Both have Red-haired, tsundere characters who are the lead protagonists, accompanied by a brown-haired powerless male protagonist. Both of them are voiced by the same Voice Actors. Zero no Tsukaima goes more fantastical, as it is a totally different world set in the medieval ages. ZnT features more of a school environment and a larger cast of side characters. It's also more detailed in expanding its magical universe so you really get a feel of the premise. In sunmmary, Zero no Tsukaima has more of everything Shakugan no Shana has: Romance, School-life, Ecchi, Magic Rules and Universe, Better Soundtrack, More Side Characters.

These two anime are completely different in plot but in characters you can definitely see a similarity... The main characters Ryuji and Taiga have a very interesting relationship.. one of a master and her dog (like Louise and Saito)... In both anime the characters share a close relationship in which the chibi fearsome female dominates the male...very interesting to watch.. (both females have the same voice actor as well..)

These two share such a similarity! A magic school where a loathed and unpopular female student (who is also a fierce, proud tsundere) stumbles upon a guy, who she makes a magical contract with. It's a story loaded with both ecchi and actual romance, as the two go forth seeking power.

The guy in both Anime is accused of being a pervert when he really isn't one or isn't intentionally trying to perv. As for the main female character, she easily becomes jealous, she has a temper and has issues of some kind.

I am not recomending "Dog Days" to those who like "Zero no Tsukaima", but recomending "Zero no Tsukaima" to those who like "Dog Days". Yes, there have been a lot of comparisons to the two, because they happen to have male main characters summoned to another world, but beyond that, they are two very different series. "Zero no Tsukaima" is better plot wise and uses humor much better, not to mention has really good characters.

Main characters are males, powerful and sometimes a bit of a doormat (gullible, easily manipulated by women etc). Both possess some sort of power and both are the next successors of a role (demon king, Gandalfr). Tons of fan service and whatnot as well as embarrassing moments mostly relating to the girls in the story. Side characters have big boobs.

Both are about a mage summoning a familiar who happens to be a humanoid character. In Familiar of Zero, the mage girl is a bad student who summons the MC, a boy, from Japan to their world, making this an Isekai. In Vermeil in gold, the MC, an innocent boy with very potent mana summons a hot demon girl. Both shows are ecchi and the relationships between the summoner and the familiar can lead up to a lot of awkward moments and gain the attention of other girls and students of the respective magical academies.

The lead males are very similar. They are shameless perverts, very honest, and can be very manly when the situation calls for it. The lead females are also similar with respect to their insecurities.

I'm incredibly surprised that no one has compared Zero no Tsukaima to Slayers yet. Lina and Louise are both "flat-chested" magicians having to compete with their F-cup rivals (Naga/Zerbst). Both series feature a sword weilding male character that the main character ends up falling for and the humor is similar. All in all, I thought Zero no Tsukaima was fun to watch and if you liked it I know you'll love Slayers.

This kinda reminds me a little of zero no tsukaima. Because of the draw style and somethings that are the same: a magical school, a girls who doesn't like the boy that mutch (at the start). So it's worth watching if you like one of these to watch the other one

Fantasy, magic, adventure, and harem, both these series contain those shared common themes. Although the protagonists are different in terms of personalities, they both share the want to protect what they hold dear.

Both center around a romantic pairing made obvious at the beginning and beset by challenges in the form of other interested women, and both go to greater-than-average lengths, for the one-guy-multiple-girls approach, to flesh out their casts. Both feature a tsundere female lead who seems to enjoy nothing more than abusing the male lead. Love Hina has less magic, but its various side plots are often no less fantastical than if it did have magic.

As I was watching Zero no Tsukaima, I couldn't stop thinking about how related it was with Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. The first thing I noticed was the relation between Yuki and Tabitha. Those two could be twin sisters. No kidding. But then I started noticing some other similarities. In both series, there is a bossy girl that drags a guy into her crazy world. And that treats him like a slave. I still think that if Louise and Haruhi ever met, they would probably be very good friends. Kyon and Saito are both completely normal (big-boobs-lovers), japanese guys. In both of the series, there are weird adventures  read more

The main thing in common between those two anime is the fact that the main character goes to a fantasy world where he gains an incredible power. Re:Zero is more psychological and Zero no Tsukaima is more of a harem, romance but both of them have good action. You may find it annoying that those main characters don't try to go back to their main world, but in the end both series are a lot of fun.

On the surface, there might not seem like any similarities, yet the main male protagonist of Kuro no Shoukanshi is similar to the female protagonist of Zero no Tsukaima in that they don't let anything get in their way. Both series also have their own ways of putting the overpowered character on it's head, with one preferring to go unnoticed and remain free while the other - the overpowered one isn't the person who fell into the world, but instead his companion.

Both of these series somehow give off the same feeling, but Pandora Hearts is dark while Zero No Tsukaima has more light-hearted moments.

The male leads are expected to serve the female leads but are often unsatisfactory though they are proven to have hidden capabilities later on. The female leads are tsundere characters, while the male leads both develop attachments and become loyal to the females. Both the shows are of the fantasy genre. And the plots basically have the same "band-together-to-defeat-the-forces-of-evil" type of theme, but aren't really very similar. They both also have fanservice.

Here's the story: "One boy suddenly is dragged into a whole different world and after overcoming great hardships saves that same world" And it's like this not only in Zero no Tsukaima but also in Amatsuki. The lead male character is constantly hesitating whether he does the right thing or not. The thing that's the most interesting is whether Toki will stay like Saito or will leave if he has the opportunity at the end of the series?

"Chrome Shelled Regios" and "Zero no Tsukaima" have several similar elements. Both have a male lead with several female co-leads. Both are set in a fantastical world combined with a school setting. Both have jokes about violence being dealt to the baka male lead by a romantically frustrated female (although Felli is a far more complex Tsundere than the typical modern version- very interesting character development). Both anime suffer from serious flaws mixed with strengths, and are poor adaptations of light novels that have a superior story. The major difference is that while "Zero no Tsukaima" degrades by sliding  read more

The humor and adventure theme in both of these animes are very similar. The male protagonists are both underdogs who are trying to match up with their magical female counterparts.

Both series revolves around the MC getting dragged into another world with fantasy like setting involving adventure and magic. Zero no Tsukaima contains more of the comedy and romance part while Shining Tears X Wind contains more of the action and emotional drama.

Inu x Boku SS is similar to Zero no Tsukaima because both anime have a lead girl character who is accompanied by a male character which they refer to as their "servant". 
report Recommended by kiirochi
Both are servant-master relationships in a fantastic setting. ZnT has romance, and Princess Resurrection has a dark setting. 
report Recommended by Yquem
While the setting is completely different the dynamic between the two main characters is quite the same (girl hostile, treating the boy as a slave, boy acting kind, caring and protective for the people around them, even though being annoyed by getting treated like that). Also the development of their relationship and the relationships around them shows a lot of similarities (recognizing the true feelings towards each other, making friends together, watching out for each other and so on). The people they make friends with are different and not comparable, though. It feels quite the same when watching these two animes.

Guy who's forced to go to a school in a culture he can't hope to comprehend gets tangled up with a Tsundere, constantly gets into all sorts of misunderstandings and altercations (hilarity ensues, obviously), has to fight one villain after the other, and you just can't help but grin when someone gets punched.

Both main girls have a strong bossy character. Similar drawing too.

Both have magic, male main characters that have a lot of women that fall in love with them, a good bit of comedy mixed in, and make you feel a bit ease while watching it. Neither take them selves to seriously and are just fun to watch. Both have action, comedy, and romance.

Both series have characters who use magic to fight people.

Both are about a main character who was summoned to another world and uses a sword as their weapon, the stories also have magic as the main choice of combat. The also both are ecchi anime with a lot of fanservice.

Both series feature a luckless boy who was minding his own business when he's suddenly transported to another world with no apparent way back. Another similarity is that the main female protagonist doesn't like the main male character in the beginning and tries to hurt him a lot.
