Same feel, both have extreme non-sense action scenes, dirty humor and stylized art. The Protagonist are similar, Retro reminds Panty and Pandy reminds Stocking.
As products of the same twisted mind (that of animator/director Hiroyuki Imaishi), these two anime have a lot in common: the uber-stylized visuals, hyper-speed pacing, audiovisual overload, surreal "storytelling", love of overkill and deranged sense of humor which characterize Imaishi's work are on full display in both works. It's a style that will repulse some as much as it will fascinate others, but if you like one you're practically guaranteed to like the other.

-similar crazy artstyle
-both have badass main characters
-full of dirty jokes
-action-packed
Similar Art, Action, Characters, and Humor, though Panty & Stocking has less action. Also, it's very fast paced and the storyline is a bit confusing, like FLCL. Either you will love, or hate this. Btw, in the credits of the English Dub, Gainax has a place, not sure if they helped out, but with it the camera angles it seemed so, that company also made Panty & Stocking.

Both are directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, and they have the same kind of humor and action.
Pretty much Panty & Stocking in movie form with more focus on action.

some weird things going on, similar art, similar kind of homour and much action
Production I.G. and Gainax both worked on FLCL. Both follow two crude protagonists with a penchant for sex and violence. Both have a crazy, comic-book kind of art style.
Both were directed by the same man and both are filled with high octane action with stylish visuals.
They also both make little to no sense with the stories they hold.

Holy Shit! Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt & Dead Leaves seem to embody this term with all their might. Both are simply crass entertainment that try to be as vulgar and explicit as possible chock-a-block with blunt sex jokes and trash entertainment, whilst rattling the senses with their sharp comic strip style animation and are both fast paced experimental animations by Production I.G. and Gainax.
Panty and Stocking can be considered far more witty and more of a social commentary, while Dead Leaves is the embodiment of pulp fiction entertainment where its plain offensiveness and stupidity is its best point.
Dead Leaves is similar to Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt for various reasons, this OVA shares the same director which explains both very little and oh-so-much… This anime also has some of the same quirky animation and humour which I like to refer to as Immature/Mature (which I personally find hilarious) and finally the pacing at hyper speed is definitely present.

Both have western-like animation, both are action and comedy and both are full of perverted jokes and randomness. Both were made by same director.
Both have more of a western approach with focus on dirty humor with unique animation styles.
Imaishi is an artist and not giving a single F is his art.
- atypical art style for an anime, which will turn some off, that works perfectly not only in their own particular world, but enables the characters to be moved freely and absurdly for the best comedic effect
- wonderfully directed dubs, packed with a lot of vulgarity, humor and great acting
- an incredible sense of urgency that keeps you on your toes at all times
- comically absurd premises
- great entertainment for fans of raunchy animation such as south park, drawn together etc.
- both directed by the precious Imaishi
- both influenced by other works that

Dead Leaves is basically Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: The Prototype. Both anime have a similar stylized art style and a very similar brand of vulgar humor, but Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt takes these things to the maximum. The main characters are similar as well, with Retro being similar to Panty and Pandy being similar to Stocking. Not to mention that Hiroyuki Imaishi directed both anime as well. Watch both if you want something different from most anime out there.
