Devils and Realist - Recommendations

snivets says...

In both Kuroshitsuji and Makai Ouji, both MCs are headstrong young men from wealthy families, have experienced tragedies, and are surrounded by a multitude of good-looking bishie demons. With a touch of comedy and plenty of drama, the similarities between these two shows are hard to miss.

randomredneck says...

Angels, demons, rich people, and more homoerotic undertones than you shake a stick at. Good in one, good in the other.

Osungie says...

I love kuroshitsuji, its fun and good i recommend people to watch kuroshitsuji and kuroshitsuji 2

PurplePeopleEater says...

Demons, taking souls, occult, and dealing with some supernatural beings plus hot butlers in both these animes give them a similar feel and provides a similar experience. Both also take place around the same time period in history.

Epimondas says...

Rich guy young student lead character in Black Butler and Devils and Realist.  A demon associate of immense power though to be honest I lean toward Dantalion as being more powerful than Sebastian with respect to his position and demonstrations on how well he matches against even the most powerful of angels in the series.  There are butlers in both with shall we say altnerate identities?  Demons, monsters, heaven, and hell feature as prominent elements in both in one way or another.

JordanJas says...

Both feature demons and a young master, both are about spoiled rich kids, both have dead family members and both tell an interesting story with good fights.

RogueLynx says...

its like everybody's already said demons, angels, headstrong rich kid who's sufferred tragedy, great comedy, master-servant relationship... Kuroshitsuji is way, way, WAY weirder than Devils and Realist though, and a far superior anime series imo.

Psychodeathgeass says...

I dont know.. i like both and very much.. maybe Kuroshitsuji is better because it has 2 series. But both are about demons and noble mens and I like these motives. 

SleepySpaceCowboy says...

some kinda consept with the hole demon stuff and powerful things abuot. just that theres a demon thats a butler pretecting his young master till he's fofulled his duties 

Mueslibitch says...

the concept of summoning a demon and them serving you is a common one in the anime world, but bessides this trope, the anime differ vastly. both are borderline BL tho, so there is that

Nocturnalgloria says...

Faux-Victorian England, young aristocrats who just happen to be orphans, contracts with demons and supernatural entities popping up at all times, fancy dressing: it could either be Pandora Hearts or Makai Ouji. Apart from all this they combine a lot of parody with drama and rely heavily on a cast of very pretty males between which there are enough BL undertones to go around.

sothis says...

Pandora Hearts and Makai Ouji share a victorian feel, fantastical bishies and a similar mix of darkness and comedy. They just share the same tone - try out one if you liked the other.

SuperSimp says...

Both animes have demons, characters in master/servant relationships, superpowers. The gneral settings are similar.

dkjiji says...

Both are supernatural fantasy anime with some comedy. Both anime have bishounens surrounding the lead character. However, Makai Ouji's protagonist is a male while Kamigami no Asobi's is a female.

PurplePeopleEater says...

Both of these animes have a similar feel about them, especially how they end. The character types are also similar and both involve different worlds/realms/what ever you want to call it. Devils and Realists involves heaven, hell, and the human world and Kamigami involves the human world and the world of the gods. Both involve some otherworldly characters going to human or human like school and having to learn to deal with humans. Devils and Realists has demons in a human school and Kamigami has a human attending a school with several gods from different mythology in a school modeled after schools in the human world. Both of these anime center around a human who for some reason is dragged into dealing with the beings from the other worlds without their consent (who gets dragged to another world willingly anyways?) and is stuck in their situation until they complete a single mission. If you liked one, you will probably like the other, although Kamigami has more romance and less fighting and supernatural events.

findingroses says...

Both contain powerful beings represented as school students, all somewhat fixated on a protagonist who finds themselves caught up in something they never intended.

Nasyki says...

These two series have a very simmilar feel and art style between them. Highly recomend both of them. Both involve the re-incarnation of a main character followed by lots of bishounen.

littlewyman says...

They both have strong bonds between the protagonist male and the male from his past. Also both William and Yuki don't remember their pasts. 

hotspot says...

Both anime have strong BL undertones where one male character is overly protective of the main male protagonist. They also dabble with reincarnation as well. 

Epimondas says...

There are quite a few similarities between Devils and Realists and 07 Ghost.  The setting, at least in the beginning are identical.  The goals of the characters to be paragons of society are similar.  The twist about who are good and bad has a similar ring as well as demons, angels, and the lead characters of both are reincarnations of some important figure from the past.  There is alot of magic use in both shows.  Both settings take place in religious schools.  Both stories have powerful friends/guardians watching over the main character from various enemies trying to take them or do harm to them.

hotspot says...

Strong BL undertones that involve magic. The main character is close to someone in the beginning of the story who comes off as a love interest and loses connection with them, where as they start to become closer to another character, who also comes off as a love interest. 

Epimondas says...

Magic, demons, misunderstood orphaned lead character, hidden powers, both good and evil forces after lead character for their own selfish reasons.  Yep both series share alot in common. Also worthy of note, Krul Tepes and Eligos look eerily similar to each other but Krul looks like the younger version of Eligos while Eligos looks like the older more mature version of Krul.

hotspot says...

Both anime have BL tendencies involving two guys who are of a different species. (Human & Vampire | Human & Demon).

Epimondas says...

The biggest similarities between High School DxD and Devils and Realist are mainly to do with the connection to hell and demons.  The lead characters in both kind of end up connected in a similar fashion, technically through death either reincarnation or death and resurrection.  Both characters become a focal point of sorts of demons and angels.  There is at least one eyesore in hell in both cases that obsesses over the lead character.

PurplePeopleEater says...

Religion, angels, devils, and school play huge parts in the plots of both these animes. While the mc of Highschool DXD becomes a devil and fights alongside his fellow devil friends, the mc of Devils and Realist is a scientific young man who is responsible for choosing the next devil king, except he doesn't really believe in all that stuff. However, the Angel Michael in these animes are totally opposites.

VampGirl says...

The main Character in both series summon a demon, in Devil and Realist its by accident, and in azazel san its on purpose.

If you liked one, you should check out the other one too.

Epimondas says...

Demon King Daimo and Devils and Realists have similar lead characters with ironically a similar goal and a similar connection to elements in Hell with lots of magic use and so called good factions after the lead via misunderstanding the main character.

Epimondas says...

D. Gray Man and Devils and Realists have that religious overtone, an education institution like home station, battles against demons, a hidden powered character,  and both main characters have a similar disconnection from common society like no family or orphaned.
