Both anime involve the Shinsengumi and a main character who's been through a lot when he was young (Ryunosuke and Tetsunosuke). The main characters start out as wimps but slowly get more mature as they spend more time with the Shinsengumi. Oh, and both shows have a maiko girl who's special to the main character.
Both follow tales of the Shinsengumi as seen through the eyes of a third party member (aka, someone not originally part of the Shinsengumi). Also, both characters have similar love interests in the way of them being Meiko/Geisha. Both stories are pretty lenient on action--there isn't a ton. But the story is still very interesting! for both shows, I found it hard to stop clicking the next episode. If you like one, you'll probably like the other :D
