Princess Principal

Both are set during the early 20th century, about spies, and with a theme of war. Also, they're both historical animes.
Both series are based around spies. Stories revolve around their missions. Tone is serious and dramatical. Joker Game is based in real world history between WW1 and WW2, where Princess Principal take place in alternate steampunk version of victorian era.
If yout like this anime, probably you also might like joker game anime, both of them telling stories about spy, and like your expected in every episode will suprise you :)
Princess Principal is basically Joker game, moe edition.
Both are centered around spy rings and take place over 70 years ago (Joker game plays in the prelude to WWII, PP takes place in a steampunk version of late 19th century England).
As such, both enter moral gray zones and make you question whether or not the guys you're following are really the 'good' ones.
Lastly, as it appears, both are Episodic anime.
Both are spy based anime series with a case per episode. The main difference is that Joker Game's characters are mainly 20-year-old guys and Princess Principal have teens girls.
I must admit, I haven't finished Joker Game yet, but from what I've seen, it's quite similar to Princess Principal. Joker Game's narrative is focused around the missions of the various characters, and Princess Principal follows one group the whole time, but the episodes are out of order, allowing you to unravel the mysteries and figure things out in a very unique way. It also has a sort of spy theme as well, in a time past, though Princess Principal seems to be more of a fantasy realm than Joker Game.
