Both are supernatural action/drama/comedy storylines (although less of the comedy in Durarara and more of the action in Index). They both take place in epic urban settings and incorporate science fiction and fantasy into the same world in interesting and creative ways. The supernatural elements of both shows are explained just as much as they need to be and are really cool to watch. The characters are pretty different, although some parallels can be drawn between the supporting cast if you really try? But the main characters (Touma and Mikado) are both the same sort of "not necessarily a nice-guy-stereotype but incredibly moral and dedicated to their friends to the end kind of guy, and the female leads (Misaka and Index, and Celty and Anri) are unique and interesting in their own ways. The anti-heroe type characters are easier to draw similarities between, seeing as Accelerator is kind of the nightmarish combination of Shizuo's ridiculous strength and desire to not have to fight plus Izaya's attitude, pragmatism and general sociopathy. Also the soundtrack in both shows is phenomenal. Like really, even if you don't watch either show, go look up the soundtrack to both because they are amazing.
