These series both have a suspenseful, mysterious, and thriller feel to them, as well as having a strongly psychological theme. You can expect to see some surreal imagery in either.
Disappearances, murders, abductions, sexual perversions, and other such things are what you can expect in both, as they show the darker sides of human society and how different people struggle with it.
It would be impossible for me to elaborate on the core similarity between these shows without giving everything away, so all I can really say is that despite being totally dissimilar in almost all other respects, the premise that everything hinges on is essentially the same in both.
Both anime blend thriller, mystery and supernatural elements but the most important of all, psychological elements.
Despite obvious differences in many factors (e.g setting, cast and aesthetics), both anime deal with various societal matters, such as the consequences of mass hysteria and fear (especially prevalent in Paranoia Agent, but also treated in the second half of Shinsekai Yori) and how society and whatever political and economical system shapes its individuals on a moral and mental level.
