Both Bloody gory pieces of magnificence
Both have a mythical creature/ability (Claymore - Youma, Tokyo Ghoul - Ghouls)
Both have horror with some mystery

Both have a dark ambiance and atmosphere
Both anime revolve around a non-human entities disguising themselves in a human dominated world. The entities from both anime devour humans for food.
