Full Moon wo Sagashite - Recommendations

Modesty81 says...

have the same sort of feeling as full moon wo sagashite, fruitsbasket is a great serie, i just love Honda tohru :)

Yoshia says...

I think you will like Fruits Basket if you liked Full Moon wo Sagashite, because it has the same sort of jokes and it's also very sad in some parts. It's a beautiful anime with the same feeling as Full moon wo Sagashite.

littlekitty says...

Fruits Basket and Full Moon are filled with tragedy, but ultimately, both stories are incredibly uplifting.  Also, Fruuba's Tohru and Full Moon's Mitsuki have similar personalities; each girl is a very positive, inspiring, likable character.

lovepink says...

Both Fruits Basket and FMoS are cute series in which the heroes always protect the naïve heroines. The sweet & goofy atmospheres are also very pleasant and funny, but the anime also have serious parts which will make you wonder about the true motives of the different characters.

DarkOnistar says...

If you've watched "Full Moon wo Sagashite" then I would recommend this series. Fruits Basket's main character is somewhat similar to Mitsuki but with her own problems; problems getting close to somebody that she loves.

pitypancake says...

they are both a fun anime with loveable charicters and if you like the whole thing about people that are animal-ish, then you would like both! plus they are both very funny and get a little more seriouse at the end (although fruits basket more than full moon)

sarrysar09 says...

You can't help but cheer for the protagonists as they work hard to overcome hardships. In Full Moon you want to see the poor sick girl achieve her dreams and become a singer. In Fruits basket you want to see Tohru break the curse and become happy living with the sohmas.

Ruavel says...

Both anime have the same mood and the same optimistic manner of thinking and acting. Main characters are like sisters, with a tragedy behind, but still kind, helpful and loving.

milkteamareena says...

Full Moon being my very first real anime I started watching and Fruits Basket the first one I sat the whole thing through, (and thoroughly enjoyed), I found an easy transition between the two due to their similarities. The same type of humour, jokes and the art quality really make these two stand out. If you like one, I strongly suggest you try the other.

Jin3333 says...

They give off a similiar vibe. Like fruits basket, it does sort of have a love triangle and the the plot it similiar in many ways. I really recommend watching it

7whitewolf7 says...

They have a similair vibe. They're not empty fluff but make the best use of fluff to roll you through they're lives and give you something to think about!

choco says...

If you liked either Kirarin Revolution or Full Moon wo Sagashite, you'll definitely like the other. They're both about girls who's dreams are to become idols or singers for their crushes. And both the girls become more serious about their work as the series progress. Although they may be a bit off from each other's plots, they are very similar in many ways.

MariJine says...

Viewers will find the perseverance and determination of Mitsuki and Kirari in these dramas very inspiring. Both trying to survive in the extremely competitive world of entertainment and trying to fulfill their dreams, both animes share this common element of hard work and faith. Along with cute animal friends and supportive family and friends, it is exciting to watch as these two girls attept to overcome all obstacles to reach their dreams!

Anu says...

If you like full moon wo sagashite you will definetly like kirarin revolution because both characters love singing and go through lot of hardship a long the way

sm3xyang3l says...

Kirarin(kirarin revolution) and Mistuki(Full Moon) both want to become idol/singer. they both start with aimin to be an idol because of someone they like(Seiji/Eiichi), but eventually fall in luv with the another guy(Hiroto/Takuto). they're both about music and i think that if u like one of them u'll surely like the other!

Jennifer12310 says...

Both Animes are similar and they had poits that you would love both. Thye have desires for singing. Mitsuki has little time but if Kirarin has lots of times. Thye both have times that are funny.

pretystarami says...

They both have two girls that are singers that is singing for they crush. But unlike Kirarin Revolution Fullmoon wo Sagashite is a little darker and sader. Please watch it!!!!!!!!!!

Jin3333 says...

Mitsuki and Kirarin both are absolute angelic idols who have a muddled up romance story. But still it's wholesome

XMrNiceguyX says...

Both series have a similar theme (Singing & Music) and the graphics look really similar. The main difference between the two series is that in Mermaid Melody they focus more on a romance and in Full Moon wo Sagashite they focus ore on the music and singin.

Murasakyoru says...

This two series are special. They might not have the same story, but there is something about the characters and the way both stories are built that makes the series similar in a way.

Both main characters are fighting for their love, and they meet many difficulties along the way. After watching Full Moon wo Sagashite, try out Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch too.

SunshinexKite says...

Both are about singers and magical girls. They both have romance and a bit of drama. There are also cute mascot characters ie: PPP's Hippo and the shinigamis of FMOS.They're both cute animes and im sure if you like one, you'll like the other!

NerineLuna says...

Both Full Moon and Mermaid Melody follow (a) protagonist(s) that love(s) singing. In both series there love also plays an important part.

They both share the element of fantasy too (shinigami & mermaids).

lindapearl says...

Both animes involve singing and the main character, Luchia from Mermaid Melody and Mituki from Full Moon wo Sagashite, have to face obstacles to achieve their goals whether it saving the world or making one's dream come true and both character will have love problems on the way.

TheLittleFairy says...

It has all the singing in it, I personally liked the music in both of them as well as the transformations for both series as well.

tetra says...

Full Moon and Kaleido Star really have a lot in common without being so similar that its boring to watch both (like Evangelion and RahXephon). Talented young girls strive to express themselves via their chosen artistic medium, singing and circus acts.

Both series are long, so if you are looking for something that will last, is entertaining and feel-good (mostly), this is for you.

perfectlykawaii says...

Kaleido Star and Full Moon wo Sagashite are both well worth watching. Their storylines and plot developments are pretty contrasting, but there are key elements that are the same. The main protagonist of both anime (Kaleido Star - Sora, Full Moon - Mitsuki) have very big dreams and goals that they strive to reach, as well as an exceptional amount of dedication, perserverance, and creativity. Both Kaleido Star and Full Moon wo Sagashite have the capability of drawing you into the show so much that you might have the urge to cheer for the characters, or at least, hope that they are one step closer to their goal. If you've enjoyed watching either Sora or Mitsuki, you'll definitely enjoy watching the other attempt to reach their biggest dreams and aspirations.

witchhuntergio says...

In both Kaleido Star and FMoS the main character is a young girl who wants to follow her dreams, but of course she finds a lot of obstacles in her way. Even if neither show reveals to you the meaning of your existence, they are perfect for those times when you need to believe that everything will work out in the end.

faerieponey says...

Kaleido Star and FMoS both are about a girl whose dreams are very important to her, and she won't stop at anything in trying to accomplish them. Her guardians, who are not looked highly upon at first, grow alongside her, protect and take care of her. Both shows try to teach us that regardless of your fame and fortune, you should never forget who you are and where you came from.

animegal33 says...

These animes are very similar. They are both happy animes about girls trying to reach their dreams. Although they both run into a few problems on the way, they try their hardest. They are both entertaining and if you liked one, you would certainly like the other.

usagiblossom says...

Kaleido Star and Full Moon have something big in common, but in a way, are very different. The main characters are both optimistic and driven. They have a goal and are willing to do almost anything to achieve it. Both series' present you with fun and likeable characters, alongside a unique and interesting plot, complete with drama, comedy and emotion. If you enjoyed one, you'll be sure to enjoy the other.

avidkid10 says...

Full Moon is a bit sad at first when you realize what's going on with the main character, but the music is great and will have you singing along. It's a cute anime that will no doubt have you crying with joy at the end. Just like Aishiteruze Baby, it features cute and lovable characters, light comedy, and a developed plot.

Perfect says...

Both Full Moon wo Sagashite and Aishiteruze Baby make you in a good mood when watching eventhough the background story for both series is actually quite sad. They can both be abit too childish and somewhat annoying at times but then again the story is about kids.

sorgesol says...

If you enjoye the tearinducing aspects of an anime, the tragic and heartjerking drama... then you should enjoy either of these two shows.

Full Moon wo Sagashite is filled with tradgedy and sad moments, Aishiteruze Baby less so, though enough to dampen the eyes of any one with a heart. Ofcourse, there are also happy and funny moments in both shows but it is the drama that makes them good. So grab a hanky and get to watching!

TropicalMist says...

Both anime have the same atmosphere and mood to it's characters. I felt like they were both aimed at the same type of audience (preteens or girls in high school).

The plot and story each had its own twists and turns and "major problems of the day". However, character develops were made gradually and not at one specific episode.

I think they each had their own "cute" moments as well which gives it the same feel in general. There's no dramatic ending or surprise, so they're both relaxing and light watches.

AutenticAnimeAddict says...

I find ab and fmws not that much alike, but they're both equally good! The two shows do revolve around children and development of love.

faerieponey says...

Both stories follow the path of a new singer-wannabe, showing the goods and bads they have to go throughout their expiriences. By singing in the memory of someone special to them they go step by step twords making their dreams real.

Uniflame says...

Both anime are about becoming pop idols. Even though the underlying story in both series is totally different, the core message is the same: Never give up untill you have reached your goals and dreams. Both series also come with a soundtrack full of catchy pop tunes.

animegal33 says...

Both of these animes are about girls new as idols following their dreams. Both of the main characters have people along the way who help to make their dreams come true. If you liked one of these, I would recommend that you try the other.

KiyoneSaya says...

THe characters ar brought together by a dead/dying girls wish to make people happy with their music. It's fun to watch how they accomplish that goal

NerineLuna says...

Both anime follow the story of a young girl who wants to be a pop idol. They show how they are willing to work hard to reach their dreams, and the difficulties they face.

Cheza says...

Both are made by Arina Tanemura. Both series has a strong girl as main character. The character design is also nearly alike. There is love, fun and tragic in both series. Full Moon is singing for the guy she loves, Jeanne fighting for the people (friends, parents) she love.

remoneko says...

Both anime are very "lovey-dovey". The main characters in both anime are the heroic, considerate type, and is welcomed by the guys... Both anime has some type of unrealistic or fantasy/magic to it. And let's not forget those time-consuming transformations from a normal person to someone else.

kamirura says...

Full Moon and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne are very cute and cuddly anime. The art style and story a quite alike with fantasy adventures through the night. They have good soundtracks and there are many tears to shed in both of them.

kenjisumachi says...

If you are a fan of Arina Tanemura and would like to see more of her work. Check out this series. Both focus on the main character having some family problems and when they transform, they have the ability to make people happy.

faerieponey says...

Both Full Moon wo Sagashite and Princess Tutu are cute stories about music that get you into the mood of wanting to watch another one. Both anime are based on the power of will and the power of wanting to help someone in need.

theninja says...

Both are fantasy series which become deeper and more serious as they progress. The first episodes reveal the characters and the plot but as the plot unravels, unexpected instances occur. You never know what could happen next. Both involve transformations (as Mitsuki becomes her 16-yr old self and Ahiru becomes Princess Tutu.) Both female protagonists begin having an ideal version of their loved one and end with a different idea. What I enjoyed the most about both of these series was seeing how love was portrayed as unexpected -- strong but never in the place you expect it to be. In both cases, the characters are fighting against forces that cannot be won, yet the courage and the willingness of these characters to do whatever it takes for their loved one is unbelievable and breathtaking.

Aburi says...

These two shows are both feel good types with a heavy emphasis on music (Full Moons singing and Princess Tutus dance) They both look childish on the surface but are really very meaningfull. And finally they both have a very well written bittersweet story. I got teary eyed watching both of these.

littlekitty says...

Kodocha and Full Moon are cute, romantic stories about one girl chasing her dreams.  Both contain elements of stardom, unrequited love, and melodrama.  Most importantly, each show explores the idea of very young (we're talking elementary school) girls in love. 

Kodocha's Sana and Full Moon's Mitsuki are very strong protagonists, because they are easily likable: both are hardworking, passionate, and neither girl lets fame go to her head.

SpErAnZa says...

KnO and FMoS are both packed with comedy, romance, and drama - but they will also entertain you and astonish you on many different levels. You won't forget them because they leave a mark on your memory, due to their unusual story twists and perfect conclusions.

DokiDoki says...

Both of these animes have similarites in being about child stars, young love, and comedy! The main characters both fall in love with people unexpectedly, and are extremely hard workers. One difference is that Kodocha is more fast paced and hyper than Full Moon, but I think that makes watching them both more interesting. If you enjoyed Full Moon you will definetly enjoy Kodomo No Omocha.

faerieponey says...

A dead boy helping a girl in trouble while being in his ghost form,a girl who is determend to acheive her dream and an imposibble love are the things that represent these two animes. Both girls don't live with their parents but they make many friends and learn each day that you have to go through a lot of pain and suffering before you can make your dream come true. Even though the endings are different, both series have that something special in common

DreamChaser says...

Both of these series contain a girl who is trying to become famous and improve her talent. In Ginban Kaleidoscope it's figure skating, and in FMwS it's singing. Both have romance as a main theme in the plot, and they each have something foreboding overshadowing that same romance to create suspense. While the pacing is slower in Full Moon wo Sagashite due to the different lengths, I definitely think a fan of shoujo stories like these would love both.

TropicalMist says...

While watching Ginban Kaleidoscope, I couldn't help but think about how much it reminded me of FMwS.  Not only because some of the character design (o_O?) but because of the interaction between the characters. 

Both female counterparts are TOTALLY different, but what they both have to face is really similar.  They're both young, and thrown into a world of stardom and trying to be the best at what they do.  I felt that with the touch of romance (with guys that no one else can see?), the bittersweet resolution at the end really ties the knot between these two.
