RELATED ANIMES
COMMENTS FOR DORORO
Similar tone and similar theme (Dark tone, and demon slaying). Both have great animation and great soundtrack. They aren't the same, in fact they are quite different on other aspects (for example, the characters, the world setting and the art style). However there is a good chance you will enjoy them if you liked one of them since they have a similar vibe.
Sorry the comparison is a bit vague but I don't want to spoil too much here.
Ancient Japan. Demon Slayer and Dororo are both set in history where MCs find themselves having to slay demons, whether it be for a personal reason, or for the sake of others.
Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro on his journey to save his sister Nezuko who has become a demon. Dororo follows Hyakkimaru, who encounters Dororo, on his journey to obtain the body parts he is missing due to an exchange his father had with the demons. Both Tanjiro and Hyakkimaru also excel in senses with Tanjiro having an overpowered nose, Hyakkimaru knowing who is good and evil.
Both are good anime set roughly in the same time period, sharing the same amount of action in supernatural worlds full of demons. All targetted at the shounen demographic too.

COMMENTS FOR ATTACK ON TITAN
Both anime has a fight between humanity and Titans/Demons. Bigger enemy is scary, strong and hard to defeat, but there are groups dealing with them. Demon slayers and Survey Corps. Then we have naive main character who looses people that are important to him. Lots of tears, screaming and trying to make things better. Few years of training to become a man and then the MC is out to destroy them all.
The premise of the whole story is almost the same for both of these. Both have : a MC whose family gets eaten, some sort of organization that fights the creatures, revenge themes, a character(/s) who is a creature, but helps humanity, etc.
The biggest difference that I can see is the fact that Shingeki no Kyojin gets more and more political as it goes on (it covers politically based issues and conflicts). I don't see that happening with Kimetsu no Yaiba.
COMMENTS FOR BLEACH
Both follow a guy who enters a world which he knows nothing of and then becomes a vital part of it.
Both are about fighting a league of villains going up to its boss.
same narrative way. Both have comedy as an additional factor.
both have a red head as the main protagonist fighting along side a female character to which he is connected.
Both have a league of good captains and their leader fighting against the villainous league and its boss.

COMMENTS FOR HUNTER X HUNTER (2011)
I'm guessing people have made this comparison before but Muzan really reminds me of Meruem for some reason, mostly aesthetically but also Muruem when freshly hatched even seems similar personality wise.
The dedication and intense training it takes to become both a Hunter and a Demon Slayer is similar.
Although in HxH they're not demons they also face a lot of inhuman enemies.

Both Protagonists suffers after losing their closest family. In Kimestsu no Yaiba Kamado Tanjirou loses his whole family except his sister and in Blue Exorcist aka ( Ao no Exorcist ) Rin loses his father. After both going through a trauma, they both kill demons. The concept of the story of its beginnings are the same, but however later on the story differ from it other.

COMMENTS FOR TOKYO GHOUL
Ghouls and Demons fighting against humanity. Some of them are able to affect people and become demi-humans. Or so called - half human half demon/ghoul. Main character goes through traumatic incidents which changes his life. Both MC's are naive, into crying and having their perfect world which is soon broken and changed by the reality. Some good fights, action, soundtracks and animation.

COMMENTS FOR THE PROMISED NEVERLAND
Both are adapted from dark fantasy manga by shonen JUMP.
The promised neverland is about kids who were raised like live stocks in an orphanage that was not exactly what it seemed to be. The kids were raised to become food for demons and after finding out, they plan to escape. Both main characters face demons who had eaten their loved ones and both want to save what's precious to them. Although Demon slayer gives off more action and adventure than the promised neverland, the promised neverland is a very interesting and entertaining anime with unexpectedness crawling at every corner.
Demon slayer is about a boy whose whole family was killed by a demon and only his sister was spared, but his sister had undergo a transformation into a demon, his job is to now revenge his sister; to kill the ultimate demon that slayed his family and to find a way to turn his sister back into a human. A story about sibling love, character development and many different types of fighting arts, with adventure and the peaceful rest of demons.

COMMENTS FOR LAUGHING UNDER THE CLOUDS
Both fight supernatural enemies and both are set in the same time period, the Taishō era.
COMMENTS FOR INUYASHA
Kimetsu no Yaiba reminded me of Inu Yasha, both shows center on our male lead and involve demon slaying. The setting is historical Japan, and the characters are very fleshed out, even the demons get some of their own backstories. If you've seen Inu Yasha and would like a similar experience, Kimetsu no Yaiba is a fantastically animated shounen with it's very lovable characters and bits of comedy throughout.

Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Black Clover are extremely similar. Both series are action-packed shounen, and feature hard-working protagonists (Asta and Tanjiro).

Another similarity is how both anime feature stories for the characters involved in the fights.

COMMENTS FOR MORIBITO - GUARDIAN OF THE SPIRIT
Both series share a dark oriental mystical setting; Moribito being in a ancient Asian inspired territory and Kimetsu set in 19th century Japan. They both follow a character acting as a guardian for a child they share a deep bond with.
They're both adventure fantasies with some really awesome action and magic, though Moribito's action scenes are more realistic; mostly focusing on weapons based martial arts whereas as Kimetsu uses a mixture of martial arts and magic.

COMMENTS FOR TOILET-BOUND HANAKO-KUN
These animes both have supernatural interactions and fun stories. Tanjiro and Hanako are both trying to beat the evil side even though their both afraid of doing it so. Tsukasa and Muzan both created a source of evil in a violent way.
These two animes have a lot in common which is why I think their a good match up.

COMMENTS FOR NARUTO: SHIPPUDEN
both have stories and good characters, only flaw about demon slayer is its sorta slow start due to it being in its first season, but it speeds up a lot faster than other shows imo.

COMMENTS FOR FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST
Demon Slayer and FMA have similar character roles and fights against demons but the atmosphere isn’t the same.
After the death or disappearance of their entire family, the main characters (Tanjirou/Edward) share similar goals, to search for a way to return the body of their younger sibling (Nezuko/Alphonse) to normal.
(Tanjirou/Edward) fight side by side with their younger sibling (Nezuko/Alphonse) and the bond they share is admired by others such as (Mitsuri/Armstrong) not to mention (Giyuu/Roy) the person who lead the way for them to be what they are in the story(military alchemist/demon slayer) also share some characteristics like being cold but considerate and protective of them.
Brief:
*Tanjirou Kamado similar to Edward Elric
*Nezuko Kamado similar to Alphonse Elric
*Giyuu Tomioka similar to Roy Mustang
*Mitsuri Kanroji similar to Armstrong
