Synopsis:

One fateful day, Reiji was on his way to a hotel in Los Angeles when he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time: in the middle of an assassination. After these traumatic events, the young man was kidnapped, his memories erased, and given a choice: fight for the organization, or die. Now, with a new name and identity, Zwei must kill at the drop of a hat along with the organization's top assassin Ein (codename Phantom). As the bodies pile and the blood is continuously spilled, Ein and Zwei find themselves growing closer together in a world where they have no past and no future...

Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied

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 Nyu 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 and Phantom both are dark and messed up, with creepy undertones. While this recommendation might not be perfect, I do think if you liked one, you'd like the other.

At first glance, these two look almost completely different, except for maybe some of the genres. Elfen Lied is for one, 13 episodes, while Phantom is just an OVA of 3 episodes. As one would expect, Elfen Lied has a lot of things that Phantom just doesn't have, such as character development. I enjoyed Elfen Lied thoroughly, and I'm sure I would have enjoyed Phantom more if it was longer. The similarities do start with the genre. If you like either, the other can be something like an encore, with more gore, action, and touch of romance.

Gunslinger Girl

Gunslinger Girl

Henrietta is a young girl who works for a "welfare group" that does the government's dirty work. Cybernetically-enhanced and specially-trained, she is one of a group of elite hit-girls, remorseless killers with no memories of their past. Jose, her partner, has taken care of her since she was brought into the organization following the murder of her family, and struggles between his affection for her, and his opposing duty to his employer. But, time is running out.. for with each bullet they fire, Henrietta and the other girls lose a little more of their humanity.

While I enjoyed Phantom quite a bit more, both have very similar ideas to them involving people taken against their will to assassinate. Gunslinger Girl definitely is on a different level because of children, while Phantom ends up being somewhat of a love story as well. Regardless, both are dark and interesting.

Both shows have the main character being a girl who is an assassin and a guy character who assists them. The girls are controled by other in both shows. In gun slinger girl the girls work for the government while in Phantom they work for a criminal organization.

Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino

However, she meets her match in the form of Pinocchio, one of Padania's assassins whose skills with a knife are exceptional. Meanwhile, after a long period of hospitalization, Angelica has recovered enough physically to return to the field. But due to the side effects of her conditioning and her addiction to the medicine prescribed to her, is she mentally ready?

JAhU

Both anime are about assasins and both future similar concepts like brain washing. Well both of those shows are rather low quality (on all layers), but if you liked one of them, then the other one would probably entertain you as well.

Noir

Noir

Mireille Bouqet has become a reputable assassin working in France. However, all changes after she meets Kirika, a mysterious young girl who knows nothing about her past but possesses killing skills that dwarf hers. Further intrigue unfolds as both characters explore their shadowy past and come to a head with a clandestine organization that seeks to control destiny itself.

These both have solid assassin killing with many little tricks and moves that will blow your mind; though all are on a realistic level. The them of a pair of killers and the darkness surrounding them is just too good to resist.
PhoenixMoonStar

What if you woke up with no memory of who you were? What if you now find yourself on the road to becoming a top assassin? With someone in the background pulling strings, and your life on the line, how far do you go? Both series deal with a pair of assassins working as partners. Can they pull together to survive? Or will growing closer only cause them problems? If you liked one series, take the time to check out the other.

It's hard to say why I feel these two should be recommended for each other. Is it the darkness of the animation? The moving plot? The romance of sorts? Who knows, I just think you'd like this. Trust me, just check it out.
