Kite Liberator
Synopsis:
In a city where rapists and murderers prey on the innocent, the young Monaka Noguchi lives a double life; a clumsy high school student and waitress by day, she transforms into the skilled assassin Angel of Death at night. Her father is an astronaut and has always been out of reach, so Monaka must balance her studies and job, as well as support herself, while also hunting down those who deserve to die. With a cool and calm demeanor, even in the face of bloodshed, it seems that nothing can sway Monaka’s resolve; however, her newest job will prove to be most difficult, and hit a little too close to home...

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...

add recThe animations use blood and mortal violence in a very realistic and straightforward way, from which amputating shots are especially strong and point-blank that they can be shocking for those with pure and naive soul or weak heart. Not for kiddies, definitely.
Karas
Unbeknownst to humans, demons from an overlapping dimension walk amongst them in the streets of Tokyo. The balance between the worlds is kept by the crow guardian Karas and Yurine, its master and voice of the living city. However, the time of harmony nears the end as the once-Karas Lord Eko returns. Seeking to purge humanity for its evils, he terrorizes the city with his minions that feast on human blood. The ultimate battle between good and evil awaits; can Yurine and her newly initiated Karas prevail against Lord Eko and protect their city against his monstrous horde?

add recKaras: The Prophecy and Kite Liberator don't have too much in common, but both are badass action flicks that have a similar flow and feel. Each is filled with a gleeful amount of gore and violence, and involves a brutally efficient killer taking down those who deserve to die. It's hard to say why I think this is a good pairing, so you'll just need to try it on for size.

Mnemosyne
- OVA (6 eps x 45 min)
- 2008
Rin is a private investigator with an advantage: near immortality. Thanks to the spores of the Yggdrasill tree, both she and her assistant Mimi have lived many years longer than the average person. That isn’t to say that being immortal doesn't have its problems. With 'angels' wanting to devour them, the being Apos sending wave after wave of professional assassins to kill them, and constant hangovers from long nights of drinking, being immortal still has its downsides. With Apos' attempts at removing them from the picture increasing, can Rin and Mimi figure out what he is after so they can return to their morning shots of Vodka?

add recBoth are about female leads kicking ass.
Lots of violence with a sexualised nature in a -noir kind of atmosphere.
Kite Liberator is more similar to Mnemosyne (in contrast to Kite) due to the more sci-fi/fantasy feel between the two.
And whilst Monaka (Liberator) is a hired assassin and Rin (Mnemosyne) is more detective, and are both whimsical sort of characters (though they are distincly very different) who ultimately fight for what they perceive as 'good/justice'.
