Alivehoon and Engine are similar in the story itself, which is relatively simple and self contained. There's a male racer who has an obstacle to overcome, as well as being supported by their respective team along the way.
Violence Action and Baby Walkure as a premise, are pretty much the same. High school girls working after school as contract killers/ assassins. This might change, but where Violence Action will probably lean more into manga sensibilities with action, Baby Walkure leans more into yakuza movie sensibilities. I suspect (might change when VA releases) both will have endearing female leads.
Both series focus on the undetermined nature of the female lead's relationship to the male lead. Suiyobi 22-ji dake no kare is the much more PG version of a undefined relationship, with arguably a time limit on the couple being 'together'. I also just really feel like both series have a similar vibe to them as well.
Both series utilize color and black and white filming techniques in a modern setting. The introduction of the female character, and their ideas being the main springboard of events and setting the story into mention.
Both series are are centered around a main character being a dancer, heading towards a career in dance. Their opposite isn't initially interested in dance, but due to the dancer becomes a dancer or intrigued in the world of dance.
Both series focus on a female centered character group in a survival situation. There's a lot of suspense elements and character dynamics that feel very similar.
The main casts all meet at art school. Honey and Clover focusing more on the college-age adventures and departments, with Hidarikiki no Eren focusing post-college careers and paths. There's both the self-made artists, and those who are considered 'geniuses' as well.
Both series focus on a Prince-like, or at least incredibly wealth male lead character. In both series, the more aristocratic elements are usually played off for laughs and are 'popcorn' type of entertainment.
Both series focus on the diagnosis and the impact of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) on a young individual. The larger picture is how ALS impacts the individual, and then the diagnosed person's relationships romantically and platonically. (They also both happen to be tearjearkers on top of it.)
Both titles are centered on a school setting with an all girl's school. Which the level of suspense it different, GGL focusing more on 'battles' whereas Zanokokuna focuses on 'audience approval', the actions of an individual affect the group and the reality of the situation affects the real world.
Both Brave and Battle Royale are based off manga and novelizations. The biggest point of comparison is that both feature high school casts that are sent to a new location where they must survive or die.
Both series focus on a non-traditional main character; 'Ore no Sukato' focuses on their gay homeroom teacher, and '35 sai' focuses on their 35-year-old transfer student. The series' focuses on individual students on a per episode basis, while tying the class together with the overarching plot line, that cumulates at the end.
