If you did like one of these anime, you will surely like the other too.
In a future world dominated by corporations, Iria is one of the best in the bounty-hunting business. Her latest challenge is the lifeform codenamed Zeiram, an invincible killing machine built to be the ultimate weapon -- but this time, cash is not the only motivation. Iria must uncover the secret behind Zeiram and stop it at all costs in this action-packed OVA series.
Both Iria and Shamanic Princess take place in worlds far removed from our own, with their own set of rules, weapons, magic, and monsters. Though it takes a bit of time to get into the world setting, both animes thrive in worlds that are richly populated with interesting characters and charming nuances. Both series are 6-episode OVAs, long enough to have a story, but short enough to tell it quickly and with style. Plus, who doesn't love fighting girls?

Both 3x3 Eyes and Shamanic Princess have a very similar feeling to them, from the graphical atmosphere to some aspects of the plot. Although the stories are quite different, if you liked one, you'll probably like the other too.
