They both share the same element, atmosphere, and other similiarity.
Both are about a school where young girls are sent where they are trained to be weapons. They all belong to different nations and will eventually be sent back to their homelands to serve as weapons for the royalty.
both anime are similar in some ways you gota watch it to know ^^

alot of similar characters!
Both main girls are cold with a sad past, but they are they are being kind toward the main guy.

Both animes have a fighting girl vs. girl background

But in Kampfer just generally more hilarious and in Mai Otome more serious, and in Mai Otome you need a "master" who can activate your materialize suit.
Arika and Nina have the same type of relationship with Kagura and Yomi respectively. First friends, then enemies. Both animes have the same amount of bad assery, comedy, and wonderful art. The fighting scenes are both commendable and gets you pumped up!
watching Aria reminds of Mai-Otome same for reaching dreams that you really want, having friends that always at your side and the teacher/group/company are similar both are fun to watch and both have same ending :) if you watched both you will know (:
----> watch all the series to see ^^
Since I saw Mai-HiME had already been added as a recommendation I thought I should add this one too, considering it's the closest thing to a sequel Mai-HiME has. In fact I would say that that Mai-Otome bears a closer resemblance to Toaru Kagaku no Railgun then Mai-HiME. Either way both are a good idea to watch if you enjoyed Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.
Powers
Art looks alike
Some of the same characters
Saving the world kind of story
Girls with unique costumes and weapons. They fight to fulfill their own dreams.
Both are about girls who fly with special equipment. Both have them attacking monsters. There is less fanservice in Mai Otome but it's definitely still there.
The main characters are what call out to me. Ahiru and Akira are one of a kind. They are both looking for their past in a setting where most anything can happen and they want to protect whole heartedly the things they love. Both of them are in schools to become talented performers. Both the school's objectives are to make the students strong and beautiful -- of course in a ballet school like princess tutu the purpose is to be a great dancer and in mai otome it is to become a warrior. Also they have magic necklaces that help them transform into superheros to defeat enemies. They are both searching for their mothers and both have jewelry as their only connection to them. They both put on performances *lol*. They both have this amazing carefree attitude from living in the country and then being dumped into the city. They both were born of high status an didn't know it. Watch it and you'll see! There are even more similarities.

Ahiru and akria also look alike
hair and everything...
lol
haha
Judging from the first episode, Sekirei is similar to Mai-Otome in that there are the girls (otome) who gets a master when they become miesters, just like when they "get their wings" in sekirei.
Girls fighting of the forces of evil while still at school. Though not in massive mecha.

Honestly the main characters are so alike to me it screams Nadja to me. They are both searching for their mothers and both have jewelry as their only connection to them. They both put on performances *lol*. They both have this amazing carefree attitude from living in the country and then being dumped into the city. They both were born of high status an didn't know it. Watch it and you'll see! There are even more similarities.
Maidens with uniforms. Both main characters find their dream during the time when they were in life-danger. Surrounded by close friends. they try to achieve their goal of becoming a 'Meister'. Both animes take place in an allternate universe somewhere in the future, where the things we know 'today' are forgotten relics of the past.
Their both have super powerfull girls that fight for their dreams.
They both have a lot of romance and good friends.
And their hot!!!
The yuri-licious possibilities* of the master/servant relationship Dragons have to their (usually) same-sex Masters may make Dragonaut ~ The Resonance appealing to Mai-Otome fans who enjoy slashing Meisters and the person they've contracted with. (Or Meisters and Meisters, for that matter.) Compelling cast and story; lots of fanservice, but more subtle and less distracting than, say, Godannar.

* For the same reason, may also appeal to yaoi fans, with the bonus that character designer Makoto Uno mostly succeeds in making the male characters as sexy as their female counterparts. There's something for everyone here. :D
Girls in unique costumes and weapons. They dream big to become the best otome.
