Claymore

Claymore follows a group of emotionally nulled women; violence, blood, gore, honor, and superhuman abilities cause an exceptional amount of reactions from viewers. Both stories have similarities not only among weapons, but revenge, hatred, and a strange moral agreement between the authors. Hidden symbolism plague both stories, teasing that not only increases heart rates but emotions of shock and disturbance. Don't close your eyes for these series, missing a moment of gore, means more than just a passing moment of disgust.
Afro Samurai and Claymore are both violent anime. The main protagonists have trained since childhood for one single purpose - revenge. Years spent sharpening their sword skills have made them become hardened to violence and much feared by others. They follow and respect the warrior codes, including a ranking system based on power and skills, where progression through the ranks is usually only by defeating your superiors. Both anime offer superb animation and incredible shows of swordplay. If you liked watching one of them you wont regret trying out the other.
They both want revenge on the person who killed their love one who matter the most to them from their childhood.
