The main similarity here is the sketchy but intentional art style and feel, as well as the very detailed world design. Tekkon Kinkreet is far more psychological and darker than Eizouken, but both have very elaborate and imaginative worlds. I often wanted to pause and just take in the details of the backgrounds, as there are many times where it would be impossible to pick up on everything the first time around.
One thing that inextricably ties the two together is the bizarre architecture that each of the buildings flaunts with pride. The perennial, overwhelming sense of urban claustrophobia completely pervading the worldliness and freedom of expression of both settings makes either worthy of being recommended alongside the other. Granted, Eizouken hasn't shown enough of its pervasive atmosphere for me to contentiously opine on the state of affairs of its seemingly two-of-a-kind urban landscape. Though, it does feel rather out of touch with its feature-length counterpart in terms of the facial cues that illustrate the characters' emotions.
