The main characters from each are very much alike; they are immature adults who can are ruled by their vices. They're both Sci-Fi shows and the aliens in both are typically humourous in appearance. The style of humour is relatively similar too, although whilst Space Dandy is more goofy (in a manner similar to Lupin), Gintama is more deadpan and revolving around anti-climaxes. The stories are sort of similar too. They both feature a nearly broke team lead by the protagonist who in Gintama, do odd jobs and Space Dandy, hunting for rare aliens. They both have hearts that will overcome their overwise prominent greed and are willing to go broke if it ensures smiles on faces. However both shows are more-or-less episodic thus the prior episode has little bearing on the next resulting in many short stories but this works well in both. Definitely check out the other if you like one, the similarities are great but they tread fairly different terroritory in their theme, as whilst Gintama also has Sci-fi elements, the Historic late 19th century Japan themes are usually more prevelant whilst Space Dandy thus far has been purely Sci-Fi. Both however are mostly prominently a comedy.

The two series deal with how mankind deals with 'new' humans. Food shortages, struggle for survival and despair are overarching themes. Where as Titan tells a gritty shounen tale, Jintai presents a cheerful face that may appear childish but belies a very adult level of cynicism. There are strong parallels to be drawn between the two when homo sapiens no longer become the predominant species.

Both KyoAni, same seiyuus for both lead male and lead male's best mate. Similarities in pacing and lead male's general attitude.
