Both have ninjas and science-fiction themes like spaceships and advanced technology. Black Lion is based on a Go Nagai work and Miroku is based on a work of Ken Ishikawa, both worked together in the creation of some mangas and have similar styles

Both feature Oda Nobunaga as the evil warlord bent on complete control and uses supernatural help to do so. Of course, only one lone protagonist has the power to stop him. Also both are rife with gratuitous violence.

Both are ninja anime from the 1990's that are set in feudal Japan. Both are action-packed anime with lots of violence and blood. Ninja Scroll has a better story, however they are both very entertaining to watch. If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.

Both anime consist of swordsmen fighting against technologically sophisticated enemies to save their villages

Both are set in the samurai era have a lot of over the top gore and violence. Only difference is that makai tensho has dark fantasy, while black lion mixes in sci-fi and space opera.

You want to watch another show where sci-fi style technology comes from no where? A show that is further from realism than Hokuto no Ken from being moe? Then get ready for a treat. Both Black Lion (Jigen Sengokushi: Kuro no Shishi - Jinnai Hen, if you want long Japanese name) and Battle Royal High School are very weird and defeat any presence of logic proving to be pure art. And with both shows being blood baths, be careful and don't show it to the unprepared ones.
