If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Souten Kouro add

Medieval battles set in China, slight fantasy elements but no horror or monsters(apart from the monstrous legendary warriors, and berserk anime does finish just as it goes all 'monsterish') and based more on reality(Sun Tzu's Art Of War etc) and has realistic epic battles consisting of thousand strong armies, genius generals/strategists and unstoppable warriors, betrayal/loyalty/rivalries, political intrigue, philosophical overtones, important and not just throwaway support characters, epic story.. need i go on? A real hidden gem that all berserk fans should enjoy.

If you liked Souten Kouro add

...then you might like Sengoku Basara add

If you got tricked by the historical tag, and expected a grand epic story and character development instead of just mindless shounen, then i suggest you check out Souten Kouro, which is based on Romance of 3 Kingdoms. It's seinen, meaning there is a lot of blood and some sex/nudity, and there is an actual story/plot to it. It is based on ROTK after all, which is considered one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, so that should tell you something.

If you liked Jiraishin add

...then you might like Sanctuary add

Both have a dark and gritty tokyo city 90's underworld/crime style to it. Both show that justice doesn't always follow the law. Both are masterpieces, but Sanctuary has a more coherent story that follows the main characters, while Jiraishin is more slice of life and episodic in nature.
