These anime share several traits, as narcissistic "geniuses" inhabit a world populated with idiots gain chuunibyo-like powers and go on maniacal killing sprees, mistaking murder and/or revenge for "justice", manipulating those around them into helping fulfill their self-centered power fantasies. Full of overblown drama that 13 year olds love, completely unlikable characters, a panoply of plot holes, and absurd plot twists, both were made by excellent studios (Madhouse/Sunrise) that can make even the most ridiculous story lines become revered. Both anime are far longer than they need to be. Each has also supplied its fandom with a smorgasbord of yaoi fanart. If you loved one you're bound to worship the other as well Also: Pizza, apples, tennis and cat chasing. This recommendation has been done to death, but I thought I'd put it in a different perspective.

- Both anime feature sports that aren't of the usual PE variety and may be unfamiliar to most viewers, yet lack of fore knowledge will not impede enjoyment. - Drama and suspense during competition (touge battles/karuta matches) is amplified through clever use of inner monologue, creating psychological tension. - Characters are forced to strategize on the fly as they face tougher opponents and situations. - Excellent use of rivalries to boost motivation among multiple characters in each series. - Nearly abusive use of cliffhanger endings throughout each season making it difficult to stop binge-watching. - Both anime are about passion.
