Umareru Kachi no Nakatta Jibun ga Anna no Tame ni Dekiru Ikutsuka no Koto
|
Raw evil, that's what the main characters in both of these manga represent. Not the stereotypical laughable shounen villain, but a bonafide albeit sometimes too realistic psychopath set in modern society.

Kill la Kill
|
Both have a school setting, suits that gives the wearer power, and similar antagonists. The only real difference between Kill la Kill and Kakugo no Susume is the violence. Kakugo no Susume has tons of blood/gore all over the place and is definitely not for the feint of heart.

Both are virtual reality types of anime. In .hack, it focuses on character development and the plot, unlike SAO which fails miserably in my opinion.

The Rapeman

Both anime cover serious material and though some watchers may be thoroughly disgusted some people (like me) will laugh a lot watching. Also in BNP it's yaoi so just pretend it's futa man and you'll get through it without being too mentally scarred.
