Not only are the basic plot elements of these two series similar (in that they both feature a young girl with supernatural powers obeying an all-ruling call of fate), as VMP and JG also both convey a feeling of impending darkness that touches virtually everyone involved. Episodic in nature for the most part, VMP and JG focus heavily on the darkest aspects of the human psyche while exploring limitless situations. I highly recommend VMP to JG fans and vice versa.
Each episode of Vampire Princess Miyu has the potential to turn into an episode of Jigoku Shoujo because both shows feature characters with plenty of motive for accessing the Hotline to Hell. Also episodic in nature, with some elements of gloom and a pessimistic outlook of human nature and fate.
Vampire Princess Miyu and Jigoku Shoujo is similar in plot. The way someone needs help form them, and then they will help them, then everything's back to normal. That's how their story goes... It kinda gets boring, but it's still nice... ^_^

The atmosphere in both these anime feels about the same. The case by case problem solving also feels very similar together with the dark setting of the whole anime.

Both shows coincide in dealing with the supernatural, in Jigoku Shoujo, a hell entity who grants revenge, in Vampire Princess Miyu, a vampire that hunts demons. But the real similarities are found in the execution of episodes; in both series there are people that seek revenge, with bullying, murder and hate implicated. Mysterious girls take revenge for those people, by punishing their enemies, sending them to hell or simply slaying them. When the job is done, we get a moral lesson about life, love or death, and a feeling of bitterness is left at the end of each episode. While Jigoku Shoujo are
