* Given the similar premises, there's an overlap of fans from ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' as well, with Amity noted to have similarities to Diana Cavendish, with her dynamic with Luz calling to mind Diana's with Akko (albeit [[spoiler:without the romantic angle]]). The main difference with Akko and Luz, however, is that [[spoiler:Akko originally had magic before Shiny Chariot's magic spell sapped it away but Luz somehow has a huge potential of it despite being a human.]]

* Fans of some Supernatural themed franchises such as ''Wizarding World'', ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', and even ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' like the show too.

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* ''{{WesternAnimation/Amphibia}}'' fans also get along swimmingly with having plucky brown girls (Anne being Thai and Luz Dominican) entering strange worlds and obtaining strange and unusual families. It helps that both showrunners worked on ''Gravity Falls'' and reference that show.

Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* There's also been friendly relations with the ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'' fandom. Fans of the two shows adore the concept of a CoolLoser con artist with a heart of gold ([[CoolOldLady Eda]] and [[PhonyPsychic Reigen]]) who end up "adopting" the main protagonist who has powerful potential ([[AscendedFangirl Luz]] and [[AllLovingHero Mob]]) alongside their school friends.

** To a lesser extent, there seems to be an intersection between ''Owl House'' and Helluva's sister show ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel''; both feature a quirky bi girl as the protagonist whose love interest is a moody lesbian who would do anything for their partner, and who have a friendship with a tall, insanely powerful being with an affinity for the color red, a sentient staff/cane, a NightmareFuel inducing demon form, and a distinct AnimalMotif. At least one [=DeviantArt=] artist even made a headcanon of Eda and Alastor secretly being siblings.

* There's overlap with the fandom for ''Series/{{Wednesday}}''. Both feature Latina teen girls attending a paranormal school with an emphasis on the macabre but also acceptance. There's also the fact that [[spoiler:Joseph Crackstone is incredibly similar to Belos in motivation, evil, and sheer {{hypocri|te}}sy.]]

* There's overlap with the fandom for ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' due to both works being Disney properties with a non-white teen girl protagonist, diverse casts, and characters who transform into large versions of normally small animals. The episode "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" in particular contains multiple parallels with a character having a rocky relationship with her mother, and the mother apologizing at the end.

Added DiffLines:

!!''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''
FriendlyFandoms in this series.
----
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' converged very well. It helps that, for the former, Alex Hirsch is voicing one of the characters and for the latter, that the magical world would fit right at home in that setting and for the latter, Dana Terrace had been a director in the first season prior to this series being greenlit. The fact that Dana Terrace is Alex Hirsch's girlfriend, and that the show deliberately employs many of the motifs employed by ''Gravity Falls'', such as coded messages hidden in the art, also helps.
* ''{{WesternAnimation/Amphibia}}'' fans also get along swimmingly with having plucky brown girls (Anne being Thai and Luz Dominican) entering strange worlds and obtaining strange and unusual families. It helps that both showrunners worked on ''Gravity Falls'' and reference that show.
** Interestingly, both shows also have multiple LGBT shippings and a growing LGBTFanbase. Both protagonists are also commonly shipped with their female friends. The only difference is that while Luz is confirmed to be bisexual, [[spoiler: with Amity being her canon love interest,]] Anne is only a headcanon and her bonds with Marcy and Sasha remains as platonic with a ''ton'' of subtext to boot.
** This has grown after both shows ended with the finales of both shows featuring [[spoiler:the female main protagonist sacrificing their life for others, meeting a deity-like entity, and coming back to life, and getting a SuperMode, becoming a PhysicalGod in the process who battles their series respective SatanicArchetype alongside two of her closest allies and friends, though in differing orders of events, and ultimately end with the protagonist becoming a MessianicArchetype and with their own DistantFinale.]]
* Fans of some Supernatural themed franchises such as ''Wizarding World'', ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', and even ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' like the show too.
* Given the similar premises, there's an overlap of fans from ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' as well, with Amity noted to have similarities to Diana Cavendish, with her dynamic with Luz calling to mind Diana's with Akko. The main difference with Akko and Luz, however, is that [[spoiler:Akko originally had magic before Shiny Chariot's magic spell sapped it away but Luz somehow has a huge potential of it despite being a human.]]
* Also has this with ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', as Luz and Amity are noted to have similarities to Adora and Catra, with the latter having feelings of inadequacy, and having a prickly demeanor towards the protagonist, yet can’t bring herself to hate her. Plus, there’s some degree of LesYay between them. As a bonus, ''She-Ra'' showrunner Nate Stevenson’s wife Molly Ostertag is a staff writer for the show. That being said, much of ''She-Ra's'' fanbase carried over to this show after the former ended its run. Even ''more'' amusing, both shows had the lead couple (Catra and Adora for ''She-Ra'' and Amity and Luz for ''The Owl House'') dancing in prom with one of them wearing a tux '''and''' their dance together being the SignatureScene involving the OfficialCouple of the show! Interestingly, both Catra and Amity are cat persons (Catra being a literal CatGirl and Amity having a cat palisman). [[spoiler:After it's revealed that Lilith is the one who cursed Eda and she used Luz against her, many people have started comparing her to Shadow Weaver.]] And, the BigBad of both shows happens to be an evil emperor who has no regard for any of his underlings.
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' also get along well since both shows have unique narratives of people TrappedInAnotherWorld. It also helps that parts 2 and 3 of Book 3 for ''Infinity Train'' is the same week as the season finale for ''The Owl House'' and both shows have the penultimate episode(s) of their seasons with a {{Cliffhanger}} DownerEnding [[spoiler:involving a character transforming into a creature. Moreover, the feelings the fans have for Lilith -- for being the one to curse Eda -- is the same as those for how ''Infinity Train'' feel for Simon after he murdered Tuba and they unleash a KickTheDog moment upon the broken girl (Luz for the former and Hazel for the latter). However while Lilith redeemed herself, Simon ended up being killed]].
* There's also been friendly relations with the ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'' fandom. Fans of the two shows adore the concept of a CoolLoser con artist with a heart of gold ([[CoolOldLady Eda]] and [[PhonyPsychic Reigen]]) who end up "adopting" the main protagonist who has powerful potential ([[AscendedFangirl Luz]] and [[AllLovingHero Mob]]) alongside their school friends.
* Likewise has one with fans of ''Manga/WelcomeToDemonSchoolIrumaKun'' due to similar premises (Human kid ends up in a monster world, taken in by a powerful figure (though adopted in Iruma's case), goes to a magic school and befriends a few of the residents).
* There are also fans of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', mostly because Amity is voiced by the same VA for Katara, Creator/MaeWhitman. Fans have even gone as far as comparing Hunter to Zuko as they are both misguided 16-year old boys with facial scars, trying to earn approval and affection from the BigBad. The episode "Eclipse Lake" boosted those the parallels between the two shows, with Amity using Abomination magic in a similar form to waterbending, as well as Amity and Hunter fighting in a green cave, even after Amity tries to reason with him, similar to the season 2 finale of [=ATLA=].
* An intersection exists between ''Owl House'' and ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' fans, as both shows are [[HorrorComedy Horror-Comedies]] with supernatural & fantastic elements, both contain [[LGBTFanbase LGBTQ representation]], and both have involvement from Creator/EricaLindbeck. They also have prominent owl characters.
** To a lesser extent, there seems to be an intersection between ''Owl House'' and Helluva's sister show ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel''; both feature a quirky bi girl as the protagonist whose love interest is a moody lesbian who would do anything for their partner, and who have a friendship with a tall, insanely powerful being with an affinity for the color red, a sentient staff/cane, a NightmareFuel inducing demon form, and a distinct AnimalMotif. At least one [=DeviantArt=] artist even made a headcanon of Eda and Alastor secretly being siblings.
* [=TOH=] fans are on good terms with fans of the manga ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier''. In fact, many WHA fans are also fans of ''The Owl House''. This is largely due to the similar premise of a young girl discovering the world of magic, but also the darker aspects of magic society. This friendship was only further compounded when it was revealed that both the creators of ''The Owl House'' and ''Witch Hat Atelier'' are apparently [[https://twitter.com/shirahamakamome/status/1502532697142755330?cxt=HHwWhIDUyd_hiNopAAAA big fans of each other's works.]]
* Quite a few ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' got into this show because of Eda being a borderline {{Expy}} of Ryoko.
* With the Annie Award winning [[Creator/{{Netflix}} Netflix-animated]] series ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'', with the premise of both shows about a protagonist dealing with the supernatural as well as lore for witches. In addition, many of the characters have many traits in common: Frida and Luz are witches-in-training, Luz and Hilda have a thing for befriending magical creatures and looking for adventure, as well as Eda and Johanna being motherly figures to the respective protagonists. There has also been crossover fanart of the main characters such as [[https://www.deviantart.com/mew-me/art/Relaxing-Witches-899209401 Amity and Kaisa relaxing]] or [[https://www.deviantart.com/riadorana2/art/Luz-Noceda-And-Hilda-Play-Time-865200275 Hilda and Luz hanging out with elves]].
* With the upcoming animated series, ''WesternAnimation/{{Pibby}}''. When the trailer dropped on [=YouTube=] with massive critical acclaim, fans created Pibby-themed edits of many characters such as Willow, Gus, King, and ''even Eda'' being consumed by the glitch, leaving Luz and Amity as the sole survivors, as [[https://twitter.com/JMX641/status/1482359920939139075 one fanart by JMX641 on Twitter shows Luz and Amity helping Pibby escape]] and team up with her, Melira, and Alloy Boy to save the world. There's even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXVQOiqcuvQ a fan-animation on YouTube]] featuring Amity and Pibby interacting with each other.
* With the video game/Netflix-animated series ''[[VideoGame/{{Cuphead}} Cup]][[WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow head]]''. Fans of both ''The Owl House'' and ''The Cuphead Show'' created fan edits featuring [[https://www.deviantart.com/deaf-machbot/art/Cuphead-vs-Cuckoo-House-Hooty-in-the-fight-boss-884195902 Cuphead battling Porta Hooty (From "Echoes of The Past")]] as well as [[https://www.reddit.com/r/OwlHouseFrames/comments/itz436/cuphead_x_owl_house/ Cuphead and Mugman exploring the Boiling Isles]], as well as crossover fanfics [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO81NcMNDTY featuring Amity and Luz teaming up with Cuphead and Mugman]].
* Interestingly, with the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series, especially if ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'' or ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'' are involved. This mostly stems from Reddit, with many a crossover posts between the two, so expect a few fans of the former franchise to have posts combining the two on ''both'' Reddit channels. Even moreso that there will be a few Owl House fans asking about the said franchise, and there are fans of both on ''The Owl House'' Reddit.
* There's a little bit of friendliness with the ''[[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet 101 Dalmatian Street]]'' fandom, because both shows have a similar character: an antagonist who is [[spoiler:a young abused blonde boy named Hunter who eventually performs a HeelFaceTurn]].
* Another with ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder'' due to both series having premiered in the early 2020s, featuring a POC protagonist (Luz is Afro-Latina while Penny is African-American) with a veterinarian mother. Both series are notable for having explicit LGBTQ+ representation, and both are the first shows to feature an onscreen kiss between gay couples within their respective Disney networks/platforms[[note]]The kiss between Maya's dads Barry and Randall was ''the'' first in Disney Animation, but while streaming on Disney+, while [[spoiler:that between Luz and Amity]] was the second, but the first on Disney Channel.[[/note]]
* Interestingly, with the Australian animated series, ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'', with the show being about a female protagonist having fantastical and imaginative adventures in their respective worlds, as well as having some slice-of-life episodes in their respective series. ''Owl House'' fans have also created crossover fanart such as [[https://www.deviantart.com/carmenxero/art/This-Episode-Bluey-is-Called-The-Owl-House-930459374 Luz, Eda, and King in Bluey's character design]] or [[https://twitter.com/Citrusbluebelly/status/1622024883935875073 Bluey and Bingo hanging out in the Boiling Isles]], as well as [[https://www.deviantart.com/localpeaches/art/Bluey-and-Bingo-Clawthorne-867315487 Bluey and Bingo dressing up as Eda and Lillith]], and [[https://twitter.com/dazeddoodles/status/1621556678411042816 Luz, Eda, King, and Raine doing a reenactment of the Bluey theme song]].
* Fans of this show also turn to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' in part due to the personalities and dynamics of the main characters Suletta and Miorine being very similar to Luz and Amity's, with some even calling them the "second coming of Lumity". As if by coincidence, Witch from Mercury's 2nd Season even started airing the day after Owl House's series finale.
* There is also a decent level of overlap with the ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fandom, in part due to both shows being FeministFantasy series with substantial [[LGBTFanbase LGBTFanbases]] and ShipTease between female protagonists featuring a GenkiGirl protagonist [[spoiler:whose experiences turn her into a BrokenBird. Luz and Ruby "dying" on ''the exact same day'', April 8, is another case of this.]]
* Many fans of this show are also fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'', likely due to the sapphic OneTruePairing between main characters.
* Also one with the upcoming ''WesternAnimation/MyAdventuresWithSuperman'', as that show's take on [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] has already been compared, both in terms of look and demeanor to Luz.
