The main similarity between Kaze no Stigma and Hatenkou Yuugi is in their main characters: the guys are over-powered, they keep their cool in almost any situation, and they have myterious, tragic pasts... while the girls are slightly less powerful, but confident and they possess a strong sense of justice. Their interaction is also quite similar, they're always squabbling, the girls usually losing, and their dialogue is hilarious. If you like battles where the main characters kick ass with style, these two anime should entertain you well.

Dark magic. Supernatural creatures. Mysterious happenings. Three elements that are woven throughout the plot of both of these shows. If you enjoyed watching the revealing of sinister motives as each mystery unravelled in one show, you will want to check out the other.
In the mystical world of Shangri-la, demons and humans live side by side, watched over by a parthenon of ancient Chinese gods. But when normally-civilized demons start to go berserk, the gods require the services of Genjou Sanzo - a Buddhist priest with a magical gun, an evil-banishing scripture and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Aided by the ancient monkey god Son Goku, the half-demon Sha Gojyo and the demon exterminator Cho Hakkai, he sets off on a treacherous journey westward, with armies of demons, dark mages and angry gods all standing in his way...
At a glance, the two series are completely different.
A young girl is kicked out of her own home by her pop, and teams up with some bishounen in a journey to "see the world."
A borderline-sociopath monk is sent off by some deities, and teams up with some bishounen in a journey to prevent world destruction. Well, okay. Maybe it's not completely different.
Both "H.Y" and "Saiyuki" have the same "episodic" feel. They travel around, coming across different towns and people. A few episodes focus on each of the main characters, but for the most part you get a new batch of supporting characters every few episodes.
The two series are definitely different enough that a viewer who enjoyed one could watch both and feel like they weren't watching the same thing twice.
