The guy in both Anime is accused of being a pervert when he really isn't one or isn't intentionally trying to perv. As for the main female character, she easily becomes jealous, she has a temper and has issues of some kind.

Both female leads are tsunderes. The female and male leads in both of these anime have the same seiyuus. Basically, Hidan no Aria (Aria the Scarlet Ammo) is Toradora with guns.

They both have the "boy-meet-girl" trend. They both feature a tsudere, shorty, and powerful (in terms of battles) character voiced by Rie Kugimiya. Both produced by J.C. Staff.

Kinda similar in some ways: includes some sort of relationship with boys and girls carrying out a gun in school grounds and fighting against one another for some certain reasons. It's comedy and enjoyable to watch! Great animations as well

The guys in the Anime happen to be a special person who is allowed to go to a special school. There are harems involved, plenty of action and crazy chaos.

Hidan no Aria is not quite the same but it also involves having the male character urge to protect the female lead. Similar genres.

They're both action,school with some romance. There are some magic in both,though,in Highschool DxD more. If you liked Highschool DxD I think you will like Hidan no Aria,too ! In short,in both animes is a highschool boy that one day met a girl and his all life changed because of her.

- Teenagers wielding firearms and other sort of dangerous weaponry - Main characters become partners/duos - The Duos are highly skilled - The Duos spend their days completing missions - Characters are trained to serve and project Japan in a "secret" organization - Kinji and Takina have black hair and are usually the serious one in their respective duo - Aria and Chisato are seen as highly capable and skilled in their field - Characters are usually in a school uniform - Comedy and Action being the main genres of these animes

It's basically the same thing: a guy who doesn't want to do anything and just wants a normal life, but then they're stuck with a girl who is abusive and has to have everything go their way. On the other hand, Kinji goes into h.s.s mode that makes him into a super cool genius, and Ryner just has natural talent with the help of his alpha stigma eyes

These two shows are really similar. They're both set in psychotic boarding schools where teenagers are trained in combat, but still have to deal with real fights on a regular basis. They have several genres in common (action, ecchi, harem etc.) and a number of characters with similar backgrounds, abilities or personalities: Tor===>Kinji- Both have a very tragic past involving the death of a sibling, are weak on their own but have a unique ability to make up for it, are seriously lacking in confidence and soon discover their past has a connection to the heroine's. Julie===>Aria- Both are very short for their age, dual-wield swords, have  read more

Similarities: Both have the same situation where it involves teens doing public safety. Both involves the same plot where the public is in peril. Both have the same harem element, Both also have the same action genre. Dissimilarities: One was set in a school where students need to do a job for grades, while the other anime is a place where teens works to earn their checks. One involves a two people duet to do a job, while the other is a 4 people job.

Both are action anime that have a girl suddenly joining the main character who then fight together against various enemies. They both use effective humor, have entertaining action scenes, and have deep characters. Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi is a little more fantasy-based with magic and vampires, but it doesn't overly affect the story.

There are two ways about those two. In Hidan no Aria, they will fight some criminals. But in Michiko to Hatching, they will fight some gang members. But the two characters are partners for each other to fight criminals and gang members.

Super powered kids go to a school that teaches them how to fight.Hidan no Aria is more of a harem/action while soul eater is more of a shounen.The school in Soul Eater is always super natural while in Hidan no Aria only a few classes are.And in both shows the main Charcthers take contracts.

Seemingly normal schools but with a supernatural/abnormal twists.Baka to test is more of a comedy while Hidan no Aria is more of a Action.

Super powered girls surround a seemingly normal guy.Both schools they attend gives the group of main Charcthers missions and the school itself is strange and full of strong people.But the difference eraser the main guy is in Hidan no Aria he can be decivingly strong and brave while In Majiko oh samurai girls the main guy uses his brain instead of his strength,and Both of Harrem/Action too.

The are lots of elements of the following: -There are many action scenes -The main characters has many symptoms like abilities and modes. -The main characters are the sword fighters. -Lots of drama scenes -Lots of guns and melee weapons -Killing and arrested all the criminals and gangs -Lots of climax parts 
report Recommended by KurtDexter
Both male protagonists have more than one girl going for them in the series (although I wouldn't consider either of them to be "serious" harem by any means), and at least one of those girls in both series shows their love for the protagonist in creepy, overbearing ways and demonstrates extraordinary skill in a certain area - although Sakurasou probably pulls this off without being as cliché or unrealistic.

Grisaia no Kajitsu's main male lead is simply Hidan no Aria's lead with his assassin mode left on. These Anime's also both contain a lot of the same features: - A strong male Lead. - A main love interest (With other party's trying to get involved.) - In depth Character development. - An action packed story. - A out of the ordinary school setting. There are some differences for instance: - Grisaia no Kajitsu is classed as an Harem (Hidan no Aria is not but does contain many features of a harem.) - Hidan no Aria contains humans with supernatural powers.

COMMON: In both the main female character is a tsundere(I think Mio from MM is more kamidere than tsundere). In both the male main character has a special ability.Taro from MM has a ridiculous amount of "Pervert Energy" while Kinji from Hidan no Aria has "Hysteria Mode"(very similar to "Pervert Energy") In both is a girl who is jealous of the main couple(Shirayuki from Hidan no Aria and Yuno from MM) UNCOMMON: In Hidan no Aria the school is more special (high school for mercenaries) while in MM is a typical school. In Hidan no Aria is a lot of action while in MM  read more

If you're interested in military schools with badass male leads,girls with guns in action and a little bit of magic/superpowers...you might like this both.

Both anime have very similar characters. Kinji - Kyon, Shirayuki - Mikuru, Reki - Yuki, and Aria - Haruhi! The type of depiction (in my opinion) is the same. And the atmosphere, the humor of the two series are identical. 
report Recommended by yohikk
They are both comedies with a military style background and a good sense of romance between the two main characters. Though FMP is 3 seasons long and hidan no aria is short. 
report Recommended by MBreeze
Both shows follow teenage boys (Kazuya/Kinji) who come from distinguished families and have poor reputations in school. In both cases, they meet a diminutive teenage girl (Victorique/Aria) who is very skilled at detective work but also very bossy and treats the male lead like her servant. They also both have distant relationships with their mothers, albeit for different reasons, and eventually warm up to their respective partners. The main villains of both shows are quite similar to each other, though "Gosick"'s has a clearer motive and end goal. Essentially, "Gosick" can be read as the series that "Aria the Scarlet Ammo" should have been.

Both have male leads with special talents, romance, and many female characters.

Hero of the past who descends in the present, taking the name of their past life and protecting their daily lives, that would be the main reason why Seiken Tsukai no World Break and Hidan no Aria are very similar. not to mention Tooyama Kinji(HNA) and Haimura Moroha(World Break) daily life being surrounded with cute girls. Both great anime series to watch!

In both anime the main characters are descendants of a famous historical figure. There is a lot of action because the main characters are sought after because of their heritage. Also, both anime have a delicious loli.

Both involve magic and guns and give off the same feeling from the anime. Both have a girl who meets a boy. The guy used to be normal until he met someone and then after has to use magical powers. 
report Recommended by iNinjeek
Both the series are all about a protagonist in an overly violent setting surrounded by girls who just happen to be incredibly important historical figures (admittedly in Hidan no Aria, they are descendents of those figures, but all the same). Both are shows worth watching and if you like the way that the back-story in each is related to the histories of the characters in namesakes then they are both for you!

Similarities: Both animes were in a school setting, with an extra harem genre.

Both muchachos simply wanted a simple and quite life. Both animes have one member of the harem who's a yandere. The lead chicas in both animes were also tsundere, and were also feared by their muchachos.
