By the Grace of the Gods - Recommendations

OtakuHimeSama says...

Both anime have a small child as the main character after being reincarnated from a previous life. They both have a focus on family life and fulfilling work, with a focus on creativity and discovery. If you are looking for a light-hearted slice of life isekai you can't go wrong with either one of this anime.

stardrop says...

Very similar plots. Both isekai, MC reincarnated into a kid, and they run businesses. Bookworm is a tad more interesting because there's a mystery to solve from the beginning, and Grace is just one thing happening then the next.

Halex says...

Both are very similar in style & concept, if you like one then you'll probably like the other one, however, Ascendance of a Bookworm is much better as it also has some mystery elements, the way they go about things is much smarter, while By the Grace of the Gods uses Deus Ex Machina to solve its problems, and there is way less conflict. So By the Grace of the Gods it's mostly about the slice-of-life than anything else with an overpowered character. It's not a failure though, but it will mostly appeal to people who like this type of concept and the slice-of-life.

ChrisCarlo says...

I enjoy the trope of being reincarnated into a magical land, so if that's what your after this seems like a good fit

PURPLEHANDGANG says...

Both of those have different concepts but almost similar in storytelling, screenplay, world's system and animation. those both anime mainly focus on him/her survival in the new world from the realistic aspect, those anime had only lot of conversation and making economical moves scene so don't expect neither fight or competition event.

Blackdragonsrose says...

Both being about a adult reincarnating as a child they hold many similaritys. Both also center around how the MC works in order to servive this new life, using knowledge from their past to become reputable. Both also originaly starting as what would be lower in the natural higher archy in that world (commoners basicly) both are also extreamy mellow shows great for family or young veiwing as they do not include mature aspects that are unsutable for young children.

twynde says...

Both get reborn as children. Both learn and grow in their new world and learn to see this new world as home. It takes the MC longer in Ascendance but They both manage it. They also use their skills and knowledge from their past lives to create new things and make life better for themselves and others. Both are super wholesome. <3

Leahchu says...

Both anime focus on an adult reincarnating into the body of a young child. Both adults had died from overwork, which caused a god to take pity on them and give them the chance at a calmer second life. Each show focuses on how these reincarnated characters mesh themselves into their new worlds and the bumps along the road. Ascendance has a mystery aspect, while Grace of the Gods is more slice of life/iyashikei. 

LadyPsychic says...

Both anime are mostly light-hearted isekai series.  The MCs from both series were reincarnated into a fantasy world in the form of young children and gradually improve their lives over the course of thier respective series.  Both series also have a similar vibe to them.  The protagonist of By the Grace of the Gods is a bit over-powered and relies on his magic and slime taming abilities, while the protagonist of Ascendance of a Bookworm has to rely on her knowledge that she retained from her previous life.  That said, I still think that if you like one you might like the other. 

queenitakiss says...

the vibe is similar and it's all so cute 

Owned0 says...

They really do have simmilar styles, I reallly enjoyed both of the animes since I'm more into calming ones. I can watch battle, but too much gives me a headache (sometimes literally, somtimes not) and I get tired of watching it quicker.

Zenoqi says...

Both are isekai on the more relaxed side. While the mc of bookworm likes to read anything, the mc in by the grace would read anything about slimes. And plus who wouldnt want to look at cute slimes and relax around.

skyluvh8 says...

Both involve earnest adults reborn as children in another world. They both follow the path that makes them happy. Very wholesome.

Beth0410 says...

Both involve them reincarnated from another life with their memories from previous life. They have to learn more about the new world they live in now and are very creative when it comes to things they want and/or helping others. 

hololark says...

They're both stupid.

The plots are like "Oh no! we have a problem!" and then theres a scene where the main character goes off on their own for 5-10 mins and comes back "Look at this very specific power that I just discovered I could do, that solves this exact issue, that no one else can do because I'm super special and everyone else is a sheep!" then rinse and repeat. If you liked the slime anime, you'll probably like these as well. The plots and characters are interchangeable. I wasn't going to roast them like this because there is some draw in watching a plotless show after a hellish week. So it's not like they don't have their place. However, they're both stupid. 

donutboy13 says...

its very simmilair but also slightly diffrent one is with more class struggle, bussiness and corruption and the other is with more magic adventuring and slimes

JordanJas says...

While both of these shows are not finished yet I believe that they are very similar. 

Both are isekai anime in which the main character is reincarnated or put in another world in a favourable position. 

Magic, Monsters, the whole enchilada. 

Aalsiii says...

Both are slow life Isekai with its own fun plot. Both MCs are overpowered but they dont overdo it and use it in a fun and creative way and specially both do not focus on typical plots of harem and other similar traits and conveys its own unique plot.

ClairIsHere4Manga says...

Kuma Kuma bear is a sweet and happy-go-lucky reincarnation manga, and if you have read it and liked it, then you'll also enjoy By the Grace of the Gods.

It's a tad different, but similar concepts.

Both are enjoyable mangas containing an object the main lead fawns over (bears and slimes; though she really has no choice with the bears, she still has it so it counts!)

These mangas are sweet, slice of life, reads that i recommend earnestly!

alp2va says...

Both shows are a slice-of-life isekai with little conflict and cute characters. Both main characters are also overpowered, though Kuma leans more into that aspect than Grace of Gods. Kuma also leans more comedic whereas Grace of Gods is more about the lifestyle of this new land.

StellaeSamos says...

Both are isekai with lovable overpoered characters who mainly hang out with the locals and go on occasional adventures and found businesses and generally are very fluffy.

MisterPhantomAgent says...

Similar things, they have connections with gods, transferred to an isekai, and want to stay undercover. Nothing more.

Shortylynnchaos says...

Legit when telling a friend about Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, I mentioned it had the same energy as this anime, By The Grace Of The Gods, as it has the same feel, no real danger, overpowered protagonist but not boring. Some adventure but also feeling of accomplishment.

hajimenagumo12 says...

the protagonists are both summoned to another world and each has a knack for their certain animal/monster, for ryoma it is slimes, and for yuna it is bears

cate22lol says...

they are both just so wholesome shows without the usual isekai sexualisation you get me haha

yursclera says...

both are somewhat low key animes with just feel good vibes all around and can be good animes to just sit down to watch and relax .

StellaeSamos says...

Both focus heavily on slimes. Although That Time I Got... it about an mc who is a slime and By the Grace... is more about different types of slimes, their characteristics, and a lovable character who is obsessed with them. Both of the mc's are overpowered, a little clueless, but super smart annd capable. Also, their both isekai that are on the lighter side.

Fluffs says...

Both of these have a cute slice-of-life approach to everyday situations. Protagonists are similar, both get a second chance at life and try to make it as wholesome as possible, with the supporting characters always being there for them. 

Also, both have slimes 

thekillergoose says...

they are similar in the sense that its about someone enjoying life in a new fantasy world although slime is more about politics and by the grace of the gods is more about someone enjoying life in a world after being abused 

AJH1022 says...

• both have slimes.
• both have the main charcter coming from a different world.
• most of all the way that the story progresses is very similar in ways (the transistion between episodes and events).

AllyNorth says...

The main characters both get sent to a different world. Though they are different species their personalities are very similar. Furthermore, they are both very strong but remain kind. 

quickroom says...

they both involve opm characters and slimes. bruh dont have enough characters to post this

FrostedCinnamon says...

Slimes, isekai, and OP main characters. By the Grace of the Gods features much less violence and conflict. Both are worthwhile watches.

emmbun says...

Both main characters have been reincarnated around the same age. Each has to do if slimes, and friends.

Though, By the Grace of the Gods is more of a calm, slice of life, with nothing too extreme happening ( like war or fights ). Just because nothing big happens doesn't mean it's great to watch :).

'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' is a little different, the main character after getting reincarnated becomes a genderless being ( he prefers to use he/him from his old life ) that can 'eat' things. This anime is way more violate than 'By the Grace of the Gods' with things like fights, wars, killing/death, and the main character runs a society!

either one you decide to watch, they're both great! if you like manhwa ( Korean manga ) then you would most likely like these too animes! I personally like them both very well so I can't say which I prefer more :)

Asyeurin says...

OP reincarnators, OP slimes, and dazzling fantasy isekais.

Tensei is more about monster society, leadership, nation building and wars/battles, while Kami-tachi is focused on humans, fantasy research, self development and self acceptance through the love of others (although that part is developed more later in the series).

LadyPsychic says...

Both are mostly light-hearted isekai anime series that involve slimes.  In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the main character is a slime, while in By the Grace of the Gods the main characters raises slimes.  The protagonists of both series are a bit OP.  Both are enjoyable series, and if you like one then you'll probably like the other.

ItsAkira says...

• Both animes include reincarnation.
• MCs lives in forest and is going out to the world.
• Both main charcters are OP
• Both involve them having somthing to do with nobility.
• Both have magic
• Isekai
• Both have adventure
• If you like one anime you will like the other.

crowlsparrow says...

Both of the stories have to do with a boy growing up with powers that are unknown to the other people around them. They are both relatively humble and living their lives with people that care about them.

Amineguide says...

Both isekai and sorta same plot man over worked dies a tragic death reincarnated in other world 

alp2va says...

Reincarnation show where the main character starts as a child but discovers he has magic powers that are much stronger than the rest of the world. Grace of God seems to be lighter and much less action-heavy than Wise Man's Grandchild

AnimeForLife86 says...

I love this anime it made me cry and now it´s going to make me cry agen while im typing this. Creators of this anime if you ever read this coment that i wrote ty so so so so mutch for creating this it helps me to move forward in life ty please make a second season i know you can do this please.

RenKocho says...

The concept of the animes is the same. Both Isekai with op MCs with magic power above the rest with thoughts to help them in their adventures 

MisterPhantomAgent says...

The reason I recommend this is because of the many similarities. First of all, a god on the back, as well as the OP characteristics and the modern knowledge. Both protagonists tend to have control of all elements as well as both protagonists getting reincarnated into the new isekai with modern knowledge.

Spoilers ahead.

Both protagonists also seem to have an accidental way of death. They seem to reincarnate full of luck and are both overpowered, as a beast tamer and a magician. They also tamed animals which have never been tamed before, such as a big slime in By the Grace of the Gods' case, and legendary creatures, in In Another World with my Smartphone's case.

I put this recommendation up as both animes are quite similar (in amounts of cringe and so), but no one seemed to make a move. Not that I expect to, but it is really similar.

Mohitb97 says...

both the series start with the protagonist dying for stupid reason and meeting gods to be born in another world and they are kind hearted and fearless

VegitioandGogetaMUI says...

they are similar but this this better both anime god made a mistake and give them power so i think they are similar at the beginnig atleast

TheHusbando says...

Other world OP anime. Both are light hearted and simple. I enjoyed both. Grace of the Gods is slower and more innocent but is actually a little better put together. Either way, you should be good.

MechanicPortal says...

Just from the first episode, there is already a lot of things in common between the two animes. mainly theM being an Isakei and the gods giving some sort of minor ability after death.

Littlesilverwolf says...

Both anime has main character of having invincible ability given by god. Smartphone is more towards harem but grace is more towards daily life

misssc says...

Both are slice of life and slow life. Both will cure depression and are easy, relaxing watches. 

Thanh03 says...

same vibe.

Both are isekais where the lead leads a life of a normal overworked person in japan and dies only to be isekaied into a fantasy world where they can live out their peaceful lives revolving aroung cute animals/slime

Beth0410 says...

Both are slow life isekai with the main characters unexpectedly being able to 'tame' or befriend unexpected monsters/animals.

kumoyume says...

if you're seeking an anime where the main character already knows what to expect of them and then must face taming things such as monsters and watching the evolution of their future into their new world/life then look no further than these two as their adventures bring about interactions with trying to make a change for the better in their new life with the knowledge they have.

JordanJas says...

Both of these shows focus on people who die of overwork and are reincarnated into the body of a child. These children still remember their past lives (or bits of it) and use it when they are dealing with others in the new world. They are tamers and seem to tame nearly every monster they come across and make them their friend, and are able to use those friendships to help them later on.

NephaCrystil says...

Isekai where a guy dies from overworking himself and gets reincarnated in a fantasy world as a little boy with all his memories and knowledge of his previous life, and uses that knowledge to run a successful small business.

LuckyM says...

Both wholesome about an iseki person doing what they love. PWP has some more serious undertones though

yaoigoddessraven says...

I agree they both take place in a fantasy setting where an older guy reincarnates as a child and are pretty powerful in their field.

OtakuHimeSama says...

Both anime leads were once corporate employees who reincarnate into a child body in a new world.

Both worlds have magic and aristocracy.

twynde says...

The way the MCs of both adapt to their new world is similar. They also both end up having infantile regression as their young bodies affect their minds. while "The 8th Son? Are you kidding me?" is far more action-based than "By the Grace of the Gods" is the two give off a similar vibe. Both are very wholesome and both leave you cheering for the MC in this new and unfamiliar world.

If you liked one of these I'd recommend watching the other as well <3

NobodyYouNeedKnow says...

I think both anime has chille fantasy vibe. Just isekai where anime concentrates on fantasy world but in peaceful way I would say. I know that it has only one episode yet but I think that both animes are something you can relax after long day or something.

wucchu says...

Both animes include a main character who gets a burnout from their job and receives another at life by being teleported to another world. Neither of the animes include too much fighting or any other violent scenes thus they're both chill and easy to relax with.

Wellker says...

Wholesome slowlife, no major plot op portaganist kind of show. Leadale has no slimes tho. but in terms of side characters its similar in the sense that they are wholesomely made for a nice relaxing chill anime.

Kaeseolin says...

Well I like both series and they're enjoyable as well. I hope you'll like these series a lot.
