RELATED ANIMES
COMMENTS FOR OVERLORD
Overpowered magic caster anti-hero protagonists. If you like the protagonist from Overlord, or the protagonist from Youjo Senki, you'll most likely enjoy the other as well. Action scenes from both are fun. Reactions from enemies and friendlies realizing how overpowered the protagonist is from both are fun.

COMMENTS FOR CODE GEASS: LELOUCH OF THE REBELLION
Both feature something very similar - an overpowered main character that is fighting the whole world and God.
The story line involves an alternative historical sci fi version of earth, where is armed conflict going on aka world wars.
Their iconic characters are pretty much alike both in mentality and in their actions and decisions. Both are overpowered and defeating their enemies very easy.
Youjo Senki being an isekai won't matter as the isekai setting is just a plot device used in the introduction of the character somehow, but I find it that it does not impact the story too much in order to be thought as an isekai.

COMMENTS FOR IZETTA: THE LAST WITCH
The biggest difference between Youjo Senki and Shuumatsu no Izetta is the motive and allegiance of the main character. Izetta is driven by loyalty to her Princess and fights for the underdog Kingdom of Elystadt. Major Degurechaff on the other hand fights for the domineering Empire and does so for selfish motives only. For this reason I feel that Youjo Senki is the superior series. The major is psychopathic and brilliant in combat while Izetta rather detests needing to fight but does so for a greater cause. This makes being in the mind of the major far more interesting and less common for a main character.
However that aside they are extremely similar, taking place in similar time settings in a European setting. Magic exists in both worlds although in Shuumatsu no Izetta it is only used by witches which are nigh extinct while in Youjo Senki magic affinity is common although the degree of talent can vary widely. Both main characters are virtual 1-woman armies unto themselves, their combat standing in their respective series is almost that high. Anyway, my intent is not to bore or spoil you. The point is that they bear a great many similarities with each other.

COMMENTS FOR KNIGHT'S & MAGIC
Both MCS are reborn into a world different from the ones they have known.
Both MCS overpowered at a young age/kid genius
Both MCS have attractive appearances
Both animes have magic involved (and machinery)
Both animes are captivating of the audience
Both have tremendous potential and are stronger than most of the adults
If you enjoyed Youjo Senki, I highly recommend this anime. Although the protagonist's attitudes from both these animes differ, they are both insanely similar in the aspect of being reborn and being a genius at a young age.

COMMENTS FOR ALDERAMIN ON THE SKY
Fairly detailed, enjoy :)
The worlds are somewhat similar, in short: Alderamin is a fictional 19th century beginnings of rifled guns world, Youjo Senki is WW1 europe with a twist. Both magic included.
-Main character is a talented officer (more so in Alderamin)
-in Alderamin Ikta is above all a gifted young strategist and somewhat clever/cunning like JoJo's Joseph,
-Tanya was a ruthless salaryman and now is a sociopathic, mad, ruthless yet sometimes cute gifted fighter/air commander, has historical hindsight from her original future and is able to guess national objectives in advance
-Both are lazy!
-Ikta takes the shortest and easiest way possible to victory, works hard to end duties as quickly as possible and have a nap. He likes his job.
-Tanya loves order and rules, wants a peaceful existence in the capital but is "too good to let be" and gets thrown into the frontmost fights. She hates having to do that, even though she's excellent.
-Both are also fighters (more so in Youjo Senki)
-Ikta uses a magic powered bolt action rifle to great effect
-Tanya uses a magic powered computer/jewel and is basically a commander of self-flying mages (think Strike Witches)
-Both shows showcase military badassery
-Alderamin concentrates on tactics with great, easy to follow explanations; every problem has to be countered with a creative solution and it's really fun to watch all plans and numbers unfold on the screen
-Youjo Senki bets on the badass fun of a vanguard strike force, quality combat scenes, satisfying strategy debates with generals using Tanya's knowledge of 20th century history and doctrine and also Tanya's unique character
-Cast
-Alderamin has 2 main characters: Ikta and Yatori
-Youjo Senki has only Tanya
-Characters (they usually don't change much)
-Alderamin touches on more characters, often uses main cast's past as interludes and tries to brief us on why they became who they are
-Youjo Senki develops only Tanya and only in the present, we get attached to other characters and see their different emotions but a military strictness is placed on their behavior, aside from a few they don't change all that much, half the cast is already mature and developed.

COMMENTS FOR ATTACK ON TITAN
Both are anime set in a unique world, with a military style to them, as we follow young people in the midst of a war of sorts.
Tanya the evil is set in an alternate world, on the verge of starting world war one, similar to our own, but magic technology, and mages exist in this world, fighting in the war. We followa very young girl, who is one of the strongest forces fighting in the war.
Attack on titan follows people who are fighting back against giant humanoid man-eating creatures.

COMMENTS FOR DEATH NOTE
The main characters are very similar, both very smart and ready to kill... They are also both very dark with a lot of death.

COMMENTS FOR THE FUTURE DIARY
Both series revolve around a female protagonist who is psychotic in nature. They also make magnificent decisions and are also well skilled in fighting. Both of the anime are pretty dark in nature and while Mirai Nikki revolves around a survivor game, Youjo Senki revolves around a war. But every war is a survivor game right?
If you are a fan of mind bending genre of anime like I am, where you like heroes choosing life changing decisions, then Mirai Nikki is the one for you.

COMMENTS FOR JORMUNGAND
'Jormungand' is about a boy who hates weapons and anyone who sells them, but he still works for a young female arms dealer. 'Youjo Senki' is about a young female child soldier in a war-torn country. How in the world could these series be similar? First off, they both deal with war and killing, with dynamic action scenes. Both include child soldiers, as well as, manipulation.
The female lead of 'Youjo Senki' shares similarities with both the female and male lead of 'Jormungand,' as she is a child soldier, but is also a crazy, manipulative badass.
The artwork on both series is exceptional.
On the other hand, 'Youjo Senki' is set in an alternate universe that uses magic, with an extreme focus on the war aspect of the plot, as well as, the main character's actions and feelings. While 'Jormungad' is set in more modern times with more of a focus on the characters actions and the violence that comes with the arms trade.

COMMENTS FOR AJIN: DEMI-HUMAN
Both characters were living somewhat perfect lives, until they were just dealt a bad hand, albeit one could say a well deserved hand, and now they have to adapt to what they were given in order to survive daily.
- Ajin involves a methodically thinking student who is thrown into a world of "terrorism and misunderstandings."
- Youjo Senki involves a methodically thinking office-worker who is thrown into a "magical WW1-esque era."

COMMENTS FOR MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS
Both: heavily emphasize the nature of war, are strategy based, and have bad ass main character who seek the end goal of a peaceful life.
COMMENTS FOR DRIFTERS
In both, characters are thrown into a war in different world by god like figure. They dominate the battlefield with knowledge and abilities they brought over with brutal efficiency. MCs are kinda insane and in case of Oda and Tanya you could see then as bad guys.
