Theyre both about a main character that seems to think there are mass evil organizations in their lives. both of them also have a young girl trying to cure them of this
theyre both funny as hell too
Both of the male main characters are depressed and think their lives are worthless, and they both meet cheerful optimistic girls who could help them with their depression.

They are equally by the two are on qestões emotional, and the two are comedies ...
Both are dealing with social issues. Also, in both main hero is introduced to a mysterious cheerful girl who's playing an important role in his life.
A young man struggles with his own issues and is forced to deal with the strange and overbearing supporting cast, mostly female, he attracts. Both series take an over-the-top approach to humour that can get quite dark at times; they're quick-paced, cynical, and rife with anime references, and the parallels between Satou's intense paranoia and Itoshiki-sensei's perpetual despair, both played for laughs, are hard to deny.

Both are dark anime that makes fun of social problems. Both makes references to other anime. The protagonist is introduced to a happy, cheerful person to try to cure their problems but the protagonist denies her help.
A similar type of dark comedy.
While NHK explores the hikikomori/otaku culture more,Zetsubo-sensei touch a lot more topics and is much more cartoonish in art style.
There is a lot of "despair" in both shows. The main character in both is eccentric, and downright strange. Zetsubou Sensei is definitely a comedy which puns different aspects of life while NHK is a very deep and sad story about an individual who doesn't know the meaning of his life. The difference is whether you are in the mood to laugh or cry.

Both have dark comedy themes such as: suicide, depression, and hikkomori/neets.
The randomness of each story adds somthing that keeps bringing you back for more. I'm sure one of the only diffrences between the two is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei doesn't really follow a story line.
Both series employs the usage of absurd humor and other similar themes. The humor presented to the viewers in both series are considered black comedy where the main male protagonist gets himself into situations that are often peculiar.
Both series are unique and deals with phobias and social issues.
Both series literally takes Japanese culture and transforms it into a modern day phenomenon.
Both series has appealing characters that have peculiar personalities.
Both series also gives off a psychological vibe.
Both embody dark comedy and satire as their main focus on the show. However Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a pure comedy anime while NHK ni Youkoso also focuses on drama

Both have dark comedy and feature a main lead with a negative view on society. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is more comedic focused and NHK is about an individual overcoming their struggles.
