When an odd string of suicides begins to occur at a local high rise building, most of the townsfolk treat it as an unfortunate series of events. One girl, however, senses something more sinister at work - especially when a close friend of hers falls mysteriously ill. After witnessing one of the deaths for herself, Shiki begins to realize that a strange connection exists between each of the girls, and predicts a total of eight will die. With seven dead and the accuracy of her prediction unclear, she sets out to put an end to the killings. Yet, as she nears the truth, she finds herself closer and closer to the brink of death; will Shiki become the town's savior, or the next victim?

Kazuna is a young man with a fairly normal life. He attends high school, lives with his surrogate family, and models for his somber love-interest Yaegashi's paintings. But recently, he has suffered several crippling attacks at the sight of blood -- attacks which leave him incapacitated and out of control. Kazuna must now reunite with his sister who he has not seen in years, and discover the truth behind his family name and vampiric genes, before his bloodthirsty desires destroy himself, or others close to him.
Although both Hitsuji and Kara no Kyoukai are supernatural tales of vampires and monsters, this is definitely not the main focus of the show. Instead, the story develops by looking at the lives of the people affected by the creepy happenings.
Both are reasonably slow paced and will not appeal to people expecting something akin to Hellsing. However, I think if you enjoy one, you will enjoy the other.
Has someone done something to hurt you or the ones you love? Are you seeking revenge? Rumor has it that there’s a website that can service your needs. Titled “Hotline to Hell”, it contains a form that can be accessed only at midnight. Type in a name, and the Hell Girl will carry out your bidding – for a price. For though your appetite for revenge will be satisfied, your soul will also be condemned to hell after you die. But who is the Hell Girl, and does she care whether your revenge is justified? Apparently not, as long as she gets more souls…
both Kara no Kyoukai and Jigoku Shoujo are intense horor, supernatural animes which feature female protagonist possessing superpowers and both of them share the same concept, of judging people who comminted sins and then punishing them (better developed in Jigoku Shoujo than Kara no Kyoukai). If you enjoyed the extreme horror from Kara no Kyoukai then for sure you will enjoy the psychological impacts from Jigoku Shoujo and vice-versa.
Since the Hell Girl's supposed disappearance, her three helpers, Ichimoku Ren, Wanyuudou and Hone-Onna have returned to humankind to live out a normal existence. Life for the trio is suddenly shattered when Kikuri returns with word from Enma Ai: she has taken control of the body of a young school girl, Yuzuki Mikage, to continue the Jigoku Tsushin website operation. With the hotline to Hell back up and running, the promise of vengeance will once more be too much for some people to resist, digging a grave for both themselves and their tormentor. With reunions from the past, a newly-revitalized Hell Girl and new grudges to take care of, will Enma Ai ever be released from her thankless task?
both animes deal with a intense horror and supernatural aspect (more extreme in Kara no Kyoukai), both animes feature female protagonist punishing, judging people that commited sins.If you like one of this two then for sure you will like the other one as well.
In feudal Japan, Kurou and his servant Benkei are fleeing from Kurou's elder brother, who has recently ascended to the throne. In a forest, they come across a house and a strange woman by the name of Kuromitsu, who agrees to harbor them under one condition: that they do not peer into the inner chambers. Soon, they are attacked by the Red Army; they are searching for Kuromitsu, whose blood holds immortality. Fatally wounded, Kurou drinks some of Kuromitsu's blood and gains immortality along with strange abilities; but shortly after, Kurou is seemingly decapitated and wakes up centuries later in a ruined city. In this twisted future the Red Army is omnipresent and still searching for Kuromitsu’s blood, while a rebel army seeks to keep them from acquiring it. With threats at every turn and fueled by his obsession, Kurou sets forth to find Kuromitsu and seek his revenge on the Red Army.
Both series The Garden of Sinners and Kurozuka are bloody and violence anime. In both animes main male character is in love with cruel/assassin/violence girl with strange powers. In The Garden of Sinners and Kurozuka main male character want save the girl from danger. In both series we can see bodies without legs, arms, head without body etc. If you like violence, horror and mystery anime both series are for you.
The country of Gazth-Sonika has been engaged in a civil war for more than a decade, struggling to stay afloat amidst attacks from the anti-government faction known as Garza. With lies and corruption seeping into the political food chain, a mysterious book in one young girl’s possession may be the only key to uncovering the truth and bringing an end to the war. This book, however, is sought by many. And when the invincible agent Madlax is hired to protect those in search of its truth, Gazth-Sonika dispatches a ruthless soldier to make sure that truth stays in the darkness...
Both series have amazing music by Yuki Kajiura. They also both have the same feel to them, and personally, Madlax reminds me of Shiki. If you like one, you will probably like the other!
