Both anime explore a dystopian future world in which new technology plays a role in shaping society, for better or for worse. The tone of both shows is dark and gritty. Each has a great cast of characters. Each explores philosophical ideas about society, although they differ in the specific ideas they explore.

Gankutsuou and Astra Lost in Space are similar. They each follow a group of teenagers set in the future, in which a series of mysteries will unfold. Each has their fair share of dramatic moments and plot twists. Characters in each of these anime have diffucult pasts, a common factor being a poor relationship with their parents. Both are enjoyable sci-fi dramas that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Monster and Rainbow both tell dark and dramatic stories but ultimately have uplifting messages of good people doing good things in bad situations. They both have realistic tone and realistic characters, and Rainbow reminded me very much of Monster in this regard. The characters are excellent, and each character has their own perspective in the story similar to how Monster follows the perspective of several main characters. The characters have a depth of humanity to them in each of these series that so few anime attain. Each of these stories are about completely different scenarios, one an non-linear crime thriller, the other a prison drama, but the tone, realism, and quality of the story and characters reach a certain note that made me appreciate Rainbow in many of the ways that I appreciated Monster.
