Both involve protagonists that are undead and slay other undead in order to liberate themselves from their undeath.
Zombies that hunt zombies, do I need to say what else they have in common? How about blood, gore, fight scenes and horror? Two different takes on the same theme.
Both have undead main characters who fight against other undead, though Zombie Loan has two guys instead of a girl.
They've both got characters that come back from the dead and have to kill the undead and have to kill a certain amount to accomplish their goals though Shikabane Hime Aka's is a set amount to kill. Both have some pretty cool artwork for their bad guys and cool fight scenes. They've both got some rather funny things happening in them and like damn near every other anime out there the main characters are of highschool age.
they r both about like corpse and stuff like that

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."
Very similar in the fighting styles. Both women have something in common even though one is a vampire creature and the other is a dead killer they are fighting for the common good. There is a level of mystery in both and they are both actually very decent anime.

Both stories have a butt-kicking superpowered female lead. In addition, death is also a common theme in both these stories.
Similar plot and background, a girl with super power suddenly appare into this boys life and for whatever reason they sign a contract together and fight against......bad guys
Both series has some kind of romance in it and on top of that the action is awesome
both are pretty violent, and about a girl who makes some sort of contract with a man, with intense hand to hand combat

Similar storyline about the hunting of evil spirits and corpses that brings about death and decay to the land.
The female lead in Shikabane is very similar to Yomi in Ga-Rei Zero, both in personality and skill.
Both are tragic anime about slaying demons.
Both series are about exorcists fighting various demons and unnatural beings.

Shares the same dark feeling as Shikabane Hime and is just plain amazing for a new series.
It's not explicitly similar in a "Both MC's have blue hair and travel through time" way. But I think it's similar in the creature's designs, the fights, and the environment it gives off. Although I think Shikabane has higher quality versions of all 3 and most would like it more than 11 eyes.

Shikabane is almost like a darker Sankarea. The female character is even a dark version of the main female character in Sankarea. They're both daughters of wealthy families, they are both zombies, they both get close to the male the spend time with.
After being killed, both series involves the main character being bought back to life with a second chance although in undead fashion. Corpse Princess seems to be a bit more serious with a direct storyline while Sankarea is a bit more lighthearted with comedy. Expect drama, romance, and fantasy in both of these series.

Both Vampire Princess Miyu and Shikabane Hime have strong, confident, grim supernatural combat heroines.
Both have main characters who fight their own race and destory them.

Supernatural killings bring about both stories born from suffering, or threat of a family member. Introduction of the characters from then on stem from the supernatural occurrence.
Both are based on the supernatural world. When I first saw the title and description I thought this might be a pretty good anime. Come to find out it is an excellent one.There are to parts to this series Aka first then Kuro. Both are 12 episodes long making for a total of 24 episode series. The one thing I will mention is you'll be kind of left wondering if the end is the end. It is very unclear to say the least, but otherwise an excellent anime I would reccomend.

Both of the series contain many buxom girls having bloody fights with undead monster while their clothing is getting ripped apart.
Both Shikabane Hime and HotD revolve around one main theme - killing undead zombies. Action-oriented.
|
|
|
they both have the same horror-ish feel and somewhat similar plots
A spooky atmosphere, buddhist culture, zombies, action. Worth checking out if you liked the other.

There are many things alike in these, the fighting girls. The boy who always appears when she is fighting and he is not meant to know about it. The contract between the fighter and their "owner". Overall this anime reminded me a LOT of shana.
♫both revolve around a teenage boy discovering a new world where there are monster (corpses in Shikabane Hime/crimson denizens or tomogara in Shakugan no Shana) and people who's job is to kill them (shikabane hime/flame haze)♫
♫the girls are considered as objects in both series except by the male protagonist who sees the girls as regular people and treats them as such♫
♫both have cute girls with very strong wills that helps them to kill and the boy is protected by these girls♫
♫both of the teenage boy is drawn into a new world unexpectedly♫
♫there is mystery behind the girl's past and there is something enigmatic about the male protagonist♫
♫Shikabane Hime is much darker, whilst Shakugan no Shana focuses more on a daily-life routine than Shikabane Hime♫

Although a much darker story, and a smaller family, the stories both have a close bond to family. The male protagonist(s) are very similar in personality, and both have unique abilities that help them later in the story.

In Fate/Stay Night, powerful familiars called Servants fight alongside their contracted Masters to have their wishes fulfilled by the Holy Grail. The Masters provide mana to the Servants so they can exist in the world. In Shikabane Hime, powerful undead corpses called Shikabane Himes fight alongside their Contracted Priests to have their wish of going to heaven fulfilled. The Contracted Priests provide "Run" energy to the Shikabane Himes so they can exist in human form.
If that weren't enough, Emiya Shirou of Fate/Stay Night and Oori Kagam of Shikabane Himei are both recklessly brave protagonists, risking their lives again and again to protect the people they hold dear.

both main characters make contracts with demons, well in shikabane hime:aka are corpses, the character plot and story are brilliant and yet very similar, both animes share the same dark feeling while in shikabane hime:aka the main character is looking for revenge, both contractors and the demons/corpses share a really strong bond that gives both animes the same feeling, there is a church in both animes pulling all the strings, both animes are action pack with funny moments and very sad moments, in my opinion i think Shikabane Hime: Aka is more dramatic, but in the end both animes are worth watching.

Both have a female lead that is a monster of some sort or different from the living. Both involve religious sects trying to deal with them. Both have a male lead that trusts the female which leads to them being suspect or ostracized. Both overall have really dark atmospheres and scenes and gore. Kemonozume is more on the extreme but both will sometime leave you shocked. Both have female supporting characters that were in love with the male lead but later suffered because of it. Both rely on the past history of the characters to drive the story forward. Animation in both leaned towards dark gloomy colors. Both have 2 philosophies that were in conflict with each other and both have somewhat happy endings/positive future.

Both have leading characters killing their own species to bring peace. Although 'Nightwalker' revolves around Vampires, the storyline's are still very similar. Also, both have an innocent character dragged into the heat of the story through their love of another character.

I think Shikabane Hime and Blood-c are very similar. Both have a "Unusal" female lead,lots of blood, twists and dark endings
|
|
|
In both u can find: gun action, undead, gore (though its much heavier in hellsing) and chicks killing undead with guns
|
|
|
Both Anime is about Human coming back alive from the dead but their are a lot of different in the two beside that but I do recommend both
|
|
|
Both are about girls that have guns and they both have a man with them that tells them what to do like a handler/monk. And their handler/monk can treat them however they like, a good friend, or just a piece of garbage. Although GS is more realistic.

Corpse Princess is basically the horror version of Birdy. You've got a butt-kicking, scantily clad headstrong female lead who works with a powerful but mysterious group who are working against malicious forces, who gets involved a somewhat boring normal teenage male protagonist with annoying friends. But hey, the action scenes are awesome.
|

|
Similarities in the plot of both shows. A secret religious organization that few know about that deal with the dead returning as something else. All while keeping it a secret from thew general public.
This religious organization training men and women to fight these creatures that have returned to "life" while using weapons from a similar origin to the creatures they intend to destroy.

They're both horrors that both have relations with living life more than once, and they both have their funny moments too that softens the horror a little bit.
|
|

Both feature main female heroines with supernatural powers who fight enemies that are somehow related to the source of their own powers.
Both have a regular male companion to their adventures.
Both have a dense and dark feel to it.
Art is similar.

Both anime are directed by Gilgamesh's Masahiko Murata, and thus share the dark-shonen genre, with Jinki:Extend being more mecha-oriented. They also share a lot of themes, the same script structure and have the same kinds of characters. While obviously not being exempt of defaults, I would say that both series are heavily underrated and if you can overlook their over the top plot as well as sloppy artistry and animation, you're in for two surprisingly enjoyable shows.

Both have female characters who do a lot of fighting, although otherwise they're pretty different. In Murder Princess unlike Shikabane Hime, she's the lead. If you're a girl watching this show just because it's nice having a strong female lead, you'll like Murder Princess, where the character's also a bit more interesting and colorful.

Both anime have strong willed supernatural characters that has to rid the world of their own kind (in Claymore, its demons rather then undeads). Both feature the main characters "employed" by a larger organization and both has respective handlers for each fighter.
|
|
|
Both of them are the same too, where both of the main characters are undead and they involve killing their own race/other.
|
|
|
The music and soundtracks are nearly identical, which is no surprise since both series' OPs and EDs are songs by Angela. Shikabane Hime deals with corpses and dying, where Asura Cryin' has a "ghost" as a main character.
|
|
|
Hellsing can be considered a bit more violent and gruesome, but it has the same concept with the "living" undead, vampires, and the fact that both of the main characters fight and destroy their own race.
|
|
|
Both have a similar brand of frantic, kinetic action and reveal in a certain level of absurdity and humor.
|
|
|
Female making contracts to gain more power, As for Alice and oz fighting side by side to regain Alice memories and Oz sins while for Makina and Ouri fighting side by side for revenge and humanity sake. Both of the Anime has light and dark sides, fighting scenes,missions for own sakes etc..

If your into the art style of FLCL then you may like another Gainax series; Shikabane Hime. You'll notice immediately the similarities in style.
