Both of these anime feature a young witch who struggles with their powers in some way. They're both on a quest and meet friends along the way as they use their magical abilities.

Both of these films are about girls who live/are teleported to an mirror world with mythological beings. Tons of action/adventure and strong female leads makes me believe anyone who enjoyed one would probably like the other.

Both of these are cute films with strong magical female leads. While not on the top of their respective 'ladders', they work hard with their friends and and end up on a big adventure. Also, dragons!

While there is less action in Kiki's, both of these films are about young magical girls in an alternate version of Europe. Their plots are very different, but the hard-working-witches vibe is strong in both. I think if you liked one, you'd probably enjoy the other.

While their plots are different, both of these action-filled movies are from the same creator, Tite Kubo. If you liked the feel of one of these fantsy films, I think you'd also like the style of the other.

While the plots are different and Burn the Witch is more action focused, I do think fans of one of these films would enjoy the other. They are good self-contained stories about girl(s) who are on an adventure in a 'mirror world'. Great female leads, and overall good quality movies.

Both of these are action-packed films starring a group with superpowers. They mix the modern world with the 'supernatural', and work great as self-contained films. The plot direction is also sometimes similar. If you liked one, I highly recommend you check out the other.
