Two Sides of the Same Coin

I mentioned before about how 2 of the shows I'm watching have very close similarities... Well, 4 episodes in and it seems that they continue to have similarities...

The Asterisk War and Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry are 2 sides of the same coin IMO.

TAW MC (Ayato) - Younger brother looking for his older sister in a magic school. Has his powers bound by his older sister but no clear idea why yet.
RKC MC (Ikki)- Newest generation of historically powerful Magical Knights but was born with very low magical aptitude and shunned by most of his family. 

TAW Love Interest (Julis)- Seen by MC on first day of arrival in her underwear while getting dressed. Gets super pissed and tries to kill him.
RKC Love Interest (Stella)- Seen by MC on first day of arrival in her underwear while getting dressed in their room (they are roommates and didnt know). She slaps him and then challenges him to a duel where his life and freedom are on the line.

And the hits keep coming... Both MC have super strong abilities that have a drawback. Ayato is completely OP but the seal on his powers put there by his sister limits them by time and afterwards he passes out. Ikki has low magical abilities but has trained himself to be able to unlock his physical limiter and be super fast and powerful... Itto Shura I believe he calls it. After its over (only a minute or two does it last) he also falls knocked out by the physical strain on his body. 

I intend to continue with these 2 shows til the end and if anything else that seems eerily familiar show up I'll come back and edit this post.
