Princess Nine is a female version of Inazuma Eleven) see: - at the beginning, a sports team can't play because they don't have enough players - they recruit different people to their team, each with a unique personality - protagonists are similar. Endou Mamoru is a goalkeeper, Hayakawa Ryo is a pitcher, - they have their own special techniques + their relative used to be a sports star but died - both teams become stronger and stronger despite of all the hardships - both have a bit of FANTASTICS! [but i don't want to give spoilers about that] and trust me both are goood)

There are some more similar things about AL and C!!V, besides they are both about proxy battling. 1) you have a unit that represents your self (in C!!V it's a main card -- Vanguard), not just fights on your side 2) u need to use your imagination and vizualize! (but i wonder why you can't just fight :P) 3) we have a rookie as a protagonist who improves very briefly 4) short introduction and very soon the tournament: local, regional and then nationals.

How it is similar? #1 a beginner actress, many claim her amateur, though she is really talanted #2 Romance with an older man. Very similar thing, i don't want to tell you any spoilers ) Difficulties with understanding these feelings #3 difficulties with revealing one's true self, when one already has created a fake personality to support some person #4 you feel that some great story is starting here

Gosick

It starts like a mystery-solving episodic story based on deduction where everything ends OK, but as far as the show goes on some mysterious power appear little by little, maybe some secret organization or a person that chases our characters, and is somehow connected with some of the characters' past. Gosick isn't even half-aired yet, though we saw some glimpses of the evil guy, and he seems to be similar to TanteiGakuenQ's

We can see a rivalty between two talented boys: one is intelligent, well-mannered and has brilliant skills 'cause he trained himself since he was an infant; and another is quick-tempered, wilful and not willing to play or participate in competitions for the first time. Really, Hikaru is very like Kai ! But Akira is more proud than Amamiya is.
