Hellsing 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.

Gun x Sword

As the outlaws bring their full arsenal to bear, including one of the dreaded Armor war-machines, the fate of Evergreen looks sealed. However, a slim hope appears in the form of the wanderer Van, who possesses extraordinary martial skills and even an Armor of his own. But Van has motives and goals of his own, which don’t necessarily involve saving besieged towns...

Lay-about guns for hire using special armored suits as their weapons against the guilt from the sins of their pasts.Armour suits said in the least mecha way imaginable. The focus is far more on the armour's riders and the reasons they have to be using them.

Highly stylised series that feature a melencholic gun for hire with a tragc past.

Both have a master/student relationship built along the same lines of vengence and blame.

Ban 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.

Strait Jacket and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion take place in worlds that are filled with monsters, one literally and one figuratively so, and follow the paths of two men who fight to destroy them at any cost. The methods they use are different, and the enemies certainly don't look the same, but the inherent darkness in these shows and the truth about how one becomes a monster really bind these shows together.

Active Raid

Active Raid

Set in a futuristic Tokyo, Active Raid tells the story of “The Eighth,” a rash and careless unit of power-armored police called the “5th Special Public Security Section’s Mobile Assault Division.” After the Third Quicksand Disaster sinks Tokyo into a quagmire, the city's reconstruction efforts are carried out using high-output, reinforced exoskeletons called Willwears. But they can also be misused, and to combat the rising number of crimes involving them, the National Police Agency establishes at its Kichioji Branch the Special Public Security Fifth Division Third Mobile Assault Eighth Unit, AKA Unit 8.

If you liked Active Raid or Straight Jacket you could like the other because both are anime in which the female protagonist harps on alot in the beginning and is very annoying. In both the police wear suits in order to combat problems within the city. In both the characters who wear the suits put them on in a similar way.
