Both have great stories, are very emotionally charged, and have similar feels. Mahou is much darker in the bulk of the episodes, while Angel Beats has more comic relief, but both are powerful anime that I highly recommend.
both have an ideal of universal happenings, in some sort of another, both contain action that is relevant and meaningful, but they also leave you with an eerie feeling towards the end, and somewhat through both of them

What starts off light, gradually gets darker and sadder. Although Madoka is a bit more graphic.

Both involve a group of characters fighting against some kind of force until they reach a bittersweet end to the story.
Madoka is about girls who face death, and Angel Beats is about kids who want to stay dead together.

Both have a pretty cheerful and bright start but as time goes by things do start to get darker and a focus on friendship and some spunky female leads too.

Termination. Although Madoka Magica and Angel Beats don't share many similarities, it is similar to its characters Angel and Homura.
Both Angel and Homura both try their hardest to stop a force from committing their actions. AB has Angel stop the SSS from causing havoc, PMMM has Homura stop Kyuubey from letting Madoka become a magical girl.
AB is a joyous comedic anime with supernatural elements, with PMMM being a great dark, despairful, psychological magic anime.

They are both one season anime's and both have heart breaking stories. They are both fantasy-esque anime that will get you thinking about it for days afterwards. I thoroughly enjoyed them both. Highly recommended

There's one thing and one thing only, "Everything is not what it seems."
Though Angel Beats does already appear as not innocent (others may think different, but to me it didn't look innocent), It has a similar way to twist their stories. Angel Beats does not include much magic itself but the world itself is just magical. Nobody there is still alive, which leaves surprising ways for them to twist the storyline. Have fun watching and surfing anime/manga to anyone reading this.
