This thread is yet another way for me to discover some new anime series. You can compare 1 series to another for as long as you can pull it off. You can even compare 1 series to multiple series of the same type. Format for comparison is up to you.

Re: Anime Comparison Thread
Since I'm currently watching Gosick, I'm gonna compare its characters to other Detective series characters:
Kujo (Gosick) vs Kudo (Detective Conan) for the Ultimate Case Magnet Title
Grevil de Blois (Gosick) vs Mouri Kogoro (Detective Conan) vs Yako (Majin Tantei) for the Ultimate Front Act Award
Victorique (Gosick) vs L (Death Note) for the Diabetic Detective Title

Spiral the bonds of reasoning (S) VS Detective Conan (DC)
SIMILARITIES:
Theme: Mystery
Setting: Modern Japan
DIFFERENCES:
Protagonist: Narumi of S is calm and tsudere while Shinichi of DC is a bit smug and energetic when trying to cach a criminal
Character Development: Narumi is shown to be unconfident of his abilities at he beginning but begins to be more sure of himself near the end while Shinichi looses his arrogant attitude when transformed as Conan
Side Stories: S is more of a psychological manga while DC is more whodunnit manga
Violence: Since DC is a murder mystery-themed, there is more killing and thus more violence than in S
OVERALL: DC = S, there are both awesome manga
