Immortal killers.... What more do I need to say?
Both feature immortal murders who kill without any objection.
Atmosphere gives the same gloomy feeling.. In both animes we can see an immortal guys with katanas.. xD
They both have an oldilsh feeling and they both have immortal fighters.

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

Series with repeated timeshifts that eventually land in recognizable but undeniably futuristic settings, lots of gore and stylized fighting, gratuitous sex, much ado about immortality, mildly creepy seperated soulmates, and a good deal of confusion.
Both have a similar feel to each other. They certainly have similarities in the fact that they both revolve around immortals, there's some nudity, and a lot of violence; but this is not what makes them alike, nor what contributes towards the recommendation. Both of these are excellent and interesting, giving you the feeling of not knowing what's going to happen next. If you have the chance definitely pick this one up if you liked Mnemosyne.

The atmosphere Kurozuka gives off reminds me of a darker Samurai Champloo. Both have samurai sword fights and the like.
|
|
|
Kurozuka moves from the distant past to the near future in the first couple of episodes while Mononoke doesn't shift into a more recognizable setting until the last storyline, but they both tell a historically-based supernatural story with a Noh/Kabuki-derived aesthetic and storytelling methodology with sound effects to match.

Somewhat confusing series about morally ambiguous ancient vampires in a more-or-less modern setting with a great deal of fighting, gore, and stylized violence.
|
|
|
Completely different plot-wise, but the foundation of the same studio, director, and lead actor give a kind of deja vu feel. Other factors like a handsome but morally-dubious protagonist, a similar aesthetic sense, an overall dark tone, frenetic pace, and clever but secretive and occasionally treacherous cast make it a sealed deal.

Pretty art, good sound, glorious action, and supernatural freaks that are the results of experiments. Oh, and did I mention poorly executed. Poorly executed to the point where these two titles just become eye and ear candy. Well eye and ear candy is all good at first but there is a serious flaw with it, it gets boring. Oh yes, I went there. Any ways, if you watch one you can expect a similar thing from the other.

Similar art style, characters, and story. Same production company: MADHOUSE.
(Judged Aoi Bungaku only by the first episode, may differ from future episodes)

futuristic atmosphere, plot twists.

Both are about an immortal samurai in the post-apocaliptic world. There is also a resistance leader whore girl in both.
|
|
|
Both series are pseudo-historical with a supernatural twist, augmented with elements of traditional Japanese theatre.
|
|
|
Both series are produced by Madhouse and that's why art is almost identical. Kurou bears a strong resemblance to Jubei because of his battling style and antagonists' designs are very much alike.

LOL!!! how come nobody has made this recommendation. Both are the blodiest animes I've ever seen. And the fight just doesn't stop. The blood goes on and on (Elfen Lied have some "sentimental" episodes as for Kurozuka) but god since the first episode of both of them I couldn't think about other thing than the gore and all the bloody stuff that happens since the first sequence of each of this masterpieces.

Both talking about immortality, how to get it and the failure that could happen for those who want it. The two main characters are a couple, that met each other in different centuries, and trying to stay together.
The same dark ambiance.
|
|
|
Both anime's feature fluid action with copious amounts of blood.
Kurozuka feels like Ninja scroll with vampires.
|
|
|
If you liked the out of order mystery/horror/fighting/supernatural awesomeness of Kurozuka you will love the Kara no Kyoukai movies.
|
|
|
Both animes have very oddly ordered tales of tragedy and misfortune with a mix of science fiction and love. Both have similarly strange endings.
|
|
|
Both very pretty vampire stories with a dark hero
|
|
|
Same-styled. Katanas, zombies and lack of plot. Both are epic.
|
|
|
Both give this mind-blowing effect that makes you say "I don't know what the hell is going on but I want more!"
