15 [Similar Anime] Like The Irregular at Magic High School

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?

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.

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).

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.

both potray a single individual who is well versed in politic and military conduct, while bearing a personal burden due to unfavorable circumstances in the past and has complex relationship with his only sibling that would later define him as a character.

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.

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.

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.

Similarities:

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.

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

Both anime are in Aniplex
