Almost the same art style with the main protagonist being aware of his situations and intelligent. Also girls.
The MCs both meet a ton of girls which have problems and he helps them with solving said problems. In the Monogatari series, the MC is a vampire and the girls are often possessed by spirits or aberrations (often caused trough past traumas etc). In Grisaia the MC is a trained assassin and the girls all suffer from mental disorders/traumas. Some of the girls in Monogatari also suffer from mental disorders next to their possession.
Monogatari is more intellectual and does things really smart. A lot of irony and methaphorical wordplay. Grisaia takes itself too serious at times but it's a fun ride.

Both are harem anime, and have some ecchi&service scenes. Each of the heroines have a dark past.
The MCs, Yuuji in Grisaia series and Koyomi in Monogatari series, although their personalities are totally contrary, both of them have bravery and sense of justice to save the heroines around them.
Both series have the same character designer--Watanabe Akio, so the characters seem alike, especially Yumiko(in Grisaia series) and Hitagi(in Monogatari series).
-MC are both going to extreme measures for people unralated to them
-MC is surrounded by very attractive and unique heroines that fall for them
-MC is the most luckiest person in the anime universe at the same time, so unlucky because of what happened to them in the past that made them to help the heroines.
I dropped Bakemonogatari around episode 9 due to spoilers from friends,internet and I just couldn't keep up with the order to watch
But Grisaia and Bakemonogatari have similar elements. Male MC tries to help the female characters's. both have lots of dialogues except Grisaia has some mature content
All of the main characters in each series are carrying a serious trauma, which manifests itself through their personalities, afflictions, and actions. While it may seem on the surface that they're "just fine," deep down they're all struggling and coping with it in different ways.
The male main character of each series is involved in healing the trauma of each girl, through his own strange methods, to let them help themselves and recover. In many cases the coping mechanism is represented metaphorically as something completely different.
Oddly enough I can't stop thinking about Monogatari series while I watch Grisaia no kajitsu. It is very similar in terms of artstyle and direction. The series revolves around mostly dialogs (as in Monogatari) but is less dense and more humor packed. Interactions in general are VERY alike and you can easily tell they got inspired by Monogatari series.
Very recommended if you are a fan of the series and want a refreshing yet similar thing.
Also if you are like me and you like nudity, GnK has plenty of it.
Main character goes around solving problems for different girls. The 'problems' in both anime are supernatural but has symbolism to real problems like loneliness.

Interesting Characters + badass mc + crazy artstyle + epic animation.the grisaia series and the monogatari series are quite similar
Grisaia also tells a story about serious problems and trauma, in less abstract but more grounded and even brutal way. Deals with themes I've rarely seen in movies (if at all), can make you rethink your life and maybe face some unwanted truth. Characters, even if compressed more in comparison, still are likeable and relatable. While Monogatari Series deserves it's place among best anime ever made, Grisaia is greatly underrated in my opinion
Both harems with girls where each girl gets some focus to understand them and get attached. The comedy and drama-esque vibes are similar. Just watching this made me think of the Monogatari Series.

Both of the anime revolves around girls who's having a drama in it's current time that has a connection with each of the girls past.
Both does have a mysterious main character who helps the girls.
Both story focused on the girl's depth character that can make them realateable and likeable, well of course there's the annoying loli.
