Durarara!!

Both deal with a large number of people connected by a mysterious supernatural entity - Celty in 'Durarara!' and Shonen Bat in 'Paranoia Agent'. In both shows, there's loads of characters, ranging from sick fetishists to angst-ridden outcasts. The story in each show is told from the various viewpoints surrounding the odd events and every episode focuses on a different character. However, 'Paranoia Agent' has a tighter, more linear approach. The tone of both shows become gradually darker as they continue, with most episodes easily switching from dark comedy to light drama in a heartbeat. Both function as psychological thrillers and have few action scenes.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
|
Both feature the struggle of humans against non-humans, a mecha with god-like powers, and an emphasis on drills as weapons, though with Tengen Toppa the drill is symbolism representing humanity moving past obstacles and climbing higher - or a sexual metaphor in some cases. Both anime also feature hotblooded heroes and combine humor with drama. Although, Tengen Toppa features a set of romantic subplots as well.
