Awesome anime! The characters in general are one of the best parts of this anime.

S
SnowmanGrimm

Louise -> Kugimiya Rie <- Shana They are both Tsundere protagonist that are good at beating the crap out of their love interest and defeating some enemies, Louise blows them up while Shana cuts them down with a fiery sword. They also become jealous easily and are very much possessive of their love interests. Saito -> Saoshi Hino <- Yuuji Both are forced to adapt after being thrust to live in a different aspect of life, Saito was hurled in a new world, and Yuuji found out he was no longer alive and that he is just a replacement. They do their best to protect their love interest.

Main character personalities are very much the same and the whole show has the same feel

louise = kugimiya rie = shana tsundere protagonist that's good at beating the crap out of their love interest and defeating some enemies (louise blows them up while shana slices them down). they also have huge tendencies to become jealous and is very much possessive of their love interests. saito = saoshi hino = yuuji forced to adapt to change after being thrust to live in a different aspect of life (saito was hurled in a new world and yuuji found out he was dead). they do their best to protect their love interest. generally idiotic/dense and are easily attracted by other women which results in

Same voice actor and Louise and Shana got alot in common. Shakugan no Shana is more action based.

K
kallykinsCXIII

Not only are there a lot of the similar cast, but also Louise and Shana both act alike. They both always go "shut up! shut up! shut up!". They also are very violent towards the guy they like (Saito and Yuugi) and they seem to be semi-oblivious about it (like you think they notice, and then they dont). It also both involves magic and fighting.

E
Em-Man

Some of the voice actor are the same... Shana and louise got the same Personality. Romance and other stuff....

Shana and Louise basically have the same personality. If you enjoyed Shana's cuteness, firey attitude, shyness, and her unawareness of the emotion called "love" you will love Zero no Tsukaima.

S
Sonja

There are little issues what resemble each others. In Zero no Tsukaima is talking sword, in Shakugan no Shana is talking amulet (+ book). In Zero no Tsukaima the maincharacter girl is powerful and fanatic, so in Shakugan no Shana. In Shakugan no Shana the maincharacter boy has got thought little... accident and is following the girl. Also, he want to become stronger. And so is in Zero no Tsukaima too. And also, Shana and Louise has the same seiyuu, but also Saito and Yuuji has the same one so if you just listen to them, it's hard to tell which anime you're watching now.

E
Esley

The first similarity is probably the character's personalities, the very flashy and colorful art and a great mix of romance comedy, action and supernatural.

N
Nejiri

-In both storys the mainchara is thrown out of his normal world -2 girls fight over his love -The guy gains great strength

X
xyakaix

Similar character relations and similar characters voiced by the same seiyuus. Powerful girl + guy who wants to become stronger. Both shows have quite the same feelings and I loved both of them.

L
Laulaly

Not only do they both star a prepubescent girl who’s supposedly very powerful, but her power hasn’t been fully awaken yet, they also feature a clueless guy who basically follows her orders. And of course they both somehow fall in love with each other, but have a hard time expressing so.

F
fantasylover

Both female main characters are the strong ones. The guy main character starts off weak. However, unlike Zero no Tsukaima, it's not really a harem... since only two girls like the guy.

H
Hirokun

A bit of magic and the main character, who can not admit to that he loves his subordinate

R
Ren-Kun

They seem to have the same air to them, plus Shana and Louise have similar personalities, But as you find out their abilities are quite different.

L
lyza

both female protagonist gets to have a weaker guy by their sides...though these guys are actually the source of their strength...shana and louise also have the same level of "strictness" and behavior when jealous...zero no tsukaima focuses more on magic and sorcery while shakugan no shana involves god-likes and soul eaters...or something like that

Y
Yukari_Hiwada

Shakugan no Shana has a lot of similarities to Zero no Tsukaima: From seiyuu's (Rie Kugimiya, Satoshi Hino, Ayako Kawasumi), flat-chested loli's with great power (Louise, Shana), almost useless guys but with hidden power (Saito, Yuji), love rivals that are completely opposite to the main character (Siesta, Kazumi), magical elements and, of course, romance. Both anime's has also its own atmosphere that would make you love them for its differences.

S
Swiftstrike

Similar Tsundere type theme anime. The plot is not nearly as heavy but the character development is just as good as Shana. The female leads are nearly identical except there is some role reveral with the males. Shana is the protector where as Louise is the protected.

W
wingar

The way the story advances is almost the same.. with the female characters hopelessly in love with the main male character but are always in denial.. which adds to the comedy of the anime =) Plus, both are a MUST-WATCH and the plots although different in certain ways, are just simply awesome with many twists thrown in at many unexpected parts.

K
kazuki-shikimori

In both series a normal boy is dragged into a strange new world. while they are at first, know nothing about this new world, they later on try to help the female lead fight battles. it starts off with the female lead ingoring and mistreating the male lead but later on fall in love with them. it turns out in both shows that the seemingly normal boy happens to be special (SNS)Yuji has the Reiji maigo and (ZNT)Saito is a Gundalfr. SNS has more romance and action, while ZNT has comedy and ecchi.

kiba1996

Both of the main girls are alike and the sidekick guy as well. So much i often get the guy characters confused

M
Manguita

in both animes the main character its a tsundere girl.

Produced by the same studio, you can see that there are some similarities between the two series. Not to mention that the same VA for both the main male and female characters will give you the same feeling when you're watching the two animes. With the famous -tsundere- personality, the heroines in both animes (plus the main male characters) will try to endure hardships which are going to fall on them.

T
Tired_Smurph

Both have the same leading pair of voice actors which most know. While the stories are different, the tales do have a lot of the same qualities. Following a young women of the Tsudere genre with a young man who slowly becomes something to the girl. Plenty of epic adventures and misunderstandings. If you enjoyed one you are sure to enjoy the other.

Z
Zekrane

Both have a nice understanding guy with a tsundere romance, with other girls also falling for the nice guy and the tsundere getting jealous over it (the predominant reasons some of you people continue watching the series after 5 episode or so). The main tsundere character (and some other characters too) also possess Magical powers to fight of the antagonist of the series and the nice understanding guy acting as her assistant. Both of the tsundere are flat. :P

S
SireDarkDerp

Despite the looks of both these animes, Shakugan No Shana and Zero No Tsukaima have one or two things that are similar. First of all, the relationships that are in both animes are almost similiar because it contains one hero and one heroine will have a differcult time to get together since there is always a distraction or someone getting in the way. Second, both heroines of these two animes have a similiar personality except for the fact that Shana doesn't punish Yuji for doing such pervented actions since Yuji is hardly pervented, but Lousie does punish Saito; and also they have different powers.

G

Both main charas are tsundere, Fantasy, good storyline and both the same voice actor.

B
bunny1ov3r

Fantasy action shows in which the main female leads are petite, flat-chested tsundere, both of which voiced by Kugimiya Rie. There are plenty of romance fitted into the story. As the male and female leads fight alongside with each other and overcame many obstacles along the way, including dodging other girls who have taken an interest in the male lead, the two of them grow more and more attached.

F
Fuu-nyon

The main characters (a boy and a girl) are very similar in both series, and are in fact voiced by the same two voice actors. Besides that, it stays true to confused emotions, first love romantic comedy aspects. Zero no Tsukaima is a more-harem, more-ecchi, more comedic counterpart to Shakugan no Shana. If you enjoyed Shakugan no Shana and are looking for something light-hearted and enjoyable, and aren't put off by the aforementioned themes you will enjoy Zero no Tsukaima.

S
Stitches327

Both have romance and action, the voice actors for the leads are the same and the male lead is liked by the surrounding female characters

N
nitso

Both of these shows are fantasy/action with plenty of drama and romance mixed in . The characters are not very similar nor are the settings. However, both worlds are very interesting and fun to learn about and both shows have a similar feeling while watching them.

almostacrayon

Both these anime contain awesome tsunderes who come from different world in respect to their male protagonist counterparts. Both male leads are dragged into these "other worlds" and must adapt. Both main characters are voiced by the same VAs. Both are romcoms mixed with supernatural themes. In both, the tsundere has a hard time to coming to terms with her feelings for the male protagonist. There are heaps of funny moments throughout, and the stories are great :) I recommend either series to any romcom lover!!

M
Mistelia

First the two shows both have a very similar leading pair. A good-natured male protagonist, who is suddenly thrown into life-changing, worldview-altering new circumstances. In both cases, he wants to support his female partner, who in both cases possesses magical abilities, is short and feisty. And what do you know, both of them happen to be voiced by the woman whose name is synonymous, Kugimiya Rie. It doesn’t stop there, however, as both of the male leads are also voiced by the same man, Hino Satoshi. It looks like we’re off to a pretty good start when it comes to a basis for

--Aurabreaker--

Both anime are about guys getting dragged into a new world or situation were their primary goal is survival, and helping some girl that played some role in their coming to that world.

C
ChuuniShana

-Both have a main character tsundere. And when story goes on they fall in love and they fight monsters together. -Same voice actors for main characters. -In both anime main characters appears in a monster/fantasy world. -has 3-4 seasons. -mostly action,romance and slice of life -this is a must watch if you liked/loved Shakugan no Shana. -At the start both main characters are pretty weak and clueless as the story goes on they get stronger.
