The two shows deal with mental struggles while playing a instrument.
The characters of the shows are trying to find their own identity while playing their very instruments and, along with it, their challenge themselves to create originality and while overcoming their inner selves towards their instruments, trying as hard as they can to not just be a shadow to, well, their very sound.
Alas, the instruments in both shows are part of the traditional japanese culture and, this by itself, it can be an ally for how unique they can be as well.

Their art styles are oddly similar and share similar storylines.
- Club is almost nonexistent and only a few are left preserving it.
- Most of the club members don't know how to play the instrument but some random prodigy comes in and everyone learns.
- Actual good music and pretty melodramatic.
- Prodigy goes through some personal crisis and struggles to accomplish it.
- Similar characters.
- Has a competition but doesn't take 24 episodes to complete it.
- Fights against others that can play proper music too.

Both of the anime is about playing an instrument.
Both Mc had a harsh past which led them to start/stop playing the instrument.
Follows same genre.
Has school club involved.
Both mc's are very good at playing and rest are new.
Both anime's main goal is to go to the national competition and win.
Kono Oto Tomare's story is a bit slow and Mashiro no Oto's story is a bit more dramatic.

Japanese culture was embraced through traditional music styles which was shown on the respective instrument used on these animes. Through forming a club, practicing in unison and winning a competition, the characters were drawn to trust their comrades as well as exhibiting their talent and appreciation of music.

Both animes involve the MC playing a traditional Japanese instrument at their school, and they are both also about the MC's trying to get over their personal problems that they're problematic families have placed onto them. Both series are very wholesome and enjoyable to watch. The music in both series is also amazing as well.

Both leads were inspired by their deceased grandpa to play a off the beat Japanese Instrument. And are heavily influenced by the passing of said figure. Both join a club and rediscover themselves and in way their relationship with their grandpa through playing the instrument. I am not sure yet on Mashhiro no oto but I have a hunch that both will have a crowd of girls after them yet the mc will only go for one of them.

Basically the same show but in different colors. Bunch of the same main characters, same situations, same progressions, same outcomes, just different musical instruments.
