Both shows are inspired by Sherlock Holmes.
Both are really good murder mystery stories.
Both main characters think meticulously to solve the case.

Characters are dying and people dont know whom they can trust when trying to solve the case. Watch them for tension they give.

91 Days addpermalink

Both actions developed in the period 1890/1920. There is mistery in both but the end of kuroshitsuji OVA doesn't have the same feeling in the finale.

Both shows' start off as conventional murder mystery.

Baccano! addpermalink

Despite BOM being classified as an OVA and being only two episodes, if you enjoyed this part of the Kuroshitsuji series, and probably the rest of Kuroshitsuji, you'll probably enjoy Baccano! as well.
Similarities:
-Murder mystery setting 
-Various 'parties' that contribute to a bigger scheme
 *Kuroshitsuji: Demons, nobles, shinigami
 *Baccano!: Gangs, mafia, alchemists, criminals
-MC duo that bring the various events/plot together
-MCs with supernatural powers 
-Story about who you can/can't trust despite what they appear to be
