Stranger: Mukou Hadan

Both shows take place in feudal Japan, a time during which samurai were prominent. Although the plot is widely different between Tsuiokuhen and Sword of the Stranger, each show gives amazing and graphic sword battles in conjunction with a beautiful soundtrack. In addition, the feeling that both shows give you can be deemed similar.
Similar stories focusing on two Ronin with tragic pasts that end up becoming attached to a character and fighting for their sake, despite their initial reluctance and lack of empathy. Tsuiokuhen is much darker in style and substance than Sword of the Stranger although both retain a serious tone. Beautiful soundtracks in both titles also create much of the immersion and emotional value of the experience. It wouldn't be unlikely for somebody to cry during the endings of these titles.
Besides the fact that both revolve around skilled swordsmen with similar emotional backgrounds, they also share gorgeous animation, deftly executed action sequences, and powerful soundtracks. Must-sees for sure.
