add recElfen Lied has an insane amount of blood and gore, just like Tokko, and an equivalent amount of excessive ecchi as well. If you liked Tokko, I think there's no possible way you wouldn't like Elfen Lied.
The absurd pace of Tokko, in the sense of plot development, cannot quite match that of Elfen Lied. However the genre is impeccably the same. Whilst the major distinction between the two is the age of the characters (with the exception of the plot and structural differences at this point), their behavior is almost the same. Elfen Lied lacks the protagonist character that Tokko is personified by. Just how much you like Elfen Lied will be dependent on the proportion of factors that drew you to Tokko: the gore and the plot. Elfen Lied has no shortage of the former but the latter, while existent, is incoherent at sometimes. Either way Elfen Lied is a must watch if you enjoyed Tokko.
There aren't many good gory anime, so I recommend you fellows that like slaughter to see these also. Both Elfen Lied and Tokko have a strange touch to them, which I think all people that see them will notice. If you liked one of them you will most likely enjoy the other, as they have a similar 'drama' and 'gore'.
These anime have a similar feeling to them, both in the depth of emotion, the violent battles and short episode runs, which call for a compact story. The main characters find themselves immersed unwillingly in a world of bloody fighting, because of gifts they were born with (in Elfen Lied) or came to possess at an early age (in Tokko), and the series are about how they cope (or do not) with the added responsibility.
Tokko and Elfen Lied share many aspects, one being the uncanny ability to turn a serious situation into a humorous act, or the uncanny ability to make your jaw hang open as you sit fixated on the intense but brutal action in front of your eyes.
Elfen Lied and Tokko are both thirteen episodes long, which makes twenty six episodes of nonstop action that you're bound to love. If you were a fan of one, you'd do well to at least try the other.
If you gore and supernatural things i would reccomend elfen Lied and Tokko. Gore and (a bit ecchi) is about the thing they have in common. If you're looking for a gore anime with a great story you should watch Elfen lied.
Both series are very bloody and don't hold back with ecchiness. If you liked one, I think you would enjoy the other series too!
Claymore

These vicious creatures can take the appearance and memories of humans they have devoured, thus blending into society as they freely feast on human flesh.

Meanwhile, in a village, the young Raki has been banished; his only crime was losing his family to the yoma. Raki is drawn to a Claymore named Clare, and together their journey begins. While Clare fights the yoma plaguing the land, can Raki help her in her struggle to retain her humanity?

add recAlthough set in completely different time periods, both anime have a similar story and feel. Both the fighting style and amounts of gore in each are similar. If you like one, you would like the other.
I think Claymore and Tokko have similar stories placed in different time periods. While Claymore creates an ancient atmosphere Tokko story evolves in modern times.
Both of them include sword fighting, dark misterious creatures and of course blood.
First, if you're into animes that have a female character with that mysterious demeanor and hint of horrible past, then you'd certainly be interested in watching Claymore.
Tokko and Claymore are basically about a special group of people who have a job of destroying a band of 'supernatural' beings.
In addition, the two animes are action-packed and contains gore. Both chooses swords as a way to fight, slashing enemies into little bits of pieces.
I think that both final episodes of these two animes would upset you and make you wish for more, as I did!
Aside from the setting (Tokko being set in modern day and Claymore having a more medieval setting) both Tokko and Claymore have almost the exact same plot themes: humanity is being attacked by demons and only a select organization has the ability to kill them.
Blood+
In world where flesh-eating monsters roam the streets, only one organization has the means to save civilization from annihilation: Red Shield, a specially-organized unit designed to fight these monsters, and the only weapon that can destroy them: Saya. Awakened from a 30-year sleep, Saya is thrust into a modern world which she has no memories of, and is troubled by a past filled only with bloodshed and sadness. With the undying love and support of her family and friends, she struggles to gain the strength to move forward and regain the pieces of her shattered memories.

add recBoth Blood+ and Tokko feature main characters that are taken away from their normal lives and plunged into violent combat. Although with heavy gore and lengthy fights, the series actually focus on their feelings as they come to accept their gifts and the responsibility of power.
Both these anime's have their fair share of violence. They both have supernatural aspects to their plots. The character's are pretty similar and the plots are fairly close
Both of these series focus on their main character's being forced into a world they don't want to be in and how their emotions and they themselves change as they begin to accept their destiny and new power. They both also involve demons, or demon like beings and their very gory deaths.
Both series the main character has to fight Monsters that want to destroy the human race. they make new friends that fight along them to destroy these monsters. So, if you like Tokko you'd also would like Blood+.
GANTZ
- TV (26 eps)
- 2004
Much to the annoyance of Kei, he and his childhood friend Katou have died, having been torn apart by a train. But rather than finding themselves at the gates of heaven, the duo materialize in a room full of strangers and a giant black sphere known as GANTZ.

add recBoth these anime feature characters that join, willingly or not, secret factions that fight monsters. The protagonists find themselves in the middle of a secret war, and only their will and strength can save them. Bloody and violent, with vicious fights full of gore and dismemberment, GANTZ and Tokko are not for the faint of heart.
Gantz and Tokko both feature blood and violence. They both feature strange cratures. And they both make you feel like you wanna see the main character achieve their goal at the end before their end. Check em out. ^_^
both have similar story lines a young male being thrust into a secret team dedicated to kill strange monsters. surrounded by gore and strange monsters while also dealing psychological trauma of the death of those around them. and if you liked either chances are you'll ifnd the other worth watching

add recBoth Tokko and Hellsing involve a light hearted cop who becomes part of a secret organization, and both anime have mysterious characters and a fairly dark plot.
Tokko was an interesting series which pined a normal sort of everyday cop into a world of demons and magic. He becomes a hunter of demons. If you like the idea of this you might find Hellsing very much alike in its charcter development and plot. Hellsing takes an everyday "busty" police officer and puts her into a situation not only to die! but also to have her reborn as a vampire who hunts down other vampires.
