The type of the anime may be different, but for the overall story, i would say it's almost the same. i'm pretty sure this anime will give you the same feeling when you watched it.

i do really recommend this, this is the similar anime that you're looking for another story like this anime

Different but same, that's all i can say.. and my rate will go 10:10 as comparation between both anime.

---SPOILERS!!---

Both animes focus on a steady romantic build-up between the 2 main characters, just so it hurts more when they crush your hope of a happy ending in the last episode.

The same premise, you know the main character will die, and it eventually did without some deus ex machina and alive again.

They both are tearjerker's that take a lot of time developing the characters' bonds adding more depth to their lives.

Same concept on little girls using weapons fighting agaisnt beasts and 1 male protagonist and maybe some sad scene where some of the girls die, this anime is a must watch if you like this type of anime, so yeah......watch it.

AardvarkRex AardvarkRex says...

Similar premise in both: the world is under siege from monsters who can only be defeated by a bunch of lolis with special abilities, possibly at the cost of their own lives. There's action and loli suffering in both, but more so in Black Bullet. It's sad, man...

Littlesilverwolf Littlesilverwolf says...

Both anime occur in a half-destroyed world where monsters presents. There are only little girls as the weapons to fight the monster. In both anime, the girls need to risk their life in order to use their power to fight the monster. Even if they win, they will die due to the overuse of the power.

These 2 anime have a very similar overall feel both in comedy and in the emotional trip. While I do feel that Re:Zero's story was good I feel more satisfied with Shuumatsu's story

These anime have many similarities and yet they are really different from one another. I would recommend both.

The look and feel are quite similar.  The setting of a past of pure world destruction, check.  Leading male characters of a disintrested yet deceptively caring soft spoken gentile hanging out in a beast run world, check.  Both are dominated by non human beast like type humanoids.  Both are centered around powerful weapons kept hidden.  Sands is a better more creative story with better characters though it is somewhat modestly paced.

Epimondas Epimondas says...

Season two of Utawarerumono is closer than season one to Worldend.  Both stories take place after a devasted world pretty much ended humans except seemingly for one lone man left.  Beast like creatures dominate the new world.  Over 500 years passed for the main character from his original timeline to the current one in the story.  The lead characters are smart and have a bored go with the flow attitude. Utawarerumono is a much better anime though with great drama.  It has some oddities that may not appear in world end and World end has better animation.

Epimondas Epimondas says...

This is yet another pair of animal humanoid worlds with a human main male lead.  The leads both posess martial skills and a militaristic like dispotion or past.  They are kind of go with the flow though Dog Days' lead is a bit more proactive.  It is hard to say which is better overall.  Dog Days has alot of stereotypes and cliches too but is light hearted, fun, and entertaining.  Worldend has better animation and more lead type characters I can tell so far. Dog Days, has a bit more diversity and a richer tapestry of scenery.  Worldend is more mature themed with more in depbth graphic art and better voice work.

Both are dark and somber series that take place in a post-apocalyptic setting and follow a group of children who live a seemingly joyful pastoral life hiding the cruel truth behind their existence. Both also have a mystery plotline involving bio-experiments and the true identity of the villains.
