Synopsis:

Kazuki Shikimori is a 17-year old junior studying at Aoi Academy, an elite school for the magically gifted. However, unlike enrollment to the school would suggest, his magical prowess is below-average. In fact, he can only use magic eight times in his life, or he will die. But not all is not lost: Kazuki's family tree includes the latent genetic material for magical greatness. After that information leaks out, Kazuki suddenly becomes the most popular male student in the school, and girls from powerful magician families begin chasing him to get his genes.

Sure one series has magic and the other is technological but there's a saying that goes that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic ;-) Besides, both series are fun to watch and ecchi-riffic.

Substitute magic for technology, add comedy and stir in heaps of ecchi. Leave to simmer at gas mark 9 and you'll have plenty of things to enjoy about Steel Angel and Maburaho if you loved one or the other.

If you enjoy lots of cute girls flirting with a likeable male lead caught up in fantastic events seasoned with lots of ecchi and comedy, then these two shows are for you. Kurumi is an action show while Maburaho is a comedy, but they are very much alike.

Both anime's have a cute girl that is seriously devoted to the main character. Magic is also a big part of both although Steel Angel Kurumi uses robots to show the supernatural. If you liked the humour in Maburaho, you will probably like the humour in Steel Angel Kurumi. The same kind of ...-Sama humour :)

DearS

A similar school setting, lots of unreal powers. Both series have it. Though where the humor in DearS is mainly fanservice-based. Maburaho only has this a little. Maburaho also has alot more drama and romance than DearS has.
kamkaw

Those Anime are similiar because of an unrealistic reason of love between main characters and both series give us a proof that even an confusion and hesitation can lead to a beautiful love...

sAsAk1

The same ecchi, pantsu humour. And of course the harem theme. They both have the same 'feel'. As light romantic comedy with a hint of drama. And of course the supernatural aspect of the story.

lainkitty

In both the lead character is male and he is surrounded by girls. Both have lost of comedy, Maburaho tends to have more drama and has magic and things that are revealed throughout but they have a lot of the same feel throughout.

Magikano

Magikano main image

Haruo is a short geeky schoolboy with a whiny voice and glasses, and the only one in his family without magic powers. Therefore it should come as no surprise that his life is a constant struggle to prevent being ravished by any nearby female. When a witch under a curse named Mamiya enters the fray, Haruo's precious maidenhood that he holds onto so dearly is placed in grave danger. With the added risqué brought on by the arrival of this new number one contender, Haruo's struggle becomes even more desperate, and his hidden powers begin to awaken.

Both of these stories are cutesy harem comedies centered around a lovable but fairly useless male character who possesses mysterious great powers that have their own profound limitations. They are another set of formulaic stories, but are still fun to watch. Maburaho tends to lean towards the more romantic aspects of the harem stories, and Magikano seems to focus more on the comedic elements, but there's plenty of overlap for both.

Ran

Both Magikano and Maburaho feature a boy that has great magic powers but ignores or cannot use them. A harem soon rises around him and he'll use his magic when he needs to save one of his friends.

Tgeahre

Both of these series have a similar absurd comedy style and are based around a world of magikal women doing crazy things for the love of an individual man. Because both are so short the writters didn't have to worry about saving jokes for later in the series allowing the humor to be packed in tight. Finally, though Maburaho has it's dead spots, Magikano is rarely lack of an absurdly hilarious (non-plot-developing) joke.

Damaged

To me these anime's are spitting images of each other. The both feature a male character that has super poweful magic and can't use it (for different reasons of course). Also, the male character is totally sought after by all the girls in the series, but the male is totally oblivious. Both these animes have a perverted theme to them as well. Basically, if you liked one, you are going to like the other because they are more or less the same anime

Shuffle!

Shuffle! main image

Kaede is a devoted high school student who lives with her adopted brother Rin. She holds a quiet confidence that one day, when Rin finally starts showing interest in sex, he will make the obvious choice and turn to his loving sister. But what Kaede wasn’t counting on was the lords of heaven and hell coming to Earth, wanting Rin to mate with their nubile daughters! Rin, like any teenager would, takes full advantage of his newly acquired harem; but how long can he keep up his carefree, boxed-lunches-on-the-rooftop lifestyle, as the horde of girls on his tail grows?

Maburaho and Shuffle! are both romance comedies dealing with a magical element. Both Kazuki and Rin are your relatetively average guys who just happen to have loads of girls with magical powers drop in on them. Maburaho focuses a little more on comedy than Shuffle!, but some parts of the shows almost mirror each other drama-wise.
tellu54
Both Maburaho and Shuffle! are "magical harem in a school", and feature a main female lead who knew the hero in his childhood, lots of panty shots, and things blowing up offscreen.
Trojohn101

Apon veiwing both Shuffle and Maburaho I can see many things that would attract the veiwers from one to watch the other. For instance both seem to be an all out harem anime mixed with a few other tones. I had a good laugh watching both from the drama and comety in Maburaho to the daughter handing-out kami-sama of shuffle. they both have there own twists and terns so i recomend you check them out!

Yumeria

Yumeria main image

Maburaho and Yumeria are two fairly terrible harem comedies with plenty of ecchiness. Both have relatively unique concepts, so that's a plus, but I also felt like stabbing my brain out when watching each of these. Nevertheless I think if you liked one you'd like the other for the tone, mood, and ecchi theme.
lainkitty

Both romantic comedies with a lot of ecchi moments. Maburaho can be more serious and dramatic at times but also can be funnier. Overall both of these have the same feel to them with the girls and the main character guys.
