Blue Gender

Both have symbols in the shape of genitalia and the characters have weird relationships with each other. And both are dark and focus on mechs. Different but a lot of themes bleed in to each other. Also bot well known in the west (blue gender was on toonami)

Akiba Meido Sensou

Both take very common premises (idols, cafe maids) and just go nuts with it. Absurd, satirical. Both also have a complete idiot as the manager.

Made in Abyss

Both are extremely dark series in not just its depiction violence but its depiction of a brutal unforgiving world. Frankly I think Ima, soko ni iru boku is far more extreme in how dark it is.

Shigurui

It's nothing like Afro Samurai. Doing this recomendation so the top recommendation is texhnolyze. Both done by the same director who is a master at creating tense atmosphere. if you like Shiguiri you will like texhnolyze
