They are sports anime, they´re both amazing in their own ways. Even though Inazuma Eleven was bad in the first arc (1/27) They both give you a feeling that you want to play the sport.  
report Recommended by Takamura-sama
These animes give the same type of feelings. Both Midoriya and Endou, who also have a similar personality (they never give up) look up to someone who they want to learn from. They're both giving their all to reach their goal, even though they start with pretty much nothing. Inazuma Eleven and Boku no Hero Academia both involve super moves, although Inazuma Eleven is more sports related and BnHA is more about real hero's. In both animes the characters aim to save the world in some way and they also both involve competition.

Similar Because: >Sports (Soccer) Genre >Main Characters Shou and Endou both share some traits (like passion for soccer) and works very hard to complete his team and somehow the furuya triplets resemble Gouenji in a way. *Inazuma Eleven only have supernatural moves and Ginga e kickoff are more realistic.

Both football in highschool and they both have a big goal (the goal in inazuma eleven is bigger)

Both are hot blooded soccer anime. Both have very cool soccer techniques. 
report Recommended by yds1987
Both animes are extremely over-exaggerated and unrealistic with their techniques, but you know what... who cares!!! They are extremely fun, enjoyable, and very easy to get into. It feels like you're watching Dragonball Z and Sports coming together as one.  
report Recommended by srlacount
Both shows are unrealistic but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. They have a similar story in the sense that both teams were average and became strong. Both shows feature themes like friendship and team play. If unrealism is not an obstacle for you, you should definitely try it.

Both series are about sports but done to the extreme with flashy special attacks and less realism. This can be a very refreshing thing to watch in comparison to realistic series. Both main characters have a clear goal on becoming the best and don't give up no matter what situation. 
report Recommended by Tatsunami
Both are cool anime based in sports, both have a good combination of fantasy and comedy that combines with the theme of their sport. 
report Recommended by GoldTrainer7
They are both sports anime with younger main characters and both anime are really similar.

- Sports with supernatural skills but, while Extreme Hearts is many sports, Inazuma is just Soccer; -Techniques with power; -Working hard protagonist.

This show is very similar to »Inazuma Eleven«, only as a Korean animation series. Genres: Sports, Super Power Similarities: – soccer matches that contain super power (card techniques) – a new, initially weak team that takes part in a soccer tournament with strong opponents – a happy-go-lucky captain who loves soccer – characters with colorful hair styles You can say it's something like "Inazuma Eleven 2.0" with less quality (animation, character depth...) though.

I watched some episodes of this show back when I was a kid & the complete first season, last year. I found it very similar to Pokemon with the themes like never giving up, trying until you succeed, determination, self-confidence, team work etc. Although, Pokemon is the better show, Inazuma 11 is nowhere less, especially the 1st season. Also, the soccer shots are 🔥🔥🔥!!!

In Inazuma, players use their feet to play. In keijo, girls are fighting with their boobs and butts. In keijo, they use super-techniques with their boobs and their butts ; in inazuma, they use their feet or their hands. Yup, both are sports. Both have super-inhuman techniques. Both presents teenagers. That's NOT the same sports at all, cuz feet =/= boobs, but they have the same bases.

Both are part of a cross-media franchise and meant to promote their videogame counterpart. Meant mainly for kids, they're essentially spoofs from older series, borrowing a lot from their aesthetics, special attacks, transformations while also trying to bring a breath of fresh air on the genre. They're fairly linear and their characters one dimensional ar best but have this broad appeal that could make them enjoyable for different generations of viewers.

Naruto and Endou Mamoru has the same voice actors. And Inazuma eleven is Naruto jutsus(supernatural powers) and Tsubasa combined. If you love Inazuma, you should love Naruto.

Both series showcases children with big dreams with sports. Teamwork, leadership and a strong bond between the rivals and teammates are seen in both. Even though we see a lot of differences in terms of realism, since Inazuma Eleven IS under a super power genre, both has a lot thing in common. (Watch especially if you have a tendency to ship/slash these adorable guys due to their 'bond' and 'relationship')

Princess Nine is a female version of Inazuma Eleven) see: - at the beginning, a sports team can't play because they don't have enough players - they recruit different people to their team, each with a unique personality - protagonists are similar. Endou Mamoru is a goalkeeper, Hayakawa Ryo is a pitcher, - they have their own special techniques + their relative used to be a sports star but died - both teams become stronger and stronger despite of all the hardships - both have a bit of FANTASTICS! [but i don't want to give spoilers about that] and trust me both are goood)

They are both soccer anime and both share a predominance in the psychological stories out of the soccer matches, altough the soccer matches are important in both series. Difference: "Ganbare! Kickers" has realism overall, while "Inazuma Eleven" (and its sequels) moves toward fantasy with the ball techniques

Both are about a little boy who have great dreams, but have great difficulties to achieve his dream.

Whistle! is also about Football! But more realistic than Inazuma Eleven! Though the enjoyment is a little less! XD 
report Recommended by SaapeXD
The main character of both series give off the same vibe, they both love the sport they play with all their heart, and most importantly want to play it with their friends. Other than that the comedy is also almost the same. The only difference for me is that Inazuma Eleven is about soccer and Diamond no Ace about baseball.

Both shows are about going beyond the impossible and never giving up in spite of staggeringly low odds. Sheer willpower can solve just about any problem faced by the characters in each series. Also, neither show is meant to be taken seriously during the action segments and by suspending one's disbelief, the dei ex machina used throughout the show can be immensely enjoyable.

They're both about soccer  
report Recommended by MOLLY123
Both series are protagonized by kids of more or less the same age. Also, in both series, something as trivial as card games (YuGiOh!) or football/soccer (Inazuma Eleven) is taken to the extreme that the life of a character, several characters, cities, countries or the world may be in danger. Plus, the world revolves around their respective games: in Inazuma Eleven, the biggest conspiracies and the more serious conflicts in the history of the humanity can be solver with one (yes, one!) soccer match, while in YuGiOh!, some companies spend millions to create hyper-realistic holograms to make the game more captivating. In both series there's  read more

They're both similar because they're about talented little kids with big dreams and having teammates that work hard for them. The main characters try to scrape by with a last-minute put together team to fight against the best team. They also can't do anything by themselves as Goro is a pitcher so he relies on the catcher and Endo is the goalie so he needs Goenji to score. I might be wrong since no one else has made a recommendation for this but this is my opinion after seeing all of Major and 2 episode of Inazuma Eleven.
