It's hard not to see Guilty Crown as something of a Code Geass rip-off when they're similar to the extent the main character receives "the power of the king" from a mysterious female, before involving himself in a Japanese rebellion against foreigners discriminating against the Japanese. There are even robots on roller-skates in it! So far, what keeps the two as separate entities is the respective leads. In Code Geass Lelouch starts the rebellion himself and is driven by both hatred and the desire to protect his disabled little sister. In Guilty Crown the lead is (mod edit) a bit emotionally unstable and gets himself pulled into the rebellion of another man. If the school-mecha warfare blend continues as the series progresses, those linking the two will only increase in number. It's a good thing Guilty Crown has outstanding visuals and music, as well as fast-pacing--people would look down on it otherwise

Koe no Katachi

Both movies involve a girl who has trouble with communicating to the people around her. They both feel as if they are a burden to others, and everything would be better without them. Both girls end up meeting a boy, and are able to overcome their problems, thanks to the boy. Both include reuniting with past acquaintances. (Ishida getting back in touch with his old classmates, just as how Sakagami and Nitou get back in touch.) Both are quite moving films, and get emotional from time to time. Koe no Katachi focuses more on the theme of redemption, and letting go of the past. Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda focuses on accepting yourself, and finding out who you truly are.
