Both definitely have a similar feeling, "Nodame Cantabile" is about classical music, where "Kids on the Slope" is about jazz, but they both have the same goal that you should enjoy the music your playing and give it feeling and not just playing it like it's written on the music sheet.
Both josei romances that center around a musical theme. Even though Nodame Cantabile is about classical music and Sakamichi no Apollon is about jazz, they both give you a very similar feel (minus Nodame Cantabile being absolutely hilarious).

Both give you a look into a genre of music that is no longer mainstream.
Kids on the Slope focuses on Jazz while Nodame Cantabile focuses on classical.

Both are Joseis and are about music.
There are romance and student environment in Japan.
However there are some differences between each other:
Sakamichi no Apollon takes place in a secundary school on the sixties years; the kind of music played by main characters is the Jazz.
Nodame Cantabile TV takes place in a music faculty on the present days; the kind of music played by main characters is the Classical Music.
If you like a good music, like Jazz and Classical, you should watch these animes!!!
If you like a good story, with romance, some comedy, drama of daily life; you may like too!!

Its about music altough Sakamichi Apollon is more real in showing relationships and emotions.
It might seem at first sight that the josei genre be the most striking similarity and although the musical themes are different:
In "Nodame Cantabile" music is speaking in tones of among others Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Peter Schubert, Claude Debussy und Sergei Wassiljewitsch Rachmaninow (transcription: Rachmaninoff). So an musical framework of classical gems is presented.
In contrast does "Sakamichi no Apollon" presents the musical spirit of Jazz in the 60ties with the sound of George Gershwin, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington.
Nevertheless or better that is precisely why the main visible, extremely fastidious driving force in both anime, is an highly elaborated combination of story

Both series involve 2 characters who are completely polar opposites in character, come together through their mutual admiration of music. Both series' also focus more on the characters and their interactions, rather than the actual story

Both have pretty good humor, music, and great character chemistry. Nodame cantabile is more stretched out than Kids on the slope but the latter has better animation and nice character designs and world-building than the former.
