P5 and CG deal with the theme of the rebellion in a supernatural high school setting with the MCs transforming their lives from students who suffer boredom to a rebellious leader set out to reform society for the greater good.
Both deal with the morality and justification of the individuals actions as the stories progresses within the white, black, and gray area to compel the story.
Not to mention that Jun Fukuyama voices both Lelouch and Ren making them have whats in common and their looks making both shows parallel to each other.
For those who want to see a badass anime character being badass.
They both have a student that suddently gains a mysterius powerful ability capable of changing the world. The Protagonists are VERY similar and also share the same japanese dubber (who is the perfect one in my opinion). The only problem is that "Persona 5 the Animation" is an anime adaptation of the original game "Persona 5" and because of that some parts are cut down from the game and you dont get to taste the full persona 5 experience. I recommend to play the original game but if u dont have the time or the requirements the anime is ok too. read more
Both protagonist have the desire to rebel against the system, the INTJ personality, having a superhero-like other form, they're the leaders of a group in Japan that wanting to take back what they have lost, and they want to change the world.
Both anime are from CloverWorks and the MC from both anime are also very similar. Ren and Ai are doing this "rehabilitation" things to treat themselves. They also teamed up with their friends to fight "monster" in another world that was based on human's emotion and psychology.
Both feature protagonists who visit an alternative universe which focuses on the psychological state and emotions of another person, in wonder egg this seems to be focused on more younger people whereas in persona 5 it is focused on more corrupt people in hopes to changing their hearts. Both have deeper meanings to how the emotion of one person can influence the people around them.
The MCs of their respective stories are individuals who moved into their new places that will turn into a battlefield dealing with supernatural powers that will involve the lives of the unjust and the innocent and that fate is not something to toy with but can possibly be changed. Darker moments catch up to the characters fast who are haunted by their pasts but must learn to deal with it and change their personalities to overcome it with strong companions.
both are about a group of high school students that fight against evildoers by summoning their Persona/Stand that all have their own unique special powers.
While Persona 5 is more similar to Vento Aureo, it has a lot of similarities with the previous Jojo chapter, too.
The premise is identical: a group of students (with the help of some outsiders) fighting crime "indirectly", that is summoning their personal spirits to brawl against other fighting spirits, all of them with lots of powers and rad designs.
Pretty identical to Persona 4 mainly because protagonists meets other characters and they enter this other world that has evil in it leading them to defeat them and causing changes in the real world.
Of course both are adaptation of two persona game, Persona 4 and Persona 5. Persona 5 won best RPG in the game award 2017. In you want to see fantasy but also with real life story, This series will provide that. They have normal daily activities in the high school but also have fantasy activities. Combination of real life story and fantasy story was the strenght of persona series
Both series focus on the importance of bonds and defeating the evil in peoples' psyche. A good portion of both series take place in an alternate world. Sarazanmai is a bit on the wackier side, but many of the core messages and themes of these series are the same.
(alright for the record if i compare the Persona 5 animation i also at the same time mean to compare the game but video games ain't in the myanimelist so this will have to do) Persona 5 and Naruto have little similarity in albeit certain details...the Joker and Naruto each start out being ostracized and gossiped against...Joker with a false criminal record /Naruto with the 9 tails...both of them set out to make a difference and strive to become heroes...both of them make a point to reform their enemies ...also Joker starts out with a squad similar to the squad Naruto starts out with the comrades...Ryuji like Sasuke is an angry guy who is the protagonist's best friend..Ann like Sakura is the girly preppy of the team the first female team member in the group Ann is nice to Joker but Sakura is mean to Naruto but never the less in a team of 3 (Team 7 and the Joker, Ryuji, Ann trio) they bear some similarity ..also Joker like Sasuke is dark haired and is brooding and cool headed while Ryuji like Naruto is blonde and rowdy and brash and kind of a knuckle head  read more
Both anime involves group of people that try to serve the justice with their own way and targetting the corrupt leader. Both group are also viewed as the "bad guy". They also have enemies which are the detective and police that try to chase and catch them.

Not to mention both have a talking cat and amnesiac MC who is trying to uncover the past that serves the key to prove their innocence while a greater evil is lurking trying to ruin other's lives for their selfish gain.
Ren and Tatsuya are students who receive scorn due to their infamous reputation but at the same time hides their true identity that others are unaware of and are OP with powers that surpass their respective peers and enemies' expectations. Contrary, P5 is supernatural as opposed to Mahouka's Sci Fi/Magic making both shows distinguishable if slightly similar in some aspects.
(alright for the record if i compare the Persona 5 animation i also at the same time mean to compare the game but video games ain't in the myanimelist so this will have to do) both Gantz and Persona 5 have the concept of a troubled teen along with some random acquaintances get teleported in some astral projection type method Gantz through death and after that, the Gantz ball's decision...Persona 5 through cell phone app and they also meet in a designated spot before taking on missions...in the world they get teleported to they have to battle alot of weird beings Gantz aliens and alien monsters...Persona 5 persona shadows. both Gantz and persona 5 are psychological..gantz the situations and scenarios the evil of mankind the twisted things that people do the twisted situations that befall people twisted deaths making up the disturbing context of psychological and Persona 5 getting inside people's heads and visiting mental illustrations of the person and how they view people making up the more lighthearted aspect of psychological..... the difference between p5 and Gantz is Persona 5 is more pleasant and cleaner and fun while Gantz is more explicit and violent and trashy. read more

Both share a modern day Japan setting with Shibuya being one of the settings as well as having a teenaged cast facing against a dangerous life or death situation.
(for the record if i compare the persona 5 anime i really mean to compare the main canon source but that's a video game and my anime list dont include video games in their arsenal so this will have to do) with that said.. how mirai nikki compares to the persona 5 story is that the same plot device is used..both the mirai nikki crew and the persona 5 crew use cell phones as part of each of their respective plot detail....the miria nikki cast use theirs for death battles and stalking and the phantom thieves use theirs to teleport ...both mirai nikki and persona 5 have morally grey characters.. anti heros and chaotically good heroes...a girl with some psychological issues of sorts though one is more or less the mascot of her respective show appearing early while the other is more under the radar and appears late in her respective franchise  read more

The Protagonists in both shows are stoic individuals who rarely speak and must deal with the oppression in the society that they live in but at the same time their true faces show that they change it through immoral acts that they must justify with their powerful companions who share that common goal.
The shows heavily revolves around a resistance group that puts great effort and dedication to their cause into freeing society from an oppressive grip.

The Seiyuu cast in both shows are superb and their music is composed by the titans of their industries making it another reason to watch.
Both are animated series based off a game. Similar to the cast in Persona, the characters in Grimms Notes are able to take on a persona that aids them in battle. The difference being the cast in Grimms Notes takes on the appearance and utilizes the abilities of fairy tale heroes and heroines to aid them iin battle; while the cast in Persona, have an entity that fights alongside them in battle. The main characters in both series are "wild cards" in that they can take on multiple and any persona while their friends are limited to one or a select few entities.
