Ergo Proxy

Both contain similar existential themes and rely heavily on events that occurred prior to the series to fuel it's main plot. Each contain a corrupt character who sees his world with a skewed perspective and tries to fix it through whatever means necessary. Similar cyberpunk/dystopian setting as well.
Both are science fiction dystopias, with a similar tone. They're both psychological, and have their surreal moments, though the end of Akira is far more surreal and weird than anything in Ergo Proxy.
They both have themes of "breaking out of the world" and destroying the old, corrupt, crumbling regime to start anew.
Both cyberpunk/dystopian anime that present an eccentric take on God.

Both are cyber punk, both are post-apocalyptic, and both are geared toward a seinen audience.
