Slice Of Life Anime With Muscular Mc

Anime is known for its outrageous character designs. While some are huge hits, some are an instant thumbs down. One would think that with the wide variety of colors and art styles studios have to play around with, similarities would be few and far between.

However, that is not the case. Characters that look eerily similar to each other are fairly common. Sometimes it's because they come from the same studio with the same art styles, and sometimes it's because studios want to capitalize on the popularity of more famous characters. Either way, when it happens it can be jarring indeed.

10 Shiroyuki (Snow White With The Red Hair) & Chise (The Magician's Bride)

Shiroyuki is a kind hearted girl with a will of steel. She flees from her kingdom to get away from the clutches of a predatory prince, and ends up being the Court Herbalist of the Kingdom of Clarines.

Chise was found by Elias Ainsworth at an auction, where he purchased her for a huge sum and brought her home. There, he told her that she was to be his wife and that will spend the rest of her time becoming her apprentice and wife. Both characters have fire-red hair with similar bangs, in addition to big green eyes.

9 Shunsuke (Sanrio Boys) & Thoth (Kamigami No Asobi)

Shunsuke is an outgoing boy who loves sports, as is evidenced by his muscular body. But one thing he loves even more than sports is the Hello Kitty.

Thoth is an Egyptian God who possesses all the wisdom in the entire universe. In this reverse anime, he is a main character, whose most telling personality traits are his pride, confidence, and his stern behavior. Like Shunsuke, Thoth has short white hair, and both men have thin, athletic builds and frequently bare their chests.

8 Saber (Fate Series) & Violet (Violet Evergarden)

Saber is one of the most popular characters from the Fate anime, novels, and video game. Her blond hair (usually tied in milkmaid braid style) is one of her most defining physical features, as are her green eyes.

With a similar hairstyle but possessing blue eyes, Violet could easily be Saber's long lost twin. Especially seeing how she herself has been a weapon used in many wars.

7 Renshou (Inu X Boku) & Rin Matsuoka (Free!)

Renshou Sorinozuka is a youkai in his slice of life anime. His tan skin, red hair and the tattoo on his face are one of the first things people notice about him. Ririchiyo fondly calls him "brother".

Rin is the primary antagonist of the first season of Free! His red hair has always been his most unique feature, and he's known among his friends for his short temper, especially whenever Haru's name is mentioned.

6 Rin (Blue Exorcist) & Gray (Fairy Tail)

Gray has a carefree personality, but he always comes through whenever his help is needed. He can often be seen getting into verbal and physical arguments with his best friend Natsu.

Rin is the older of the Okumura twins, but because of his laid back and childish attitude, he's always assumed to be the younger twin. Like Gray, he constantly bickers with his brother Yukio but at the end of the day he's willing to lay his life down for him. Both characters also share many physical traits, especially hair style/color and eye shape.

5 Ittetsu (Haikyuu) & Riichi (The Magician's Bride)

As the faculty advisor of Karasuno High's volleyball club, Ittetsu is persistent, patient, and a perennial optimist. He is respectful of others and always polite in his speech, which is why he's liked by everyone.

Riichi makes an appearance in Maho Tsukai no Yome: Hoshi Matsu Hito, the anime's OVA. He too has a gentle and likeable personality. Like Ittetsu, he can sometimes be clumsy and awkward as well, and both men are bespectacled with similarly tussled hair.

4 Moral (Hamatora) & Undertaker (Kuroshitsuji)

As the primary antagonist of Hamatora, Moral is an intelligent and sadistic serial killer. He doesn't hesitate to use, manipulate, or kill people to get what he wants.

For the first two seasons of Kuroshitsuji, Undertaker is shown as an eccentric side character. In the movie Book Of Atlantic, his true nature is revealed– he is the primary antagonist who's responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people. The two characters favor each other via their long white hair, piercing eyes, and unsettling smiles.

3 Kakeru (Run Like The Wind) & Kageyama (Haikyuu!!)

Kakeru's bluntness is often confused with rudeness. Initially disliked by his fellow runners, he eventually makes a place in their hearts as a good friend. He also learns to be direct without offending people's sensibilities.

Like Kakeru, Kageyama used to be short-tempered and extremely arrogant about his skills, due to which he was shunned by his teammates. At his new school, his new teammates give him a chance, and he shines– both as a volleyball player and as their friend. Both boys have the same color and style of hair as well as identical face shapes (most notably their pointed chins).

2 Kamina (Gurren Lagann) & Galo (Promare)

As the protagonist of Gurren Lagan, Kamina is loud-mouthed, arrogant, and hot-headed. He acts before he thinks and is always in constant need of validation via compliments. He also has shown consistent disrespect towards girls.

On the other hand, Galo of Promeopolis is slightly air-headed but an extremely loyal and devoted individual. He owes his life to his city's mayor and repays his debt by becoming a fire-fighter in his city, whose main aim is to get rid of the Burnish terrorists.

1 Armin (Attack On Titan) & Hozumi (Prince Of Stride)

As the tritagonist of the series, Armin is shown to be a timid yet brilliant young boy. He follows his friends' footsteps and becomes a soldier of the Survey Corps. With the passage of time he starts playing a more important role in the series.

Hozumi is popular among his friends for his androgynous appearance. Like Armin, he's a brave young boy who smiles even when he's in great physical pain. His dream is to find a job in the theater after he graduates from school.
