The genre for both is "pop idol". However, they both have action and sci-fi added in. Both Anime use bright colors and detailed art work. They also break from the norm.

Both animes use music, singers and idols as a way to fight in the world that they are living in, whether it is to survive or for power/hope.

Both series involves the theme of music and action involving pop idols doing what they do best: singing, dancing, and kicking ass.
Both series has a similar feeling and also has some emotional moments.

Fighting evil with songs in the space! Both are mahou-shojo and idol centered. I did not expect them to be that similar at first BUT THEY ARE. If u love one you should definitely try the other one as well.

Cute girls doing idol things, but this time with sci-fi elements and with the songs being weaponized. And with the overal tone not being so happy-go-lucky as you would expect.
Nevermind the space and fighting, theme-wise, AKB0048 and Symphogear both work on the premise that songs and music can change the world.
We all have historically seen these, particularly in the 80s-90s where the world was torn between ballistic missiles, KGBs, the Berlin Wall, AK47s, and the operation Desert Storm, and bands like Bon Jovi, Metallica, Scorpions, among other heavy metal bands went up face to face with machine guns, all for the sake of "changing the world through music".
Sounds like a premise, eh? These two anime shows does show just that, anime-style.

Songs and music have the power to connect people. They have the power to save the world.
AKB0048 focuses on an idol group who often has to fight during their concerts due to music being banned in many places, while Symphogear is about a group of girls who get powers to fight through singing.
While they use it in different ways the two shows share the idea about the importance and power of music and they are about girls who fight while singing.
