Claymore

Claymore

In a land overrun by yoma - monsters that feed upon human innards and take on the appearance and memories of their victims - humans are little more than cattle awaiting slaughter. The only opposition to the yoma is The Organization, a group led by a council of mysterious men who send out their all-female warriors (known as claymores) to do their bidding. However, The Organization is not charitable; a town must pay an exorbitant fee for their services. Likewise, many of the claymores care little for those who they protect. Clare, the lowest ranked claymore, lives only so that she may one day avenge her mentor.

Claymore and Fight Stay Night both involve a great deal of action and magnificent fighting scenes. The female characters, Saber in Fate Stay Night and Claire in Claymore have similar personalities in their actions towards fighting. They also express the same thoughts concerning their male companions.

Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied

In the near future, some girls are born mutated. Known as Diclonius, this new species is believed to have been chosen by God to wipe out mankind. Unlike regular humans, Diclonius have two horns on their head and ‘vectors' - invisible ‘hands.' Contained within a research facility unknown to the world, the Diclonius are experimented upon mercilessly; many die or develop a hate for mankind. One such creature, Lucy, is said to be the first of the Diclonius. She escapes from the facility, but while fleeing she takes a bullet to the head and is seemingly killed. However, it seems Lucy isn't quite dead yet; she's instead developed an alternate personality called Nyuu. She's washed up on a shore where two people, Kouta and Yuka, find her and bring her home, unaware that such a monster still lurks within Nyuu.

The two main male characters in Elfen Lied and Fate Stay Night have similarities in their individual characters. They both demonstrate a sense of wanting to protect the women in their lives at all costs and sacrifice whatever they can to help them.

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.

Fate/Stay Night and Seikon no Qwaser are two series revolving around people that have the ability to control elements.  They fight against similar people while trying to protect the humans of earth.

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer

Yuuhi Amamiya is a loner whose mistrust of people was instilled in him at a young age by his abusive grandfather.

Despite his apathy, the boy is targeted by a golem while going about his day-to-day life, and ends up teaming up with the other knights anyway. One of his new companions is Samidare Asahina, the "princess" and leader of the knights, who secretly is only trying to protect the Earth so she can destroy it herself! Entranced, Yuuhi swears eternal loyalty to this cheerful devil that promises to crush the world he despises.

JAhU JAhU says...

In both Hoshi no Samidare and Fate/Stay Night, semi-random people are chosen to take part in a "game" upon which the fate of the world resides. In Fate\Stay Night those people are battling each other and using warriors assigned to them for that purpose. On the other hand in Hoshi no Samider the assigned companions are useless in battle (most of the time) and the people participating in the game have to fight themselves. Also in Hoshi no Samidare they team up to win rather than go agains each other. If you thought that the "game" theme was interesting in one of those manga, you might want to give the other one a try.

Sekirei

Sekirei

You know the drill, random individuals are picked up, given warriors, made to fight each other and the winner will be able to decide what will happen to the world. Unlike Fate/Stay Night, Sekirei comes packed with large quantities of ecchi, but somehow the story is still there (and it ain't half bad). What's more the characters in Sekirei seem more likable than the ones in Fate/Stay Night. Unfortunately same can't be said about the fights.

If you're not discouraged by what I wrote before, then you might want to check Sekirei if you liked Fate/Stay night and vice versa.

Enchanter

Enchanter

Haruhiko is 100% head-over-sneakers for his sweet, shy science teacher Yuka. After all, she’s a total brainiac...and incredibly hot! But what’s he supposed to do when an enchanted vixen named Eukanaria suddenly falls into his lap (in a tiny miniskirt) and demands Haruhiko’s help? Demonic battles, powerful sorcery, and a busy bee who can’t mind her own business...what will happen when magic and mayhem mix?

The only real similarity between those two series is the fact that the male lead has a knack for fixing and constructing various devices (which becomes useful in combat later on). If you think that it is an interesting skill, you should try reading Fate/Stay Night or Enchanter.

Soukyuu no Lapis Lazuli

Soukyuu no Lapis Lazuli

Yakoz Yakoz says...

Both action manga where characters make contracts with weapons/spirits of warriors that fight until the end to achieve a mission that's been carried out through different generations. Lapis Lazuli manga, based on a light novel, seems to be rushed and on a tight budget, compared to a globally known and recognize Fate/Stay Night. If you like one, you should check the other one.
