The atmosphere of these shows is fairly dark and mysterious. They both have a lot of action and mystery. And the characters are very interesting, very diverse! I think the same age group would enjoy both these shows. Also, after a while, you can't help but feel sorry for the main characters.

Claymore

Claymore

In times of olde, humans live in constant fear of demons known as yoma. These vicious creatures can take the appearance and memories of humans they have devoured, thus blending into society as they freely feast on human flesh. The key to stopping the yoma lies with the tolerated yet feared Claymores - women who are half-demon, half-human, and fully fated to become the demons that they hunt. Meanwhile, in a village, the young Raki has been banished; his only crime was losing his family to the yoma. Raki is drawn to a Claymore named Clare, and together their journey begins. While Clare fights the yoma plaguing the land, can Raki help her in her struggle to retain her humanity?

Although Dead Girls doesn't stand as strongly as its predecessor, Red Garden, it does have a certain charm because of the evolution of the 4 girls featured in it.

I make the recommendation with Claymore because of the strong female leads. If you enjoy a show due to the character development, and the action/violence takes a back seat, then I think you will enjoy both of these shows.
