Synopsis:

Guided by a star only they can see, a group of maidens known as HiMEs have begun to gather at Fuuka Academy. These young women have been endowed with dangerous supernatural powers that they can use to their heart's content, but there's a price: to wield them, they must put their most important thing on the line. Now, in the midst of school work and friendships, they find themselves caught in the midst of strange conspiracies seemingly related to the terrifying monsters that attack them. Is the power of the HiMEs strong enough to save themselves and the ones they love?

Fate/stay night

Fate/stay night main image

The Holy Grail War is a battle between seven magicians who each summon a mythical hero to fight for their cause. Shirou, a twice orphaned high school boy, had so little magical talent that his foster father did not bother teaching him about the war and its meaning. Thanks to that lack of foresight, Shirou finds himself in a bit of a pinch when he accidentally summons a hero of the strongest class, and is sucked into the fray. The Grail grants the winner any wish they have. But driven by an unyielding sense of justice and self-sacrifice, for what will Shirou fight?

My-HiMe and Fate/Stay Night involve a "worldwide" battle between everyone, and the importance of a companion. Both have excellent animation and a small amount of humour. There is quite a lot of drama in both series, and they're both heavy in the action-battles. I think you'll enjoy one if you liked the other. Fate/Stay Night resembles a game, and you'll love the characters.

Firestorm

Perhaps its the connection between the male and female characters or the underlying dark premise that makes me link these. It may also be the darker progression through the series towards the ending. I'm not exactly sure, but I feel these definitely belong together.

Strifelife

Both My-Hime and Fate/stay night are very dramatic anime and they have a similar story: people are fighting alongside their guardians. These anime have little comedy (though I thought the comedy sucked in both series), but you don't need comedy when you have very dramatic and action-packed scenes. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that both have plenty of romantic scenes as well. I also loved the music in both.

ChrisLondon

I think that My-Hime and Fate/stay night have very similar points. Both are based on a relationship between a human and a supernatural character (Hime-Child/Master-Servant). In both of the anime, a same class of characters is fighting one against the other (Hime against Hime, Master against Master). You have the same kind of suspense in both anime (i.e. you try to guess who is a Hime/Master and who is his/her Child/Servant.) Both anime include strong sentimental relations between characters with a high importance in the achievement of the story, and the music is based on a similar rhythm and melody.

The difference is the aim of the battle between the characters: in My-Hime they have to save the world and in Fate/stay night they have to obtain the Holy Graal.

To sum it up, if you change Hime into Master, Child into Servant and saving the world from an asteroid into obtaining the Holy Graal, you can change My-Hime into Fate/stay night and vice-versa.

Fate Stay Night and My-Hime are quite similar in the general theme they posses. Both are quite dramatic in plot line, with a dark premise of people fighting each other with their own guardians. The storyline does differ in what they what to obtain, My-Hime is to save the world whereas Fate Stay Night is to obtain the Holy Grail and be able to make a wish.

katia84

The similarities between these two amime are many.

Teenagers find out they have magical powers, summon supernatural being, then they are dragged to a fight with each other and also save the world while they are at it! Plus some comedy and romance!

If you liked one you will like the other.

Oehr

Both series are quite dramatic with a love story and more or less heroic battles which decide over the future of mankind! Romantic comedy, heroic battles, love, war, save the world, all inside! If you think you've seen all, you missed this series!

eur3ka

My-Hime and Fate/stay night are both similar because they both deal with masters getting partners to fight each other for a prize.

KiraRin

One of the things that is certainly lacking in the world of anime is a strong female cast. Both Fate/Stay and Mai Hime break the mould and portray the fairer sex in the forefront of battle.

Both shows have an excellent storyline, based around magic and the fight of good against evil and also allow plenty of time for some impressive character development.

Highly gripping shows that will both appeal to a wide audience.

cooltaze

Well both the stories has this female and male lead and they female are always doing the fighting and that there is something that they want to protect and both this anime they used Norse Mythlogy which i find it rather cool.

Phoudou

FSN (Fate Stay night) and My-Hime are almost the same. They both have this unique atmosphere around them that wraps watcher around themselves. They simply wants you to watch them both.

In FSN You are trown in story that follows this young guys (Emiya) strugle as a "Magus" in the war of Holy grail. Story Holds many mysteries and very deep character plots and a very unique way to bring "Legends" up in life (You know what i mean when you have watched the serie.)

Fate stay night deserves to be in my top 2 anime of alltime. It just is so good serie.

In My-Hime you jump in to story that follows this beaty (Mai) that enrolls to shcool with full of "special" female students that have the power to summon powerfull "monsters" and weapons to aid them. These students are called the Hime.

Unique story twisting and sexy characters make this series absolutely amasing. This story holds so many cool twist of plots that you cant resist. You just have to see more of these girls. (It has devoured me in to its charm).

My-hime is the number 1 anime of alltime in my list. My personal favorite and  the sametime my obsession (^.^)

stingreis

Both anime's involve the school scenario, where students from the school have to battle. the battle reasons, and the scenario are different, but the idea remains constant.

Through the battles, certain facts are revealed in both anime's which shed light to the purpose of the battles in the first place. Along with a side story of things that are occuring with the students themselves, those who were impressed with this series will surely be impressed with the other

X TV

Mai Hime might start out incredibly different than X TV, but they both are remarkably similar on the dark/tragic when the second half of Mai Hime rolls around. Both had an incredibly sad and moving feel to them, and I just know you'd like one if you liked the other.
DistMan
Starting of like any other high-school anime shows with a little touch of magic involved these shows don't appear to be very special at all. Things are, however, becoming considerably darker - no feelings are spared throughout the journy within the theme of world destruction. This is a journey filled with blood, hate, love, interresting characters, fitting music, and a captivating story execution.
vnikey

Both storylines have the same underlying theme: the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the world... what would you do? Sacrifice what you care for most or save the earth? ;)

Cetonis

Both X and Mai-Hime are anime that don't necessarily seem like much at first - however as they progress they become very dark, with nearly every battle steeped in emotion. They may be targeted at different demographics, but if you like one, don't let that stop you from trying the other out.

freakzilla

X TV, just like Mai Hime, has a lot of underground mysteries going on. This gives both anime the same atmosphere, which is probably the most important thing in these series. Though Mai Hime starts out very different, as the story progresses the series becomes more alike. The plot thickens, the atmosphere gets heavier and the tension and drama build up as we see everything draw towards a final closing, which is brought about by dark fate.

chamomille

Both series are very interesting and very dramatic. Friendly story at the beginning suddenly changes into tragedy - fights between friends that lead to great personal losses. Both main characters have the strongest abilities of all and will therefore decide the future of the world. If you liked one, you'd surely like the other.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Alt titles: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi

Fullmetal Alchemist main image

Once upon a time, two brothers passed the happy days of their childhood by studying alchemy, which is governed by the equal transfer principle: an eye for an eye -- you can't get more than you give. But these brothers tried to defy that law, and a horrific accident resulted. Now, the older brother, Edward, is called the Full Metal Alchemist because of his metal limbs, and the younger, Alphonse, is a soul without a body, trapped within the confines of an automaton. Together they search for the power to restore themselves, to find the lives they lost so long ago...

You can say that Full Metal Alchemist is the male version of Mai-Hime, although Full Metal Alchemist is a bit more realistic and less cute. Where Mai-Hime has romantic drama parts, Full Metal Alchemist has tragic drama parts. The plot of Full Metal Alchemist is there for more extensive then Mai-Hime. They are both full of action and comedy and in my opinion class A anime shows.
sothis
As strange of a recommendation this might be, I think it's a valid one. Both Mai-Hime and FMA have a very engaging and emotional feel to them, with a mix of comedy, character development, and absolute tragedy. Beautiful music accompanies both as well. Though these series might not have anything explicitly in common, I'm confident that if you are the type of person who liked one of these, you'd like the other.
MechaTama31
On the surface, these shows seem pretty different, but both have compelling and sometimes dark plots, well-developed characters, action, drama and suspense. Both have characters that struggle with their own motivations and desires. Mai HiME has more of a romance element to it, while Fullmetal Alchemist, being twice as long, has a more extensive story. Both are among the finest shows I have ever seen.
freakzilla

FMA and Mai-Hime are high quality and have a similar pace and feeling. In both, you wander into the darkness and find secrets you might not have wanted to know about. There is plenty of sadness and drama that make them feel even more similar, yet they are so different that they'll still end up surprising you.  

Strifelife

Both FMA and My-Hime have a very nice mixture of action, comedy, drama and romance. The comedy in My-Hime is awful, but the series owns FMA in drama and romance. The fight scenes are well-animated and the music is flawless and fits in every scene. I think you'd rate both of these the same once you see them.

Omurqi

Both anime feature a good mix of action, comedy and plenty of character development. The combination of dark theme's with a strong-willed lead character gives these shows an epic feeling, and the comic relief makes them easy and pleasant to watch.

Scrapped Princess

Scrapped Princess main image

The god Mauser delivered unto a world of magic a prophecy: if the Scrapped Princess is allowed to live, she will destroy the entire world. But the knight who was to kill her could not end the life of a newborn child, and so she lived. Fifteen years later, her adopted brother and sister have sworn to protect her, and together they travel from town to town, searching for a life she can't have.

Though Scrapped Princess and Mai-Hime might seem to have nothing in common, they both have a very similar feel and mood to them. Happy go lucky folks who are thrown into the realm of tragedy, with plenty of sadness, growth, and heartache to be found. Call it a hunch, I just think this is a good recommendation pair.
MrsickVisionz

Both shows feature a "princess" that is linked to the destruction of the world. Both shows also deal with the occult. Both shows feature main characters that are put through horrible horrible situations because of their birth rights (My Hime definately takes the cake on that though).

Also, the main characters are both very optimistic and maintain a high level of hope despite knowing the struggles they must go through. If you liked one, try out the other.

VivisQueen

There is little about Mai-Hime and Scrapped Princess' story ideas that link them except for the fact that they revolve around female characters and they deal with the symbiotic relationships between humans and magical beings. However, they share a similar feel because of the mix of acute tragedy and bright colour schemes. Mai-Hime has more complicated characters and better action sequences, but Scrapped Princess is an all-rounder with consistent levels of entertainment. If you liked one, definitely give the other a go.

AiKazumi

Both have young women looking for a purpose to their lives. They both discover what they want out of life. You can get into these, no problem.

Sailor Moon

Alt titles: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon main image

Life can be tough when you're a teenager. Enter Tsukino Usagi, an average, if somewhat clumsy, junior high student whose voracious appetite for sweets and capacity for tears are offset by her enthusiasm for life. Her normal existence is suddenly turned upside down when a talking cat named Luna comes into her life. Suddenly, Usagi finds herself with the ability to transform into the superhero known as Sailor Moon. Fighting the occasional monster may be the least of her worries, though...

So you like young girls with magical powers? And you like a back love story and mysterious plot? Then both these series are for you. Since they are very similar in category and theme, be sure that if you watch one, you try the other!
Cheza
You like romance and action? Then both series is the right for you. Mai-Hime is more for older people as Sailor Moon but both series has nearly the same story. Girls fighting with magical power to save the earth. Mai-Hime has more action as Sailor Moon and a darker plot but you will like both of them.
wolfangel87

If you love romantic stories with a group of girls fighting with magical powers, both the Sailor Moon series and My-Hime are the shows for you. Both series are filled with action packed drama and fighting scenes in which the girls have to test their strengths and personal bonds to help everyone around them.

amtwister10

Girls with magical powers running about saving the world you kind of thing? If that's the case then you'd enjoy both of these series. Both anime include heroines battling for the side of good. With the perfect hint of comedy, loveable characters, and amazing plots you're bound to fall in love with these series.
