Haifuri and Kancolle involve high school aged girls as the main cast, in Kancolle they are personifications of WWII battleships where in Haifuri they are assigned to a specific ship.

Each main character has the same go-getter attitude towards learning new things and find inspiration in others/themselves to help motivate them. While they are each based around school they are also action/battle heavy as well. If you enjoyed KanColle and want something similar maybe a little more slice of life try Haifuri.

-Both have comedy, but New Game has more SOL while High School Fleet has more action

Both have very simple repetitive plot: characters go somewhere, get attacked, then go somewhere else.
Plots of the both titles feels like they would be more suitable for action game (shooter for Ingress and see-battle game for High School Fleet) than for anime.
Also 3DCG is heavily used in both shows: Ingress is full 3DCG series, while High School Fleet relies on it to show ships and sea battles.

- Both animes had exposed their darker nature during the 1st few episodes
- The characters in both anime are invloved in some sort of a war

hehehehe the truth is that the love of the Japanese for underage girls aboard ships or representing anthropomorphic ships is typical of their postmodernist military culture, either because Japan is an island and needs that connection of protection with the sea or because it was one of the naval military potentials that rivaled the British Empire ... love, sea, kanmusume, schoolgirls, sailors and love... are a fetish of Japan that distinguishes it over other nations with the same social, geographical and social-historical characteristics!

Both series share the premise of youngsters wrongly accused of terrorism and being on the run. They also feature the mundane goings on inside their respective vessels. Ryvius is a bit more mature and depressing however.

Alright, so this is gonna be a little out there, but hear me out, because while I was watching High School Fleet, I kept thinking about LotGH and for good reason.
