Both shows coincide in dealing with the supernatural, in Jigoku Shoujo, a hell entity who grants revenge, in Vampire Princess Miyu, a vampire that hunts demons. But the real similarities are found in the execution of episodes; in both series there are people that seek revenge, with bullying, murder and hate implicated. Mysterious girls take revenge for those people, by punishing their enemies, sending them to hell or simply slaying them. When the job is done, we get a moral lesson about life, love or death, and a feeling of bitterness is left at the end of each episode. While Jigoku Shoujo are different stories converging in revenge, and Vampire Princess Miyu has a lineal plot that involves similar themes (retribution and suffering in life), both are very similar when you look at the background of each episode. And also, the female protagonists are vigilante supernatural beings, with a mysterious beauty, black long hair, and creepy manner of judgment.

Both have fights, magic, and are dark, each participant uses an unique skill for fighting. Fate/Zero relies more on the summoning of heroic spirits and X in magic and inner abilities. However, both are similar in some plot points: both deal with the concept of changing the world for good (or bad), both are tragic, and a deep message unveils in each chapter. If you enjoyed the war between dragons from the earth and dragons from the heaven, the holy grail war will keep you on the edge of your sit. Also, the artstyle is gothic in both series.
