An alien guide appears and tells a small group of humans that the fate of the world lies on them. A series of duels between them and foreign entities will take place, and loss will result in the destruction of the world. But this is a group of flawed humans, and they are neither united in their cause nor equal in their abilities. How they deal with the continuing battles while losing allies and finding out more about the nature of the fights is the focus of the story.
Samidare is more interesting to watch, as everyone participates in the battles, but they are similar in the degree to which they cover the psychological battles they all must face. The characters in Samidare are a bit more off the deep end though.
Both feature a group of people that end up being forced into a must-fight scenario in which, as a team, they must defeat the enemies that are beyond their comprehension one at a time with breaks before battles. Their loss results in the destruction of our planet. Both contain heavy character development while dealing with the psychological state of the participants.
Both are about a group of people whose life changes in one day. They start to fight against enemy and are the only hope of the world. Both have side stories about the character past and how they are connected to each others. Both also have nice psychological side on them which is made in same type of way. Both handle characters and them emotion in similar way and are somewhat dramatic. Atmosphere is really similar and art style is "light" in both manga. Recommended highly.

The two of them are both battle shonen titles, and yet both have a darker sort of tone to them, and an excellent setting.
An epic "save the world" theme. In Hoshi no Samidare, the "Biscuit Hammer" will eventually crack the Earth in two, while in Sensei no Bulge the planet is plunged into an endless war. Both protagonists are forced to fight in order to protect and save the planet. With the help of a mentor, they grow stronger through training and each battle. They are both motivated by the same goal: to protect their loved ones.

They both have a similar feeling. Also, in both the girl is actually far more powerful than the male and that female has a twisted way of seeing the world.
Both have:
12 characters with unique powers.
Relationship between two of those characters.
Girl lead who sees the world in different and "bad" way.
Hoshi no Samidare is story about destroying the world and Mirai Nikki competition about who will be new ruler of the world.
Very much similarities, recommend highly.

The feel of it seems to match. Special Powers - Big Bad Guy.
Difference is Sami is more mature while Ueki is more childish.
Both are great! (^_^)/

Both involve the characters participating in rounds after rounds of combat against mysterious enemies that get bigger and stronger as the series proceed. In addition, readers can feel the impact in the deaths of the characters of both the series.

Both take a different approach to the usual supernatural battle genre. Suashi no Meteorite is still in its early stages but it already has a feel that reminded me a bit of Hoshi no Samidare. They both have a lot of comedy to start off, while slowly thickening the plot with a somewhat grim plot point. Also in a way both pairs of main characters have a codependent relationship that strengthens their bond fast.

Who though dead would fun?, In Alive and Hoshi no Samidare, there are people chosen to change the world, either save it or destroy it. (And there is a Romantic subplot)

They both are "genre deconstruction", mahou-shoujo or heroic shounen. Well, just read it, similarities everywhere, for example, deaths of first friends in magical world.

Same author, similar cast, similar plot. Heartwarming, sad and fun at the same time.

Both stories revolve around normal people drawn into a magical conflict where they fight alongside their partners (demons in Gash Bell and animal spirits in Wakusei no Samidare) to defeat their opponents (other demons in Gash Bell and the Mage's golems in Wakusei no Samidare). Both are action-packed and full of humor. If you enjoyed either series, you will certainly enjoy the other as well.

It's similar cause there's a same feeling to it the character's way of thinking are the same too.
And the plot with esper and a threat that come from space is really similar.
Well it's surly cause it's from the same autor.

If you take Watanuki and give him a sense of dark humor then give him a superpower accompanied by animals and other people, then you have Hoshi no Samadare. However, do not expect a complex plot or intriguing events since HnS is nothing more than a predictable manga series that flops after two fantastic, funny volumes.

The protagonist is suddenly thrust from his normal life into some kind of outrageous fight. He has to overcome tough mental hardships from his past, and in order to escape reality, he joins the "fight" and tries to be of use to the girl fighter he falls in love with. Both have some pretty funny moments and are both great reads.

Both of these are coming of age stories that focus very heavily on what kind of person the main character wants to grow up to be. Both start off with a pathetic, introverted protagonist who puts up barriers against new people. Eventually they begin to realize that they are growing up, and the process is not only enjoyable, but extremely liberating. Both series start of antagonizing slow but they both turn into very solid stories.

Both have to do with 'Heroes' saving the Earth.
