Sankarea - Recommendations

Garyuu says...

Both shows are romantic comedies dealing with zombies. These two shows also have a non-tradtional type of zombie. Because of this, the main character gets into many humorous situations.

RDarkSchneider says...

Deals with Zombies, but different situations. One is a comedy which only gets serious at the end and the other is a boy and a girl falling in love. That simple even though she is a zombie.

MOJ says...

Both of them involve untraditional zombies and hilarious situations. Either way, the protagonist in both animes gets to face the blunt force of zombification, whether it is being a zombie (Kore wa Zombie desu ka) or taking care of one (Sankarea).

hamletsmage says...

Both of these animes take on a non-traditional view of of zombies. Which allows the zombies to keep their human sides, allowing for comedic relief from the "plots". They also feature just a little (okay, more than a little) fanservice. The main guy has the typical, perverted best friend, and the rest of his companions seem to be girls. The similarities continue, so why not give both a try?

Doomoo says...

No anime really comes real close to being similar to Kore wa Zombie dsu ka? but if I had to choose I'd pick Sankarea. I say this because they both explore a very none traditional zombie nature that is not seen in most other series. That is to say that they are not just braindead maneaters. So both of these series share that special trait that is suprisingly hard to find. Anyway if you are fan of zombies and are tired of the same old stereotypical zombies then you should check these two anime out and if you liked one of these for that reason be sure to check the other one out as well.

sabrielsharmony says...

in both anime the zombies are very coherent although i would have to say that sankarea is way more dramatic. Both are entertaining and funny.

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series are romantic comedies featuring zombies and a whole lot of weirdness. They're both very good, so if you liked one I'm sure you'll like the other. 

JONDAMAN says...

both have a main chara who has become a zombie and has to adjust to there new life. one is more action-y while the other is a kind of a slower slice of (un)life. both also have romance in them but more so in sankarea.

MonkeyZerg says...

Normal schoolboy develops a romance with a supernatural horror-themed girl? Check. Manages to develop deep themes, eery auras, and love-stories that break the cliches involving characters you care for? Check. Interesting visual styles and musical choices? Check. These two surprises both hit the airwaves in Spring 2012, and while they shared the above similarities, they were very different in plots, tone, and styles. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia is the at times tragic, at times comical, love story involving a ghost. Sankarea is the bizarre and disturbing love story involving zombies. Both are fresh and massively entertaining. Give them a shot. 

Funari says...

A human schoolboy and a girl who has died but then came back. Tasogare and Sankarea's main themes were quite similar, in addition to which they both also paid attention to practical problems involving such a romance. Whether it was a problem with public displays of affection in Tasogare or trying to figure out how to slow down decay in Sankarea, they both deconstruct the idea of the "cute ghost girl". Both also balance between the feeling that the couple's love will eventually end when the girl passes on and the hope that the status quo can be preserved somehow.

Doomoo says...

These both revolve around a boy and a girl who is not quiet human. Both deal with the dynamics of a relationship that was never meant to be and death. not to mention the female leads lood similar. Anyway if you like the angle one takes on supernatural relationships you may also enjoy the other.

KingArthur13th says...

A romance between a slightly naive boy and a dead girl. The  heroine of Dusk Miaden of Amnesia is a ghost while in Sankarea, it's a zombie. Both of the male leads in these two series look after the heroine while attempting to find a solution to allow these undead girls to live a happy life. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is much more dramatic than Sankarea but if you enjoy one series, you will definitely enjoy the other.

Januri says...

Both have a supernatural aspect to them, and both are about an impossible love between different creatures. They're both romantic and also have their funny moments.

luksrac10 says...

Son las dos muy similares, tanto Dusk Maiden of Amnesia como Sankarea, y tienen una trama parecida, sobre que los protagonistas quieren ayudar a la chica y protegerla, en este caso Yuuko y Sanka, aparte de ser las dos "muertas" ya que una es un fantasma y la otra un zombie.

Estoy seguro que si te gusto Dusk Maiden of Amnesia te gustara Sankarea.

Astofolio says...

The romance with ecchi touch which focuses only on one and main ship. Both anime are way too much similar. And both has veey depressing yet masterpiece level ending. So, it's highly recommended

hamletsmage says...

While the plot, gore factor, and characters are very different in these animes, there are a couple of things that make them compatible. One, both involve zombies. Granted, most of the traditional zombies in Sankarea are only in Chihiro's movies. Two, the ecchi humor is extremely similar, though definitely more present in High School of the Dead. Third, both involve someone (and we won't mention names) whom should probably be labeled a pedobear. So, if that's up your ally, give these animes a try. 

snivets says...

HotD is more realistic and plot-heavy; Sankarea is more slice-of-lifey. But basically if you like boobs and zombies, they are both a good pick for you.

LinkSword says...

Both shows have male protagonists with strange "fetishes" and female protagonists with a special physical condition who need the guy's help to keep on living (and their personalities are remarkably similar).

In both cases, menacing third parties will try to tear apart the relationship of the two characters.

Although Dansai Bunri is more action-centered, the main idea and the mood will remind viewers of one another. 

Karasune says...

Despite having very different plots, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge and Sankarea have a similar atmosphere. Both shows can be a little bit morbid at times, but they still manage to throw in some comedy here and there for a little relief. The protagonists of both series are also very similiar - the male lead has an obsession, and the female lead's circumstances relate to his obsession. If you're a fan of one, you may want to look into the other. 

snivets says...

Although Kotoura-san comes sans zombies and Sankarea revolves around them, I have a feeling fans of either show would enjoy the other. The female protags are similarly victimized by weird family situations, afflicted by unusual conditions (living death, psychic powers), and protected by main male characters who are slightly obsessed with them.

sabrielsharmony says...

both series are about the romance between supernatural beings and average people and both really explore the psycological elements of theromance and what it means to be not human. also both have some great funny moments too.

snivets says...

Involving two young male protagonists with odd obssessions who must bring a girl back to life, Blood Lad and Sankarea have plot similarities, as well as busty female characters aplenty. Comedic, slightly ecchi, and lightly supernatural, these shows are peas in a pod.

Tempey says...

Okay so maybe this is a stretch, but the art styles are very reminiscent of each other. Hold on though, that's not the only reason I reccoment Noragami. See, I'm super into shoujo manga and anime, but every once in a while I venture (barely) outside my comfort zone. For all you shoujo lovers out there, both of these shows give you the same kind of feeling and keep you interested, even if its not about the love life we all dream about. Go watch these! 

ADMluciferlanerolle says...

This anime features the love aspect; what sets it distinct is that both lovers love till the end, regardless of the circumstances.
