Both has historical story, a small group includes skilled worriors with a prince(princess)
-Both contains stories of ancient powerful kingdoms being overthrown and their rulers- usually a king being murdered by a traitor.
- The MC character was portrait as weak, fragile and feeble.
- Each one though one were female and the other male, changed over the course of the journey they had to undertake.
- They both grew into some more. Something that wasnt expected of them.
- A story of adventure, betrayal, defeat and power.
Both main characters are the next heir of their kingdom.
They both go through tragedies involving their family and as a result have to flee their own kingdom. They both run into many setbacks and have come to realize that not everything is as it seems outside of their own sheltered world inside their castles.
They both try to overcome their weaknesses and become stronger to take back what's rightfully theirs: their kingdom and place at the throne.
Story of underdog crown prince/princess.You can summarize both series like that.Only real difference is gender of mc and this cause a focus change.In AS focus is military/diplomacy.ANY focuses recruiting "aid" for her cause and claim.But don't get me wrong.Both mc has a strong point and they are not totally useless leaders carried bt other.
Both anime feature a prince/princess who is trying to get back their country, and that go on a journey to do so. As they leave their cities/castles, they learn more about the world, meet people that are willing to help them, and also get recognition by their great yet unusual leadership.
Prince/Princess is a soft hearted person
They are ignorant in how the world works due to their sheltered life style.
They lose their kingdom
They learn to fight and seek help in order to retake the throne
Both have a king overthrown and subsequently the heir is thrown out and is targeted by the the enemy.
Both the overthrowers claim to be the rightful heir to the throne.
The prince/princess is first protected by a strong general and then goes on to gain more support to make a comeback.
The plot is pretty much the same. The time in which the story is set is probably similar. There are more supernatural elements and romance in Akatsuki no Yona but both shows fall in the same genres: action, adventure and fantasy. Yona is just a shojou version of Arslan Senki.
Kind, young, and also weak royalty goes on a journey with a protector. They grow stronger along the way and make friends that help them. They are also both trying to escape their enemies

Similarity: Sheltered youth who are driven from their homes. They begin their journey to recruit new allies and battle enemies for the power struggle. Settings are consistent with feudal Japan.
Personal Preference: Akatsuki no Yona has better storytelling.
Child prince(ss) is exiled from kingdom and travels in the outskirts of civilization with weapons-master, while collecting a party of more friends in an attempt to go back home and solve whatever problem drove them out of their kingdom in the first place.
- At the start of the series the main protagonist is a weak fighter who gets stronger through the series.
- Both of Yuna/Arslan have their loyal group of fighters who are ready to sacrifice their life protecting her/him.

Protected by the kingdom's strongest knight they go out to gather a party with which to retake the throne. Meanwhile learning about the world first-hand and righting many wrongs along the way. Their main opponent is another one with claim to the throne.
At some point they both deal with pirates in a harbour town too. (Season 2 in Arslan Senki)
-Both protagonists are forced out of their homes/pampered lives due to a coup, and flee with trusted high-ranking military men who are notorious for their strength
-They recruit strong people from different walks of life, including a strategist and those with special abilities or physical prowess

-Despite their appearances and young ages, Yona and Arslan are fierce when provoked but have generous and kind hearts

storywise, these two are very similar. excluding the fact that the titles have the main protagonist's name (lol), yona and arslan are both royalties who were forced out of their own kingdoms and are then trying to take it back.
both of them are soft-hearted and are practically ignorant to the outside world since they were originally a prince/princess.
they are both accompanied at the start with strong generals (hak for yona, and daryun for arslan) and as their adventure goes on, they gather allies or companions to fight alongside them.
lastly, the main protagonist, arslan and yona, are the type of characters who actually grow up

Both main characters have similar personalities; mainly that they are very kind hearted and lenient to others, even those that try to hurt them. Both series take place in a historical setting, Yona having an Asian theme whereas Arlsan having that of the western middle-ages. Very enjoyable, rich and vast settings in both series.
The plot in both series is also extremely similar. Both main characters are part of royal families who rule kingdoms who come up against tragic events which change their lifestyle drastically. If you enjoy this kind of plot, then Yona is definitely something you should watch.

Both of these anime are historical and about a person who, during the anime, makes new friends and tries to get their kingdom back. The main characters are both kind people who don't like hurting others, but are really brave and can fight when needed.
Also, both of them have (a) really good opening(s) and ending(s), at least in my opinion. (since Arslan Senki is still airing right now so there's only one op and ed)
And Arslan (main character in Arslan Senki, obviously) has the same voice actor as Su-won, an important character in Akatsuki no Yona.

Both stories are set in the historical times and is about trying to get back their kingdom. They both include war and betrayal. In Akatsuki no Yona, the leading character is a princess with her bodyguard/knight trying to find the other 'dragons' and getting back her rightful place. Similarly, in Arslan Senki, Arslan is the leading character who is a prince also tries to get back his kingdom with his knight and others. The storyline for both anime are very interesting as we see both leading characters become stronger throughout their adventures in accomplishing their goal.
Similar to Akatsuki no Yona, Arslan Senki follows the story of a prince seeking out others in order to reclaim his stolen kingdom

Both tell the story of young princes who end up losing someone important in a palace / kingdom attack and because of this they travel with a small group of prince / princess colleagues. During their travels they meet new people, and learn more about their own realm.
Both anime are about displaced aristocrats who are trying to achieve something for their respective kingdoms. Notable differences are on the setting and on the handling of the story. Arslan Senki is set on a Middle East-ish landscape and is more focused on showing how the main characters are going to reclaim their kingdom. The series is serious most of the time with more concentration on the politics and on the execution of war strategies. Akatsuki no Yona, on the other hand, takes place on a location similar to China. It is a lighthearted tale that focuses more on the individual stories of

Both anime's have the main character driven from their homes as royalty and follow their stories and adventures of gaining companions to one day return to their home and retake it.
The obvious difference being the main character being of different genders and Akatsuki no Yona having a sort of reverse harem theme.
Both animes have excellent fighter main protagonists who fight for a cause or person. Both animes contain a good amount of action and drama so if you liked Arslan Senki I would strongly recommend this anime for your next watching.

Both protagonists are royalty who got into pretty bad events and changed for the better. They both had a guardian, followers, and they had their goal set. What started to have cowards of a royalty became worthy rulers of the land after going through series of events that changed their mindsets. :)

They've both got an almost 'Game of Thrones' sort of feel. Also, Arslan Senki is made by the same author as Full Metal Alchemist.
-Both have young ignorant weak prince(Arslan)/princess(Yona) who gradually develop and become stronger only because they are kicked out from the palace.
-Both have a historical setting. (Arslan Senki is in Persia/Iran and Akatsuki no Yona is in Ancient Korea)
-Arslan Senki focuses on Arslan becoming king, while Akatsuki no Yona focuses on Yona helping poor people in her kingdom.
Both are great animes to watch if you're a fan of historical animes.
Both shows revolve around a MC who is thrown out of their kingdom and must fight to get it back.
Both main characters are an heir to the throne of a powerful kingdom that is taken away from them.
The main characters both embark on a journey with a very strong character with a spear/staff weapon.

The main characters are both next in like for the throne until a coup happens by an evil cousin, which forces them to flee from their home while being protected by the strongest warrior in the army. Both characters are weak combat-wise and rely on others to do all the dirty job, they go a journey to find strong warriors to help them reclaim the Kingdom.
1. They fight for justice for there country
2. The same betrayal happened
A prince who lost his kingdom and the go on a trip to get it back with the help pf travellers with unique skills that decide to follow him because they consider him "good enough" to be a king.
These are fairly similar shows, I think Akatsuki no Yona has a bit more comedy and some better character moments. Not to say Arslan Senki is bad, it's a great series, but if you liked Arslan, then you'll love Yona, possibly
Let me begin by saynig that Arslan is far better than Yona in every conceivable way. Having said that, here are some similarities:
# Both royals live a privileged life till their fathers (the kings) are overthrown
# The coup happens bc of betrayal by someone they trusted
# Both have loyal servants by their side who are loyal (in the beginning) bc of their allegiance, but remain loyal (later on) bc of how good a rule they think their prince/princess would make
# Both MCs are stupid, weak and idealistic, but that is covered up by the show as a synonym for being a good/kind hearted person

They are extremely similar.
Both are heirs of a great territory that are forced to leave it and embark on an adventure to recover the kingdom and take revenge, and during the trajectory the two protagonists have the best warrior at their side and they join other characters. Even a male duo is present in both.
Both animes follow the stories of a similar-aged prince/princess who find themselves fighting to restore their kingdoms after their fathers are overthrown. They both have a right hand man that is extremely protective and reliable.
