add recWell aside from the old ninja type artwork, there is also a similar storyline. They both incorporate feudal lords and the fight for political power. even though Puppet princess has a female lead, there are definitely enough similarities to reccomend this anime to someone who likes the other
Both anime are about dark feudal times in Japan where the characters in each anime find themselves in strange situations that they have to deal with in a very violent brutal way using their ninja skills. Gory, violent, and squirmish scenes are in abundance in both anime i'm sure you'll like one if you liked the other.

add recIf you liked Puppet Princess for the strange plot and the horror then you would most likely enjoy Mermaid Forest as well. Both of these anime rocked, in my book. There is a lot of blood and gore in these anime, but it doesn't over take the story at all. They both have really deep plots that will suck you in, the visuals are just an added bonus!

He has mastered the art of the sword and become Number 2, but many others want to hold his title and the title of Number 1 for themselves. With competition and sword fights at every turn, can Afro finally exact his revenge?

add recThese two series are nearly two of one kind. Both feature samurai who fight mechanical beings and have a lot of dark and noir about them. The main difference between the fighting in both series is that while Puppet Princess only involves swordplay, Afro Samurai has more modern weapons and technology like swords and bazookas, but also cell phones.
Besides the fighting, the main difference between the two series is the characters. Where there is actually some humor in Puppet Princess, Afro Samurai is bitter and sadistic, rather than a bit lighthearted.
