Familiar of Zero is an odd mix of different genres, and yet manages to be all the better for this reason. Part Harem, part high school drama, part romance, and part magic and wizardry, it offers a distinct experience all of its own while still providing plenty for fans of each section to enjoy, resulting in a viewing experience few may have seen before. It’s not the only show to ever manage this, however, and these five anime are perfect if you’re looking for something similar.

Anime Like Familiar of Zero if You’re Looking for Something Similar
Much like Familiar of Zero, Bakemonogatari blends several genres together for a premise and characters that can’t be beat. Following the high schooler-turned-paranormal investigator Araragi Koyomi, viewers watch as he encounters several women in need of help after they are possessed by strange apparitions.
Unlike other harem anime though, their fates are largely decided by their own actions, with Araragi taking a back seat to provide commentary, comic relief and occasionally a bone-crunching blow or two. It’s a visually stunning show that needs to be seen to be believed, and a perfect fit for anyone looking for something different.
