An easy recommendation. Both series were created by the same duo of Koike/Kojima. The art style of both mangas is virtually the same, in that it has the feel of a Chanbara but in the format of a comic/manga. Samurai Executioner is a prequel to Lone Wolf and Cub, but the two aren't that connected. The same careful attention to historical detail is present in both works, and this detail is one of the major selling points and crowning achievements of the two series. Lone Wolf and Cub, however, is a much longer series than Samurai Executioner. And while Lone Wolf and Cub eventually snowballs into a long and epic concluding story arc that roughly takes up the last third of the series, Samurai Executioner never really strays away from its episodic format. If you've only read Lone Wolf and Cub and enjoyed that, I can easily recommend this. If you've only read Samurai Executioner, you owe it to yourself to read Lone Wolf and Cub.

Both are concentrated adaptations of a flashback sequence in their respective parent mangas (for Berserk it is an adaptation of the Golden Age arc while for Rurouni Kenshin this OVA adapts the Remembrance sequence in the Jinchu arc). Both series leave stuff out from the manga but also add stuff in, giving each piece a more stand alone feel. In my opinion, the story and characters of both series are incredibly well developed. Guts and Kenshin are somewhat comparable, both are youths who are very good at swordsmanship and join a certain group of warriors. Romance plays a role in both series and they end in a similar emotional manner (events between them vary WILDLY). Both build up to their finales with foreshadowing, and they deal with heavy themes too. To me at least, Berserk and Tsuikou-hen give off a very oppressive and dark vibe, and comedy is sparse and becomes non-existent by the end. Berserk and Tsuikou-hen have quite brutal actions scenes that honestly unsettled me at times. Berserk is much longer than Tsuikou-hen, the former is a full 25 episode series while the latter is a 4 part OVA that can be edited into a 2-hour movie. Berserk is a dark fantasy set in a fictional universe while Tsuikou-hen is historical fiction set during the Bakumatsu.

...then you might like Trigun Maximum add

This also applies to the original run of Trigun as that is the beginning of the story that continues in Maximum The main protagonist of both series have troubled pasts that have influenced their vow to never take a life again, and both series challenge their ideals many times. Himura Kenshin and Vash the Stampede are very similar in that they act innocent and kind-hearted yet they bear emotional and physical scars that torment them. I think both Kenshin and Vash are outstanding main leads and are easily loveable. Both series have a wide cast of supporting characters and villains, with some seriously amazing showdowns which will keep you flicking through the pages. In my opinion, both series get very emotional (esp. towards the end) and have spectacular endings that don't drag on longer than they should. While Rurouni Kenshin is arc-based and has two major story arcs that were preceded by an episodic run, Trigun becomes a continuous story after the introduction of a certain character very early in the original Trigun. Trigun's setting is also vastly different to Rurouni Kenshin, the former is a sci-fi weird western while the latter is historical fiction set in the Meiji period.

The premise of both series is a man who wants to atone for the sins/crimes he has committed. Of course, there is way more to the stories of both mangas than that which I don't want to spoil. They also both have a historical backdrop and are of similar length. The main leads of both mangas (Kenshin/Manji) I find very likeable and well done, as well as both female leads (Kaoru/Rin). Both supporting casts are great and contain very memorable characters. The villains that appear throughout both series have a sense of moral ambiguity to them to the point that 'villain' isn't a fitting word to describe quite a lot of them, with the exception of a few who are truly despicable, but it's true that Blade has a larger quantity of sympathetic antagonists. Both mangas also utilise flashback sequences at multiple instances for backstory and have rather lengthy story arcs. RuroKen and Blade make great use of their historical setting despite both series being set at different times of Japanese history, with RuroKen being a Meiji Restoration narrative while Blade is set in the mid-Tokugawa era. (Also in my humble opinion, the last story arcs of both these series are the high points.) The similarities more-or-less end there. Blade of the Immortal is a seinen series and therefore has much more mature content such as extreme gore and sexual violence, its story delves into some seriously dark territory at times; RuroKen does delve into some serious and depressing territory but it is a shounen and naturally, doesn't go quite as far as Blade. Furthermore, RuroKen has significantly more comedy than Blade (particularly in the earlier chapters), but that's not to say Blade doesn't have its humorous moments. Additionally, Blade has a much more realistic and sketchy art style compared to the more solid and typically 'anime' style of RuroKen, but I greatly enjoy both styles for what they are and they compliment the tone and atmosphere flawlessly. I think it's safe to say that if you liked Rurouni Kenshin then you'll like Blade of the Immortal as well, especially if you are a fan of Japanese period drama and can stomach its darker tone.

Both are MANIME with buff men and lots of punching. Be warned, you WILL grow a beard after watching them.

If you liked Berserk add

...then you might like Vagabond add

Both are extremely violent and gory, but Vagabond has a basis in history and has a more realistic art style, while Berserk is obviously a dark fantasy.

Berserk follows the dark fantasy setting of Claymore, though if anything Berserk is even darker.
