Hime is a lot like Moka's alternate, inner personality. Princess Resurrection isn't really a harem like R + V, but it still has a lot of hot female characters and a little fanservice. Also, they both have a great variety of mythical monsters including most of the main characters.

So Ra No Wo To

Similar setting: an isolated, ancient outpost near a small medieval town with odd traditions. Similar style: cheerful slice-of-lifeish with periodic depressing points. Similar focus: characters and their pasts. Similar Characters: A friendly, yet initally immaturely self-centered protagonist: check A highly respected, yet sometimes moody leader who takes the protgonist under her wing: check A motherly and sedate character: check A mechanically-inclined character: check Sora no Woto is just Haibane Renmai with a K-ONesque art style

Both based on novels. The two main characters and their relationships are also the similar. The main plot is about the main couple's journey. The mercantile overplot of Spice and Wolf is very similar in scope to the interstellar warfare overplot of Seikai no Monshou. It may not seem like it at first glance but Seikai no Monshou is pretty much Spice and Wolf in space and Spice and Wolf is Seikai no Monshou in late medieval europe.

The vectors are very similar to the borgu's attack. As the Azumanga-esque art style would suggest, Alien 9 is not quite as dark as Elfen Lied, but it can still be fairly bloody.

Both about a near-human female demon who has to fight her own kind. Main characters both have amnesia and a split-personality which enables them to be adopted into a family. Main characters also lose their shit a couple times and kill regular humans for no reason.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch
|
Both have main chacters who use changing the world to make it just as an excuse to kill millions for their own petty reasons: for Light it's to relieve boredom and for Lelouche it's for revenge. They both also start off with only their wits and a godlike power along with a mysterious helper who gave them that power for some price. That godlike power also drives both of them a little insane. They both also would put their plans at risk only for the sake of saving thier little sister. Later they also both gain a secret identity so they can lead a group to help them conquer the world. That secret identity is focused on more in dn than in cg. In dn the other charcters besides the primary protagonist and antagonist play a very small role and so often remain undeveloped and one dimentional. Lelouche is also by far a more human, sympathetic and complex character who often shows emotions such as love, guilt and compassion.
