While Danganronpa is about murdering and getting away with it and Juuni Taisen is about murdering for survival, they still share a lot of things in common. You're free to kill, when and where you want to and they don't care how you kill your victim. The only big difference is that there are no class trials in Juuni Taisen.

The main characters in both are very similar since in Juuni Taisen, they are all mercenaries while in Akudama Drive, they are criminals, aka akudamas. The two show a group of individuals that work for their own personal gain. 
report Recommended by Akimore
A group of individuals are selected to fight in a death match. Both settings are urban and the contestants are a variety of unique characters. Their their battles include well animated fight scenes and calculative and strategic monologues. Mirai Nikki has plot twists and interesting character backgrounds which involve complex romances.

- Battle Royale - Survival - Winner will get everything they want

Bloody battle royales between many superpowered characters. In both anime, many characters die, sometimes gruesomely. Both battle royales are organized by shady governments. Juuni Taisen's participants are representatives of the 12 Zodiac signs, while Ikusei Keikaku's are 16 magical girls who need to kill each other because their number need to be reduced. Both are action-oriented and dark.

Both are about a special group of warriors that fight and deceive each other, albeit for completely different reasons.  
report Recommended by Rafiky
Both feature a numerous and diverse cast of individuals wielding immense power engage in one-on-one battles, but the majority of screen time is spent on introducing and establishing the combatants character, rather than on battles themselves. In other words, these are Battle Royale's that focus on fighters instead of their fights.

1.Both anime implements a survival game technique(Hunger Games style). 2.In both animes, participants have to kill each other to obtain a sort of token from the player they killed, which will lead to their victory. 3.Both are action-oriented, but not too much to make it a "shounen" 
report Recommended by Nekoutsu
Both anime feature a battle royal game, with characters having special abilities. Also both focus much on internal monologue for fleshing out the characters motivations and strategies. In contrast to Darwins Game, Juuni Taisen shows varying characters per episode, while Darwin stays at the main character.

- Both are a Battle Royale type anime. - Both feature roughly 12 contestants faced off against eachother. - Both have rewards at the end that allow the winner to ultimately have their one wish granted. - Both are fast paced, and include a lot of action, death, and destruction. - Both anime are exhilarating, and keep you wondering what happens next, wanting more.

Both series were written by Nisio Isin and share a similar format. Each episode has its own character focus, each on one of 12 characters, while also advancing the plot. Lots of fighting to the death. 
report Recommended by Ebo
Heavily relies on flashbacks to tell a story. 
report Recommended by garydai
Both have a fight to the death where the reward is an all-powerful wish. Lots of action, blood, etc. Juuni Taisen's characters are based off the Chinese zodiac animals, whereas Fate's is based of historical figures. 
report Recommended by entropyflow
These shows are purely battle royale-style death games with furry theming, with lots of violence. Both have an element of betting on the game, though it is much more present in Killing Bites. 
report Recommended by Ebo
Even though both anime look very different, they have many similarities. Both anime are about the zodiac and have 12 characters which are based on the zodiac (in etotama they are all female, in juuni taisen they are mixed male/female). In both anime the main character has to fight the other zodiacs in order to have her wish granted (the MC of etotama is actually outside the zodiac and her wish is to join it) and thus have plenty of action. The main difference is that juuni taisen is much darker while etotama is less serious.

Both are novel sources that are shrunk into urban fantasy like full.

You need the learn learning so you can forget and move on. Similar conclusions in the end. Tatami galaxy is more unique as art goes but you should be left with similar enjoyment after end.

Similar elements of people fighting to their deaths 
report Recommended by ValzeGamez
Both are similar in terms of gore and blood. But mainly both share battle royale traits for a price. 
report Recommended by ggeettaa
Both series are basically about a bunch of professional hitmen trying to kill each other. Be prepared for a lot of deaths since no one is truly safe in this kind of story.  
report Recommended by destinically
both are made from the same studio both are tournament-based i favor the two of 'em since they're so good <3 
report Recommended by eskaella
Both have that plot where every fighters with something special ,participates in some kind of competition where the strongest wins......or survive.

Outlandish characters battling it out. Re:Creators is more like bad guys VS good guys, while Juni Taisen is a battle royale. I do think that they are for a similar audience however. 
report Recommended by okamikotori
A group of people have to play a survival game inside a building. The condition of the players are somewhat similar. If they didn't finish the game within the given time / if they break the rules, they will be poisoned to death. If you liked Danganronpa 3 Mirai-hen, you might like Juuni Taisen as well.

Both series feature a diverse cast of weirdos killing each other in bizarre and entertaining ways. Neither shies away from graphic violence or sexual content. Both make en effort to develop characters, even characters that don't have much of an impact on the overall plot. The tone of the two shows is also similar in that they are dark without being too heavy or slowly paced. They are a cool spectacle that you don't have to think too hard about, and are a good watch for anybody who just wants to watch some odd people kick lots of ass.
