- Plot is about factions fighting each other - Characters rely on each other which is tough sometimes - Both take place in concrete jungles K has more nicely written factions, it even makes you support faction different than the protagonist one

Ive noticed there is blurred line between fantasy and modern world in universes of both shows. There is war between humans and vampires. Gate is more character interaction focused OnS is more battle focused. Rather different animes from the bunch.
