ERASED
- TV (12 eps)
- 2016
Satoru Fujinuma is a reclusive part-timer with no plans for the future. What sets him apart from the other slackers in his town is an involuntary time travel ability that allows him to jump back several seconds in time in order to prevent accidents and even deaths. As incidents around town begin reminding Satoru of a childhood trauma he'd sooner forget, he finally begins to question what caused his ability to surface and whether or not it's powerful enough to change the past.

Both are mysterious, and have psychological elements as well. There also seems to be a certain supernatural aspect to both.

They aren't really similar, but both anime have the similarity of reliving the past and correcting what went wrong.

A popular, talented student named Misaki suddenly died, and the ramifications of that incident have caused each third year class since then to live in fear. It is now 1998, and Kouichi Sakakibara has just transferred into the notorious classroom, curious about the mysterious secret that his peers are hiding from him. He’s drawn to one enigmatic girl named Mei Misaki, a quiet student who wears an eye patch and warns him about getting involved with her, and continues to seek her out against the pleas of his classmates. And that’s when people begin to violently die...

Stop reading this recommendation if you don't want anything the least bit spoiled. Just know that I think that these share some commonalities.
Both shows deal with a phonomenon that is quite simply a force of nature. They cannot be stopped or contained it just happens although The lost village goes further into explaining it's demons.

good vibe. scary vibe at times. unfortunately, not everyone gets it. just look at the score for the story - which is my favorite part in both anime - of Mayoiga and you'll understand why this one is a gem.
Another has the same slow paced and yet always kept me watching for learning more about the stoy.

- characters try to solve a mystery affecting those around them
- supernatural and horror elements
Overall, it's just something else to watch if you've ran out of spooky/mystery anime.

They both have a kinda chibi like style. I don't know how to explain it, but they have sorta the same vibe where there is a curse/monster hunting the group.
Shiki

Encased by trees that are used to make grave markers, Sotoba is a village thought to be surrounded by death - a fact that soon literally becomes the case. One summer, a series of mysterious and untimely fatalities begins to plague the small rural town. With a higher than normal mortality rate for the time of year and each cause of passing remaining unknown, Toshio, the local doctor, and Seishin the temple’s vice chief monk become suspicious and take it upon themselves to investigate. However, as the deaths begin to pile up, more people begin to wonder just what is behind this sudden epidemic; could it have anything to do with the bizarre Kirishiki family that recently moved to the village?

Mystery, horror, strange deaths, a small village, and some supernatural occurences can be found in both these shows. The Lost Village has more mystery to it and less death though and is more mild.

Both of these rural animes are are set in remote villages that quickly devolve into horror scenes. With a large cast of varied personalities, the anime include some mystery, some psychological drama, and even some action. If you liked one, try the other.

Both anime involve a village in the middle of nowhere, soon enough, crazy supernatural things start happening. They both have a similar vibe, as well as have a large group of characters.
Danganronpa: The Animation
- TV (13 eps)
- 2013
Hope’s Peak Private Academy is a super-exclusive institute that gathers the best and the brightest, provides them with a world-class education, and propels them into any career they wish.

Having been accepted into a class of 15 students through a lottery system, the boy quickly comes to learn that Hope’s Peak is no ordinary school. In reality, he and the group find themselves trapped inside and learn that the only way to "graduate" is to murder a fellow student and fool everyone in a trial that determines life or death! Led by the whimsically-cruel, teddy-bear-like Monobear, Naegi and the others must do whatever it takes to escape this bizarre, deadly game.

Both anime have a large cast of characters each with a unique personality and background. They also both are dark/mystery and overall have a similar feel.

The Lost Village and Danganronpa have a few similarities, both anime involve a big cast of quirky characters, that seem like they all belong on different/seperate shows.
Both shows are a mystery, and the characters try to figure out what's going on. People tend to turn on each other and accuse each other of things (That they accused usually didn't do).
Both shows also have a detective character as well.

Small village in the middle of nowhere
mysterious disappearances
strange deaths
a large group of characters involved
phychological and horror and mystery elements
main character is a young male
a strange female character who seems to know things that no one else does
All of the above are shared by both these animes, although Higurashi is a bit more complex and certainly more bloody.

if you simply need more psychological drama, look no further. Both anime are set in rural areas of Japan and both are psychological horrors, although Higurashi definitely packs in more gore.

The plot and setting are very different, but both these anime involve a number of various characters who barely know each other who are brought together due to circumstance. The main character is a young male who isn't an especially strong character and mostly just goes along with the others decisions. He has a friend who is always trying to look out for him and keep him out of trouble. Both animes are also original works.

The Lost Village and Kiznaiver have a few things in common, they both star a quirky cast of people that have nothing in common with each other. The characters also learn to understand each other, and their differences, to unite together to complete the common goal.

Lost Village and Rokka No Yuusha, have a couple of things in common. They're both mystery animes, where the characters get stuck in the middle of a forest. The characters have to figure out what is going on, and how to solve the problem. Everyone is pointing fingers at everyone, and having people go against each other.
Also, in both anime, the main character is accused of being the bad guy.

Both anime have a mystery which is to be solved by the end of the show. Characters in both anime turn against each other and suspect everyone until the true culprit is revealed.

Both anime feature a varied cast that either suffer from society-induced stress or mental fatigue, and the plot is them coming to terms with their stressors. Both anime are very psychological and it's only about half-way into the anime that things start clicking together. Due to the wide casts, hinted action scenes, and general mystery, these two are very similar in structure. So, if you liked one, you might like the other.

To say much will spoil either show but themes in both are VERY present. Especially near the ending of either show.

Both revolve around the tragic back stories of each character. Though not in the awesome way that Bakemonogatari does :3

You know what, while I was looking at Mayoiga I was also reminded feintly of The Fruit of Grisaia. There's an episode in Grisaia where a similar situation like the one featured in Mayoiga with the bus trip and all happens. Different outcomes and whatnot but still kind of a funny connection. Both anime are Mystery/Romance/Suspense/Gore/Survival/Seinen/Adult Themes
Angel Beats!

Immortality is within reach, but if Otonashi remembers how he died, will he keep fighting or allow himself to vanish?

-Both series treats about a group of misfits who enter into a place where they confront their traumas of the past. In Mayoiga, the characters are alive and in Angel Beats, the characters are spirits.
-Though they start off very differently, the eventual idea of both series centres around a cast of characters with internal scars which prevent them from leaving the place they are trapped in. Angel Beats is more slice of life-ish while Mayoiga is more centred around mystery.
-Both have many characters, focused on the lives of some of them, the characters whose lives were not happy, appear in one place, to let their wishes are fulfilled.
