Both have the same witty banter thrown back and forth, ice queen female mc's. Different in other fronts; might even be the polar opposite. Araragi is the white knight while Hikigaya is the dark knight, an interesting parallel. Like Supes and Bats. Truer in more ways than one. Also, Bakemonogatari is the archetypical example of style over substance with slight surrealism while Oregairu is in some ways a deconstruction/parody of highschool harem anime and simultaneously tries to provide insight into social pyramids/hierarchies using HS as a medium. IMO, Oregairu is much more layered and worth rewatching more than once to catch subtle nuances in character interactions, motivations and the subliminal mocking of cliches of the genre making it a more satisfying experience in the long run, but Bakemonogatari's genius direction is equally endearing and much more visceral.

In common: Similar mc who is rather weak in terms of their official status in the school, but turns out to be the most powerful badass around. Similar school uniforms and combat suits. Laid back protagonists. Pure wish fulfilment self insert mc's. Pseudo harem approach. Both mc's extremely capable to the point that usual equipment cannot bring out their maximum potential. Both mc's coerced into taking up positions that require fighting. Similar supporting characters. Similar character designs. Unique to Mahouka: Cute little imouto. Siscon male mc. Brocon female mc. Not so modest protagonist when it comes to displaying his combat abilities. More details of techniques and their implementation. Unique to CSR: Protagonist very modest when it comes to combat skills. Always holds back. Dense mc, incredibly dense. Has a survival theme. Multiple female mc's.
