Tokyo Ghoul

Although different by genres (horror/ecchi), both are about a loser guy who finally gets a date only to find out he was betrayed and his chosen one was actually supernatural being (ghoul/demon) and is trying to kill him. He gets saved only to became one of her kind. Thanks to becoming ghoul/demon he meets another girl(s).
Well - Tokyo Ghoul is a completely different genre (not an ecchi!) however, hear me out:
Similarities: They both start with gore. The protagonist is a normal kid, he's hopeless with girls, he gets a date with a girl who's out of his league (as his friend says), (won't include the spoilers) but, things happen on that date that change the protagonist's life.
Dissimilarities: The difference in genre - Tokyo Ghoul is more intense and does not have fan service like DxD. The music style is more atmospheric in Tokyo Ghoul and supports the chilling feel, whilst DxD maintains a light-hearted tone. Tokyo Ghoul censors
