Both series have a villain/anti-hero protagonist with a supernatural power to control people in some limited way, and a hero/anti-villain antagonist. The protagonists are friends with the antagonists, and the antagonists' goal is to uncover the faceless, nameless alter-ego of the protagonist. The protagonists are also pitted against their families. Both shows make frequent use of miniature climaxes to go with short and simple story arcs. To begin with, Light and Lelouch are the same character with two exceptions: Light is athletic but Lelouch is not, and they have polar ideologies. The comparison is endless between the two and includes several spoilers, so I won't go into it, but even most of the major events that happen to the characters are the same. The important thing is that Light wants nothing but justice even at the cost of freedom, and Lelouch is vice versa.
