Anime Series Like Angels of Death

Rachel awakens to find herself trapped in the basement of an abandoned building. After wandering around, lost, dizzy, and without her memories, she happens across a man in full bandages named Zach. Together, they try to find a way to escape from their bizarre circumstance.

Originally a horror game then being adapted to a manga, Angels of Death really captures the feeling of playing a horror game, in both the good and the bad ways. If you are a fan and are looking for more anime recommendations like Angels of Death, then descend below.




For Fans of Escape



Deadman Wonderland

Ganta Igarashi is pumped up for his class trip to the prison amusement park where inmates fight for the public’s amusement. However, when all his classmates are viciously murdered by a mysterious man in red, Ganta gets blamed for the crime and thrown into the very amusement park he was so excited to visit.

While the prison in Deadman Wonderland is a bit roomie, both shows have a focus on a set of main characters escaping their surroundings. Furthermore, you also unravel a mystery throughout the series and watch a game of death play out as you do so. You also have the pleasure of watching a bunch of weird characters as well.



Kaiji

Kaiji Itou is a thug in the truest sense. With his days spent drinking and stealing hubcaps, his world is turned upside down when a co-worker tricks him into taking on a huge debt. In order to pay it off, Kaiji takes up a shady offer to participate in illegal gambling on a cruise ship that is filled with even worse scumbags than him.

Gambling and the game in Angels of Death aren’t particularly similar, but in both shows you watch morally dubious characters do whatever it takes to escape their situations. While Kaiji is a little less violence, don’t you think that the stakes are any lower just because Kaiji deals with money.



Btooom!

Unemployed and living with his mother, Ryouta Sakamoto’s only real achievement is being the top player in Japan of a video game called Btooom! However, one day he wakes upon on an island with nothing but a small green crystal embedded in his hand. He soon finds out that someone wants him and others players to play Btooom! for real.

While Angles of Death is a survival game, there is a little more mystery and intrigue to the situations. However, Btooom is much more straight-forward with what they want the characters to do. However, both series progress very much like how a game would and each new situation draws you in further.

For Fans Horror Game Adaptations



Corpse Party

On the night after the school’s cultural festival, eight students and their teacher gather to say goodbye to a friend that is moving to another school. While it was a fun time of telling scary stories, they decide to perform a ritual that will assure that they are together forever. However, what they don’t realize is that their school is build atop an elementary school where a series of gruesome murders took place many years before. After doing their spell, the groups finds themselves transported to another dimension where they are trapped inside the old elementary school building that is now home to only corpses and vengeful ghosts.

Both shows started off as a horror game. As such, sometimes you see more of the game in the anime than things you would expect like good characters or character development. While the gore is great in Corpse Party and the mystery is great in Angels of Death, the other aspects in both shows could use a little work.



Danganronpa

Hope’s Peak Academy is a prestigious school that accepts only the most talented students. In order to become accepted to the school, a student must excel in an area in order to bear a special title. In one particular year, only fifteen students are accepted. However, upon stepping onto the campus, one such student, Super High School-Level Luck student Makoto Naegi collapses. When he awakens, he finds himself and his classmates sealed in the school and told by resident bear and principal Monokuma that if they want to escape, they must kill a classmate and get away with it.

Both shows are based on a game. Furthermore, both shows are essentially in the same setting – a closed space they must escape from. However, the rules as to how to escape are different in each series, yet good enough to keep you watching.



Higurashi: When They Cry

Keiichi Maebara just moved from Tokyo with his family to the small town of Hinamizawa in the summer 1983. As the town is so small, school children of all ages are lumped into one class. There he becomes fast friends with four girls where he spends his days after school idly playing games. However, as the town’s annual festival approaches, he learns about a series of murders, disappearances, and other mysteries that surround it. When he confronts his friends, he finds them mysteriously tight-lipped.

Both of these shows that are adaptations of horror games do at least one thing really well. They craft a mystery that keeps you watching. While Higurashi excels in a lot of other areas, Angels of Death falls a little short in some regards.

For Fans of High Stake Games



Death Parade

After death, there is no heaven or hell, but there is a bar that decides whether you reincarnate or disappear into oblivion. Pairs of the recently deceased must play a random game which decides their fate.

In Angels of Death, much of the whole series literally feels like a game with death on the line. However, Death Parade is a little more straight-forward. The show is about playing games to decide their place in the afterlife, so the death is assured, but their existence is not. It’s like a continuation if any character in Angels of Death were to die.



Tower of Druaga

Every few years when the sky-god Anu extends his protection, the monsters in the Tower of Druaga weaken and adventurers go forth for fame and fortune, trying to reach the top. Like many adventurers, Jil is young and ready to make the push towards the top. While inexperienced in the Tower, his combat skills have the promise for him to go the distance.

Angels of Death is essentially a dungeon crawler with a horror element. The move up each floor and face new challenges. Tower of Druaga is a more traditional dungeon crawler because it lacks the horror element in lieu of traditional fantasy. Furthermore, this series was also based off a game and has several throwbacks to it.



Phi Brain

Kaito Daimon is an exceptionally average student, except for his demonic ability to solve puzzles. He is so good that when asked to take a special test of his ability, he suspects that the test is a different sort of test. Suddenly, he finds himself caught up in the lethal Philosopher’s Puzzle, a murderous maze of traps where one failed puzzle means a horrible death.

The similarities are obvious here, the characters are trapped in a closed space and must either use their wit or violence to survive. Needless to say, Phi Brain is excessively more clever, but Angels of Death has its own charms as well.
