Synopsis:

In the mystical world of Shangri-la, demons and humans live side by side, watched over by a parthenon of ancient Chinese gods. But when normally-civilized demons start to go berserk, the gods require the services of Genjou Sanzo - a Buddhist priest with a magical gun, an evil-banishing scripture and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Aided by the ancient monkey god Son Goku, the half-demon Sha Gojyo and the demon exterminator Cho Hakkai, he sets off on a treacherous journey westward, with armies of demons, dark mages and angry gods all standing in his way...

InuYasha

InuYasha main image

Kagome is a normal high school girl who falls into a well, transporting her back in time to the feudal era. Upon her arrival to this world, she mercifully unleashes Inuyasha, a half demon. As if this isn't enough, she also discovers that she is the bearer of the Shikon no Tama, a jewel of great spiritual power, a jewel which has just shattered into a million shards. Now, along with Miroku the priest, Sango the demon hunter, and Shippou the mischievious fox-demon, they must set out to find the Shikon shards and defeat the evils of the demon Naraku.

Inu-Yasha and the three of the main characters of Saiyuki share a common trait, they are both demons. Both shows focus heavily on questing and demon hunting with many comedic interludes. An interesting comparison between the two shows would be the differences between the two monk characters, one is a badass who keeps to himself, while one is a lecherous creep.

they both have demons (and half demons ^_^) and ofcorse humins they both are - action, adventure, comedy etc... they are bothe verry good & if you like one you will most likely like the other

LovelyWickedDescet

Both tell an epic journey to stop an evil demon (Naraku-halfdemon) from taking over the world. Along the way collecting items (Inuyasha-sacred jewel shards Saiyuki-holy scriptures) so that they can't be used for the other's dark purposes. Each containing humor and side journeys of some of the characters.

Samurai Champloo

Samurai Champloo main image

Samurai Champloo is all about style, from the dj-style scratching scene changes to the hip-hop-inspired soundtrack to the eclectic character design. Mugen's fighting style is a funky meld of capoeira and limb-cutting, and Jin is the dramatic foil; he is all steel and old-school samurai style. What binds them together is the desire to test each other's abilities, and a promise to a girl named Fuu: to find the samurai that smells of sunflowers, who plays a pivotal role in her past. Together they travel through edo-era Japan, finding battle and comedy wherever they stop.

Both Saiyuki and Samurai Champloo are quest stories - a group of people with unusual abilities go on a journey to find something important. Both have enough butt-kicking to please action fans, and enough character and drama to please plot fans. Most of all, the series are similar in tone - both use anachronism and humor to carry a more serious plot, and both have moments of significant drama and emotional tension as well as moments that are flat-out funny. In addition, Mugen and Son Goku are similar, and Jin has elements of both Sanzo and Hakkai, so those who like the characters of either of these series have a good chance of liking people in both.

Masakari
Both shows feature a lot of action and a strong central plot that is advanced by a succession of shorter plots (although Saiyuki is more 'episodic' than ZOE is), but both also gain a lot from a cast of characters with great personal dynamics. Both feature a group of people traveling together on a grand quest while trying to iron out personal differences, and both feature a 'family' dynamic, with a strong central 'parent' figure, an innocent (but incredibly powerful) child figure and two 'sibling' figures that serve as a middle ground.
Laone
Though ZOE and Saiyuki differ in storyline and genre (historical fantasy vs sci fi mecha), both shows have a collage of characters that are easy to connect with even on the most basic level. Both shows are vaguely episodic quest-like traveling yet have an ultimate goal that the viewer is reminded of each episode. Animation style, character design and color schemes are silimar though the shows have different settings and themes. A primary character of each show exhibits the duality of childish innocence masking greater abilities and power while having a figure of authority they respect and admire. Both ZOE and Saiyuki feature characters that have interesting bantering, arguing, fussing and fighting relationships while their core is obviously and in the end, most importantly, family. The viewer has a wide selection of characters to identify with and a perk is that the "villains" are somewhat likable and add to the dynamic of the show in ways other than being overtly evil. Varieties of villains also have their own stories that explain their motivation.

Both Saiyuki and Bleach are good to watch if you're into action and adventure anime. The fighting scenes of both anime are so great. Both anime also contain funny scenes that can make you laugh even if watched many times.

Both Saiyuki and Bleach are spirtual in nature, as well as in comedy, action and adventure.
