Both series prominently feature child soldiers as main characters, though the nuances are different. Both have the characters battle with non-human forces that existentially threaten society. Also they're somewhat tonally similar with both having rather depressing moments and sprinkles of romance throughout.  

Shinei Nouzen = Sgt. Sousuke Sagara. Vladilena Milizé = Kaname Chidori + Teletha Testarossa. Same genres (Drama, Sci-fi, Romance) Eighty Six = Full Metal Panic! + Akito the Exiled. If you like one you'll like the other sice they're both great, deep, meaningful and enjoyable stories about war. Be careful with (Nazi/war/etc.) propaganda on both since it's very frequent. Also everyone is a badass regardless of gender, power or race. FMP! is heavier so read with preucation! 

Historically accurate depiction of world war 2, but the format and stroy telling isnt even close to eachother. 

The dynamic between the two main character's alongside the connection to the supernatural world is greatly reminiscent of 86 

Feeling of loss and Survivor Guilt is the main theme of these story, both have different approach and how to handle it but have same execution wherea there's someone serve as heroine to the protagonist. Overall frieren more laid-back in other hand 86 have more mature approach to it. 

Well written characters with really good development. Both have violence but not unnecessary violence (especially 86). Fighting for freedom.  

Dystopian light novels about societies that are divided and one group is discriminated againts. Both have two main characters - one of them comes from the privileged group and they meet the other protagonist which comes from the group that is discriminated against. Both have cities/districts named by numbers.
