An organization known to the dark side of the world as Chronos claims to desire world peace, employing the top thirteen assassins in the world known as 'Erasers.' They each have a weapon customized to fit their style, all made out of orichalcum ore, the strongest material available on Earth. Number 13, Train Heartnet (codenamed Black Cat) is the most famous and revered of the thirteen Chronos numbers, but in the light of a tragic event he has come to question his path in life. Together with Sven Vollfied, a struggling bounty hunter and a living weapon named Eve, Train takes up a job as a bounty hunter - all the while running from the other Erasers and Creed Diskenth, a crazed man whom wants him to join the Apostles of the Stars, a group made to destroy Chronos.

Since he was a child, Kantaro Ichinomiya has had the ability to see demons; but one day, the young Kantaro was told of a goblin so powerful that it could vanquish any foe with ease. Intrigued, his search began. Now, in the present, Kantaro works as an exorcist, banishing demons who have possessed human bodies; yet still he searches – that is, until one day, he touches a mysterious seal and releases the legend itself! His name is Haruka, he's good with the ladies, and he can kick demon butt like no other; but can he help Kantaro raise enough money for his rent?
Tactics and Black Cat both revolve around a somewhat serious fellow and his band of miscreants as they go after various baddies. Tactics has a permanently lighthearted feel, while Black Cat is a bit more dark. Both have various monsters/creatures and a generally slow and plodding pacing and flow. I didn't care much for either of these, but figure if you liked one you'd like the other.
Kiba is a wolf, one of the last of his kind, and his dream is to find Paradise in a world torn asunder by war. Cheza, the legendary Flower Girl, can lead him to Paradise, but there are others who desire her, and help from other wolves at his side may not be enough. Driven by his noble spirit, he will not forsake his quest.
Both Wolf's Rain and Black Cat gave me the same general feel as I watched them. They are both very dramatic and their characters experience something powerful throughout the series that give the anime an intense feeling. They each have their share of moments that make you giggle (whether they are funny or cute) and a bit of romance mixed in.
If you enjoyed the strong, detailed plots and intricate characters in one, you will find the same good qualities in the other.
Yusuke Urameshi was a normal middle school punk until he was hit and killed by a car, while saving a child. His selfless action earned him the right to gain his life back and serve as a detective of the spirit world, keeping the world of the living safe from a myriad of demons. But being reborn has its price: Yusuke must hatch a spirit beast that will develop according to his actions, and if he doesn't act in a good and honest manner, it will eat his soul. Can Yusuke protect the human and spirit worlds and still manage to save himself in the process?
There are many similarities between those animes. Both follow a group of people with special abilities who fight to protect the world. Train and Yusuke have very similar characteristics despite the different back grounds. They also have someone very precious to them that gives them strenght to overcome hardships.
