The Hakkenden

...then you might like
Shigurui

Both of these anime take a grimly artistic approach to the samurai genre and are notable for their highly stylized, symbolic visuals and imagery. Although, it should be noted that The Hakkenden is rooted in folklore and contains fantastical elements while Shigurui doesn't.
