Both have strange creatures who infect people (Kabane/Oni)
Both have a character who is infected but can control it
Awesome animation and OST
On both anime, one of the main goals is to find a cure for the infectees
Good battle scenes
Both stories are set in the past (KnK during the industrial revolution, KnY during Taisho era)

Both are set in alternate-history versions of Japan where humans are ravaged on a regular basis by a race of monsters (Demons/Kabane). In both cases, the female lead ends up getting turned into something in-between human and the monster of their respective series, and so end up fighting for the good guys (though this happens to both main characters in "Kabaneri"'s case). Also, the male leads end up promising to turn the heroine back into a human. Both shows also have some great action scenes, as well as fantastic music and visuals.
Basically, if you liked "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress", you'll LOVE "Demon Slayer".
