Sword Gai
Similarities – Lore & World-Building
Sword Gai is an anime based on the manga of the same name. The concept and world building are by far the big highlights here, but aside from a couple of characters, most are largely forgettable. The protagonist, Gai, is a likable but flawed character who is easy to root for. However, the show’s other characters are largely forgettable and don’t really add anything to the story.
The action does go some way to disguise this lack of depth, but it does dampen the prospects of this one a bit. ..
While Sword Gai may not be the most critically acclaimed anime out there, it does have some standout moments that make for an enjoyable watch. ..

Castlevania
Similarities – Story & Deep World-Building
Castlevania is a popular video game that has been adapted to the big screen multiple times, but each adaptation has been worse than the last. This latest attempt, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, is one of the worst offenders.
