Both anime are shorter series with an mainly all female cast. both series the characters have to deal with a situation not exactly being all that it seems to be. Both characters deal with an extended amount of sadness and both carry along some fantasy elements with them.

Where Madoka features Magical Girls, Haibane Renmei feature the Haibane or Charcoal Feathers. These two series explore some of the more intricate parts of human nature through a fantasy setting, and the general development of their plots are very similar. Worlds that at first seem to be utopic suggest more melancholic truths, while cute and likable characters deal with heavy existential questions and are forced to make difficult choices.
Similarities:
+ A group of girls who are put into a rough situation where they must work together
+ They look similar to normal humans, but are no longer human
+ Plenty of drama
Differences:
- Haibane Renmei is calmer with more of eerie mood throughout whereas Madoka Magica has more obvious dark aspects
- Madoka Magica is a magical girl show while Haibane Renmei is an "afterlife" one
At first, both series start with a slow pace but then they both start to get darker and deeper. however, madoka magica takes the turn faster.... both series also have similar atmosphere... you should watch this anime if you haven't, it's awesome. :)
Both of these series are dramas with supernatural elements that have an emphasis on the relationships between compelling female characters. They both start out innocently enough and both have unexpected dark twists. Haibane Renmei is more peaceful and episodic, whereas Madoka Magica is much darker and more suspenseful. Each anime has its own strengths and weaknesses. Madoka has a stronger cast of characters, better writing, and is much more addicting. However, Haibane doesn't really need to have an epic plot that will constantly keep you on the edge of your seat to stand on its own. Haibane's atmosphere, symbolism and character interactions are nothing short

Despite being completely different at first sight, both shows share similar characters' traits and concept. Both, Puella Magi and Haibane, have similar protagonists, anti-hero and "antagonists" (will not say anything further regarding the last one to not spoil anyone). In both series the characters must fight against inner struggles to find their own identity, in other words, the constant fight of girl vs self that is present in both ultimateley leads them to reach their own salvation.
Both are supernatural themed stories with an all female ya cast and their relationships together as well as them getting caught up in a bunch of strange shit happening around them as well too.
