Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi

Hajime no Ippo and Kenichi are very similar, mostly by looking at the main characters. Makunouchi is a weakling, Kenichi is a weakling. However, they both train hard and become stronger in order to achieve their goals. Makounouchi wants to know what it means to be "strong", and Kenichi wants to become stronger to protect his friends from harm.

Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi

Same type of "leveling-up" occurs for the characters. Kenichi and Naruto are definitely similar in that there's martial arts, and both main characters start off basically sucking. Kenichi is much shorter though, so you'll be able to enjoy a feature filled show without all the fillers.

Seirei no Moribito

Both set in a mythical world. Each has its own intricate story line that actually follows sense, and politics. Great action scenes for both too (Seirei no Moribito has amazing ones). Check out the other if you've seen one, they're both highly entertaining and more 'mature' shows.

Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha
|
Both shows contain a somewhat "dark" atmosphere with a lighter tone appearing now and then. Each has a "secret" organization that rules the city. Each also has a sort of "special power gene" that only certain humans can obtain. This gives the characters in both series new skills and abilities. With interesting plot lines, both of these will keep you glued to your chair.

Tennis no Oujisama
|
Enjoy watching people play sports and have them use "powers" to help them win their matches? Eyeshield 21 and Prince of Tennis each contain their share of "strive to become the best player". They're also not very realistic, in that many characters achieve extremely difficult/amazing skills. Whether you like or don't like either sport, you'll still enjoy the "become the best" parts in both.

Superior

Vash and Exa could be the same characters accidentally placed in two different manga. Both want to achieve peace throughout the world by "not killing anyone". It's all about self-sacrifice and "love and peace" for the main characters. Packed with comedy and action, if you enjoyed one, you'll undoubtedly enjoy the other.

Two people both struggling to become stronger. They each go through trials and tribulations to get to their "goals". Action, martial arts, each are action packed with both.

Lovely★Complex
|
While you shouldn't be watching Fumoffu unless you've already seen FMP!, Lovely Complex and Fumoffu are quite similar. Both are hilarious and center around school life. Both characters have feelings for each other but are way too proud/embarrassed to show them to the other person. Definitely check out one or the other!

Seto no Hanayome
|
The main characters for both shows are very similar. They get in really "awkward" situations and pretty much every girl has a crush on them. Both shows are very funny. He is My Master contains more ecchi than Seto no Hanayome, but aside from that they're pretty similar in harem comedic fun.

Major S1
|
Enjoy watching people play a sport and get better and better at it? Hajime no Ippo and Major (all seasons) both give you exactly this. While Goro (Major) is more on the "genius" side, and Ippo is more on the "hard working" side, they both strive toward their goals with extreme passion. If you enjoyed one, you'll definitely enjoy the other.

Paradise Kiss

Nana
|
Nana and Paradise Kiss are similar in that they're both done by the same producers. This leads both shows to have a similar "drama" appeal. You're not quite sure what will happen to all the characters, even all the way up to the last couple minutes of the last episode. Both are directed toward more of the "girl" market, but they're entertaining enough for any type of drama/romance fan.

Hungry Heart: Wild Striker

Whistle!
|
Both shows follow a singular \"ace\" that progresses through tournaments and becomes increasingly better at soccer. Whistle is a little more on the realistic side (and also more childish), whereas Wild Striker has a few \"super\" moves, but is also more fun and for a slightly older audience. Young kids = Whistle, Older crowd = wild striker.

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge♥

Like Noelle said, both shows have a reverse harem thing going on (where boys are after the girl). Not all the guys in Yamato Nadeshiko are after the girl, but it\'s close enough to be considered a reverse harem. Comedy, weird situations. You\'ll enjoy both shows.

Nodame Cantabile

Nana and Nodame Cantabile are similar in that they each weigh heavily on music. Nodame Cantabile has much more comedy, whereas Nana contains more drama, but I\'d group them close together in terms of character development and drama enthrallment.

Both shows are centered around music. Drama isn\'t exactly similar in the two of them, but you\'ll probably end up enjoying the relationships developed between the characters. Koyuki could maybe be representative of Chiaki, as they\'re both struggling for a career in music.

Two hardcore hack and slash shows. While Berserk is most likely more on the \"darker\" side of the two, both are still definitely a guy\'s \"beat the crap out of them\" type of show. Brutal, but each has a touch of emotion here and there.

Both are typical harems. Bunch of girls like one guy, who just happens to be freaked out by having so many girls like him. Usually can\'t keep any of them happy for any length of time either.

Hitsuji no Uta

These two are similar mostly because they both deal with individuals who have rather odd \"latent\" abilities (dealing with vampiric practices sort of) until arriving into their high school lives. They both also deal with blood sucking environments (vampires again). Each series has a dark undertone (Tsukihime is somewhat on the lighter side though).

Wolf\'s Rain and Witch Hunter Robin are both excellent series in which the story is presented in a dark setting. Characters are both developed and added slowly as you progress through the series. Each contain extensive action scenes and awesome music to go along with it.

Both of these series follow adolescents. The main characters both follow a set goal where each is trying to prove something to someone. The character development is superb and goes into exquisite detail for everyone. Both series have specific powers or abilities that each character maintains. Action scenes are also extremely intense and well animated.

Hajime no Ippo
|
While the skills of the main characters are on opposite ends (one being pro quality and the other a beginner), both series follow the road to the top. Both series give great history on the designated sport so if you're unfamiliar with it, things will be explained throughout each episodes. Comedy is also thrown in every once in a while. Don't like sports? Don't worry, you don't have to!

Music, music, music. Both series have great music scores to keep you entertained, not to mention the underlining drama that eats away at each character. Even if you're not a fan of the drama, you'll probably end up enjoying the music in some sense~
