Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied main image

For Kouta and Yuka, finding the bloody naked young girl on the beach would change their lives forever, for better or for worse. Unable to speak or function as a normal human being, she is named Nyuu by the duo, and taken into their home in an effort to save her. But what neither teenager knows is that this innocent young girl is actually a killing machine -- an experiment gone terribly wrong -- and it is only a matter of time before the murderer in her awakens again...

Elfen Lied is bigger and better, it features lots of blood and a very similar main character. With both animation and story a grade higher then 3x3 eyes, but the same basics, i don't see any reason you won't like it.
himurakenshin
Very similar animes in several respects. Lead female (Powerful, non-human characters in each) have two personalities. One overly cute, the other serious or even evil. Their lives become entwined with those of an ordinary lead male and an ackward relationship develops. Both contain a quite a bit of blood. Animation style is one of the biggest differences. If you enjoyed the plot or character relations of one, I'd definitely recommend watching the other.

Pai also has a split personality, like Nyu, vascillating from innocent know-nothing to a cold-blooded serial killer.  The effect is quite chilling in both anime.

Kastrophee

In both Elfen Lied and 3x3 Eyes, an ordinary male protagonist is shoved into abnormal circumstances and thus tied into the life of an unusual girl with two personalities. There wouldn't be any story if love didn't sprout from this, nor the occasional humor, but the gore and violence definitely makes these not lighthearted. They both share a similar feel and are both excellent; you can not go wrong with either of these if you like this type of show. Though 3 x 3 Eyes doesn't have the ecchi qualities of Elfen Lied and has more horror elements.

Nocturnalgloria

The overall mood in each of these anime is dissimilar, but they share lead female characters that go from dangerous, and even evil, to sweet and completely innocent in a heartbeat. Both series are violent, Elfen Lied being much more so. Both anime develop a romantic relationship involving an ordinary boy and an extraordinary girl. 3x3 Eyes has a supernatural element that is absent in Elfen Lied's more realistic setting. The split personality of the main characters, and the problems they cause is the main reason to justify this recommendation.

Ran

Both 3x3 Eyes and Elfen Lied have a main female character with a double personality; she is either a cute and innocent teenager or a deadly and powerful creature who seeks to have a normal human life.

Cauvin

3 x 3 Eyes explores the innocent yet very powerful Pai in the same way that Elfen Lied does with Lucy. Both Lucy and Pai have two personalities, one being cute and innocent and the other being very powerful and ruthless.

chii

Both leads have 2 very different personalities. One is a pretty clueless fun loving girl. The other kills without remorse. Both anime have a lot of bloodshed. 3x3 eyes doesn't have any of the ecchiness that Elfen Lied does. If you liked one check out the other.

Vampire Princess Miyu TV

Vampire Princess Miyu TV main image

In the human world, there live demonic invaders named Shinma who prey upon the fragile souls of humans. The only hope for the humans is one of demonkind: Miyu, who is fated to destroy the Shinma and send them back to whence they came. Although half-human herself, as well as living amongst them as a typical high school student, she bears no compassion for those she saves, as well as condemns. Along with Larva, her subservient, Miyu sets out to destroy evil, one Shinma at a time.

Do you like demons and monsters? This is another great story of a girl trying to become a normal person. Miyu figths for the same thing as Pai did. She wants all demons to disappears. But will she really make it? check it out if you wanna know...
sublime
Both series sample a girls quest for humanity. Hoping to make their "demon side" dissapear they have to fight against demons if they want any chance at having a normal life. Both Vampire Princess and 3x3 Eyes are amazingly good animes, especially in terms of plot and characterisation.

Bastard!!

Bastard!! main image

The Four Lords of Havoc have one terrible goal – to awaken the god Anthrasax and recreate the world. To stop them, Yoko, a maiden of Metallicana, awakens the ancient wizard Dark Schneider from within a 14-year old boy by bestowing upon him her virgin kiss. The only problem now is that the most chaotic, lecherous wizard in history resides inside the body of an innocent child. Even worse, he’s determined that neither hydras nor minotaurs should stand between him and his dream to conquer everyone and take the women for himself… all of which is less than convenient when trying to save the world!

Both 3x3 Eyes and Bastard! are short OVAs where gore is the main theme. In 3x3 Eyes a magical race is the main feature while in Bastard! it's a wizard. Definitely very comparable series!
MalteseFalcon

Powerful being trapped in human bodies, Parvati IV from 3x3 Eyes and Dark Schneider from Bastard!! have some immediate similarities. Watch out when they break free, as charnage soon follows. Both short OVAs with plenty of action, if you enjoyed one, you should check out the other.

Hellsing

Hellsing main image

In present day England, a war is being fought. The average citizen does not notice, but vampires are running rampant among the populace, and it's up to the Hellsing organization to contain the bloodsucker threat, using even their own weapons against them. Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he “recruits” a new agent to the establishment...

Though 3x3 Eyes bases more on gore than horror, Hellsing still holds some connections with it. The supernatural is a theme in both of the series. From Hellsing, expect less gore, more action.
chii

In both Hellsing and 3x3 Eyes the 2nd main character is killed and brought back to life by his/her new masters. From there he/she must figure out themselves and how to fight with this new power he/she has been given. Both have great storylines, and lots of action and blood.

Blue Seed

Blue Seed main image

In the present, Japan is under assault by murderous creatures known as Aragami whose origin and purpose remain unknown. The fate of Japan and the world itself lies with one young woman named Momigi who bears the burden of the Kushinada -- the one who must be sacrificed to silence the Aragami forever. With the help of Kusanagi (a human and Aragami hybrid), and an agency filled with firepower-toting bodyguards, Momigi must use her Aragami-sensing powers to help save mankind; but will she ultimately have to lose her own life to save the lives of so many others?

I had no idea the same creator had made 3y3 Eyes and Blue Seed till way into the series, so keep in mind I didn't make this recommendation for that reason. They both have an alarmingly similar feel to them, with plenty of horror and monsters to go around. I admittedly enjoyed 3x3 much, much more... but if you liked one, you'd appreciate the feel of the other.
DempseyROLL

I believe the person who wrote the manga for Sazan Eyes and Blue Seed is the same.  Both anime involve a young protagonist who encounters a mythical element/power/figure;  They are then entrusted to use their newly found power to fight the forces of evil
