Released in 2019, the movie Promare created by Studio Trigger became an instant hit among critics. Written by Kazuki Nakashima and directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, the movie's animation was unanimously praised for not only being of extremely high quality, but for using a pastel color palette that isn't often seen in anime movies for adults.
Comparisons were instantly made by Trigger's previous series like Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill because of their similar art designs and character tropes. However, those fans who are looking to enjoy movies with similar plots, animation or characters as shown in Promare, here's an excellent list for them.
10 Gurren Lagann
There's no denying the similarities between these shows - right from their animation, to their characters (how Galo is basically Kamina) and how even their premise is basically the same. Those fans who enjoyed one anime are sure to like the other, especially seeing how both were made by Trigger studio.
9 Kill La Kill
Student council president Satsuki Kiryuuin rules the Honnouji Academy, and her Elite Four treats everybody else like dirt. Ryuuko Matoi is dejected when she loses a challenge against them, but hope appears in the form of Senketsu, which is a sentient being called God Clothes. Created by the same studio as Promare, fans will enjoy the crazily drawn animation unique to both these shows.
8 Fire Force
The Special Fire Force was created in order to tackle with the menace of Infernals, people who have the ability to burst into flames spontaneously. These powers lead to being used for nefarious purposes, and pyrokinetic Shinra Kusakabe joins the task force in order to do his best. But little does he know what (mis)adventures lie for him in the future.
7 Redline
Redline is a car racing event with just one rule - no rules allowed! It is one of the universe's most popular competition, and JP is a newbie who aspires to win this competition, no matter what the costs. But this year he participates in the year criminals are also allowed to participate, which ups the ante because now he's literally racing in a bid to stay alive.
6 No. 6
Shion is a young and naive boy, living the perfect life, who once helps a young refugee boy out of the goodness of his heart. His actions bear heavy consequences though, because he's forced to give up his elite status and work as a humble nobody. However, his eyes are opened when the young boy he'd once saved, Nezumi, shows him the horrors surrounding his very perfect city.
5 Fractale
Set in an alternate reality, futuristic technology has made it possible for select groups of humans to live in what has been described as Utopia. However, a young boy who aspires to live the life he's always dreamed of, finds his dreams shattered because the presence of a mysterious person in his life changes the way he looks at everything.
4 Terror in Resonance
Two young boys, who go by the names of Twelve and Nine, have been terrorizing the people of Japan. They're responsible for several bomb explosions, but surprisingly not a single person was killed in any one of those explosions.
A special task force is created to catch these criminals, and Detective Kenjirou Shibazaki takes the lead on this one. However, he realizes he gets a lot more than he bargained for when he starts believing that the terrorists may not be as wrong as everybody believes.
3 Psycho-Pass
Set in a futuristic Japan, people now live life alongside an all-seeing system called the Sibyl System. Its main aim is to assess people's emotional and mental states to find any hints of criminal intents. People are jailed simply for wanting to commit a crime, and while crime statistics have been at an all-time low, a rookie by the name of Akane Tsunemori discovers how broken the Sibyl System really is.
2 Metropolis
Kenichi and his detective uncle, Shunsaku Ban, visit the city of Metropolis, a shining example of human and robot co-existence. They are there because they're working on a case, and while searching for clues, they find a girl all alone in a forgotten alley, who can't even remember her name. The due realize that the more they try to solve their case (and help the girl) they more dirty secrets they uncover about the city of Metropolis. This anime is actually quite dated, so fans who enjoy older anime are likely to enjoy this one.
1 Tiger & Bunny
This story revolves around the lives of superheroes Kotetsu and Barnaby, who for a change, aren't 15-year-old boys that magically behave like adults. No. This series focuses on the lives of grownup/adult superheroes, and how a vast majority of their actions are controlled by their sponsors.
Every hero is in a race against time to gather as many points as possible to climb the ranks of superhero legends, and Barnaby is no exception. However, Kotetsu's laidback attitude often pulls him back.
