Both shows are very different from each other, but also both of them are really solid shounen series that are greatly inspired by traditional East Asian themes and culture. Said elements play an important role in each show's worldbuilding.
Both animes is in a old setting-samurai era. Both have mystical powers, specialized in natural elements like fire. The visual effects are, somewhat, similar.
In both animes, skilled characters come together to eliminate unusual and mysterious enemies, as well as solve mysteries and find solutions to their missions. The atmosphere of both animes is similar, the teamwork and character development, the level of violence and tension are also similar. I would say that Kimetsu would be like a shounen and Jigokuraku a seinen if someone asked what is different about them.
Both Anime are very untypical Shounen and have same genre and theme. It does not simply revolve around being stronger and stronger, but have much more meaningful goals. A lot tragic moments in both. Hells paradise are philosophical manga and aren't simply black/white. Good/Evil are questioned throughout the whole series, the purpose of Life and similar themes. Both Mc have similar reason to fight -for beloved ones sake-, Tanjiro has the one only remain sister to protect and Gabimaru's wife waiting for his return. also protagonist duo had to defeat tough villains even have half-eternal lifes. There is also have super power source based on read more
Common features: Swordsmans, set in ancient Japon eras, dark fantasy, etc.
Fantastical creatures (Demons) are fought against in enhanced Japanese fashion with brilliantly animated battles and a cohesive story. The only complaint you may find is that it's geared towards more mature audiences, but I find that better.
Both series feature supernatural battles against powerful enemies, strong character development, and themes of life, death, and redemption. They share similar tones, with a dark atmosphere, gruesome action, and visually captivating sequences, making them comparable in their appeal to fans of action-packed, emotional, and somewhat gritty shonen stories.
