Similarities

Redo of Healer & That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime are both fantasy anime where the male protagonist starts off as a weakling but becomes incredibly overpowered later.

Synopsis

On the brink of death, Satoru makes some seemingly senseless requests and gets reincarnated in another world as a slime with the ability called “predator”. The predator’s ability grants him to devour anything and mimic their appearance and abilities.

3. Elfen Lied

The main reason why I find them similar is because of how the main protagonists get revenge on people who hurt them in the past.

It is bloody, gory, and dark. Simply put, it’s BRUTAL.

2. Goblin Slayer

• Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy

Similarities

Both are dark fantasy anime where the main character goes through a lot of psychological trauma and decides to get revenge for his life purpose.

They both contain gore and suggestive content.

Synopsis

1. Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (The Rising of the Shield Hero)

• Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy
• Episodes: 25

Similarities

The most similar anime to Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi is The Rising of the Shield Hero. Honestly, these two are almost the same except for the fact that Redo of Healer is worse in terms of quality & story. Consider this a major upgrade!

The Rising of the Shield Hero is also set in a medieval fantasy world and the main protagonist is considered the weakest regarding his abilities, just like in Redo of Healer. He gets betrayed by a cruel princess but does not give up and becomes overpowered. He later also gets demi-human cuties as his loyal companions (one of them is also from a slave trader, so the same as in Redo of Healer).

Now, this is where they differ. While Redo of Healer focuses on the main protagonist getting brutal revenge, The Rising of the Shield Hero’s main character decides to prove them wrong while still sticking to high moral standards.

Synopsis

Naofumi Iwatani, an ordinary Japanese boy, gets summoned to an alternate world as a “Shield Hero”, the weakest out of the four summoned heroes. Their sole purpose in this world is to fight inter-dimensional hordes of monsters called Waves.

Unfortunately, not all that glitter is gold. Not only is his equipment the weakest, but he also gets betrayed by the sole companion who agrees to follow him on his journey. The future looks grim until he stumbles upon a tanuki demi-human girl and a mysterious egg that later hatches into a bird-like creature.
