Both ONA's have a cyber-punk setting, and both mainly take place in a café...

Both explore the border of similarity between humans and robots

Androids in a cafe setting. Both very calming stories.

In both shows, androids exist for similar purposes: to help their owners with cleaning, shopping, etc. However, the human characters and the androids have interactions that goes far beyond that of simple owners and robots. Some androids have human-like qualities that blurs the line between humans and androids which is something eminent in both shows.

Eve no Jikan is similar to Hal in a way that society lives with robots, Hal is more focused on romance, and drama in a single movie, Eve no Jikan has a similar setting but slightly different tone.

"Time of Eve" / "Eve no Jikan" and "Plastic Memories" both involve incredibly life-like androids with artificial intelligence that have been integrated into society and were produced to act as helpers for humans who need their assistance in daily life. In these two similar works, androids are advanced enough to be capable of displaying emotions as well as making their own decisions. Unfortunately, there also exists a limit as to how long they can operate for due to aging within their systems. As a result of that, the theme of loss is another commonality, where people who have grown attached to their android companions fear  read more

Made by the same studio, Has the same mysterious feeling of wanting to know what is happening.

Both series immerse you in a future of day to day technology far beyond our own, yet taken from a perspective of rediscovering the wonder of said technology. While Denno Coil's main cast is far younger than Eve, they both have their unique takes on what this future could be, and spin a story worthy of attention. Both are hidden gems - you should take note of.

Both series feature handy and highly advanced robots/androids that humans become dependent on. Ergo Proxy has robots that have companionship with their owner, but Eve no Jikan has androids that are left as tools and often being discriminated.

Both are about how the machines manipulate the human world. It has very good graphics and it makes you think. 
report Recommended by Limonene
Both have similar philosophical themes about what makes a human human, however where GitS looks inward, EnJ looks at robot acceptance into society. 
report Recommended by nicepants
Many Real Drive episodes focus on androids and their place within a society of humans in a time when they depend on technology and brains enhanced by cybernetics. The story of Eve no Jikan stems from the same ideas. If you are curious about these science-fiction (?) elements, you'll hopefully enjoy watching Real Drive and Eve no Jikan.

If you like human and robot interaction then this is another anime that is right up that alley. Both consider ideas about how robots and society or individuals come together to understand what it means to feel. Great writing on both parts..

I haven't gotten deep into Bartender, but seeing how I've only seen a few cafe/restaurant setting animes around, Bartender and Eve no Jikan definitely have the same type of setting, with the former in an obscure bar and the latter in an obscure cafe. What's intriguing about the two is the emphasis on "backstory" rather than serving cocktails or coffee. Yeah, it's cool that you get to know about all these interesting cocktail mixes, or I guess the semi-relevant counterpart Eve blend coffee, but where each anime pulls strongly together is the influence and power the bar or the cafe has on its  read more

Both animes have human-based, futuristic robots which society often downgrades with the rare exception of the main protagonist, of course. In both animes, the main protagonist tries to convince or is in fact, convinced himself that these robot-types deserve to be treated the same way as humans, regardless of the fact on whether or not they have a soul.

Both have human-like beings trying to become human. Delves into the topic of humanity and individuality.  
report Recommended by Fijichii
Both of these animes depict the problems of the world where robots and humans cohabit . Both of them show us the emotional state of robots and them facing personal problems. If you liked Ai no Idenshi then there is a huge chance you will like Eve no Jikan as it executed the concept better in my opinion.

Robot stories completely different arguments, but with an interesting social background. Experimental Sci-Fic Anime. 
report Recommended by joksan
Eve no Jikan is a near-future anime about sentience regarding androids, but not in a huge philosophical sense. It follows two teenage boys who interview different androids they come across in a cafe who have gained 'sentience' or independence in one way or another, learning about their life and why they have chosen to 'defy' what they are made to do. Death Parade is a supernatural anime rather than sci-fi as it takes place in a world after death where people play intense psychological games to bring out their true nature to be judged on the podium of whether it is heaven or hell that they  read more

Both explore the nature of human emotions, an attempt to understand them and put them to the test in situations of emotional detachment.

"Computer Revolution: The Birth of the Most Powerful and Fastest Brains" / "Computer Kakumei: Saikyou x Saisoku no Zunou Tanjou" and "Time of Eve" / "Eve no Jikan" focus on how society would function in a future where people are surrounded by artificial intelligence. In their respective universes, each shines a light on a competition between man and computer for jobs and tasks, the interactions between a person and an artificial intelligence in everyday life, and the possible relations that can develop between them over time.

Both make you think about humanity's relationship to technology. Airs of mystery in both series, you gotta focus to get the most out of it.  
report Recommended by Currytofu
Shared themes include what it means to be human and accept those different from oneself. Also, these shows are better understood through their symbols and overall messages rather than plot events.

"What it means to be a human?" Both of these series tackle the aspect of if technology had human feelings.

Both are themed around A.I and humans and the interactions and issues that arise between them. 
report Recommended by Cozye
They talk about similar questions of whether humanoid robots and A.I. can live alongside humans.

If it was the action/horror part of Tokyo Ghoul that you liked, then this is probably not the anime for you. I am solely making this recommendation because I haven't seen anyone else do it, and I want to share my opinions. Eve no Jikan is only 6 episodes long. It's about a future where society uses human-like androids. But among the people who choose to see these androids as mere objects, there is a cafe called 'Eve no Jikan'. In this cafe, humans and androids are treated equally, much in the way ghouls and humans are in Anteiku. Both series also follow the main  read more

Both are about androids and the huma interactions they have while the setting being primarly in a Café, being interesting touching SoL anime The differe is Eve is a more cyberpunk take while YKK is a comfy show

Both pose very interesting psychological questions. They also have some rather good comedy at times.

Both explore the philosophical application of human rights to robots and the relationships between humans and robots.

both relies the same message to the watchers. While Eve no Jikan focus more between the interaction of humans to robot/androids, Natsume Yuujinchou focus on interaction of a human with demons.

Both shows, show that it is possible to make an original anime that is awesome with just 6 episodes! Both SERIOUSLY WORTH WATCHING!!!!  
report Recommended by sukizo
Eve and Working make up two of the few restaurant-based animes that I know. Though differing heavily from the dark, mysterious aura of Eve and the light, happy-lappy atmosphere of Working, both animes' main male leads get sucked into their respective environments, discovering a unique array of characters while themselves maturing over time. 
report Recommended by WAXCHUG
Fighting bigotry and overcoming societal boundaries are common themes in the two titles. Eve no Jikan takes the more serious approach of the two, and There She Is is more romance-oriented, but they both tackle said subjects beautifully and are excellent watches.

I think it has the some style of technology... hmmm just watch Eve after Eden than you'll think so... maybe :p 
report Recommended by albadr_almuneer
Both are science fiction stories with very similar animation styles and character designs. 
report Recommended by TVC15
The main social issues that crop up throughout each series are those of discrimination and racism. Eve no Jikan uses humans and robots to show this, while NieA Under 7 uses humans and aliens, and even takes it one step further by having a caste system for the aliens that even the aliens care about. 
report Recommended by Numi
Both are about the relationships between robots and humans. very touching:) 
report Recommended by Orulyon
Both series are science fiction anime peppered with a light hearted romance theme heavily influenced by Isaac Asimov's legendary work, I;Robot. It is rare to come across such refreshing series when wading through the boring, cartoon violence anime like FMA: Brotherhood mixed with fan service laden shows. Both are quintessential must watch series for the mature viewer. 
report Recommended by arimakenshin
I liked both. It may be a stretch (story-wise) recommending these two but give them a try. Reasons for recommendation: Both have a slight science fiction setting, animation is similar, Eve no Jikan is less than 20 minutes an episode so at 6 episodes X 20= 120 minutes. Summer wars is about the same length at 1 hr. 54 minutes (or less than 120 min.) You won't have wasted too much time with either.

Both series' main aspect is about this powerful atmosphere witch they've been granted. We can easily understand the feelings and the messages the authors wanted to send in Bakemonogatari as it's made for Eve no Jikan. An other similar point is about this type of action, this kind of rhythm they both keep in the dialogs to captivate the attention, the earth of the watcher. 
report Recommended by lequinow
the story is slow paced and is not for people who want fast paced action packed 30 minutes of fun.usagi drop has its own unique style of story telling and the art is something new but after the first episode you get used to it its about a guy who takes in his supposedly grandpas daughter who is his aunt? the story revolver around him and his 6 year old aunt.. the loss of a parent and the beggining of a relationship and hardship of being a parent..

Both have a similar atmosphere, take place in an unusual bar/cafe and are in some way psychological. 
report Recommended by Idan
Both feature very calm and relaxing/warm atmosphere. Both have similar style and sound theme. Mushishi deals with themes similar to ENJ in several episodes. Both animes feel very similar in terms of storytelling as well. One major difference, though, is that ENJ is set in the future, and Mushishi is set somewhere in 1800's (?).

The story of Katoran from Eve no Jikan is very similar to Rain Town plot, isn't it?

Eve no Jikan and Planetes are both hard sci-fi anime that depict a not-too-distant future. Both explore interesting themes that will really make you think.

Both are about a cafe where people with unique backgrounds come to share a common ground. The main characters both have unusual relationships that lead them to the different cafes.

Aside from both being science-fiction, these wouldn't seem very similar at first. However, it's clear that one theme that both of these real hit home on is the contemplation of what it really means to be human. - Eve No Jikan is a very down to Earth tale showing a world where very life-like androids are commonplace . - Kaiba is set in a very fantasy-like futuristic universe where memories can literally be extracted or implanted into people. I'd heartily recommend both to anyone who likes thought provoking sci-fi. Try not to let Kaiba's visual's deter you from it. It's somewhat off-putting at first, but by the  read more

Though these shows differ greatly from one another, they both deal with the meaning and frontiers of robotkind and mankind by making both interact. I especially enjoyed the fact that it was done in a concise and light-hearted way through chattering.
