Same haunting beautiful atmosphere...
the characters, atmosphere and color palette are very simillar.
Though they are completely different anime's, I couldn't help notice a few similarities:
Dark fantasy settings, extremely Surrealistic with some bone-chilling orchestra. The story features only two characters, a girl and a mysterious man sharing an uncanny bond between them
Both anime's are 'experimental', created more for the sake of art rather than entertainment
Angel's Egg and Kigeki are two dark, visually stunning, eerie anime that centre around a young girl in the company of a mysterious older man who come into their lives and create a dramatic change. There are elements of the supernatural and the grotesque in each movie.

Watch one, and you'll definetly be able to feel similarities.
Both have similar art and storys. Kigeki is far shorter then VHD but still leaves a lasting impression.

Le Portrait de Petit Cossette and Comedy are dark and brooding anime that take the supernatural element to a whole new level of psychological ambivalence. Both are visually challenging and original in their take of emotionally upsetting horror.
It's hard to compare either of these anime to anything else, as I feel they are both quite unique. But, even though Kigeki does not have the same goth feel, there is a similarity in mood and how these stories are told. Both seem to rely more on visuals than dialogue, each with their own sense of a dark fairytale, taking us into another, but still familiar world.

Though extremely different at first sight, these stories have the same feelings beyond the pictures. They are two monologues: a monologue of a cat and a monologue of a little girl, which describe to us their sense of life and their hopes. Somehow you would find equal atmospheres in Cat's love story and Comedy's childhood story.

While at first glance these shorts seems to be on opposite ends of the spectrum - Kigeki a fictional story set in the historic Irish War of Independence, Diary of TR set in a surrealist world with no ties to reality - there exists a very similar feeling between them: The style and colors are luminously muted, both stories leave the viewer with no real sense of closure, and both create a strong attachment to the characters with very little (or no) dialogue.

They both have the same dark theme. The art is dark, as so is the story.
And plus, Kigeki has to do with The Black Swordsman liking a certain type of book, while in Death Note, there's a book that can kill other people.

Also a short anime done by Studio 4°C (10 minutes).

At first glance, this recommendation may seem a tad off but Princess Tutu and Comedy are some of the few titles that incorporate classical music with the animation proper in a way that is both relevant and artistically done. In both there is a great importance given to story telling and to narration techniques. While Princess Tutu is not as forlorn as the very dark Comedy both have an aura of dreamy surrealism that is highly captivating.

they both seem to have a dark, depressing yet meaningful feeling to them both.
