Brave 10 and Hakuouki are both samurai era anime that centre around a strange girl who is in the care of one or more men. They have similar action and drama. If you like one, I suggest you watch the other.

Ailurophile Ailurophile says...

they both have similar themes with the anime being centered around a main girl surrounded by samurai. Both have action and back stories. both have a art appeal with the characters in both animes feminine and "pretty". Hakuouki seems to be more appealing to girls though. If you like Brave ten you might like Hakuouki.

Set in similar periods of Japanese history Brave10 is more light-hearted than Hakuouki. The female leads in both are girls ignorant of their past and begin to effect those they meet. They are both very caring of their companions however the girl in Brave10 tends to cry more than in Hakuouki. 

As they both have the fantasy/mythical element they are quite similar and are extremely enjoyable!

SeiyaManG SeiyaManG says...

Both shows have a similar premise where a mysterious girl who survives hardship leaves home and joins a band of  mysterious warriors. Both also share in animtion styles, mythology and make use of Bishounen elements. If you enjoyed one, I'm sure you'll like the other.

Chitaka Chitaka says...

While Hakuouki is a bit darker and more dramatic both of these anime are based around a largely male cast of samurai with one main female in each who those characters have to protect. Also if you were a particularly big fan of the art style in either of these anime then you are sure to like the art in the other as it is very similar in that pretty, modern, somewhat bishounen style.

Both are reverse harem, dealing with samurai and honor in feudal japan. Both also has a many characters centered around one girl that is not a warrior but she still help them in her own way

Both anime are set in feudal Japan and take on famous historical figures as the base of their stories. Lots of fighting and bloodshed are to be had in both. Both anime have a very large male cast that kicks ass too. Check em out if you like this sort of thing!

Chitaka Chitaka says...

Both of these are (mostly) lighthearted anime that take place in feudal Japan where samurai are everywhere. The characters in both are all so over the top and they each have some specialized fighting style. Later on the plot of both get a bit darker. If you're into awesome fight-scenes and samurai action you should definitely give these both a shot

Karasune Karasune says...

Feudal Japan? - check. Characters based off of historical figures? - check. Crazy moves and over-the-top battles? - check. Attractive characters? - check. Humor alongside serious moments? - check. Sengoku Basara and Brave10 both include these things. The action is nonstop, the hot-bloodedness is... hot, and the crazy stunts will keep you entertained. If you liked one, you need to check out the other.

Brave10 and Hiiro no Kakera although set in different periods have similar plots; one girl who has mystical powers which she doesn't fully understand is protected by a group of boys/men whom also have powers. Both deal with gods and Japanese history/mythology.Brave10 is more humurous than Hiiro no Kakera and contains more characters.Hiiro no Kakera is still airing and so far there has been little character/plot development.

Personally I love both and can't wait to see if there is another series of Brave10 and am loving Hiiro no Kakera!

Samurai 7

Samurai 7

In an age when samurai enhanced their bodies mechanically, a great war broke out. After the war's end, these "Bandits" (having become mere robbers) have lost their samurai code and now rob villages for their rice and women. The peasants of Kanna Village are filled with despair and agree to hire some samurai to retaliate, but with only rice in their food stores and no money to offer, it seems that time is running out. Now, the villagers must set out to look for samurai willing to accept such a deal -- but are there still such men that abide by the samurai code, and protect the weak?

Karasune Karasune says...

A team of unique fighters (7 in Samurai 7, 10 in Brave10) assemble to take down an enemy. A young woman is the one to bring these fighters together, and they are tasked with guaranteeing her protection as well. Samurai 7 is far more serious than Brave10, but both include war, action, and adventure. If you liked one, give the other a try.

Set during the same era of fedual Japan, both of these shows are an unorthodox take on history. A main character gathers a group of strong fighters to take on the enemy & the arguments between the characters are often more of a highlight than the actual plot.

Mushibugyou

Mushibugyou

Deadly giant bugs have begun to rampage through Edo Japan, and the Mushibugyou Protection Office must exterminate the threat. With the body count rising, the group requests aid from famed samurai Genjuurou Tsukishima, but due to an injury the man sends his inept-but-determined son Jinbei in his stead.

Etue Etue says...

Both series are battle shounen titles pure and true. Both have casts of quirky characters. While Brave10 actually takes itself serious and has a seemingly deeper world both series still are typical shounen only on the other side of comedy. That said Brave10 will appeal far more to the bishounen appreciator while Mushibugyou is blatantly crafter to be only interesting to shounen lovers. Both series however feature fanservice using the female characters they have. Coincidentally in the end both have 2 recurring females.

This is similar to Brave 10 because it both has the herione has special powers...Well all of them do. But, it's also a reverse harem anime and it sort of has romance in it. Anyways, both stories have the ying-yang and elements in it. Though in Angelique ~When the Heart Awakens~, there are eight elements instead of ten. Either way, it's a really good anime to watch and you should also watch the other ones with the title "Angelique" like the Neo Angelique Abyss... {(In this case, It'd be my own opinion, but it is worth a shot to watch it!! [HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY!!! <(>.<)>]}

i would compare this best to basilisk because it's in the same era, during the reign of Ieyasu Tokugawa and both involve the Koga and Iga ninjas. although Brave10 is not based on the ninja scrolls as far as I know. 

Brave10 has a simpler storyline but if you like one you would definitely like the other.

DidIKnowYou DidIKnowYou says...

Both animes incorporate searching for other individuals to complete some sort of group. Hakkenden has 8, Brave10, you guessed it, 10. Basically, they remind me of searching for the 108 stars of destiny like in the old Suikoden video games-- which are some of my favorite video games. So if you enjoyed one, you're likely to enjoy the other. Any other animes out there like these two that have the protagonist searching for/stumbling upon other people who have something in common that ultimately is meaningful to the story out there?

Samurai Champloo

Samurai Champloo

Samurai Champloo is all about style, from the dj-style scratching scene changes to the hip-hop-inspired soundtrack to the eclectic character design. Mugen's fighting style is a funky meld of capoeira and limb-cutting, and Jin is the dramatic foil; he is all steel and old-school samurai style. What binds them together is the desire to test each other's abilities, and a promise to a girl named Fuu: to find the samurai that smells of sunflowers, who plays a pivotal role in her past. Together they travel through edo-era Japan, finding battle and comedy wherever they stop.
