Zero no Tsukaima

Pretty much the same except a role reversal. A problem student with no talent ends up summoning a human familiar, known in Seikoku no Dragonar as a "Parr" which is unique to everyone else. The boy character in both shows is named "dog" by their master/parr.

These shows are exactly the same. If you loved one, you will probably love the other. Technically there is a bit of a role reversal, but as far as how the characters interact, the roles are the same. The female lead if fundamentally weak with tremendous latent power, the male lead is her "sword", or in her words, her "dog". I am almost convinced that at some instances they handed the voice actors the script from Zero no Tsukaima, something I didn't mind because I am a huge fan. It is classic action, fantasy, harem, with a tsundere female lead.

Both are about a mage summoning a familiar who happens to be a humanoid character.

Before I begin, I do like Zero no Tsukaima but I like Kinsou no Vermeil much better. Now onto why they are similar and I'd recommend it.

1) Both anime's worlds are based on magic and both are based around school.
2) Both have a system for ranking how strong each mage is. Whether it be with squares or ranks/shapes
3) Both have main characters who have to summon something in order to pass their schooling. 
4) Both main characters and summons are not quite what they appear to be. 
5) In each anime both sets of main characters work their way up their world's rankings systems while being judged by others. In the case of Zero, more so.

These two anime are similar because of the romance in both of them. The familiar of zero does have more romance, but they prove to be similar. Both main characters have a "familiar" (familiar of zero) or "servant" (fate/stay night) which is meant to be their companion. There is definitely some romance that goes on between them in both anime. Another similarity is that the main guy character does sometimes experience romance with other girls, not just their master/servant. Although it is obvious that their meant to be companion is who they are destined for. There is also magic in both anime, and the main has a special ability that is only noticed as a surprise later in the anime.There is more action in fate/stay night, and it is somewhat more of a thriller, while there is more humor in the familiar of zero.  Another difference is that the main in the familiar of zero is a girl with a guy familiar, and in fate/stay night, the main is a guy with a girl servant. Both anime were very impressive and if you liked one, you will definitely like the other as well. read more

As both anime focus on magicians with their "summoned helper", the plots are rather different at some points. First they share the similarity of "doing what is right" which will lead to the inevitable dilemma's. In both series the main characters develop a love relationship with their "helpers".

The differences between the series are more at a sub-level: Zero no Tsukaima focusses more on humor and the main plot, so the action is more a side-show, where in Fate/stay Night the action is a bigger part of the show. Also, Zero no Tsukaima has some elements of ecchi in it. Where this usually is not a problem.

But then I started noticing some other similarities.
In both series, there is a bossy girl that drags a guy into her crazy world. And that treats him like a slave. I still think that if Louise and Haruhi ever met, they would probably be very good friends. Kyon and Saito are both completely normal (big-boobs-lovers), japanese guys. 
In both of the series, there are weird adventures that shouldn't happen to normal students. Haruhi & co. fight cave-criquets, Louise and co. have to deal with water spirits. 
The type of humor they use is looked alike too. There aren't stupid jokes, but there are parts of both series that make us laugh. 
Both animes have a ecchi feeling to them. (BIG BOOBS EVERYWHERE!!!) And they both express it in the same way. 
So, as in conclusion, someone who watched and liked one of the animes will certainly like the other.

Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase addpermalink

The male leads are expected to serve the female leads but are often unsatisfactory though they are proven to have hidden capabilities later on. The female leads are tsundere characters, while the male leads both develop attachments and become loyal to the females. Both the shows are of the fantasy genre. And the plots basically have the same "band-together-to-defeat-the-forces-of-evil" type of theme, but aren't really very similar. They both also have fanservice. 

report Recommended by Parenthetical

In both anime an unwilling male has to become the slave of a Tsundere Loli due to some magical ritual. Both male leads don't want this at all, which leads to a lot of frustration on the female lead's part because they expect the males to follow their every command. Aside from this the main characters are pretty similair too. Both are cute but bossy tsundere lolis, that expect the male lead to do whatever they say, and get easily jealous when the male lead gets along well with another girl. And the male leads are both easy going laid back guys that refuse to be slaves to their "masters" at first, however after a while they start developing feelings for their "masters" and start kinda accepting their roles as servants. Also both the female and male leads in both anime posses a special hidden power that they are unaware of at the beginning, but learn to master towards the end. Eventually the main characters in both anime develop feelings for eachother, and the typical awkwardness that comes with tsundere romance ensues. 
Personally I liked Zero no Tsukaima better than Tsukuyomi Moonphase, because the romance and comedy was better in ZnT. Also ZnT had a far better ending, and much less plot holes. I guess that the main diffrence between the two is that while ZnT is also a harem anime with slight ecchi moments (nothing too perverted however), Tsukuyomi Moonphase focuses on one heroine only (altough there are some other characters with slight feelings for the male lead, its not really at a harem anime level tough). Also in ZnT the male lead gets transported to another (Harry Potter like) world filled with magicians, while Moonphase simply takes place in our world. 

If you liked one of the two you should definatelly check out the other one too. Chances are you'll like ZnT more, but if you're into vampires and a slightly darker story Tsukuyomi Moonphase is the way to go for you. read more

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu addpermalink

The main thing in common between those two anime is the fact that the main character goes to a fantasy world where he gains an incredible power.
Re:Zero is more psychological and Zero no Tsukaima is more of a harem, romance but both of them have good action.
You may find it annoying that those main characters don't try to go back to their main world, but in the end both series are a lot of fun.

Kuro no Shoukanshi addpermalink

On the surface, there might not seem like any similarities, yet the main male protagonist of Kuro no Shoukanshi is similar to the female protagonist of Zero no Tsukaima in that they don't let anything get in their way. Both series also have their own ways of putting the overpowered character on it's head, with one preferring to go unnoticed and remain free while the other - the overpowered one isn't the person who fell into the world, but instead his companion.

Shugo Chara! addpermalink

Both have a stubborn main character with pink hair. I sont think by means of plot they are really alike, but I think that if you enjoy one you would like the other. Zero no Tsukaima is more straightforward and romantic about the character's feeling's.

Both have the genre of magic, a very compelling atmosphere, and the use of Familiars.

Asu no Yoichi! addpermalink

Both series deal with a teenager boy who get caught up in a different world, filled with adventures, new people and action/ecchi-packed scene's. Although one goes from the woods to the city, and the other one goes from the Human World to a Magic World, there are alot of similarities, namely the misunderstandings in relationships, the hardships they have to go through to find their (true) "love".

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records addpermalink

The mains characters are forced to go to a magic school and save the world. One as a teacher and the other as the worst student's pet, but both of them have fun all along the way.

Girls Bravo: First Season addpermalink

Both are ecchi, contain magic, and in a mystical setting. The characters are similar too. Also, in both the animes the main girl has pink hair and the main boy has blue hair.

Macademi Wasshoi! addpermalink

The beginnings are very similar.
The only real difference is that Zero no Tsukaima has a bit more going for it when it comes to romance, while Macademi WAsshoi! had some of the best comedy I've ever seen in an anime.

The main characters are complete opposites, but are bound by a contract and end up working together for a certain goal. Also, both are romance, but a frustrating "love triangle" happens between the main male character, the main female character and a close friend of the male character. (Harem) Both main male protagonists are blue haired and wield swords. Also a similar feel and atmosphere of both of the animes, and great (but frustrating romance) and stories.

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk addpermalink

Much better than other recommendations! My favorite anime is Zero no Tsukaima and I watched handfull of most recommended but didn't like those. However Gakusen Toshi Asterisk is really the answer if you search for sth like Zero no Tsukaima

Love Hina addpermalink

Both center around a romantic pairing made obvious at the beginning and beset by challenges in the form of other interested women, and both go to greater-than-average lengths, for the one-guy-multiple-girls approach, to flesh out their casts. Both feature a tsundere female lead who seems to enjoy nothing more than abusing the male lead. Love Hina has less magic, but its various side plots are often no less fantastical than if it did have magic.

Kannagi addpermalink

Both have female leads with supernatural powers and have the male leads wrapped around their little fingers.

Kore wa Zombie desu ka? addpermalink

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and Zero no Tsukaima both take a male lead and force him into a crazy supernatural situation as he is forced to fight through life threatening battles and tsunderes. Each show has very compelling action moments as well as some very funny and or awkward situations which get them mislabelled and treated as perverts. Each show does a  great job of taking an old concept and mocking it with great ranges of funny and enjoyable characters and concepts, though Zero no Tsukaima takes it self a little more seriously than Kore wa Zombie desu ka, Each anime is equally a great watch
