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+ 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.
Both relate to a quest to defeat blood-sucking beings (Vampires) in order to make of the world a better place for everyone.

Romance, vampires, and lost memories for the female protagonist, who ends up having a more important role than first glance.
Check out blood + if you enjoyed black blood brothers. Both revolve around fights and vampires.
Violence, drama and love. Emotionally deep female leads.
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).

If you love vampire anime, this won't disappoint you :)
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.
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.
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 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
Girl with a Sword fighting off evil monster that attack humankind, struggling with the truth and loved ones around her. In my eyes its almost exactly like Ga-Rei: Zero. You could almost call them sisters.

Many people have the same character in particular is very similar to the relationship hagixsaja- sebastianxciel
bleach and blood plus r the same because:
1. bolth have lots of blood and violence
2.bolth have bad creatures(blood+ creepy monsters, bleach hollows)
3.lots of sword play
i hope u check them out.thank you.
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.
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.
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+
The two stories share a plot that revolves around a strong, young girl set on a mission to fight using her supernatural abilities.
Both anime are about killing bloodsucking monsters to keep the world safe from those evil creatures. Both anime got the regularly dose of action, violence and bloodshed. Hellsing has more action while Blood+ has more drama. So if you like those vampire based action anime, I'd say watch this.
♫same genres (Action, Drama, Mystery)♫

♫both of these anime have dark and supernatural themes♫
♫both these anime have fantastic action packed fighting scenes, and plenty of different mysteries to solve♫

♫anyone who has seen the either Darker than BLACK - Kuro no Keiyakusha or Blood+ would love the other♫
The overall theme of the two might be different, but there's something about them that makes 'em similar. In a way, Saya and Shiki are alike. If you enjoyed the bloody battles and the deep storyline of Blood+, I'm sure you'll find the same feeling here.
Both animes have a character shrouded in mystery and both of them have another character who loves them whole heatedly in one way or another. The plot is surprisingly similar in many ways. However these similarities aren't felt until the end of the series. If i would compare these two, I'd say these two animes both contain the same plot while one took the dark and mysterious approach the other one took a more childish and lighthearted approach. At the end of the day, both contain the same deep meaning and may leave you with many hours to reflect on them.
Both are Production IG series that belong to the mystery, supernatural, horror genre.
Blood+ is longer, yet more exciting than Le Chevalier D'Eon, but if you liked one, try the other too.

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..
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.
The story's almost same even though Devil May Cry is a bit strange and Blood+ is cool with a lot more action!!!

They both have a "girl with sword" main character. And there's magic and love triangles too!
They are both thrillers. There's investigative action in both of them. They both have a handsome blond bad guy with a gentle voice. The bad guys in both animes are very wealthy. Both animes have monsters. They are both very addictive and the stories are very different, but they are both really great animes.
Both shows feature protagonists who live normal high school lives, but are soon dragged into large, action-packed adventures.
Both have dark atmospheres at times. Mostly sword fights with lots of action. Also a bit of drama in both anime's.
♫same genres (Action, Supernatural)♫

♫both Blood+ and Chrno Crusade have as main protagonist a female character and a protective male character♫
♫both of them have a deep and well defined drama aspect and both female protagonists at the begining don't know who they really are♫

♫i'm sure that if you liked one of this two you will definitely like the other one♫
♫same genres (Action, Drama, Supernatural)♫

♫schoolgirls wielding deadly weapons only they can master; this is the basis for both stories, with the story unfolding their fate, as well as the destiny of those that care for them♫
♫Blood+ is dark and gory, while Busou Renkin offers mild humor and comical relief, but the difference in feeling is just a bonus in originality, and any fan of one should welcome the slight change in perspective♫
Both anime have vampire- (like) creatures, blood + doesnt have much comedy and it is definetly more serious. if you like VKG, then you'll like blood +!
They both heavily involve supernatural elements (Exorcist = demons; Blood+ = vampires) and a main character who is darkly connected to those very forces that he/she fights. Both series are quite fast-paced and exciting, and the first episode or two of either should suffice to draw you in.
Both involve demons and protecting, also lost memories and a lot of action.
If you are into the blood, darkness, a little bit of spooky horror not to mention brilliant plot!
Focusing Saya normal high-school girl who live his life at Okinawa island, but it all has started to change when bomber fly over the school.. Strange momeries of the past then incident at school and mysterious man saves her from lollipop!

Noo spoilers here!! ;)

Amazing storyline going thru 50 episodes and the ending is perfect the mighty finale what have been twisting and thightening 48 revial to the truth and to the future.

Canaan and blood+ both focus on two girls (Canaan+Alphard/Saya+Diva) who came from the same origin but live to hunt down one another. Both Canaan and Saya fight not only for revenge, but to protect the people they love. Like Diva's group who creates Delta 67, Alphard's group creates the Ua virus, both which pose a threat to humanity. The stories each focus also on a journalist who happens to witness events they shouldn't have, getting themselves involved in the action... and a partner to the journalist who has an emotional attachment to a characters fighting the antagonists (Maria+Canaan/Mao+Kai).
Both sword fighting animes :P Def both worth watching
Both are related to hell beings
Schoolgirl that killing monsters , blood
There are much more stronger similarities with Kuroshitsuji II than Kuroshitsuji because we can easily see a better comparisons (war among chevaliers / butlers):
Saya = Ciel
Haji = Sebastian

Diva = Alois
Diva's Chevaliers = Claude and the others Alois's servants
Well, the resemblence is absolutely obvious: schoolgirls as main characters, both Saya and Utena are top-notch fencers, lots of sword-fighting, repulsive "noble" men characters.

Nonetheless, there are some dufferences.
Firstly, B+ has very little humour, actually, no humour at all. Whereas RGU is not that mournful and is full of jokes (there is even a small annoying mascot). Sometimes jokes in RGU are used in the most serious and crucial moments to show, how odd duelists' pomposity is.

Secondly, B+'s animation is of a better quality than RGU's (in RGU there are >1minute animation sequences steadily repeated in every episode). Although there is a sword fight in almost every episode, RGU is not an action anime as B+ (by the way fights in RGU are rather poor and can't be compared to B+'s ones), it's more likely a drama.
No doubt there is drama in B+: two sisters, trying to kill each other is rather serious a drama. But drama in B+ is just a background for action, and in RGU it's quite the opposite thing.

So, if you are not keen of excessive symbolism and adolescence mental problems, you'd better not watch RGU, because it consisits of symbolism and teenager psychology. If you want more monsters bisected with a katana, go watch something else, RGU won't satisfy you.

As for the characters, they're completely similar as far as their personality is concerned. Both Utena and Saya want to protect their friends and wish they could live happily without fighting. Chevaliers and duelists are alike: although they appear to be noble and physically strong, they turn out to be wicked people, obsessed by their desires.

Ultimately, these series have a lot in common, but that doesn't mean, that you like B+ and you'll definetely like RGU. If you are not bored to death by soul-searching animes, go watch RGU. Or go watch B+ (if you have already watched RGU). I guarantee you won't regret it.
Mystical girl with amnesia is found by her immortal guardian servant (who also happens to be a love interest).
Both involve girls running around with gigantic sharp objects, cutting stuff up. Must I say more?
2 things come to my mind if i compare these 2 anime:
Blood and action
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
A Story About a Pure Evil Queen of All Vampires and a Pure Good Werwolf Knight wich is sick in a disease called "Love"

Blood + is Also a Story about Love and problems.
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.
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!
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 anime show the value of family despite not being related by blood. HTe characters are 'siblings' that care deeply for each other.
amazing story and characters's personality complexity
In both series the main characters are typical school girls that after some extrange events, are forced to fight against human like monsters.

Also at first the plot seems obvious and clear, but as the plot goes on, the history keeps getting more twisted and confusing.
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.
The main protagonist and antagonist are connected by the past. The interaction between the two are similar in both series. The fate of humans is up for debate.

The main plot lines are kind of similar, and the stories fill out as a tragic history is slowly revealed.

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.
The plot is probably different, but there is one theme - vampires. To be honest it seemed similar to me when Natsuno accepted with the situation and decided to give his blood to Tohru by himself. As far as i know (i can make a mistake, sorry if i will) in Blood+ Haji did the same to Saya and also (i can be wrong with the characters again) Kai did to Irene. Situations are quite different, but when i was watching that moment in Shiki, i thought about Blood+
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.
