Both take place in a bizarre but beautiful world. Both worlds appear pretty and childlike but are hiding something dark. It is unclear what is real and what is not. 
reportRecommended by Kaiko
Both have the best ending I have ever seen, both being really pessimist about human nature. Devilman tends to be more gory thou. They also are really short series so you can read than really fast.

Except from being from the same author, both are surreal fantasy dramas with very similar imagery (style is very artsy and unusual in relation to most manga, an alternative to vast majority contemporary manga art). Garden is collection of short stories, while Marie is one story, if you are interested in reading more alternative manga and you liked one of them you might be interested in reading another.

They're both set in alternate futures and explore the complexities of human nature. Also both have great art.

Both take place in a fantasy world,with the presence of mechanical beings (in Marie are part of the world, in Seiketsu are built from Kodo).However, The Music of Marie is more spiritual and psychological,focused on the relationship between people and God. Instead Seiketsu no Haguruma is more focused on the consequence of war ad the hate between different races.

Ai-ren and the music of Marie are both in the philosophical post apocalyptic sci-fi genre, and both are incredible in the way the story is executed. Two of my absolute favorites.

Both YKK and Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku is about the decay of humanity and how to deal with it, set in a post-apocalyptic world. Both contain fantastic art, but most of all, they are extremely emotionally touching. Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku is much shorter, it can be a good start.

Hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking about human nature.

Magical realism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_realism) used to talk about human nature. Surprising depths of theme. Modern treatment of traditional memes.

In both of these publications, what we are introduced to is a fantastic and imaginative world abundant in culture and people. 
reportRecommended by radiantfire
Both are fantasy storys about a world buit on the ruins of a ancient civilization destroyed by the ambitious of mankind. This past world keeps many secrets which can change the story of the world.

The same kind of fantastic history. 
reportRecommended by vanns
Fantastical stories with a soft, contemplative side and dark undertones. Talk about human nature. 
reportRecommended by bubble
Both series have allusions to religious ideas, although The Music of Marie is much more obvious with them than Madoka. Both have an interesting art style, even though Madoka is adapted from the anime. If you like a series that starts off light-hearted but becomes dark and mysterious, then you will enjoy both of these.

Both take place in a fantasy world where technology is limited and somewhat frowned down upon. Each deal with the issue of Freedom vs. Peace: "The price of freedom is war or that of peace, tyranny. People who value peace above all will sacrifice liberty to get it. Those who value freedom above all will sacrifice peace to achieve it." The tyrant of each is an almost god-like figure somewhat feared and enamored by the protagonist. Eventually they each have to face their tyrant.

The two share similar settings, characters, and themes. Both protagonists are talented in their fields of work and have caught the attention of enigmatic supernatural beings.
