The thing that both of these series have in common is that the actual actions of the sword fight tells us more about the characters than the show or movies need to explain. The clash of the swordsman and their styles tell us about the character's motivations and aspirations. What does it mean to be a swordsman? what does the sword symbolize? If you like sword fighting anime's you'll appreciate both of these series

both of these animes primarily take place during japan's reconstruction after world war 2, both follow the stories of polar opposites who share a common love for their art form (Rakugo and Jazz). It is no surprise that with the clash of asian and western culture spawns a fertile ground for many art forms to grow and adapt into modern japan. While one series tries to keep the traditional japanese world alive the other is a story immersed in western culture. Both series have a solid main cast of characters and are well worth the time to watch.
