While both shows have these common points, they are also very distinct from each other. So it's not like one is an altered version of the other. You'll surely love both of these shows if you're okay with heavy themes like explicit violence and death.,

Dorohedoro follows a powerful Kaiman and his mission is to find out who changed his head into a lizard, as well as the dude who is literally inside him. However, Gleinpir is slightly different, with Shuuichi being feeble, being controlled by Claire who has a leader mindset, being used to her will in this survival game they play.

Both are good anime with Dorohedoro being crazy and unpredictable, unlike Gleinpir containing bits of ecchi and supernatural.

Attack on Titan follows humanity's humiliation of being trapped within the walls due to the titans outside, leading to Eren joining the Survey Crops in what awaits a great sacrifice for humanity. Dorohedoro is slightly different in Kaiman having a problem with his head after it had been changed into a lizard.

Both are good anime featuring a good amount of action for if that is what you please, though Attack on Titan contains military, Dorohedoro is indecipherably crazy and comedic.

Vinland Saga follows Thorfinn in his revenge against Askeladd, growing along the way to get stronger and stronger. Dorohedoro follows strong fighter Kaiman in his journey to take back his head and find out more of who dwells within his body.

Both are good anime featuring the same amount of action on every detail. With Dorohedoro being slightly comedic, Vinland Saga is based on history.

BSD Yokohama is made up of Port Mafia and Armed Detective Agency, the powerhouses of the city in which sometimes they collide with one another when they encounter each other in the name of pushing forward their organisations' ideals. Dorohedoro is different in that Kaiman is a lone worker with Nikaido, only out to find out who changed his head to the lizard it is now. Both anime also have that 'big boss' character.

Both are good action-comedy anime although BSD has mystery whereas Dorohedoro is just crazy.

Darker than Black has heavier sci-fi themes and much less levity than Dorohedoro. It follows the lives of people, many ex-special forces or similar, who gained unique superpowers/magic abilities after being present during a mysterious event wherein an anomaly of physics swallowed a massive area in South America (and later Japan). Those with such powers are sought out and, in one way or another, recruited to act on behalf of criminal syndicates and/or government agencies.

The plot is constantly twisting and changing, and everyone has their own agenda. Plot threads and character arcs that initially seem unconnected are woven together, and you're always on the edge of your seat.

However, Dorohedoro is much gorier and crazier than Kekkai Sensen. I wouldn’t suggest it for people who can’t stomach rotting corpses and flesh and such things, though they are somehow portrayed in a lighthearted(?) way. If you couldn't take the level of blood in Kekkai Sensen, then Dorohedoro is definitely not for you! That aside, if you've enjoyed both seasons of Kekkai Sensen, I think you'll enjoy Dorohedoro as well!

Dorohedoro has Kaiman and his funny situation of having a lizard head after his regular head had been transformed. Future Diary follows Yukiteru and his involvement in a grand battle royale with the winner becoming a god. Both are accompanied by a female partner with superhuman skills, Nikaido and Yuno respectively.

Both are violent good anime with just about the same number of crazy events in both of them.

Deadman Wonderland sets a puny Ganta in the prison Deadman Wonderland after he has allegedly massacred his classmates. Dorohedoro is Kaiman wanting to find out who changed his head into a lizard head. These two are also paired with fairly overpowered female partners, Shiro and Nikaido, on their journeys.

Both are good anime featuring the same amount of blood and gore here and there. With Dorohedoro being more comedic than Deadman Wonderland.

Akame ga Kill follows the Night Raid and their countless assassinations for the good of the people under the reign of the corrupted Empire. Dorohedoro follows Kaiman and his actions of trying to reclaim his head as well as answer the questions of who is inside him.

Both are quite gruesome anime featuring the same amount of action in both of them. With Akame ga Kill being slightly more depressing in comparison to Dorohedoro untimely mishaps and comedy.
