Well, the main storyline is more or less different, but the way the characters are drawn very similarly, as well as action scenes and blood. Also Blood+ is a dark anime and so is Claymore, so it would be good for those who like/love dark anime (sorry for stating the obvious....) Anyway both of them have very deep storylines so I thought that people who like Blood+ would like this, because I think of Claymore when I think of Blood+.
Blood+ has some similar elements to Claymore, such as the relationship between a helpless "brother"/"sister" and a cold-blooded killer of the opposite gender, that greatly sways either person's actions during the course of the show. In a sense , it's partially Claymore in reverse, here the purebreds go after the half breeds, but what matches these two up the most would be the high level of action, gore and dark mood that stays overcast most of the time. You'll probably understand once you start watching it.
the girl w/ the blood of the monster their killing, sounds familliar is it?
These two series have so many similarities that each of them can be considered an "alternate" version of the other... They're both top-notch anime series, so I'd say watch them both and witness the similarities for yourself
it has fighting scenes, protecting someone, fighting monsters, and others things you like in them:)
Girl as the protagonist who fight bunch of monsters.
they both portray women who fight abominations that live off human flesh or blood warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! violent anime but cool ha ha
love the action shows women who can kick ass!^^
both bloody anime and both main char of the story weilds a sword. basicly the same... saya vs chiopterans ... and clare vs Yoma's but claymore has more blood sheds and more violence compared to blood+
Hot kick-ass girls with big swords chopping up monsters!!!
Both feature girls/women who has a hack-n'-slash fest, killing monsters with their swords.
It has monsters and killing/blood as well.
Both series are full of blood and female characters that are very skilled with sharp metal objects ;)
Blood+ and Claymore have something in common, and that is both are killing off monsters. They are both dark and gory. Blood+ has a longer story than Claymore but nonetheless they are still jampacked with blood spilling monster slashing scenes.
Monsters fighting monsters. Sword wielding female protagonist fighting very bloody battles against the grotesque as she tries to discover herself and protect what's important to her. Lots of blood, dismemberment and decapitations, mixed in with some camaraderie and family bonds.
Action packed, gory, strong female lead characters, and story driven. Both use swords and are related to mythical beasts.
"OMGZ THEY ARE BOTH GIRLS WHO ARE NOT FULLY HUMAN AND BOTH HAVE SWORDS AND KICK THE SHIT OUT OF MONSTERS OMG RUN ON SENTENCES NO PUNCTUATION!"
- Almost every 16 year old with a keyboard in America.
However, there's some truth to the above statement but I'd like to get into Blood+. If you really liked Blood+ and thought the story was riveting, loved the gore and the fight scenes, and loved Saya as a bad ass monster killing female main character, then you'll absolutely LOVE Claymore. Now, what I said about Blood+ is giving it a little too much credit. Don't get me wrong, I liked the show, but I just felt that Saya didn't take charge enough for me(at least till the end) and I cringed at a lot of the dialog. There was also just way many too cliche moments and typical "feel good story" music during the first half of the series. It's at least underwhelming for an anime with an R rating.
Claymore's R rating on the other hand is well deserved. It is WAY more violent and bloody than Blood+ and the langue is a lot more coarse as well. Claire and Saya both come into their own a bit midway into the shows but Claire has a lot more depth to her in my opinon and is a lot more entertaining. Both girls are trying to rid the world of monsters, even though they are both types of monsters themselves.
All and all, If you liked Blood+ and don't mind a shorter series with more violence and swearing, then chances are you'll love Claymore. If you watched Claymore first and are expecting a lot from Blood+, chances are you'll be let down a bit, but will still enjoy the series.

Both relate to a quest to defeat blood-sucking beings (Vampires) in order to make of the world a better place for everyone.
kind like not hellsing but with different type off vampires and equally great story
Well because this also has loads of fights like Blood+ and its bloody too!! The reason for the fights is same in these animes!!
Both are abut vampires trinity blood is more serious and the drawings are better while blood+ is entertaining but the plot isnt too good and somewhat similar to elfen lied.
Action, blood, a fight for a better and safer world, and of course, vampires galore!
There's a lot of action, blood sucking creatures, and some romance on the side. Something everyone loves!
If ur a fan of bloody animes and vampire like beings than WATCH both Trinity Blood & Blood+.
They're both action anime with vampires.
The main character in both stories is vampire,they fight their own kin to safe human race from doom.they belief that human and vampire can live together in harmony but some vampire think human is just only food to consume.
They Both are vampire type show , and I think they Are Very great show to watch

Blood+ and Elfen Lied deal with the definition of what it means to be human and humane. In both cases, a super-evolved species represented by an apparently frail female lead, presents a menace to mankind. Yet humanity is to be blamed for much of the violence that follows. While EL is occasionally borderline ecchi and Blood+ maintains a very serious tone through and through, both series are emotionally-moving exercises that allow emotional bonds to be forged, despite the deeply violent world-scape they present.
well their both horror and have lots of blood in them....their story seems to differ but im sure if you like one of them you'll like the other one to < 3
Blood +, like Elsfen Leid, has alot of blood (look at the name XD).
they has similar subjects like supernatural, Sci-Fi, the undead cretures and more...
those two also has a similiar endings, they both ends with many things unfinished.
Both have lots of blood, fights, and violence.
In both anime, the main character is a girl who literally becomes another person when killing, even though Saya, on the opposite of Lucy, has not exactly a split personality.
Both are dramatic and sad, prepare the tissues.
Also, the story of the Schiffs , created by humans, used as killing machines, and then getting eliminated because too troublesome, really reminds of the Diclonius.
Both are absolutely worth watching.
Girl protagonists who kill a lot and spill a lot of blood. Both are poignant and moving throughout, with deep emotional struggles and bonds all over the place. Both have mutated human beings who take the role of bad guys pose a threat to humankind as a whole.
These shows teach lessons without you knowing it. You learn to love one that may not be like others. These shows are amazing, but not for all eyes to see.
Bloody, Dramatic, Just Like Elfen Lied.
And Pretty Disturbing.
Just Like Elfen Lied...
-.-
The story line is fairly similar; both main characters have a kind of split personality and powers that awaken due to a series of events where they learn about themselves and secret organisations going on around them.
The main character in both of these animes are Female. Both of which are extremely violent and gory. In other words, at one point of their lives they could be considered 'killing machines' for their actions.
Both also have a double sided personality. The one that people adore and the other, which is blood craving.
Anyhow- there's a lot of action and fighting scenes! There's also a bit of romance here and there. If you liked Blood Plus, you're almost guaranteed to enjoy watching Elfen Lied.

it is a vampire anime in a way but a similarity is that the main character wants to be as normal as possible.............can't say much or it might ruin the surprise.
Romance, vampires, and lost memories for the female protagonist, who ends up having a more important role than first glance.
they both are about vampires basicly
In both there is vampire or many of them.
Both share a similar female/male lead that must dance around the concept of immortality and vampirism in their exploration of each others' feelings.
Besdies the obvious association of creatures needing blood to survive, Blood+ and Vampire Knight also both follow the plot of self-sacrifice to protect those you love.
Fully recommend you watch Vampire Knight...touching.
Both have to do with Vampires. Main character is a female. There's a bit of romance in Blood + , but not as much as Vampire Knight. Main character doesn't remember their past in the first few episodes. -Turning others into Vampires :]

Check out blood + if you enjoyed black blood brothers. Both revolve around fights and vampires.
Do you like the dark vampire anime series like Blood+? Then you should definitely try Black Blood Brothers. The brothers are just like Saya, and it is worth watching.
Both Vampires and both kick ass and take names!
AMAZING. that is pretty much all there is to say about this it is my FAVOURITIEST anime of all time the charachters are amazing the artwork is 9/10 but eyerthing else 16/10

Both are about a quest to destroy vampires, by using vampires
And they both have the same kind of dark feeling to it.
If you love vampire anime, this won't disappoint you :)
Vampires in modern age... done as such that oozes style.
Both are about powerful vampires cooperating with organizations that specialize in killing vampires. The main antagonists are also engaged in mass producing vampires and are part of powerful vampire organizations.

the love triangle between Haji, Saya and Kai reminds me a lot of the love triangle between Touya, Aya and Yuuhi. And I hate the final pairing in both anime
Violence, drama and love. Emotionally deep female leads.
Similar sort of framework (female lead, special powers, hopes to help others from an evil she indirectly causes because of her lineage), but I preferred Blood+ on almost every front to Ayashi.
In both anime the main characters are twins (Diva & Saya/Aya & Aki).
Aya=Saya. Apart from having almost the same name, both are average schoolgirls who have a power within them and become another person when angered or in danger. Both are also pretty hesitant and annoying at times.
Toya=Haji. The emotionless, cold, non-human guy in love with the main girl, he's basically her bodyguard and lives only for her.
Yuuhi=Kai. The good guy, also in love with the main girl, but with no chance to succeed, he's loved in return by another girl.
In both you'll find love triangles, blood, gore, action, bishounen, romance, drama, scientists, doctors, experiments.
They have also a few more themes in common, such as memory loss, science, pregnancy, "incest", and family bounds.
Both can be considered reverse harem anime, Blood+ is just a zillion times better than Ayashi No Ceres.

Swords, monsters and blood!
Both the series have same things, but Blood+ is so much better! If you liked Tokko, you must see Blood+ (and Blood: The Last Vampire, related to it).
both invole hunting demon like creatures and tons of action. A great anime that has lots of blood and good fighting scenes.
they're both great anime which has lots of blood and violence. Also they have demons that they go around killing so that they could save the world.

Both are centered around an undead girl who fights other undead creatures. Both have a boy with a connection to the girl as their lead. Both have disappointing action scenes and kind of a cheesy aura of sadness hanging over the girl, with the boy sort of having this attitude of wanting to save her.
They look really alike because in the two case there is a girl who isn't really human. The two of them also have to kill some strange monster and they have a boy without power who support them.
They're both alike with how both of the main characters are girls who have to destory/fight monsters; also, both of the monsters in them are like vampires too. Ouri and Kai are the same really, bystanders who get casted off to the side because they're "useless", per say. I found that while watching Shikabane Hime: Aka, it had some rather simliar aspects to Blood+, with the vampire(-like) concept and the fact of the "living dead."

Both Persona Trinity Soul and Blood+ share several key staff members and both shows feature the same kind of atmosphere as well as emphasis on familial themes and relationships. If you like Persona TS, you will more than likely enjoy Blood+ as well.
similar exciting action with intriguing story. Supernatural & similiar style of animation
|
|
|
A continuation of Blood: The Last Vampire and Saya's story. Greatly reccomended!
Animation by Prodcution I.G., vampires, Mamoru Oshii is a supervisor, and Saya's the lead, too. In fact, Blood: The Last Vampire can be considered a prequel to Blood+.

Lelouch is britannian and he doesnt like the way his father(the emperor of britannia) talks about how the strong shall crush the weak. So he started a rebellion.
Saya is a chiroptera(kinda vampire), and she thinks that Chiroptera are decimating humans, so she joins Aka Tate to fight against her own kin.
Immortality, war, power and betrayals - both series have that, though CG is much deeper and has much better character developments.
|
|
|
Dark atmosphere, a girl that is "special" fighting against her own kind...hunting her own kind. The dark, silent male as a love interest and a mysterious past. Drama, blood, people dying. Story goes deeper than at first looks, and furher in history...this especially for Blood+
They both have to deal with in a way vampires when you think about it cause what saya is fighting in Blood + is in fact a vampire when you start to think about the fact they need blood to live
|

D.Gray Man has many similarities, such as an order who kills monsters, unique weapons and so on.
Both are action series with a darker tone to them, and both focus more on characters and are more character-driven than what normal action series tend to do

If you like fullmetal alchemist then I promise u will get stuck through every episode of this anime. Just like fullmetal alchemist, characters are well developed and there are no fillers. In fma we have Chimeras and in blood+ Chiropterans. Chiropterans are undead monster with the ability to disguise themselves as human. They live by feeding on peoples' blood. There is a secret organization called the Red Shield that exists to hunt down the Chiropterans.
[or vice-versa] Both animes deal with a little bit of a "gore" theme and center between teens who have abilities/characteristics unique from others. Both series also imply the importance of family, acquaintances, and life xD (the main characters of each series have their family the antagonist! kewl)

Tall dark mysterious supernatural males partnered with high school female. That's pretty much where the similarities end though...Neuro is nothing like Haji, considering that Haji is Saya's servant and Yako is Neuro's slave...lol

Similar in telling a story that ends up on a much larger scale than it started! World and existential issues caught up in a coming-of-age type story. Both have lots of relatively complex minor characters. And both are frequently funny, while also tackling some deep stuff!
|
|
|
amazing story and characters's personality complexity
|
|
|
both have characters who are connected to each other by shared events and forget their past,however;advancing in the series, all of them get to remember their lost memories.
|
|
|
Girls who fight monsters for organizations. Pretty similar...
|
|
|
Both have the same violence level with a lot of mutilation, murder and blood, but without nudity. The graphs from are both very similar and very elaborated.
|
|
|
Chevalier is a similarly dark storyline of vampires and the havoc they cause our loved ones. Different time (takes place in baroque Versailles instead of the modern day and victorian period) but the components are pretty much the same.
|
|
|
Both shows feature protagonists who live normal high school lives, but are soon dragged into large, action-packed adventures.
|
|
|
Most of these anime's elements are the same. The only differences are mainly the time, country, and weapons used. These Anime both are about demonic outbreaks that only need to be resolved by te main character who has mastered the power to controll the demonic side of him/her.
|
|
|
Both have that monstrocity element to it, such as people infected and turning into beasts. The animation is stunning, and the characters are believable. Very highly reccomeneded. This is one of my favorite animes.
|
|
|
Mystical girl with amnesia is found by her immortal guardian servant (who also happens to be a love interest).
|
|
|
Main character is a girl who wounds up in a bad situation she didnt cause. She was chosen (by fate/lineage/blood...) to do something big.
|
|
|
Both sword fighting animes :P
Def both worth watching
|
|
|
Both are related to hell beings
|
|
|
Both anime show the value of family despite not being related by blood. HTe characters are 'siblings' that care deeply for each other.
|
|
|
The story's almost same even though Devil May Cry is a bit strange and Blood+ is cool with a lot more action!!!
|
|
|
they are the same..! the girls are fighting their destiny with the guy, (friend.,chevalier.knight.watever!) who's ready to protect them and do what the girl wisHes..
|
|
|
Both use the idea of superhumans and experients connected to greedy corperate rich guys trying to take over the world (long sentence, I know). Both mains have huge responsabilitys with trying to protect their loved ones.
|
|
|
If you were dissapointed by Blood+ like I was comparing it to the preview and what I expected, you should really try Ergo Proxy. It has many things that Blood+ would never have, although if you would here the story for both of them, you could barely differentiate them, and I'm talking about the atmosphere here. Ergo has the truly dark sceneries, ravages and atmosphere that you'd expect in Blood+, the conspiracy level is way higher and a lot less stereotipical and the difference of levels to what basicly exists in both would continue.
|
|
|
Both involve girls running around with gigantic sharp objects, cutting stuff up. Must I say more?
