They are both quite alike:
The protagonist is a badass dude who has accidentally encountered the heroine while she was bathing initially leading to a comprising situation, he is also enrolled to attend a school full of females and is the sole male dragon powered being individual within the story. Both series are also harems that have some light comedy intertwined with a focus on action, fantasy, and romance elements.
These two anime are overall incredibly similar as they share a lot of themes in common that create significant resemblance between them.

They both feature female characters who possess magical abilities that are used during battles, and focus on military themes such as weaponry and war. Both series often include busty girl designs and some scenes containing yuri undertones. There’s also a lot of drama and gory violence in both shows. A difference is that Cross Ange is a mecha show while Asuka is more mahou shoujo. If you enjoy or are looking for a dark anime with strong female characters and enormous amounts of action then these could be intriguing fits to watch.

both are very philosophical and dark, deeply written characters and themes of trauma, abuse, war, love and hate, life and death, interpersonal relationships, the human condition. even if you've already watched brotherhood, the original fma is a completely different beast (and a way better one, in my opinion. brotherhood does not tackle the subjects that 2003 does, in fact it barely brushes up against them). there are a lot of little details and care that went into each of these series. the main difference in these series is that evangelion is less about the characters and world and more about the themes and the message anno is trying to convey while seamlessly integrating characters and world into it, and fma is more focused on the characters and world while seamlessly integrating philosophy and themes into it.

both are schizophrenic comedic fever dreams where absurdity and violence run rampant (although the violence is a bit more graphic in BTD). BTD is also more sexualized/fanservice-y. there are times in both shows, that i quite truthfully got them confused one time trying to remember a scene, where there are absurd situations that happen and the main character says to the affect "is anyone else seeing this" but everyone else acts like it isn't happening or that it's completely normal. if you find laughter in absurdity and over-the-top situations, this might just be for you.
both comedies of misunderstandings, MCs who think they are bad even though they are very strong.

"My Deer Friend Nokotan" and "Squid Girl" are both absurd gag comedies involving a human/animal girl coming into society and causing havoc. Some other similarities include:
-a very meme opening which is catchy but also gets annoying
-similar characters, whose primary characterization revolves around a gag
-pretty similar styles of humor, which usually revolves around the main character misunderstanding or being misunderstood by those around them
The main difference is that "Squid Girl" takes place on the beach while "My Deer Friend Nokotan" is more of a school anime with school-related jokes. If you like one you'll probably like the other though.

-They both focus on romantic-comedy with an emphasis on intimate situations and character relationships as well as comedic themes that include playful interactions, awkward misunderstands, and characters feeling overly compromised.
-Both feature a school setting.
-They both incorporate science-fiction elements in the form of the female characters being alien hybrid humans.
-For some reason, both series are considered shounen and have a lighthearted tone.

Similar kinda story structure, where most of it are absurd comedy sketches, but then it actually serves unironically to flesh out the characters and form a path moving forward.
Plus, it's all kickstarted by the arrival of a surreal character that needs to be taken care of by the delinquent protagonist of the story.

If you're hankering for a fantasy adventure that feels like MDZS, Akatsuki no Yona's a fantastic watch. A carefree childhood with a storm brewing that blows over when they're adults, heartfelt moments, unexpected allies, on a long journey - there were so many similar elements.
While MDZS in its Donghua and Danmei versions is a complete story, Akatsuki no Yona's 24 episodes end around chapter 40-41 of the manga.

Kaguya-hime

Films based on the folklore "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" with distinct animation styles, stop-motion in Kaguya-hime and impressionistic in Kaguya-hime no Monogatari. The stop-motion animation for Kaguya-hime was nicely done for its time and of course Kaguya-hime no Monogatari's old-fashioned hand-drawn animation is a visual feast. The stories were close to the original however in Kaguya-hime, only three suitors along with the emperor were shown (Prince Kuramochi with the jeweled branch from a tree, Prince Ishitsukuri with Buddha's stone bowl, and Grand Counselor Otomo with the five-colored jade that shines from the dragon’s neck; Lord Minister of the Right Abe with the robe of fire-rat fur and Middle Counselor Isonokami with the cowrie shell that swallow warms as a treasure and a charm for safe birth were shown along with the other three suitors and the emperor in Kaguya-hime no Monogatari).

Two Good vs. Evil factioned romcoms with two people from opposite sides falling in love with each other despite all other odds, set in modern day Tokyo.
Main difference is that the genders are reversed in both with as to who is on the good side and who is on the evil side. Also that the good side in Koiseka is a whole group whereas in Mahoaku, the good MC normally works solo.

From the very, and I literally mean the very first scene you can see the similarities and the clear inspiration Mekakucity Actors took from Utena, particularly the movie. And is that both make use of surreal architecture, symbolism and avant-garde story telling that the enjoyers of each will likely enjoy the other.

Orange
|
These animes both portray the harshness of what life brings to you. Erased and Orange both bring supernatural events such as time travel complications to try and bring out different events to help prevent the life changing event that the protagonist wants to not face again. These animes both utilize past trauma as a motive to try and produce a different outcome with the help of the time travel mechanic. I definitely recommend both of these animes as they were fun, sad and beautiful to watch.

86
|
These animes are both mechas that are really amazing. What makes the characters special are that they all go through mental struggles that help to make the characters feel more real and human. Also, 86 does use cgi for the mechs but it is the best cgi i have ever seen, if anything I will forever defend the use of cgi for the mechas only because of the high quality of cgi. I do prefer animation over cgi but in this case I prefer the cgi.

They both have time travel elements, however in my opinion Summertime Render does the time travel mechanic better by adding consequences for dying. It is explained in Summertime Render that when he dies, his respawn time goes closer to when he dies each time he dies. They are both really good animes. Steins gate is more mainstream but Summertime Render is definitely an underrated gem.
