The same mafia family theme with supernatural power. of coz with more shoujo feel/ romance in arcana than katekyo 
report Recommended by sabgian
Both series are presented as an anime based off of an otome game aimed at the female demographic. Both series contain the reverse harem genre as well as action, comedy, and drama. There is also supernatural elements involved.

The two Anime have detailed styles. The characters also make contracts that have some sort of cost in order to gain a special power. The characters also discover things about themselves and those around them as the story progresses.

The area is ruled by a mafia style rule that is meant to protect the community the people care so much about. Special powers are involved and the stories have a bit of mystery to them.

Similar Reverse Harem Main guys are represented by card suits.( Clover, Heart, Spade, Diamond, even Joker) Similar character designs. While in Arcana Famiglia they are represented by Tarot cards. 
report Recommended by AnimeFan500
Both Anime contain factions that control what is going on and there is a battle to see who ends up controlling what is going on in the end. They have similar styles with variations and similar humor to each other.

Mafia families, need I say more? How about interesting characters and a supernatural twist? How about nice humor being built into this.

Magi is what Arcana tried to be like (except Arcana failed at doing so). They both have somewhat similar settings, superpowers and magic, good looking male characters (an eccentric blonde guy in both) and action. (a lot more in Magi though)

- Both Soushi and Luca have the same seiyuu, Nakamura Yuuichi. They also serve a rich girl, who they fall in love with. - Both female characters strive to become independent. Ririchiyo decides to move to Ayakashi Kan, while Felicita decides to participate in the Arcana Duello.  
report Recommended by Killerwaves
- Both Felicita and Saito have more than one contract. Felicita makes contracts with two cards, while Saito makes contracts with two masters. - Both animes have a main character surrounded by many characters of the opposite gender. Zero no Tsukaima F is a harem, while Arcana Famiglia is a reverse harem.  
report Recommended by Killerwaves
Both somehow deal with magic and are very enjoyable. They also have kind of similar characters so as if you enjoyed Magi, you shall try Arcana Famiglia(AF). AF has much better made music and it will draw you in in a few episodes.

based from otoge too reverse harem and tomboy protagonist 
report Recommended by chichanchi
The undertone of kuroshitsuji is very similar to Arcana. There is comedy in some senses, and a dark power or powers that one or many use. When watching Arcana I see the resemblance to Kuroshitsuji by character interaction and the way the story happens.

Similar Plot getting separate powers for each character and a little back story for each character also similar to Letter Bee same story telling

based from otoge too reverse harem 
report Recommended by chichanchi
Shoujo harems with similar art styles which both take place in similar European style towns. The feeling they give off is similar and they have a similar mix of comedy and drama with some action.

How these anime are similar: ~ Action! Aoharu x Kikanjuu is all about gunfights, while Arcana Famiglia was all about diffrent fighting styles. Still awesome though!!! ~ Has 2 guys (Aoharu x Kikanjuu) and more (Arcana Famiglie) guys following a girl around. ~ [spoiler]The main character from Aoharu x Kikanjuu is a girl who dresses like a guy, so it's sweet to watch the relationship grow without them knowing she's a girl.[/spoiler] ~ Both female main characters are string and don't rely on others. They can do things on their own. ~ The guys from the anime both have an obvious attraction (in my opinion) towards the main character. ~ Genre:  read more

A cute girl who's a badass, a bevy of pretty boys who may or may not have romantic feelings for our MC, MC's regular interaction with each one of the boys, decent number of action scenes and good quality animation - this is what's common between these two anime. If you liked one, you're definitely gonna enjoy the other

Both Dance with devils and Arcana Famiglia are anime series that feature of supernatural characters, with a focus on battles and romance. Both series have an emphasis on the supernatural elements of magic and demonic creatures, while Arcana Famiglia also adds a heavy emphasis on Greek mythology and the legends of the Gods. Both series also have an emphasis on the characters’ relationships and emotions, rather than just the fight scenes and they both have a reverse harem and the guys are a mix of both cute and hot.

What these two anime have in common: ~Action, AcTiOn, ACTION!!!! Ass-kicking action!!!! ~Comedy. (Somewhat) ~Features strong heroines that had to sacrifice things. ~Girl Heroine has (Yumekui Merry) 1 or more than one (Arcana Famiglia) guys following them around. ~Fantasy appears in Yumekui Merry, while Arcana Famiglia features somewhat more magical things, like their abilities, if one can call it that.

Arcana Famiglia and Mamotte Lollipop have a similar plot; Both men want to protect and save the girl the main girl. The characters are also similar too for instance Nova is like Zero, Liberta is like Nina and Felicità is Like Ichii.

Main character likes to stick her nose in everyone else's business. Family has abilities based on Tarot cards/Zodiac Signs. Am I the only one who sees the similarities? 
report Recommended by Rijichan
Rather than a Mafia house, Vampire knight uses an academy, and Cross Yuuki is the daughter of the Headmaster, similar to Felicita. There is sort of a reverse Harem with two main guys fighting for the girl's heart. A lot of the vampires have personalities similar to the other gang members in Arcana Famiglia.

Fighting teens that are badass? Serious but not try hard serious. There's jokes and stuff. Man this review sucks. Just watch it, you'll like it. Side note: the opening theme is pretty good if you liked the Soul Eater one.

Similar reverse harem based on an Otome game. In both Arcana Famgilia and Hanayaka, the head of the family is retiring and now one must be chosen to become the next heir.  
report Recommended by AnimeFan500
Similar styles, similar quirky humor. The story line have a nice light side to them but also a darker side to balance the story out. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
You wonder why I'd recommend two animes that have a different plot and setting? The answer is simple: these two otome/reverse Harem anime differ greatly from your typical otome anime where you have a passive heroine who seems to have no personality other than being the girl that all guys find irresistible. Here you have for the first time: - In Arcana Famiglia, the heroine just doesn´t stand in a corner being led around, she actually fights for what she wants and she is able to defend herself and make her own choices. - In Norn9 you have not one but three heroines, which is extraordinary  read more

Shojo harem anime where the characters fighting for justice  
report Recommended by Miss-Cherry
Assassins versus mafia. Both groups are secretive. Also, both Anime revolve around fire headed young lady with reddish colored hair. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
The main character is a female teamed up with male characters from the same group. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
Specifically referring to the later parts of the Anime for Bleach, both Anime have a group of people that protect the piece of their homes. Each person has a specific power that they can use. Those in Arcana Famiglia make a contract for their powers while those in Bleach have their powers derived from a part of their soul. The them of protecting what you care for is also important to both Anime.

Both Anime feature mafia family groups and have similar styles when it comes to their art work. Both are rather dark series in their own rights. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
These both have strong lead females in a mafia family(which causes struggle for them) as the main character, with the rest of the cast being primarily males. If you like good-looking males, I suggest watching Gokusen in live-action drama form. 
report Recommended by Pikangie
Both anime give a some what familiar vibe and both of them have to do with Arcana (Tarot Cards) giving them different abilities of each cards  
report Recommended by AkatsukiUlquiora
The story progresses the same you know. The main reason because both start with an awesome plot of combats until the characters reach the top. But it is not seen completely because the plot decides to go to another route. So there will be a bunch of side stories than just wathcing the plot they have stated in the first episode. By the way the first episodes of each one is almost the same I recommend it if someone wants to watch it. 
report Recommended by lkevsan
In both of the series, the characters use the power of the arcanas. Both anime have some romance and characters daily life scenes. In both series, there's a bit of action. [Recommendation based in the first four episodes of Arcana Famiglia] 
report Recommended by cspi
Both are bishounen-filled, filler-filled, 12 episodes shoujo anime with a very thin and unsatisfying plot popping out around the last minute for a "dramatic" ending.

Both are Reverse Harem + Wonderful Bishies Arcana Famiglia - Tarot Cards Starry Sky - Zodiac Signs, Astronomy

Both series are a reverse harem and the main female characters are in a "game" involving wedding.

People with special abilities fighting against each other to obtain the prize. In Mirai Nikki, each competitor uses cellphones with different abilities, In Arcana Famiglia, each competitor has a contract with an Arcana which enables them to use special power according to their Arcana. In Mirai Nikki, the winner will become the new Deus ex Machina. In Arcana Famiglia, the winner will become the next head of Arcana family and marries the current leader's daughter, Felicita. 
report Recommended by Reim_Seranth
Both have a girl with mysterious powers who's difficult to deal with. Both have the basic love triangle in denial .( one girl and two boys who won't quite yet admit they like her.) Fun atmosphere as well. 
report Recommended by nekonapping
Both anime have rebelious characters with comedy, action and a slice of romance. The main character Haru is similar to Luca from Arcana Famiglia. Every episode is entertaining and lots of hilarious moments ^^
