Both series are basically 4th wall anime in which the characters go spend a segment going about their daily lives and commenting on the local area they are at, as well as a segment in which they spend time at a table basically having comedy skits to bounce of each other.

Both are of the slice of life genre, but both share a dark feeling that other slice of life do not have. The anime focuses on the story of how each main character views their world, both the good and no-so good sides of it.

Kimi ni Todoke
|
As much as the characters are very different, they share the common theme of being really clueless in romance. Girl likes boy, meets rival(s) for boy, troubles of teenage life, and the jokes that come with them. LoveCom is more comedy driven than KnT, but KnT made me cry more than LoveCom ever did. Either way, both are highly recommended anime.

Seto no Hanayome

Can't quite put my finger on it, but these 2 anime gave the same feel. It is possible Nagasumi gives me the same impression that Kenichi gives. At the same time, San's father and Sakaki of Kenichi gives the same violent vibe (down to the scars on their faces). Humor is often targeted at the unease of either main characters. Personally I think both are overrated anime too.

Katekyou Hitman Reborn!
|
The main characters, Tsuna and Kenichi, started out as losers before meeting up with their eventual masters, Reborn and the Ryozanpaku dojo respectively. Both consist of fairly comical aspects of the daily lives and training methods of both characters, as well as a action side other storyline. Very often, both cahracters will also try to impress their love targets, Kyoko and Miu, often with the help of their masters. Eventually, both mains also start getting their own followers in the form of the Vongola and Shinpaku, though it should be noted that neither are very fond of their roles as the leaders of their units. IMO, KHR is much better though, in terms of likable characters and storyline.

Hakushaku to Yousei

Other than the fact that 3 of the leads are voiced by the magnificent Mizuki Nana, the stories for both are short and changes in arc occur every few episodes. Both are rather dramatic in nature, with Hakushaku to Yousei being more fantasy type, and Allison and Lillia more adventrue type.

Similarities are overwhelming. Crude comedy, a bald leader of the group who used to be in the civil service, a hot girl with a bad attitude, a technical genius, and a ship hideaway. Also similar are the violent scenes, and guns, guns, guns.

Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka

I think the similarities are overwhelming. Both mains are named Junichi, both have an "incestual" interest of the main with a sister that is not of blood relation, and both consist of a wide array of cast appealing to guys, from the "imouto" feel of Da Capo's Sakura, to the rich, snobby tsundere of Akane's Yuuhi. Take your picks. Though, personally, the storyline of Da Capo is far more appeal, as too are the girls.

Sekirei

Sekirei has plenty of similarities, from what I see, like Rozen Maiden (Alice game and Sekirei Plan) and Claymore ("numbered girls", with higher numbers bring of higher strength), but none moreso than Negima. One main character, a harem of beautiful girls, with plenty of ecchi-ness, contracts with the main via kisses. Its a matter of taste which one a person prefers. Negima is has more lolis, and Sekirei has more boobs.

School Days
|
Somehow, the two just seem so similiar. Both are based of the H-game of the same name. The leading guy is an absolute moron (more so in School Days with Makoto, but KimiNozo's Takayuki ain't far off). A shy girl likes the lead, so the outgoing friend of the shy girl tries to hook them up by befriending the main, only for the friend to fall in love with the lead too. There are harem-y aspects to either anime, with plenty of scenes either leading to sex, or from sex. However, School Days is far more extreme.

First, both are absolutely different from their manga counterparts. Second, both involve an elite group of students, be they the best looking ones (Ouran), or the top students (Special A). Third, both are drop dead hilarious. Finally, both involve the leading member of the group (Kei and Suou) liking an extremely dense female member of the group (Hikari and Haruhi).

Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World

I see so many similarities, I don't know where to begin. Both Ginko and Kino are force to give up there past lives due to something happening in their early childhood, and thus travel around the world. While Kino learns about the cultures of different places in her travels, Ginko's journey is more of one to help others affected by the mushi. Either way, both have episodal storylines. Though frankly I found myself enjoying Kino's journey more, there's no way one wouldn't enjoy both in the same way.

Although Ghost Hound is solely Supernatural based, and Real Drive is SciFi, both involve having a split self in another form, with Ghost Hound involving spirits, and Real Drive having ones consciousness inside a system known as the Metal. While I admit to not liking either, I disliked both for the same reason, so I assume the reverse would hold true too.
