Akuma no Riddle

Main protagonist wants to protect a girl from being taken from a group of maniacs, although Akuma no Riddle has a heavier focus on violence and less on thought, and Utena has more of a focus on psychological and character development.
In my opinion Utena executes the concept better though.
On the surface they may not seem all that similar, Akuma no Riddle feels a lot more like a battle shounen than Utena, but they both have a very prevalent shoujo-ai theme, and both seem to follow a 'monster of the week' style of play.
Utena is a superior show, with a lot of darker themes in terms of psychology, patriarchy and a twisted take on the coming of age trope, we have yet to see if Akuma no Riddle will be able to compare.

Both have dark action elements where the protagonist is protecting someone trough duels and similar fights. They have a somewhat similar tone.
Both shows have shoujo-ai elements.
