Taking place in a local city, both series involve a group of characters with superpower abilities. These characters become intertwined in a story that tells of their present lives (with some flashbacks and characterization). Both series provoke humor with its dialogues, gags, and mysteries. For Gatchaman Crowds, the story revolves more around fighting for justice while Mekakucity Actors tells the interpersonal stories for its characters. I recommend both series for people interested in supernatural stories with slight tastes of mystery and humor.
[Bear with me please: it is just a first impression, I will properly discuss the similarities and differences (or even delete it) when Mekakucity will be finished]
> SIMILARITIES One-of-the-kind animes due to their original (sometime unstructured) cinematography/storytelling, which talk about supernatural things happening in current digital societies (should we call that "Digital" Science-fiction?).

Both shows involve a group of people who have been given supernatural powers a chance to fight what is considered evil/bad in their world. The art styles were very similar and they gave off similar vibes to me. Gatchaman Crowds focuses more on the prevailing justice that our world needs to survive while Mekakucity Actors focuses on character relationships and personal defeat of inner demons.
Genre wise they are both sci-fi.Both animes have an computer-program character that has sort of artifical intelligence(or idk,I can't call it a robot) .The one in Gatchaman Crowds is X that operates a networking video-game like program called "Galax," .The one in Mekakucity Actors is Takane that takes a form of a girl and also acts like a virus. Both anime involves a group of people that has some teenagers, and they have powers that no one can see.
Both focus on a strange group of young adults with supernatural powers in a modern Japan setting and both stories have a trippy edgy feel to the tone and atmosphere of the story and both have a sci fi urban fantasy setting to it as well too.
