COMMENTS FOR CHIVALRY OF A FAILED KNIGHT
Both protagonists are deemed the weakest (in magic) and berated by his peers in their school, but only because the evaluations of them are selective, which neglects their other superior strong points (their physical abilities) that may even surpass other so called "geniuses."
They live together with the heroine, who is considered the complete opposite of the protagonist, the strongest and most talented, and thus revered for their skills.
Do you like main characters such as Tatsuya Shiba in Mahouka who like to surprise arrogant elite-class noobs with their amazing combat skills?
Try to watch Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry!
While Tatsuya is a talented engineer who is just perfect at everything, Ikki Kurogane in Rakudai has no natural-born talent at all and only depends on his hard work and a bit of his intelligence. There are also some incest and harem in Rakudai similar to Mahouka but the show does not give too much focus on the incest part.

COMMENTS FOR THE FRUIT OF GRISAIA
Fruit of Grisaia and Irregular, oh man. Where do I begin? The badass main character, the ridiculous harem, the overplayed enemies of the main cast. They are so similar it's physically painful. Except, what is this? Grisaia is better. Why? It's simple. Because Grisaia is horribly aware of what it is. It's a harem show with an awesome protagonist doing awesome thing. The creators know it and they break nearly every stereotype it sets. Irregular insults the audience's intelligence. They divert your attention with lengthy meta-explanations and incest they pretend isn't there. Not a single person in this entire cast was worth anything to the main story. NOTHING. You could've changed any of their personalities, destroyed any of their backstories/existence, and the story would've been the same.
If you are looking for a main character that is nonchalant, who has little to no emotions at all and is trained to be an ice-cold killing machine with a sister complex. Then this anime is the right one for you. Even though the stories are a tad bit different I would still highly recommend watching Grisaia and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei for their stories and their protagonist. They are both great animes and you will love them both.

COMMENTS FOR NO GAME, NO LIFE
At first glance, No Game No Life (NGNL) and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (MKnR) don't have many similarities if you just take the premise of the respective stories. However, a noticeable trend is adopted throughout the series, and that is the mastermind type characters within the anime.
Tatsuya Shiba (MknR) and Sora (NGNL) are both characters with immense mental skills, able to create masterful solutions to problems that will have viewers on the edge of their seats, whether it's being unexpectedly skilled at magic engineering (MKnR) or Outwitting a certain Human and her elf friend (NGNL).
If you found you enjoyed the wit and strategy employed by either character, I'm sure you'll love the other and thus I highly recommend giving the other a try.

COMMENTS FOR AKASHIC RECORDS OF BASTARD MAGIC INSTRUCTOR
For one, both Glenn and Tatsuya are overpowered. Both involve displaying magic that's fun to watch and creates epic battle scenarios and tension at the same time. Both have one main character ship; for the Irregular at Magic High School, it's Tatsuya and Miyuki, and for Akashic, I'd say Glenn and Sistine although there';s a huge age difference, but they work well together.
I also love the opening themes for both anime along with the rest of the music.

COMMENTS FOR LEGEND OF THE GALACTIC HEROES

COMMENTS FOR A CERTAIN MAGICAL INDEX
Mahouka Kouka no Rettousei features a fusion of magic and science where magic has been made into a science. In Toaru Majutsu no Index, it features a similar fusion of magic and science, although admittedly its more of a science vs magic thing.
Personally, I find both fun and entertaining to watch because of that combination ^^

COMMENTS FOR CHROME SHELLED REGIOS
Both have light novel source materials and focus on a cool MC hiding his untold back story and past experience from the rest of the militaristic high school and slowly showing it off as he gets into more fights surrounding a mixture of hand to hand combat, specialized weapons, and magic / kai. Also both have an interesting support cast to make up for the withdrawn personality of the MC.

COMMENTS FOR CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE
The two most important aspect about classroom of the elites are 1.) the character and 2.) the setting/environment. Things like plot are just a by-product of these two interacting and not what you should be looking for if searching for an anime similar to this show.
The characters’ background of being smart and witty as well as mysterious/unknown to others is a very simple yet basic comparison between the two. Chances are, you like this troupe of the underdog protagonist surprising pretentious enemies.
The importance of the setting here is what filters out every other show that has an overpowered protagonist as the premise. The background of these special school system has the ability to attract you to the show in the beginning as well as create situations (special exams vs competitions) that allow the characters to truly reveal their strength.
If you are simply looking for an anime with overpowered character, you can just do an advanced search under the Shonen category, but if you want an anime that is similar to Classroom of the Elite, then the Irregulars at the Magic High School is most likely what you are looking for.

COMMENTS FOR LOG HORIZON
These anime series focus mostly on thought processes and the inner workings of their seemingly magical worlds, but they also contain action-packed fights and bits of humor.
Additionally, the protagonists are similar—they work to keep their chaotic environments in check, they show prowess in strategy and in combat, and they have the affection of women but are too dense to realize it.

COMMENTS FOR THE ASTERISK WAR
So, here we have two shows based arouind the idea of an op main character in a magic school that fights other schools in competitions and things. Characters are very similar and to be honest their storyline can be seen as very similar (except Asterisk was much shorter). Anyway I think if you liked one you should like the other xx

COMMENTS FOR SWORD ART ONLINE
Both anime are in Aniplex
Both anime have powerful male protagonists that happen to be in a low state, like how Tatsuya is a Weed and Kirito is a beater.

Both main characters grow up having a tough child hood, which later in life makes them have a laid back/ calm attitude to stay out of trouble not to mention that both main characters are very intelligent.
