Bloodivores and Parasyte share the same premise of a foreign substance that could potentially wipe out all of humanity. Both protagonists are afflicted with the symptoms and must deal and adapt to their new environment. The goals for both animes are the same - to eradicate the threat while at the same time, understanding them better. They will learn to deal with their new found power while at the same time, understand what it feels like to be a part of humanity while at the same time, not.

The great state of Tokyo has faced a threat that had never been seen before. These mysterious entities only known as Ghouls have swarmed over the population of the city. Not much is known about them except for the fact that they feast on human flesh. Had it not been their basic needs, they would be able to co-exist with humans. The most alarming part of the Ghouls is the fact that they look completely like humans and blend right into society. Humans can no longer trust each other as there is no ways to discern a human and a ghoul on the streets.

The Ghouls of Tokyo Ghoul are reminiscent to the vampires of Bloodivores. Both groups require the flesh or blood of humans to survive. In Tokyo Ghoul however, the ghouls are heavily frowned upon and being a part of time can not only pose a threat to you by the humans, but from the ghouls as well. As such, in both animes, there are no benefits for being a part of the other. If a unique character is what you are looking for, Tokyo Ghoul may just be the next similar anime to Bloodivores!

16 year old Chizuru is the daughter of a doctor. When his work brings him away, she continues to write to him to keep in touch.

Along the way however, she was attacked by a group of samurai. That would have been normal had she not encounter a supernatural event. Chizuru was captured and escorted to the base of her captors where she found out that they were known as the Shinsengumi. Now, only time will tell what will happen to her.

Both shows are similar in the sense that the unusual beings are classed below the humans and how two individuals from both groups can form a relationship due to a chance encounter and a similar agenda. Both are pacifists and fight only when necessary in contrast to the usual bloodthirsty vampire depictions. Both animes feature characters with an extensive back story that leads up to the kind of person that they are. While not being identical, both animes have similar elements but a different story premise and setting. So if the setting or the premise of the story in Bloodivores is not to your liking, try giving Hakuoki a try to see if it matches your expectations!
