Both have a lot of sword fighting going on and cool special moves that the characters learn/use throughout the series. Both InuYasha and Samurai Deeper Kyo mix action and humor very well to balance it out and both feature great supporting characters as well. Also both main characters have a good and "evil"/uncontrollable side, although in Samurai Deeper Kyo this is done for really quickly when Kyo takes control over Kyoshiro's body in the beginning. But in both cases the main female lead slowly affects the main character's more stubborn/dark/loner personality. Also the romance between the main male and female character grows very slowly in both series. read more 

Since it's written and drew by the same author, it is obvious that both has the same art style, similar plot, and the same characters style, which is a big reason this recommendation is made. The arts are amazing and highly detailed in both. If you like the drawing of one, you will like the arts of the other easily. They both feature an high organization that the main character desires to dismantle because of some disagreement in the vision of life or something. It features a similar plot then. Similar characters, different lifestyle. Nothing more to add. In summary, if you liked one, you might like the others, althought the different lifestyle(one is more urban while the other feature samurais...) might bothers you. Still worth a try. read more 

Both feature a group of more or less badass characters fighting their way through as well as great action scenes. Also both series have a bit of historical background to them and Sanada Yukimura appears in both. Some supernatural elements can be found in both Brave 10 and Samurai Deeper Kyo. 

when I think about it, Samurai Deeper Kyo feels like the prototype of Bleach at least in terms of doing sword fight stuff but has some kind of ability. the itch of that kind of fight you want on Bleach might be there on Samurai Deeper Kyo. 

The settings of these two manga are completely different and the moods are a little different but otherwise they are quite similar. They both have interesting characters with unique abilities and mysterious backstories that have banded together, friends turned enemies, awesome battles, and near the end they fight against powerful opponent(s) to change their world. 

They both feature a main character who is the guy everybody want to take down. Some intense fight there and there and some drama (because of the past) there and there. They are really similar. However, the drawings of Samrai Deeper Kyo is superior to Kenshin in my opinion. But Kenshin still has that simple drawings that does wonders. You just can't read one without at least trying the other one.
