This question excludes works that are based on, adapted, or inspired by one or the other (i.e. the magnificent 7 and the 7 samurai don't count, or any character based on Sherlock Holmes sharing similarities with Sherlock Holmes). I want people to think of works that one would seemingly think are not similar but have similarities.

@ami_angelwings The Asterisk War and Chivalry of a Failed Knight both premiered their anime series in the same season (fall 2015) and their very similar premises (magical battle school harems with red-haired tsundere lead heroines, among other similarities) apparently led many to compare them.
In a similar vein, I find it interesting that Cross Ange and Yona of the Dawn came out at the same time too (fall 2014). Both are two-cour anime series about princesses who basically lose everything at the beginning of the story. These stories diverge quickly though, in both tone and concept.
