Very stylized action sequences. Both are samurai themed. Each has a very serious samurai as well as a more laid back, energetic samurai.
Both of these have high level samurais shed alot of blood, also the animes contain blood, violence and a sex scene.
If you like detailed action sequences, intense swordplay, an alternate setting of feudal Japan and hip hop samurai, definitely give this one a try. Afro Samurai is shorter, more graphic, and may have darker tones than Samurai Champloo, both are very entertaining if you like less historically-inclined samurai anime.
They both have a unique hip-hop flair that, somehow, coincides with the samurai theme. They also both contain amalgamation of the past and present (like monks with rocket launchers, beat-boxing peasants). It's a weird little niche that both of these titles somehow fell into, and we haven't really seen anything like them before or after.
Afro samurai is more like a mixture of samurai champloo and samurai Jack, with a darker tone.They both offer a completely different take on the samurai genre as well as the action. Afro's action is a lot more exaggerated while samurai champloo's goes for more realistic sword fights. They're Recommended to anyone looking for some great samurai action
Sword Fighting and plaine awsomeness

They both have samurai fighting each other. And the gore seems to be equall in both camps. Shigurui is a bit slower but it does have over 200% more episodes than Afro Samurai
Afro Samurai and Shigurui are both about Samurai obtaining revenge. Both are gritty and violent, though Shigurui is more explicit. The two animes both have animation with strong contrasts between light and shadows. Also, both don't seem to be finished yet.

Ninja scroll and afro samurai are similar in terms of the bloodshed.. and samurai swording.
Moar ninjas is always a good thing.

another great ninja/samurai full of action anime
Ninja Scroll is a classic among anime movies, and has an interesting plot and series of twists that makes it fresh even today. References within the movie itself stay obscure, and it has this subtle flair about it that reminds me of Afro Samurai (or rather, Afro Samurai reminded me of this). They both complement each other to fans, while still being exotically unique and fresh in their own right.

Both have intense, brilliantly choreographed, and lavishly animated swordfights and stories that explore themes such as vengeance and the morality of killing. In stark contrast to RuroKen's quiet, contemplative and sentimental tone, however, Afro Samurai is rife with energy, black comedy (in more ways than one), and an overall pop-culture vibe. Where RuroKen's story and presentation can be described as "beautiful", Afro Samurai's would be more accurately described as "badass".

They both have good plots and decent endings, the main characters also have something in common in that they both have a painful/sad past. There is quite a difference between the shows at the start (Trigun having comedy) but as they progress you should notice the similarities. All in all, these are some decent show's which shouldn't be over-looked in the slightest.

They both have awesome sword fights and are GAR
In fact, Afro Samurai is even better since it has a normal plot line and a black dude as the main character.

Afro and Hellsing both have great action and lots of blood/gore and not to mention beautiful artwork. While Afro Samurai is a pretty good action anime, Hellsing Ultimate has a much better storyline.

Both are short with a lot action, blood and interesting artwork.
|

|
If you love fighting, cyborgs, profanity, and an amply-bosomed young woman in the storyline, these'll both do just fine.

Highest level of action possible...

Same samurai and ninja stuff but Basilisk got more story than Afro Samurai which is pure action

Afro Samurai too is about a story of revenge. They are both pretty violent but Highlander lacks the intensity of the swordfights and can't get even close to the eye-catching style Afro Samurai got. Both shows are originally dubbed in English but while AFs voice acting is convincing and well done Highlanders sounds dull and artificial.
