The two most important aspect about classroom of the elites are 1.) the character and 2.) the setting/environment. Things like plot are just a by-product of these two interacting and not what you should be looking for if searching for an anime similar to this show.
The characters’ background of being smart and witty as well as mysterious/unknown to others is a very simple yet basic comparison between the two. Chances are, you like this troupe of the underdog protagonist surprising pretentious enemies.
The importance of the setting here is what filters out every other show that has an overpowered protagonist as the premise. The

Watch these if you love cool badass protagonists. If you liked one you'll definitely like the other. Both are adaptations of popular light novels.

As the show progress, we realize that the main protagonist is actually secretly a genius. Both of their personality is almost completely the same: emotionally detached and cunning. Both of their origin story is pretty similar too, with quite a few differences.

i cant stress it enough as to how similar i feel the lead male characters for these two anime are. both are extremely intelligent and have everything going according to plan despite having little to no control over their own lives. they have ulterior motives to what other characters seem to think they have planned and in reality shed sweat and blood for something we all take for granted. both are very well done and left me wanting more seasons.
