These two anime are about an academy with a festival/event to determine who the strongest is. The main heroine is a fire wielder and is also of royalty.
1. Both MC's are uber elite swordsmen
2. Both MC's lack the ability to use uber awesome magic and must rely on their combat sense and sword skills
3. Both MC's have an ultimate mode where they unleash super quick and awesome power but only for a short time, and with a cooldown.
4. Both MC's love interest is a red-haired foreign princess from a small country.
5. Both princesses are fire users with a hot temper trying to do the best for their country.
6. Both princesses develop a respect for the MC.
7. Both MC's respect the princess.
8. There is a loli-ish childhood female that the MC knows.
9. MC's are friends with a shady stealthy person.
10. There are school rankings and multiple school 'battle festivals' for schools to compete with each other.
11. The student councils are OP and somehow command a crazy amount of power over non school associations.
12. Both MC male and MC female must win the tournament to accomplish their own goals.
13. There seems to be a class war between the new generation of (Blazers/Genestella) vs the normal people.
14. MC has to bring another swordsmen girl out of being manipulated and becomes friends with her and trains with her.
There are more similarities, as other people have pointed out some I didn't include in this list. But seriously they are both good (as far as I can tell) and the Gakusen light novel is being translated ATM as well as the Rakudai so both have new content that is still coming out. BTW these are just the similarities between the first light novels from both of them.
These two anime are basically a clone of one another. They're both so similar that I sometimes get their stories mixed up. Both anime are set in a futuristic magic school where we have a main protagonist who's underestimated in the beginning but is actually really strong. They had a chance encounter with the pink-haired fire-wielding tsundere-ish main heroine and somehow evoke their anger resulting into a duel where the main protagonist eventually win. Both anime also has a tournament of some sort in school where our main characters will participate. The main difference between the two, of course, is the main plot and also the main protagonists reasons and motivations for fighting. The main protagonists personalities also differs. Asterisk's main protagonist is a guy who seems to always have a smile on his face while Cavalry's main protagonist is more of the serious type. And it goes without saying that the main heroines eventually falls in love with the main protagonist. Both anime didn't really put anything new to the table but they're still pretty enjoyable to watch although in my opinion Cavalry is a cut above Asterisk in almost all aspect.

COMMENTS FOR BLADE DANCE OF THE ELEMENTALERS
These two anime are about an academy with a festival/event to determine who the strongest is. The main heroine is a fire wielder and is also of royalty.
They both start with the meeting between a boy and a girl that at first don't get along..
.. and then (in Gakusen Toshi Asterisk: after a duel/in Blade Dance: after that she hit him because he.. and that he saved her) they change their mind.

COMMENTS FOR SWORD ART ONLINE
Both represent literally every A1 Pictures light novel adaptation cliché. In fact, TAW feels like what SAO would be if SAO took place at a school instead of in a video game world.
Do you enjoy pretty colors and cute girls? Do you like overpowered protagonists? Do you like hexagons, flashing colors, sci-fi, and swords everywhere? Then you're in luck. If you enjoyed sword art online then you'll enjoy Gakusen Toshi Asterick since both have a plethora of hot girls and swords. Both main characters looks eerily familiar and share a similar appearance and personality, so if you want to see more Kirito go check out Gakusen Toshi Asterick. Both shows were made by A1 pictures so you won't be disappointed by the confusingly fast and flashy fight scenes seen in both shows. However, the music is lovely and the pretty colors and character designs are visually appealing.

COMMENTS FOR INFINITE STRATOS
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk is very similar to IS: infinite Stratos. This is why:
1. Both GTA and IS is in the future, sci-fi setting.
2. Both series is harem, comedy and action themes.
3. Story approach resembles a lot. Even the charachters.
4. MC are both strong and also just started on a new "combat-school".
If you are looking for animes with action/comedy/harem/romance, then this is it. They both will give you a good time of comedy combined with ecchi here and there.
COMMENTS FOR HUNDRED
The two anime could basically be interchanged for one another, they really are That similar lol.
Both stories have highschool students who fight using a magical weapon that syncs with them, in Hundred's case they're used to battle monsters, where in GakuToshi they're used to battle each other in competitions called Festas.
The main protagonist of both series is a dark haired guy in a harem situation with various girls, and both have the classic subtypes of girl in one shape or form;
- the pink haired girl with all-around good qualities who can almost be seen as the female protagonist
- the blond girl who seems older/more mature than the rest, has a womanly body and is feisty
- the loli girl with the flat chest
- a tsundere girl who likes the protagonist but will never admit it fully (in hundred's case she's also the blond girl haha)
It's so similar that even their names (Kisaragi Hayato/Amagiri Ayato) sound the same!

COMMENTS FOR WORLD BREAK: ARIA OF CURSE FOR A HOLY SWORDSMAN
A purple-haired protagonist with lots of combat potential transfers into a prestigious combat university. The schools from both anime are structured the same and the fights that take place there between students are very similar also. They each have an ecchi element to them while being a mix between action and slice of life.

COMMENTS FOR ABSOLUTE DUO
Has similar, if not the same, feeling like Asterisk - a generic dude with a goofy LE ANIMU weapon and "special ability" is surrounded by girls with one-line personality, mostly serving as cocktease for MC.
It's also set in highschool, because of course it is.

COMMENTS FOR MY HERO ACADEMIA
Both feature people with superpowers (Genestella for Asterisk and Quirks for MHA) and high school setting (all schools of Asterisk and UA High) with awesome action scenes complete with funny moments. Both English dubs are super awesome. However, Asterisk is more fanservice-y than MHA. Aniplex of America distributes Asterisk while Funimation distributes My Hero Academia.

COMMENTS FOR UNDEFEATED BAHAMUT CHRONICLE
Besides Infinite Stratos, id say Gakusen Toshi Asterisk is the second most similar to this series. especially in terms of characters:
-Both MCs are the laid back type, Transfer student with a Hidden and mysterious past. They also are really powerful with hidden abilities.
-Both Main Heroines are the classic Stubborn Tsundere, princess who hates the MC at first for seeing them Naked or half Naked then challenges them to a fight.
Then after the fight starts to immediately gain feeling for them. They both are also kinda lacking in the chest area too. (This is all ep 1 so it isnt even spoilers).
-Both MCs Also Have a Kuudere childhood friend who of course has feeling for the MC too.
-Both Take place in a Battle School like environment with swordsmanship and Mecha abilities combined.
