That's because there's a billion different parallels, although it's probably written better than Special A, sadly enough. Of course, re-watching any anime can bring you to realize it wasn't as epic as it was the first time around >.>''
Special A : Super awesome people academically and physically, person from a not-so-well-to-do-family beating the odds, somehow even super awesome-r guy comes to save girl DIFFERENCE: Group of people involved in Special A..
Kaichou wa Maid-sama: Super awesome people academically and physically, person from a not-so-well-to-do-family beating the odds, somehow even super awesome-r guy comes to save girl DIFFERENCE: No others considered so advanced, minus the enemy creeper from the other school, the girl is a maid.
Special A's ending was really crappy, and from what I understand, there's almost no hope for a season 2.. currently there is none. Kaichou wa Maid-sama should get another season considering the manga is still going, but who knows considering Skip Beat! still has manga running and the anime was great but they have yet to continue the anime.... but that's irrelevant :3
Still adore Special A, but sometimes it can be a bit hard to watch after watching a bajillion different other anime and coming back to this one... I'm not entirely sure why. However the first go-around it's addicting to watch :3
