Seeing how these animes are both contain vampire, the theme of the animes is to break down the wall between humans and vampires. Both animes also involves school life and daily activities. There is some comedy and love interest involved in both animes so if you like Karin, you will like Vampire Knight...
Romance, vampires, and lost memories for the female protagonist, who ends up having a more important role than first glance.
Very similar art. both have a supernatural plot. In both there are many hot badass guys.
Both are about Vampires, Rosario + Vampire has more comedy aspects where as Vampire Knight is more serious.
Vampire anime ^.^

The characters in VK and Fruits Basket seem similar.

Both Tohru and Yuuki start out innocent to what's really going on around them, but as the storyline unfolds, both are determined to do whatever they can to help with the situation. (Both characters also have the same voice actor.)

Also, Kyo and Zero both have the anti-social, trying to be a tough guy and deal with my problems all by myself thing going on.
If you liked Ouran you'll probably like Vampire Knight too! The humour, artstyle and coloring of Vampire Knight kinda reminds me of Ouran, but also the fact that it's centered about a girl and many boys around her. Anyway, I can really recommend them both!
They're both about vampires, but DVB is more focus on the vampire queen than pure blooded vampires. Even so, they're both very enjoyable.
The plot is quite similar particularly in the theme of vampires and people and further developments between them.
vampire knight and special A revolve around elite high school kids with the plot focused on romance and comedy
both are reli good anime

VKG is better than VK

They aren't exactly similar, but if you really enjoyed either this one or Vampire Knight then you will love this next series (if you're into vampires of course). Vampire Knight is more focused on dark romance involved with vampires and humans with a love triangle in the mix and a dark secret that will unravel itself later in the story.
Both tell about the undeads... Vampires and Zombies.
The leading female characters somehow trapped between two male characters.
Mainly I think the producers had the same target audience for these 2 shows - probably 14 year old girls- and are in the same general genre. Having said that they're are pretty enjoyable with pseudo-dark plots and complicated relationships.

Both have "vampires among vampires".
Hakuouki is like an Edo era version of Vampire Knight. The Rasetsu, humans (originally) that turn into blood-crazed demons possessing extraordinary strength and are after the heroine's "special" kind of blood at several points in the show, strongly resemble the Level Es of VK. Both are reverse harem anime produced by Studio DEEN.
Both have mysterious atmosphere and are about supernatural events. Mai resemble Yuki, and Kazuya - Zero. Relations between them are also very similar.

Also about vampires and the differences between life and death and how fragile a human life can really be.
both has more on drama,action and especially more on blood thing xD...
Both are based in schools and have vampires. They are a little different when it comes to story though.

Both contain vampires, enough said. The art in these to animes is absolutly georgous. Good plots, secret loves, full Moons, and sexy vampires, are what makes these two animes so similar. Very unique.
Both anime are about vampires. Some vampires wish to do harm and have some sort of evil plan but the main character tries to stop them. In Vampire Guilty it takes a while for the action to start also because this anime is about more than just the action and bloodshed. It also involves romance and therefor Vampire Knight is more a shoujo while Hellsing is more a shounen.
It's an another beautiful shojo anime. It's different to Kaichou wa maid sama, but it's romantic too.
If you are looking for a more subtle vampire story, then these two may do it.

Note: Don't go into Blood-C expecting it to be like Blood +
VK is a more shojo-ish, but both series have characters with painful histories, betrayals, rankings, wars, some romance and supernatural. Though CG is much more thought provoking and grim in nature.

Both of these shows are about Vampires & both main protagonists don't remember their past because of erasure of their memories.Both are somewhat focused on romance.

Both are great if you enjoy one then you will definitely enjoy the other^_^
Gives you a similar impression of darkness and mystery.
I felt like characters design in Pandora was very, very like this one in VK, and animation is quite similar too.

they are both abou vampires and they both have a "horror" feeling.
Studio Deen animated both of them. And they both beat around the bush in the beginning, but progress as the anime goes on. Oh yeah, and they both have a bunch of bishonens.
hello starry sky is directed by Kiyomo Sayaka who also worked with Vampire Knight and they have the same art style!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus i love both animes!!!!!!!!!!
I think UtaPri is more light-hearted than Vampire Knight but they are both reverse harems set in a "special" school and have similar characters.
Both deal with vampires except less in Fortune Arterial.
They are both rather dark, and reverse harem - girl surrounded by a bunch of very hot guys. Yamato is more comedic, and a better story. Yamato doesn't have vampires, but the female lead is a girl who loves scary movies and looks like the girl from The Ring.
Creepy twins, dark tales and romantic themes. Both Monster and Vampire Knight have them.
Both have incestuous themes; forbidden love between a younger sister and older brother.
Both deal with supernatural beings ( Vampires and Oni ). Also, all the Oni look very much like Zero and the main characters have a relationship

The plot isn't very similar but the drawings are very alike and the relationship, when the main characters become closer, reminds of the one which Yuuki and Kaname has. Even though they aren't close from the beginning, when time passes by, the guy protects the girl.
Vampire Knight and Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu have two completely different story lines, and Vampire Knight isn't even an OVA. However, as soon as I saw Tsubaki, she reminded completely of Vampire Knight.
Sure, Vampire Knight is all dark and vampire-bloody but the two protagonists of these anime look like twins.
Seriously.
There both hidden love between characters but there is no third person for a love triangle but strawberry panic made me think of yuki and komena sorry bad spelling
The main characters both lost their past memory and are trying to recover them with bits of hints to help remember.
Vampire Knight has music remake from Matantei Loki Ragnarok and emphasizes the serious side.
1st episode has similar atmosphere.
They also have a relationship that borders between family or lovers.
There's not much to compare besides the music and kinda dragging atmosphere, I know they seem worlds away(in essence, complimentary opposites) but are similar by a fine line and if you've seen one you should check out the other(at least there's the music but Matantei Loki Ragnarok has a more distinguished score).
So many things about Vampire Knight feel like they've just been ripped straight from Nightwalker.
Both have Vampires.
both have romance

Both are very dark series. They are about supernatural people who can kill people (diclonius and vampires). Still though, Vampire Knight is more romance like. Elfen Lief is more about killing people. Both series have flashbacks to the past. Plus, they contain a LOT of drama. They are both very enjoyable!

Both have lots of good looking bishies :P The plots are very different, but you should find yourself getting sucked in the story and enjoying both, although KHR is a lot longer than VK.
the main girl is in love with two guys and those two guys love her. and some drama
The main female character can't decide between two potiental love intrests. Just like Inuyasha. It has non-human characters too but, instead of demons Vampire Knight has Vampires. I don't know how but I get a similar feeling from watching Inuyasha as I do Vampire knight. Also everyone I know who like either Inuyasha or Vampire knight likes the other.
Both series have many bishounens (so in a sense they're both reverse harem).
Vampire Knight is darker and Hanasakeru Seishounen is... lighter I guess?
I recommend this, not because of the storyline itself, but because of the main characters. There's mystique around them and they both have a mission.

It's hard to explain without spoiling, but Jigoku Shoujo is never a bad choice, so just watch it anyways ^__^
while the stories are very different the feel of them reminds me also both shows deal with the light and dark side of any situation I think if you like one you will most likely like the other
Both are love stories with a sad atmosphere. Unfaithful love. Probably sad ending too. The protagonist cannot be together due to some circumstances.
Both have romance,school and blood. enough said xD

In Vk there´s vampires while in Wolf´s rain there´s werewolves. Seiyuu Mamoru Miyano is in both animes in a main role. Both share a dark interesting plot.
These two great stories share many similarities - supernatural aspect, some comedy, romance, dark atmosphere, and two great stories. Watch them!

These two great stories both offer supernatural, love-triangles and drama. VK is lighter, but has a somewhat similar mood to Ayashi...

VK is darker than Shana, but both series have supernatural, action and romance and school-life aspects that will keep you hooked until you get to the last episode!

Ok before you call me crazy....trust me for some reason a LOT of people who like one of these like the other. They are not very similar in plot, except I guess with the love triangles you could make
Amu=Yuuki
Tadase=Kaname
Ikuto=Zero
Except Vampire Knight's tones are a lot darker than Shugo Chara's.
Princess tutu is the lighter version of vampire knight. There is some romance and action and some comedy....

Ahiru-Yuuki
Mute-Kaname
Fakir-Zero
It has a love triangle, but its two girls and one guy, the guy, Kyoshiro reminded me of Kaname in a way, and he is also struggling with his feelings becuasse he has to destroy the girl he loves, its very good, if you liked Vampire knight im pretty sure you'll like Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora
The two main characters of STY are similar to Yuki and Zero of Vampire Knight. The dark atmosphere is the same, and while one show is about vampires, the other is about ghosts.
Altought the storise are not qute the same the characters and the whole idea is simmilar.Also the main characters are pretty much the same.

It has both dark stories. not to mention that there's a boy who want to protect a girl no matter what.. they are both marvelous!
Both anime are about vampires. Some vampires wish to do harm and have some sort of evil plan and, of course, the main characters try to stop them. Hellsing Ultimate definitely has more action than Vampire Knight. Besides that does it take a while for the action to start in Vampire Knight. Vampire Knight also involves romance and therefore Vampire Knight is more a shoujo while Hellsing Ultimate is more a shounen.
The main chracters are girls , both of them are in love between two guys and they have a power that they dont aware of it .
Both are romantic,love complex,cute.Nana and Yuuki are very sensitive girls and they don't know who to choose from the 2 guys that like them.
both about vampires and hunters.
