These anime are just....sucky. Of course they are both fantastic series, but are set in a fatalistic world that is really really sucky for everyone; breaking free isn't hard, rather it's impossible and laughably futile. The main difference in the nature of their worlds is that at least in Fate/Zero the illusion of hope and light is cast....in Ergo Proxy it is never present at all. The themes and focuses are quite different between the two worlds, but both hold their own as solid watches. Ergo Proxy is more Greek-inspired (see Oedipus) and Fate/Zero is more 19th-century-Germany-inspired (see Nietzsche, Goethe's Faust, The Ring Cycle).
