Both anime has a fight between humanity and Titans/Demons. Bigger enemy is scary, strong and hard to defeat, but there are groups dealing with them. Demon slayers and Survey Corps. Then we have naive main character who looses people that are important to him. Lots of tears, screaming and trying to make things better. Few years of training to become a man and then the MC is out to destroy them all.

Naive people go to city, hoping that their life will go great, they'll do a few things, make money, become famous and... And then life surprises them, people die, lots of blood, MC gets little trauma, then there's a hero saving the day. Done. Basically - naive characters, op characters, blood and gore, quests and dark atmosphere of the world.

It might not look like it from the start, but both anime touch pretty deep and dark side of society that doesn't really get much attention in mainstream media these days. Big crimes, corruption, conspiracies, few controlling the many. Mafia buying out police and court, experiments with humans, sexual abuse etc. Whilst Monster is deeper and detective type, Banana Fish is more into gangs and revenge, but they both are for mature audience.

Dark atmosphere of the world, both series composed by Hiroshi Seko. Biggest thing they have in common is showing how few can control the many. Big corporations are testing new species whilst public knows nothing about it or are forced to thing that it's helpful and nice for ajin too. In Banana Fish it's the mafia ordering everyone around, getting people in important government positions do what ever mafia wants and public are left in the dark. Sort of soft disclosure.

Both of these anime have very different story, but what I find similar is that protagonists are involved in an incident that affects their feelings and lives. So they end up having to learn a lot from life, get mature, understand their feelings better and let go of things that troubles them most.Both have a nice story, breath taking animation and emotional scenes.
