Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Synopsis:
In the year 1986, eighteen people travel to the remote Rokkenjima island for Kinzo Ushiromiya to pick a new head of the family, as he only has a short time left to live. A portrait of the Golden Witch Beatrice greets them as they arrive at the family mansion, along with an epitaph: she will be resurrected on the ninth twilight after a number of bloody sacrifices. After the first six bodies are found, questions are raised about the fate of those remaining, the woman in the picture and her relation to the family wealth. Will anybody walk away from the ominous island, or are their destinies due to be forever ruled by Beatrice?

add recBoth series feature a group of people/person who is trying to constantly outwit supernatural enemies. Both feature some pretty creepy parts without going overboard on the gore factor. Both are also somewhat episodic, featuring 3-5 episode arcs through the run of the series.
If you liked one, you'll probably like the other.

add recDrama, check; mystery, check; gore, check. Although I have heard a lot of people who dislike both of these shows, I highly enjoyed both. If you are the kind of person who enjoyed one of these shows, I definitely recommend watching the other for a little mental exercise and enjoyable detective work.
Demon Prince Enma
Alt titles: Kikoushi Enma
- OVA (4 eps x 45 min)

Demons are escaping from the underworld, and causing much havoc on the population. Possessing both human bodies and artifacts alike, the demons are inconspicuously forcing people to commit murders; the demons must be stopped! The task of returning – or exterminating – the offenders lies with Enma, Kapaeru, and the talking witch hat Shapoji; can Enma and the gang banish the demons before things get out of hand?

add recDark and twisted, there is much in both Umineko and Enma to keep fans of horror watching. The story does not take the viewer by the hand and lead them along by explaining every nuance, but instead relies on the viewer concentrating and figuring things out for themself.
If you liked one, I think you should at least try the other.
Ga-Rei -Zero-
Kagura and Yomi are two girls who have a bond that cannot be broken. While once they fought side by side against the supernatural forces that threaten the planet, fate had something different in store for these star-crossed companions. Yet to understand the present, one must first experience the past – a time before Kagura’s involvement with the Supernatural Disaster Prevention Agency. Always cheery and good-natured to a fault, the young Kagura first meets Yomi when she is invited into her home. Over time, the two battle malicious spirits and grow closer together – but soon, more terrifying foes begin to reveal themselves. A swarm of glowing blue butterflies and a mysterious stone are harbingers of darker things to come, and one thing’s for sure: Kagura and Yomi will never be the same.

add recThey are both filled with magic, tragic romances or friendships and fanservice. If you enjoyed either, you'll probably enjoy the other. One is a demon-killing shonen, and the other is a witch-themed murder mystery based on a game, but they are certainly both in the same spirit and filled with gore.
I'm not really a fan of either, but if you are, I would understand why you'd like both of these.
