Trinity Blood and Blood+ both give off a kind of boring vibe, with lots of talking and development between the characters. However, when they get to a part with action, they both surpass all expectations, making the boring parts worth it.
Both are action-packed, vampire themed - but with a more serious tone to them (vs cutesy or love themed vampire series)
In the revolutionary Meiji period, Japan is undergoing enormous political change. It is a time when vagabonds and terrorists will use any method to prevent the modernization of their country, even if it means trampling on the innocent in the process.

However, Kenshin has a dark past which threatens to destroy the values he is fighting for. When he meets his new friends Kaoru, Sanosuke, and Yahiko, and tries to build a peaceful life with them, events conspire against him. Can Kenshin overcome the demons within and without, and finally ensure the peaceful future that Japan deserves?
Rurouni Kenshin and Trinity Blood both have main characters that are very kind hearted and do not want to hurt anyone. However, deep inside these characters there lies a killer that they try to hide, yet is always encountered.
What really strikes me as similar between the two action series is not the central plot but rather the central protagonist. Both will avoid harming others often at the risk of their own lives due to the fear of their greater power and the man they become when they must use it. However the beauty as a viewer is watching this inner-turmoil they strive to come to terms with, evident when paired with the desire to protect others and then the inevitable released form of their true strength at a greater risk to themselves than the ones they fight

For STN, there is much work ahead, and for Robin, her troubles are just beginning...
Trinity blood and WHR are very similar. Both are about an individual fighting his/her own kind for the sake of mankind. Both seem to be episodic or monster-of-the day kind of series but eventually both unfold a story. And finally, in both series the enemy, that is so obvious in the beggining is not so obvious in the end.
Both Trinity Blood and Witch Hunter Robin follows members of a team that seeks to protect ordinary humans from dangerous beings. Add a few secrets, a scheme or two, and you'll see their similarities.

Both of these anime revolve around the struggle between light and dark, and take place mainly in a cathedral setting. With some beautiful animation and intriguing character interaction, the animes are very enjoyable. Also, both animes have the introduction of ancient, mystical powers that tend to be the central point of the plot.
