Hikari no Ou

Those anime are totally crazy. First of all, the most obvious similarity is the aesthetic and ambiance of the two and the both shocking and impactful moments they show out of the blue. The plot and characters are over the top. Music compliment the feel of both anime, too. Their genre is fantasy adventure with kids as the main protagonists. Don't get discouraged by the animation of Hikari no Ou in eps 2-5, it gets better. Hikari no Ou is the hidden gem of 2024.

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu

Both tv shows are romances depicted in junior high school. Both about a girl and a boy who try to understand what is love/relationships and their process to interpret, understand and experience it. Both shows are in the cutsie side of the genre but have a hidden dramatic undertone which hits you hard. As The Dangers in my Heart storyline progresses feels more and more like Tsuki ga Kirei.

My Home Hero
|
This anime feels like a mix of Death Note and Breaking Bad. The fedora must be a reference to Breaking Bad. Also, at an episode the main character says my lungs are weak or something. Tetsuo is Light, Majima is L and Kasen is Mikami Teru.

Dark Gathering

Both series are horror and have grotesque depictions of the main characters while suffering. Also, the character designs are pretty similar to one another. Both anime try, kinda unsuccessfully, to include specs of comedy in between incidents without interfering with the main plot or the horror aspect though. Amazing gore and atmosphere in both.

Mieruko-chan

Both anime deal with yokai (ghosts) and their protagonists who can see them while the rest of the world can't. Both protagonists try to avoid the evil yokai, although Natsume talks to them while Miko is scared to talk to them. Mieruko-chan has a LOT of fanservice as well but Natsume doesn't. Also, both protagonists are students and some events take place at school.

MC saves cute girls from a certain supernatural event and they build their relations with each other. Bunny Girl focuses more on the romance aspect while Little Busters on the friendship aspect. MC is snarky in the first one while the MC on the second is plain nice. The plot in Bunny Girl is better but the ''feels'' are there for both anime.
