Both animes are adaptations of classical stories. The animation and characters are very simmilar. There is a romance that has to be keept in secret, while nobles in disguise fight evil rulers for freedom of the folk.

Both animes are set in simmilar times - there are knights with swords, fighting for a good cause. Arslan Senki and Romeo x Juliet discuss the subject of people's freedom, show us that we can and should be good people even if circumstances aren't easy. The animes point to what's really important in our lives.

In both animes the protagonist is a young noble girl, who survived as the only member of her family, hiding and gathering strenght to fight with unjustice in her country. The girls pretend to be someone else, not to be discovered and have much empathy for troubled people. They have a circle of friends who are loyal to them in spite of danger and inconvenience. There is also romance in both, though in Yona of the Dawn there isn't much of it.

If you liked Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World or Romeo x Juliet, then you would like the other because both feature fated or destiny-bound lovers who come from entirely different upbringings and soceities. Plus, both feature strong leading women who are determined to make the world they live in better place for the good of all humankind. Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World is on a greater scale, but the premise remains nearly the same at its core.

Honestly I'm just hoping that I have the title for these right. I feel like these are both kind of save the day, though you don't fully understand why, sort of stories. Yes there is romance in both, the kind where you honest to goodness don't know how they're gonna turn out. I don't want to spoil, so I'll be as vauge as possible. The twist endings, surrounding the homlands of the two stories are surprisingly simular, but of course not identicle, there are tottally things different in each story, and just because you know how one of the stories end, dosen't mean you'll be able to guess the ending, or rather orgins, of the other. Either way both good animes, even if at the moment I don't think they're either really well known.
