this can't be understated. i'm open to movies with heavy content but this was a little much for me. and it's basically the opening scene.
When you say something similar, what do you mean?
Artwork (Hand drawn vs CGI?)
Genre (Samurai)
Tone (Serious/Dark)
Series vs movie
Some people recommended Vampire Hunter D (classic and a favorite that I grew up on) and Wicked City (dark, with more spicy scenes than Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D combined.)
The world of Anime is QUITE vast. And at the risk of thread crapping, I am obligated to help another anime seeker in their quest to find more anime.
Please skip to the next post for the words ahead are literally incessant rambling that have nothing to do with OP deal (which is good enough for me to be in for 1 btw.)
General recommendations. Fist of the North Star, Berserk (the 1997 version please,) Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Anime that fall much closer to your "something similar to this"
Sword of the Stranger - great sword fight choreography.
Dororo - same general period (Dark Feudal Japan,) with supernatural elements.
Basilisk - Samurai/Ninja Anime series. I'm personally not a big fan but I know it to be very, VERY similar to Ninja Scroll.
Blade of the Immortal - sort of a "if Deadpool was a samurai" but darker, and without the humor.
Honorable mention - Gantz. I love and hate the series. No samurai, but very serious and dark. A fair number of gratuitous spicy scenes. I found myself very caught up with this series; BUT it never truly ended. No closure. No real conclusion. Also, do NOT get attached to ANYONE in this series. It's very "Game of Thrones" where the characters are actually in danger.
Probably can't go all the wrong to throw in Akame Ga Kill, and Parasyte in all this. Do be doubly and triply warned that in asking for "similar" anime; none of these recommendations really have what you would call "Happy" endings (if you get closure at all.)
Akira
