The setting and atmosphere, as well as character design give off very similiar feeling. Both concentrating on the comng-of-age journey of young boys in positions of power/military, as well as medieval wars in the south and east.
Similar Middle Eastern setting.
Both have the main character in late teens with heavy responsibilities.

Both are about a young intelligent MC who travels around his and other country's in order to help their country.
Through their travels they learn about the different kind of culture and politics each city has.
Its an adnventure set in older times with the same feel although to be honest Arslan Senki was a better anime, but i enjoyed both.
Both anime story about military, strategy and war that very interesting to watch
While they aren't similar in plot, the shows are similar in aesthetic feel and theme. Both shows take place in ancient time in foreign countries and center on war. In Altair, the protagonist isn't a prince, but a Pasha (sort of like a military general) and he (like Arslan) is a pacifist and wants to prevent as much death and war as possible. So when fighting comes about, the protag for Altair (Mahmut) comes up with creative ways to avoid war and death.
historical era
war and war strategies
MC's have few common traits
similar atmosphere
Both are epic stories, and depict heroes who have to live an incredible odysey to fulfill their dreams/destiny. Both Shoukoku no Altair and Arslan Senki have historic inspirations (Persia, Turkey) and are good if you want to learn more about or are interested in military/diplomatic strategy. Furthermore, I found these anime had very good animation, music and character design. They do not leave the slightest opportunity to get bored !
Protagonist of the two anime is similar, Arslan a little bit inept compared to but their moral stances are the same.
Strategy is an important case for the animes.
they both have similar scenarios.
they both have similar characters.
Both are on a historical theme. One is Iran, one is Turkish history.
Neither of them ends with a beautiful finale.
