The Kawahira family specializes in dealing with troublesome spirits with the help of inukami, strong dog spirits that take human form. Members of the family are expected to make pacts with strong inukami in order to fulfill their duties, but their family has a black sheep: the perverted Keita, who charges people for his help. His inukami, Youko, is dedicated to make Keita completely hers. Her favorite form of punishment for him when he strays is teleporting him into the city completely naked. He's been arrested for indecent exposure so many times that he's a jailhouse regular, and is considered an outcast by his family and normal society; yet an inukami of the highest caliber chose to be his partner?! Is there really more to him than perverseness?
Like Zero no Tsukaima, Inukami! has similar plot elements of a perverted but kind-hearted young man paired with a beautiful magical girl who wants him to look only at her and punishes him thoroughly when he doesn't. It is an outrageously funny show with the connecting thread of the relationship between these two.
Both anime have a couple as the main characters. The ladies have magical powers that far exceeds the mens' abilities. There is a lot of ecchi and oggling by the men that they get punished for magically by the women. Although they have a lot of bickering and the men are continually looking at other ladies, they really do love each other.
These two series have main male character that is kind of perverted and concentrates of looking for woman, while the main female character tries to make gim concentrate on her. Magic, fighting, evil and lots of fun is what you can find in both of them.

Further, the development of both the hero and the heroine, as well as their relationship, is steadily done throughout both. Characters aside, both series are able to show adequate plot and story development, allowing for viewers of the series to attain satisfaction and enjoyment.
Overall, if you enjoyed Shakugan no Shana, you will most probably enjoy Zero no Tsukaima and vice versa.
The interaction between Shana and Yuji is so similar to the interaction between Louise and Saito that viewers may not notice the difference. Character development also progresses in a similar pattern.
Ranma, raised to be a man among men, has a bit of a problem: he is half woman! While training in China he fell into a strange magic spring at Jusenkyo. Now, he is eternally cursed to change into a beautiful woman whenever he is hit by cold water, but that may be the least of his problems; his father has betrothed him to marry! There's never a dull day for Ranma as he attempts to find a cure for his curse, train to become stronger, and grapple with the fact that half of himself may be more feminine than his fiancée!
Both have a focus on a developing relationship between two people who are stuck together through circumstances beyond their control and who are trying to understand how to get along with each other, and if they even want to get along in the first place. In both shows, the female protagonist is violent, exceedingly jealous, and constantly pushing away the male protagonist despite the fact that deep down, they know they want to be with him. Both male protagonists have a series of women who fall in love with them and chase them down at all costs, often resulting in awkward situations and anger and jealosy from the female protagonist. In addition, both male protagonists develop a strong desire to protect the female protagonist, despite the fact that the female protagonist could probably take care of herself. And althought Zero no Tsukaima takes place in a magical world, while Ranma 1/2 takes place in modern Japan, both have strong elements of magic and fighting that are essential to the plot. The humor, romance, magic, harem, and fighting elements make these shows a natural pairing. If you liked one, you will probably like the other.
