Peace Maker Kurogane

Both anime talking about the samurai in the Edo era, and the story talks about a group of people work in kill , wearing the same clothes 

Same Shinsengumi characters, but different plot, and exact same time period and location, Kyoto. In both shows, the Shinsengumi Vice-commander, Hijikata Toshizo, takes in a young person and is placed under the care of the Shinsengumi. The most obvious difference is that in Peacemaker Kurogane, Hijikata takes in a 15 year old boy, Ichimura Tetsunouske and makes him his page, instead of a young girl.  

Both about ancient samurai, and there is similarity in the names of some characters 

It's about the history of japan (politically). Both show unique personalities of the shinsengumi. So far it seems as though it might be just as gory as peacemaker. I would definitely recommend this anime if you liked Hakuouki. 

Both are about the Shinsengumi. If you don't consider that the characters are drawn differently, and that the main characters are different, (Tetsu and Chizuru), then Hakuouki can almost be considered a "sequel" to Peacemaker Kurogane, (in a way), as the Ikedaya Incident was the final event in Peacemaker Kurogane, while it is one of the first events in Hakuouki. They're both awesome! 

Both about Shinsemgumi, both has characters called okita xDD People get ill, fighting and both very very good!  

both take place in the shinsengumi and they consist of a character that something happened to them leading to them joining the shinsengumi. in hakuouki the main character joins after witnessing a drug test going out of control where as the main character in peacemaker kurogane joins after his father is killed in search of revenge leading him to desire strength.  

Both take place back in the samurai days. 

Both animes are Historical and about Samurais. 

PMK is all about Shinsengumi, with Saitou, Okita and others, that "appear" or are mentioned in RK. Even though the titles aren´t alike, it is almost as seeing the two sides of a coin.  

samurai themed and both go back in time. they both contain the shinsengumi (in peacemaker, he is part of the shinsengumi and in kenshin the tall guy,forgot his name, came from there). the main characters both fight, but dont kill. i would recommend both to anyone. 

same period of japanese history, from different angles 

Both are historical anime based around approximately the same time period of Japan's history. Both series feature samurai and shinsengumi; in PeaceMaker Tetsunosuke (main character) wants to join the shinsengumi but in Rurouni Kenshin shinsengumi are one of Kenshin's (main character) enemies of the past. Both series start out pretty light-hearted but get serious and quite dramatic later on. Also both have great funny moments! Also, both main characters have red hair. 

PMK isn't as dark or brooding as Bakumatsu is, but both are historical fiction. In fact, both include the Shinsengumi. PMK focuses mainly on the Ikedaya incident of the Shinsengumi and follows 15-year-old Tetsunosuke Ichimura as he goes out to avenge the death of his parents (he also meets Ryoma Sakamoto, who, in Bakumatsu, is Akizuki's master). The only negative thing I would say about this is that they over-exaggerate the blood spatter. 

Same time, same heroes, nothing special  

Both series are set in the same era in Japan's history with some overlapping characters like Toshizo Hijikata, Ryouma Sakamoto, Souji Okita, Kondou Isami and Tetsunosuke Ichimura. Both also have some characters who seek revenge on the one who killed their parents.. in a burning house. While both are based on history they have fictional characters added in and Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto also has supernatural touches to it that are nicely woven into the story. While Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto takes itself more seriously PeaceMaker Kurogane is slightly more light-hearted and comical. These series are both enjoyable, especially if you like historical (samurai) anime!  

Both follow tales of the Shinsengumi as seen through the eyes of a third party member (aka, someone not originally part of the Shinsengumi). Also, both characters have similar love interests in the way of them being Meiko/Geisha. Both stories are pretty lenient on action--there isn't a ton. But the story is still very interesting! for both shows, I found it hard to stop clicking the next episode. If you like one, you'll probably like the other :D  

The action take place in Edo period, is about samurai and Gintama have also Shinsengumi, and the names of the members are the same as the ones from Kurogane, like Hijikata, Okita, Kondo, Yamazaki etc.. 

Both are historical portrayals of the Shinsengumi. While Peace Maker's historical value is somewhat ruined for the sake of entertainment, it still contains a few history lessons. Shiro no Kiseki, however, offers a very good insight into the life of Hijikata Toshizo, the demon vice commander of the Shinsengumi, and seems to be quite accurate. It doesn't only show us his Shinsengumi days, but also follows the rest of his life all the way up to his death. Both are a must see for anyone wanting to learn about the Shinsengumi. The same characters and settings also appear in both, so it's nice to see how people interpret them differently. read more
