says...

The shows are similar in that they have very slashable action with the boys (the protagonists of both shows are also similarly laid-back) without excluding strong females, and on top of that there's a Japanese history mingling with the modern day using a supernatural medium.

The main characters are both suddenly dragged into a world that they had not known before and both happen to find out that they are the key to the whole story. They start off alone but through being dragged into a new world, they find themselves making new friends and learning about life.

TotallyLovable says...

There's that one boy who until recently has been living a normal life, but is suddenly teleportated into another world. At first everything is messed up, but after awhile he gets used to the new life. The thing is that apparently he is the chosen one to get rid of the evil that's hiding in the shadows. But all is well when it ends well! In both Kyo Kara Maoh! and Amatsuki we see the development of the lead male characters who are destined to bring peace and prosperity to the other world they suddenly appear in.

AkumaSama says...

Both series have a person going into another world.That person, Yuri from kyou kara maou and Tokidoki from Amatsuki go into these  diferent world. Yuri becomes the king and Tokidoki just is the hero of the series. Both of these series have plenty of action and a lot of comedy. So, if you like one you'd like the other one.

wolfangel87 says...

With both InuYasha and Amatsuki a person (Kagome in InuYasha and Amatsuki in Amatsuki) are pulled into a strange world in the feudal days.  Both encounter monsters and demons along the way in which they have to find people to help them defeat the demons and go back to their own world.  Each series has the same type of feeling to them.

AquamarineGem says...

Both anime feature main characters that are whisked away to an Ancient Japanese setting filled with demons, and a lack of modern technology. 

chameleonkirsty says...

Both are pretty simple animes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't great.  Yokai show up in both with the main character(s) being able to see them with the plot surrounding this.  And the overall artwork/animation quality of these animes is amazing with attention to detail etc.

testkidz says...

Both waith male lead characters who can see spirits.

Although the setting and plot are very much different the personalities between the two lead characters are also very much similar. They both want to help he spirits while at the same time being able to satisfy humans as well.

neutrino says...

Both series take place in roughly the same time period, involve the extermination of ayakashi, and address similar themes.  However, Amatsuki is a lot more light-hearted and fun than TIAA.

KiraRin says...

Throught Amatsuki, I was reminded of Tenpou Ibun. Both shows are set in the Edo period, and feature a heavy dose of demons and fantastical battles. Also looking at the political, there is quite a deep story to both.

However, I feel Amatsuki was too rushed and crammed too much into 13 episodes. I know TIAA was also unfinished, but it is far superior in many ways. Therefore this is a one way rec as I really think Amatsuki fans would love TIAA.

amayonotsuki says...

Amatsuki and Hakuouki share a surprising amount of similiar concepts. First of all, both take place in feudal Japan and intergrate history into their plotlines (moreso Hakuouki, since Amatsuki travels off into a more fictional plot). Both are very slow-paced, but entertaining (for example, comedic moments with Shinpachi and Heisuke in Hakuouki or Kon and Shamon in Amatsuki), even though there's plenty of talking. Also, mystery plays a big part in both, which hooks watchers into such slowly-paced shows as these. Overall, the shows are pratically blood siblings in every aspect but plot.

wolfangel87 says...

The story setting of Feudal Japan is seen in both Amatsuki and Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan with intense fighting scenes and spirits popping out of nowhere.  There also happens to be an underlying layer of mystery shrouding the characters.

dokurochan says...

Amatsuki and Pandora Hearts are similar in that from the premise you would expect tons of action but instead you get a complex mysterious show with lots of talking. Both series have a magical ablity to not really explain information to you but still make you feel like you understand what is happening. The main trio in both series are also similar. Toki from Amatsuki and Oz from PH are both people that never really thought about serious stuff and would always have a smile on their face. Kuchiha and Alice are both tough chicks that have a powerful animal inside them and Shinonome and Gilbert are both smart, hot guys that are constantly getting into fights with Kuchiha/Alice. Bascially if you liked one show for its dark, mysterious plot then you will like the other but don't accept a good ending from either.

oGaga says...

The main characters both lived normal lives until 1 day something happened and they find them selves in a world different then their own, even though strange things are happening around them they decide to accept things as they are so they can hope to get on with their fun new life.

Both have demons and alternate dimensions and reckless 15-16 years old who always seem to surprise the people who worry about them the most with new powers.

Pandora is set in the 1800's = Amatsuki is set in the 1400's

sothis says...

Though Peace Maker Kurogane and Amatsuki aren't entirely similar (PMK legitimately takes place in the past, while Amatsuki is somewhat of a time travel scenario), they have a similar feel. Each has a blend of action and drama, and will probably appeal to the same fans.
