The similarities here are loose, however the mood is much the same. The color palette and art style are similar, particularly the use of muted almost washed-out colors with strong dark overtones. Both are set in a near-future timeline with a post-apocalyptic twist. The difference is that where Ergo Proxy has a strong, linear plot line, Texhnolyze's plot is somewhat disjointed and very far from being direct. For those that love a story you have to watch a couple times before understanding what it's trying to get at, Texhnolyze is an obscure must.

Both are dark dystopic cyberpunk animes. Texhnolyze is alot darker and slower in pacing. Ergo Proxy is more action and perhaps more psychological?
dark atmosphere, fictional (sci-fi) world to explore, rather slow development regarding plot and characters, not your average style of storytelling
they both have their dark atmospheric look...they both have the same mysterious type of story characters gettin to find somethin abt somwonw or theirself...they also both have same type of animation...
Almost the same setting as the other and they both got almost the same feeling. But I must say that I prefer Texhnolyze over Ergo Proxy.

Texhnolyze is an anime with a very similar feel to Ergo Proxy. Both are based in an almost false utopia. Texhnolzye takes place in the underground city of Lux, which is similar in a few ways to Ergo Proxy's Romdeau.
There is a similar atmosphere and tone to the anime, sharing the same dark feel. You may not like Texhnolyze, since it is harder to follow than Ergo Proxy, but probably if you really enjoyed Ergo Proxy, give it a shot.
Dark and gritty steampunk/cyberpunk worlds that couldn't care less about the well-being of their characters. They are both full of excellent world-building, mystery, and believable characters. The journeys they can take you on are unlike any other. If you are looking for a grim series that asks big questions and leaves it up to you to find the answers, then these two might be the ones for you.
In terms of story, both series features a cyberpunk setting with a similar feeling in a dark world. The plot is deep in both that portrays the dark backgrounds, intense scars, and other psychological factors.
The series' dystopian themes are also present that holds influence among many of its characters. Both series also takes place in the future where technology are more advanced than our own.
Both series features a complex plot that becomes more clear as the episodes progresses.
Both are incredibly dark and incredibly quiet dystopian/cyberpunk anime.

Both are cyberpunk, both have dark atmospheres and similar mood to them. They are fairly different in many aspects, but if you like one you'll probably like the other as well.
both have a dark futuristic plot and you could say both are a cyberpunk anime with a complex history or idea to understand.

It takes a certain, special someone to enjoy and comprehend anime like this, so if you were fond at all about one of these, you should thoroughly enjoy the other. Both anime feature a character trying to understand the world around them as it slowly crumbles apart. The overall atmosphere for both is dark and nihilistic and can leave a feeling of despair at times. Not for the faint of heart, or short attention span.
Both share the bleak dystopian setting, heavy philosophical implications, characters searching for their own truth and/or purpose, the human-vs-machine problematic and heavily character-driven stories. Both set a very believable, dark, post-apocalyptic atmosphere and deal with various aspects of society and technology. Texhnolyze has a more raw and nihilistic feel to it. Ergo Proxy takes a more episodic approach than Texhnolyze.

dystopian setting, gloomy colors, lots of philosophy, symbolism and art references, progress extremely slowly, and you get confused often.
The design and world building are quite similar. Both use a dark color palette and have a deep plot.
Similar post-apocalyptic themes of existentialism, similar characters themes, storytelling pace with rich world development.
These animes are extremely well animated, they both share the same awesome dark colors and there stories are both about the world being somehow polluted.
The overall atmosphere and tension in both the series is quite similar. Also the narration and overall dark theme of the story supported by mecha. Both rock as top cyberpunk anime.
Same cyberpunk and dystopic atmosphere, touching philosophic and psychological issues and topics. Fascinating music score and more or less same amount of episodes.

Sci-fi cyberpunk anime with a very depressing mood that will make new viewers have tough time to complete them. Mysterious characters, slow development and both take place in an underground city set in a post-apocalyptic future
Their share a lot of common topics for the psychological side, we have a bit of dementia which gives the same impression after watching it for both of the anime, indeed, they even share the same feelings thanks to a similar art and animation, we have also a lot of Sci-Fi elements that are similar such a dystopia etc

robots, machines, and a run down apocalyptic world with slow beautiful storytelling despite its dullness in colour. gets really into the psyche of its cast as the show progresses. somber atmospheres really pulls this together.
1. Both series are set in dark and dystopian worlds that are characterized by a sense of desolation and decay. The settings contribute significantly to the overall atmosphere, creating a feeling of hopelessness and existential contemplation.
2. Like "Texhnolyze," "Ergo Proxy" delves deep into philosophical themes such as identity, consciousness, free will and the human condition. Both series ask thought-provoking questions about the nature of existence and the consequences of technological advancement on society.
3. Both series use a minimalist approach to dialogue, often favoring visual storytelling and symbolism to convey emotions and ideas. This can lead to a sense of detachment between characters and viewers, requiring
