death-crazy samurais and loads of blood
Both are bloody, historical, clan to clan..The only difference is that Basilisks characters are mostly ninjas and Shigurui's are samurais..
Both very violent, and both involving ninjas/ancient Japan, Shigurui has less "magic factor" (ie the combat techniques) than Basilisk, but both shows have the same bloody style. They are both great shows.
Both involve great story elements

Both involve a feudal environment giving off a pretty classic samurai film atmosphere.
Both also show a lot of graphical violence/gore.
Both Anime concentrate on samurai's and their bizarre adventures. both have very strong and dominant lead characters, who find them selfs following a certain pattern in the way to their goal
This two shows have very graphic gore animation, and lots of bloody and amazing sword fights
Shigurui is probably a bit more hard to follow, but both shows are very good and unique
If you like action with some blood i recommend both

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.

As soon as Shigurui started I thought " whoa , this opening looks a LOT like Texhnoleze's opening " , and I turned out right .
Even though the animes take place at completely different times , they have a lot in common .
Both are very dark , bloody animes who are more suited for a mature audience , both are confusing at the start and being explained later on and both share a very smiliar animation .
They both carry a similar very slow paced dark and brooding atmosphere which seems to continuously grow as the show progresses. Both are depressive and are much focused on communication through the visuals, as well as using some non-standard animation, less cuts and more detail put into every scene, very beautiful art in both.
Though they have quite opposite settings.
Both have a very similar style of presentation since they're by the same director. They're slow paced, violent and intense. The settings are complete opposites but they're so similar. If you liked the style of one you'll enjoy the other as well.

Both are about Samurai. While Champloo is comical and Shigurui serious, they are both very good anime.
Another sword fighting anime

Samurai animes taking place in the same era. I think they're pretty similar because of the fights, the action freeze, it is really detailed and they attached a lot of importance in duels one vs one.
Both great marital arts of historical japan. If you like action watch both.

Both set in the samurai Edo period, with shigurui being more violent and Amatsuki more laid back
|

Both contain masive blood and killing. Killing and nudity are both extremly frequent in these animes, and, escpecially for Shigurui, not for the faint stomached. The only huge difference from Elfen Lied to Shigurui is that Shigurui actually contain some "hidden" sex scenes.

Both feature an extensively researched historical setting (though they are set in different historical periods) and capture the mood of some of the more contemplative, subtle and philosophical chanbara films. Both also feature intense, thrilling swordplay with a touch of gritty (and oftentimes grisly) realism, and dark, violent storylines that deconstruct in some ways the romanticism surrounding historical Japan in the time of the samurai. Shigurui goes much further in this regard, however; the themes of redemption and love present in Kenshin are nowhere to be found here, as Shigurui instead adopts an exceptionally bleak and cynical tone as it lends a more distinct "horror" atmosphere to its bone-chilling depictions of violence and depravity.

Both are made of darkness, violence, blood and guts

If you like violence , blood, gore but comes with martial art, this is one for you.
|

Both of these anime show brutal deaths and unnaturally skilled samurai.....
|
|
|
The art is pretty similar (maybe because of Madhouse's production). Both animes are historical and the action is full of violence, gore and blood.

Violent samurai stuff, Shigurui is really underrated do yourself a favor and watch it
|

Ayakashi and Shigurui are both cruel animes. However Ayakashi is about legends and Shigurui is about humans not about ghosts.Both animes include Samurai way of life and their women who suffer a lot.
