COMMENTS FOR RUROUNI KENSHIN
Do you like historical/battle action shows with AWESOME sword fights?
The main difference between the shows is that the world in Token Ranbu definitely has a touch of fantasy whereas Rurouni Kenshin has a realistic setting but if you like well choreographed fights and shows set in historical japan than give these series a try.

COMMENTS FOR NAMUAMIDABUTSU! -UTENA-
Historical and mythological bishies summoned to modern era in order to fight demonic creatures that threaten human world. The mission gets really personal midway, compelling some of the characters to face ghosts of their own tragic past.
Namu Amida Butsu starts off in a pretty relaxed manner, and if you find yourself enjoying the chiller slice of life parts, you might want to check Touken Ranbu Hanamaru as well.

COMMENTS FOR SENGOKU BASARA: SAMURAI KINGS
Swords, boys, light beams, intense action choreography, Japanese history, and both are based on games... these two shows are surprisingly similar.
Sengoku Basara has a brighter palette and a more positive feel, whereas Katsugeki is much darker. Outstanding action in both shows, Katsugeki being the more polished of the two with very good utilisation of CG.
Neither are exactly shows to watch for plot or character depth, but if you're a fan of the games or are looking for some fast paced shiny action fuelled by shouting, give Basara or Katsugeki a try.

Both have elements of the Shinsengumi, But Touken Ranbu is about historical swords transformed into men to protect history. The swords from the shinsengumi include Izuminokami Kanesada(uchigatana) and Horikawa Kunihiro(wakizashi) wielded by Hijikata Toshizou

COMMENTS FOR LIBRA OF NIL ADMIRARI
Two shows that seem like b-rated (fairly unique) plots, but are pretty intricate and relevant. Main characters fight to prevent some atrocities that keep happening.
Pretty boys, inanimate objects holding real value, pretty similar overall
