Both stories here focus on adults, who have mentalities to match. People who have become used to being alone in their minds, and with mature characters, you also get some greyer tones. Both stories will have warming moments and bittersweet ones, so if you like the slight edge to either story, maybe give the other a go.

Both shows are the only shows I would dare to compare with Life: Senjou no Bokura. So I’ll also mention that here because really, I think if you can appreciate any of the three, the others will be enjoyable to you too.

There’s a very specific feel to Life: Senjou no Bokura, and it’s a very neutrally told story - by that I’m referring to a greyer tone. There’s very few shows I’d compare it with; but if you like the feel of Jack O’ Frost, you can find that again in Life: Senjou no Bokura and vice versa.

The plots are totally different and I’d also say don’t be quick to judge either by its synopsis - both are shows I’d dismiss looking at the synopsis but they carry themselves well if you give them a chance.

Totally different plots at a surface level. Strangers From Hell is by far more sinister while All of Us Are Dead is upfront with its brutality. However, if you enjoy stories that dismantle humanity, you may well enjoy both titles.

Another contrast is that, while both focus on humanity, Strangers From Hell picks normal people apart piece by piece, whereas All of Us Are Dead uses a catastrophe to bring out the absolute best - and worst - of its characters. As far as viewer experience goes, Strangers From Hell twists you along with it, whereas All of Us Are Dead makes you a witness, but you probably won’t lose yourself in quite the same way.

Both titles share an uncanny portrayal of people who innately feel off. Strangers From Hell immediately came screeching to my mind while watching Friendly Police.

The major difference between the two is that Strangers From Hell has a male protagonist while Friendly Police’s is female. The way events occur in the two are different; with a focus on what happens AROUND Jong Woo in Strangers from Hell versus what happens TO Ah Rin in Friendly Police.

Both of these have this slice of life feel to them. They’re fundamentally both films about two men, and the lives they live, their home lives, and the impact their feelings may have on all these. They’re also both graceful on the difficult topics of a homophobic home environment. Life takes place over a far longer stint of time, whereas Twilight’s kiss focuses on the time that is now.

If you like more subtle, realistic, and human focused themes, then I would recommend either of these if you have enjoyed either one already.

Hiru and Risky are both thrillers that have the viewer constantly questioning what they see. They also present a surface layer of normality much like the world we live in, and it’s what lurks beneath the surface that they focus on.

In terms of plot, they are not at all similar at all. However, if you enjoy a certain style of thriller, you may well enjoy both.

Both are psychological thrillers with a focus on humanity. The plots are totally different, but overall if you have enjoyed one you’re likely to enjoy the other. They both build around the perception of others and both protagonists have found themselves stuck in the situations they land in.

Both of these stories feature a more mature angle on BL/Gay Relationships. Dark Blue and Moonlight is heavier than WBL, but the bittersweet tone is tangibly similar between the two. They both follow a pair who face a long separation with feelings attached. Also, both of them are set outside of an educational setting.
