Strait Jacket
Synopsis:
In a world of science, sorcery is rediscovered and rapidly adopted in all areas of industry – but at a high price: an invisible pollution is spreading out across the world. Those who do not take proper precautions become infected, lose their sanity, and become demons. The Sorcery Administration Bureau, along with their Tactical Sorcerers, monitor magic uses and respond to any demonic outbreaks that occur. In this world, Ray Otto is a rogue tactical sorcerer who hunts down demons with reckless abandon. Given that he always gets the job done, the administration generally lets his activities slide. Together with the mysterious girl Kapel Theta, Ray risks his life and humanity to destroy demonkind... when the price is right.

add recWitch Hunter Robin and Strait Jacket have a very similar feel to them. If you stripped away the attitude towards magic, you could probably place the characters from Witch Hunter Robin into the world of Strait Jacket and vice versa. This partially due to the animation style, which seems very closely related, and partially due to the interaction between individuals.
The individuals and the organizations they belong to are where certain other similarities arise. In each series, there is an organization that watches over magic users (in the case of Strait Jacket) or potential magic users (in Witch Hunter Robin), and if these individuals cross the line and become dangerous, these organizations act to minimize the danger. In each series they use the very tools they are up against, and risk becoming one of the hunted themselves.
If you enjoyed either Strait Jacket or Witch Hunter Robin, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you try out the other.
Strait Jacket and Witch Hunter Robin both exist in world where magic has become a part of everday life. The goverment has also decided to control this magic and use it to control those who miss use it.

The character setup is near identical and anyone who's seen both will instantly recognise similar points.

add recBan and Rayott are very similar characters.
Both can be immensely powerful in battle though their powers come at a high price if used to without restraint.
Characters fighting to overcome the unforgettable events of their past. Stories are very dissimilar but are both action packed and if you like on set of characters you'll like the other. Added points fo the same classes on the main characters.

Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he “recruits” a new agent to the establishment...

add recHellsing and Strait Jacket have a number of similarities. On one level we have the organizations, which set out to destroy otherworldly abominations. In the case of Hellsing, these happen to be vampires, while in Strait Jacket they happen to be demons.
A greater similarity can be made between the leading male characters; both Alucard and Ray are individuals that fight not because it should be done, not because they are ordered to, but because it is fun. Each individual immensely enjoys their work, and are extremely reckless at times carrying it out.
Watchers of Hellsing should definately try out Strait Jacket. Likewise, if you have enjoyed Strait Jacket, you should try watching Hellsing.
Fullmetal Alchemist
Alt titles: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
Once upon a time, two brothers passed the happy days of their childhood by studying alchemy, which is governed by the equal transfer principle: an eye for an eye -- you can't get more than you give. But these brothers tried to defy that law, and a horrific accident resulted. Now, the older brother, Edward, is called the Full Metal Alchemist because of his metal limbs, and the younger, Alphonse, is a soul without a body, trapped within the confines of an automaton. Together they search for the power to restore themselves, to find the lives they lost so long ago...

add recStraight Jacket and Full Metal Alchemist are similar in the way these anime represent magic with alchemy symbols and the mix between new technologies and ancient magic, used to fight monsters created by misuse of the magic skills. Straight Jacket is much darker than FMA but both anime really give a similar feeling.
