Well, at first view, these two are not similair, so many people will not understand this recommendation.
But there are analogies: Dark ambience, complex story, very depressing end, "creatures" with supernatural powers.
If you rely on the quality of story-telling, i would suggest you *not* to follow this recommendation. To me, the flow of Ergo Proxy's story looks much more unexperienced than that of Gilgamesh.
Both are excellent gothic-style Anime with similar thoughts/questions about human beeings
They are both inspired by mythology and have supernatural creatures and they have the same mood and color palette , and the graphic is somewhat similar.
Both shows are dark sci-fi with heavy mythological motifs, stylish art direction (Gilgamesh has no budget, but the attempt counts) and atmosphere. The main connection is the narrative technique. Both shows tell a linear, chronological story without too many flashbacks. Yet, the underlying mystery is unraveled glacially slow, so information required to understand the actions one witnesses are lacking at that point. In Ergo Proxy this is more massive and pretty much requires a re-watch (or being spoiled beforehand). Gilgamesh is less extreme, but it still requires full attention while watching. Also both shows use symbolism a lot.
