Both in "Chrome Shelled Regios" and in "Densetsu no yuusha no densetsu", the hero is a boy, who, in the beginning, is trying to hide his past and exceptional abilities (tenken-user, alpha stigma) playing the dumb, pretending to be unintrested, slow and unskilled. Other similarities seem to be the fantastic setting, the presence of the fantastic itself (the mysterious regious and their spirits and monsters the student-soldiers are fighting against, magic), organizations of selected fighters (tenken-users, orphanage training soldier-magicians) and smaller groups of friends of the hero who are operating together, and finally (there might be more, but I will just leave it at that  read more

Both have light novel source materials and focus on a cool MC hiding his untold back story and past experience from the rest of the militaristic high school and slowly showing it off as he gets into more fights surrounding a mixture of hand to hand combat, specialized weapons, and magic / kai. Also both have an interesting support cast to make up for the withdrawn personality of the MC.

Both starts with a similar futuristic-fantasy setting with a military academy training students with special combat abilities.

Ok so this is kind of a stretch because the settings in SAO and CSR are totally different: one being inside a MMORPG and the other a post apocalyptic world with moving cities. However they are very similar in the sense that the main characters between the two are both total badasses. Kirito being a solo player on the front lines who doesnt need any help and Layfon being one of the 7 heavenly blades or whatever in disguise at an ordinary school/city. So basically if you enjoy watching the main male lead go ham and wreck the opponents then both of these shows are  read more

watching Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon is like watching chrome shelled regios, why? they have the same action, student battle, many character or unexpected character that you dont know what they are allies or foe.

Both shows are in a distant future when land is ruined and humanity it's now trapped, living in mobile cities, students try to fight against monster outside of city.

Reasons why they are similar: -Both happen in a post-apocalyptic world -Both the people live in walled city, because the outside is dangerous -Both have monsters that humans need to fight against -Both divide the characters in platoons to fight against the enemy

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, where humanity is under attack by these unidentified monsters that are attacking humans. The characters in here are mostly shielded in an area by these advance technology where the monsters won't get through. There are supernatural powers where they can eradicate these monsters when fighting them. Expect some dark moments, action, and fears around them.

They all have different powers that they use to battle the enemy. And just like Allen belongs to the Exorcists, Lafon belongs to the 17th platoon.

The Settings For CSR and ToD are very different but stories focusing a bit on the dynamics of group combat(and to an extent the fight scences themselves), weird monsters, and of course the fanservice are all strikingly similar. If you enjoyed either, give the other a few episodes and see if it doesn't have a similar feel.

Both have a main character that is extremely powerful and has seen many fights who joins a group of less experienced people. The main character also seems reluctant to display their powers because of the past and they are trying to change from fighting into existing more peacefully with others.

Both are post-apocaliptic worlds with big bugs to fight ^^. The idea its diferent in both but the worlds are similar

Blue Gender and Chrome Shelled Regios are set in an apocalyptic event in which the planet has been dominated and the humans are set as food. Also the main characters in both anime refuse to fight in the beginning but later find a resolve to fight for what they believe is worth protecting. Only difference is that Blue Gender has Mechs and tends to be more serious While Chrome Shelled Regios uses Kei enhanced weapons and has some light comedy to balance out the seriousness but both are still amazingly awesome shows

Ergo and Chrome are both post-apocalyptic environments in which civilization sustains within domes, away from the toxic exterior environments. Each story focuses on monsters, or in the case of Ergo, Proxies. Aside from that, mood and plot highly differ between the dark (goth), mysterious, and mechanized-society of Ergo with the light, comedic atmosphere of Chrome.

There is a main guy who is a total badass in both who doesnt need to depend on anyone else because theyre CRAZY strong and theres romance in both of them

Both CSR and Blacksmith have male leads [ Layfon Alseif in CSR, Luke Ainsworth in Blacksmith ] that are almost otherworldy in their combat skill. Both of them are at their best with Katana, which is a weapon in both series that is held on another level to others when used properly. Overall the series are different in alot of ways, but the simple relation in characters makes the viewer feel some nostalgia when watching one and then the other.

Both are fighting large bug/ monsters (but they are kind of bugs anyways) .Both include ecchi. They both have a girl who is short, have grey long hair, and is motionless. I don't know if they are the same, but then both mc are strong. In this case, in mushibugyo, the mc has a hidden self meanwhile CSR the mc is already strong.. but then their potential is kind of hidden.

Both main leads were from orphanages, they were the older-brother figures in their respective orphanages. Both are set in a post-apocalypse world, both feature floating cities and its inhabitants fighting against monsters left on the uninhabitable surface. Both feature main female leads [Nina Antalk in Chrome and Chtholly in Sukasuka] prominent in the first half or so, but at the end overtaken by another female lead [Felli in Chrome and Nephiren in Sukasuka]

A desolate, monster-ravaged setting where humanity is forced into living in isolated pockets of civilisation in the form of bubble-like cities is something both of these series have in common. Despite this visibly apocalyptic scenario, neither series is exceedingly hopeless in presentation, with Synduality and Chrome-Shelled Regios each balancing out their eventful plots with intermittent slice-of-life episodes and humour.

i think this two anime similar with several factor 1. moving city two of this anime live in moving city but in CSR there are magic while deca- dence doesn't have it 2. mysterious character in CSR the mc is the mysterious one while in deca-dence the kaburagi is the mysterious one

"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

NGE and Chrome both have their theme as fighting monsters in a futuristic setting. NGE sets in post modern-post apocalyptic japan and Chrome also sets in a post modern-post apocalyptic but in moving cities. NGE focuses mecha vs. angels while Chrome focuses human with kei (chi-internal superhuman powers) vs. filth monsters. Angel and filth monsters, tell u the truth look a lot alike. The main character in both anime have the hidden potential of being great as well.

Both of the main characters in it, Kai and Layfon, are both very much alike and are forced to become *spoilers for both of them, in a way*; they both have special powers, always seeming to be wanted by people for their power, have lots of action filled with supernatural stuff, ect... To put it blankly, they're like exact copies of eachother.

The feeling that both of these series are quite similar. In fact, they both have a setting in an apocalyptic future. The main protagonist in both series are also similar in that they are strong, independent, and proud of who they are. The series focuses on a group of characters that also involves action, drama, and some comedy. However, later on, secrets are revealed and the story gets deeper. Both series also introduces science fiction themes.

Although both series sets the mood of different atmospheres, Chrome Shelled Regios and Suisei no Gargantia takes place in a futuristic world that has technology beyond ours.
